for Children
Children are constantly exposed to all sorts of dis
eases. The air they breathe is filled with germs, sewer
gas and dust from the filthy streets are inhaled into the
lungs and taken into the blood. At the crowded school
rooms and other public places they come in contact
almost daily with, others recovering from or ituthe first
stages of contagious diseases. You cant quarantine
against the balance of the world, and the best'yott can'
do is to keep their blood in good condition, and thus
prevent or at least mitigate the disease. You have
perhaps learned from observation or experience that
healthy, robust children (and this means, of course,
children whose blood is pure) are not nearly so liable to
contract diseases peculiar to them, and when they do it
is generally in a mild form. On the other hand, weak,
emaciated and sickly ones seem to catch every disease
. that comes along. This is because their blood is lack
ing in all the elements necessary to sustain and build
up the body. Poisons of every description accumulate
- in the system, because the polluted and sluggish, blood
is unable to perform its proper functions.
Such children need a blood purifier and tonic to give
strength and vitality to their blood, and S. S. S., being; a
purely vegetable remedy, makes it the safest and best for
the delicate constitutions of children. - 8. S. 8. is not only

THE BAKER'S DOZEN.
Thirteen Reasons Explaining Popularity of
the "Anchor" Clamp.
A great deal is heard now about the
'anchor" .fences that have sprung
into wide popularity of late. It is
claimed that they are the cheapest
and most durable fences on earth,
hence their general adoption. Mi
nute inquiry into details of construct
ion reveals the fact that anchor
clamps hold (rivet tight) the large
wires of which the fence is made, thus
making the fence five times as strong
and durable as any other fence on the
market.
The manufacturers, The Portland
Anchor Fence Co., -742 Nicolai street,
Portland, Or., give a full baker's
dozen reasons why the "anchor"
clamp is so efficient:
1. It is made of the best hoop steel,
therefore is strong and durable.
2. It is simple; can be applied by
any one.
3. It does what other ties pretend
to do makes an immovable anchor.
4. It prevents loose and sagging
wires.
5. It keeps a fence always in repair.
6. It prevents injury to stock. ,
7. It makes a fence that stock can
not break down. ,. - - -:
o. it can be used on smooth or
barbed wire.
. it can oe used for making new
or repairing old fences.
10. It is the only tie yet devised by
which a fence can be made in any
manner desired, or repaired without
rebuilding.
11. It makes the BEST and most
durable fence on the market.
12. IT IS CHEAP.
13. Merit alone can stand the test
of time.

ROBINSON CRUSOE'S ISLAND,
FAMED IN FICTION.
Little Dot In the Pacific That Ia Batter
Known Than Many of the Larger
and Much More Important islands
Bcene of a Boya' Classic
With all of Its solitude, writes Doug
las White In the Overland Monthly. In
regard to Robinson " Crusoe's island,
there Is not a speck of land upon the
surface of the Pacific or any- other
ocean which is better known or more
widely discussed than this same island
of Juan Fernandez. Strangely cnougfi,
it is not the Island's history which has
made its name so well known through
out the English-speaking world, for to
most people there Is little of its history
known; but the fame of Juan Fernan
dez has all arisen from a work of fic
tion which has been since Its first pub
lication more widely read than any
similar work in the English language.
From the passing of Fernandez and
his Spanish colonists the Island was
seldom visited save by some ship which
was pressed for water and- fresh food,
in which case It furnished both in am
ple Quantities, the goats supplying
fresh meat, the fruit trees set by Fer
nandez giving of their products, while
several kinds of wild vegetables grew
in abundance on different parts of the
island. History, however, records but
few of these visits up to the beginning
of the eighteenth century. From a
rough survey of the island, it was set
down as being about twelve miles long
by four miles In its widest portion,
curving in a northwest and southwest
direction, with its highest peak at the
bend of the curve. This peak
was named by Fernandez "El Yunque"
(The Anvil), from its close resemblance
to that mechanical implement.
For considerably over 100 years EI
Yunque's- solitude was broken only by
the coming and going of these few vis
itors, until In 1700 the ship entered
Cumberland Bay which was to give to
Juan Fernandez its possibility of be
coming one of the best known Islands
upon the world's charts. This was the
Cinque Ports galley, under the com
mand of one Capt. Straddling. Now,
this British skipper does not seem to
have been extremely popular with his
inenr for upon this first visit to Fer
nandez more than 40 of his "Jackies"
deserted to the island, preferring the
life on its solitary shores to existence
aboard the galley; Before the ship
sailed, however, all but five of these
deserters changed their opinions and re
turned to the galley's decks. Four
years slipped by and again Straddling's
ship dropped her anchor In' Cumber
land's waters. Of the five men left In
1700 but two remained, the others hav
ing been carried away by a French
ship which called in the meantime.
But this second visit of the Cinque
Ports was to be productive of the great
event In Fernandez's history, for while
in the bay the commander of the gal
ley had an argument with his sailing
master, . one ' Alexander Selkirk, who
demanded that he be given an allow
ance of stores and landed on the isl
and.-; His request was complied with.
and the galley sailed without him. For
four years and four months did Selkirk
maintain his lonely vigil at the top of
the island's mountain range,' scanning
the sea for the sail which might come
to end his dreary life. In 1704 he was
taken off by the Duke, an English priv
ateer, on board of which he returned to
England, bringing with him an exten
sive note book covering his experiences
during these years of solicitude. This
note book was presented by him to the
novelist Defoe, and on it the writer
founded what at once became one of
the most popular fictional works of
that and each succeeding generation.
Of course, Defoe used an author's lati
tude in its construction, but there ex
ists to-day upon Juan Fernandez every
one of the principal landmarks describ
ed in the chapters of Robinson Crusoe.
TO OUTWIT THE JANITOR.
Flat-Dwellera Fear of Osrre Baa De
veloped New Industry.
"All right," said the locksmith, who
keeps a little shop In Amsterdam ave
nue and does odd jobs of no great im
portance in themselves for the resi
dents of the neighborhood, "all right,
sir. I can fix this key to suit you, I
think."
"You see," he explained to a visitor,
according to the New York Herald,
when the customer: had retired, "he
wants me to give him a janitor-proof
key, and I'm Just the boy to do It. I
guess you dont know what a janitor-
proof key is, because I know you live
in a house. If you lived in a flat you'd
know. '. ;
"When a man moves Into a new apart
mentthat is, an apartment that is new
to him the first thing he begins to
worry about is the key proposition. I'll
take my oath that New York people are
the most suspicious set of citizens that
ever saw In all my life. v Why,; they
don't trust their relatives. After the
man of the flat gets his string of two or
three keys from the janitor he begins
to let his suspicion loose. -
'He thinks, of course, that the janitor
is predatory by nature. Maybe he Is
right, but I believe the law holds all
persons innocent until they are proved
guilty, and It would be a pretty hard
thing to do to prove a janitor guilty.
Anyway, the man of the flat gets ner
vous, tte aas received so many keys.
What is to prevent the janitor from
having kept a duplicate key. of the
apartment? ' Nothing at all. It would
be the easiest thing in the world for the
janitor to hold out, turning over all the
keys but one and making use of that
to enter the flat whenever he saw a
good opportunity in the absence of the
family.
"That's the way the householder fig
ures the case out to himself. Then he
comes around to some locksmith in the
neighborhood, ana gives one excuse
after another to account for his wish
to have the lock changed' on his front
door. It doesn't make any difference
to a locksmith what the reason is, so
long as he gets paid for the work he
does, but the 'flatters' seem to think it
necessary to spin him a fairy yarn,
Anyway, the matter ends by the lock

so that the key that belongs to It won't
work, and then altering the key so that
It will fit the revised lock. . .
"Fop this, the charge is very slight.
There is only a few m mutes' work to
the job, and a locksmith hasn't the
heart to make an overcharge, you know.
Now, this Is much cheaper than having
the old lock taken off and a new one
put on, for then new keys would have
to be made, and, good keys cost consid
erable, yovi know. By simply scraping
a piece off the lock at a certain point
and scraping a corresponding piece off
the, key, the 'flatter" gets practically a
new protection, and the janitor doesn't
stand a chance of paying him a visit
without ringing the bell and being regu
larly admitted." '
The End of the Town.
There was nothing about htm to indi
cate the crank. He was neatly but
not fashionably dressed, and his good-
natured countenance was of corpulent
order, says the New York Mail and Ex
press. He glanced reflectively out of
the rear window of a Third avenue car
at the tall buildings along Park Row
and Broadway, and for a moment look
ed serious. '
"Too much weight," he said to a fel
low passenger beside him, nodding his
head in the direction of the buildings.
"Too much weight entirely. People
don't seem to realize that the lower
portion of this city is only a crust of
rock, with water of great depth be
neath it. They keep putting up build
ing after building of .great height and
weight, and some day there's going to
be the greatest catastrophe of the ages.
The whole blooming lower part of the
city, or a good portion of it, will cave
in under the enormous strain put upon
it by these sky-scrapers, and the loss
of life and property will be incalcula
ble: "
Just think of the weight that crust
has to sustain. Millions of tons of iron
arriving here every year to be used for
girders and rafters. Millions of tons
of brick and mortar are used in con
structing the buildings, to say nothing
of the marble, granite and other kinds
of stone, and all piled upon that frail
crust of. rock,' which must give way
some day under the strain.
"Then, there's the bridge, too. It
can't last forever. ' Some day it is go
ing to break down under the additional
strain put upon it by the trolley and
steam cars now running to Brooklyn.
Imagine the scene at a rush hour some
night; trolley cars on both sides laden
with people; the promenade crowded
and trucks in a steady stream. Sud
denly one of the cables gives way. The
other, unable to stand the strain alone,
also parts, and people, cars and trucks
are dumped into the river like a shovel
of coal into a bucket" Oh, It's bound
to come, I tell you." '
"Princo Georgie."
The Duke of Cornwall is devotedly
loved in loyal Bermuda, where as a
growing boy he once passed a happy
winter. One of his favorite comrades
there was a little - girl whose great
grandfather had fought side, by side
with Wolfe upon the Plains bf Abra
ham. She used to push her little rocking-chair
close beside that of the prince,
and laboriously time her small rockers
with those of his larger chair.
We rock together, Prince Georgie,"
she used to chatter, "always together,"
thrusting difference of rank into that
limbo reserved for sophisticated aduits.
Another favorite of the prince was a
young American girl who discovered
him in the admiral's hallway one day,
tugging at his gloves. -
I hate to wear them," he admitted,
as he looked at her bare hands: "only
I promised grandmother that I would.'
A letter from Queen Victoria gave ihe
royal boy much pleasure, but on being
asked if he would sell it for two pounds,
he eagerly accepted the offer. Where-
-upon he answered the letter with com
mendable promptness, urging Ms "dear
grandmother please to write again."
The death of his older brother, some
years later, and the recent death of the
queen materially changed the career
of the youth to whom the American
girl said "you, and he said you to me."
On his return from the tour of the Brit
ish colonies he will receive the honored
title of the Prince of Wales, with Its
pregnant motto, "Ich dien" I serve.
Why Dinah Wept.
Not long ago a lieutenant in the navy
was ordered away on a three years'
cruise. The order had been dreaded for
weeks, and when it came the young
wife, who was to be left in a Brooklyn
flat with a baby and a colored servant,
was in despair. '
She controlled her sorrow very well,
however, until the actual moment of
parting came, and then she wept as
though. her heart would break, says the
New York Herald. The cruiser was to
leave the navy yard early next morn
ing, and the lieutenant had gone to re
port for duty.
In the midst of her lamentations the
young wife heard a sniffling and sob
bing in - the -dining-room, and' upon
glancing tnrougn tne floor she saw
Dinah, the colored maid, rocking her
body to and fro in a chair and weeping
violently. -
"Why, B-D-DInah, what's the nunat-
ter?" cried the mistress. "You seem to
t-t-take Mr. Blank's departure as much
to heart as I do." r -
" 'Deed I doesn't! Mis Blank 'deed
aoesn t!" sobbed uman. "What am
bodderin' dis chile am the fac' dat
culled gemman friend o mine am
gwlne sail hisse'f on dat same old
cruisah!" ; ;
Duke of Norfolk's Clothes.
The Duke of Norfolk's indifference
to the niceties of dress has led to many
mistakes, which, as a man of humor.
he always enjoys. During his long term
of service on the London County Coun
cil he was often mistaken for a labor
member, one reason being because be
always sat on the same group of seats
as the labor men. Not so long ago he
put some sovereigns in the plate at the
door on leaving the Roman Catholic
Church off Uncoln's-Inn-flelds. - The
doorkeeper, feeling that the plainly
dressed man must have made a mis
take, hurried after him to explain. The
departing visitor smiled quietly as he
replied: "We'll let the mistake pans
this time." London Chronicle.
1 STARTLING STORt
TOLD
BY A KANSAS
NEWS AGENT.
CITY
In an Interview Be Relates Bow Be Ac
complished What Many Other
Bave Felled to Ire.
Jack Williams, of No! 401 Dela
ware street, says the Kansas City.
Mo., Journal, is well known as an en
terprising news agent and a thorough
ly reliable man. He had been a suf
ferer from kidney trouble and endured
much pain from it until recently,
when he tried Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People and with such
success that within a short time he
was entirely and permanently cured.
To a reporter he said :
"For two years ; I had pains in the
back constantly, causing me serious
inconvenience. But I did not at
tempt to do anything for my com
plaint until the latter part of last
winter, when I saw an advertisement
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People and decided to see what
they would do for me. I was relieved
within one week after I began taking
them ; the pains disappeared and so
complete was the cure that I have
not found it necessary to take further
treatment nor have I been troubled
at all by the disease since."
Kidney complaint is an insiduous
disease. First come almost unnoticed
pains in the back and some slight in
convenience.: The pains grow gradu
ally worse and the inconvenience
greater till finally, if not given medi
cal treatment, the person suffers awful
torture and becomes unfit to follow
his ordinary occupation. , Blood pois
oning sets in, the constitution is
wrecked and death often results.
Mr. William stook the one unfailing
remedy and was readily cured within
a few weeks. His statement was
sworn to before Lionel Moise, a no
tary public, and the facts above will
bear the most searching investigation.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People will not only effect a cure in
cases similar to the one above, but,
acting directly upon the blood and
nerves, are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, par
tial paralysis, St, Vitus' dance, sci
atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, after effects of the grip,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sal
