A DEATH LEAP.

A Woman and Child Were Killed While
Three Other Little Ones Were Manned.
BERLIN, April A dwelling house
in POsen caught fire last night and be-
fore all the occupants could get out the
staircases were burned away.
In the fourth story were a woman and
five children, and the only way for
them to attempt to escape was to iumu
from the windows. The crowd in the
street procured q blanket. which was
spread open and held in position by a
number Of men, and the woman and
children were told to jump.
The woman jumped first, struck the
blanket with such force that twas torn
from the grasp Of the men and she was
dashed to the stone pavement and was
instantly killed
One Of the children then jumped and
met the same fate, it seeming to be i'm.
possible for the men to hold the blanket
firmly enough to break the fall.
The other three children escaped
death, but each of them received iniur-
les which will probably prove fatal.

Rather risky
the offer that's made by the pro-
pnetors of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
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 g.?
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 q
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
