The Battieship Nebraska.

Viewed as a defensive Or offensive
engine the Nebraska represents the
highest development in modern war
fare, and it is to be hoped that it will
ever be an agency for the preservation
of peace. In medicine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bittcrs represents the limit
of science in producing a perfect rem
edy and for over so years has been
the best on the market as a maker L
preserver of good health. It's won
derful the number of persons that have
been restored to robust health by talk
ing the Bitters, and such an experience
will be yours, too. if you'll only start
at once. Longer delay only makes a
cure SO much harder. For restoring
strength, stimulating the liver and
kidneys or to cure poor appetite, nau.
sea, headache. indigestion, dyspepsia,
liver troubles. chills, colds or la
grippe, the Bitters is unequalled. Try
it today.

The doctors are just now in a big
controversy over the question as to
whether or not God made tonsils in
vain. Chicago surgeons are of the
opinion that they are a root of evil
and should be extracted, while the
London Lancet, a medical journal of
worldwide repute, says a German
doctor has discovered that they are
necessary TO the health and happiness
of the race. So there you have it. The
doctors again disagree. Meanwhile
the person who has had the tonsils ex
traCted has no choice in the matter.

WITH MARKED CARDS
SWINDLERS MADE IMMENSE
SUMS IN HAVANA.
One Of the Most Elaborate and Elk.
pensive Schemes Ever Carried Out
Successfully Was That Of spaniard
Named Blaneo.

The amount of money n labor
which "high-class' swindlers will ex-
pend in bringing their plans into op-
Grafton is remarkable. The ordinary
burglar will consider $25 a large sum
to spend OIL a job. Not 80 the artist
in crime. He spends thousands. He
risks much because he plays for high
stakes.
One of the most remarkable swim
dies was that instituted by a Spaniard
named Blanco. No novelist has ever
count of this sharper's roguery in the
a S of the great Havana card swindle.
Blanco commenced operations by
buying an immense number of packs
of cards. He opened every pack, care
fully marked each card and skillfully
fastened the packets so thai it was i'm
possible to detect that the pack had
been opened. These operations were
tedious, and a couple of years were &C.
cupied by them. Then Blanco shipped
his vast stock of marked cards to Ha,
vana, where they were sold at such
low prices that the island dealers
would stock no others.
By the time Blanco himself had
reached Havana his cards were dis.
tributed all over the place. He Joined
the best clubs and with the aid of the
money he possessed and his cards
soon became rich. All was going well
until a Frenchman named Laforcade
informed him that he was a sharper.
1aforcade was also a rogue, a lower
kind of rogue than the Sapniard. lie
had obtained possession of several
packs of cards from one of the pr.n
ciral clubs. His intention was to
mark the cards and then replace them
in the club stores.
To his establishment he discovered
that somebody had marked the cards
already. He obtained several other
packs and found that they were mark.
ed also. He went to the dealers and
bought packs; every card was mark
ed. Thus he discovered the great
fraud.
He soon tracked the man who al
ways won and compelled him to share
his gains. Blanco had to do the sharp
ing while Laforcade spent the money
When Blanco came to the conclu
sion that the original stock of his
cards was becoming exhausted he laid
his hands on every penny he could
find and bolted, leaving the French
man in the lurch.
Laforcade being left without funds
was compelled to abandon his idle
ways. He cheated at cards, bunglet
and was detected. When brought be
fore the tribunal the whole of the re
markable facts Of the gigantic swim
die came to light.

Women Clerks in London.

London's women clerks are increas-

Newport News, Va, July az, 1903.
Lastsummer while recovering from ILL.,
ness of fever, I had a severe attack of
Inlammatory Rheumatism in the knees,
from which I was unable to leave my
room for several months. I was treated
by two doctors and also tried different
kinds of linaments and medicines which
seemed to relieve me from pain for
awhile, but at the same time 1 was not
any nearer getting we'll. One day while
reading a paper I saw an advertisement
of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided
to give it trial, which I did at once.
After l had taken three bottles I felt a
great deal better, and I still continued
to take it regularly until l was entirely
cured. I now feel better than for years,
and I cheerfully recommend S. S. S. to
any n suffering from Rheumatism.
