You have seen the man who rubs his hands nil tlio time or else cracks his knnckleR. Another man will tnjj at his mustache, while in deep thought. It is CjOmmon for business men to draw pietureK or make elaborate scrolls r.nd scrawls on their desk pads while they nre discussing some important proposition. It may be remembered that the directors of the world's fair left their hall one day after deciding upon n policy which involved the ex penditure of several millions of dollars. A man went into the hall just after their departure mid found the lonp table cov ered with rude drawings of men, cats, dogs and houses, to say nothing of elaborate Ppeneerian exercise-, wagon wheels and the like. The great men had relieved the tension of the business by making these childish figures. There is one Chicago millionaire who tears paper into small bits while he is talking to a caller. Another whittles incessantly. One of hi employes is specially directed to keep him supplied with pine sticks of straight grain. An ollice lawyer of considerable repu tation stretches a small rubber band be- 9 WEAKINO OCT THE NliWSI'AI'KK tween Ills left Uimiib ntul second flnf,'r, iiikI, looking nt it us if fascinated, strums on it with his rii,'lit forclinjer w hile he is dictating to a t-lcnogrnplicr. lie cannot get to work until he lias his rubber Wild and begins to play on it. Actors or public speakers are especial ly given to these "nervous" habits. There is n criminal lawyer in Chicago who cunnotntldrcRsa jury unless he has a folded newspaper in his right hand. ITc grips this paper, U-nds it between his hands and smites his left palm with IU When he fiuishes his Fpce.h the newspaper is a rumpled wreck. Some of the most peculinr instances of this kind of habit arc found on the stage. Charley Case, the variety actor who docs a very funny monologue, car ries a small piece of cloth in his hands every time he goes on the stage. He pulls at this bit of cloth and turns it over and over every second of the time while he is talking or singing. lie could not do his specialty unless he had some thing to twist between his fingers, for ho has a natural hesitancy of speech. It la related of John J. Burke, who used to-be the comedian of the Ameri can Extravaganza company at the Chi cago opera house, that he could not talk, except when he could turn a button with his fingers. Off the stage he stuttered so badly that he could hardly make himself un derstood. Ia fact, it was a matter of constant wonder, among those who met him off the stage, that he could master his Infirmity when he was in front of the footlights. Many persons who had seen him on the stage and afterward met him In his street clothes end lis tened to his fearful and picturesque stammering would not believe that he was the same John J. Burke at all. ' Ia fact, it is related that Burks went to1 the Columbia theater one night to step ( In and see a part of he performance, and he had some trouble in convincing the man "on the door" that he was a professional. . Tm J J Joh Joh Joh John B kBuhB Bur Bur Burke," he be gan. . Tbe actor asked the ticket man. "Y y yuh y y yuh yes." "Where are you playing r.ow7" "Th Th Th Thuh Th Th The pi Ch-Choh-Ohlo-Chle-Chlc-Chi-caChicaChCh Chicago Op Op Op Op Op " "All right, said the doortender. "Go in; I don't want you to miss the last act." Although Burke's stammering off the stage was something wonderful and incurable, he would manage by hard re hearsing and the manful twisting- of the button to speak his lines on the stage in such a way ns to give no sug gestion of his nfltlction. But one even ing, Just as he was about to receive the cue for his entrance to the stage, a mis chievous aiitor in the company skipped up to him and cut off the button. Burke stepped out on the stage, felt for his button, and couldn't find it. He ntcod silent and helpless. The cue for his speech was repeated. He tried to speak his lines, but with fright and tho dismay over the loss of that button, he. stuttered until no one could understand a word he said. The audience thought it was funny, and laughed, but the comedian was in ngony until he could pet off the stage to have another button sewed on. Speaking of pet sons who stammer, Henry Cluy Curlcton, the dramatist, was a m'vspner man in Chicago 11 fjood many years ago, and incidentally he stammered very badly. One day nti ac quaintance r.sked him: "Mr. Cnrlcton, did you always stammer?" Without going into the phonetics of stammering, Mr. ('ai'leton's reply was: "Oh. no; not always." "When did you begin to stammer?" "When 1 began to talk." To return to the eccentric habits of public speakers. The audience at a recent meeting i:i the interests of labor organization had a diverting exhibition. The orator of the evening was n man of curliest methods. When lie addressed n house he. "threw his whole soul" into his remarks, lie teetered back and forth on his heels and toes, bent his legs Into neute angles, shook his clenched (1st at his auditors and pervpired man fully, lie combined mental effort with a full set of gi inmisium exercises. Aiul he was n great speaker almost as great ns Lieut, 'low Haggard, of whom it has been said: "On n clear day he can be heard n mile." The labor orator had spoken but n few moments when he wiut trembling, pant ing nnd perspiring. He put his right, hand Into n side pocket of his coat nnd pulhd out a handkerchief, with which he mopped his moist countenance. Then he ihifted his handkerchief to his left hand, pointed his right- forefinger nt the listening assemblage anil re sumed his speech. A few minutes later lie put his right Kind Into his jrx'ket and brnu.-ht. out another handkerchief, wiped Ins fore head with it and passed it Into his left, hand. When lie produced the third handker chief and went through the same per formance, by this time having three handkerchiefs clutched in Ms left hand, a snicker run through the audience. The speaker paused and frowned. His hearers Mraightened their faces nnd the speech was rir.umcd. There was another s':M;er when the fourth handkerchief was dug out from n hip pocket and a few persons laughed aloud when the oral or began a rambling search for a fifth. He felt In one pocket after another, and all the time he had four handkerchiefs rolled into a ball in Ids left hand. Finally a committeeman on the stare Ftepped up to him and called his e, t lec tion to the four handkerchiefs in his left hand. Tln orator looked at them blankly and the spectators shouted with 1 aught er. Chicago Kecord. Inipurmnt Point.

Scrofula Is a deep-seated blood disease which all the mineral mixtures in the world cannot cure. S.S.S. (guaranteed purely vegetable ) is a real blood remedy for blood diseases and has no equal. Mrs. Y. T. Buck, of Dclaney, Ark., had Scrofula for twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the doctors who could not relieve her. A specialist said he could cure her, but he filled her with arsenic and potash which almost ruined her constitution. She then took nearly every so-called blood medicine and drank them by the wholesale, but they did not reach ,hcr trouble. Some one advised her to try S.S.S. and she verv soon found that she bad a real blood remedy at last. She says: "After Ink ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I nm perfectly well, my skiii is clear and healthy and I would not he in my former condition for two thousand dollars. Instead of drying up the poison in mv system, like tho potash aud arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out through the skin, aud I was perma nently rid of it." A Real Blood Remedy S.S.S. never fails to cure Scrofula, F.czenia, Rheumatism Contagious Blood Poison, or any disorder of the blood. Do not rely upon n simple tonic to cure a deep-sealed blood disease, but take a real blood remedy. Our books free upon appli cation.
