H ere are two essays on the Hugus-
ntfts by Chicago public school pupils:
“ Th e liugunots are people in France
that are followers o f
V ictor Hugo.
Th eir leader*is a man named Jean
Valjeau that was a thief, but got con
verted and turned out well. Th e Hugo-
nots are very good people. A lady
named Evangellue wrote a long poem
about them, but It don’t rhyme.”
“ Th e Huguenots la the rfarne o f a big
thing like a steam roller that the mo
gul used In India to run over people.
It aquoehed them to death and was very
terrible. I t had eyes painted on it like
a dragon and snorted steam when it
was running. They are no huguenots
euny more."
“ Senator, everybody is commending
that speech yon made the other day on
the subject of the trusts."
“ I think myself it was a pretty fair
effort."
,
“ Unfortunately, I didn’ t hear i t What
position did you take?"
“ Bless you, I didn't take any. I man
aged, however, to assure each party to the
controversy that its position was the only
correct and logical one."

Th e Southwest visa with tbs Cana

opment.
A quarter o f the railroad
trackage laid in the entire country last
year was laid In the Southwest, says
the New York Tribune. Texas led with
701 miles o f new track, nearly an
eighth o f the total o f tbs country, and
Texaa now leads the States In the coun
try In railw ay mileage, Illinois having
been the leading State up to 1900. In
Louisiana 801 miles were laid in 1806.
The other Southwestern States and
Territories made great gains.
Im m i
gration thither is extensive.
B. F.
Yoakum o f the Rock Island R a ilw a y
says that 10,000 Immigrants to the
Southwest pass through S t Louis weak
ly,'- and other thousands enter by way
o f Kansas City, Memphis and New Or
leans. H e predicts that the census o f
1910 w ill show a growth In ten y e a n
o f 00 per cent In the rural population
o f Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and T ex
as, and 100 per cent In Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. These are desirable
Immigrants, Americans, tillers o f the
soil from the older States o f the East
and Middle West, who prefer tbs at
tractions o f the South to those serosa
the border In Canada. T h e S t Louis
Globe-Democrat calls attention to the
fact that In 1900 the center o f the cot
ton crop was In western Mississippi,
while now It Is probably west o f U»e
Mississippi River. Texas raised a third
o7 last year’s crop. Th e making o f
Oklahoma and Indian T errito ry Into a
State has been, says the Globe-Demo
crat, a great advertisement fo r the
whole “ empire o f the Southwest
The Canadian Northwest Is also enti
tled to Its boast There are a fuel fam
ine and a railroad congestion there, as
there are south o f the border. Th e
railroad building baa not caught up
w ith the grow ing population. A corre
spondent o f the Toronto Globe writes
“ Th e plain truth Is that the expau-
sion o f the West has proceeded on a
scale more huge than even the most
advanced optimist bad expected, and
all arrangements have fallen short o f
the necessities. In thé export cattle
trade alone there has been an increaae
o f 80 per cent, the fcO.OOO head o f last
year having been Increased this year to
100,000. The growth o f population has
meant an enormous Increase In traffic
In supplies and In the handling o f set
tlers’ effects. Considerably over 100,-
000 people have come Into the province
during the year from other lands, and
in addition many have moved from the
older sections o f Manitoba to the still
cheaper land In the western provinces.”
Cities and towns have sprung up so
rapidly and grown so fast that those

CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON
NO LIMIT 10 ITS POWERS FOR EVIL
• Contagious Blood Poiaon has brought more suffering, misery and humila-
Uon into the world than all other diseases combined; there ts hardly any
limit to its powers for ervil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders,
wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being
transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame.
So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it
by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose
blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison
but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience
know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of
the suffering which is to follow. It comes in the form o f ulcerated mouth
and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in the groin,
falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the
finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous system isahat-
tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi
ally is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poison, shown when the
infected person endeavors to combat the poiaon with mercury and potash.
These minerals w ill drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for
a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When,
however,the treatment is left off he finds that the poison has only been driven
deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usnally in worse form
because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from
the blood hut have weakened the entire system because of their destructive
action. S. S. S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagious Blood Poi
son. It is made of a combination of healing blood-purifying roots, herbs
and barks, the best in Nature's great laboratory of forest and field. W e
offer a rewind of f i.ooo for proof that S. S. S. contains a particle of mineral
in any form. S. 8. S. goes down to the
very bottom of the trouble and by deansin
the blood of every particle of the virus anu
adding rich, healthful qualities to this vital
fluid, forever cures this powerful disorder.
So thoroughly does 8. 8. 8. cleanse the
PURELY VEGETABLE circulation that no signs of the disease are
ever seen again, and offspring is protected.
W rite for our special book on Contagious Blood Poison, which fully e x
plains the -different stages of the trouble, and outlines a complete home treat
ment for all sufferersof this trouble. N o charge is made for this book, and
if you wish special medical advice about case or any of its symptoms, our
physicians
be glad to furnish that, too, without barge,
