IN A PERILOUS SITUATION
JOHN BECKER'S NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DROWNING
He Clung to the Cliff All Night While
Old Ocean Roared and Tumbled at
His Feet; Saved In Exhausted
Condition.
During all of last "Wednesday
night and a part of Thursday, John
uecKer, a prominent merchant of
Aberdeen, Wash., clung to a narrow
niche of rock in the almost sheer face
of a cliff overlooking the Pacific
above North Beach while the waves
dashed in fury beneath him.
Becker was one of several men
who had been up on their claims in
the Queets country. Just to the north
of the cliff is a long tunnel wprn
under the rocks and this short cut
is usually taken in preference to the
trail. The party had straggled
along the beach, Becker being the
next to the last in lino. When ho
reached the entrance to the tunnel
he noticed that the tide was coming
in but before ho reached the exit the
water was up to his waist and when
he came out on 'the beach the surf
was breaKing heavily along the foot
of the cliffs.
To go back again was impossible.
Realizing his peril, Becker started to
climb the face of the cliff. With his
pocket knife he dug holes for his
hands and feet and finally succeed
ed in getting out of the reach of the
waves.
Above him the face of the cliff tow
ered for several hundred feet while
below the waves dashed in mad fury
and further escape was cut off in
everj' direction.
His clothing was torn, his hands
were cut and bleeding from using
his knife and from contact with the
jagged rocks. Night came on, and
his companions, who had gone on
ahead, started back to find some
trace of Becker. They procured
ropes and ascended to the tops ot
the cliffs and shouted for Becker.
A faint call finally came back.
Every eflort was made to get a
rope to him, but none of sufficient
length could be secured and the men
above were reluctantly compelled to
abandon the attempt to rescue tholr
comrade. All through the long
hours of the night Becker stood on
his narrow ledge ot rock, clinging as
best ho could to the wall to prevent
being blown off.
When the tide ebbed Becker was
able to leave his perilous position in
a very exhausted condition. It will be
some time before Mr. Becker regains
his health, his nervous system hav
ing suffered terribly from the strain
and exposure.

Mercury pom
ONLY SERVE AS A MASK FOR.
CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON
They hide its repulsive form, niul this serpent disease,
stupefied by these drugs, lies dormant until the effects

1 1 11 t
orcaK.s uowu me mas mm uccomcs as 11111 ot lite mm venom as ever.
Mercury and Potash may dry up the sores mid eruptions, but nt the same
time they drive the poison hack into the blood ami system, where it feeds
upon the tender tissues, membrane nnd naves, finally breaking out in
most disgusting sores nnd even destroying the Ilesh and bones.
Mercury nnd Potnsh cannot accomplish n radical nud pennnnent cure.
They have n palliative but nut curative effect upon this treacherous snake
like disease. These drugs produce mercurial Rheumatism, destroy the
teeth nud corrode the membranes of the stomach mid bowels, causing inflam
mation ami dyspepsia, nervousness nnd general derangement of the system.
S. S. S. is a Specific for Contagious Blood Poison, and the only antidote
for thet peculiar virus that spreads so quickly throughout the system,
corrupting the blood nnd infecting every organ and fibre of the body.
b. i. b. destroys the serpent, nnd el 1111 in a tea
every atom of poison from the blood, it makes a
thorough nnd radical cure of the disease, nud at the
same time builds up the general health. S. S. S.
contains no minerals of nnv kind, but is a nurclv
vegetable remedy nnd we offer $1,000 for proof to the contrary.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
Without doubt, one of tho greatest improvements mudo in the heat
ing Hue in the lust ten yenm is tho
Hot Air Bast Furnace, the Perfect"
constructed with nn air hentlng chamber In tho furnace itself. It draws
foul air from the basement, Introduces it into tho furnace at a very high
temperature, which enables it to mix with the gases of the fuel, thus in
suring their perfect combustion. The only furnaeo which notuttlly does
accomplish tills wonderful result, It Is acknowledged, is tho ''Perfect,"
made by tin HiehnrdHon it Hoynton Co., of New York, Chicago and
