BAD BLOOD,
BAB COMPLEXION
The skin is the seat of an almost end-
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfiguring pimples.
Eternal vigilance Im the price
of a beautiful complexion
when such remedies are relied on.

Emperor William Likes Ham and
Eggs.
Emperor William of Germany
was initiated into the mysterious
merits of a Smithfield ham several
years ago during the ceremonies at-
tending the opening of the great
canal at Kiel, writes William E.
Curtis in the Chicago Record-Her-
ald. Capt' Robley Evans, who is
sometimes known as “Fighting
Rob,” because of his picturesque
profanity and the peculiar manner
in which he shivers his timbers,
was present on that occasion as the
representative of the Government
df the United States, and' in the
course of events invited the Em-
peror to dine on board the flagship
New York. It was purely an
American dinner, and a Smithfield
ham occupied the center of the ta-
ble, roasted to the proper degree
and stuck full of cloves. William
the Sudden was helped to ham
four or five times, and apologized
for the compliment by saying that
it was the best he had ever tasted.
“Why can we not have such
hams in Germany?” he exclaimed.
“There would be no trouble
about it,” retorted the diplomatic
Evans, “if your majesty would re-
move the restrictions from Ameri-
can pork.”
The Emperor’s suite turned
pale with alarm at this bold thrust
of the Yankee sailor, but his ma-
jesty smiled and listened to the
dissertation on the subject of hams
and the peculiarities of the Smith-
field branch Captain^ Evans ex-
plained, by the way, that hams are
often spoiled in the cooking.
“This one certainly was not,”
returned the Emperor, “and I
would like to compliment your
cook.” .
The Captain’s cook on board the
New York was a colored man
named George, who has followed
the fortunes of Fighting Bob for
many years, and when he was
summoned to meet an Emperor he
responded in his white cap and
jacket and apron.
“George” said the captain, “the
Emperor of Germany desires to
compliment you upon your cook-
ing.”
George grinned and bowed with
the grace of a Chesterfield and

THE MESSENGER: ROCKDALE, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1901.
when the Emperor extended his
imperial hand for him to kiss,
George, not being in the habit of
meeting Emperors, grasped it
firmly in his own and gave it a
hearty shake. The Emperor’s
aides almost fainted at this uncon-
scious exhibition of les majeste.
Captain Evans tried to hide his
amusement and the Emperor, who
enjoyed it most of all, tossed a
big gold piece to the darky as the
latter retired.
The consequence was a petition
to the captain of the New York
that a plate of ham and eggs
should be sent aboard the imperi-
al yacht Hohenzollern at break-
fast time the next morning, and
not only the next morning, butr
every morning thereafter as long
as the Emperor remained at Kiel,
a boat was sent over for Staith-
field ham and American eggs.
Since then William II. has had
nothing but Smithfield hams upon
his table, ordering them through
the German embassy at Washing-
ton!

Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic cures
Malaria. *
A Traveling Man
confided to us the other day that he
used Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in his
family and needed no other remedy,
as it seemed to keep the entire family
so perfectly free from Constipation, In-
digestion, Sick Headache and Stomach
Troubles. Sold by all druggists.
He could “Sabe.”
A well-known Pacific Coast at-
torney, who prides himself upon
his handling of Chinese witnesses,
was defending a railway damage
case. The lawyer is a bit near-
sighted, so failed to note when a
Chinaman came upon the stand
that the witness’ clothing was of
finer texture than the ordinary
coolie’s. ......i ■ '
Instead of following the usual
questions as to name, residence,
if the nature of an oath was under-
stood, etc., the following dialogue
ensued:
“What is your name?”
“Kee Lung.”
“Youdive in San Francisco?
“Yes.”
“You sabe God?”
“Mr. Attorney, if you mean ‘Do
I understand the entity of our
Creator?’ I will simply say that
Thursday evening next I shall ad-
dress the State Ministerial Asso-
ciation on the subject of ‘The Di-
vinity of Christ,’ and shall be
pleased to have you attend.”
When order was restored the
examination proceeded on ordinary
lines, but to the, day of his death
the lawyer will never cease to be
asked if he “sabe God?”

The other night we arose in the
dark to get something for our stom-
ach’s sake: we had no trouble in
finding the bottle and treating our-
selves to a good, long, lingering
swig, sinking back into the arms of
Morpheus with a genial feeling of
warmth pervading sur whole
sworn circulation. Tn the morning
we were much put out to learn we
had drained a bottle of aqua-fortis

Reports from other parts of the
county state that the boll weevil
poisoning after Malley’s direction
has been carried on with good re-
sults, and cotton is heavy loaded
with sound squares and blooms.
The Cummings picnic committee
has engaged the Davilla band to
play for the occasion on July 4th.
The Davilla band is young yet, but
can make some excellent music,
and will attract a large crowd.
The sharpshooters, a cotton pest
are here by the thousands. Prof.
Mally says they will do cotton very
great injury unless checked. He
thinks that the same solution used
for the boll weevil will also kill
sharpshooters.

Secretary Hay’s Son Killed.
Adelbert Hay, former consul at
Pretoria. South Africa, and the
eldest son of Secretary of State
John Hay, fell from a window in
the third story of the New Haven
House New Haven, Conn., shortly
before 2:30 o’clock Saturday
morning and was instantly killed.
The dead man was a graduate
of Yale, of the class of ‘98 and his
death occured on the eve of the
University commencement which
brought him here yesterday and in
which by virtue of his class office
would have been one of the leaders.
The details of the terrible accident
will never be known. It is gen-
erally supposed that after going to
his room at the New Haven House
Mr. Hay went to the window for
a second and sitting still, he dozed
off and fell to the pavement below,
a fall of sixty feet. The fall re-
sulted in instant death and within
fifteen minutes the body had been
identified as that of young Hay,
President Loubet to Americans.

The shy and retiring disposition
of Hawthorne has often been com-
mented on. Yet on occasion he
could be quite as clever with his
tongue as with his pen, as is evi-^
denced by this story from Forward:*
It happened in England. Mr.
Hawthorne was a guest at a formal
dinner given to one of the foreign
embassadors. The conversation had
turned upon an autograph letter of
the queen which happened to bo
clumsily expressed.
“What do you think of the
queen’s letter, Mr. Hawthorne ?” he
was asked.
The man of letters was perplexed,
but he replied that it showed very
kind feeling.
“No,” persisted ttye wicked inter-
rogator, “but what, do you think of
the style ?”
Mr. Hawthorne was equal to him.
“The queen has a perfect right to
do as she pleases with her own Eng-
lish,” he replied.

To get a really good cap
of coffee you'll have to start
back of the actual making;
you'll have to look to the
roasting and the grinding.
In ARBUCKLES* you have
a coffee that's scientifically
roasted, and delivered to you
with all the pores of the berry
hermetically sealed. You'’re
sure of a good cup of coffee
because all the coffee flavor
-and aroma are kept intact
until you want it. The fame
of ARBUCKLES’ induced
other coffee packers to put
out imitations of it. These
imitations cost the grocer
(and you) a cent a pound
less than ARBUCKLES’.
But don’t be tempted to buy
a package of some other
coffee when you can get
