A horse belonging to a grocer had
been severely injured. How severe and
how terrible his suffering must have
been vas not fully known till devel-
oped by a post-mortcm examination.
On the last morning Of the faithful
creatures life he heard the whistle
sound for seven o'clock. This was the
signal which usually brought his mas

strength he walked out, ~unbiddcn, and

There's nothing hft
of Catarrh, when you use DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. With the poison
Gus, irritating snufrs and strong,
caustic solutions, a good deal is
left. They may, perhaps, stop it
for a time, but there's danger of
driving it to the lungs. They work
on false principles.
But Dir. Sage's Remedy cures it,
no matter how bad the case, or of
how long standing. Not only Ca
tarrh itself, but Catarrhal Headache,
Cold in the Head -everything
catarrhal in its nature. The worst
cases yield to its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties.
So will yours. You may not be-
lievc it, but the proprietors of DIR.
Sagc's Remedy do.
And to prove it they mako you
this offer:
If they can't cure you, they'll
pay you $500 in cash. It's a bust
ness proposition from a responsible
house.
But do you think they'd make
it if they, and you, couldn't depend
upon their medicine?

WOMEN REeeARs.
The Baby Proves the Key That Unloeks
Human Nature.


Human Nature.
There are some a~vocations in which
men succeed better than women, but
this does not hold true in the profess
sion of begging. Women make more
successful beggars than men because
they appeal more forcibly to the sym
pathy of the public. What al be
more fetching than the sad, haggard
face of a supposed-to-be starving
woman holding in her arms a weak,
helpless, innocent baby!
Ay, the baby is the key that unloclSs
the hearts and purses and sends the
coins rafting into the tin cup. The
beggar-man by his sex is handi'
capped. lie can not employ the strong
est of all drawing cards, a baby. And
so while the beggar-woman woos and
wins fortune with only a sorry face and
a little bundle of ragged clothes through
which the public may discern the wan
and pinched features of n baby, the
bcggar-man must, if he would become
a strong competitor for business, so to
the expense of purchasing a hand-organ
or something equally as attractive.
Furthermore, he must placard himself
in a manner to excite the sympathy of
the public. The fact that he is blind or
crippled or deaf and dumb must be her.
aided to the world. Sometimes these
printed efforts to awaken sympathy
would be almost amusing if the subjects
treated were not so painful. One of
Chicago's hand-organ players displays
the following notice:

men, | am a poor blind man who los! my sight

Another who seems to have forgotten
that life is short and that the people OF
to-day want everything in a condensed,
boiled-down form bulletins the story Of
his unhappy condition in the following
