There is much talk of political
hossism in Pennsylvania, and of the
grip which Col. Quay holds upon the
party.
This topic is the subject of frequent
denunciations from the Democratic

Gently went through the form of a
convention and among the points on
which it assailed the Republican par

Now mark the appropriateness of
this wrath! Accusing the Republi-
cans of submitting to bOssism the

without kick or protest, the program

them in his hand, will join combi-

CHAPTER VI.
An Encounter in the Forest.

At the hour when Calthorpe, on
board the sloop that was taking him
back to the English fleet, discerned the
first gray light OF dawn, Lieut.. Carolus
Nertrez. clad In his long military cape.
rode past the sentinel at the northern
outpost OF the rock guarded fortress,
aind along the narrow embankment that
led across the ancient mole.
Although he was leaving love behind
him. the lieutenant carried a light heart
under his cloak He was young, and
youth can cherish dreams of ambition
as well as dreams OF love.
He was proceeding on an important
mission. the first that had been in
trusted to him. and with the favor of
the commandment he already saw him
self a captain.
More TO his liking than all else, he
was journeying toward the capital.
Even a glimpse Of the gayeties that
surrounded the palace promised an
agreeable change from the dull mo-
notony OF life in the rock grit, south
ern fortress.
With a thought for each OF these
things. the lieutenant rode on his way.
Every now and then snatches OF love
song rose to his lips and in those places
where the road was too rough or the
ascent too steep TO permit his horse
TO keep 10 its gallop. he let stray lines
of the song escape him IN a voice that
was clear and strong.
The frequent recurrence of the name
Anita I'm the song led him to think of
the girl from whom he had parted the
night before on the Rock. His mind
went back 20 their first meeting, when
he had come across her standing on a
lofty ledge and looking out 20 sea like
some radiant celestial bird poised for
flight.

THE season of catching cold Is upon
us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin Of chronic catarrh, the
most common and dreadful Of diseases, is
cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen.
orally begins A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness Of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has q
cold all the while seemingly, more or less
discharge from the nose, hawking, spit
ting, frequent clearing of the throat, nos
trils stopped up, full feeling in the head
and sore, inhamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh Is ut the
very beginning. A bottle Of Peruna prop
erly used never fails to cure q common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured Of
chronic catarrh by single bottle Of
Peruna, yet, as q rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one
bottle Is necessary to complete cure.
Peruna has cured cases innumerable
Of catarrh Of twenty years standing.
It is the best, II not tho only internal
remedy for chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom Of cold or sore throat at
this season Of the year and thus prevent
what is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in Watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cincinnati
recently found in that city secreted in a
bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding "a lump of
lead OF nearly one-half the weight Of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the CEN
ter of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead is Sc
creted until the springs of the case are
taken cut and the lead will be found Sc
GREETED behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. 1t is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he has
lugged lump of lead in his watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
~. S. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out of gold
and silver except coin, and the falzir, by
using this stamp, wants to make the public
believe that the government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the f1neness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir is to
advertise a watch described as n solid gold
filed watch with twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gen.
orally sent G. O. d., and if the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds that the
Company which guaranteed the watch to
wear is not in existence
The Dueber-H Hampden Watch Company
pf Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish tho
names of the manufacturers who are In
this questionable business.
