AS OLD AS ,That blood poison existed among the ancients lias been proven beyond question. It lias been traced back thousands of years, and is as old as the Pyramids. This blighting curse lias been handed down from nation to nation and from individual to individual till it has spread to all parts of the world. Contagious blood poison, as it is called in modern times, begins with a Small 6ore or nicer through which, the virus enters the blood. This is followed bv inflam mation and swelling of the glands of the groins, a red eruption breaks out on the body, sores appear in the mouth and the throat becomes ulcerated, and as the disease takes a deeper hold and the blood becomes more thoroughly infected, the hair and eyebrows drop out, the skin is spotted with copper-colored splotches, the bones and muscles ache, and it teems to the vicLim of this monster scourge there is not a sound spot in the whole body. .The horror of this awful disease can never be told. The one who con tracts it suffers in body and mind, and if the poison is not eradicated transmits the taint to his children, and Coutagious Blood Poison thus becomes responsible for many of the ills of childhood Skin Eruptions, Catarrhal Troubles, Sore Eyes, Scalp Disease, White Swelling, Scrofula and others just as bad. S. S. S., the great vegetable blood purifier and tonic, ban long been recognized as a radical and safe cure for Contagious lllood Poison. It counteracts the deadly virus and cleanses and puri fies the diseased blood, and under ita tonic effects the general health im proves and soon all 6igns of blood poison are gone. The strong mineral remedies, Mercury and Totash, which are so often prescribed for the disease, dry up the sores, skin eruptions and ! all external siena. but leave the stomach. and digestion ruined and the system in such condition that tlie disease usually returns in worse form than ever. S. S. S. is guaranteed a purely vegeta ble remedy. $i ,ooo is offered for proof that it contains a single mineral ingredient.

I Loosely tied over an expanse of white shirt Is a soft black neckerchief a stock, you might say, of the period of Henry Clay. Judge Clary is now completing his fortieth year of continuous service In the Superior Court bench of Cook County, 111., a record unequnlod by any elective Jurist In the United States. He Is a product of the State of New York, but of Puritan extraction. He was born at Potsdam, St. Lawrence County, In 1821. His parent were Ell Hush Gary and Orllla Easton Gary. To-day he la not only older In point of years and judicial service than any other judge In Illinois, but he Is also perhaps the wittiest, most satirical and In some respects the most picturesque figure who has ever occupied a seat on the bench In the Middle West. Though a man of few words, brusque tn man tier, keen tn wit and often cutting In sarcasm, seeking neither publicity nor applause. Judge Gary's popularity has Increased as he has advanced In years. Snow-haired and bowed with his four score years, he Is still alert physically and menially. He pays close attention to witnesses, clipping short their vcr lioslty, reproving their Indiscretions and punctuating the questions, of coun sel with wit and apt Inquiries of his own. lie looKs use a picture or Adolphe Thiers. Per a long time after he presided In the trial of the anarchists his house was guarded by the police, but this was not done at his request. Detect ives also kept him under their eyes in his walks about the city. Put these precautious are taken no longer. Though he was often threatened and warned during the excitement follow ing the HayniarLet riots, he never showed fear. Amtrehls! Parsons, Spies and their six companions were con victed of the murder of Police Officer Matthias lMan lu May, lfs8t. Seven received the sentence of death and one was sent to the penitentiary for seventeen years. During the trial and afterward the friends of the accused hlttorly denounced Judge Gary for his rulings and conduct of the case. Put his decisions were sustained In the State and Pederal Supreme courts, and his course went far toward solving the problem of dealing with an element which had announced Its antagonism to organized society ami sought to de stroy the whole fabric of enlightened civilization.

One day It occurred to Ita owner that it was shaped something like a violin, and he tried tlie experiment of fash ioning it to look more like that popular instrument. After much patient effort Mr. adimin managed to transform tlie daw into a violin that could be played. The tone was very sweet, but not loud enough for an ordiestra. Ex periment proved that by changing the fittings and settings the tone could be made much louder. As it Is now the violin when played properly sounds exactly like any other violin.
