Little Umbrella story.

One rainy evening when traffic on
the elevated road was dull a guard on
the Sixth avenue line found a com
paratively new silk umbrella in one
Of the cars. When a lone passenger
entered the car at Park place, the
guard proudly showed his find.
1T comes in great for me tonight"
he said. This is my last trip, and
have long walk. l had no umbrella"
The lone passenger, who was also
without a rain protector, congratulated
the guard.
The two carried on a pleasant con-
vorsation, only interrupted by stops at
stations In time the train reached
the Eighty-first street station, where
the passenger was TO get out. The
guard had carefully deposited his um-
breila in a corner Of the front plat
form Of the car. While he was busy
opening the gates the passenger quiet
" lifted it from its resting place and
left the car. As the guard closed the
gates and gave the bellcord a vigorous
pull he saw his former passenger walk
ing along the platform carrying the
umbrella.
Hey. there! Stop it! Bring that
back shouted the guard.
Il need it myself" replied the recent
passenger.
Come back. 1 say! You are a thiefw
cried the guard as the train slowly pull
ed out
The new proprietor of the umbrella
only smiled as he walked down the
steps. He now shows the umbrella
to his legal friends and quotes the old
adage, Possession is nine points Of
the law. New York Times.

not made her appearance.

he looked up at the clock. Half an

John came back in about five min

'If you please, sir" he stammered
Miss Sheldon's not in her room, and
the maid says that the bed looks as If
it hadn't been slept in all night"
The rich merchants jaw fell.
He started up, with a cry of agony, to
go and see. but he was prevented by
the footman appearing at the door with
a telegram.
"A telegram" cried the merchant,
unfolding it with trembling hands.
'What can it mean? Has she been
found dead anywhere?"
This was the telegram:
Dear Father-Harry and / were married at

elopement till Harry assured me you had advised

excitement, had broken out into great

that he had himself advised Harry to

he would be the laughing stock of the
town. including-the hardest cut of all

that he had but one child and that she
was all in all to him.
So he accepted the inevitable and
telegraphed back:

To Know What You are Taking
When Using Catarrh Medicines

Catarrh IN the short route 70 con
sumption, and the importance Of early
and judicious treatment Of catarrh
whether located In the head, throat or
bronchial tubes cannot be too strongly
emphasized
The list OF catarrh cures is as long
as the moral law and the forms In
which they are administered, numerous
and confusing. from sprays, inhalers
washes, ointments and salYes to pow
deis, liquids and tablets.
The tablet form Is undoubtedly the
most convenient and most effective, but
with nearly all advertised catarrh RENEE
dies il il almost entirely a matter OF
guess work as TO what you are TAX
Ing into your system, as the propretOrs,
while making all sorts Of claims as TO
what their medicines will do, always
keep 1t a close secret as to what they
are.
The success and popularity OF the new
catarrh cure Stuart's Catawh Tablets,
Is largely because II not only cures
catarrh but because catarrh sufferers
who used these tablets know what they
are taking into their systems. Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets being composed OF
Eucolyptol. Hydrastlc, Guaicol and SIM
liar valuable and antiseptic ingredients,
and are pleasant to the taste and be-
ing dissolved in the mouth they take
immediate effect upon the mucous lin
ing Of the throat nasal passages and
whole respiratory tract
The cause that StuNts Catarrh Tab
lets have accomplished IN old chronic
cases OF catarrh are little short of re-
markable, and the advantage OF know
ing what you are putting into your
stomach Is OF paramount Importance
when II is remembered that the cocaine
or morphine habit has been frequently
contracted as the result OF using secret
catarrh remedies
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians, he
cause their antiseptlc character render
them perfectly safe forithe general pub
lie TO use and their composition makes
them common sense cure for all forms
OF catarrhal troubles
