Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood fot
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the eystem the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

SOME CURIOSITIES OF HABIT.
Peop'e Psll t lade or Hay, Ptraw.
Ktc , from Mysterious Impale-.
After counting that twenty-four out
of thirty pass-rs-l,y had pulled a wisp
out of some one of the many bales of
excelsior piled up on the sidewalk, the
traveling salesman looked up at the
proprietor of the excelsior place, and
catching his eye, they both U-gan to
laugh.
"How many does your count show?"
he asked the salesman. ,-l noticed you
have been counting them, same as I do
sometimes." Ami when the salesman
told him the proprietor remarked that
it was about the usual average, al
though lie had often counted as many
as nineteen out of twenty passers-by
whet could not resist the Impulse to
take a pull at the bales.
"It is a very funny thing. What
makes people do that-;" asked the
you tig salesman.
'AVell. I di n t kmnv. really. I just
know this, however, that It Is a con
founded nuisance. I ilon't mind to
have about fifteen to twenty-five pounds
of my (jnoils wasted every day just be
cause a lot of people have m control
over their hands. Un just look at that
sidewalk: You'd think It hadn't been
swept for a month, wouldn't you? Well,
that sidewalk has been swept four
times this morning.
"As 1 say, it isn't the stuff that's
wasted I care about, but 1 don't want
the bother of keeping the sidewalk free
from excelsior, as my neighbor here
next door insists when everybody that
passes throws some dow n for my men
to sweep away, and if 1 don't have It
done then my neighbors light w ith me
about it. I have twice h.id to go to
court about it.
"It's the same thing with hay. straw
or hair for mattresses. Some people,
even, can't stop themselves from pull
ing billboards all to pieces as they walk
along. No, I e-juldu't say wiuu makes
people do It. My bookkeeper 'nside
there is quite a dab at phrenology, and
he says it's the bump of desrructive
hess makes people do that. I'.ut. then,
what makes me do it? 1 ain't anxious
to waste my own goods, and 1 often
take a pull at a bale myself when 1
ain't thinking. I guess It's human un
trtre. that's all. You're going, are you?
Well, so long. Iirop in early next
week. 1 expect I'll have something for
you theu.
"Now. just look nt him." exclaimed
the proprietor, with a grim smile, as
the salesman walked away. "There he
goes, too," and the salesman, passing
by one of the bales, pulled out a gen
erous wisp and was ubsent-uiindedly
crumbling It away In his baud as he
walked off.
Song with a Sentiment.
People living around the vicinity of
5th and Chestnut streets had a good
laugh one day last week. A little ne
gro girl is in the habit of coming to
the pump nt the corner to get water.
She brings her bucket along, and, being
too small to handle the pump, she usual
ly begs some passer-by to pump for her.
They always accede. The other day
she had reached her destination with
the bucket, and as she did so a tall,
sober looking gentleman passed. "Mis
ter," said the small African damsel,
"won't you please fill my bucket for
me?"
The gentleman instantly halted, put
the tin bucket on the spout aud started
to pump. As he did so, the negro bloom
er began singing in a loud voice, "l'se
got er white man wukkiu' for me."
The familiar tuue of the variety song
struck the bystanders aud passers-by,
and they were convulsed with the sit
uation. No so the pumper. He evi
dently did not know anything about
comic songs of that character, and did
not see the joke, for he went on pump
ing gravely until the bucket was filled
and hauded to its songful owner.
You couldn't get any of the fellows
near there now to till that bucket un
less the girl could be bouud over to
keep the peace while they pumped.

Sea M ater for His Wrist.
Ahern, the telegraph expert, put his
brawny arm over the launch's side and
let It drag through the salty water.
He had half a dozen reporters In the
launch, all armed with specials to file
at the Highlands of Navesink, and af
ter.tbe launch had slipped through four
miles of the Shrewsbury the operator
withdrew his arm and looked at his
wrist.
"There," said he, according to the
New York Mail and Express, "I am
good for 10, 000 extra words," and he
rubbed the wrist In a patroniging way.
Somebody asked him for an explana
tion and he said:
"I have found that by placing the
wrist In cool water for half an hour any
operator Is able to double his energy
and endurance for the following twelve
hours. The wrist Is the main machin
ery of the telegraph operator. Its mus
cles and nerves are dependent upon per
fect action. This Immersion in the sea
is worth considerable money to the
company. Not only can I send quick
er, but I can send better Morse and
with greater endurance."
His Conception, of Punishment.
Once when the Secretary of War,
Elihu Boot, had approved a punishment
of an offender in the Philippines with
a severity which seemed somewhat dis
proportionate to the crime, a visitor
ventured to ask him whether he did not
consider such a penalty a good deal like
the old law of England, which hanged
a man for stealing a sheep. "Certain
ly," was the answer, "and we Impose it
In the same spirit, not as an expiatory
sacrifice, but as a preventive. The thief
was hanged, not because a stolen sheep
was regarded as worth a human life,
but in order that more sheep should not
be stolen."

Sir Thomas Lipton hardly stands

Parental Sarcasm.
"Yes," said Farmer Corntossel,
"our boy Josiah is devoting a good

"Isn't that rather an unprofitable

"Yes. But, you see, all the cabinet
