j ewish Holiday.

Saturday was Yom Kippur, the ami
versary day of the stonement of the
Children of Israel, and it was generally
observed by all the Hebrews in this
vicinity. 1t is the most largely observed
of all the Jewish fast days. All Hebrews
in good health were expected to abstain
from taking food of any kind from sun
down Sunday until the same hour Sun
day. Business of all kinds is generally
stopped and in cities where there are
synagogues the Jewish people spend the
whole day in praying As there is no
synagogue here only fasting was OBJ
served. At West Rutland the Hebrews
have room where they hold services
and at Burlington there are two large
synagogues.

SIMPLY
''"' BREATHE IT.
A FEW MINUTES USE OF
HY0MEI FOUR TIMES A
DAY CURES CATARRH.

The pleasantest, most convenient and
the only scientific method for the treat.
ment and cure of catsrrh is Hyomei.
Simply put twenty drops of Hyomei in
the inhaler that comes with every pack
age and then breathe for a few minutes
four times day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
way for treating catarrh will effect a
cure, but the most important discoveries
of science have always been the SIM
plest. BY breathing IIyomei in this way
every particle of air that enters the air
passages of the throat and head and goes
into the lungs, is charged with healing
balsam that kills the germs and bacilll
of catarrh and soothes and allays all irri-
tatlon.
The first days use Of Hyomei will
show decided improvement and in a
short time there will be no further
trouble from catarrh. Its action is rapid
and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs Sl.00 and if after
using you can say that it has not helped
you, DR.. ID. A. Bisbee will return your
money. What other treatment for
catarrh is sold under guarantee like
this: None other has sufficient merit.

a aise Alarm.

The alarm of fire about ten o'clock on
Friday morning occasioned considerable
excitement and gave the fire companies
an opportunity to prove what their races
the day before indicated, that they are
as quick to duty as when on parade.
Both companies had their hose attached
to hydrants In very short space of time
after the alarm was given. The fact that
there was no cause for the alarm does not
initiate against the firemen; it was their
duty to respond TO the alarm, and they
did it with an alacrity that speaks well
for the discipline Of the department
and the fremen should not have been
subjected to the adverse criticisms of
ou-lookers who had no personal interest
in the fire or the actions of the firemen.
The alarm was caused by a stopped flue
in the furnace of Mr.. Bonds heater which
filed the store with smoke, the alarm be-
ing given by an outsider not acquainted
with the circumstances, though the
store attendants explained the cause at the
start.

Letter to Gideon D. Miner.
Middlebury, VT,

Dear Sir; If you buy paint by the
gallon, look out for short measure.
There are great businesses founded on
ten per cent. short. 1t is queer that a
man or concern'll expose his or its naked
ness so; but he does, and it does. Look
out.
But that isn't all to look out for. Some
give full measure, and cheat in the quality.
What do you paint for, the looks? or TO
keep your house from rottlng? Both, Of
course.
A big hOtel-man painted Devoe eight
years ago: was going to paint it again
eight years is good long time for a
hotel, you know-struck bargain saved
five cents a gallon: and missed Devoe.

Siqns of Winter.

The first hard, killing frosts of the
season in this vicinity were Thursday
and Friday mornings. The temperature
went so low in some places in the county
as to form quite thick ice on still water.
Killing frosts and cold, freezing weather
has held off remarkably this fall. 1t is
interesting to note that Just one month
and day later, or Nov. II, snow fell in
this vicinity and remained until spring.

The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1902-11-18

The newspapers told this week a
ritifaI story-the story of an old
wife's undying love and devotion for
a drunken husband. For days Mrs.
Annie Fisher, Of Baltimore, Mary
land, aged 60 years, followed her
drunken husband from place to place
until he finally sobered up in Rich
mond Va. This old wife, her heart
breaking with sorrow, followed this
drunken man, on foot whenshe could
not beg a ride, slept in police bar
racks, did without food, Suffered in
body and mind for days that she
might watch and protect, as best she
could, the man she had given her
wffely love to, while he made beast
of himselfby the use Of strong drink.
Finally, when he had ended his long
dehauch, tottering from old age
and the effects of dissipation, hand
in hand with the woman who would
give her life for him, he started on
his long tramp for home, fer he had
no money to pay their way on the
cars.
What a picture for the INDY ing
love of woman for the object Of her
affection 1t has ever been thus.
Before day when Ruth turned from
her own home, her own kindred her
own God, even, to follow and sacri-
fee for the one she loved, woman
was. and will ever yet be, ready to
sacrifice her all on earth or brave
the terrors Of hell for the one she
loveds. no mattea if he neglect her
no matter if he sees her suffer, no
matter if he acts the brute, no mat
ter what he does, if the wife has but
the memory of time when his love
for her was warm and true, she will
suffer all agonies and endure all
sorrows for her husbands sake. All
the world may turn from him and
her. but she will never leave him.
Annie Fisher says she cliugs to
her husband through all his sins and
rnisdeeds because he loves when
he is sober, and she viii not forsake
him when he needs her. No, not if
the path lead her to Inferno would
she cease to 90 with him. Foolish
and mistaken love, you say? Per-

GOSSIP has made many hell on
earth. 1t has sullled the character
of many a noble and innocent man
and pure and respectable woman, it
has made enemies of life long friends,

misery and unhappiness, enmity

The tongue of gossip drips subtle
