A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The Sun"

All Doctors have tried to cure
Catarrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous
membranes causing them to crack open
and bleed. The powerful acids used in
the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers
have aimed to cure, while pastes and
oiutments cannot reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner
who has Tor many years made q close
study and speciality of the treatment OF
Catarrh, has at last perfected treat
ment which, when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently
cures Catarrh, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing all
Inflammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reaches
the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy is known as "Snuffles the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure, and is sold
at the extremely low price of one dol
lar, each package containing internal
and external medicine sufficient for a
full months treatment and everything
necessary to its perfect use.
'Snuffles' is the only perfect
Catarrh cure ever made and is now
recognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. 1t cures all Inflammation
quickly and permanently and is also
wonderfully quick to relieve hay fever
or cold in the head.
Catarrh, when neglected, often leads
to consumption-"Snuffies" will save
you if you use it at once. 1t is an ordi-
nary remedy, but complete treat
ment which is positively guaranteed to

used according to the directions which

FAUsT's WILD CHARGE.
1t Sent Marguerite Flying In Te1ro,
From the Stage.

From the Stage.
The name Of the hero of this anec-
dote l shall not give you, for he has
long since been gathered to his fathers.
Let it suffice that in his heyday he
was one of the greatest tenors who
ever sang to breathless and enthusi-
astic audience. He had a penchant.
however, for the red, red wine, which
In the end proved his undoing and ulti-
mately provided pathetic ending for
an otherwise great career. In his prime
his drinking seemed only to affect his
legs, but never his head or voice. He
could always sing and sing true, but at
times he had no more ability to guide
his wandering footsteps than has q
sufferer in the last stages of locomotor
ataxia.
At one time, when he was singing
Faust to Emma Abbott's Marguerite,
he appeared at the opera house In an
apparently hopeless condition. Tho
management was wild, but there was
no one to take his place. and SO they
had to chance it with him as Faust.
All went well until they came to that
scene where Faust, In leaving Margue-
rite, crosses the stage and then, giving
way to an impulse, rushes back and
kisses Marguerite yet once again ere
taking his departure.
Faust on this occasion got to the 9TH
er side of the stage all right, but trou-
Bile arose when he tried to get back.
Marguerite sits in the window of her
cottage, and Faust comes back and
kisses her through the window. Faust
measured the distance with a wabbling
eye, but made start when his cue
was given. Then he seemed to lose
control of himself. One-quarter way
across he was trotting, one-half way
the trot was run. and the remainder
of the way it had become gallop.
Up to this point Miss Abbott stood
her ground bravely, but that rapidly
approaching figure awed her, and with
a frightened scream she fed. Faust.
poor Faust, charged on. He reached
the place he had last seen Marguerite
and essayed to clasp the atmosphere In
outstretched arms. Then his Impetus
carried him through the window, and
all that the astounded audience looked
upon were his waving legs. Somebody
pushed him back, and, absolutely I'M
disturbed, he finished the opera, sing
Ing in an unusually superb manner.
Not so with the unfortunate Marquee
rite, however, for from then on she was
suffering from a case Of "rattles,"
which in simple justice should have
been the property of Faust.-New York
Tribune.

ALL Is SELFISHNESS.
The Wise Mans Theory and How 1t
Was Exploded.

after all,'' said the wise man, "what
is it but selfishness? The optimist who
goes through life whistling and singing
| songs of cheer is not entitled to any
special credit, because it is pleasure
to him to be happy. If it didn't make
him glad to be happy, he wouldn't be
that way. So you see selfishness lies
at the bottom of his good cheer.
"Then there is the pessimist. Is he
discouraged because he thinks it is his
duty to mankind to paint dark pic
lures? Not at all. His is another clear
case of selishness. He gratifies him.
self by being unhappy and trying to
make others so. Love, too, is selfish
ness. The maiden doesn't love the man
to make him glad. It's her own happi-
ness that she promotes in looking upon
him as the noblest work of God. Mans
love for woman has back of it the same
selfish motive.

the world. He loves it and loves to do
great things for it because it gives him
satisfaction to know that he is doing
well.
Consider it from whatever stand

arrive at the same conclusion. Every
thing that man does he does selfishly.
1t is always a case of gratifying his
own inclinations. IT.
Just then the wise man turned a SOM

was beginning to remember things that
had long been forgotten, his pupil
asked:

GOT A SENATOR'S HAT.

Actor Crane Appropriated the Head
gear of n Kansas Statesman.
Among the stories that are retailed
in the cloakroom Of the senate when
that body is in session at Washington
Is one of how William II. Crane, the
actor, put the finishing touches upon
his great character study, 1.-THE Sen
ator."
GAS you well know" said one of the
group, "Crane took his character al
most directly from Senator Plumb of
Kansas. Crane had just started out
with The Senator and had opened in
Washington. We had all seen the per-
Torrance and liked it immensely. But
thought l saw one defect. Crane
wore high silk hat, which was not at
all, according to my thinking in keep
ing with the imitation of Plumb, who
always wore the characteristic broad
brimmed hat of the southerner. One
evening when Crane, ingalls,. Plumb
and myself happened to be dining to-
gether l remarked to Crane about the
matter of the high hat.
"'You really ought not to wear it,
for it is not in keeping with the char
acter,' said 1. You ought to wear one
like Plumb's.'
"Crane did not say much in answer,
but when he arose from the table he
reached out for Plumb's hat and calm
ly put it on. Leaving his own hat for
Plumb, Crane went off down the street
with the old felt affair damned down
over his forehead. The senator was
too surprised to offer objection. The
next night Crane appeared on the
stage with Plumb's hat on his head
and thereafter wore it at every per-
formance."-Chicago Chronicle.

PRETTY IRISH GIRLS.
Why the Lasses of the Emerald Isle
Are Beautiful.

Are Beautiful.
The Irish peasant girls have long
been famous for their beautiful, clear
skins and healthy compilations. They
owe much Of their loneliness to the
moisture of the climate and the sim.
plicity Of their lives. Plain, wholesome
fare and rainwater for the wash basin
tell their own tale. No matter how
homely are the features of the genuine
peasant girl, her skin Is almost invaria-
bly, soft and firm, the arms nicely
rounded, the eyes brilliant and express.

gray or brown, the Irish eye is pecul-
iarly lovely and possesses luster all
its own. Long lashes shadow these be-
witching orbs-lashes that curl upward
to sweep the cheek when the face Ia
betrayed into bushes.
So much time is spent out of doors
that the feet, usually bare, become en-
larged. The ankle, however. is usually;
well shaped and neat, the instep high
and the skin of baby fneness. The
Irish girl of humble station is proud
of her shapely feet and believes that
walking through the grass before sum
rise in summer enhances their beauty,
which, of course, 1t does.
No seed to powder that fair skin-it
owes its peachy bloom to health, happi-
ness and the freedom Of outdoor life;
no need to resort to the rouge pot-the
roses are there hard and fast, natures
own coloring. The hands may be rough
by hard work, not diminutive. but
shapely; the hair FURNISHED and often
luxuriant.-London Answers.

Hart stated that he could find no ex-

the sentences of the two men and that
he believed crimes of this sort should
receive the limit of sentence allowed
by law. Judge Harris long sentences

who has pleaded guilty. Enright
