Rather risk,

the offer that's made by the pro.
prletors Of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem.
edy. Risky for them. For vou. if
you have Catarrh, it's 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 I?
They have a medicine that cures
Catarrh, not for a 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 are 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.

LAWYER DEWITraC. BOLTON, of Pater-
son, N. j., has under advisement the
application of woman for divorce
from dead man. Her first husband
enlisted in the war and was killed. She
married again, and at the death of her
second husband she ascertained that
her second marriage deprived her of
the benefits of the pension law. Sub
sequently she learned that her second
marriage was bigamous, husband No.
having wife living at the time of his
marriage to her. This marriage, she
thinks, can be set aside as null and void,
and then she will be able to procure a
widows pension.

MEXICAN laborers while digging in
the extension of the Santa Cruz canal
came upon one of the strangest of the old
Aztec cities. They struck the first ruin
about twenty feet below the surface.
Everything about the old building had
been wonderfully preserved, owing to
the alkali in the sand. The first build
ing consisted of a triangular structure
about three hundred feet in length and
two hundred feet in width. The roof,
which had doubtless been thatch, had
caved in, but the wooden pieces by
