SORES AMD
ULCERS
Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood is in poor condition is
sluggish, weak and unable to throw oS
the poisons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should it heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and all impurities eliminated from the sys
tem. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
up the general health and removing from

teTaner". UPON THE SYSTEM
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble. S. S. S. does, and no matter
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your constitution has broken
down, it will bring relief when nothing
else can. It supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary to heal the sore and nourish
the debilitated, diseased body.
Mr. J. B. Talbert, Iock Box 145, Winona. Miss.,
says : " Six years ago my lea from the knee to
the foot was one solid sore. Several physicians
treated me and I made two trips to Hot springs,
but found no relief. I wss induced to try 8. S. S ,

MILLIONAIRES IN ALL LANDS.
Kvcry Nation lias Men Anions Its
Citizens with Immense Wealth
Geniiauy is not generally regarded as
a laud of rich men, and yet the goldeu
book should have a very large section,
devoted to Germany and Austria-Hungary.
It is true that most of the names
would have prince before them, but,
bein of royal blood, does uot alter the
fact of wealth. Without counting the
private properties of the sovereigns,
who ought not to be included, there are
a dozen or so Teutonic highuesses
whose wealth, not merely in lauds but
In money, is enormous. For instance,
that of the father of the present Prince
of Bulgaria was counted by many mil
liou.s .sterling. Many of the dethroned
monarchs again are very rich, for roi
en e.ii has ceased to be a synonym for
poyerty. .No one, of course, knows the
exact wealth of the Orleans family, but
it ,s very great, and even the Bourbons
are well off. lou Carlos, in spite of
the money he has spent on Spanish and
other adventures, is a millionaire.
The Russian empire would also make
a good show, for, although the great
landed proprietors have suffered of late
years, many of the merchants and
financiers have done exceedingly well.
If rumor is to be trusjed, some of the.
officials are also very rich. Fabulous
sums are attributed to one In particu
lar. The millionaires of Africa would,
we suppose, be confined to Kiuiberley
and the Baud, but possibly there are
some large fortunes iu Cairo among the
Levantine colony. Asia will probably
make a very respectable show iu the
golden book. It is true that in the
Turkish and Persian empires million
aires are never long lived, and this fact
tends to their nonexistence, but for all
that, some of the Smyrna Greeks and
Damascus Jews ought to be able to
gain admission. India, on the other
hand, if the native princes who do uot
IKissess sovereign rignts are counted,
as they must be, contains a great nutn-j
her of extremely rich men. Not onlyi
are there merchants iu the great cities
who are worth several millions in per
sonal property, but there are also four
or live great Zemludars who have in
comes which represent the interest on
two or three millions sterling. The re
action against thinking of India as a
place of wealth has in fact been carried'
too far, and we are apt to forget that
princely fortunes are still made and
kept there.
The truth about the Chinese fortunes
would be most curious if it could be dls
covered. Unfortunately, it is the laud
of the cryptomilliouaires, of the men,
who live in little low houses and hoard
gold ingots In the shape of Naples bis
ctiits. It is known, however, that the
Empress Dowager is among the richest
if not the richest, person alive; while
I.i Hung Chang, unless he has lately
been plundered, which is unlikely, must
aldb have vast wealth. Outside China
the Chinese are often very rich, and
dare to show their wealth. For exam
ple, It is always said, and so far as
known, with truth, that several of the
Chinese, merchants df Slngapor are men
of enormous riches. With the Ameri
can millionaire it is hardly necessary
to deal. What place Is not full of the
report of his dollars? It should, how
ever, be noted that, though one or two
of the American fortunes are beyond
the dreams of avarice, the number of
'warm men" is, In proportion to popu
lation, not so great as it is here. There
are, that is, not so many great, but far-
more small, millionaires in England.
The man who reaches $5,000,000 Is apt
either to lose it all again, or else to turn
it into $50,000,000 or $100,000,000.
Spanish South America is not, as a
rule, regarded as a place of rich men,
yet, as a matter of fact. Chili, Mexico.
Brazil and the Argentine Republic have
all within the last thirty years pro
duced fortunes on the great scale, and
not very long ago the greatest heiress
in the world was said to be the only
daughter of a South American mil
lionaire. London Chronicle.
An Even Exchange.
A good Irish story will bear consider
able retelling. Such, evidently, is the
view of Cornhill Magazine, from which
the following example is taken:
Chief Baron O'Grady was once trying
a case In an assize town where the
courthouse abutted on the green. A fall
was In progress, and just outside the
court a number of asses were tethered.
As counsel was addressing the court
one of these began to bray.
Instantly the chief baron stopped the
speaker. "Wait a moment, Mr. Bushe,"
he said. "I can't hear two at once."
The court roared, and the advocate
grew red. But presently, when it came
to summing up, the judge was in full
swing when another ass struck In,
whether by the counsel's contrivance
or not, who shall say? Anyhow, up
jumped Mr. Bushe, with his hand to his
ear, and said:
"Would your lordship speak a little
louder? There's such an echo in the
court." "
Dropping a Letter.
An enterprising Sixth street restau
rant proprietor hung out a large black
board sign the other day, with the fol
lowing announcement: "You can't beat
our 15-cent dinners." This sign prov
ed to be a good drawing card until a
young man of humorous turn of mind
came along. The latter, seeing the
sign, stopped, and, after scrutinizing
it closely, smiled one of those smiles
which bode no one any good. He wait
ed until none of the employes were
watching, and taking out his handker
chief, he erased the letter "b" from the
word beat. The transformation was
complete, and it was not until a crowd
had collected that the proprietor of the
restaurant discovered why there was
a larger crowd outside than Inside.

CHINESE BOY AT HOME,
Lon a Hours in School and Sparta of
the Vacation.
Among the representatives of the ce
lestial kingdom in this city are Lee
Way and his cousin, Ah Foon. They
are bright and intelligent, and are inter
esting characters. Of their earlier life
in China they give very lucid accounts
Lee Way has been In the United
States about twenty years, first locat
ing In New York City. In. his native
country he has a wife and son, and he
has made frequent visits to them since
he first came to America. Lee received
instruction in English before he crossed
the Pacific, and he also attended school
in New York. Both he aud his cousin
receive weekly instructions at the
hands of teachers of the Baptist Suu
day school, and Lee especially has be
come proficient in his use of the Eug-
ish language.
Ah Foon has been lu America only a
few years, and has resided in Ogdens
burg about a year. He is married, and
his wife was left behind in his native
land. Before coming to America Ah
Foon was in school until he was 13,
with English tutors, but his knowledge
of the language is meager. Until a few-
years ago there were no woman teach
ers in all China. Now there are many,
and students are received until past the
age of 35. There are many native
teachers, as well as the missionaries.
who come from foreign lands. The
scholars sit on high stools at desks
and study aloud. At 10 aud 12 years the
Chinese scholars can read and write
very well. Every lesson is learned by
rote. The teacher always retains pos
session of a punishing stick, and occa
sionally lazy or tardy scholars receive
a few sound raps with it.
The scholars are at school early in the
morning, and it is uot uncommon for
boys to study ten hours a day. That
would seem a long time for American
boys to devote to study in a single day,
but, acordlng to Ah Foon, the juvenile
Chinaman never grumbles at the long
hours, and lie and bis companions
climb upon their stools and sing out
their lessons all at the same time as
loudly as they can. Vacation is always
during the rice harvesting season. Then
the boys fly kites and enjoy many other
pastimes which are similar to those
seen In America, such as walking 011
stilts, playitig hide aud seek, blind
man's buff and leapfrog.
"We have great fun fighting beetles,
too." said Ah Foon. "In China there
are no bad boys like here. All boys are
respectful to all older than themselves.
They do not think it fun to hurt other
people's feelings. One thing I have
seen here Is a very old trick in China.
You see boys place a package on the
sidewalk, and when someone stoops to
pick it up it Is gone, for there is a string
tied to it. and a little boy at the other
end of the string." Ogdensburg Jour

meal times. One morning he arrived
before Miss Wheatcake's breakfast was
served. He feared that he was too late
for the meal, but, being too polite to
inquire, merely looked about with anx
ious stealth for some signs of prepara
tion. Miss Wheatcake saw his pertur
bation, but said nothing to relieve it.
Presently Tommy remarked: "Ain't
it fnnny, Miss Wheatcake, I'm awfully
hungry?" Miss Wheatcake made no
comment and he wiggled about uneasi
ly in his chair for a few moments, then
with a timidly ingratiating look he
said: "Seems to me I smell eggs boil
ing. Do I?"
Don't Want Pure Water.
Speaking of the health of the British
army in South Africa, the London
Lancet says that "one of the greatest
difficulties which confront the meoical
officers is to induce them to drink
water which has been rendered as pure
as possible by boiling or filtering. Af
ter a long march the average soldier
will run any risk to obtain a draught
of water, however bad."
Not all the heroism in this world is
seen on the battlefield and on the
stage. At a big fire in Chicago, at
which the father and his five children
were penned up like rats in a trap to
die, the members of engine company
No. 3, seeing that there was no time to
wait for a hook and ladder truck,
formed a ladder of their bodies, by
standiing one npon the shoulders of
another, and so on up to 85 feet, and
all of the stricken people were
down to safety.

dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness or
insomnia. Be sure you get tiie genuine.
