TALE WITH A MORAL

Which Teaches That You Had Better

And 1t came to pass at the place which

been run and manifested signs of great
Joy.
For" said he, 81 have bet 81 to win $500
if name the winners of the first five races
correctly, and 10! have already named
these three Alright"
After the fourth race came that youth
in tumult of doubt and questioning
Again they have run my way" he said,
"but am in sore perplexity. The men
who preside over the booth offer me 800
for my bet as it stands, and fancy much
that bird in the hand is pleasant, and yet

Now, when the fifth race had been run,
we, knowing this youth to have picked the
winner, approached him with congratula.
tions upon our lips and expecting greatly
that he would set 'em up. But his counte-
nance was sorrowful, and as we did him
the requested favor of kicking him all over
that county, he told us the sad truth of
the matter.
GAS you know" so the tale ran, 81 had
picked the odds on the favorite, and the
bookmakers had offered to compromise the
bet Then suddenly, while yet labored
with my doubts, there ran up to me GER
tain friend who said hastily that the favorite
was not decreed by the fates and the own
er's stable to win. This he knew, having
recently come from the paddock Where
upon, believing his story, returned to the
bookie and offered to settle my $500 to 81
bet. Which he finally did, paying me
sixty dollars for the bet. And then the
favorite romped home by three lengths.
Now! Kick me againp'
And the last state of this youth was
worse than the first, for he staked all his
sixty dollars on the horse that did not win
the sixth and last race, and he was con-
strained to borrow nickel to ride home
with. And the moral of this true tale is
not hard to find.-Chicago Tribune.

edy. Risky for them. For you, if
you have Catarrh, it's a certainty.
You're certain to be cured of it, or
to be paid $500. That's what they
offer, and in good faith - they cure
you, or pay you, no matter how bad
your case, or of how long standing.
But --is it so much of a risk ?
They have medicine that cures
Catarrh, not for time, but for all
time. They've watched it for years,
curing the most hopeless cases.
They know that in your case there's
every chance of success, almost no
chance of failure.
Wouldn't any one take such a
risk with such medicine
The only question is you
willing to make the test, if the
makers are willing to take the
risk
If so, the rest is easy. You pay
your druggist fifty cents and the
trial begins.
