"Tattooing is gift" said the night
Waterman firmly. 1T as to be a
gift, as you can well see A man as
to know wot e is going to tattoo an
'ow to do it; there's no rubbing out or
altering. It's a gift, an it can't be
learnt | knew man once as used to
tattoo a cabin-boy all over every v'y'ge

those boys used to use while e was
at work would 'ardly be believed, but
e 'ad to give up trying arter about
fifteen years and take to crochet-work
instead.
Some men won't be tattooed at all,
being proud O. their skins or sich-like,
and for good many years Ginger
Dick. man I've spoke to you of be-
fore, was one O. that sort. Like many
red-'aired men e 'ad very white
skin, which e was very proud of, but
at last, owing to a unfortnit idea O.
making is fortin, e let hisself be
done.
1T come about in this way: Him
and old Sam Small and Peter Russet
ad been paid off from their ship and
was 'aving very Apply, pleasant time
ashore. They was careful men in
way, and they 'ad taken room down
East India Road way, and paid up the
rent for month. 1t came cheaper
than a lodging ouse, besides being
bit more private and respectable,
thing old Sam was always very per-
ticker about.
"They 'ad been ashore about three
weeks when one day old Sam and Pc

'Where've you been?' ses Ginger,
when they returned.
'Bisness,' ses Sam
I've must ave another man in it,
Peter he ses, and, wot's more, e

wasn't. Then Sam spoke up about
tattooing agin, and Ginger said that
every man in the country ought to be

so excited about it that old Sam 'ad to

that very night, before he could pacifv

Ginger was the last one to wake I'D
in the morning, an before e woke he
kept making a moaning noise. His

is chest was so sore e could 'ardlv

eyes and looked up and saw Sam an

Causes Debility.
Here Are Facts Backed Up By
q Strong Guarantee.

Debility is caute1 by catarrh. In Oul
opinion, a person free from Catarrh was
never troubled with debility. Debility can
never be cured by medicine not designed ia
cure Catsrrh. We positively guarantee to cure
Catarrh, and thus cure Debility. In every
case where we fell to effect cure, we will
not charge a cent for the medicine employed
during the trial. Now, surely no one should
hesitate to believe us or to put our claim TO q
practical test under such conditions. We
take all the risk; no one else can lose any
thing by the transaction.
We make these statements and this offer
because we know and have time and again
proved that Rexall Mucu-Tone will cure
Cat rrh. 1t is designed for that one particu-
lar purpose. It is not a cu'e-all prescribed

That Judge TAFT has mistaken the
sentiment of the people Of the South,
and that he could not expect political
preferment there because giving such
preferment is against the principles of
the people Of that section, is the state

Msybrick admitted thai she reciprocaled
