A Romance.

She smiled-and l could not but love
But when from afar detected catdrrh,
No beauty my passion could move
In despair she sought doctors in vain.
Till She learned of "Humanitys boon;
Now her breath is is as sweet as the dew
Which falls upon roses in June.
Tonight, as We slt IN our home,
And kiss her sweet lips DER and o'ef,
We bless DR.. Sage in our bliss,
For the 10y that lie brought to our door,
There is no disease more trying to friend
ship than catarrh The constant effort to
clear the throat and nose, the foul breath,
all the features of the disease, make it as
much dreaded by the fr lend as by the vic
tim. Humanity has cause to bless DIR. Sage
for his "Catarrh Remedy" The manufac'
turers offer to forfeit $500 for any case they
cannot cure.

FAVORABLE TO HOME RULE
English Electors Show Their Confidence
in Gladstone and His Policy.
The Cirencester Seat in the House Taken from
the Tories and an Increased Liberal Major
ity Given in the Gateshead District.


Two Parliamentary Elections Last Week
Which Resulted i'm Liberal Victories.
Special 10 the indianapolis Journal
LONDON. Feb. 25.-Several straws ha
shown In the last week that the wind is
blowing favorabl2 for the home-rule bill.
On every division In the House the Glad
stonians have more than held their own, to
the intense disgust of the Tory editors. who
continue to thunder against the whips for
not rsllyin the full strength of the Union
ist opposition. Another subject of
GIadstonian rejoicing has been the
winning of the Cirencester seat in
the House. The victory 10 all the more sig
nificant as Harry Lawson, the GladstOnian
candidate. is personally so un popular that
be had undergone q series of mOrtify ing
defeats in other constituencies. He was
opposed. moreover, by a popular Tory who
was supported unanimously by the liquor
men. Despite these handicaps, Mr.. Law
son secured a majority of 242. As the can
vass was made almost entirely on the home
rule issue. and temporaneously with the
hOme-rule de hate In the House, there can
be NO doubt that the result was popular
Endorsement of the hOme-rule policy.
In Gateshead the home rule question had
ian candidate chosen on Friday. with the
utmost vigor. In q speech on Saturday
night he gave fair specimen of his un-
compromising scorn of the Tory programme
when he denounced the Ashbourne act as a
sham and farce; described tho
landlords in. Ireland as pack of
robbers, and proclaimed his con-
viction that the House of Lords must be-
abolished within three years. After all
these declarations MIR. Allan was able to
treble the GladstOnian majority. Both
elections have been interpreted by the Lib
erals to mean that Mr.. Gladstone has gained
strength since the introduction of the
home-rule bill. and in view of the events
in question, both In and out Of the House
of Commons, there is little doubt that the
prospects of the home-rule bill are brig ter
than its best friends dared to hope three
