There was only one false note IN
the general harmony OF things about
the household Of Digs. II was the
furnace. When they moved into their
suburban home IL was . villa in q
bower of summers beauty. Digs
stretched his arms. and inhaled deep
brsathA and slapped his chest a. he
paced through its roomy space. and
cursed the stesm-heRted fat and Its
prison walls.
That was months before the fur
mace was started. By the time he =
had paid coal bills Of gradually In
creasing Size from September to the
month Of the ground hog, with a pros
pect OF four more still to come, Digs
thought again.
But even the expense was small
compared to the strain on his nerves.
He would rise IN the morning sing
ing sweet and tuneful airs, and call
the children pet names ~ he ran
bithely downstairs.

TIVE Lives Lost.

Columbus Following close upon
the disastrous wreck which occurred
on the Mobile and Ohio railroad near
tbs city ten days since, comes another
fearful accident in the shape of q
collision which occurred In the yards
Of the Southern railway here Saturday
when the west bound freight train
No. /, dashed into q switch engine
in charge Of Engineer Johnson Card,
who lost his life IN the collision.
Barney Holmes the negro fireman
on the switch engine, was also killed.
Card, the dead engineer, leaves wife
and several smalt children, who were
entirely dependent upon him for
support. The train which dashed IN
to the switch engine with such disas-
trous results, was IN charge Engineer
Jack Parish. who it Is alleged, was
slesp at the time that the accident
occurred. Several members Of the
yard crew saw the train rushing In at
terrific rate and tried their best to
stop it, but no attention was paid
o. their signals. The friends of
Parish, and they aie many, regret
his situation most sincerely. He has
been in the employ of the Southern for
the past eight years and this is the first
serious wreck that he has ever had.

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 CaJarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con- stitutional 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 do- ing it's work. The proprietors have so much faith in it's curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address

many hands so beautifully inscribed on the tapestry, but the limb, he says, moved slowly from one stage to an other, and pointed downward. MT. hayes was much agitated and told several friends of this curious visita- tion. They, not unnaturally, perhaps, advised him to dismiss the subject from his mind and return to the cham Der and his work.
 But the hand reappeared before his startled eyes; and on the last appear ance of the phantom the artist made a hurried sketch of the outstretched hand, the rough outline of which Ge- picts a brilliant marquise ring on the forefinger. The effect of these continu- ed visits of the supernatural on MT. Hayes is very visible; he is unnerved, and he has suspended his sketching.
 These are the plain fats, but there is. it would seem, weird and historic connection between this hand and the hand of Queen Catherine Howard, one of ths wives of King Henry VIII.

magnificent future. But he always helps to circulate a good story on Phila- delphia, just the same.
 A hustling free lance'' in the life in surance business was over there the other day trying to write a $20 900 policy in a New York company for a rising young man man who holds an impor- tant position with the Potter company. This was his third or fourth call, and he had his intended victim almost worked up to the point of signing the application.
 I'll take the policy" he said, but I Cont want it just yet. Wait a few weeks"
 ''No time like the present time,' ex- claimed the agent. Delays are par ticularly dangerous in life insurance matters. I tell you what I'll do in your oase-if you'll make the application now I'll carry the policy for you myself for thirty days"
 "Oh, I wouldn't have you do that. g the young man prot5 cted. "I might die within thirty days. and then where would you and your profits be-"
 "Oh. that's all right, my boy. I'll take the risk. You won't die that quick. Nobody in Philadelphia ever Gied in thirty days!''-New York Com mercial.
