CAUTION!

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase for 75c the only remedy universally
known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the world
since 1868 for the cure and treatment of
Consumption and Throat and Lung trou-
lies without losing its great popularity
all these years, you will be thankful we
called your attention to Boschee's Ger
man Syrup. There are SO many ordinary
,ough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing like
German Syrup. Sold by all druggists in
the civilized world.

The managers of the Democratic party

all manner of statements as to registra-

LIES OF NINE LIVES.
Fabulous Tales About Snakes That
Charm and Bank of England
Arrangements.

lie that nothing seems able 20
kill is the fable of the snake fascinat-
ing its prey. 1t is always bobbing
up serenely. Travellers, otherwise
truthful, think ii necessary TO put it
in their books; novelists use it in all
good faith, and il appears in the pa
pers once in every six months, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The whole yarn is a complete myth.
No snake has any power of fascina-
tion; not even a boa constructor.
Snakes lie !. wait for their prey,
pounce on it ana make a meal of it,
without any frills or etiquette, but
nothing can kill the story. A com
panion lie that generally goes with
it is the one about the serpent lick
ing his prey all over before swallow
ing it TO make the job easy. There
Is not a jot of truth in this statement
either; but since the notion was start
ed by a traveller with a vivid imagina-
ton, il has reappeared regularly, and
endless books on zoology have copied
it as truth.
The great British bated-breath story
Is that the enormous wealth in the
Bank of England storerooms is sunk
under water every night, so as to be
secure against theft. A huge tank Il
said to lie under a sort of platform
that holds the heaped millions, and
at the touch of button the whole
affair lowers itself into the tank, and
is covered by about nine feet of wa
ter. This is absolutely bosh; but moth
ing seems able TO kill the fable. 1t
resulted originally from the sugges-
ton of mad inventor "crank" long
time ago, when ideas for the securi-
ty Of Britain's wealth were being dis
cussed. The fact is, the whole bank
building is built "thief-proof," and all
night body Of soldiers patrol the pas
sages and corridors. But the sub
merged-gold idea is still in the best of
health
