NEVER-FAILING RELIEF
AFFORDED BY
SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE

TT IL fact that can be substantilied by the most
i respectable testimonials ever offered in favor Of
any proprietary medicine, that the RADICAL CURE
FOR CATARRH does in every case afford instant and
permanent relief No matter of how long standing
or how severe the disease the first dose gives such
evidence OF its value in the treatment of Catarrah
affections that confidence IL at once felt in its abl-
ty to do all that is claimed for it. The testimony
of physicians, druggists and patients is unanimous
in point of responsibility superior to any eyerbe-
fore obtained In favor of Il popular remedy. The
proprictors therefore, may justly feel proud of the
position the RADICAL CURE has attained and believe
1t worthy Of its reputation.

Indignant TailOrs.

The drOllest disturbance that ever
took place within the walls of theater
happened at the Haymarket in 1905.
Years previous, Foote had produced at
that house burlesque piece, the author
of which was never known, entitled "The
Tailors; or, a Tragedy for Warm Wealth
En-" The satire of the piece gave UNI
bragg to the craft after which It was
called. In the year above named Dow
ton announced its revival for his benefit.
The bills were scarcelr issued when he
received letter requesting him to change
the play. as it was highly offensive to the
trade, and promising ii he would do so
he should be assured full house. Dow
ton took nonotice of this communication.
upon which the knights OF the needle
waxed wroth, called meeting, and
swore they would oppose linn with might
and main. Menacing epistles now pour
ed in upon him, in which be was inform
ed that $1,000 tailors would attend the
theater to boot down the play. One who
signed himself death; wrote to the
proprietors to say that 10000 more could
be mustered if necessary. Dowton laugh
ed at these threats, and persisted in his
programme. But when the night came
he soon discovered they were not idle
ones. The brotherhood had contrived to
monopolize not only every seat in the
gallery save two, but to fill every other
part of the house. Dowton's appearance
was the signal for the uproar to begin;
pair OF shears was thrown at him; he
offered 500 to any person who would
point but the man who threw them. His
offer was received with yell and show
er Of other missiles. Not word would
the audience listen to. In vain did he
now offer to change the piece to The
Village lawyer they would accept no
compromise, and the uproar within was
echoed by crowd without who could no
gain admittance. The riot now becamt

An Indians Gratitude,

There resides in Wichita, Kansas, a
widow by the name Of Mrs. A. Fl. Gibson.
She is of slight stature, and very quiet
and retiring, and with her daughter car
ries on the profession Of miI!iner and
mantua maker. During the late visit of
the Indians to that town, and as the sons
of the forest were N single file passing
along the street, Cheyenne brave sud-
denly broke ranks, and, rushed into
the store where Mrs. Gibson is employed,
put his arms about Mrs. Gibson, patted
her with his hand and i'll broken English
gave expression to great JOY and satisfac-
ton
All the ladies in the store were, of
course, nearly frightened out of their wits,
while the blanketed savage kept reitera-
ting: "Good squaw!" Heap good
squaww The sequal Is not uninteresting.
Previous to the great Indian massacre Of
1862, Mrs, Gibson, then Mrs. Southworth,
lived alone on the Minnesota frontier.
One day squaw came to her house and
made her understand that she wanted
soup, after obtaining which she carried
it away to the woods. For several days
she came regularly on the same errand.
A few days before the bloody massacre,
in which so many settlements we're wiped
out, and in which so many men, women
and children were ,uthlessly butchered,
two or three indians with two squaws
came to Mrs. Gibson's and asked for
dinner.

that no harm could befall her. Of course
she could Only submit. and as she was
being carried to her destination during
the next day. saw the burning homes,
fleeing settlers and scenes that will new
er he effaced from her memory. They
kept strict watch over her for two weeks,
after which two squsws took her to with
in a few miles OF the fort, forty miles
distant, put her down in the road and
told her when dark came to goin, which
that the soup she had daily made was for
sick Chief, Monoway, who recovered,
and who had determined to save her and
hers.
When she returned to her home the
next spring, after several months absence,
she found everything just as she had left
It, Not COW or even a chicken was
missing, but everything had been cared
for, fed and protected during the long
winter by some Indians who had been
detailed for that porpose, and who I'M
mediately relinauished everything to
her peaceful possession. Mrs. Glbson's
visitor was one of the party, and, in spite
of the time intervening, Immediately
recognized her, AID expressed his salts
