GUMPTION.
NE docs not have gumption till one has been
properly cheated." Persons of gumption are
using Ivory Soap, women who have trusted
themselves too near the precipice of false
economy and who can now appreciate the true econo
my in a soap made of pure vegetable oils and other
high -class ingredients, but made in such quantity as
to bring the price within the reach of the very poorest
family. Indeed it is the very poor who most need it, for
they can least afford the extravagance of common soap.

statuto clearly barred Admiral Dewey
but when ho learnod that bo was to bo
shut out bo went home in a rago, and
his presidential boom was launched al
most immediately thereafter.
Tho season is a little backward, and
tho Hryanites aro praying that crops
this yenrmuy bea failure. Short crops
would bo a calamity to tho country, but
it is only on calamity that tho Bryniiites
bnvo any chance for victory An opi-lunik-
of Asiatic oholeraoryi'llow fever
would pluaso tho Democratic boosos at
litis Unit;. The prosperity and tint gen
oral good fottunu which tho United
States has had over since tho Kcpulili
can party camo into power has been
very demoralizing to tho men who will
assemble in Knnsns City a few weeks
hence to put up a national ticket. Tho
chances, however, a to that tho season's
backwardness will not materially re

The famiuo area in India is about
oTiO.OOU square miles, and extends over
the central, south, and northwestern
provinces. No pen could describe the
awful horrors. Some of tho things
proved by photography aro too realist!,
cnlly horrible to be reproduced iu any
publication, and wo only print a few of
tho less frightful photographs taken by
tho missionaries, because many have
not bolievcd that such an awful condi
tion could exist in this century of plen
ty and prosperity. Emaciated beyond
belief, tho starring nativts crawl to
tho houso of the nearest sahib, usually
a missionary, to crave food; but 00,000,
000 mouths have to bo fed. Fifteen
dollars a year will feed a hindoo, yet
oven this pitiablo allowance is not to
bo had. The causes of tho famine are
the failuro of tho crops, the refusal of
the native princos to allow their bunt
ing jungles to bo converted into for
tilo agricultural regions, and tho mys
terious disappearance of a special fam
ino fund of 100,000,000. collected by
tho government after tho famine of
1877.
Incidents ol Every Day Life Which Very
Few People Stop to Think About on
Account of Their Littleness
Cullens Bros, enormous show was
here Monday It was so enormous
that all the Ked Cloud girls got stuck
on the show people from tho manago
ment down. Of course wo don't blame
the girls. We neither have nny sympa
thy for the boys who got kissed olT and
then got sore. The way to do boys is
to take your girls to the show and then
you can see them home in the proper
manner. Don't expect the girls to go
to the show alone, pay their own way,
and then expect to catch on at the en
trance to the large pavillion after tho
show is jver Talking about the show

Elmer Crone's face "redden" when the
girl danced the Spanish dance. When
the mule rider came out the smile on
Carl Studt's face broadened and he ex
claimed it's n Dutch woman. John
Polnicky felt happy over tho only good
feature of the show when tho little dog
danced tho hooche-kooche. Leslie

he could bo brought in close contact
with tho "gals breath." Tho familiar
form of Walter Koby was observed at

NOTICE TO EGG CONTESTANTS.
Tho peace envoys of the Boer repulic

Lord Roberts has tlnally como to tho
conclusion that ho cannot sot the duto
at which tho Boer-Briton war will end.
As tho nation grows older now issues
aro born of timo and progress, and old
issues perish. This proposition, strange
aiit may soem in theso timos, is from
tho democratic national platform of
1881.
Senator Clark of "Montana, caused
somewhat of 11 sensation iu tho senate
last Tuesday by resicning his claims to
fie Montnna senatorship. The final
voto on the question as to whether ho
was entitled to a seat in tho senate or
not was to bo taken tho same afternoon.

en now doctors know of no remedy for this fearful malady : while admitting it to be
a blood disease, they Rtill insist that there is no hope outside of a surgical operation, and advise you to have the Cancer cut out,
but at the Mine time cannot assure you that it will not return. You may cut or draw out the sore, but another will come in
its place, for the disease is in the blood is deep-seated and destructive, and beyond the reach of the surgeon's knife or
caustic, flesh-destroying plasters. The blood must be purified and strengthened, the system relieved of all poisonous, effete

S. S. S. is the only medicine that can overcome this powerful and contaminating poison nnd force it out of the blood. It
