Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it, because
it has been called some other name than
catarrh. The fact is catarrh is catarrh
wherever located; and another fact
which is of equally great Importance Is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located,

g girl who is unfaithful to her
mother will never come to be worth
a one-eyed button to her husband.
This is not guess. Perhaps it is
not written in the Bible, but it is
written in large, scarehead letters
in a misfit home. Let the boys read
the notice. 1t is a warning to them
when looking for wife. Shun that
house. Pass by on the other side.
Stop at another house, where the
girl who comes to the door with
roses in her face answers to your
invitation to go with you to the
party: I can't go for thirty min
utes for the dishes are not yet
washed You wait for that girl.
Sit right down on the doorstep and
wait for her because if you don't
some other fellow will come along
and carry her off and you have lost
a jewel. Wait for that girl and stick
to her like burr to mules tail.

More About Snakes.

AS was to be expected, there is
some demurring to the conclusions
of the JOURNAL in regard to the haD-
it's of ratt1e-snakes as published
last week. The statement was
made that ratt1e-snakes are not
aggressive; that they do not pursue
a person and that they do not jump
to strike but simply reach out with
that part of the body raised above
the coiled portion. The writer Will
confess that he is not very familiar
with the habits of the timber RATHER
having seldom met him on his native
heath, but as far as he has observed
him the published statements con-
corning his habits hold good. but
he has met great numbers OF his
congener, the massasauga, or black
rattle-snake, and never yet saw one
chase a person or jump the length
of it's body. These stories about
being chased by a snake we have
accepted as we do the fish stories
we often hear, as great exaggera-
tons, or the result of imagination
under the excitement of fright, But
it may be true that timber RATHER
will pursue person under prov
ocation, and possibly jump to strike.
If any one has seen it he knows.
The statements made here are

Prescott, at the annual school
meeting voted to adopt the free
text book policy and appropriated
500 to initiate the scheme. Itwould
seem that those persons who are
trying to improve the schools would
more generally discover that this
plan of furnishing free text books
is in line with practical improve
ment over the common method
where the pupil brings to school
what books he may happen to have.
Not one-fourth of the schools in the
county furnish free text books. All
