Like many another g ! thing, tin" mailable klsi v;i discovered by aocideut nt Irani' thai la what the Inventresa scys. The: met In nl of the ilisi'tn. iy tills: It happened one day that she wished to write n letter to "him." It wns n chilly day and a blustery she says and to jimt eel lior carmine Hps from the salute of the winds ! reached for u little Imx of H.'ilvc upon her dreasii r In- le mid therewith liberally anointed her lips. Ami In that salve there was a consider able percentage of rouge. The lrttor having been finished, it wns adorned nt the f "'t with the conventional brace of inky rroswes. Now, ulic hadn't Men him for long time, and tin' 'last let ter he wrote was really a nice one, so that it was understand able that, the erosses having been made and blotted she should press her lips just once to t lie letter. The rouge in the salve did tl' rest. It was a little greasy, perhaps, but the unintentional result was a pnrfect picture of a pair of pursed lips. The Inventress wim so! pleased that she tried it again, and the second picture wns better than the first. When the pictures reached their destination It did not need the inscrip tion, "these are genuine," to tell the recipient what to do with them. They spoke for themselvpA. No patent upon the process has yet been applied for, but a nllglit improvement in the original method has been made. It is now the fashion to slightly dampen the paper and to dust with dry powder the Hps of the sender. It works just us well' aud the kisses don't "run." After the recant fighting north of Manila the American soldiers found the lull that followed and the rest they were accorded very enjoynbie. The Kansas troops are occupying houses in Ban Fernando, and a correspondent snys that for the first time since the begin ning of the campaign, February last, the men can keep dry when It rains. It must be remembered that only a small percentage of the troops had blankets and tents after the second week of the advance. It Is a happy lot of soldiers now lounging In the shadows of the buta and trees. The other day "Dea con," who is a large Kansan with a fund of humor, rapped at the captain's door. "Come In!" shouted the captain. "I Jest wanted to hear how It 'ud sound, captain," said the big soldier, with a grin, ns he bowed himself Into the pres ence of his superior officer, "It's been a long time since I knocked at any body's door." A Ness City (Kan.) man had nn orig inal way of bequeathing his effects to bis heirs. He requested that all meet at his house nt a given time after his death and open the safe in which he kept his valuables, which they were to divide equally. To each of the heirs was told a part of the combination, and accordingly the nofe could not be opened till they were all there. The heirs met at the appointed time. The Combination failed to work, and a me- chanlc was called, who opened the safe. Four thousand live hundred dollars vtns found In the safe. The heirs are happy. "There is something," writes n war rior from Manila, "v hich has been both ering me for a long time. Will you please allow enough space in your heart-to-heart talks to answer one ques tion; Owing to the fact that 1 live in i the Philippines I am known :s n Fil ipino. If I were to move to Philadelphia would I become a Filidelflun?" Up to the day of his first, entering1 school Booker T. Washington's name was Hooker Taliaferro. Then the teach- , er said that aJl the colored boys of the section had three or four names. "Well," said the new pupil, "put mc down as Washington." He has added honor to the name. A man at Bedding Cal., has just se cured a divorce by telephone, his wife having obligingly over the telephone j wire admitted service of the summons, waived time and formally agreed to the proceedings. If salt revives drowned animal life, as nn English man thinks he has dis covered, the man who falls into the ocean ought to be easily restored, es pecially if he happens to be an old salt himself. The New York woman w' who Cl tBn TeWua cut her husband's throat to preven snor- ing has at least placed an eifi isl cure UNCLE SAM'S I JlIArn. The Idea that Tncle Sam Is at pres ent landless old fellow hns generally tn. possession of the people through out the country. This, however. Is a great mistake. He still haa land enough to give each one of his 73, 000.000 children a nice little home stead of eight acres each and still have a ranch of over 16,000.000 acres left. In other words, your dear old uncle still owns something over 600.000,000 acres, distributed as follows through out the various states and territories: Alabama, 532,339 acres; Arizona, 54, 400211 acres; Arkansas, 3.922,042arres; California, 43.841.044 acres: Colorado, 4,037.204 acres; Florida, 1.797.662 acres; Idaho, 45,962,855 acres; Kansas, 1,046, 089 Hires; Louisiana, 845.020 acres; MlrhiRsn, 522,431 acres; Minnesota, 6. 240,049 acres; Mississippi. 41,441.220 acrea; Missouri, 497,764 acres; Mon tana. 71.432.917 acres; Nebraska. 10 6C9.253 acres; Nevada, 61.578.586 acres; New Mexico, 56.983.047 acres; North Dakota, 21,385,293 acres; Oklahoma, 8, Ui5,2oS acres; Oregon, 35.892.318 acres; South Dakota, 13.250,718 acres; Utah, 44,207,270 acres!

A 1 I'm t one-half this vast .".mount of land lies, i; will t;e seen, In Alaska, : ad i' is very certain that this will never be available for homestead pur poses, but for rcI.-iinK purposes Its value in cold com may prove to be even greater than though it wen1 arable. The larger part of the balance lies in fertile and productive states, and Is still subject to homestead laws. Those Who want homes should avail themselves of the more than liberal homestead laws rf the United states. This Is the place for I ho surplus labor. Min's Best Friend. The horse, the most useful and high ly prized of all our domestic animals, deserves our bes( care and considera tion, That Invaluable boon of suffering mankind, the H. II. H. Medicine was first prepared for use on the horse by its Inventor, D. Podge Tomltnson, 4oo North Third street, Philadelphia, Pa, He was soon convinced that he had dis covered the best remedy hnown for the external treatment of sprains, swell ings, sore joints, thrush, swollen ten dons, lumps and enlargements of any kind in the horse. He then experiment ed upon himself and his ovn family with the same brilliant success. He found t hat rheumatism, neuralgia, headache, sprains and other mysteri ous aches and pains vanish as if by magic after a few vigorous rubbings and massage with the celebrated II. H. H. Medicines. As Inferior preparations afford a better profit to the dealer, worthless substitutes are sometimes sold. Look for signature anil portrait of the inventor on the wrapper. They Will and They Won't. "I'll tell you what a woman will and will not do in my line of business," said the man who was selling clocks .ind rugs on the weekly installment plan. "You enn always figure as a starter that she's going to haggle about the price. If I'd offer one of these $8 clocks for $2.50, the average woman would want something off. As soon as the weekly payments begin she'll make a neighborhood hunt for plugged coins and smooth pieces and work them off on the collector. She'll also stand him off for a day or two every payday, and even when the money Is ready she'll hang to It to the last. "That's what you ran figure on 10 times out of 20, but there's a big offset. It's rare that women ever skip out and take your property nlong. They could do It in scores of eases, but their con science forbids. I've had 50 cases where families moved, but after a little the wife would send the new address. I lost a family once after they had paid 50 cents on an $8 (lock. They shipped their poods by rail and wont off west. I got a blessing from headquarters be cause of their skip, but somehow I felt that It would be all right In the end. So it was. After seven months had passed we got a letter from North Dakota con taining a money order for the balance due, and the woman explained that she'd have sent It sooner, but that her husband had died and hor oldest boy been sent to jail. I sold a rug last year to a family that moved next day and a dozen creditors tried in vain to trace them. After a week or so the wife ran after me on the street to tell me whore to call, and added: 'It was the old man's doings. He took a skip to beat the grocer, butcher, baker and drug store, but If 1 didn't pay for that beaut ful rus I could not say my prayers at night.' " The Domestic Cat. The prominent attention lately be stowed upon the domestic cat hy fash ionable society, and the great success of several cat shows, have induced Mr. John E, Dlehl, the well known author ity in domestic animals, to prepare a handy little volume under the above title, it carefully describes the different breeds and varieties, and states how to keep rare cats: how to recognize their various diseases and how to treat them. The publishers' price for the book is 50 cents, but the Associated Fanciers' (00 N. 3d street, Philadelphia, Pa., will mail a copy of it on receipt of 25 cents to any subscriber of this paper. Where Early Planting Is Desirable. "I tell a well meaning, but perhnps not yet perfectly persistent young friend, who asks me about It," said Mr. Btaybolt, "that there is no such thing as an incubator that will hatch out eagles from dollars while you wait; that the only way, Indeed, In which a money crop can be raised is by the most careful and constant cul tivation. And 1 venture to remind him. he being young and with the world yet before him, that this Is a crop in which it is desirable to begin planting early, in order to produce the best results." The crops harvested nt Chlcora, S. C, this year were most bountiful. High prtcei were NallSSd for the large crops of midwinter fruits und vegetables. In many cases tho crops were sold from 20 to SO per cent mure than their estimated value. With such returns to our settlers It is very natural to suppose that there are others who would like to locate there, especially as we are selling farms ejs the instalment plan.

This Fearful Disease. Fczema which Is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local appli cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself, the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced through the skin ; the only way to reaeh the disease, therefore, is through the blood. Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixersrille, Ind., writes: "I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me -constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and began to spread and grow worse. For the past Ave or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have been treated by BOOM of the best physicians nnd have taken many biod medloines, all in vain. With little faith 1 'ft I Lega;i to take S. S. 8., and it apparently made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing 8. ri. 8., the sore healed up entirely, the skin became clear snd smooth, and I was cured perfectly." Eczema is nn obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is only a tonic. Swift's Specific S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they oan not reach. It goes to the bottom to the Ofiusn of the disease and will cure the worst case of Eczema, no matte - what n liar treatment hns failed. It is the only bloixl remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury or any other mineral, and never fails to cure Eczema, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison. Cancer, Tetter, Rheamattsm, Open tJorea, Ulcers, BoiU, etc. Insist upon S. S. 8. ; nothing can take its place.
