more than any other great player
used the faculty of talking during
match to unnerve his opponent. YET
there never was a man who playeo
Carter who could object to the lat
ter's remarks. In fact, I have seen
Carter playing with men like Ives
Cation, Gallagher, Maggioli, Sutton
and Schaefer, when his rivals would
have to turn aside from the table TO
laugh over some witty sally made by
Carter.
Garter travelled extensively" SAID
one of his acquaintance, "and espe-
cially in Europe did he meet very
polished people who regarded bill
lizards as the greatest of all games
for gentlemen. Some of the remarks
which came like constant flow OF
humor were made in tone loud
enough for the spectators at the
matches to hear, and many time,
even when losing, the wit of the born
billiard player would throw the house
into commissions of laughter. Had he
not sought the green cloth for his
fame he had been a success on the
stage. In Paris, when he and Vignaux
were beating all corners at three
cushions, Carter got the reputation
for being the most versatile billiard
list the French had ever known"
In reply to a query [ once asked
fundamentally after his arrival
home after his second foreign tour
''How many matches have you played
in, Carter?" he said: mot as many
as should have played, more than
I could win and many more than any
other professional I can name" The
sobriquet, 'Ycn Know Me, Gene" APP
piled to Carter universally, originated
with himself. No matter what the
terms were for a proposed match or
how many offers he received, his in
variable reply was: "You know me,
Gene"
It is said of Carter-he told it to
me-that on one of his provincial
trips in France he was invited to a
chateau to play for an old Bourbon.
Everything about the magnificent
country home was elegant except the
billiard tables. The worries were SO
old and warped that it was almost
impossible to execute fine shot. The
Frenchman did not realize this. Car
ter's friends, two Americans, urged
him to excuse himself. you'll only
make bad showing" they said. 'You
know me- replied Carter, and, walk
ing to the table, he swept up the an
cient spheres and exclaimed, with a
flash of the courtier of long ago:
"Monsieur does me the great honor
of asking me to perform some bill
lard shots on his table. The occasion
is too great a one to use such plebe-
ian globes as ivory-they are used ev-
erywhere. [ see some crystal globes
on the chandeliers. They sparkle like
the wit of the monsieur. If you will
watch [ will make them respond to
the cue" Of course the Frenchman
declared that it would be an injustice
to the player to handicap himself by
playing with cut crystal balls, and
during the polite ''parley'' Carter
slipped set of accurately turned
worries on the table. He carried these
balls for just such emergencies. The
exhibition proceeded, and tip to the
attendant after the play resulted in
the reinstatement of the old worries
and the sliding of the little box of
true balls into Carriers overcoat. "You
know me- was all Carter had to say
TO his American friends as they left
the billiard room.

Milwaukee Sentinel: When the death
Of a prominent west side business man
was announced not long since, one of
his distant relatives, who had known
him intimately years before, felt it his
duty to attend the funeral. Although
the engrossing cares of business life
and the long distance between their
places of residence had prevented the
men from continuing to the last the
friendship of earlier manhood, the dis
tant relative felt a sincere regret. AS
he approached the church in front OF
which the hearse and carriages We're
waiting he began to experience real
grief. AT times like thai a man will re-
member things.
He entered the church and sat we'll
toward the rear. After the solemn
music the minister spoke briefly of the
deceased as u man of u~,inpeachable
character. an honor to the business
world, IL a light in the church where
he had labored SO faithfully for years.
He referred to the many excellent traits
Of the deceased, his kindness as a hus-
band and father, and his sympathy
with everything that was good in life.
The distant relative acknowledged to
himself the truth OF every word that
was spoken. and began to experience a
deep regret that the early friendship
had been so neglected through many
years. ga
At the conclusion of the sermon the
usual opportunity was given those
present to pass in front OF the pulpit
and take a last look at the remains.
The distant relative moved slowly for
ward with the crowd and looked into
the casket.

Catarrh has already become a national
curse. Its ravages extend from ocean
to ocean.
More than one-half of the people are
affected by it. 1t has become such a
serious matter that it has passed the
boundaries of the medical profession and
become a national question. Senators are
talking about it; Congressman are dis
cussing it.
They are not only considering the ex-
tent and chronic nature OF the disease,
but the possibility Of finding a national
remedy to meet this national calamity.
The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems to
be the main expectation in this direc-
ton.

1t stands to-day before the nation as a

Peruna is not a local application or
