F. : . .
There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton Of the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
Is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.

A European Idea.

One of the most characteristic features
of European prisons as whole is that
prisoners are allowed to have portion
of their earnings. This system prevails
in France, Germany. Italy, Switzerland,
Russia, Sweden, Denmark and other
countries. The amount earned by the
prisoners varies considerably where it
depends upon piece work. In France the
average salary of the prisoner is 35 cents
day. Of this amount the prisoner is
allowed to spend one-haf while in pris-
on for supplementary food and clothing,
postage, ETC.. though no expenditure is
made without the approval of the ad-
ministration. The other half is reserved
until the time of his discharge. A three
years prisoner has to his credit on leav-
ing an average Of $50, a four years
prisoner $40 and five years prisoner
about $9O.-Chicago Record.

An English journal prints the follow
ing: "a very disagreeable habit of the
king of Portugal is that he kisses his
male friends. The princes of our reign
ing house all do this, and of course it is
common enough abroad; but, thank
heaven, SO far this nasty looking Ono
matter how really innocent) habit has
never become fashionable in this coun-
try. 1t is Of course all mere question
of etiquette, but let MS fervenply pray
that Englishmen when they meet with
or part from their friends will never get
to think it the correct thing to kiss one
another. Etiquette in parting varies all
over the world. In America the men
shake hands and the women kiss one an
other and sometimes cry, for the Amer
ican ladies are champion weepists. In
France and in Italy even more the wom-
en- weep, while the men kiss and hug
one another almost as vigorously as if
they were in a wrestling match. An
English woman shakes hands with q
man Of her acquaintance, while in Spain
she always gives her hand to be kissed.
It makes the same sensation in Madrid
for man to take a woman's hand and
shake it as it would in London for a for
eigner to seize lady 8 hand and kiss it. :"

Squire Woodman of the Fourth Chi

Cleveland to Inaugurate System of Gas
solene Vehicles With Cheap Fare.
A mammoth project for the transpor-
tation of passengers through the streets
of Cleveland is now under way. The
plan embraces the practical use of horse
less carriages on time schedules, with
various lines in operation over regular
systems of streets. A partnership of
wealthy Clevelanders already has been
formed to carry out this great project,
and big corporation is to be organized
eventually.
The first lot of carriages has been
ordered, and it is expected that part
of the system will be in active opera
tion by June /. The horseless carriage
motors to be used are the product of an
inventor of Germany. They are noise
less gasolene motors of the most i'm
proved order. This make of the carriage
is already in use, and there seems to be
no doubt as to its perfect utility. The
fare will be az cents to all sections Of
the city.

How Tom Scott Became Rich.

How Tom Scott Became Rich.
An interesting story is told by T. G.
Curtis Of Lowville, Columbia county,
about Tom Scott. the millionaire lum-
herman, who died some years ago. Mr..
Curtis came to Wisconsin in the forties
and engaged in hauling goods from Mil
waukee to the pineries. While in Mil
waukee he met young man who had
fallen into ill luck. He had few land
warrants, however. from which he
hoped to realize few hundred dollars.
These warrants were given to Mr.. Cur
tbs to sell. He afterward disposed of
them for several times the amount the
young man had expected to receive for
them.
In the meantime the young fellow had
gone to New York city. The money was
forwarded to him and reached him in a
very opportune time, being the means
of placing him in a position where he
became, later, the head of one of the lar
gest dry goods firms in the great metrop-
oils.
Some years afterward Mr.. Curtis Wis
tied New York, where he was joyously
received and royalty entertained by the
merchant prince whom he had "placed
on his feet" as he himself expressed it,
a few years before Tom Scott at this
time had sort of store at fthe Rap
ids," but his stock had SO dwindled
down that he remarked to Curtis that he
would have to do some hard scratching
in order to obtain new stock. Curtis.
remembering his New York friend,
signed joint note with Scott and OBJ
tanned from the gentleman the desired
goods. ''That,' says Mr.. Curtis, twas

Household necessities, cheer and warmth

fires. A cheerful warm fireplace is a
gracious comfort, but the harm fire may do
has no limit. Hearthstones have storied

houses are burned down by carelessness 8.
there are more burns and scalds, the treat
ment of which, to allay at once the tortur-
