1T is IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking When
Using Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to consump-
lion and the Importance of early and jul
dicious treatment of catarrh, whether To-
Gated in the head, throat or bronchial
tubes. cannot be too strongly empha-
sized
The list of catarrh cures is as long as
the moral law and the forms in which
they are administered numerous and con-
fusing, from sprays, inhalers washes,
ointmonts and salves, to powders, liquids
and tablets.
The tablet form Is undoubtedly the most
convenient and most effective, but with
nearly all advertised catarrh remedies 1t
is almost entirely matter of guessworlS
as to what YOU are taking into your sys-
tenn, as the proprietors, while making all
sorts of claims as to what their medicines
will do, always keep 1t close secret as
to what they are.
The success and popularity of the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
is largely because it not only cures ca
tarrh, but because catarrh sufferers who
used these tablets know what they are
taking into their systems. Stuarts Ca.
tarrh Tablets being composed of Red
Gum, Blood Root and similar valuable
and antlseptic ingredients, and are pleas
ant to the taste, and being dissolved In
the mouth, they take immediate effect
upon the mucous lining of the throat. ma
sal passages and whole respiratory tract
The cures that Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases
CT catarrh are little short of remarkable
and the advantage of knowing what you
are putting into your stomach is of pnra-
mount Importance when 1t Is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit has
been frequently contracted as the result
of using secret catarrh remedies
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets meet with cor
dial approval from physicians because
their antiseptic character render them
perfectly safe for the general public to
use and their composition makes them a
common sense cure for all forms of ca
tarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them for 80 cents for
full-sized packages.

MARRIEs AND SAVES JOB.
Young Man ina Lows Makes Kmexcu@~
able Mistake and Employees Im-
sists wedding.

1T does not always pay for man
to Scribble all over the face of the
earth the name of the woman he is in
love with" said prominent business
man the other day, according to the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, but it
saved one young fellow his job and
made a success of him. The man, who
was then a mere youth, was working
for me for $50 a month. / thought
good deal of his industry, intelligence
and accuracy. Suddenly he became
very unreliable, making all sorts of in
excusable mistakes. About the same
time 1 found the name Amy written
on blotters, loose scraps, on the wall
everywhere.
Il called the young man to me one
day and told him that he was getting
so careless and unreliable that / was
going to give him 80 days in which to
stop making mistakes or resign. Sud-
deny it occurred to me that the name
Amy was in his writing. Who is
Amyr l asked him, abruptly. He
blushed deeply. She's my sweetheart,
SIR he replied. We're going to get
married as soon as can save $500. I'm
putting away SIS month, and we'll
get married in year Hooked at him
hard, and he turned redder and redder.
No, you won't said 1; you'll be out
of job and. what's worse, unfit for
work before then. You go to Amy and
tell her she must marry you in a
month But / can't do that, SIR re-
piled the clerk; I'm only beginning to
save this month You do what / tell
YOU l rejoined. You tell Amy that
you've got her on the brain so that you
are not worth $40 month to me, and
that if she does not marry you in a
month you'll lose your job
THE poor fellow was in quandary.
She won't marry me- he said; / muss
wait till can give her home. How
can get $500 in a month"; oh, that's
all right, jim said; III let you have
the $500. You can pay it back to me
ten dollars a month. But you must be
married inside of 80 days. III give you
80 days TO go on making mistakes while
you're thinking of getting married and
getting used to being married. Then
no more mistakes or out you co. Well.
Jim made mistakes for two days. He
got married in 80 days exactly. That
was five years ago. To-day be and
his wife and two boys are s happy q
family as you could find anywhere.
He is stil working for me. He gets
nearly $3.50 month salary and the
first boy was named for me. Now. al
this shows merely that man should
not let love affect him like dope and
that most men achieve their best work

ing the big bears of the island. He
brought home with him he skin OF
60o-pounder, reports q Worcester
(Mass.) correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
The Kadiak bear is the largest mem
Der of the bear family. According to
DIR. Smith, it is not a grizzly, although
it closely resembles the silver tip of the
Rocky mountains. 1t has the grizzly
head. 1t has been reputed to grow 10
enormous size, even TO a weight of
1000 pounds, but DR.. Smith was un-
able to get evidence Rhat it exceeded
1,200 pounds, even in autumn, when
very fat, ready for it's long winter
sleep. The fur, when in its prime, is
rich brown and very thick, but in the
spring and early summer it Is rather
a gray than brown.

panied by Boston friend during his

days hunting brought them a $685.
pound bear, which fell to the rife of
the Boston man, the two having tossed
coin for the shot. The only other
bear they got was shot by DR.. Smith
on almost the last day of his hunting
in the middle of July, more than two
months after his arrival on the island.
1t was about 1890 p m, which was
dusk in that latitude. The doctor and
a native had followed the beast, and
got within 80 feet of her. She was a
mother with cub along, and was fish
ing in the shallow waters of little
river.
The Kadiak bear is a fish eater, and
this particular bear was in clover, for
the dog salmon were running up
stream in water only few inches deep
She reached with ner great pa w, armed
with claws more than three inches
long, and with a quick sweep, tossed
the salmon to the shore, where she
killed and ate them.
DR.. Smith believes that the Kadiak
bear almost equals the grizzly in fierce
ness, but he holds that neither bear is
nearly so dangerous to hunt as their
reputation would indicate. Their eye
sight is poor, and they seldom see the
hunter, and, unless wounded and cor
nered, they prefer to run rather than
fight. The Kadiak bear has the speed
of a fast horse. DIR. Sni has hunted
big game in Africa and has xilled lion.
elephant, and rhinoceros, hunting on
foot, but he has never seen any wild
beast travel with such speed as the
Kadiak bear. As for the danger, he
would much prefer to shoot Kadiak
bear than any of the big cats. so far
as the risk of life is concerned.

DR.. A. Donaldson Smith has re-
turned from London. where he at
tended the annual meeting ard din

ETY., of which he is a fellow. The
meeting was held at the Hotel Metro
pole on May 20, and DIR. Smith
shared with Duke d'Abruzzi, of the
italian royal family, the honor of
receiving a gold medal conferred by
the society for geographical research.
Gold medals are usually awarded at
the annual meetings, but never more
than two a year.
DIR. Smith is the fifth American
upon whom this honor has been con-
ferred, says the Philadelphia Press.
The others who received the decora-
ton were Elisha Kent Kane, Lieut..
Greedy, Lieut.. Peary and Commission
er Rockhill, WHO is now in China.
The two medals presented by the
Royal society this year possess addi-
tional value from the fact that they
are the last to be struck bearing
Queen Victoria's head. In the future
the medals will bear the head of the
king, who has become the patron and
honorary president of the society.

DIsBANDING A GREAT ARMY.
Retirement of United States Troops
That Served In the Philippine
Islands.

An important event in the history of
the United States was the sailing from
Manila of the transport Fitzpatrick
with the 80 officers and the lob men
of the Firty-third regiment, United
States volunteer infantry, in time to
enable the war department TO carry
out the provisions OF the law which
called for the mastering out of all vol
unteer troops by June 80, 1901. This
was the last regiment to be disband-
ed, says the Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
BY act of March 2, 1899, the army was
reorganized on the basis of $4,000 en-
listed men and $4,000 volunteers. vol
unteer service being for a term of two
years and four months, or until July
/. 1901. There was no trouble in get
ting enough men. The en,istments
showed what has been claimed by our
xanest patriots, that when the nation
needs help it can obtain ali it wants
for the asking. The American sol
der is the best treated, the best paid
the best fed of any fighters the world
mas ever KNOWN. Inc consequence Is
a higher standard of intelligence. con-
duct and efficiency than in any other
army. Whatever may be the fears of
other pc copies the United States is able
to take care of Itself. for it has been
calculated by political economists that
if necessity should arise this country
could arm, equip and keep in the
field 100000 soldiers.
The volunteer force of 5000, which
is now no more. was nearly 10000
larger than the Whole American army
before the outbreak of the war with
Spain, and many of the men have en-
listed in the regular establishment and
will continue to serve their country
for years to come. 1t is decidedly dan
gerous to make comparisons between
volunteers and regulars. but there is
glory enough for all. This was illus
trated in the operations against San
tiago from June to July IT. 1898, for
it was only three years ago when our
men of the Fifth corps were winning
the fight with Spain. The corps were
500 officers and 17,349 men, and the cas-
ualties in all the engagements num-
bered 1.6ss, of which 1.417 were among
the 1927 regulars and 271 among the
4,941 volunteers present for DUTY.
