For your Protection. Catarrh ''Curesn or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh win follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
Inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, SO cents.

A tenderfoot in a Dakota town was
much surprised at the custom of set
ting out whisk brooms with the whisky
bottle and glass. He learned the use
of the third article when a stager
gulped down his dose and picking up
the broom, swept space in one corner
of the saloon, laid down and had a fit.
Whether this custom is due to the
quality Of Dakota whisky or not, we
cannot say; but set of grave-digging
tools ought to go with every drink OF
whisky.

There are rooms and rooms. says the
Washington Post, just as there are
hotels and hotels; and when the hotels
are crowded it takes an experienced
and determined man to get the best

higher than the third story. But there
is another class of the jewellers in tents
the men who never register. Every
hotel has them, and Washington hotels
more than any other city. Here it
means the game of politics. The man
who wants an Office, and is afraid his
rivals are going toputup combinations
against him, will slip into his hotel
and tell the clerk that he does not
want to be seen or put on the book.
and the clerk tells him that it is al
right. In some cities such actions

pretty well taken up by the driver, a
man of the 'slugger" variety and a big

guard. When the conductor came to
collect the fares he looked sharply at
the bag. and then said to the tough:
''I'n have ter charge yer fer that
bag"
"I'll bet yer WON'T" answered the
man, looking angrily at him, as if any
attempt at collection would produce a
prize fight.

ductor, shortly. He gave the man five
minutes more, asked him second and
third time, then stopped the car and
put the bag off on the sidewalk. The
''slugger" didn't even move, and when
the car had gone about mile further
the conductor said to him:
eyer don't care much fer that bag if
you wouldn't pay five cents fer it."
"Ah, come OFF, was the reply
''What's der bag got ter do wild me?
