1 friend was:
"The death Of ex-speaker Reed will re-

Then he explained what he meant. He

the double of Speaker Reed. He has his
peculiar drawl even.
1.-THE sleeping car porters all insist that
[ am Mr.. Reed" he said. "One night when
I registered my name in a Buffalo hotel,
the clerk said he supposed 1t was all
right, and that 1 didn't want the reporters
to know who / was. ] said Ii was all
right and went to my room.
I'm less than ali hour a half dozen re-
porters had called and wanted to inter-
view me. Each one of them wanted to
know why / was travelling under another
name. I had to sit up half the night with
those chaps to convince them that / was
not Mr.. Reed.
"One day 1 had some business in Grand
Rapids. l hadn't been in the town an
hour when / was waited upon by seSeral
lawyers who wanted me to make an ad-
dress. / had to show that committed my
shirts and collars and private correspon-
dence to convince them that / was not Mr.
Reed, and then one of them said 1t was
all right II / didn't want to acknowledge
who l was.
"On another occasion when I was in

story l wish, but this was an actual case
However, 1t was not as good as the one

Six months ago when I was In New
York l concluded to pay my respects t
Mr.. Reed in his office at 10 Wall street

he would say If he saw me. The young
man In charge Of the office addressed m,

FIRST STAGES or CATARRt
A Serious Mistake Which Thou,
sands Are Making.

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold" 1t
may be In the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning Is sometimes so severe as to
cause a chill aud considerable fever, or it
may be so slight as to not hinder a per-
son from his usual business. In perhaps
a majority Of cases little or no attention
Is paid to the first stage Of catarrh, and
hence it is that nearly one-half of the peo-
pie have chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. As soon as any one discovers
the first symptoms of catching cold he

VlVlSECTlON
Without Proper Use Of Anaesthetics II
Is Hideousiy Cruel.

New York, Jan. 13.-President John
p. Haines was outspoken against the
unrestricted practice of vivisection in
his address at the thirty-seventh an
nual meeting of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals at the
society's rooms on Madison avenue. He
urged that the bill introduced in the
United States enate for the reasonable
regulation of vivisection should receive
the unqualified support of the society.
Il believe that a asst majority of our
members hold, as do, mat vivisection
is essentially immoral said the presi-
dent, and further that it is h~ideously
cruel when experiments with living
animals are performed without the use
of effectual anaesthetics."
