Hyomei VIII cure tne worst case
Of catarrh In Ardmore-
When one Of the most reputable
concerns in Ardmore guarantees that
a medicine will effect a cure OF they
win refund the money, II speaks vol
umes as To the merits of that reme-
dy. 1t is in this way that the City
Drug Store is selling Hyomei. the
treatment that has made so many re-
markable cures of both acute and
chronic cases Of .catarrh in Ardmure
and vicinity.
Hyomei is not a pill. nor is Il a
liquid that has to be taken with a ia
blespoon or wlneglass. Just breathe
it by the aid OF an inhaler that comes
in every outfit. and benefit will be
seen from the FIRST treatment
II destroys all germ life In the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifes the blood with additional
ozone. II cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or OF the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous mem
branes contain catarrhal germs. there
Hyomei will do its work of healing.
When using this treatment, the air
you breathe will be found like that
on a mountain high above the sea
level, where grow balsamic trels
and plants which make the air pure
by giving of volatile antiseptic fra
grance that is healing to the respira-
tory organs.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you, the City Drug Store will
refund your money. This is a good
time to cure catarrh by this natural
method and prevent catarrhal colds
that are so common at this season.

EXAMPLES OF RUSSIAN RULE.
How Cars Officers Dealt With Un-
fortunate Chinese.

An English writer tells some extra
ordinary stories of Russian rule in the
far east. 1T is not necessary" he
says, 'to repeat here the tale of the
horrors of BlakaveshcheEsk, but a
personal friend of mine is witness
to their reality. On his way to that
city while two days journey down the
river he saw floating on the water the
corpse of Chnaman. Then he
passed another and another; then two
together tied by their pigtails; then
more until as he drew near the city
the drowned bodies lay so thickly to-
gether that the whole broad sweep
of the river was one dark mass of
floating dead Tied together by their

as they entered it was deserted.
Signs OF life, recent life, were there
in plenty, loaves of bread in the ovens,
pigs in the yards fires in the houses,
but no people, not sign of man, WOm-

ness, to buy pigs bristles, and in or
der to buy it was necessary to find
some one to sell, but no one was
there. The first day they wondered.
the second they consulted and then
the comprador said he had a plan.
Would the master stay long way
outside the next village quite hidden
and let him go on alone? The master
could and did. The explanation was
simple but sufficient. The Russians
had occupied Manchura for year
and the Chinese were acquainted with
their rule. Seeing a white man com
ing toward the village they naturally
mistook him for Russian and fled,
man, woman and child. leaving all
their earthly possessions behind them,
hoping perhaps that he would be con,

He Made Amends

When Ned Dalton married Una Per
kins the village gossips reaped har-
vest.
Every one had something to say
except the man whose heart was
smarting under the wrong dealt him
by the friend and schoolmate of his
bOyhood and the woman he had loved
ever since she was wee lass.
When some of his friends came to
him to offer sympathy. Tom Reed met
them with an impenetrable reserve.
He turned with renewed fervOr to his
work upon wonderful invention,
which he never ceased to believe
would one day make his fortune.
Una and Ned went to housekeeping
in coZy little cottage on the edge of
the village, and for time it seemed
as if the dark prognostiCations would
prove false.
Then Ned got into bad company and
neglected his wife and home. After
the baby came it was worse. Una
expostuated. entreated. rebelled.
They quarreled bitterly and one
dark. dismal November night Ned
took the midnight train to Greenfield
and the next morning was speeding
away on the Northern Pacific express
to Seattle. the gold fever in his veins
and the KlOndike a dazzling vision be-
fore his eyes. He left a letter for
Una:
I've gone TO make my fortune in
b, I
marry Tom. He always loved you,
and it will be some amends for the
wrong we both did him.
NED"
Una read the note with binding
tears, and fancied her heart was bro
ken. But as the months passed and
grew into years, and no word came
thought of most.
For the first year after her husband
left she watched every mail hoping
that it would bring her some message.
Now five years had gone, and she had
given up all hope.
One day as she came home from
work, her mother met her at the
door. Una, we have heard at last"
she said. as she put western paper
in her daughters hands. and pointed
to small notice marked in blue pen

thought. But he did not.
One day she learned that he was ill.,
in dire poverty in neighboring city.
She went to the address that had been
given her, and stumbled up the dark
ill-smeling stairs to the wretched hall
bedroom that he occupied. Knocking
timidly at the door, she received no
