Catarrhal sufferers should remember
that Ely's Cream Balm is the only ca.
tarrh remedy which is quickly and
thoroughly absorbed by the diseased
membrane. 1t does not dry up the
secretions, but changes them to a limpid
and odorless condition, and finally to a
natural and healthy character.
The Balm can be found at any drug
store, or by sending 80 cents to Ely
Brothers, SO Warren street, New York
it will be mailed
Full directions with each package.
Cream Balm opens and cleanses the
nasal passages, allays inflammation
thereby stopping pain in the head, heals
and protects the membrane and restores
the senses of taste and smell. The
Balm is applied directly into the nos
trils.

An army post for Raleigh seems to
be assured. l was in Washington the
other day and Senator Pritchard told
me he had just been looking into the
matter, and he thought it was about set
tied that Raleigh would get the army
post she has been asking"
SO spoke Collector Duncan last night,
and in doing so he was simply corrobo-
rating what Senator Pritchard and other
congressman have recently written here
to President Raney and other members
of the Chamber of Commerce.
1t seems that all that now remains is
for Raleigh to do Tier part in the way
of contributing the necessary site for the
post. This she will have no trouble in
doing for the people of the city are fully
alive to their opportunity. They know
that they now have beyond all question,
the best and most beautiful city i'll the
State, but they are not satisfied with
that and they stand ready to do any
thing in their power to advance the pro-
gress of the city.
The surveyors are now at work sur
yeying one of the proposed sites-the
Boylan farm, ON Crabtree creek. near
the Raleigh and Castor Railroad. two
miles northeast of the city. This farm
is well watered and roling-atlmirab
suited in every way for the purpose for
which it is desired. There are 1,2S0
acres in it and ii can he bought for
$4,000. Ten years ago it cost $4,000
As soon as the survey is completed a
government Inspector will come here
to make an examination of the grounds
and report concerning them. 1t is be-
lieyed that the government will not re-
auire more than $40 acres of this land
for its post, so admirable suited is it
for the purpose.
The surveyors will complete their work
within the next few days.

inEton celebrated with fitting ceremonies
including perhaps the establishment of
handsome memorial to mark so historical

local recognition, has met with general
favor on the part of the public. The
granting of an appropriation by congress
is recommended for this purpose and tho
appointment of a committee from its re-
spective bodies.
The alien contract law is shown by ex-
perience to need some amendment. A
measure providing better protection Is
proposed. The rightful application of

and of principle of arbitration are sug-
gested for consideration and these sub

He Tells His Friends How He Would
Never Allow IA woman TO Manage
Him.
The lord of creation was sitting with
some men friends before CRATE fire
one cold evening and was exchanging
with them opinions on persons and
things. The conversation had drifted
around to a discussion of married life,
and the host had the floor. "Unac-
countable, isn't it," said he, chow hard
it is to make some women understand
that they don't need to manage their
husbands? I've never had any trouble
of that kind myself-wouldn't stand
it for a second even if Polly were dis
posed to try her hand at management
but it seems impossible to prevent
some women from attempting all sorts
of things in the way of regulating the
actions of their husba nds. Now, when
1 fell in love with Polly she was what
she is now in rare moments-mild and
pretty and amiably appreciative of my
intellect. / did not ever ask myself
whether she was clever or not. l didn't
care. We got along splendidly, like the
pious boy and his lazy brother, the
first of whom said the prayers and the
last the Amen l did the talking and
Polly egged me on with raising of eye
brows smiles and sympathetic Obs
or Abs Well, we married. l have
learned that Polly's friends were under
the impression that she had captured
a mental giant and was feeding him
with the sugar plums of fiction. She
| gave people to understand that l
labored under the delusion that she
was very brilliant person like myself,
and only her craftiness kept me from
finding out how shallow and silly she
was. Was ever more absurd idea
evolved from the brain of silly girl.
Polly clever! If she only knew that
her mild eyes, with the absolute ig-
norance of the world that lies in their
clear depths, are my stars f hope,
that her soft, faltering voice, that gets
shrill every time she tries to talk
learnedly, was what l love better than
oratory, and that her irresponsible
way of discussing my pet theories is
what flatters and gratifies me more
than any amount of sane praise from a
really clever woman-well, if she
realized all that, wonder if she would
still believe that she has managed,
played with or 'deluded' mel"
Just then Polly came into the room
in quest of book, and one of the
guests jolzingly repeated the substance
of what her husband had said. There
was quizzical look in her face as she
said:
Ibid you say that, Tom9"
Her husband acknowledged the corn.
Polly laughed good-naturedly and
said: You old goose" and left the
room. She also left an uneasy sus
picion on her husbands mind that
after all perhaps she managed" him
without his being aware of it. The
same idea occurred to more than one
of his guests, but of course there is nc
way of finding out whether such is the
case or not.-Chicago Chronicle.

Perhaps it is not generally known
that Mohammedans never use printed
Korans; because in doubt as to the

ton of the printing ink. They arc
afraid of being defiled by taking into
their hands copy of the sacred book
which may have been produced with
the ink in which pigs fat, instead OF
linseed oil, has formed one of the

fine themselves to reading handwrit-
ten reproductions of the prophets

"The study of evolution teaches us"
said the professor, that when an or
gan becomes useless it gradually fades
away. Witness the eyeless fish in the
Mammoth cave. In like manner it is
probable that the appendix vermifor-

Renaissance, so to speak of an organ
once useful in the human internal
mechanism, but now apparently worse
than useless, will ultimately shrink
away and disappear utterly"
