S. S. S. strengthens and enriches the thin acid blood, and, as it circu

are dislodged and washed out of the muscles and joints, and the sufferer
about their case will receive valuable aid and helpful advice from our

Rheumatism does not come and go with winter
time always? in fact some suffer more during- the
Spring and Summer than at any other season. When
the blood is charged with Uric Acid, Alkali and other
irritating poisons, then the system is in the right
condition for Rheumatism to develop, and an attack
is liable to come at any time, Winter or Summer.
Rheumatism, because it attacks different parts of
the body, and is sudden or slow in its action, is given
various names sujch as acute and chronic, muscular,

A MINISTER'S SNAKE STORY.
Few Laymen Could Produce a Better
Article in That Liue.
Dr.'Watkins, the veteran missionary,
who has just returned from a four
months' evangelical trip through the
outlying States, tells a strange story
of a wonderful snake which' be killed
in an old, abandoned shaft of ar mine
down in the State of Guerrero:
VMy attention was attracted one
day." says Mr. Watkins, "by the hor
rified cries of an Indian miner who
came running toward me, his face
ghastly with fright and the perspira
tion dripping like raindrops from his
brow. The jinan rushed up and cast
himself at my feet, " where he lay
trembling and gasping. As soon as he
was able to get his breath he told me
that he had been seized by a horrible
monster, which had suddenly sprung
upon him from one of the hidden re
cesses of the mine, and that be had
nariowly escaped being drawn down
In its embrace. .
"My curiosity was aroused and I pro
ceeded to the mouth of the shaft wlih
the man as soon as I could induce him
to return. We looked down. but. in the
dease obscurity eould see nothing.
Drawing my revel vor. I made the man
go down into the shaft a way, assur
ing him that no harm would befall
him. as I would follow elose with my
eocked revolver ready for use.
"The miner did as I commanded and
had gone down for a number of feet,
when suddenly from the dense black
ness I saw a huge and tndiscribably
hideous head with wide open mouth
shoot up. The jaws of the creature
were wide open, showing Its sharp
fanged teeth, its mouth looking large
enough easily to take a man down
at one gulp. -
' "The miner screamed with terror
and I feared he would lose his hold
and fall, but he clung desperately to
the ladder-while I thrust the barrel
of the revolver full into the creature's
mouth and fired. With a tremendous
hiss it dropped its head, and then we
saw It was a huge serpent. like unto
nothing I had ever beard of before.
"As its struggling body came Into
my view I fired again, and the snake,
slipping from- the ledge on which It
had stretched Itself, fell with a
squashy thud - to the bottom of the
shaft, where we could hear it thrash
ing about in struggles which momen
tarily grew weaker and finally ceased
altogether. Then we, went below,
fastened a -rope about the "body of the
reptile, and hoisted it to the surface.,',
, "There was then uu folded before our
eyes the most hideous , creature man
could ever dream of. Its head was
; like the huge stone head of a frightful
ly carved Chinese dragon. Its body
about the middle was as large as a
man's thigh and its length was so
great that I dare not say how many
feet it measured. I very much regret
ted being unaBle to preserve the skin
and bring H back for the study of
scientists, but I was "compelled to leave
it behind." Mexican Herald.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Three Bis; Grizzlies Frightened Off
by a Trivial Thins:.
A writer La Outing says that tbe
grizzly bear, like other ferocious and
resourceful beasts, has Its supersti
tious side, which Inclines blm at times
to cowardice, andlt was an accidental
play upon this weakness which enabled
a hunter, James B. Holmes, of Pasa
dena, Cal., to live to tell the following
story:
In August, 1896, Mr. Holmes was
chatting with a guide up among the
Coast Range Mountains, In San Joaquin
Valley, California. As they talked they
heard a crackling of twigs behind them.
"1 believe it's deer," said Mr. Holmes.
"No," said tbe guide; but he changed
his mind a moment later, when the
cracking became louder.
"They're deer, sure. Look out!" said
Holmes, softly.
Both men were then on their feet
waiting. Mr. Holmes had a rifle in
his bands, and he and the guide stood
watching the thicket above them,
whence the crackling sound came. As
they looked, the gray nose of a grizzly
was protruded through the foliage,
and the men stepped backward. Mr.
Holmes Is a crack shot, but he had
never had experience with grizzlies.
However, the nose of the bear made a
fine mark, and he raised his rifle to
blaze away. He was nearly twenty
yards from the bear. Just as he was
about to fire there was more crackling
of brush, and two other and larger
grizzlies thrust their heads through
the thicket toward the men. The guide
turned pale.
"Don't shoot," he called.
Mr. Holmes lowered his rifle.
"Run for the hill! Run for your life!"
yelled the guide.
Mr. Holmes did not catch the instruc
tions to go for the hill, but he ran.
Near the crest of the hill was a clump
of trees, and he made for them, hop
ing to find shelter or a hiding place.
The bears, with frightful bellowings,
went bounding over stones and chap
arral after him.
The old male grizzly was nearest.
Just as Mr. Holmes felt the hot breath
of this beast, he resolved to do some
thing desperate. He wheeled round
quickly, made a last effort to get his
gun into position, and fired. Then be
was knocked down.
The bear buried his teeth In Mr.
Holmes' right leg just below the hip,
tearing open the flesh. . The pain was
well-nigh killing. The female then
came up and made a vicious snap at
his ribs, but succeeded only In driving
her teeth through a pasteboard match
box, which Ignited the matches. She
gave an angry roar, shook her head
and snapped at his face, and he gave
his head a feeble jerk. It was just In
time. He heard the teeth snap in his
face with a sound like the closing of a
steel trap. Then he swooned. When
he recovered consciousness and, rising,
reconnoitered the situation, he saw the
larger bears, with the cub at their
heels, disappearing in the brush. Peep
ing over the brow of the hill, he per
ceived the guide, who rushed toward
him, saying:
"Thank God, sir, you're alive! It's
the narrowest squeeze I ever, saw;
there was one chance in a million for
you to escape alive from three griz
zlies. The box of burning matches
scared them off." ' ' '
A CITY OF EXTREMES.
In' Butte, Millionaires Rub Elbows
with Ragged and Dirty Hobos,
Surely no city ever knew such ex
tremes, such contrasts of life, as Butte.
Here are millionaires democratically'
rubbing elbows with out-at-heels hobos;
for here opportunity, a gambling chance
for wealth, has attracted both success
and failure. Here are college gradu
ates, foreign noblemen, Chinamen, Ital
ians, Welshmen, and a dozen other na
tionalities, with' a miserable remnant
of the aboriginal Indians, all gathering
and fraternizing in this little isolated
city. The chief of police has a check
list of six hundred ex-convicts who are
residents of the city; but that fact
alone Is highly misleading. It does jus
tice to the active better element, for
here are no fewer than twenty-eight
church orgsvagizations, with numerous
fine church edifices, the services well
supported, and well attended. Here are
crowding saloons, it is true, but here
are also some of the best equipped of
schools, housed in unusually fine
buildings, a really notable library, a
college of mines set on the bleakest of'
bleak hills without an inch of lawn or
a. tree anywhere near It.
You will hear of the activities of the
Woman's Club and the doings of the
Theosophical Society, and there are so
cial gatherings which differ not at all
in the proprieties or in resplendence
from those of the favored East. On the
other hand, you will hear, in the same
breath, related with no more surprise,
as though it were the most common
place of Incidents, such a story as this,
some of the details of which came un
der my. ' personal observation: Two
prominent young society men having
differed over a baseball game, one chal
lenged the other to . personal combat.
They drove out to a roadhouse, chose
seconds, stripped to the waist In the
presence, of a considerable company,
among which was the father of one of
the young men, and fought out their
differences with bare fists. Nothing
ever seems unexpected In Butte; what
ever happens 1$ so much added to the
public entertainment. Century.
