attention was attracted by a peculiar
series of raps Of the floor of an ada

alarm arising, from the fact that her
little baby was lying in a cradle in
the room from which the noise came,
she walked hurriedly to the door.
A great savage beast, which she In
stantly recognized as the monarch Of
the Packsaddle mountains, stood with
his fore feet on the foot ofHthe cradle

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature to do its work. The proprietors
have SO much faith in it's curative
powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

HER FIRST 500.
What the Delightful Creature Did
With 1t After Much Advice


How she acquired it it does not really
matter-possibly by teaching school
painting fire screens or washing ANY
way when She found herself in posses
sion of the sum she set about to see
what she could do with it,
Certain amiable friends told her it
would be very nice to buy some new
dresses, hats, gloves, shoes and SUCH
But she had full assortment and
didn't require anything of the sort. An
aunt told her to invest it in a certain
telegraph stock that would bring in
good interest
But l want my hundred dollars all
to myself you know"
Poor, foolish dear, it will all be
yours, just the same. You can use the
interest just the same. l know where
you can draw-why, per cent"
What? That is only So a year!
Six dollars is awfully small by the
side of this. I'm going to count it
again. Maybe some of it is gone"
The very thought of such thing made
the little creature chatter. For the
tenth time that day she sat down and
counted the taliSmanic roll Of bills
four twenties, one ten and two fives.
1t was all right, and her pulse re
sumed its normal beat. Suddenly she
gave a little shrek of delight and
jumped up and cried:
Il know just what l shall do! I'll
get it-busted. think that's what they
calr'--
Child, what are you talking about?"
Talking about finance, auntie I'm
going to make this stingy little roll into
a big one. 1t doesn't show off at all.'
"You are queer dear"
"Im going to get it all in five dollar
bills. l think the pictures on the fives
are ever so much prettier." Life seemed
more rosy after the delightful creature
possessed twenty nice, crisp flyers. She
counted and recOunted them when an
other fancy came.
I'm tired looking at these common
bills. They don't jingle and ring. I'm
going to get five nice, clean, new TWEEN
ty dollar goldpieces." No sooner was
it said than done. The table rang for
two days as she tossed the bright yell
low pieces about like jack stones. Even
then she wasn't quite happy. The lit
tie pile of twenty dollar yellow boys
looked SO small. Then she secuted
about and got together 100 silver dol
lars. She polished every one daily and
played with them. Next she got 200
fifty cent pieces But life was still an
aching void. She at last owned 500
In twenty-five cent coins. Surely she
must be satisfied now. But, no; she
broke into one of the quarters, felt dis
couraged after that and was quite I'M
like her old self until she found one
little nickel left, the very last coin of
the hundred dollars that had caused
her so much trouble. - Philadelphia

Tendency of the Times,

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one
OF the most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al
ways res u'ts from cold or from an at
tack of influenza (gIipJ and it has been
observed that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases towards
pneumonia. This has been fully proven
in many thousands of caaes in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and giip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
pIicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from a slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest,
then it is announced that the patient
has pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
as soon as the cold Is contracted. 1t al
ways cures. For sale by all druggists.

Snakes,

There exists among many persons
belief that snakes are creatures of
more or less defective organization.
Deprived of legs and reduced to effect
their movements by sinuous windings
Of their elongated bodies and tails, they
have an appearance of helplessness
which may by itself excite compassion.
Yet no mistake Of the kind could well
be greater. The principles of eyolu-
ton suffice to make it evident that the
structure Of serpents must be tolerably
good or else. they could never have sur
vived natures many destructive
agencies. But, in fact, their structure
Is marvel of admirable contrivances
and accurate adjustments, so that we

adapted to their requirements and pc
culiar modes of life as any other ami
mals.-Quarterly Review.

PLENTY OF ICE VISIBLE HERE
Gold Enough, Though Conditions
Help Fruit Prospect.

Americus felt yesterday morning the
effect of the blizzard now sweeping
the West, though but family. The
day was fair and bracing, with just
enough ice to chill the temperature to
a healthful degree. In fact, a little
cold weather is necessary now to in.
sure the safety of the peach crop. The
past ten days of warm, rainy weather
was calculated to make the sap rise
and the buds burst out, only to be
killed later. The peach crop in Geor-
gia is too great an item to be lost, and
hundreds will watch conditions anx-
iously until its safety is assured.
