HOOD VS.. HOOD.
C. |. Hood & Co. Victorious in important
Cases Injunction Against Or. }. C. Hood.

Important suits have just been decided in
the L. S. Circuit Courts involving the right
to the word Hood or Hoods. Messrs. c. !.
Hood & Co., Of Lowell, Mass proprietors
of Hoods Sarsaparilla, began suit for in.
fringement against DR.. ]. c. Hood, of Louis.
vile, KY, who was putting up what he
called "Dr. Hoods Sarsaparlla." After a
hearing in the U. S. Circuit Court, at Louis
vile, Judge Evans, on April IL, granted a
temporary injunction in favor of c. l. Hood
& Co., and restraining J. c. Hood from us.
ing the word Hood in any way or form on
any preparation of sarsaparilla.
Messrs. c. |. Hood & Co. also uegan suit
against a retail druggist in indianapolis,
Louis ii. Renkert, who was selling Dr. J.
{. Hoods Sarsaparilla. DR.. J. c. Hood
employed counsel and made defence, but
Judge Baker, of the U. 5. Circuit Court,
granted an injunction, which, on April 23,
became perpetual
These two DEGREES establish the exclusive
right of c. |. Hood & Co. to the word
"Hood's," and decide in effect that no other
person can put up a Hoods Sarsaparilla,
even if his name is Hood, nor can any re.
tail druggist sell, or offer for sale, any sarsa.
parlla bearing the name Hood or Hoods,
other than that prepared by c |. Hood & Co.
These decisions will be gratifying to every
fair-minded person. No manufacturer should
object to fair competition, but when an at
tempt is made to steal or infringe upon a
business which has been established by great
skill, labor and expenditure, justice cannot
be dealt out too quickly. Nor should "sub-
stitution" be allowed, when a standard arti.
Gle is called for. Therefore, when you GO
to buy Hoods Sarsaparilla you shoul d be
sure to get "only Hoods"

rHE PRoDIGY'S poLITENESa
Re Spelled the Word So the Preacher
wouldnr Understand what He
Called Him.

4 Baptist church on the East side in
oaades among its membership devout
family consisting of father, mother
snd a precocious cherub of six, says
The Kansas City Star. The pastor has
tie usual weakness for chickens, and
80 has the eherub. In the early part of
TIE week the pastor was invited to dine.
The pride of the family had been prop
srly coached for the event, and more
attention than usual had been paid to
his spelling He had mastered any
number of words OF three letters. but il
twas still safe for mother and father to
spell out the words of two or more syl-
Iables which they did not wish him to
understand.
II was: when you go down town
purchase some candy" from moth
sr, and father was always saying:
Get some bananas this morning"
The pride of the household had learned
that whenever you want to use a word
IN anyone's presence that you do not
wish him to understand it ought to be
spelled out.
There was chicken for dinner when
the pastor came to dine, and he showed
his appreciation by requesting two
helpings. Only one piece remained,
and the cherub in the family had not
been satisfied. 1t was the father who
said:
"Mr. -, let me give you another
niece of chicken"
The pastor. with q show of reluc-
tance, passed his plate, and the pride
Of the family addressed his mother
Mamma, don't you think the preacher

MISFORTUNE CAME IN CLOUDS.

Extraordinary Serics of Mishaps..

New Jersey Family Was Visited by an
Extraordinary Series of Mishaps.
Francis Fielder, who lives at Turkey,
n. j., is wondering why misfortune is
persistently pursuing him and his fam
lily.
Recently his son Edward fell from a
scaffOlding at Long Branch and was so
badly hurt that for long time his life
was despaired of.
Then Mrs. Fielder slipped from the
stOOp Of her home, breaking her collar
bone and several ribs.
The next day Mr.. Fielder slipped on
some loose hay and fell out of the NOW.
He was shaken up so badly that he had
to keep in his bed for several days.
Next favorite horse died of glanders
and all his live stock had to be quaran-
tined and the outbuildings disinfected.
While this was being done message
was received from q son. Elbert, at
Asbury Park, announcing that he had
lost horse by theft.
The younger son, Garfield, was the
next victim of the family Nemesis. He
was riding his wheel to work when he
ran into q chicken and was thrown
against post, having a collar bone
broken and shoulder dislocated.
Now that all the members of the fam
lily and most of the live stock have been
victims Of misfortune in one way or
another, Mr.. Fielder hopes the fates
have been satisfied and that brighter
days are about to dawn.-New York

1t is related of Jefferson that. whilo
riding, in company with two youna
men, he came to a creek so swollen By
a shower that the water was up to the
saddlegirths.
A man, standing on the bank with .
saddle on his shoulders, looked at the
young men as they rode into the stream,
but said nothing. As Mr.. Jefferson came
along, the stranger asked II he could
not be allowed to mount behind and
thus be carried across.
The President reined his horse uD
to stone; the man mounted and, whe1
across, expressed his thanks and
walked away. Several men who had
seen the novel ferry asked:
What made you let the young men
pass, and why did you ask the old gen
tleman%
wal, IL you want to know. III tell
you. 1 reckon a man carries Yes q
No in his face. The young chap6
faces said No. the old un's Yes
1T isn't every one," said one Of The
party, who would have asked the
President Of the United States for .
ride"
What! You don't mean to say that
was Tom Jefferson, do you? Wal. he's
a fine fellow, anyway. What will Pol
ly say when tell her 1 have rid BE-
hind President Jefferson? She'll say Z
voted for the right man."

Montana may be the battle ground of
1913. But IL that shall come to pass 1t
will be because the middle West shall,
like the Eastern coast, have degener-
ate6-lOst its American fiber and be-
come center Of money instead Of
men.
The five States named i'm the begin
ning-IllinOis. Ohio, Indiana, WiscOn-
sin and Michigan-cOnstitute the back
bone of this republic. Great in agri-
culture and manufactures alike, they
never have succumbed to the enerva-
ting influences which have made the
older commOnwealths mere principali-
ties for political bosses and swollen
mOnopolists. The sturdy American
dominates the situation.
In that fact lies the hope of the DEM
ocratic party. That organization is
strong where Americanism is dOmin-
ant. 1t is weak where dollar worship
and reverence for tinsel aristOcracy
have superseded faith In republican
institutions. 1t follows that DemOc-
racy's strength is In the great empire
of the middle West. There it will give
battle. There, IL Americanism main
tains the balance Of power in this ma
ton, it will be victoriOus.-Chicago

DodRinx the Issue.

Some men In the pay Of the admins
tration syndicate at Washington seek
to distract attention from the real is
sues of the campaign. This is not to
say that they are all on the administra-
ton pay roll; they are simply consumed
with burning hope that they may be,
and deep-seated conviction that they
should be. The united efforts Of the
Republican managers and their helOts
is, evade the issues of the campaign.
The real issue, the real rock upon which
Mckinley should stand, or which. in
overturning, shall crush him, is his ad
ministratiOn. We prefer to attach our
belief to the crushing end of the propo-
sition. Countries have been looted, In
dividuals have been robbed, cOnven-
tiOns and contracts have been violated
by the ''business administration" Of
ours, and SO long as there We're other
countries and other people who were
robbed, we were inclined to endure 1t
until the horde Of contractors, option
grabbers and political porch climbers
were turned loose upon our own fair
land and nation. Tire scandal has be-
come 80 great that the last year Of the
administration in our newfOund col
Onies and protected islands constitutes
but a series of crimes.

Mckinley, ''and the menace Of 16 TO

sequences to credit and confidence, TO

WHERE STORMS FORM.
Nine Kinds Of Them, and They All Aim
at New England.

at New England.
United States storms, according TO
Prof. BigelOw, have nine average places
Of generation. The great majority
form in Alberta, north Of Montana,
and after coming into the United States
travel eastward. a few come in over
the north Pacific coast A third group
forms on the northern Rocky Mountain
plateau. A fourth forms in Colorado,
being born ON the very high mountain
GUS elevations. A fifth forms in the
Texas lowlands, and catching the gulf
winds and moisture moves eastward.
West Indian hurricanes form the sixth
class. The south Atlantic coast storms
make up the seventh class. Storms
which come in from the Pacific on the
southwest form the eighth, and finally
class Of minor storms is generated
in our central valleys. Some of these
storms come across the Pacific from
the Asian cost, and after sweeping
across the country go out over the At
lantic to Europe and even to Asia
again, but there is no record of storm
having circumnavigated the globe. But
no matter where these storms are gen.
Grated they always converge towards
New England. New England, in fact,
seems to be the stormiest spot in the
United States. A record Of ten years
ending with 1898 shows 1,142 storms,
all Of which headed toward and most Of
which reached New England.
The fOrecaster must consider the gem
eral confGuratiOn of the country in
reckoning for cold or hot waves, bliz-
yards, nOrthers and other manifesto
tions peculiar to certain localities. An
inexperienced prophet might predict.
for instance, a long record for pecu-
liar class Of Pacific storm, whereas
many Of them come In over the sea-
board, whirl violently until they strike
the Rocky Mountains, when, In en-
deavoring to climb the Divide, they are
dried out and dissipated in the upper
air, and are never heard of in the valley
beyond. Sometimes they break through
and head wildly for New England.
But the forecaster must know Of these
storm gateways. He must reckon with
the climatic properties of the "cold
pole" Of temperate America, that pc
culiar region surrounding Lake Winni-
peg, where the range Of temperature is
$50 degrees. the thermometer rising to
1O5 degrees above In summer and drop
ping to 45 degrees below zero in winter.
As Prof. Bigelow puts it, the giants Of
heat and cold stagger back and forth
across the country in perpetual con-
test, and the forecaster must be good
judge Of the staying power Of each

ARemedy for Nosebleed.

Children are occasionally troubled
with bleeding at the nose and in some
instances this becomes quite alarming.
especially when all known remedies
fail and the weakening flow still con-
tinues, and in this instance, as in many
others, the best remedy Is one Of the
simplest that could be tried. A cele-
brated physician has claimed in one Of
his lectures that the ''best remedy" is a
vigorous motion of the jaws, as in the
act of chewing. In the case of child
he recommends giving a wad of paper
to chew, as the rapid working of the
Jaws stops the flow Of blood.
