CURED MAN AND WIFE.
It gives me pleasure to relate

It gives me pleasure to relate my
experience with 8. SIS. Both my
vito and myself have cause to be-
lieve it the greatest Of all blood pur-
Tiers. at one time had an old sore
on my nose which caused me q great
deal Of uneasiness, being afraid it
was malignant. MY wife also had
an ugly old ulcer on her face
which gave her considerable worry.
We knew of no cause for these old
sores 50 concluded they were due to
bad blood. We both used 8. S. s. and
it cured US sound and we'll. This
was some years ago but neither of us
have ever had any signs Of q return
Of tho sore. cheerfu1ly recommend
8. s. 8. as q cure for Old Sores.

Of the world. Tyrus Cobb and Ma

OF LAjoie who believes that he should
have had TIE laurel wreath because

more hits than his Southern rival. The
Cobhfte sets forth that Tyrus scored
moro runs and stole many more
bases; hence he must be the most

Lajoie; no club swinging, posing or

his brown eyes CLINT with battles

loosely grip the Lajoie war club. With
careless, easy stride he approaches

September

The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchard
With fruit are bending down
The gentian's bluest iringes
Are curling in the sun,
In ducky pods the milkweed,
It's hidden silk has spun.
The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook;
The asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook.
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summers best of weather
And autumn's best Of cheer.

WHARTON BARKER,

Mr. Barker. who is a Philadelphia bank

much I'm the public eye. He had testified
the day before at a hearing of the Sen

that a New York banker told him In 1891
that the financial interests would support
President Roosevelt for reelection because
he had made a bargain" with them on
the railroad question. This banker, ''one

act for the pensioning of aged city laborers
II is believed Boston becomes the first city
IN the United States to so provide for its
superannuated employees. For years efforts
have been made 10 obtain some such act.
II was pointed out that many of the old
city laborers. through physical incompe-
tency, had no other choice than to exist
by charity or spend their declining days in
the almshouse. In the administration Of
Mayor Thomas n. Hart. 19oO-'0l, nearly one
thousand city laborers lost their places
