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 frRternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease. requires q
constitutional 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 doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cur
rgtive powers, that, they offer One Hundred
Dollars tor any case that II fails to cure

fire-alarm, to warn us of danger, to
ward off real evils, such as might
otherwise result in dangerous

but another method of saying that
these organs are being overworked,
abused, in danger.
The reason why the old adage,
THAT an hour before midnight is
worth two after midnight, seems to
be borne out by experience, is be-
cause the sleep before midnight is
often less disturbed than that in the
morning, and Is obtained before
such great fatigue is experienced.
Observation on shipboard shows
that sailors whose sleep Is broken
by the watchestare no worse off than
the medical and pay officers who
stand no watch and have hours as
regular as any householder.

Embrolderr without stInt.

Embroideries will reign again
this winter more royalty than ever :,
with embroidered flowers done in
white linen threads, in cOlored
silks, or in black lace and black
cords, making most exquisite gar
ments. White crepe embroidered
in large colored flowers about the
hem, more delicately on the bodice,
made a sensation at several water
ing places during its owner s travels,
and another frock of white net was
enriched with raised embroidery
of delicate natural colors, which
was evidently appliqued. Colored
silk embroiderie5 will be applied in
this way to cashmere frocks, and to
silk muslin ones for this winters
wear, leaving the materials actually
embroidered upon themselves, such
as crepes and silks and velvets, for
most elaborate evening toilets.

The extreme of the reaction from
the very short cloaks and coats of
the past few seasons is upon us in
the shape of real Prince Aberts and
cutaway coats, says the New York
Herald. These two shapes are to be
the very height of fashion this fall.
Some of the SWEETEST making
establishments are showing these
garments, and | saw woman
alighting from her coupe one day
last week arrayed in all the glory OF
new Prince Albert coat.
This garment was tight lifting
bodice, with the straight back and
side seams of a genuine Prince
Albert and long skirts, reaching a
little below the knees of the wearer,
open in the back, exactly as the
mans coat. OF course, there was a
little touch of femininity in the
makeup and finish, especially in
ahe dainty lace cravat at the throat.

Admiral SamnSNl.

Acting Rear Admiral William T.
Sampson is very much in the public
eye at the present time, when at any
moment we may expect to hear that
his fleet has attacked the Spanish Cape
Verde fleet.
Admiral Sampson was born in Palm
yra, N. Y, February 8, 1910. His faith
er was farmer, and could not afford
to allow his son to devote much of his
time to his school books. When old
enough he went to school, but it was
necessary for him to do much of the
hard work known to farmers boys.
The young man had an Unsuitable de
sire for Information. and, despite the
fact that he had less time to devote to
his studies than any of the rest of the
boys in the Union School, he soon dis
tanced them in the race. Young Samp-
son was offered the appointment to the
Naval Academy by a Congressman.
He entered the Naval Academy in 1857,
and graduated first in his class three
y6ttIS ldtSI. Ills ETSU u uIS0, was ludOc
in the frigate Potomac" in 1861, and
in 1862 he was commissioned lieuten-
ant. He was detailed to the ironclad
"Patapsco" in 1864, and in June, 1865,
while he was executive officer of this
vessel, he was ordered by the admiral
of the fleet to enter Charleston harbor
and to remove or destroy all submarine
mines and torpedoes by which the city
was protected from invasion. This was
an exceedingly difficult task, for as
soon as the ironclad entered the har
Dor, she was met with rain of bullets
from sharpshooters. Seeing number
of his men killed Lieut. Sampson Or
dered them all below, while he remain
ed as target for the rebel rifles. The
men had scarcely obeyed the order
when the ironclad was blown up by a
submarine mine. The vessel sank, car
rying seventy of the crew with her.
Lieut., Sampson was blown out hun
dred feet, but was rescued with TWEEN
ty five Of his men.

A LESSON FROM MEXICO.

Destruction of the Forests Has Brought
Drought and Desolation.
The early conquerors of this country
and their followers of today have been
very wasteful and careless in the dispo-
sition of their forests, with the result
of accelerating the date when they will
be compelled to face problem of forest
themselves. Denizens of the northwest
are familiar with the rapidity with
which the valuable timber areas have
been denuded, until now there is scarce
ly a merchantable tree between Ar
kansas and the Canadian line. Many
notes of warnings accompanied this de-
struction of the northern soft wood for
ests but they fell upon unwilling ears.
Only after it was too late to stop the
mischief did the country begin to recog-
nize the indirect value Of forests to agri-
culture and that no high degree of civ
ilization can exist permanently with
out some systematic and adequate forest
management. In India the destruction
of the forests commenced 1000 years
ago, and that country, having at last
seen the folly of such waste, is now en-
gagged in the expensive undertaking of
reforesting large areas.
The effect upon rainfall and the pro-
ductiveness of the cultivated tracts has
already been acknowledged by investi-
gators. When Cortes first saw the val
ley of Mexico, it was covered with
woods, not dense, but abundant, from
the timber line on the volcanoes down
to the waters edge. The reckless cut
ting down of the forests by the Span
iards in the first century following the
conquest in 1921 increased evaporation,
caused the lakes to dry up, led to fre
quent droughts, followed by occasional
floods, and changed the climate Of
Anahuao.
Any old rancher will tell stories Of
streams that flowed when he was boy
and will show the dry arroyo now.
They all claim that the tablelands had
timber in considerable quantities. where
now there are barren deserts.
This government has taken some steps
in the matter, but it is also necessary
for the landowners to assist in this
work by planting trees and irrigatine
them for a few years until they have
taken good root. By using good judg
ment in selecting the trees and in plant
ing in a few years the complaints
which are now so frequent of years O.
droughts will soon become fewer ant
fewer until they finally cease.-Mon

HOW A MAN MADE $1,000.
Because the Chap Who Lost 1t Told His
Business In Cafe.

''Don't discuss your private business
affairs in public place." said an old
Brooklynite to the New Yorker who ap-
preached him in a cafe near the city
hall. Then the Brooklyn man, pointing
out real estate dealer, said:
"Talking about business deal in
this very cafe cost that man $1,000, and
the money went into my pocket too.
You see, he represented syndicate that
wanted to build on some property in
which was interested as the owner Of
one house and city lot. The agent did
not know me from Canarsie clammer.
Well, he came in here with friend
one Of the syndicate-for luncheon on
an afternoon in last July. They took
seats at this table. I sat at the next
one.
81 began to take notice, as grand
mas say, when heard the strangers at
the next table discuss quite loudly a
deal in relation to the property adjoin
ing mine. The agent had ordered a fine
layout for luncheon and was evidently
well pleased with his deal. He said to
his friend:
"'Well, I pulled off the trick for
that property at 219 Cheap street today.
The owner thought was doing him a
favor, I started in at $15, 900 and final
ly closed with him for $4,000. He bit
in hurry. Why, the property is worth
$25, 900 if it's worth dollar to us.
Now I must look for the chap that owns
221. He'll be glad to get $18, 900 for
his house. It's lucky for us they're not
on to the fact that we want to buy that
entire block
81 didn't need to do any eavesdrop-
ping, you see. That little speech of the
agent cost him exactly 81, 900. You can
readily guess that I, as the owner of 221
Cheap street, was not especially anxious
to sell after that. I kept Mr.. Real Es-
tate Man on the jump for nearly five
months, and when I let up on him I
got my price, exactly $25, 0OO-a neat
little profit Of $1,000 above what I
would have gladly accepted. So you see
the point of my remark to you, Don't
discuss private business affairs in pub
lie place. Now we'll 60 to my office,
and I'll listen to your proposition. y

HIDDEN GOLD IN PARIS.
Many Fanatics Spend Their Lives Hunting
For Buried Treasure.

Many Fanatics Spend Their Lives Hunting
For Buried Treasure.
Some Parisians are actually kept from
wandering by conviction that there is
hidden treasure behind the walls OF be-
meath the flooring or in the chimney
nook or under the roof, says Chambers
journal.
You are told that during the number
less sieges to which Paris has been sub
jected and the internal revolutions it
has undergone there exists not cellar
or a garrett but has become the recepta-
Gle of some part of the immense riches
accumulated in religious houses and old
families. There is, perhaps, nothing ir-
rational in the supposition that in the
good old times when converts were
made the repositories not only of the
secrets of the aristocracy, but of the
family jewels likewise, instances must
have occurred wherein these deposits
were buried and remain undiscovered,
together with the treasures of the con-
fraternity. But human folly has of late
years exalted this rational possibility
into dazzling certainty. Every means is
now resorted to and more gold and pre-
cious time expended than the most val
liable treasure could repay in order to
seize the secret which still resists dis
oovery. "While you of the matter of
fact, plodding Anglo-Saxon race are
toiling and broiling in Australia and
California, searching for gold, we gold
seekers of Paris find it here beneath our
feet in the old quarters of the city round
Notre Dame and the Hotel de Vile,
where gold is teeming in greater plenty
than amid the rock powders of Califor-
MIA or beneath the soil of Ballarat,"
said Ducasse, the great treasure seeker.
