"MY RESPECT TO MRS. BUC@ANIN."
1t was not until along in the sos
of the last century that the postoffice
department had reached sue / a state
of efficiency as to demand quarterly
reports from the postmaster of small
offices. Some of them wer remark
ably odd but the funniest one of all
came from Waterford, Fult on county,
this state. 1t is model 'of compre-
hensiveness, if not of e rammatical
precision. 1t is on file at the post

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

With local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Hall s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not
a quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is q regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting direct
ly on the mucous surfaces. The per-
feet combination of the two ingredi-
ents is what produces such wonder
full results in curing catarrh. Send

Lend. Money to Business Women

Chicago has business women's
loan association which suggests the
little societies that have long -four
ished in Germany, although it is less
of philanthropic enterprise and more
of a business proposition. The German
societies lend small amounts of money
to women desiring to go into business
for themselves, and records show that
the losses of the organizations have
amounted to very little. The Chicago
association lends money for the same
uses, but requires good security and
protects itself against any heavy loss.
The need of such an organization and
its success are an interesting COM
mentary on the eagerness with which
women are invading the business
world. -

Not the Greatest.

Smith, suppose Dobber regards
himself the greatest artist that ever
handled brush.
Jones-You do Dobber an injustice,
He never presumed to regard himself
in any such light. Why, l have heard
him say very modestly that he was a.
second Raphael. Isn't that admitting
that Raphael was a greater painter
than himself ?-Boston Transcript.

That's All.

SIN proof of the assertion that the
world is growing better" remarked OPP
tim, let me mention the fact that We
never find stones in the coffee we buy
at the grocery stores nowadays"
NO" growled Pessim. "The reason
for that is that most persons who buy
coffee have it ground when they buy it.
The grocers pick out the stones for fear
of running their mills. The world is
growing more enlightened in its selfish
ness. That's all."-Chicago Tribune.

HIGH COURT DECISIONS
AN ACT OF 1900 HELD BY SUPREME
COURT TO BE CONSTITUTIONAL.
The Street-RaiIway Company Had At
tackled the Law-Other Decisions
TIL County Courts.

The Supreme Court yesterday in an
opinion prepared by Judge Bowling in the
case of the Indianapolis Street-railway
Company against Ardella c. Robinson de-
clared constitutional the law Of 1899 ex-
empting plaintiffs in damage suits from
alleging their freedom from negligence con-
tributing TO the accident complained of.
The plaintiff in the court below recovered
a judgment of $500 against the street-car
company on account of injuries received
as a result of the breaking of a decayed
plank in a board walk in Fairview Park.
The company attacked the law of 1899 by
claiming il TO be special legislation, since
ii exempted from it's provisions all pending
litigation. Judge Bowling. however. decided
that this provision made the law merely
prospective and not special.
The Supreme Courts decision in the case
of Samuel f. Barney against the Indiana
Railway Company was interesting. Barney
built a driving park near Elkhart several
years ago and gave the Indiana Railway
ompan 500 on condition that II lay a
track to the park and have cars running
thereto by a certain time. This the COM
pany did, and operated cars to the driving
park for four years, when 1t took up the
track. Barney sued the railway company
demanding either $1,000 damages or the
restoration of the car service or the re-
turn of his donation of $500, with interest.
The Supreme Court denied him any relief
whatever, declaring that the company had
fulfilled its agreement when ii Dullt the
track and operated cars by the time specl-
fed, and that it had a perfect righ to re-
move the track when it saw ht to do so.
