not resent such an expression would

and thus effects radical and permanent cure
of catarrh. Those who suffer from Its varied
symptoms uncomfortable flow from the nose,

Serious consequences are liable to ensue II
catarrh Is not attended to in season. The
disease frequently destroys the sense Of smell
and often developes into bronchitis or pulmo-

of consumption originate in catarrh. Hoods

effected remarkable cures Of consumption

HOW cracked and poor his laughter

How dulled his eyes. once flashing

But still courtly pathos clings
About his bent and withered form.
Tonight where mirth and music

His wrinkle cheek. his locks Of snow,
Cleans near the grandsons Of the

WouLDN'T TAKE His ADVICE

WOULDN'T TAKE HIS ADVICE
One day soon after Pope's defeat
at second Bull Run, and Chantily,
a private soldier belonging to an
Ohio regiment sought an interview
with his captain, and announced
that he had plan for a military
campaign which must certainly re-
suit in crushing out the rebellion.
The officer very naturally inquir-
ed for particulars, but the soldier
refused to reveal them. and asked
for a chance to lay his plans be
fore Pope himself. After some
delay he was given pass to head
quarters. He did not get to see
Pope, but after the chief OF staff
had coaxed and promised and
threatened for quarter Of an hour
the Buckeye stood up and replied:
well, sir, my plan is for John
Pope and Bob Lee to swap com
mands, and if we don't lick the
South inside Of sixty days you
may shoot me for patent hay
fork swindler.'
When he returned to camp he
was naturally asked what success
