Our ShiDDing.

The newspapers of the country are
sounding an alarm over the recent
agreement of the Cunard and Morgan
companies binding the Atlantic fleet
more tightly than ever to the British
government.
For two years no new keel has been
laid in this country for the interocean n
business. All but s or 0 per cent of
orr ocean carrying trade is monopoliz-
I'd by foreigners. We are continually
losing our merchant navy.
An influential committee of the now
board of trade and transportation has
5Gs,n appointed, composed of merchants
not shipbuilders or shipowncrs, to
urge upon the country the imperative
need of the revival of American ship
ping in the foreign trade. The com
inittee will undertake something more
probably, than mere agitation Tall;
and discussion will not induce ship
builders to go to work on vessels foi
foreign commerce. Legislation may as
sist the project. The exporting inter
csts themselves may possibly be inter
ested to enter into competition with the
foreign vessels that are now handling
their business. Something surely ought
10 be done to prevent this importan,
business from disappearing altogether

OF late years the Democratic party
has never failed to tackle the wrong
end of every public proposition. The
determination of the senate steering
committee to combat the negotiation
of canal treaty with Panama is a
case so clearly in point as to need no
argument Public sentiment is prac-
tically unanimous in favor of the propo-
sition. and nearly every Democratic
paper in the country has gone on rec
ord in the same manner. The editorial

Kings Little Joke.

Here Is one of the many stories
which show that there Is not mon
arch in Europe who is as playful OF as
fond of joke as old King Christian of
Denmark
He was recently strolling through
the park near the royal castle Of Bern
storf when his attention was attracted
toward a child who was making des-
perate efforts to reach the bell near
the principal gate, his intention evil
IDENTIFY being to ring it and then run
away and enjoy from a safe distance
the discontinue of the gatekeeper.
For a few moments the King watched
him. and then, with smile on his
face, went up to him and said:
Let me do it, my boy, and promise
you we'll scare the old fellow"
With these words he pulled the bell
half q dozen times, and in another
minute had run across the grass and
hidden himself behind tree. Hardly
had he concealed himself before the
gatekeeper appeared, and the express
sion of surprise on the old mans face
was so strong that the King could
hardly refrain from bursting out into
loud laughter.

YOUR MONEY RETURNED
IF Hyomei Does Not Cure You Of 0atarrh
Saws FaldmaVAr Rrns.

In advertising that they will refund
the money to any one purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that it has
done them no good in the treatment
of catarrh, Feldmeyer Brothers mean
exactly what this guarantee says.
OF course, the percentage of cures
by Hyomei is nearly one hundred, or
else they could not afford to
make this unusual offer. But If
the treatment should not be adapted
to your case there will be no ques-
tions or quibblings when you go to
get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh Is
due to the presence of germs in the
air passages is now admitted by every
physician. It stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hy-
omei treatment kills the catarrh
germs even in the minutest air cells,
soothes and heals the irritated mu-
cous membrane, and makes complete
and lasting cures in cases that have
resisted the usual methods of treat
ment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural meth
cd, and it has made cures that seem
miraculous. An outfit costs but $1.00,
and consists of an inhaler which will
last a lifetime and sufficient Hyomei
for more than a months treatment.
Additional bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for soc.
Feldmeyer Brothers give their per-
sonal guarantee with every Hyomei
outfit they sell to refund the money
If it does not cure.
