in the balance. recalls to mind some
personal experiences of brigands of

bloods are they; but wherever one
finds them or of whatever nationality
or mixture of nationalities they may
be, essentially the bands are much
alike.

Greece, in the smiling valley that

greater part, and all charming COM

SURE CURE FOR CATARRH.
At Least This Old Virginian youches
for the Efficacy of This Remedy.

At Least This Old Virginian Vouches
for the Efficacy of This Remedy.
From the New York Mail and Express.
An old Virginia breeder here to at
tend the Horse Show has an infallible
cure for catarrh. 1T seems to me-" he
said the other evening, that 80 per
cent of the people OF this city suffer
more or less from catarrh. II they will
do as I suggest they can cure them
selves in short order.
"A friend of mine who used TO live
In Yonkers had such a severe case OF
catarrh that he was compelled to givel
up his business and go to Colorado. The
doctors told him that the high altitude
of that state would benefit him. He re-
manned in Colorado nearly a year, and
then found himself as badly off as
when he left Yonkers. After he had
made up his mind that nothing could
cure him, and that he might as well
die at home as among strangers. he
met an old tinker, who gave him the
remedy which cured him in three
months.
dissolve little powdered alum In
a pint Of cider vinegar. Use the solu-
tion as a gargle three or four times a
day. IL won't do any harm IL you swal-
low some of it. Two or three times n
day. but particularly just before going
TO bed, dip a chicken feather in vase
line and stick the feather up IN the
nostrils. / suppose any contrivanca
bought at a drug store for the purpose
will do just as well as a chicken feath-
err, but the old tinker insisted that
there Was some medicinal virtue In the
feather.
1.-THE Eargle clears the throat andtha
lower portions OF the air passages from
the nostrils. The vasellne heals the dis
eased condition OF the affected parts.
In a week the sufferer will feel better.

such thing is lamentable, since she Is
worthy of better report. One of the
proud boasts of the town of Brattle-
boro, Vermont. is that Mary wilkins
lived there number of years.
The mention of Brattleboro recalls
the life Of Rudyard Kipling in this
country, for the most of it was spent
there. Kipling lived in a little one
story frame house about two miles
from the village until he built his Maui
iahka farther up on the hills. 1t was
IN the little three-roomed house that
he wrote iaost OF his Jungle tales, and
In Naulahka that Captains Courage
Gus" was begun and finished. A re-
cent canvass in New York school for
boys brought out the fact that Cap
tains Courageous" was by far the most
popular Kipling book read by the pu-
Pills. The jungle Tales received only
two or three votes.
Mr.. Kipling has always taken a
great interest in boys His autographs
can be obtained by sending him a re-
ceipt for shillings contributed to the
Rockingham Boys Club. In this, his
present home village, he organized the
boys club, and only recently he was
unanimously reelected president of the
Young Mems Rifle Club of Rotting-
dean. Some time ago he presented the
club with a machine gun, a regularly
mounted field gun of the 200 caliber
type, and the company is expected to
tage regular drill in it's use.
Last month showed naturally,
great increase I'm number OF books is
sued over October, and-not so natur-
ally-a considerable increase over the
corresponding month of last year
Every publisher claims that he is try
ing to limit his output, but at the same
time he feels that he must keep up
with the procession.
