The Good Qualities

Possessed by Hoods Sarsaparilla are almost
beyond mention. Best Of all, it purifes the
blood, thus strengthening the nerves. Itregr-

system. 1t cures dyspepsia, s~crofula, catar i
and rheumatism. Remember, Hoods Cures.

PADDOCK ON THE SAFE,

DiSposfn9 of More Assets.
John B. LeFleur. Andrew Thompson and o.
l.. Hormens have secured an order for an in
junction from Judge Pond restraining the Of
hcers Of the Home Savings and Loan associa-
ton from disposing OF any Of the assets of
the association and at the same time fling
a complaint in which a receiver In asked for
on the grounds that the association is insol-
vent.
The plaintiffs claim that according to the
report OF the officers the association has as
sets OF only S60o,o00 while the liabilities are
SSoo.ooO. The report admits that the associa-
ton has In the past lost $3l1, 600 of its assets
by reduction In values, but the complaint
goes FARTHER and alleges that while the re-
port shows certain mortgages. in fact they
nave been pledged to secure an issue of So
called gold bonds, of which 1t has a liability
81 600. II is alleged that the actual avail
able assets are but s2.4S0.sS.
Another allegation Is that the association
mas paid of withdrawing members to the ex-
tent OF $4,000 in real estate, which has de-
pleted the assets to that extent. 1t is also
alleged that the officers draw a salary, while
the association Is practically out of business
and that 1t is for the best interests of the
creditors that the association be wound up

Westminster Gazette.
Prince Charles of Denmark has been exer-
cising his ingenuity in drawing the horoscope
of the cars infant daughter The Grand
Duchess Olga, If her life is preserved, will be
OF medium life. This, the prince informs us.
is clearly seen from the positions Of Jupiter,
the Bull, and Neptune at the moment of her
birth. The same data, apparently, vouch for
the prediction that her hair will be brown and
slightly curied, that her eyes will be dark
and her face inclined to roundness The rest
age of one little Olga may suffer very severe
illness The horoscope further discovers crtti-
cal periods at her third. fourth, SIXTH seventh
and eighth years. He does not guarantee that
she will even reach the last-named age, but II
she does she will assuredly reach twenty.
This. at least, is twelve years Of peace to be
thankful for. 1t is certain, however, that she
will never live to be thirty. 1t Is much more
certain. If the report is true, that astroIogers-
even when prtnces-may occasionally be guilty
of exceedingly bad taste.
