There is more Catarrh in this section of tn e
country than all other diseases put together
anduntil the last few years it was supposed to
be 1ncurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh TO be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taten internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful- 1t acts

WHEN QUEEN BEsS LIVED.
1t La Three Centuries Since Elizabeth
Reigned in England.

1t La Three Centuries Since Elizabeth
Reigned in England.
Someone who keeps track of h1stori-
cal dates communicates to the public
the fact that on the oath of March of
next year the three hundredth anniver-
sary Of the death Of Queen Elizabeth
will be reached. It is not proposed to
slgnalize the event in any public way,
but at the same time there is no rea-
son why we should refrain from in
oulg1ng In backward glance at the ca
reer Of this lamented royal lady.
There is no exaggeration in the state
ment that Queen Elizabeth was the
grand old maid Of all history. Just
why she failed to marry isn't clear.
1t certainly couldn't be ascribed to
the fact that he wasn't asked. Queens
never wait to be asked But she was
red-haired and proud as Lucifer. Her
nose was up in the air as high as
starched ruff could put it. And there
Is no doubt that she aided this naughty
pose by wearing her crown on the back
OF her head-in order to tilt her
freckled nasal organ still higher.
Why, she couldn't have seen the
mud that sappy Walter Raleigh saved
her from by making a gutter rug Of
his best cloak. He might just as we'll
have used a mule blanket. Neverthe-
less, she was pretty fair example Of
a queen, as queens went in those days
even If she did separate poor Mary
Queen Of Scots from her royal head.
1t was just Bessie's way Of heading off
a plot against her royal person. In
addition to this she was the founder
of the so-called EliZabethan period in
literature, an age made more or less
famous by rural dramatist of alleg-
ed distinction called Shakespeare, as
well as by a certain Lord Bacon,
whose name seems to have suggested
the theory that he had some connec-
ton with Hamlet" which, being rude
ly rendered into English, is small
ham"
It certainly doesn't seem 800 years
since Elizabeth stepped down from her
throne and out. But then, we are all
too busy to take much heed Of the pas
sage Of time. Anyway, she is as dead
as she ever will be and nobody would
really want to cali her back.
