Like Silly Sheep"

1t takes rancher to appreciate
that expression Like silly Sheep" :"
declared a Western cattleman at the
Grand Union Hotel thS other evening.
II had several thousand sheep on m.
ranch at one time, but was cured OF
'aising them by their own eternal
iumbness. One time We were driving
a flock to market, when one of the
leaders leaped into the air, and after
the habit of sheep, every one made a
similar leap when it came to that
spot. This is such a common trick
with sheep that we thought nothing of
1t, until we noticed that the sheep dis
appeared after leaping. BY quick
work we stopped the performance, and
found that the trail had been broken
by a cave-in, ant! the sheep when they
came to the brink simply leaped fran
tically and went down into hole thir-
ty feet deep. Before we could get
them out nineteen we're smnthered to
death. New Ork Press.

klnu Edward Their Guardian.

It is not generally known that kins
Edward, since his accession TO the
throne, has become the guardian OF
the children of the Prince cad Prin.
cess of Wales, and of his other grand.
children. over whom he has complete
control, the rights of their parents
being superseded. This was decided
70 Se law nearly 200 years ago, by \
majority of ten to two judges. The
sight was frequently used by the
Georges, who had habit of quarrel
ing with their sons. Before members
of the royal family can marry they
will have to obtain King Edwards =
consent or the marriage is void.
George III. managed to sectne thia
power by means of the royal marriage
act, in consequence of his brothers
marrying subjects. to his great suuoy.

ANEW METHOD IN MUSIC.
Anyone Can Learn to Play the Piano
by Following Series Of Object Lessons
IN The fittsburg Sunday Dispatch.

BY the introduction OF an entirely
new method in the destruction of
music, The Pittsburg Sunday Dis
patch is giving its readers piano les
sons free each week. The idea is so
simple that anyone can learn To play
the piano. The method involved is
that OF kindergarten wOrk-the OBJ
ject lesson-and while this simplifies
the art OF music so that even children
can understand it thoroughly, yet
the system is worked out in such
correct and scientific manner that the
most learned and experienced musi-
clans ana teachers who have examined
this new system have endorsed it.
Even that eminent pianist. Joseph
Hoffman,, recommends it to those
who desire to get fundamental
knowledge OF music and theory. The
course will be twelve lessons, and
there is no expense attached to the
study but subscription to The Sun
day Dispatch for IL weeks. Order
at once. so that none of the lessons
will be missed

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
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 taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,
