DR.. Sage's treatment of Catarrh in the
Head is far superior to the ordinary, and
when directions are reasonably well
followed, results in q permanent cure.
Don't longer be indifferent to the veri-
fed claims of this unfailing Remedy.
The worst forms of Catarrh disap-
pear with the use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. Its mild, soothing. cleansing
and healing properties effect a perfect
and permanent cure, no matter how bad
the case, or of how long standing. It's
q remedy that succeeds where every
thing else has failed. Thousands of
such cases can be pointed out. That's
the reason its makers back their faith in
it with money. They offer $500 reward
for case Of Catarrh which they can
not cure.
It's a medicine that allows them to
take such risk.
Doesn't common sense lead you to
take such a rnedicine?

WOMEN AS COMPOSERS.

In All the Higher Efforts of Mind They
Are Far hyperion to Men.
1t might have been thought that if
practice gives perfection women would
have excelled her male counterpart, not
only as an executant, but as composer
of music, declares the London Lancet.
But in instrumental performances she
cannot for a moment compare with
him, while as a composer she is no
where. The repertoire of music, from
the dawn of the art to the present day,
owes simply nothing to her. Consider
Ing the time she has spent over it, her
failure to evolve new harmonies, or
even new melodies, is one of the ex-
traordinary enigmas in the history of
the fine arts.
Where, in ancient times or in modern,
can woman, with all her practice, be
found to have created one chef-d' oeuvre
In music? The inference implied by
the negative answer to such a question
seems simply this: That in the higher
efforts of mind-even in those where
the admixture of an emotional element,
rs in music, might be supposed to give
her the advantage-women is inferior
to her male counterpart, and cannot, by
any educational forcing system, be
made equal to him, deficient as she is in
the physiological conditions of ideo-

He Was Regular Treat to Moneyless
Debtors.
In the early days of his artistic
career, JONES' as we will call him, had
little business sense to balance his bud
ding genius. A big, green country boy,
he had been taken into the studio of a
prominent artist in the dual capacity of
student and general utility man.
One day his instructor gave him some
bills to collect, laying special stress on
the largest one, which must be paid
that day, giving him ten dollars to use
as change, and telling him to be quick
about it. Hours passed by before he
again appeared.
What kept you SO long?" inquired
the artist.
'Well, I waited and waited for 'em
to pay me-, said the boy, land finally
asked 'em for it,
"Oh! confound it, of course you had
to ask for it, Where is the money!"
"Well, they couldn't pay to-day, they
said"
Brown paid his, didn't hep"
''No; they didn't any on 'em pay"

foremost American artists, and a

WILLING TO RISK IT.

She Was Getting Too Old to be Particu-
Day was trembling on the edge of
night.
The sun had dropped behind the hills
and splashed the sky with red.
For two hours Susan and Henry had
been talking.
Gentle reader, do you know what
they were talking about?
No?
Then guess.
Suffice it to say whatever it was an
AMIGA BILE conclusion had been reached.
Susan was sweet-faced and tender,
and the amethystine tints of the even
ing touched her face softly and the fad
ing light threw halo about her head.
Yet she was no spring chicken.
But what odds?
Henry had passed all the years of his
bachelorhood in a clearinghouse and
could not have told spring chicken from
old hen anyhow.
He folded her to his throbbing bosom,
and then slowly unfolded her.
I'VE shall be so happy" he whispered
Yes, Henry" was her murmured re-
spones, land so harmonious. What
ever you say 1 shall believe, now,
henceforth and forever"
He held her close once more.
