THAN A FUNERAL.
He Concluded to Pay the DoctOr'e
Bill as an Economical
Move.

A well-known North Dakota magistrate
tells the following story, for the truth of
which he vouches: At small town in the
state there were two doctors; one of whom
had great reputation for the cures he eff
fected, and the other was not believed to be
'.much good" The favored doctor found his
services in great request, but as payment
was not always forthcoming he made rule
that a certain class of his patients should
pay in advance.
One winters night he was reused by two
farmers from hamlet ten miles away, the
wife Of one of whom was seriously id. He
told them to go to the other doctor, but
they refused, saying they would prefer his
services. very WELL" replied the medico.
"in that case my fee is ten dollars, the money
to be paid now"
The men demonstrated, but the doctor was
obdurate, and shut down his window. He
waited, however, to hear what they would
say. .Wel, what viii we do now" asked
the farmer whose wife was i'll. And the re-
ply that was given must have been as graf
flying as it was amusing to the listening doc
tor. 1t was:
''I think you would better give it. The
funeral would cost you more"

He snored in Two Keys.

The night clerk of leading hotel of Wash
ington, d. c., says that last winter south
ern congressman came to him and demanded
that his room be changed. When asked
what displeased him, he replied, angrily:
"Well, that German musician in the next
room and don't get along well. Last night
he footed away on his clarionet so that |

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials. Address F. j. Cheney & Co., To-

HOW A PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL
ESCAPED DREADED C0NSUMP ton.
ALPS Well That Ends Well.

It is the same old story of exposure to
cold. The cold passing down the bronchial
tubes to the lungs; the developing of set
lied cold on the lungs, coughing, expectora-
ton. This is short road to consumption.
Thousands ,ds OF people have trayeed 1T. thou
winter will develop an untold multitude of
new cases.
In the case of Helen Murphy, the ending
was happy one. She started on the road
to consumption after catching cold at re-
.eption. Instead of waiting until she be-
came incurable, Peruna was resorted to and
her life was saved.
It is pity that everyone else in this wide
land could not know of this very effective
remedy in such cases. The news is spread
ing fast but great many people have not
yet heard that Peruna is a sure cure IN these
cases.
Peruna cures, acute catarrh and chronic
catarrh; catarrh of the head and catarrh of
the lungs; catarrh Of the throat and catarrh
of the stomach. Wherever catarrh may
have located itself, whether in the digestive
organs, kidneys or pelvic organs, Peruna is
| sure to eradicate the disease promptly.
Another case where consumption was
cheated of its prey occurred in the state of
| siderable attention at the time and was fur
nished US unsolicited by Mr.. Henrickson.
In letter to DR.. Hartman he sets forth
| some interesting details of his rescue from
| consumption. He made use of the following
language:
''I have been for years a constant sufferer
| from chronic catarrh of the head and
throat, which finally worked down into the
| air passages. In the spring of '98 took a
| severe cold and coughed all summer. l
| thought I had consumption. Then I had a
bad attack of la grippe. After taking q
course of Peruna l feel cured of all these
| troubles.
t'Whenever any of our children get sick we
give them Peruna, and it never fails to cure
them. / most heartily testify to the value
| of Peruna in cases of catarrh and la grippe
[ hope this may be the means of others suf
fering as 1 did to take Peruna and be cured
We would not be without it in the house.
| Henry Henrickson.
| Generally the first cold of the season X
1 caught in November. With some people
this lasts all winter and lays the foundation
of chronic catarrh. In the beginning few
doses of Peruna is sufficient to make a per
| manent cure.

very popular in the city or neighbor-
hood where you live, but I warrant
if you are in active life there are those
who wish you the opposite of wishing
you well. Are you benevolent? They
say it is on your part q matter of per-

learned? They declare you are
overrated and that what you say
or write is of no Importance. Do
you try to make yourself effect
i've in church or hospital or board
of directors? They call you offcious.
Are you well dressed? They say you
are proud. Does a false report start

acter? They believe it all and add an
other story to the fabrication. Some
of them pretend to be friends, but
they have the cudgels all ready for
you-Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the

1t Is probable that the earliest sun

thing to notice that the shadow short

and that the shortest shadow always
pointed In the same dlrectlon-north.
The recognition would have followed
very soon that his MONDAY shadow
changed It's length from day to day
A slx-foot spear would give a shadow

THE SHOPPER ABROAD.
II. /. no. :. E..,ly suited In Franc.

He IL not - Easily suited In France q
He Il In America.
Men accustomed to American clothes
are great sufferers in France. 1t Is
almost impossible In Paris to get a
proper string tie. French collars are
ugly in shape-too low for American
ideas-and made Of heavy linen.
French collar buttons are beneath con-
tempt; they are Joke. and It is an
unwise man who has less than three
before him when he starts to unite
his thick. badly fitting collar to his
worse-ftting shirt. French shirts are
invaribly too low In the neck and have
yards of superhuous cloth in them.
1t is impossible to buy In France q
negligee shirt with collar attached, al
though some of the English places will
make them at high price. Shoes are
clumsy and dear and the shape Of the
French hat is not to be trusted. That
any OF these things shall be all right,
one must go to the English tailors and
outfltters who have established shops
In Paris. These places, while never
the equal Of the London places, are
much more expensive, says the New
York Tribune. On the whole, unless
a man makes periodical visits to Lon
don, he Is pretty badly of in Paris so
far as clothes are concerned. A wom-
an Is worse of, for she can rarely find
the things she misses In the London
shops. In regard to all cotton things.
the Paris shops are huge failures. De-
cent sheets are $3 a pair in Paris and,
while elaborately trimmed and hand
made. underwear Is cheaper there than
here. Good-htting, nicely made gar
ments cannot be found for moderate
price. The woman OF limited means
sighs for the American shops when her
stock OF underwear gets low. It Is alb
solutely impossible for woman to
find a decent linen collar in Paris or
a ready-made shirt waist that will pass
muster. She is. indeed. fortunate II
she can get anything OF this sort prop
erly made to order at high price.
French women wear cheap underwear
and clumsy shoes; the footgear that
a French woman shows when lifting
her skirt is astonishing. Stockings
are expensive and badly shaped. unless
one pays the equivalent OF 10 cents a
pair. This refers only to cotton and
lisle-thread stockings. for silk stock
ings are included among the luxurious
articles that are cheap. On the whole,
1t is cotton and woolen goods that are
expensive in France. These articles
should be cheaper in England than
they are in America, and they are: but
they are SO poorly made as to be i'm
possible for American taste. In COM
bining comfort and style with modest
price. no European country equals
America.
