cording to these chroniclers, the Af

The Price ot a Boy.
(John Graham Brooks estimate that It
costs about $25,000 to properly educate
"middle-class" American boy.)
What ia the cost of a good, strong boy,
A boy we are proud to see,
A youthful prize of Lincoln size
Or a little Napoleon B.,
For a Henry Clay or a Frenkiin, say,
Or a Burns or an Andrew Lang?
And what must we bid for a Chinese kid
With a mind like Li Hung Chang?
What! twenty-five thousand to raise th
lad?
WpII that- ia a blow, for sure!
If what you name is the price of fame
Our son must remain obscure.
Time was when lads, ere they fed on fads,
Grew up till we called 'em great
And marched corn-fed to a nation's head
For a tenth of the sum you state.
I rather thought that a boy home-taught
n arhnnled In a modest way,
If born with brains and for taking pains,
Slight rise in the world some day ;
And I dreamed, in truth, that a college
youth
With nothing-a-week or less
Might still pull through (as I've seen
them do)
And race for the goal of success.
Though boys there are who are worth
the price, ' 0
I think it would wrench my eraW
To pay so dear for a Harry Lehr
And more for a Hurry Thaw;
If you raise boys cheap that are worth 8
heap,
Do you wonder the gods feel hurt
When they educate at a princely rate
The boys that are as cheap as dirt?
Then what Is the use of a boy, say I,
Brought up at the price of Brooks?
Can you give him mind of a better kind
In your costly ecole de luxe?
And if not, say I, I can raise my son
On a rational, frugal plan
Where he'll get the best and can stand
the test
When he grows to the size of a man.

A Finical Ball.
Elmer Strlcklett, the "spit- ball"
pitcher, had been listening a long wnile
in a New York club to the boasting of
a rival.
"Well," he said, exhausted at last,
"you are pretty good, Mike; but out
In Mountain View there is a young fel
low who can beat you. You'll hear
from him next season. His specialty Is
the slow ball. This young fellow has
such a slow ball that, when he pitches
It and sees that It is going to be hit,
he can run after It and fetch It back
again.' " .

"Women," remarked the young man

"So?" queried the Innocent bystander.
"Yea, verily," rejoined the y. m. "Not

lived on free lunch two weeks In order
to blow myself on an opera and a sup
per for a young woman. After supper
I asked her to marry me, and what
kind of an answer do you suppose she
handed me?"
"Give it up," rejoined the 1. b.
"She said she was very sorry," con
tinued the y. m., "but I was entirely

Too Slack for Him.
It was the closing hour of the long,
weary trial. The courtroom was packed
to suffocation to hear the venerable
Judge's charge to the Jury. There was
a minute's silence before he cleared his
throat and began to speak.
"Gentlemen of the Jury," he said In
part, "In arriving at a verdict In this
case vou must take the testimony of the
witnesses for the defense Into consld
eratlon and give thera full weight."
At the words "full weight" one of
the Jurymen fainted. He was a coal

of the Well-informed of the World fcas

excellent combination of Syrup of

ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for Its remarkable

THE SOURCE OFJUX, DISEASE
Threrv nart of the bodv Is deoendent on the blood for nourisliment and (
Strength. When this life stream is flowing through the system ia a state ol t
purity and richness we are assured o? perfect and uninterrupted health;
because pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however,
the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of
its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble i3 manifested in various
ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the diUerent skin affections
Bhow that the blood is in a feverish and diseased concucion as a result of too
much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers ara
the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Scrofula,. Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood
disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains.
These impurities and poisond find their way into the blood in various ways.
Often a sluggish, inactive condition
avenues of bodilv waste, leaves the
form uric and other acid3, which are taken up by the blood'and distributed
throughout the circulation. Coming ia contact with contagious diseases is
another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also brefithe the germs and
microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood ia
sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Soma
are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old
constitutional disease of ancestors i3 handed down to them and they ara
constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis
ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body h sure to
suffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S. is the Best
remedy ever discovered. It goes down into the circulation and removes any
