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. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is 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-

ents is what produces such wonder.

OUR CHILD-LovING PRESIDENTS.

Probably no incident in connection
with the death of eX-President Harri-
son has touched so many hearts as
Elizabeth: What wouldn't l give
to be able to go and take walk with
your While he was occupying the
White House the country had already
discovered the child-loving side of
his character, and many familiar pho
tographs will make him known to
posterity as "the president and Baby
Mckee" In this fondness for chill
dren Benjamin Harrison is by no
means alone among our presidents.
The New York World recalls that
Thomas Jefferson was a confirmed
child-lover, and after he had exhaust
ed the delights of baby-play as father
he began all over again and enjoyed
them still more as grandfather.
Seven children were born to Thomas
Jefferson-all girls but one. They all
died in childhood except the oldest,
Martha, afterward Mrs. Randolph.
When their mother died, in 1882,
leaving him with three girls-aged
respectively 10 years, 4 years and
(the youngest) 4 months-Thomas
Jefferson, the man of whom we rarely
think except as a splendid figure in
public affairs, giant intellectually
and physically even in an age of
giants, became, to use Mrs. Ran
dolph's words, their chief nurse. ="
Wherever his busy life as statesman,
diplomat, party leader, vice president
or president carried him, ne always
found time to scribble notes to his
small children and grandchildren
notes that were full of child-talk such
as only heart full of genuine child
love could instruct the pen of man to
write.
Abraham Lincoln was as fond of his
boys as Thomas jefferson was of his
girls. Unlike Washington, the stately
and childless George, we can easily
think of Father Abraham" rocking
the cradle and trying to quiet and
aml.se the children. His pathetically
sad face, all of whose portraits haunt
one with their mournfully anxious ex.
preston. found its chief motive to re-
Taxation in the play he had with his
little boys. The decorum of a cabinet
meeting, in the days when every cabi-
net was d COuuCll VI WdTY DlS Will LnS
fate of the union armies and the union
itself, was often suspended for few
moments while little Tad ran in
climbed on Father Abraham's knee
and got license to do something OF
other that was frisky and irregular.
So, too, the softest spot in Gen
Grants heart was the same-his love
for his children. Chary of speech tc
the world at large and reticent even
with those who had his confidence, the
great commander was q merry tattleT
to his little ones. 1t is a very com
mon characteristic of men of excep-
tional power to be child-lovers.
Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo arc
typical literary instances. Both Of
them loved little children with 10 We
that excelled all their other affections.
Hugo sings of them:
Into our world of light and bitter wrong
They've come; God gives them US awhile;
His speech IS on their stammering tongue
And His forgiveness in their smile.
And Dickens writes: II love these
little people, and it is not a slight
thing when they, who are so fresh
from God, love u.s."
And who has not read with infinite
pleasure Longfellow's beautiful
''Children's Hour?"

 When Caldwell applied the match and was turning to the crowd, about 1,00( in number he said:
 Gentlemen. I Lave not slept since this brute murdered my wife. but I be- lieve can sleep peacefully tonight" He then thanked the men for their assistance in his capture. Wilder only once asked to be shot and then he said: \ God. you have stood by me in times past; ask you to do so now" Wilder's legs were burned off and his body charred. His face Is still recog. nizable and he will be left where he burned until Thursday afternoon so all who may desire can see him and be sure the right man has been burned The officers did all in their power tc protect the man, but were not equal tc the army of men bent on lynching the negro.
