A rorerunner Of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though lis offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware Of the danger
of which Catsrrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads TO
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment OF
SPRAYS, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases oil the while, causing a
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it II
only a question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what,
ever can be expected from loca
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh. and never
will.

ST. DENIS.

Upon the San Sata country CT Texas
is an ancient store house, said to have
been the home, Yearly 200 years ago,
of Jueereau st. Denis, French ex-
plorer and alventurer, and his wife,
Dona Maria, the beautiful daughter Of
a Spanish officer.
No more gallant figure than st. De-
mis- steps out from the shadows of the
past He was born in Canada, spent
his childhood and early youth in France,
where he WAS educated and had for his
companions young men Of the better
Glass. He returned to Canada, and for
some years took an active part in affairs
ther,.
He IS de or bed as of ma estie figure,
trained Iii the French military schools,
of manners the mot courteous, CT
strong character, warm heart, of a
power of spt ech peculiarly winning and
of undaunted bravery.
In1714 he led a banl o. hunters and
trapuers from Cana a down into Loui-
siana. We know he bu 1t fort at
Nacog doches ard left the greater part
of his followers to garri on 1t. With
ID m. n and number of Indian guides
he crossed the Sabine river and pene-
troted INTO what is now Texas. As b
iournied he met with various Indian
uibos. and seems t. have had no trou-
ble in making all # them his friends.
AT last he reacl ed the Spanish posts
on the RIO Grande. At San Juai
Baptista he announced to Villesecas,
the commander there, that he came to
buy eeves, hor.ts AMI supplies, and
also % establish closer and more friend
" rel .tions between the French and
Spanish territories.
This was all very well, but St. Denis
most probable object was to acquire all
the ,untry over which he had march,
ed for his king, Louis XIV, who had
shadowy CAIN to it by virtue OF some
early explorations Of La Sale.
How to deal with the newcomers
bothered Villesecas a great deal. After
many days of waiting and OF these OK

Not Likely That the House Will Ac-
on the McEnery Resolution.

Washington, Feb. 16-House leaders
familiar with foreign questions say no
programme has been matured or even
outlined thus far as to what will be
done with the McEnery resolution relat-
ing to the Philippines, passed by the
senate. 1t will probably go to the for
efgn affairs committee although the
point has been made that with the rati-
fication of the treaty the Philippines are
no longer foreign territory. This view
is held by Chairman Knox, of the COM
mittee on territories.
The foreign affairs committee meets
on the call of Chairman Hit and no
notice of a meeting has been given.
Mr.. Hit said he would talk with his
committee associates before determining
on any plan. Mr.. Dinsmore (Ark), the
ranking minority member of the COM
mittee, says the minority has not ma
tured any line of action, although 1t
may propose an amendment designed to
eliminate any suggestion of a colonial
system which the resolution may now
convey. Some of the members of the
committee stated privately that they
would not vote for the resolution If it
could be construed as Objectionable to
the administration. Owing to the alb
sence of all exact plans the impression
prevails in some quarters that there
will be no haste toward considering the
subject.
