Gives Relief Quickly.

No other medicine gives such prompt
relief as Hyomei in the treatment of
catarrh.
The first breath of this remedy
soothes and heals the irritated and
smarting air passages, and the regular
use for a few days or weeks will cure
the most stubborn case. Sone of the
reports of those who have been cured
of catarrh by Hyomei read like
miracles.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $l.OO, consisting of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect a cure
in ordinary cases, but for chronic and
eep-seased cases of catarrh longer
use may be necessary, and then extra
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for
use.
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to the powers
Of Hyomei TO cure catarrh is the fac
Chas. w. Loomis will agree to refund
he money if you say Hyomei has moi
helped you.

FEW ELEPHANTS EXPORTED
During 1908 Only Eight Pachyderms
Were Sent from British India
Seven to Germany.

In the new CeylOn Handbook
and Directory an interesting rec
ord is that of the export of ele-
plants from the island during the
past Al years. In 1903 there were
only eight of these pachyderms
sent out of the country, one to
British India and seven to Ger
many.
The price paid for these animals
was 1900 rupees, giving a modest
average of S25 rupees each. A
royalty of rupees 200 per head was
imposed in 1873, and the number
of elephants exported, which had
fallen low before then, dwindled
in the next few years to three and
even to one. In 1882 the royalty
was reduced to Rs. 100, in the hope
that business might revive and en-.
couragement be given to supply
ing the new demand for Ceylon
elephants in the continental me-
nageries. The rajahs' courts in
India had previously formed the
chief market for them. The total
number sold in the time treated OF
was 2,225, or an average of so pei
annum.
Mr.. Alfred Clark, an expert, es
Inmates that there are now only
1000 elephants in CeylOn. The
royalty in 1891 was again reduced
to Rs 200.
Whether the effect of this viii
be to permit the animals to in
crease in undue proportion t,
their available haunts or tina
spOrtsmen shooting elephant
will counterbalance the decreas,
in the export remains TO be seen.

ASKED AID OF PRESIDENT.
Two Kansas Children Wrote to Exec
utive Requesting Return Of Cow
Attached for Mortgage.

The La Harpe (Kan9 Review
tells a pleasant story of a little
boy and a little girl who thought
that the president of the United
States could do just anything. II
was shortly after Chester A. Ar.
thur had come to the presidency
The parents of the little children
were very poor. They had been
compelled to sell their stock from
the "claim' until only one COW.
Old Pink, remained to them. But
there was a mortgage on Old Pink,
and in the course of time the mort.
gage took her, and the family had
nothing with which to keep star
walton at bay. The father went
away from home seeking work,
and the mother and two children
barely kept the wolf from the
door
Then it was that a happy
thought came to Jimmy and Jess,
the boy and girl. Procuring a
scrap of paper and a pencil they
labOriOusly indited the following
letter to President Arthur:
"mr. president we want you to
have our old cow pink sent back
home.
"jimmy and jess"
They were not quite clear as to
their rights in the premises, or the
manner in which their epistle
would be received by the post Of
flee department. SO they tiptoed
into the little post Office and
dropped their letter without en-
velOpe or direction into the mail
box and then ran for home as fast
as they could 90.
OF course the letter did not
travel the long road to Washing
ton, and President Arthur never
knew of the confidence reposed in
his power by two children on the
plains of Kansas. But the post.
master brought results quite as
e~ffectually as the president could
He showed the letter to people as
they came to the post office. and
presently the few men of the towr
got together and went down to sec
the old man who had taken Ole
Pink on the mortgage. The Re
yiewsays that a shotguni is alleged
to have taken quite a prominen-
part in the negotiations which fol
lowed. Be that as it may, Ok
Pink was returned without none,
and without price, and two LITTLE
tads went to sleep that night re
joicing at the far reach of thu
mighty man at Washington.

Governor Peabody issued the

more than any other emblem in
the world, stands for honor and

anniversary of the birth of our
country's standard should, there
fore, be celebrated by all liberty
loving and patriotic citizens with
the display OF the stars and stripes
on all public buildings, business
houses, schools and homes; and
particularly by such exercises OF
patriotic nature in our schools
as to imbibe in the minds OF our
youth that great love for our ma
tional emblem and for the ln-
portant principles it bespeaks, as
to insure to the generations yet
to come the pure, true and Amer
lean government of our fathers.
"Now, therefore, |, James ii.
Peabody, goverenor of the state
of Colorado, do call upon the peo-
pie of the state to observe Tues
day, June Ia, 1904, as Flag day,
and do urge the mayors OF our
various cities and towns to espe-
cially at this time aid their citi-
zens in commemorating the day,
to the end that we shall the more
firmly strive to so conduct our
lives as to honor that glorious
banner that honors us; and thus,
with fervent and patriotic pur-
poses will we ever in following
