The success achieved by Mark Twain
during his boating days on the Missis-
sippf river was due not only to the fact
that he was skillful pilot, but that
he was an earnest one, as well. Dur
ing a talk over old times at Mr.. Glenn
ens's summer home, Quarry Farm, Ell
mira, N. Y, recently, a guest VINO
knew Mr.. Clemens in those days told
the others how the genial humorist
once missed his boat. Instead of in
venting an excuse, as many of his COM
panions did, he reported to his superior
officer as follows: "My boat left al
6:1O. I arrived at the landing at 6;2t
and could not catch it,"

Former Governor Geer has been
placed in charge of the editorial de-
partment of the Salem Statesman. Mr..
Geer is one of the very best writers
in the country. with clear-cut way of
expressing bright ideas that attracts
his readers. He has wide knowledge
of public affairs in Oregon and in the
nation. The ex-governor seems not
yet to have grasped the idea that dis
cussion of his past political vicissitudes
is not an essential, or even interesting
part of his new duties. However, Mr..
Geer will make the Statesmans col
umns brighter and more popular, and
his addition to state journalism is
valuable one. The Astorian wishes
him we'll in his new field.

his fiancee, he got his ears boxed at
the Bordeaux Club. Ignorant of fenc-
ing he dared not resent the insult, and
renounced his engagement. But he al
so took fencing lessons from one Mon
serrat, a maitre d'armes of Toulouse.
Monserrat taught him one trick only,
and he practiced it for a year. At the
end of that time he returned to the
Bordeaux Club, slapped his mans face,
and, being called out, instantly ran his
opponent through the body with his
cunning lunge.

with bewildered expression was read

CURES CHRONIC CATARRH.
Hyomei Cures Worst Forms Of This Dr.
sease in any Part Of the System.


IT is the height of folly to continue
catarrhal disease by stom-
ach drugging, when the whole trouble
lies in the respiratory organs, where
nothing can reach the germs but To-
cal direct treatment by inhalation.
Hyomei is Natures remedy for the
cure of catarrh. just breathe it a
few times daily, and it will effect a
cure.
The medicated dry air that goes
through the air passages, and into the
lungs when Hyomei is breathed
through the inhaler that accompanies
every outfit, is rich in ozone, purely
vegetable and filled with marvellous
healing and strengthening qualities.
If you are tired of stomach drug
ging, and seem to grow weaker all
the time, throw physic to the dogs"
and get well with the health-giving
Hyomei treatment that is Natures
own method.
Rev. j. B. Cook, of Holliston, Mass,
says: MY wife has suffered greatly
from catarrh for fifteen years. Nearly
four weeks ago she commenced to use
Hyomei, and the beneficial effect was
immediate. 1t is very seldom that she
needs to clear her head and throat,
and she is able to rest quietly at
night. For years past she had been
troubled with pain in her limbs,which
we supposed was rheumatism, but
since she has used Hyomei that af-
Fiction has disappeared"
Feldmeyer Brothers will return
your money if Hyomei does not cure
you of catarrh. This shows their
faith in the remedy.
