An Unfortunate Remark,


If a certain prominent physician ever
writes his autobiography the follow
ing incident will undoubtedly be omit
ted:
Not long ago the physician in Ques-
ton was called to boarding house to
attend man very Ill with pneumonia.
The man died. The keeper Of the
boarding house, a woman, was very
much distressed, the man having been
the first boarder to die under her roof.
"Its SO unfortunate that he should
have died." said she with self interest
ed sympathy. II do hate to have q
funeral here"
1T won't be necessary" said the doc
tor consolingly. 1.-The funeral can be
at the undertaker's."
"But l don't even know an under
taker," said the unnerved woman.
81 do" said the doctor. "Just around
the corner is a good one. to whom I
send all my patients"
"AllY gasped the landlady. and the
doctor wondered why she turned pale.

COSTS NOTHING UNLESS CURED
A Fair Offer Made by John E. DAILY to a
Sufferers from Catarrh.


John e. DAILY is selling Hyomei on
plan that has caused considerable
talk amongst his customers.
The plan is different from that
followed by other remedies. but the
remedy itself is different also This
treatment for the cure of catarrh has
such an unsual record of cures to it's
credit that John e. DAILY offers to
refund the money If it does not give
the desired benefit. This is certainly
one OF the fairest offers that can be
made and any one who has catarrh
and does not take advantage of it is
doing himself or herself an Injustice.
Do not suffer any longer with tickl-
ing, smarting, burning, eye-watering
troubles that af11lct those who have
catarrh. Hyomei will cure you, but
il you should not find it adapted to
your case, John e. DAILY will return
your money.

two Greek and two English Tesla

sign to cut out the morsels of morality
and paste them on the leaves of a
book On April 19, 1903, he wrote
to Edward Dowse that he considered
''the moral precepts of Jesus more
pure, correct and sublime than those
of the ancient philosophers"
On April 81, 1903, he wrote to DIR.
Benjamin Rush an estimate of the
merits of the doctrines of Jesus. 1t
was intended for DR.. Rush's private
consideration and was accompanied
by a few lines in which the writer
said: in coniding it to you know

nant perversions of those who make

Labor at Panama

Recent figures from the census bu>
reau say that there are now more than
nine millions of people of the colored
race in the United States. Gen. Peter
G. Hams, who has had extensive ex-
perience in public works on a large
scale and has been a member of the
Nicaragua canal commission and later
of the Isthmian canal commission. is
earnestly in favor of the employment
of thousands of the black men of the
Southern states in digging the water
way at Panama.
He believes they can endure the eli
mate and will be exceedingly useful
in that enterprise, and he holds that
more of the money paid for toll on that
channel between the Atlantic and the
Pacific will come back to the advan-
tage of this country in one way and
another if they are employed than if
gangs of coolies or West Indian labor
ers were sent to the isthmus His

ton of his to select from the Scrip
lures the sayings of the Savior. and
to put them together in a comprehen-
sive and systematic form. He consid-
cred that the Gospels contained much
extraneous matter, but that by careful
pruning there could be selected say
ings which were absolutely the words
of Jesus himself. This idea finally
took shape in what came to be known
as Jefferson's Bible-a work which he
had bound handsomely in red leather,
with the title Morals of Jesus"
printed in gold letters on the back
The work was begun at the White
House when Jefferson was president,
but at that time he did not carry it
very far Having discussed with the
famous DIR. Priestley the teachings of
Jesus as compared with those of
Socrates, he wrote to him, saying:
You are the person who, of all
others, would do it best and most
promptly. You have all the materials
at hand" This referred to a sugges-
ton which he had made to the effect
that Priestley could take up the task
which he had commenced
1t was not until the winter of 1876
IL that Jefferson himself finally car
ried out the design at Monticello. By
this time he had abandoned his
original idea which was to make a
book of the life and teachings of the
Savior for the use of the Indians, who
would be likely to understand it more
easily than the Bible on account of
its greater simplicity, and had decided
to compose the volume for his own
private entertainment and instruction
He used four languages in order that
he might have the texts side by side,
convenient for comparison. The maps
were for incidental study, showing
the places which the Savior visited.

Fatal Music.

Richard Mansfield is a stickler for
every little point in the presentation
of his plays, but now and then the
unexpected happens in such a way as
to provoke a smile from one who is
not considered the most humorous of
actors. In the final scene of "a Peri
sian Romance" Mansfield, as Baron
Chevrial, falls dead at supper, amid
the talking and music. The doctor in
the play calls out: stop the music
The Baron is deadI' and the curtain
falls.
On one occasion Mansfield was play
ing a one-night stand in a small coun-
try town where the music of the local
orchestra was atrociOus. At the sup
per scene Mansfield fell dead as usual.
but the actor who was playing the part
of the doctor cried out:
stop the music, 1t has killed the
Baroni"
Even Mansfield smiled.

Egypt had roses, wild and tame, before
the Roman occupation made it, in a
way, Rome's commercial rose garden.

Many Smoke; Few Know How To.


Its really remarkable, considering
the IL 1000, 100000 cigars smoked in the
United States every year, how few
men really know how to smoke" said
prominent tobacco dealer. There is
one mistake in particular that even ex-
perienced smokers sometimes make.
That is in not keeping the tobacco
burning properly.
about 80 per cent, should say. of
all the cigars sold are better on the
outside than the inside. This isn't
wholly to deceive the prospective buy
er; it requires a good quality of leaf
to shape the outside of a cigar, while
the filer may be more readily COM
posed of inferior tobacco. The smoker
who permits his cigar to burn inside
the wrapper loses the best part of it.
Practically any cigar is rank when
smoked through the center. The
aroma is lost and the smoke is bitter
and acrid.
Putting on a cigar that is not burn
ing properly only increases the diff
Guilty. The smoker gets more of the
smoke of the inside leaves, and the
whole cigar becomes hot from the eff
fects of the increased combustion in
the center of it. The proper thing, the
only thing to do under the circum-
stances, is to light the cigar again,
taking care that wrapper and all are
included in the lighting If this plan
were followed a good many smokers
would mt change their brand of cigars
so often
