European Harvest.

The American tourists were equal in
value to a good harvest and this year
there will be loss to Europe. If the
war continues into the season next
year this loss will be serious, from a
European point of view. 1t is estimat-
ed that the tourists spend a thousand
dollars apiece in their tour Some 20
cheaper, others spend more. This year
there were 100000 in round numbers
accounted for, and they probably spent
more than the average, certainly if
their losses on baggage and extortion-
ate discount of travellers checks are
counted in, for there Is a stack of
trunks, suit cases and satchels at Co.
logne piled ten feet high around the
cathedral, all belonging to Americans
Over 100000 pieces of baggage had to
be abandoned in flight. If the war cuts
out the touring season next year it
should save at least $120, ,00o, 600 for.
home consumption. Americans will
have a chance to see their own coun.
try. If there we're small hotels with
fare as good and prices as reasona-
BILE as are provided in Europe there
would be many more tourists In this
country at all seasons.

Our BiqQest Audience.

Few people have an adequate notion
of the actual extent of the moving pic
ture business in America. Chairman
F. G. Howe of the national board OF
censorship of motion pictures gives
these figures. Sixteen to twenty thou
sand theaters daily entertain from
100000 to 100000 persons, an ag-
gregate of 2,OOO,OoO,OOO to 3,oOo,ooO,-
600 yearly. The capital invested is es-
timated at $15O,OOO,OoO, and the public
spends annually something like $780,
100000 This gigantic business has all
been developed in less than ten years,
and Is still growing with amazing ra-
pidity. Churches and schools are be-
coming we'll represented in it, and the
moral character of the films is stead
ily rising to higher standard.-Chris-
tian Herald.

SOME FAMOUS SIEGEs
INVESTED TOWNS THAT LONG
HELD OUT AGAINST FOE.
That 9f Greatest Duration Was at
Richmond, Which the Confeder-
ates Defended for Four Years
GibraItar's Great Exploit.

The defense of Liege by 10000 Bel
gians against, three German army
corps numbering 1875, 900 will go down
to history as one Of the most brilliant
feats of arms in the annals of war;
says London Tit-Bits.
The Franco Prussian war Of 1901
was remarkable for it's sieges. Baza1ne
held out at Metz against the Germans
for nearly two months, and finally sur
rendered with 5000 officers and 173,-
600 men. For this he had to submit
to court-martial, and was sentenced
to 20 years Imprisonment. Afterward
came the siege of Paris, which lasted
six months Thousands of shells were
rained on the city every day by the
Germans, and no fewer than 10000 OF
the inhabitants succumbed to disease
and hunger.
That lengthy sieges are quite posi-
BILE even in these days of huge guns is
illustrated by Chukri Pasha's gallant
defense of Adrianople last year for l55
days. Then there was the compare
lively recent great siege of Port Ar
thur In the Russo-Japanese war IN
1904-05, which finally capitulated after
being blockaded by Admiral Togo for
210 days. The name of General Stoes-
sci will rank with those Of the great
soldiers of modern times.
In Ottoman and Russian military
history there has never been a siege
like that of Plevna in 1877, when Os-
man Pasha defed the Russians for LA
days, and finally surrendered on De
cember 10, with 10000 men and LOU
guns, owing to provisions and am
munition running short In the same
year Kars, long the bulwark Of the
Ottoman empire in Asia, was stormed
by the Russians after siege OF i've
months.
Twenty-Five years earlier the for
tress had been brilliantly defended for
eight months against the Russians by
the Turks under General Williams,
who had but $4,000 men against $4,000.
Even these sieges, however, are
somewhat Insignificant when com
pared with some others. The long
est siege occurred in the American
Civil war, when the Confederates de-
Tended the town of Richmond for
1885 days, or just over four years.
Sebastopol, in the Crimean war, held
out for II months, while General Cor
don defended Khartum against the
Sudanese for 300 days. The sieges OF
Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking,
in the South African war, lasted 12O,
123 and 264 days. respectively.
There is probably, however, no siege
which Britishers like to read about SO
much as that carried out by France
and Spain in their endeavors to carry
the Rock of Gibraltar, 1779-SG. Alto
gether the siege lasted nearly four
years, and, as the world knows, re-
suited in a complete triumph of Brit.
ish arms in spite of the fact that the
enemy numbered 10000 to 10000 men,
while the defenders could only muster
1000.

Francis X Bushman, Essanay screen
star, has won new laurels as a panto-

prosecuted man, whose chief offense

a robbery planned by his adversary
and later an attempt is made to kill
him, which nearly succeeds.

Most Skin Trouble
Readily Overcome
The Active Principle of a
Famous Remedy Works
Wonders.
-

Many people have marveled the way
S. S. S. overcomes skin troubles. The ex-
PLANTATION is the fact that S. S. S. works
in the blood and the blood is really most
intricate and extraordinary mass of arteries
and veins.
When you come to realize that the skin
and the flesh beneath are composed OF
network of tiny blood vessels you solve the
mystery.
There are wonderful medicinal properties
in S. s. S. that follow the course OF the
blood streams just as naturally as the most
nourishing food elements.
1t is really a remarkable remedy. IL
contains one Ingredient, the active purpose
of which is to stimulate the tissues to the
healthy selection of it's own essential nutrl
ment And the medicinal elements OF TINS
matchless blood purifier are just as essen
tial to well-balanced health as the nutrt
tious elements of the meats, grains, rats
and sugars of our daily food.
Not one drop of minerals or drugs 3 used
in its preparation. Ask for S. $. S. and
Just insist upon having it. And if you de
sire skillful advice and counsel upon any
matter concerning the blood and skin, write
to the Medical Department, The swift
Sneciic Co., 529 Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ga.
Do not allow some jealous clerks elo-
quence over something Just as good as
S. s. S. to fool you with the same old
mineral drugs. Beware OF all substitutes
Insist upon S. S. S.

Surprised the Hobo.

John e. Brennan, the famous Kalem
comedian, played joke upon a hobo,
while "The Winking Zulu" was being
produced, which scared the knight OF
the dusty road out of four years
growth.
The painting had been completed
and Brennan, on his way from the
studio one evening, almost stumbled
across the body of hobo lying in
toxicated. An idea occurred to the
comedian. He impaired it to some OF
the attaches of the studio, with the re-
suit that the tramp was carried into
the building and placed in front of the
Winking Zulu.
Presently the hobo revived. His
eyes wandered about the building
confusedly and rested upon the
painting. 1t winked at him. Star
tied, the tramp sat up. The Zulu
winked again. With a frightened
roar, the man burst through the
door. Brennan vows that the hobo
did the next mile in less than a
minute.

Moving-Picture Mining.

An interesting case of successful
fraud is reported by Spanish news
paper. It appears that group of live
Frenchmen succeeded in selling some
Yankee capitalists non-existent gold
property. Thus are the tables turned!
exclaims the Engineering and Mining
Journal. The ingenious Gauls carried
to Alaska complete moving picture
outfit, with scenery and all, and with
this equipment they photographed the
operations Of their mine in so con-
vincing a manner that they were able
to sell their midnight-sun myth for
real money. Seeing was believing,
not even a Missouri origin would have
helped the goats of this little deal

Indian Dances.

"The athletic sports Of the Indians
have greatly contributed toward their
strong physique and manly bearing"
says Charles Warren Currier, lecturer
of the bureau of Catholic Indian mis-
sions, in an important article in the
September Lippincott's. Wrestling is
Of comparatively recent Introduction.
Dancing is well-known Indian amuse-
ment. Some dances were INDUCED in
for pleasure, while others formed part
Of a ceremonial, or served to cele-
brate an important event. The war
dance was preparation for cam
paign. The sun dance, superstitious
rite, is frequently permitted among
the Arapahoes Of Wyoming"

A TREATMENT THAT HEALS
ITCHING, BURNING SKINS

Don't stand that itching skin humor
one day longer. Go to the nearest
druggist and get jar of resinol oint-
ment (5Oc) and cake of resinol soap
(25c). Battle the eczema patches with
resinol soap and hot water, dry and
apply a little resinol ointment.
It's almost too good to be true. The
torturing, itching and burning stop in
stantly, you no longer have to dig and
scratch, sleep becomes possible, and
healing begins. Soon the ugly, tor
turing eruptions disappear completely
and for good.-Adv. ~
