PERILS OF LAND AND SEA

Captain Willnefs Remarkable Escape
Shows What to do in Time of Trouble.
For many years, Captain Willnef,
says the Times of Gloucester, Mass,
was one of the best known seamen
in the Gloucester Fleet. The sea
and its dangers had no terror for
him but the catarrhal troubles
with which he suffered for fifteen
years made him dread the nights at
sea, for he had to walk the cabin
floor, being unable to lie down and
sleep on account of the constant
catarrhal dropping.
Captain Willnef went to two diff
ferent hospitals for treatment, but
could get no lasting benefit. He
constantly raised yellow and green
phlegm and his trouble b ecame SO
unbearable and nauseating that he
was ashamed to go out in co mpany.
When despairing of ever getting
relief, his wife purchased Hyomei
outfit for him, and trying it before
going to bed, he enjoyed the first
whole nights sleep for ten years.
Captain Willnef says IT have used
less than two bottles of Hyomei and
have been cured by the remedy.
My friends ask me what is re-
sponsible for my Improvement, and
I tell them Hyomei, which has
given me full and complete re-
covery."
Captain Willnef's experience
shows our readers what to do in
time of catarrhal trouble, use
Hyomei. This remarkable treat
ment kills the germs of catarrh and
makes lasting and permanent cures.
J. T. Bennett sells Hyomei under
their personally guarantee to- re-
fund the money if it does rot give
quick relief.

HAAss BROUGHT TO CHICAGO
Man Accused of Stealing q Big Sum from
Bank Locked Up After Long and
Costly Chase.

Chicago Oct. 14.-Herman Haas,
former employe of the Corn Exchange
National bank, whose defalcations are
said to amount to about 100000, was
brought back to Chicago yesterday by
private detectives in the employment
of the City Trust and Surety company,
Of Philadelphia.
Haas, who has been arrested twice
in foreign countries, but one escaped
from custody on legal technicality,
was arrested the last time two weeks
ago in Panama City, Panama. Even
when arrested there, it was feared that
the man would again evade the officers,
as the United States has no treaty re-
garding the return of prisoners from
Panama. When arrested Haas, who
was being supplied with money by
friends in Chicago, it is said, was pass
ing as tourist. He represented him.
self to be a wealthy American business
man who was travelling 'for his
health"

HOW WILL 1T TERMINATE.

So confused is the political situa-
ton that even the wisest forecasters
are unable to tell what will be the
composition of the next legislature.
1t is believed that there will be a
strong bunch of stalwarts, half
breeds and Democrats in both
branches, with the possible result
that no successor will be chosen to
Senator Quarles. An election must
be effected, if at all before March
4, and there might easily be a dead
lock during the six weeks before
that time. Senator Quarles is an
admirable representative of the
state and it's people but he is too
independent for the LaFollette
leaders and they have their knives
out for him.
1t is believed that the governor
has passionate hopes of attaining
the honor for himself; but, while
some Democrats can be induced to
to vote at the polls for him, it is
inconceivable that Democrats in
the legislature could be cajoled or
in any way induced to vote for any
except a Democrat. The party at
large will demand at least COM
plimentary vote be extended to
Villas, Ryan or some Democrat of
note. It would make a pretty cam
paign issue for some honest LaFol-
lette admirer to put the question up
to Gov. La Toilette by letter as to
whether, If reelected governor, he
intends to continue in that posi-
ton, or whether as soon as he is for
a third time chosen governor, he

It has been very truly said that
the person who has never tried the
companionship Of a little child, has
carelessly passed away one Of the
greatest pleasures of life, as one
passes a rare flower without pluck
ing it or: knowing it's value. The
gleeful laugh of happy children is
the bestshome music and the grace
full figures of chill dhood are the best

great Improvement over the old arrange
ment Where clothing is placed in deep
drawers there must be more or less of a
mixture. while 1t requires a great deal
of labor to keep well-arranged shelving
which is not subdivided Shallow drawers
are altogether better than deep ones and
infinitely better than a lot of closet hooks.
Certain of these drawers should be long
enough to receive skirt without folding.
while others may be shorter to contain
smaller articles. With closets of this kind
very little shelving and very few hooks are
needed. closet should be arranged as
thoughtfully and carefully a modern
