SAD SCENE AT" AN AUCTION.- .'
Which Was Followed by Gleeful Chuckles
a Few Hoars Later.
"Who bids?"
The auctioneer hold up a child's
rocking horse, battered and stained. It
had belonged to some little member of
the man's family -whose honsehold
property was being sold under ihe ham
mer. He was utterly ruined. He had given
tip everything in the world to his cred
itors house, furniture, horses, stock of
goods and lands. Ho stood among the
crowd watching tho salo that was scat
tering his household gocds and his heir
looms amcng a hundred strange hands.
On his arm leaned a woman, heavily
veiled.
"Who bids?"
The auctioneer held tbo rocking horse
high, that it might bo seen. Childish
hauda had torn away the scanty mane;
the bridle was twisted and worn by
tendor little fingers. The crowd was
still.
The woman under tho heavy veil
sobbed and stretched cut her hands.
"2s o, no, no!" she cried.
The man's faco was white with emo
tion. Tho little form that onco so mer
rily rode the old recking horse had
drifted away into the world years ago.
This was the only relic left of his happy
infancy.
Tho auctioneer, with a queer mois
ture in his eyes, handed the recking
horse to the man without a word. Ho
seized it with eager hands, and ho and
the veiled woman hurried away.
The crowd murmured with sympathy.
r. The man and the woman went into
an empty room and set the rocking
horse down. Ho took out his knife,
ripped open the front of the horso and
took out a roll of bills. Ho counted
them and said :
"It's a cold day when I fail without
a rako off. Eight thousand five hundred
dollars, but that auctioneer came very
near busting up the game." Houston

TOO
The use of the surgeon's knife is be
coming so general, resulting fatally
in such a large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm. The press al
-roost daily announces the death of some
unfortunate whose system could not
withstand the shock of an operation,
and whose life was cruelly sacrificed to
the keen blade of the surgeon.
Of course, in some instances an
operation is necessary, and is the
only means of saving life, but such cases
are exceedingly rare. So many deaths
occur under these conditions, however,
that the public is beginning to realize
that the doctors are too hasty in resort
ing to the knife, and if such a state of
affairs continues, there will before long
be a general uprising against such meas
ures. It is but reasonable to believe
that the majority of operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
is discovered too late, only the doctors
ever know of their error, and though a
precious life is given up, the public is
assured that death would have resulted
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiser?
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases of causer, is demonstrated every
time it is undertaken. The disease is
in the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of a
terrible condition of the entire circula
tion. To cut out this sere, therefore,
(ioes not in anyway effect the disease,
nnd jt can easily be seen that the only
correct treatment is to get at the seat of
the disease, and purify the blood; the
sore will then heal up naturally. S.S.S.

and is the only cure for cancer.
MR. vTLLIA3I "VVALPOLE.
r ...
' To submit to an operation, is to volun
tarily endanger one's life, without the
slightest hope of being benefitted.
Mr. William Walpole, is a wealthy
planter residing at Walshtown, South
Dakota, and is well known all over the
state. TJnder-date of January 20th, 1896,
he writes; "Aboutthreeyears ago, there
came under my left ej-e a little blotch
about the size of a small pea. It grew
rapidly, and for the past year, shooting
pains ran in every direction. I became
alarmed and consulted a good doctor,
who pronounced it cancer, and said that
it must be cut out This I would not
consent to, having little faith in the in
discriminate use of the knife, though I
was alarmed at my condition. Reading
of the many cures made by S.S.S., I
determined to give that medicine a trial,
and after I had taken it a few days, the
cancer became irritated and began to dis
charge. This after awhile ceased, leaving
a small scab, which finally dropped off,
and only a healthy looking little
scar remained to mark the place where
the destroyer had held full sway .Words
are inadequate to express my gratitude to
the great blood purifier, S. S. S.f and I
write this hoping that itmaybethemeans
of leading other sufferers to a cure."
Cancer is not incurable, but the only
means of curing it is to rid the blood of
the disease. S.S.S. never fails to do
this, brtt it is the only remedy to be re
lied upon. It is guaranteed purely
vegetable, and cures Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism and any
other disease of the blood. Other blood
diseases often develop into such alarmr
ing conditions that the doctors think an
operation necessary. Scrofula, for in
stance, often diseases the glands of the
neck to such an extent that an operation
is looked upon as absolutely the only
relief. This is also a grave error, as the
disease is in the blood and a real blood
remedy is the only cure.
An operation never did cure a blood
disease. .Beware ox the tuile 1

WHEN VIRTUE LOST.
A STORY TO PROVE THAT RIGHT DOES
NOT ALWAYS COME UPPERMOST.
A Itciarkahle Talo of Lovo 3ad Traged
In a Southern Town Tho jFatal "Wcrfc
of Tiro Ballets Fired by Enraged Kivals.
Tho End of a Foolish Girl.
A Star reporter was one of a group in
a hotel lobby tho oilier evening and a
New York drummer had just finished a
story on the old line of virtue triumph
ing and tho villain of the plot getting
his just dues this side of the hot place,
when a Kentucky congressman tcok the
floor.
"That sort of thing," he said, "is
well enough in books and on the si age
and I am willing to agree that it hap
pens in actual lifo, but not always. Let
me cite an instance to tho contrary."
There being no objection to the cita
tion, the Kentuckian, after casting his
eye over the company, proceeded :
"Years ago, in a southern town," he
said, "thoro lived a pretty girl with a
lot of money a combination no man can
deny the power of and sho had sweet
hearts galore, but two of her devotees,
one quite a reputable, man and the other
quite as disreputable, and after her moro
for her money than herself, led all tho
rest, and both of them were nervy men
and quick on the trigger. Any sensible
person would havo thought that tho girl
would have decided very early as be-
tweeu the good and tho bad, but every
one knows that women don't do that
way in matters of the heart.
"I will say for her, though, that her
preferences wore for tho decent man and
he stood tho best chance of wiuninj;
among all of the contestants.

reputable rival, however, received more
or Jess encouragement and he was mak
ing a hot fight so hot, in fact, that on
one or two occasions tho men had come
to blows and once, at least, pistols had
been drawn. Tho girl was foolish, aa
other women havo been under liko cir
cumstances, and rather enjoyed tha po
sition sho occupied, and felt flattered by
tho dangerous rivals for her hand and
heart. Ouo day, though, it culminated
tragically, and tho girl didn't regret it,
that any bod v over heard her mention. It
-t. ft .-1.1
havo it out, but they wero hot blooued
and young and on tho instant two men
jumped back from each other a few feet,
two pistols flew from two hip pockets,
two sharp reports rang out upon the
air, and ouo man fell to tho sidewalk,
dead. And it wasn't tho bad man,
either. On the contrary, it was the repu
table ouo, and there was a bullet holu
straight through his forehead. The bad
. man's shot had preceded ihe other just
enough, and the decent man's ptbtol
went off as ho throw up his hands. Five
minutes lator ihe whole street was in an
uproar, and the bad man was in custody.
The other man was carried over to tho
girl's house, for it wan not known then
that ho was dead, and a pi j.-:ic:an ws.i
called. Ualf an hour luter tho dead body
was removed to r.u undertaker's, and
that pait of the tragedy was over.
"During all tho excitement, the girl
had not mado her appearance, and a.;
soon as iho air quieted a little search
was made for her, because it was known
that she had been in the honeo slioitly
before tho shooting. Her mother went
directly to her room, and when
opened iho door, f-hc raw hc-r daughter
sitting at tho window, cr rather loaning
upon a flower shelf cu tho window f-ill,
and her first thought was that the girl
had seen tho shooting and had fainted.
She ran to her and lifted her up and a:?
sho did so rlio found her fac o bloody and
tbo girl's body almost stiff, fcjho ran,
screaming, out, and when the doctor
canio he found a dead girl with a bullet
hole in her head.
"Further examination showed a holo
in the glass of the window, and tho
whole .story was told. Tho girl had been
sitting thers, and had no doubt seen the
meeting of tho two men, and tho bullet
from tho killed man's pistol had readied
her there and ended her life at the samo
timo fiie lifo of tho man sho would ha-o
married went out. Of course it was self
defense in tho case of tho man who
escaped his lival's bullet, and it was
the rival's bailee which kiiied ihe girl,
and the rival was beyond any earthly
jurisdiction. The affair ended there,
with nothing good in triumph, oxcept v.
public sentiment which compelled the
killer to stay away from ihe town for
five or six years."
"Didn't ho even meet a violent death
or something liko that?" inquired ihe
drummer, thirsting for some trace of
tho usual in the tale."
"No," replied tho iveuluckian, "not
even that. His uncle died and left him
-a fiuo farm, and ho found a very nice
girl who was willing to marry him. "
The drummer sighed and didn't ofi'er
to cap the Kentnekiau's story with a
better one. Washington Star.

The Wind Engine.
Thero seems to be no question as to
the practice:! utility of the new though
crudo wind engine which is now
coming into use in some parts of the
wosr. According to the description, it
resembles tho paddle wheel of a stern
wheel boat, with a shaft 32 to M feet
long, 12 to 1G feet across, with six or
eight arms. The lower half of the wheel !
is shielded from tho wind, so that the
air acts only upon tljg upper vanes. A
crank upon one end of the shaft con
nects with the pump. Power can be. iu
defiuiiely increased at any time by sim

acts upon this sort cf paddle wheel from
all points of the compass except two,
and it seems to require no governor,
but simply pumps more during a storm.

placed so ihat the radial arms will be
clear of the ground. Oco of these wheels
now running in Kansas is stated to bo

STORY OF ONE OF THE WOMEN OF
REVOLUTIONARY DAYS.
How a Ilassachnsetts. Parmer's "Wife Bee
dcreil Incalculable Assistanco to Hel
Distressed Country Tarnishing Food
and Clothing to Patriot Soldier?.
I have searched everywhere to ascer
tain the maiden name and parentago ol
tho woman who is, to my mind, ths
greatest heroine of the Revolutionary
days, though, if "objection is mado tc
this assertion, I could modify it b
claiming that sho was certainly the most
patriotic in tho state of .Massachusetts.
She was Mary Draper, wife of Captain
Draper of Dedham, Mass., married loun
beforo the war, and with children well
grown up when tho trouble began al
Lcsingtoji,;. therefore the seeming im
possibility of finding any history of- .hoi
early life.
Captain Draper was a thriving farm
er, and had always prospered, if crni
could judge uom his surroundings ami
the manner of living carried 011 in his ;
family. His house and his barns werd
large, and tho iattor were always filleJ
to their utmost capacity with the storei
for winter for his family and tho duin!i
animals which belonged to him.
Tho houso was built with two
laraa
ovens, either ono of them large euoug!:
to bake bread for the whole village.
When tho news was heard of the ex
pected attack of iho British upon out
patriots at Lexington, General Putnam,
in Connecticut, was at worlc in his fiehl
plowing. lie left all and seised his
musket, and, not waiting to chango his
apparel, marched on io Cambridge, call
ing on all ho saw on his way to join in,
bring any weapons they had, and fol
low without delay. Their, ronte happen

Men thought cf nothing but libertv
y 1
and tho safety cf their homes and fnini
lies,
and
They put their trust m the Lord,
lefc all in the hands of Providenco,
but struck with their right arms their
first blow for freedom at this Lexington
fight. It may be judged such an oppor- j
tnuity as this would develop almost any 1
character and such a benevolent woman
as Mary Draper would become a brighs
and shining light.
At "tho lirst call sho exhorted her hus
band io lose no time in preparing and
hastening to the poeue of action. With
her own hands plie bound knapsack and
blanket to the shoulders of her only son,
a boy of 115 years, bidding f!im hasten to
do his duty and follow in tiie footsteps
of his father. The daughter entreated i unrists, inn none mat 1 navo eousuJt
tho mother to allow him to remain and 1 oil tolls where he was lorn or when and
protect them, but she answered, "No,
ho must go, but you and I, Kate, will
have enough to do to feed the hungry
who will pass hero on their way beforo
tomorrow night."
Hundreds did come and were fed, and
passed on, only to bo followed by hun
dreds more, who wero all treated in thy
samo generous manner. Refreshed and
rested and encouraged to go on by .Mary
Draper, they continued to pass along
this road lhat led by their home for sev
eral days, till order and discipline woro
established.
Mary Draper, assisted by her daughter
and a domestic in her family, spent tho
whole dayand night and following day
in baking brown bread. Tho two ovens
that I have mentioned as being of uu"
usually largo capacity were sec in full
blast, and they never had been before so
pushed to their fullest ostent, t:nd I
doubt if ever since, in such a small
space of time.
With tho help of a disabled French
man, a veteran of the French war, who
had been given a home in tho Draper
family for many j'ears, Mary Draper had
all tho refreshments in readiness t.) offer
tho weary patriots as they passed along.
A long wooden form was erected by the
roadsi le, largo pans of bread and c iieeso
were placed upon it and replenished as
often as necessary. Tho old veteran
brought tubs which were filled full of
cider from their cellar, and it v.as served
out by two lads who volunteered their
services. Mrs. Draper presided r.t this
entertainment, and when her stock of
provisions gave out, called upon her
neighbors for contributions.
Her husband had purchased a bullet
mold to supply himself and son with
this article of warfare, and Mrs. Draper,
not satisfied with giving tho pewter to
iho general demand, some of it tho
greatest ornament of her old home, be
gan herself to melt her platters, pans
and dishes and transform them into the
required ammunition.
Winter was now approaching and with
it fears of the want of supplies for iha
army. Tho country could scarcely yiold
what was sure to be tho demand made
upon it should tho war continue. The
call? upon privnto benevolence became
imperative aud the question of clothing
for tho patriots, who must ."-pond tho
winter in camp, was a very momentous
one. Mrs. Draper was ono of the first to
seo this approaching difficulty, and be
came deeply interested and the most
active in efforts to render all tho aid in
her power, and inspired her neighbors
to do likewise. Her house had always
been an asylum for the destitute, aud
now her deepest sympathies wero enlist
ed for . tho newly forming army to
which (he hardships of war were almost
entirely unknown.
Sho considered their own possessions
only as a means of assisting her distress
ed country. The supply of cloth, woven
for use in her own family, was convert
ed into coats for soldiers by her daugh
ter and maid, under her direct super
vision, and sheets and blankets wero
fashioned into shirts for them also, and
even garments already made out of the
last .now weavings for herself were con
verted into such men's wear as was
most needed. These deeds of disinterest
en aouprosity wero scarcely known be
yond their own neighborhood. 'Tis said
she lived to tho age of 100 years, in this
same house, aud continued to befriend
tho destitute and needy wayfarer. Wo

LITTLE CUT AMBER NOW.
A Pipe Mouthpiece Three Inches Hons
Worth From S13 to Q1S.
"Is that real amber?" asked the man
as he hold up a pipe before iho dealer.
The pipo was a handsome brier wood ono.
and it had a clear amber mouthpiece
nearly three inches long. Tho prico mark
was $3.50.
"Yes, it's real amber," said tho deal
or. "That is, it's as real as any amber
you can get nowadays in a pipo. It is
not cut from a pieco of amber, but is
made by a molting process. Ninety per
cent of that mouthpiece is amber. The
other 10 per cent is a composition used
to harden it and make it stick together.
Some years ago amber was plenty, and
a pipo like that would havo a month
pieco of amber cut from a block and nev
er molted. But tho amber mines have
practically given out, and you can't get
any moro big pieces. A piece of cut am
ber as long as that on the pipo yon havo
there would be worth from $12 to $15,
and it wouldn't bo a bit better than tho
manufactured amber. It wouldn't bo so
durable and would not fool any better
between the teeth."
"I was in England a. year ago," said
a man who had listGiioa to the conver
sation, "and one of tho largest pipe
manufacturers there said ihat there hud
not been a piece of amber as long as
threo inches in the market for fiv8
years. "
"That's so," said tho pipo seller.
"You may get a pipo with a genuiue cut
amber mouthpiece in somo storas in
New Yoik, but if you look up its record
yon will Jind it was inado eight or ten
years ago and has been in stock. This
composition is used todny in expensive
meerschaums as Avell as in brier woods. "
