During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, w. Va,
struck his leg against a cake of ice
in such manner as to bruise it Sc
verely. 1t became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of luiment and
two and a half gallons OF whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chamber!lin's
Pain Balm. This brought almost
complete cure in a weeks time and
he believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would have had to be
amputated. Pain Balm Is unequaled

1T is A PITY so few WOMEN

think Pe-ru-na the best medicine in the
market"
Women are even moro subject to ca
tnrrh than men. The chief cause is the
delicacy of her organism, as compared
to man. This explains why, in part at
least, so few women are entirely free
from catarrh. Catarrh of the pelvic or

THREE KISSES.
The purcst kiss

The purcst kiss
In the world is this
The kiss that a mother lays
On her child'S fresh lips
AS he blithely trips
To meet the world and its ways.
The sweetest kiss
In the world is this
The first long kiss of love,
When time is not,
And earth's forgot,
And Eden drops from above
The saddest kiss
In the world is this
The kiss on the unanswering clay,
When dead lips tell
We must sob farewell
Till the dawn Of the judgment day.

THRILLING SNAKE Eight.
Big Tussle Between Clown Bobby Mack
and Big Constructor at the
Hagenback Show.

AdhIAuaSA 1AoWs
Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-This is a most
extraordinary story of a fight between
a man and 10 foot boa constructor.
Bobby Mack a respectable and trust
worthy employe, holding the position
of clown and animal instructor with the
Hagenback wild animal aggregation,
weighs $50 pounds. is as strong as a
lion, and can hold a man over his head
with one hand. Yet Mack, with base
ball bat, was unable to finish the
snake. The serpent not only showed
remarkable agility, but showed that it
had genuine courage, and could fight
like a cornered panther. 1t gave Mr..
Mack the prettiest tussle for points
history has probably ever recorded. It
is to be added that after two rounds
the fight ended in a draw, with both
contestants thoroughly winded.
Mack had occasion to go into the
show early this morning, when he
heard a terrific threshing. Recognizing
at once that one of the snakes had cs-
capped from it's box, he advanced, and
saw the l9 foot boa constructor rear its
ugly head over the top of one of tho
animal cages Mack looked around for
some weapon Of defense, but finding
none turned and fed into the Es-
planade, where he secured a bat and
scurried back to the show. He thought
it would be fun to cut the snake into
mince meat with the club.

return of Mack. but had opinions of its
own in relation to the impending com

ace IL is on exhibition continuously
so that one may drop in at any hour
and see it all. More electricity IS con-
sumed here than in all the other build
ings ON the Esplanade. For such an
expensive exhibit the price of admis.
sion, ten cents. IS very low.
