THE PANAMA HAT.

This summer the Panama hat, the Hghtest. coolest, and perhaps the most accommodating type of masculine headwear is once again to be de rig ueur. It. is already prominent in the windows of the fashionable matters, who would far rather handle it than its straw competitor for the obvious reason that in the one case the price may run into pounds, whiie in the other it is usually a matter of few shillings
 Years ago the finest qualities of Pan- anna hats were worth from G20 to $ 30 piece. Indeed, they are to be had in London to-day for 9 guineas each, which seems a pretty high figure in view of the eccentricity of our English climate. to say nothing of the breyity of human existence.
 The price at least suggests that the Panama hat is distinctly possessed of staying qualities. and of this there can be no doubt. since with reasonable treatment it will last from five to eight years and look well all the time. yIhe secret appears to be never to send such a hat to be cleaned in the ordi- nary way, since the Use of acids will inevitably impoverish the plait. Oc- casional sponging with a little cold water will remove all traces of dust and dirt and render the article as good as new
 The chief claim of the twenty five guinea hats to distinction consists in the extreme fineness of the plait. which makes them a trife lighter. and ena- bles them to be folded up into a some what closer compass. The gain, how ever. is relatively only small in these respects as compared with what to use description which in the cireum- stances seems almost misleading. must be called the coarser Alnd. These lat ter really wear better. and sufficiently realize all the advantages of the Pan- ama. There Is. indeed. no reason why anybody should give more than ( , for this type of hat in order to insure the possession of drst-class afticle-Lon- <1on Telegraph

l. 1.-the Escurial keep on going' Maria Cristina put her arm around her son and bowed with smile. That action 1 epitomizes her life For sixteen years her arm has shielded her boy and a smile has been the answer to insult. When proposal was made to increase her allowance beyond that usually granted to dowager queens an opposi- ton Seville paper favored it because ''she was encourageous and she had l loved much.'
 Just before one of the periodical riots in Madrid the queen quietly had a telegraph wire strung from the city to the Escurial. She then retired to the Escurial with considerable ostenta- tion. A general in the regular army who was to be leader of a coup d'etat left the barracks with the troops under his command about tlfe time he thought the queen was well settled in the Es- curial. An acquaintance with, one hand waving welcome and the other on a telegraph Instrument called to know what the general was doing with so many troops. T am trying new sad dies, he answered.

ALL IN THE FAMILY.

'T had hired man to drive me across the country between two vil- lages in Sanilac county" said De- troit drummer, "and we had scarcely got started before I Found one of the toughest roads I ever travelled The old horse was a goer, and the shackelty buggy bumped and bounced over the ruts until felt it my duty to observe:.
 Aren't you afraid of smashing the wheels of your buggy over these rough places?"
 When we had got another mile I thought l heard the snapping of iron and said so, but without checking the horse in the least the driver replied:
 Z" Shouldn't wonder if we had broke something, but my son Joe is q black smith, you know
 We presently struck q spot where the ruts were deep enough to bury an OK, and as the man was pitched almost over the dashboard by one of the ec- centric movements of the crazy old ve- hicle, I said:

 No, no joke, but my son Tom is doctor, you see, and there win be no bill to pay

years he served as an officer of that
society. Mr.. Fluke's death occurred
while he was at work on his farm
just east of Oakdale cemetery. The
Fluke home is at 1910 Farnam street,
in this city, but Mr.. Fluke had been
in the habit of driving out to his
farm during the day and returning in
the evening. -'londay evening Charles
Kober, brOther-in-law of Mr.. Fluke,
was passing the farm and he noticed
the owners horse standing by the
roadside and hitched in the same po-
sition that he had observed it earlier
IN the day. AS the hour was much
later than Mr.. Fluke's usual time of
leaving Mr.. Kober decided to inyesti-
gate. He found Mr.. Fluke living on
the ground behind the barn. The
coroner was called, but as Mr.. Fluke
had been in poor health for years,
an inquest was not necessary, il be-
ing evident that his sudden passing
was due to heart trouble. Mr.. FIuke
was Ga years of age and had lived in
Scott county for the past 81 years
He is survived by his wife. Cecilia,
four brothers, Orlando, Orville. Thorn
as and Edward, and two sisters, Mrs.
Cooper and Mrs. Reading The flu
neral will be held tomorrow morning
from the home, with interment at

AN IDEAL MEDICINE.
New Discovery Which Cures All Forms
of Catarrh.

OF Catarrh.
The tablet is the ideal form in
which to administer medicine, but
until recently no successful catarrh
tablet has ever been attempted
There is now. however, an excellent
and palatable remedy for catarrh in
tablet form. known as Sfuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, and sold by druggists,
composed of the most recent discuv-
cries in medicine for cure of !catarrh.
and results from their use have been
highly gratifying.
The old time treatment of catarrh
was in the form of inhalcrs, washes,
douches, sprays. etc. Later ON inter
nal remedies were used with greater
success, but being in liquid or powder
form were inconvenient to use, and
like all medicines in liquid or powder
form, lose their medicinal properties
when opened or exposed to the air.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
highly concentrated antiseptics. by
drastin. blood root and red gum.
which kill the catarrh germs in the
blood and mucous membrane. and in
this respect are strictly scientific and
modern, because all authorities are
tutional blood disease, and local APP
plications can have only Il transitors
effect.
The use of inhalers, douches and
sprays is a nuisance and inconveni-
ence and can in no wise compare IA
yorably with the same antiseptics
given in tablet form internally.
where they can reach the stomach
and blood and kill catarrh germs
right where they are produced.
\ prominent lawyer and public
speaker of Pittsburg says: Il hav.
been troubled with catarrh of the
head and throat for II years. In this
climate it seems impossible to get rid
of it. The continual dropping of
mucous from the nose into the throat
caused irritation and hoarseness. ser
iously interfering with my public
speaking. 1t took me an hour or
more of coughing, gagging, eNpector
ating and sneezing every morning be-
fore | could settle down to work.
and this condition gradually brought
on catarrh of the stomach, causing
loss of appetite, poor digestion and .
foul breath. which annoyed me ex-
ceedingly. My physician advised me
to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and !
took them for two months and was
astonished to find how quickly they
cleared my head. throat and stomach,
and | have no hesitation in recon-
mending them. They are not only
pleasant to take, but they seem to
get at the very root of the trouble.
because since using them l have had
no trace of catarrh.
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's at 80 cents for full sized pack
age
They can be carried in the pocket
and used any time and as often as
desired since they contain no cocaine,
mercury or any other injurious drug.
