The birds are especially delightful to

and dewy freshness.
Nobody disturbs birds around our dwell

W INTEREST in Aaron Burr and his
daughter. Theodosia, has been revived
by the recent historical romanees deal
ing with that romantic historical fig-
ure. says the Houston Post. Following Is
a clipping from The Mobile Register OF
May o, 1898, giving the tragic story OF
the death of Mrs. Aston Crheodosia Burr)
at the hands of pirates:
The fate of Mrs. Aston, the accom-
plished lady of Governor Aston, Of South
Carolina and daughter OF Aaron Burr, has
been shrouded in mystery for more than
20 years Occasionally, indeed. some
CLEANS OF light have been thrown around
her melancholy end, and the belief is that
she fell a victim to piratical atrocity.
Some three years ago 1t was currently re-
ported that a man residing in one or the
interior counties of this state made some
disclosures on his deathbed which went to
confirm the confessions previously made
by a culprlt on the gallows, that the
vessel in which Mrs. Aston sailed was
scuttled for the sake of her plate and
effects. The following article, which we
copy from the Alabama Journal, goes to
throw some additional light on the sub

us, and will be probably to most of our
readers:
The public, no doubt, remembers the
story of the daughter of Aaron Burr, who
was the wife of Governor Aston, Of South
Carolina. On the return Of her father
from Europe, about the year 1872, she
embarked from Charleston or q visit
to him at New York on board a privateer-
built vessel, and was never heard of af-

thought the vessel had fallen into the
hands of pirates. and afterwards conclud-

from the statement of a respectable mer-
chant of Mobile that man died In that
city recently who confessed to his physi-
clan ON his dying bed that he had been
a pirate and helped to destroy the vessel
and all the crew and passengers on which
Mrs. Aston had embarked for New York.
He declared, says this gentleman, that

This naval dignity was conferred on her
by the late car, possibly for the reason
that her husband held the rank of high

Two Polish rustics who were badly afflicted
with rheumatism were recently taken to d
hospital in Frankfort. Each felt great pain in
one leg and the physician tried to alleviate 1t
by rubbing the leg.
One Of the rustics howled terribly while this
being done, whereas the other uttered not
a word; indeed, from the smile on his face
one would have said he enjoyed the rubbing.
After the doctor had gone away the one who
had howled asked: How in the name of heaven

screaming?'

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary in Order to Cure
 Catarrh.

The popular idea that the only cure for chronic catarrh Is change of climate. is a mistake because catarrh is found ir all climates in all sections of the coun- try; and even if a change of climate should benefit for a time the catarrh will certainly return.
 Catarrh may be readily cured in any climate, but the only way to do it is to destroy or remove from the system the catarrhal germs which cause all the mis- chief.
 powders and washes has been proven all most useless in making permanent cure, as they do not reach the seat of disease, which is in the blood and can be reached only by an internal remedy which acts through the stomach upon the blood and system generally.
 A new discovery which is meeting with remarkable success in curing catarrh of the head, throat and bronchial tubes and also catarrh of the stomach, is sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh Ia blets
 These tablets which are pleasant and harmless to take owe their efficiency to the active medicinal principles-of Blood Root Red Gum and new specific called Guaiacol, which together with valuable antiseptics are combined in convenient, palatable tablet form, and as valuable for children as for adults.
 MT. A R. Fernhank of Columbus, Ohio, says: I suffered so many winters from Catarrh that took it as a matter of course. and that nothing would cure it except a change of climate, which my business affairs would not permet me to take.
 My nostris were almost always clogged up: I had to breathe through the mouth causing an infiamed. irritated throat. The thought of eating breakfast often nause- ated me and the cata,rh gradually get ting into my stomach took away my ap- petite and digestion
 My druggist advised me to try a fifty cent box of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. be- cause he said he had so many customers who had been cured of Catarrh by the use of these tablets, that he felt he could honestly recommend them. I took his advice and used several boxes with re- suits that surprised and delighted me
 I always keep box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets ir the house and the whole family use them freely on the first appearance of a cough or cold in the head.
 With our children we think there is nothing so safe and reliable as Stuart $ Catarrh Tablets to ward of croup and colds and with older people have known of cases where the hearing had been seri- ously impaired by chronic catarrh cured entirely by this new remedy.
