the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any sctual dis
ease. but simply to constipated cendi-

remedy with millions of families, and ia
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, thnt it is the

The Way That Boards Were Once

conqnerers it WAS different. They had
almost as great hatred for boards and
hair as have the Chinese. According
they not only shaved their chins, but
also the backs of their heads almost uu

long established in England, however
a complete change in their ideas Of
birsute adornment took place, and Il

Those who were by nature blessed with
heavy beard growths were envied al

Story of Prospector's Discovery Of

Returning miners and prospectors
from Alaska tell different stories of
their hunt for gold. Some have been
successful some have failed. There is
one man, however, who came down on
the last trip of the steamer Topeka
who thinks he has found such fortune

Hans Christian Pande, the old sea
captain and former resident of Tacoma.
is the man who believes he has found
a treasure. He, with seven others,
has taken up 15S acres about is miles
from Sitka, and 1t is called "Pande's
basin placer claim" Within the limits
of the claim is a lake 1000 yards long.

ROBINS PURSUE A CAT.

About two weeks ago a black and
and white spotted cat belonging to
Harry Hastings robbed a robins nest.
The parent birds witnessed the destruc-
ton of their home, and made a great
ado about it, but the cat was obdurate,
and proceeded quietly to feast upon the
bindings.
But since that time that cats life has
been burden. She cannot show her
self in the open air without being saw
agely attacked by half dozen robins
that seem to be watching for her. They
chirp loudly, ruffle up their feathers,
and fly at the cat with vicious fury At
first the cat attempted to defend her
self, but her enemies were too active
They could give her a savage peck and
be out of the way before she could
spring or strike with her paw Now
she goes around like one who has
nothing to live for. If she ventures
out for moment and hears the savage
ehirp of robin she will make a dive
for her favorite hiding place under the
barn. Other cats are not molested by
the robins, but they seem to have made
up their minds to have revenge on this
one, and it is probable that she Will
never modest another robins nest

Not long ago a young bachelor gave

District Attorney John r. Fellows called
and was ushered into Mr.. Hanna's room,
where he remained for some time.
'The object of my visit to Mr.. Hanna"
said Col. Fellows, before leaving headquar-

frauds perpetrated I'm the Memphis con-
gressional district on Tuesday. There is
absolutely no doubt that Harrison, the
present Represen entative and nominee of the
Republican and gold-standard Democrats,
was elected, but he was counted out in

best to call Mr.. Hannas attention to this
matter while the subject of honest elections
is still fresh in the public mind"
Col. Fellows was asked whether the

he thought they would, but whether they
