Rheumatism is not incurable. Stub born? Yes! But Dr Shoop's Rheumat- ic Remedy will if faithfully used drive it out of the system. It's the blood that's at fault. Poisonous crystals like sand get into the joints and muscles. Dr Shops Rheumatic Rem edy prevents this. It drives Rheuma- tiSm from the blood and then Rheuma- tism dies. We recommend and sell it. R.

A SNAKE MAKES A SOCIAL CALL.

A SNAKE MAKES A SOCIAL CALL.
 Miss Ives, bookkeeper at the Bethel Manufacturing Go. $ shop had quite a surprise one day last week. While at work in the office she noticed some thing hanging from closet door and it kept moving. On close examination she found 1t to be a striped snake about two feet long hanging from the top of the door with it's tail, it's head pro jecting out. Miss Ives, not being friend of snakes, called the attention of a gentleman who happened to be in the office to the unwelcome visitor. He soon killed the snake, much tolthe relief of the bookkeeper. The strange part of it all is how the snake got there. A close examination could re- veal no place where he could enter the office, and the only way possi- ble it seems for the snake to have entered was to have climbed up and come through the window. The Bethel Manufacturing Go. manu- factures hats for almost everybody, but not for snakes. so in the future they had better try some other office.
