The adventures of Col one U oh n Finn in "Washington would make a hook. Coming into the room of' a fello-w Missounan at a late hour the other mght, Colonel Finn, with due solemnity, said: 'You're to he pall bearer at Ma lone's brother's funeral. I'm to be one, and I told Malone you'd be another. I'm going to get the other four." The Missourian had never seen Malonc's brother, but he recog nized the uselessness of suggesting an' such obstacle to Colonel Finn's plan; so, with a properly resigned manner, he asked, simply: "When is the funeral, John?" "He ain't dead yet," replied Col onel' Finn, without the ghost of a smile, ''but he will ho in a few days. Tie's sick and can't get well." "You don't mean to tell me you've been making the funeral ar rangements before the man's death?" asked the Missourian. "I do," stud Colonel Finn, in all seriousness. "Malone isn't used to these things. ' 1 told him T'd fix everything. 1 was over in Vir ginia this afternoon to the family burying ground and saw the graye dug with my own eyes." But Colonel Finn's adventures are not all of the ghastly kind. He stops, while the slow ma chinery of the government is at. work on one of his war claims, at a fashionable board in house. One morning this week an estimable widow boarder came down stairs in a state of great in dignation, and exclaimed to the landlady : "Mrs. Blank what do you think? The count" Colonel Finn is al ways referred to b- the other boarders as the count "came to my door at twelve o'clock last night and rapped. I said: ' "Who's there?" "Then I heard the count say: '"Are 'ou in bed, ma'am?" "I was never so insulted in my life." This sounds bad, but, fortunate ly, Colonel Finn was able to show something better than an alibi. As is well known the colonel is never without a lemon or two, some loaf sugar and the other in gredients for a famous Finn toddy. On the night he rapped at the lady's chamber door he had been engaged in fixing up a "nightcap" for some of the ladies in the par lor. They were so delighted that they insisted on c'the count" taking one of the hot drinks up to "poor dear Mrs. ," who had retired early with a headache. Ln gal lantly carrying out this philan thropic suggestion Col. Finn had encountered misconstruction of his honorable motives." K Vcvv Always have rV lgV Acker's Baby Soother at hand.

I have tried a number of physicians, but without receiving any permanent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The mcdlclno they applied was llko fire to the soro, causing intense pain. I saw a statement In the papers telling what S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured somo at once. Before I had used tho second bottle tho neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general health had been bad for two or thrcoyear3 I had a hacking cough and spit blood continually. I had a sevcro pain In my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. s. my cough left mo and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but a Httlo spot about tho size of a half dime, and It Is rapidly disappear ing. I would advise every one with cancer to gl ve S. S. S. a-f air trial. Mas. NANCY J.
