La Grippe Is Epidemic catarrh.


 La grippe Is acute catarrh excited by peculiar climatic conditions. 1t sweeps across continent in a single week, like the blizzard of winter or the hot wave of summer. It does not depopulate whole villages like the black plague. nor deso- late a home like malignant diphtherla, but it counts it's single victims here ana there ineessantly night and day, week after week.
 Since 1850 pr. Hartman Has passed through four or five epi- denies of Ia grippe. During all this time he has conducted an extensive practice of medicine. Few eff any) physicians prescribe for so many patients. His ex- perience In climatic diseases has been simply prodgious
 Thousands of patients are continually under his directions, either personally or by correspondence, The doctors fame in treating Ia grippe Is known from the Att lantic to the Pacific.
 Tho doctor believes that he has never yet lost a case of la grippe. and Is en- thusastie in the conviction that he never will.

n. Clay King Dead.

Fl. Clay King, the most noted
prisoner confined within the walls Of
the Tennessee penitentiary, died last
week, after long period of suffering
from cancer of the stomach. He
was at one time one of the most
prominent members of the bar of
the State, and was the author of sew
eral legal works of merit, among
them "King's Digest of the Laws of
Tennessee" book much priced by
the members of the profession
throughout the State, quotations
from which were used in the prose-
cution against him during the trial
which resulted in his conviction. He
received a death sentence in 1891
for killing on the streets of Memphis
D. II. Poston, also prominent law
yer. His sentence was commuted to
Imprisonment for life, and since
that time many efforts have been
made to secure his pardon, all of
which proved unavailing, and fate
decreed that only death should bring
release.

A PIPE CASE.

city, and pipe-case, if he smokes, and
ten to one he does, may be just the
thing. The one shown in the accompany
ing cut is of pleasing appearance and
easy construction, a most desirable
combination for the weary Christmas
worker. The case is made of brown
denim, with the design worked in gold,
and is quite artistic. The straps, which
should be firm and strong, may be fas-
tened with gilt tacks. One should be
very particular to have the straps tight
enough and strong enough, for if they
were inadequate and should cause the
destruction Of beloved meerschaum,
there should be little gratitude felt to-
ward the giver of the case.
A present of this kind is not only good
for the head of the family, but is quite ap-
propriate for a young lady to give an
admirer. To him it will represent more
of her own sweet self than many little
present she could buy at the store, and he
would appreciate it because she had
made. it. AT least il he did not, he is
unworthy the maker.
