A UNIQUE APOLOGY.

President Roosevelt was telling a
friend about his mail, which
averages 500 or 600 letters a day.
"One of the most remarkable let
tiers l ever received" he said,
arrived on the morning the first full
accounts of the Martinique disaster
were printed in the newspapers.
The writer said he saw that the
American consul at Martinique
had been burned to death. He
applied for the place and wound
up with this sentence: Il make this
early application so as to get in
ahead of those loathsome creatures,
the Office seekers"

WAS sIx-TENTHs DRUNK.
How the Policeman Knew the Exact
Proportion of Inebriety.

1.-THE testimony Of a policeman
in the police court the other day
caused quite a bit of laughter" a
member of the bar said to couple
of friends yesterday afternoon.
"A man was on trial for violat-
ing the temperance clause OF the
vagrancy law, which means that ne
was charged with being an habituai
drunkard.
How drunk was this man when
you arrested him?' the prosecuting
attorney asked the officer when he
was called on to testify against the
man with the appetite for frewater.
About six-tenths drunk, l
guess the bluecoat replied.
How did you arrive at that
conclusion?' he was asked.
We'll, heard the Judge say
the other day that ten drinks would
make man drunk, and this man
had taken about six drinks before
l arrested him. the guardian OF the
peace answered in all seriousness.
The court, after hearing all the
evidence, decided that some restric-
ton ought to be placed on the
unfortunate and sentenced him to
a term OF six months on the farm, =
the attorney said in concluding
Washington Star.

IS SOCIETY WORSE
THAN IT WAS?

If the question be asked, says
Nineteenth Century and After, SIS
society now better than it was a
hundred years ago." the frequent
answer, hastily and cheerfully
given, is. eyes, undoubtedly, for
people are more sober, more refined,
and no longer swear" This is true
to a certain extent, but when we
consider haw much more educated,
refined, and sober the whole nation
has become, and what vast strides
have made in science and all kinds
of knowledge, there in comparison
society seems to have made little,
if any, progress. Irhere may be now
as many wise, charming and bril-
liantly clever people as there were
then, but they have not increased
in number, though society has.
Certainly among men it is no
longer thought fine thing to drink
too much. Insobriety very seldom
and when it does, is considered a
disgrace. But women drink more
than they did fifty years ago, not
only wine, but spirits and liquor.
Perhaps the now common practice
of smoking cigarettes habitually
may tend to increase this evil.
Then the taking of drugs seems
much more common. There is a
greater impotence at the least
pain. A slight headache, often
caused only by racketing about
after too many pleasures, is made
an excuse for taking antipyrine, or
some other soothing medicine, with
results disastrous to heart and
nerves. As to manners, it is curious
to observe how far less they have
improved in society than among
those from whom good manners are
least expected. Except in the case
of a panic, it was less disagreeable
to be in common crowd at the
entrance of an exhibition or theatre

No Smoking in Convention.

Considerable pleasantly was indulg.
ed in when the committee on rules aus
order of business made its report
One of the rules proposed by the com
mittee prohibits smoking in the con
vention hall during the sessions. Con
siderable opposition was evident, but
finally, on a motion, the antismokers
won out. This is the first time a rule
of this kind has been made.
Another rule is to the effect that
any one attending the convention and
persisting in d%isorderly conduct shall
be expelled from the room. 1t also
provides that any delegate eel in
an intoxicated condition shall be rep
rimanded and reported by the secre
tary of the convention to his local

A MILD CASE:

OF Contagious Blood Poison never exis-
ted. 1t is always bad, though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease APP
pear for a long time.
Because the disease is slow in devel-
oping does not indicate that the case is
a mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
ternal signs. Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, a red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mouth and throat, unsightly copper
colored blotches, loss of hair and eye
brows and other symptoms of this miser-
able disease. When the poison is thus
fighting its way to the surface, exposing
the disease in all its hideousness, we call
it a bad case; but Contagious Blood Poi
son., whether working internally or exter-
nally, is dangerous, treacherous disease.
S. S. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and
permanently. 1t is an antidote for the
deadly virus that produces the awful
eruptions, sores and ulcers, and destroys
the bones. Mercury and Potash dry up
the skin ernptions, but in so doing drive
the poison further into the system, where
it SAUNDERS for a time, but comes back
agai4 with redoubled fury.
S. S. S. is a vegetable remedy that has
been used successfully for years in treat

The fourth oracle box social was
given by r. NJ. Parsons S. S. class

previous to this occasion Mr.. Par
sons gave to each member of the
class a quarter, with instructions
that they, like the servant in the
parable of the ten talents. should
increase the money four-fold and on
the 23d of November they would
meet and each relate how he had
increased his quarter.
A large crowd was gathered at
Mrs. Sutherlin's home on the ap-
pointed night, each one interested
to know how the others had made
his dollar. A prize was given to the
one who wrote the best article on
how his money was made.
The prize was given to Miss Cora
Kelly, who had made the best use
of her talents, having earned with
her quarter over seven dollars. The
proceeds, which amounted to over
forty-five dollars will be spent in
buying Christmas presents for the
poor
Dainty refreshments were served
by the hostess during the evening
Partners were secured by matching
Bible names, each couple having to
tell the story represented by their
names before they could be admit
ted to the dining room.
