The disease is particularly virulent

confined to those advanced in years,

Doctors say that the epidemic is in

"7Here's something behind it,"
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of it,"
But it's a plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. 10 it's mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. It has a record that
goes back for % years. 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With a Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this ofer?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DR.. Sage's Remedy.

Or struggling madly for their lives
On the high bank stood group of
farm laborers with their wives, all of
whom for the last FIVE minutes had
been ringing their hands and screaming,
crying, praying in impotent anguish,
as they saw little six-year-old Charlie
Vance sitting astride piece of board
already a hundred yards from shore
ard being rapidly carried farther out
toward the turbulent molstrean cur
rent where he could not have maintained
his hold for moment.
Not man of the party could swim a
stroke, d, indeed, it looked ds if GER
tain death must .overtake even the
strongest swimmer who should be fool
hardy enough to brave the debris-en-
numbered torrent now sweeping along
with resis.less force toward Lake Erie.
1t was while in this state of helpless
terror that one of the women had called
for John Lee, hardy, young Maine
fishH man, then busted further down
stream, whose verdancy in all farm
land ways had heret ofore exposed him
to not a little ride ule-good-natured

threatened to get even'' with his
prosecutor, thought of none of these
things now, as he saw the deadly dan

slipped unobserved from her side, gone
some distance upstream and, boylike,
set himself afoat on a fragment of

err have lived to reach it if John Lee,
now an efficient farm hand and at that
moment blowing in the next field, had
not fortunately heard the cry and flown
to her rescue
Kicking off his thick-soled shoes and
snatching up a heavy oak stake, he ran
with all speed toward the point of
danger, meantime shouting: "Oh, Mrs.
M drop your shawl! drop your
shawl!' But she, poor girl, was too
much frightened to comprehend the or
der, and, although she still kept up her
pace, it was extremely doubtful whetll-
er John could arrive in time to save
her from being impaled on the horns
of the savage brute, which now, with
lowered head and blood-shot eyes, was
fast gaining on her.
However, it was not for nothing that
John had trained himself into being
the fastest runner in his native village,
and never in his whole life had he run
as now; for was not precious life the
prize of victory and desolated home
the penalty of defeat?
Scarce twenty feet of space separ-
ated the young wife from her maddened
pursuer when John, with fierce shout
of challenge, sprang over the fence and
stood between. Nimbly avoiding the
instant thrust of the deadly horns, he
brought down the ponderous club with
tremendous force upon the bulls neck
just behind the head.
Nothing made of flesh and blood
might withstand such blow, and the
great beast reeled dizzily from side to
side. Then, with lightning quickness,
the stout young fellow dealt stroke

enemy, stunned and bleeding, to the
