"She has catarrh so bad it is unpleasant
to be near her. She has tried a dozen
things and nothing helps her. am sorry,

less disagreeable for one to be around her."
Now if she had used DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, there would have been nothing of
the kind said, for it will cure catarrh every
time.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.

The telephone girl had been asleep for
long time, when somebody called.
Looking at the switch board she saw
that No. iii was down, and leisurely
replied .
"Hello, Doldoodlc ~
"Hello. ducky," he replied, and she
made faces at the key board a long time
before she paid any more attention to
him, then said:
ooh, you bald-headed old sinner, what
do you want?"
cdr. Hishfyer. No. 2222."
"Hello!'
"Hsllo, HighHyer! Ny wife is not
very we'll tonight. She has severe
pain in the back of her neck, and COM
plains of sort of gonensss in the abdo-
men,"
"Got malarial collie, guess
II think SO. What shall do to relieve
her ?''
Here the mischievous girl switched on
machinist who was telling the owner
Of 4 saw mill what he thought allied his
boiler, and the answer to Doldoodle' S
question was as follows:
Il think she is covered with scales in
side, about an inch thick. Let her cool
down during the night, and before she
fires up in the morning take hammer
and pound her thoroughly all over and
then take hose and hitch it on the fire
plug and wash her out. I wouldn't be
surprised if she is half full of mud, be-
sides the scales. When you get through
ill her up with cold water and build a
fire under her, and if she don't get hot
enough to steam well in half an hour
III eat her."
1t is now reported that DR.. Highhyer's
professions of temperance are a delusion
and snare, and that he gets awfully
drunk, and nobody patronizes him any
more; and that he has had No 1922 taken
out of his house, because he is no longer
able to pay rent for it.

A Sneezing Bride.

A most inopportuns dislocation of the
jaw is recorded at a recent wedding. It
seems that during the performance of
the ceremony the bride sueezed so vio-
lently as to dislocate her jaw at the
critical moment when she should have
pronounced solemn oui (yss). AS she
was unable to articulate the word it was
found necessary for the whole party to
repair to surgeon before the ceremony
could be completed.

Something for the Baby.

What a terrible atiiiction about the house
is a cross, crying baby. A young man on
the very edge of matrimony might easily
be frightened from his purpose by having
too much of that sort of music ut the homes
Of his married friends. Yet babies cry
commonly only when they are sick. One
teaspoonful of Parker's Tonic. given the
little one, will bring rest and sleep to the
baby and all in the house. Only 50 cents,
at druggists.

Although the Maryland Legislature will
not meet until January, already speculs-
ton is rife and canvassing active for posts

tiles point to Gen. Joseph B. Seth, of Tai

man of Charles county, if he concludes to
make contest, will have many friends
In the Senate, the contest will probably
be between Senator Warfeld Of Howard
county and Senator Hayes of Baltimore
city, though Senator Peter of Montgomery
and Senator Bowlus of Frederick may each
have support that may prove dangerous
in certain contingencies. In respect to
minor offices, the situation in the House
at present is remarkable. Mr. Moore, the
chief clerk, died few months ago, and
DR.. Cole, the reading clerk, has been elect
ed to Congress, new material will have to
be utilized for the places they recently so
ably filed, and there is nothing publicly
known to indicate who will be called to
the work. The Senate will probably find
its old officers on hand ready to respond
to the call if extended Cecil Democrat.
