YOU CAN'T STOP 'EM.

The Fury OF an Unfettered Element Falls
TO Crush Them-Ths Fire FIend Defied.
The news comes from Attica, Ind,
Of the destruction. by fire, Of the big
laboratory and Office building Of the
Sterling Remedy company, makers Of
Cascarets Candy Cathartic and No-To-
BAG, the original guaranteed tobacco
habit cure. The preparations made by
this big corporation are known
throughout the world.
The fire broke out in one Of the
packing rooms on the third floor during
the noon hour, and had made consider
able Roadway before IL was discovered.
The Sterling Remedy company Is the
principal industry Of the beautiful lit
lie city OF Attica, employing several
hundred people. besides being affiliated
with the interests at the Indiana Min
eral Springs. the famous Magno-Mud
Cure. The entire population was
worked up to frenzy Of excitement.
Meanwhile tn, almost provetbial
energy and presence OF mind Of "Hust-
ling" Harry Kramer, the general man
ager of The Sterling Remedy company,
was displayed. He was the coolest
man al the scene. He quietly walked
away, and secured big carriage show
room near by, and had all office furni-
ture, charred and delapidated as it
was, taken there. Several shipments
were made the same evening from
goods saved, and on Friday morning,
all departments were at work In var
ious rooms about town. while gang
Of men were cleaning away the wreck
age preliminary to rebuilding.
The actual damage amounts to many
thousands OF dollars; the loss due to
interruption of business and confusion
Of detail Is inestimatable. but pluck
and energy of one man will turn de-
feat into victory and move the wheels
of business to ever-increasing speed.
Nothing can stop the success Of Cas-
carets and No-To-Bac with such char
acteristic force behind them.

Three Eyed Nan.

A funny story is current at Paris con-
corning the expedition Of Lieutenant
Baron Hourst TO the Niger river. II
seems that he took along with him a
number Of cOlOred pictures Of Presi-
dent Faure The dusty Babbaras Ia
dies had never seen an eyeglass before,
and their enthusiasm for the three
eyed sultan of the French knew no
bounds. This led an INSCRIPTIONS
Partisan servant OF the baron to con-
ceive the bright idea of wearing an
eyeglass himself. In order to show the
French SULTAN in life. The result was
that sIl the native ladies forsook their
lawful lords and followed him. There
was q lively demonstration on the part
OF the Jealous chiefs. The photographs
and the deputy sultan had to be sup
pressed In hot haste, and the entire ex-
petition beat speedy retreat to the
sea coast, its objec- thus frustrated by
the means OF n inOnocle.

he detaches by tearing along the per-
