a M and elegantly dressed lady
whom sbody knew walked into the OF
fee of e Palace the other night, says
San Fancisco paper. A big CROWD
was around. The place was throngeo
with Eastern editors, and outside Dor
dering the circular driveway there was
rattle and crashing of baggage, for
hacks and carriages had just arrived
from the overland train with passengers.
Over dozen persons stood before the
desk, valises and satchels in hand, wait
ing to be registered. Clerks stood. pen
in hand, or disappeared and then came
into view again like automatons On an
oiled track.
The lady asked for messenger,
having penciled her name in a brief
note on a card. She was in hurry
and deemed the matter in hand OF prime
Importance. Slight imperiousness was
noticed in her manner. 1t grew stronger
as she paused there for the messenger
to come. Then, as if she would end it
all at once, and with the words 81 will
ring for one myself" depicted on her
face, she reached for the bell and gave
it cordial punch.
Utter darkness fell upon the bustling
throngs throughout the building. Her
hand had fallen upon the electric key
board and every light went out. There
were speculations of astonishment and
chagrin, and the stiffness was broken at
intervals by dozen questions.
The clerk sprsng to the seat Of the
difficulty, and when at length the light
was turned on the crowd noticed the
figure of the impetuous lady vanishing
as quietly and rapidly as possible from
their astonished gaze. She never came
back.

The toron9 sody,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. The poisonous, irrita-
ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions,
Screams" balms and the like may,
perhaps, palliate for time. But
thcy may drive the disease to the
lungs The wrong way is full of
danger.
The right way is n proved one.
It's with DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. It cures, perfectly and per-
mancntly, by its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties,
the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
1t has proved itself right, thou
sands of times, when everything
else has failed.
And this makes its proprietors
willing to prove that it's the right
thing for you, no matter how bad
your case or of how long standing.

They mean it.
