TEN VOLUMES.
By President Theodore Roosevelt.

We have been advising our book buyers
In these words: The last of these Roosevelt
books will socn be sold Then Roosevelt books
cannot be bought for less than So or So vol
ume." We were warranted in making this
statement by rumors in publishing circles.
Now comes the news that Philadelphia pub.
fishing firm has arranged with the President
to publish his books in the future, and that no
single volume will be sold for less than $40
and some of the volumes will be sold for even
higher prices.
While the new edition at high prices will
have new covers and be very fine, no doubt.
the contents Of the books will be the same al
our edition, and FOR READING our volumes
at so cents each will give just as much pleasure
as the $40 volumes.
The point Of interest is that these 50.cent
volumes will be worth great deal more verv
soon. We are very glad to supply our friends
with books that are sure to advance in value.

Justice Of the Peace George f. Sey-
mour sat in his Hoboken office when a
young couple entered carrying with
them the usual and unmistakable evil
dence of desire to be made one. The
justice asked the young mans name.
Richard Mansfield" was the reply,
and his honor stared for n moment
as he reflected that the noted actor
must be much older than this would
be bridegroom. Then he asked the
girls name. ''Maude Adams" she
timidly responded. The justice near
~ fell out of his chair. but recovered
when informed that the pair lived in a
suburb of Hoboken. Then he tied the
knot pocketed his fee and kissed the
bride

Patti is coming over to get a few
thousands more for her handsome
young husband. Not having much
voice left she tells us through her adj
vance eulOgists that we must pay to
observe her method" Well, we are
not sure about the method. Patti
sang at 10 years old in a style as good
as that of her prime. 1t really seems
that there is nothing to observe. She
was born with clear voice and she
took care of it. Anybody can get the
method who can manage to be born
with the voice.

England might have had little re-
gard for the United States when she
got into the Venezuela matter. She
might at least have asked some neigh
borly question. 1t sometimes seems
that England is friendly only when
there are good reasons for it. as far
as England is concerned. This is to
be regretted for whatever weakens
the friendship of England in the conf
dence of the people hurts the cause
of Anglo-Saxon civilization, if there
really is such thing. which we begin
to doubt.

CATARRH REMEDY
Just Breathe HyOmeI Four Times a Day
and Be Cured.

If few years ago some one had
said you can cure catarrh by breath
ing air charged with healing balm,
the idea would have been ridiculed
and it remained for Il. T. Booth. that
eminent investigator, to- discover in
Hyomei this method of cure.
HyOmei has performed the most mi
raculOus cures of catarrh and is to-
day recognized by leading members of
the medical profession as the only
advertised remedy that can be re-
lied upon to do just what it claims
The complete outfit of Hyomei costs
but 81 90 and consists of an inhaler, a
medicine drOpper and bottle of Hyo-
mel
Breathe Hyomei through the inhal-
er for a few minutes four times a day
and it will cure the worst case of cat
arrh. 1t sooths and heals the mu-
cous membrane of the air passages,
pIete and lasting cure.
The treasurer of the American Life
Insurance company, j. S. Nugent, of
New York, writes: 'Hyomei has com
pletely cured my daughter of cat
arrh from which she has been a suf-
ferer for years"
In Rock Island there are scores of
well known people who say they have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomei If
it does not cure you, L. II. Thomas
will return the money you paid for
Hyomei. This is the strongest evil
dence that can be offered as to their
faith IN the remedy.
