CATCHING THE TRAIN.
One Cnse In which There Was Some
Confusion.

CONFUSION.
Mrs Entertainer had guest that was
to take the nine o'clock train. So mine
hostess called up the only bus in the
village, whose function it was to carry
mail, express and small freight.
"Will you call at my house for the
morning train?" she asked.
The proprietor said he would. There
upon he forgot all about 1t, and his wife
sent him after meat for dinner. Just
as he was going out of the meat market
with the pound and half of pork, his
man came rafting down the street with
the bus, mail, etc. Then it struck the
mind of the forgetful proprietor that he
had neglected to tell his driver to go
after Mrs. Entertainers guest. He
rushed into the street, hastily explained
that the driver must take the mail to
the train a-shoulder, while he turned
the bus about and went back after the
waiting passenger.
There was great rumble and scatter
ing of dust up the street that made the
single feminine passenger inside the
coach catch hold of the seat ard scowl

"Out in the bus? Well, I'd like to

And the nonplused proprietor began
TO wonder if he had lost his mind.

and beyond my expectations. Lakes and
streams to be found in all districts abound
with innumerable kinds of water fowl, while
fish are very abundant. On all sides we see

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials. Address F. j. Cheney & Co., To-

Interesting style. 1t includes a four

to construct q railroad from Honda to
