The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces
OF the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease. and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do

The italian game of boccie (pro-

of nine hard wooden balls, eight of

ninth the size of a small baseball. The
latter is the pin ball. Usually the game
is played with two men on side, each
entitled to two balls

Her Fortune.
New York, Dec. 25-A wizened old
woman sat on a bench in the outer office
of Bellevue Hospital this morning and
talked.
The burden OF her tale was a fortune

Beside her on the bench lay small
| black bag, another bag that had once
| been black, and small, rough sack with
| hole worn in one end. These made up
| her entire travelling outfit.
With them in her hands and S35 in her

| ships of a journey quarter of the way
across the continent and the perils of an
ocean voyage in winter in order to get
| the SIT 900 which was left to her by her
| mother in-law.
The woman is penniless, but as confident
| of reaching Holland as if its shores already
loomed up before the steamer bearing
| her there.
Her story is strange. Her name is
Martha Becker She says she is fifty
| three years old, but she looks seventy at
/ least.

but came here when very young. She
still, however, drops her "h's,' which
