she entreated. while the cat put on a
solemn look and purred as hard as she
could.
Mr.. Bowser gave her a look of min
gled pity and contempt and picked up
his package and went downstairs, fol
lowed at a respectful distance by the
cat. Mrs. Bowser heard him poking
around for a quarter of an hour, and
then he passed on down cellar to fix the
furnace.
He had returned to the kitchen and
put in another ten minutes when she
was jumped to her feet by a wild yeh
of "Policer' That was followed by d
cry of Fire" and that again by a

ly weakened, and she could hardly
make her way downstairs, but when
she opened the kitchen door it was to
witness a spectacle that appalled, her.
That eyterminator had brought a
hundred or more rats into the house.
They were not only crying for it, but
fighting over it and enjoying the taste
and asking for more. They had come
with a rush, and Bowser had been
driven 10 mount a chair. and the cat
had leaped upon b kitchen table, and
both were prisoners. Mrs. Bowser
grabbed the broom and laid about her
with pluck and vigor. Temporarily dis
mayed, the rats permitted Bowser and
the cat to escape and close the door
behind them. Then they issued forth
again in increased numbers in search

EASY WAY TO CURE CATARRH
Breathe HyOmei and Kill all Catarrh-
al Germs. Money Back if 1t Fails
Say II. II. Bethany.

. There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when using Hyomei. The
healing and aromatic balsams which
compose this wonderful treatment are
breathed through a neat pocket inhal-
er that comes with every 81 outfit.
In this way, the germ-killing and
health-giving Hyomei pe%netrates to
the most remote cells of the lungs. 1t
searches and kills disease germs in
the air passages of the head, throat
and nose. soothes and heals the irritat-
ed mucous membrane, and absolutely
drives catarrh from the system.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use Of Hyomei by the best
people in Wilmington, hat R. r. Bel
lamy has the greatest confidence in it's
power to cure catarrh, ne believes in it
so thoroughly. that he will give his
personal guarantee to refund the mon
ey if It does not cure. the purchaser
to be sole judge.
This is an unusual offer and the
first time that any medicine or treat
ment for the cure of catarrh has been
sold in this way. If 1t cures, the ex-
pense is trihing, while il it fails, the
cost is absolutely nothing.
If you are fortunate enough not to
be troubled with catarrh. tell your
friends of r. r. Bellamy's offer and get
them to take advantage OF 1t.

I was going to tell you all about it, but
now you won't get a word-not a
word"
The cat had made arrangements to
meet a neighbours feline in the back
yard at Z o'clock and scrap for the
championship Of the state, but seeing
that a family row was more than prob
able she decided to cancel her engage
ment and remain inside. MI. Bowser
got up and walked back and forth a
few times and flushed from red to
white and back again, but presently
his anger disappeared and he sat down
and picked up his pamphlet and asked:
"Mrs. Bowser, have you any idea OF
the number Of rats running loose in
America at this present moment?'
"Good gracious, nor she replied.
81 thought not, and 1 am prepared
to astonish you. The number, as esti-
mated by good authority, is slightly
over 100, 900, OOO-1OO,OO 0, 1000, Mrs.
Bowser. If they were strung out in
single file, head to tail, they would
reach clear around the world"
"T thought there might be ten or if
teen,' she unused, "but as for a hun
dred million
"That is for all America, Mrs. Bow
ser. The number in the United States
is exactly 73,S24,326, or was at 10
o'clock this morning, when the last .es-
innate was made. The number for
our own state is a few over 100000,
and for this city and county 100000.
Do you know the value of what q full
grown rat consumes in a day."
"How should Il"
Eyes, how should you n any other
woman take any interest in such things
when there are novels to be had at 10
cents apiece and all the stores are adj
vertising spring bargains? You have
never given it a passing thought, Of
course, and you won't remember it ff-
teen minutes, but let me tell you that
the cash value of what every rat eats
and destroys every twenty-four hours
is exactly g cents. To say nothing of
what 100000 rats are costing the
country every day, the cost to this
city alone is far in excess of 10000
per week, or about 100000 q year"
"Dear me, but who would have be-
1ieved it,"
"A million a year wasted in n city
alone, besides the annoyance n is
put to by having rats around the
house. Suppose this million could be
saved, Mrs. Bowser-suppose a hun-
dred million per year could be saved.
Would there be any widows wailing
for bread or orphans shivering with
the cold? Would the man who could
bring about this saving be spoken Of
as greater than Washington. Or re-

volunteered no information until the
