pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has

that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is

upon the blood and surfaces of

A Question Of letter..

Mr.. Labouchere gives publicity TO
the grievance of some lady who had
occasion TO consult by letter a Lon
don specialist who had several times
attended her. She was much an.
noyed on hearing q few days later
that in the medico's absence from
home her letters had been opened by
his wife in the ordinary course of
business. Mr.. Labouchere thinks
that doctors have no right to hand
over their correspondence to third
parties, even their wives, whom
their patients may not desire to take
into their confidence.
Well, there are two sides to the
question, says a London paper. 1t is
quite right that doctors should be as
inscrutable as the Sphinx with re-
gard to the privacy Of their patients
affairs, and If it were known that a
nan was addicted to babbling he
would rightly be placed under taboo.
But when a man goes away from
home for a few days. as 60 he must
occasionally, his letters have to re-
ceive attention.
1t Is quite conceivable that in
urgent the delay in forwarding
a communication TO the absentee
might entail serious consequences,
which could be obviated if the letter
were opened on receipt, and who,
pray, is there more likely to be dis

Allen Of Mississippi is everywhere
known as Private Allen, but II is
not as generally known how he OBJ
tanned this title. 1t was when he
first ran for congress. He stumped
the district with his competitor, a
General Tucker, who opened the
campaign with a rhetorical rhapsody
in which he alluded to his war serv-
ices and particularly described a bat
tie in which he had commanded the
Confederate side, beginning. Eel.

tent on the mountain side awaiting
the battle on the morrow
When he had finished, Allen got
up and said: Friends and fellow
citizens-What General Tucker told
you about his sleeping in the tent
that night before the battle is true.
l know, for ! was guarding that tent
all night long in the cold and wet.
Now, l want to say to all of you who
were generals in the war and slept
at night in your guarded tents, vote
for him. But all you fellows that
guarded the generals tents in wet
and cold, like me, you vote for Phi
vate Allen" Allen was triumphantly
elected and has been Private since.

SCHOOL ELECTION.
The Ladies Have Their Say in This Im-

Ed. YELLOWSTONE JOURNAL:
The education Of our children is GER
tainly a subject Of a much importance
to their mother and sisters as to their
fathers and brothers. This being so the
question naturally arises, Why do we
women not take interest enough in these
educational matters to vote regularly at
our school elections? II is really a con-
undrum, and while no one can condemn
US as beings devoid Of interest and
opinion in connection with our public
schools, one 10 still more reluctant to al
low the solution Of the question to be
attributed to a lack Of grit" on our
part to walk up and drop our ballots into
the box. Considered from all points we
are perhaps compelled to put this con-
struction on the matter. We all know
how repulsive it would be to mix up in
the motley throng Of men which gather
around the polls OF their general political
elections, and no doubt it il with similar
feelings that we neglect our duty 10
away from the school elections.
But it lisa mistake. Our school elections
are orderly and quiet. Now let us lend
our presence at the school house on Sat
urday next, and at each subsequent
and 80 preserve this order and
quiet. Our presence will help greatly in
doing this. and at the same time we will
be doing a duty to ourselves and to our
little western city in casting our individ-
ual ballot slips.
