If it required an annual outlay of
$4,000 to insure a family against any
serious consequences from an attack of
bowel complaint during the year there
are many who would feel it their duty
to pay it; that they could not afford to
risk their lives, and those of their fami-
ly for such an amount. Any one can
get this insurance for % cents, that be-
ing the price of bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. In almost every neighbor-
hood some one has died from an attack
of bowel complaint before medicine
could be procured or physician sum-
moned. One or two doses of this
remedy will cure any ordinary case.
1t never fails. Can you afford to take
the risk for so small an amount? For

HANNA MUST BE A HUMMER.-The
first coed campaisn story drifted in on
he press train from St. Louis Saturday
night and was told at Chamberlain's
in Washington. 1t seems that an old
farmer who had lived in southeastern
Missouri all his life, but who never
saw St. Louis, took advantage of the
cheap railroad rates and went to town.
He saw the city, went through the cy-
clone district and tried to get iuto the
convention hall, but had no ticket He
then hunted up Chauncey [. Filley, for
thepurpose of getting admission to the
big hall. On the way to Filley's head
quarters he read in the evening papers
that Filley had been turned down and
Dick Kerens elected over him. The
old man felt that ne must say some
thing conclistory and soothing when
he reached Filley's room, and he said !:
'"Cbancey, old boy, Pm awfil sorry you
got the jolt. 1 never did have no use
for Bill Mckinley, nohow, and I'm not
a weakeuiu neither. Pm still ag'in
him. But, say, Chance, old boy, Nc

WITH A FEATHER TIP.

Some yenrs ago Paris jeweler told
story of one diamond which had passed
over his counter no less than eleven
times. 1t was beautiful stone of near
ly four carats, of perfect color and lus-
ter, but easily identified by means ofa
small "feather" in the tip of the lower
part. He bought it from an East India
dealer, and had it set in ring. 1t was
sold 10 countess in 1869, just before
the outbreak of the Franco PrusSian
war. The countess died in Il few weeks,
and the ring was worn by her husband.
He was killed in the siege of Paris, and
a lew days after his death the ring was
brought into the store for sale by a
common soldier. He was arrested and
the ring sent to the parents of the dead
count, says the st. Louis Globe Demo
cr0t.
Before the siege ended they brought
in the ring and sold it to the dealer in
order to procure money to buy food.
Directly after the siege it passed into
the hands of an Euglish tourist, who
visited the city to get look at the ruin
wrought by the communists, and year
later back came the stone from the
Indian buyer of the firm, who, on being
written to and desired to tell how he
got it, stated that it had been the pio
ertv of au English tourist hunter who
bad been killed by tiger, and his
friends sold the ring to get means to
send the body home
The stone was reset, and soon found
purchaser in prominent member OF
the demi.monde, who not long after
was murdered in her room. Among
the articles taken by the murderer was
the ring, and the firm began to wonder
how soon it would turn up. They had
not long to wait, for all their eople
had by this time learned about the
stone, and were on the lookout for it.
After six months it was found in the
show case OF jeweler in London, who
had bonght it from a firm in Amster-
dam. It was bought by the Paris agent
aud sent back to be started afresh on
its travels. 1t was purchased again by
woman, who six weeks later was
drawn out OF the Seine with the gem
on her finger, and, by strange coiDci-
dence, it was offered 10 the firm that
sold it by the police agents, the court
having ordered it to be sold. And 80
it went from hand to hand, attended
with misfortune at every change, and
usually bringing death to the possessor.
Laborets in the G Golconda mines used to
say that when stone was baptized in
blood when first taken from the earth
it caused the shedding of blood wher-
ever it went, and the story of one such
ili-omened gem goes far to confirm be-
lief in such a superstition.
