It is natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when rheumatic pains are shooting1 through the joints and muscles and they are inflamed and sore, the sufferer is apt to turn to liniments and plasters for relief ; and while such treatment may quiet the pain temporarily, no amount of rubbing or blistering can cure Rheumatism, because it is not a skin disease, but is in the blood and all through the system, and every time you are exposed to the same conditions that caused the first attack, you are going to have another, and Rheumatism will last just as long as the poison is in the blood, no matter what -you apply externally. Too much acid in the blood is one cause of Rheumatism; stomach troubles, bad digestion, weak kidneys and torpid liver are other causes which bring on this painful dis ease, because the blood becomes tainted with the poisonous mat ter which . these organs fail . to carry out of the system. Cer tain secret diseases will produce Rheumatism, and of all forms this is the most stubborn and severe, for, it seems to . affect' every bone and muscle in the body. The blood is the medium . inr whirh the ooisons and acids are carried through the system, and it doesn't matter what kind of Rheumatism you have, it must be treated through the blood, or you can never get permanently rid of it. As a cure for rheumatic trou bles S. S. S. has never been equalled. It doesn't inflame the stomach and ruin the digestion like Potash, Alkalies and other strong drugs, but tones ut the ereneral health, gently Joints and the sore and tender muscles are immediately relieved.

A few months ag-o I was feeling' weak and run down and unable to sret Bleep at night. I felt extremely bad, and also had rheumatic pains in my joints and mus cles. The medicine I used grave me only temporary relief at best; so seeing S. 8 S. highly recommended for such trou bles, I began its use, and after taking it for some time was well pleased with the result. It did away with the rheumatic pains, gave me refreshing- sleep and built up my greneral system, griving ma strength and energy. It is a good modi cine, without a doubt, and I taks pleas, uro in endorsing it. B F. D. No. i. S. 8.

The corn plant grows In about every State in the Union, and people throughout the country think they are familiar with It; but to appreciate what corn really means one should make a tour through some of the Western States where the fields may be miles rather than acres In extent, and where the harvest of a farmer means nearer 100,000 than 1,000 bush els, says the New York Tribune. It Is in this part of the country that one can as easily get lost In a cornfield as he would In a forest, so vast are the i fields. In the "bottoms" of Kansas and Nebraska a man riding through a patch on horseback will often be hid den from view, as the tops of the plants extend above his head, resem- j bllng young trees In their proportions. It Is no wonder that the people of many of the prairie States celebrate the coming of klng corn" as the Southerner does the appearance of "king cotton," for some of these com monwealths alone produce enough corn in a year to feed a nation. The corn patch of Iowa, which covers over 8,000,000 acres yearly, sometimes pro duces 300.000,000 bushels. Nebraska Is j another 8,000,000 State, but Kansas, 1 the State of the sunflower, takes the j lead with nearly 9,000,000 acres, each year devoted to this cereal. There are counties in Kansas where one can Bee square miles not acres planted en tirely with corn, where fields are so large that standing at one end the visitor sees the horizon unbroken by j anything except a mass of plants swaying in the breeze. I It is not strange that the corn har vest is made the occasion of fetes or carnivals in some of the Western com- j munities. The Idea probably origi-1 nated from the corn festival of the In dians, but the red man would never recognize the old-time festival In the transformation which It has under- j gone. Weeks before harvest time prep arations are made. The prominent citizens of the town contribute to a fund for decoration, music and usually the entertainment of townspeople and guests at a banquet. The services of some leading orator are secured and the governor is invited to attend with other notables. A spe cial week is set apart at a time when the farmers have finished gathering the grain and have leisure to attend. The railroad companies are Induced to offer special rates for transportation and with others offer prizes for the best designs and decorations. A pro gram is arranged, consisting of proces sions, public meetings, concerts and other attractions which will Interest the townspeople and visitors. Gener ally a committee of leading citizens, headed by the mayor, take charge, and large sams of money are expend ed m arranging tne carnival. Each resident vies with his neighbor in the decorations, and there is shown what can be done with the grain in honor of which the celebration is held. Some of the Resigns are truly wonder ful. As single stalks can be procured which are fifteen feet in height; an op portunity is offered to construct pa godas, booths and other ornamental buildings with walls and roofs of the plant. The stalks have such strength and lightness that they can be easily made Into representatives of. castles, forts and1 historic structures. The leaves are worked, into an Inconceiva ble variety of designs. The women and girls make costumes out of the husks, even to hats and bonnets. They are woven into parasols and umbrel las, while frequently the front of a building will be hidden by a covering of them, thirty or forty feet in length, with openings cut for the windows and doors. The manufacture of corn mlllnery has become an art among the Western women. At a carnival held in Atchi son the principal milliners of the town produced some wonderful ereatlons of headgear entirely from the silk, husks and tassels. Many of them were worn during the camlral week by the belles of the place. A Case of Defective Memory. An anecdote which haa lately been going the rounds in British official cir cles concerns the memorable experi ence of a certain member of Parlia ment during the last year of Queen Victoria's reign. The statesman In question is not one of those who are most firmly convinced of the benefits of total, abstinence, and the evening of a certain public function at which royalty was. to be present foftd him In a condition which would not have been edifying to the supporters of that movement.' The late Queen was re ceiving the guests of honor, and It was necessary that the convival M. P. should be presented with the rest. Aa he approached his sovereign, Vic toria extended her hand for him to kiss. But he did not kiss It; instead, he grasped itfrnd shook it with vigor ous enthusiasm, while he scrutinized her face with grave perplexity. "Tour face, madam," he observed, "la perfectly familiar to me, but I'm blowed if can remember your name!" New Substitute for Rubber. Ontta-jootalong is a new materia which is utilized as a substitute for and In conjunction with India rubber. It is a product of the .

The bank belonged to the child, and It had all the interest of a new toy. In an effort to show the child how It worked and the object of It, the mother had sacrificed all her available change, after which the child had picked up a few pennies that had been carelessly left on a table, and these had followed the rest : Then she had waited to make a financial assault on her father. ' "Money." she said to him as soon as he was settled in his favorite chair. "Say! she's beginning early," .he commented, laughingly. "Oh, I've got a savings bank for her, and she's been crazy to put money In it all day," his wife explained. "Well, as long as she puts It In the bank if s safe," he remarked, as he gave her a nickel. Her eyes sparkled and she laughed so joyously that he was enraptured. She was a happy, graceful child, with very pretty and captivating ways of expressing her pleasure. "That was worth more than a nickel." he laughed, as he gave her a dime. "But yon mustn't humor her too much," his wife cautioned. "Oh, this is in a good cause," he urged, with the blind indulgence of a particularly proud father. "It's teach ing her to save money, and that's something every child should learn. It isn't like spending It, you know, which would be wasteful." j So he gave her a quarter, and in two minutes he was laughing as Joyously I as she was and getting as much fun out of her as she was out of the bank. But after dinner It was different. I "By George!" he exclaimed, "the , bank's got all my money, and I've got to go uptown. I'll have to borrow some change from you." "What little I had," she explained, "was used in showing Tottie what the bank was for." "Well, a bill, then." "Haven't one. I told you this morn ing " you'd have to bring home some money to-night.. Did you forget it?" ' His blank look showed that he had. "We'll have to open the bank, then," he said. "I've got to have some money." "The only way that bank can be opened," she told him, "is by taking it to the savings bank that issued it. and then they'll place the money it contains to the credit of Tottie." He swore; not there in the house, but later, while he was taking a nice. brisk, three-mile walk to keep his ap pointment for that evening. And It was a week before he could be in duced to look at the little bank again. which he has classified as a sort of an Inanimate confidence man. Brooklyn Eagle. INDIAN AS FOOTBALL PLAYER. Ha Is TJnamr passed in Kaaslai mad Tackling- Fnd of flame. As a matter of prosaic fact, these hard-working and well-behaved wards of the nation at Carlisle have been from the start models of disciplined and educated conduct on the football field aa well as off, and only their shocks, of black hair and. their swarthy faces mark them as unusual or odd when they line up against the "palefaces," says a writer In the D lustrated Sporting News. These lads are intensely fond of football, and they have left In them an inherited indifference to hurts and a toughness of fiber that are their strongest Qualities when added to swiftness and agility of movement. I have seen them play through a hard game without one call for "time out, because of injury, and nearly everyone who has seen them play must have noticed the fierceness of their tackling and their fashion of breaking out of a scrummage on the rebound like so many rubber balls. In running, tack ling and aggressive line-breaking the Indians are unsurpassed. Their weakness is an argument In favor of the claim that football la a question of the trained mind as much as the powerful body. It Is mental alertness and adaptability that the Car lisle players find themselves lacking when they meet the first-class teams. To analyze and meet the unexpected, and to solve the problems of a scien tific attack and defense of a style to which they are not accustomed puzzles the slower and less effectively trained mind of the Indian, and he cannot make as quick a change of mental base as the white youth. This Is to be expected, and the astonishing feature of it is that the Indian player is able to make the showing he does. He comes to Carlisle from the reserva tlon a little savage and In perhaps a half dozen years he Is fashioned into the clean, alert, self-respecting young man who delights those who know good football, played with ardor, yet with self-control and Intelligence of high order. While his opponents shout and rave in moments of great stress. he plays the game in silence, without a show of emotion, whether he wins or loses the type of the true sportsman. He Is a vindication both of the whole some training of football In the devel opment of young manhood and of the magnificent work accomplished by the Dolicy and life work of Col. Pratt at Carlisle. A Fair Question. A hypochondriac who visited Sir Co nan Doyle in the days when he was a practicing physician complained of "a very bad side."
