The fire and police departments have been or dered to abandon card playing, and a fall grown poker game has been broken up at the infirmary. It appears that several of the inmates receive small pensions and others earn a trifle occasionally for tobacco money by outside work. They have lately been losing most of it to some of their fellow unfortunates who are skilled in the manipulation of the cards. ; They used crackers and grains of coffee as chips and played in the basement of the baud' ing. A poker game in a poorhouse might be considered sufficiently unusual to be worth permitting to proceed as a curiosity, but Superintendent Mershon thought not and placed the participants under discipline.

"We have done away with the $3, 000, 000 bundle of money that we used to allow the brides who visited the vaults to handle, " said a treasury guide, "and they do not seem to be pleased with it. Many is the bride1 to whom I have handed the bundle marked '$2, 000,000,' with the remark, 'Now you can say you had $2,000,000 in your bands. ' ; It tickled them wonderfully, and they went away happy, but ignorant ofi what they handled, What vras in the bundle?

Beware Of Mercury! Mr. Henry Roth, of 1848 South 9th Street, St. Louis, was given the usual mercurial treatment for contagious blood poison. He was twice pronounc ed cured, but the disease returned each time,' he was seized with rheumatic pains, and red lumps and sores cov ered ms Doay. "I was in a hor rible fix" he says, "and the more treat ment I receiv ed, the worse I seemed to get. A New York specialist said he could cure me, but his treatment did me no good was stiff and full of arm was useless so that I was unable to do even the lightest work. This was my condition when I began to take S. S. S., and a few bottles convinced me that I was being benefitted. I continued the - medicine, and one dozen bottles cured me sound and well. My system was under the effects of mercury, and I would soon have been a complete wreck but for S. S. S." S. S. S., (guaranteed purely vegetable) is the only cure for real blood dis eases.

The first big bet of the presidential campaign so far reoorded was made here last night, when Charles D. Lane, manager for Alvina Hayward, and Henry Brat nober, the mine promoter, affixed their signatures to notes in which each pledged to pay the other $25,000 in oase the candidate of his choice is not the ohoioe of the people in November. The parties to the wager have known one another for many years. Lane was chairman of the reoent Bilver conven tion, and is an ardent supporter of W. J. Bryan and the white metaL Brat nober is just as enthusiastic a supporter of Major MoEinley. , The two friends were on the point of taking a "nightcap" at the Grand hotel bar, when the politioal situation was broached. In the heat of the de bate Bratnober offered to bet $100,000 on McEiuley's suooess, and Lane promptly aocepted the bet, but by mu tual consent it was subsequently de clared off. - Just before 'parting, how ever, Bratnober remarked to his friend that he guessed Lane had saved him self $100,000 by not making the bet, and the latter thereupon offered to bet any amount on Bryan at even money. Bratnober named $35,000, the bet was made, and a couple of minutes later their respective notes were signed and deposited in the hotel safe. Its Success Assured. Omaha, Sept. 15.

From the Evening Times, Buffalo, N. T. Along one of the dismal roads in Western New York; a man and wife were driving as rapidly as the dark ness and inclement weather would per mit. ... The rain beat down upon the rubber oovering and found its way into every orack and opening. The ocoupatns of the buggy were Dean Jones and his wife, of Spring ville, N. Y. Everybody is familiar with the name. ' He is the Well-known starting judge, who has beoome famous for his impartial and fair treatment of jockeys at the post. It was about ten years ago when Mr. and Mrs. Jones took that fateful ride that came near costing her her life. Mrs. Jones' clothes were thoroughly soaked before town was reached. Their was no fire in their hotel room and she became chilled to the bone be fore the little blaze, the attendant started, warmed the atmosphere. From that time on Mrs. Jones was an ill woman. Her trouble well, it was about ev erything with which human flesh can be afSioted. She had a strange, queer feeling in her head, that felt as if sev eral shot were rolling around loose on her brain. Pen cannot describe the torture she suffered. Local doctors told her she had water on the brain. A Times reporter called upon Mrs. Jones, who said; "Ever since that terrible wetting I reoeived, np to a year ago, I was an invalid. I Had terrible neuralgio pains in the head whioh often went to my feet and limbs. I was often in suoh a terrible state that I had to use a crutch to get around or else slide a chair before me to move abont the house. I was very ill for five years, in spells, and never expected to get well. It was a blood disease, I guess. One of the dootors I consulted said I had clotted blood in my head, and per haps I did. He could not cure me, neither could several other dootors I tried. I also used many' patent medi cines, but they did me no good. "My complexion was a perfect white, and my ears were so transparent you oould look through them. My blood was turning to water. "Look at me now; do I lotk siok?" The reporter was forced to admit that he had seldom seen a more perfect embodiment of health. With pardonable pride, Mrs. Jones said, "Dr. . Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People did it. . I can go anywhere now, while be fore I commenced using Dr. . Williams' remedy I oould not move out of the house. ' - . For three years, would you believe it, I did not even go to church. I was not always confined to my bed, but oould not leave the house. Wherever I go people say, 'Why, Mrs. Jones, how well you are looking. How did it happen?' and I always tall them 'Pink Pills did, it.' "I have not had true slightest touoh of my old illness for the last six months and feel as if I never had been ill in my life." Mr. Jones said, "you can readily im agine how highly we regard the rem edy in this house where we have had a wife and mother restored to perfeot health."' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on reciept of price, (50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2. 50 they are never sold in bulk, or by the. 100) by addressing Dr. Willimas' Medicine , Company, Schenectady, NY. For a pretty decoration at a summer wedding when the ceremony is perform ed at home Bell Bayless offers the fol lowing suggestion in The Ladies' Home Journal: "Take a tennis net, fish net or ham mock that may be cut the desired size and fasten it to the rings of a ourtain pole, looping it twice and then allowing it to fall to the ground. Then weave white flowers in and out the meshes, taking ferns or delicately cut foliage for a fringed border, being careful not to give too solid an appearance, and cover looping cords with a rope of ; flowers. White narcissus, .lilacs and-honeysuckle with white clover ropes may be used, but any flowers in . season may be util ized daisies, spireas, apple or plum blossoms, roses," chrysanthemums, any thing white, but if preferred, pink, blue or yellow for a border or entire drapery would be very dainty. , Asparagus vine works in beautifully for a green back ground. " ' Ida H. Hyde. . It is interesting to note that Miss Ida H. Hyde'of Chicago, who has just taken the degree of doctor of philosophy mag na cum laude at the University of Hei delberg, would have had gumma cum laude attached to her parchment save for the conservatism of one member of the faculty. No one, not even he, dis puted her right to the higher encomium, but he oould not bring himself to con cur in such superlative praise for a -woman. ' Miss ' Hyde ha3 held during part of her course in Germany the Eu ropean fellowship of the Association of Collegiate Alumnas. Her splendid show ing has naturally greatly delighted and enoouraged that body of intelligent and devoted women New York Times. There is some talk of having a sloop regatta at Bay Centre soon.

I Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its benencial effects are due to the fact, that itjs the one remedv which promotes internal" cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts.
