and We're married. At that time the
Earl of Tankerville was third in sue
cession 10 the title. The countess was
Miss Lenora Van Marter, a resident OF
Tacoma, and it was while engaged in
army work there that she attracted
the earl's notice. He was so smitten
by her rare beauty that he abandoned
the gay life he was leading in order
10 be near her. Together they worked
for many months in the streets of Ia
coma, doing good to all with whom
they came in contact. Finally the

Remains of Ancient Man.

In some grottoes in Algeria French
explorers recently discovered stone i'm
plements mingled with the remains of
extinct animals belonging to quater
nary times. Further explorations indi-
cae that during the age when the grot-
toes were inhabited the coast of AL
seria had contiguration different
from that of to-day. Among the ami
mails associated with the ancient hu-
man inhabitants of Algeria were the
rhinoceros, the hippopotamus and va
rius species of ruminants.

Bishop Henry C. Potter deliver

God and the City" before an audience
of $500 persons in St. Paul's chapel,
New York. in which he suggested the
organization OF a vigilance committee
of 25OO0 refurmers to cleanse the city
OF vice. He favored central com
mittee OF three OF five men, under
whose orders the public committee
should act. The bishop said in part:

Chronic Coughs and
Colds Are Catarrhal
Diseases.
catarrh Is the Continual scourge
of Christendom.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherously in
every hamlet. 1t flies with vampire
wings from country to country and
casts black shadow Of despair over
all lands. Its stealthy approach and
its lingering stay makes 1t a dread to
the physician and pest to the patient.
It changes the merry laugh Of child
hood to the wheezy breathing OF
Group, and the song Of the blushing
maiden to the hollow cough of con-
sumption. In its withering grasp the
rounded form Of the fond wife and
mother becomes gaunt and spectral.
and the healthy flush of manhood
turns to the saflow, haggard visage of
the invalid.
Cough takes the place Of conversa-
ton, speech gives way to splitting, the
repulsive odors of chronic catarrh
poison the kiss Of the fondest lovers,
and thickened membranes bedim
sight, impair hearing and destroy
taste.

ed his efforts to make up for the moth
love. They grew to wOmahhOod. and
finally only Miss Hattie was left at
home to make gladness and sunshine
for the father. EiSns-eh months ago
she began to feel the effects of dis
ease and after trying every means
known To the medical world at home.
she was brought to our own city, hop.
ing To find relief. She came gladly,
filled with hop. and made plans fas. II
complete recovery, and .her RETURN
hone with her sister. But the ALL
Wise Creator saw fit TO remove her
and she went to sleep rs 4 little child.
Overcome with grief the father and
sister took her back to her western
home and to the members of her fami-
ly.
