The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn hat there is at least
one dread disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that Is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease requires a CON
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally acting directly
from the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
SO much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send

Sunset on Popocatspetl.

There is almost no twilight in MeHi-

orb. descending with growing swift
ness and wreathed in veil of fire,
toward the horizon, writes Lee Wood
ward Zeigler in Recreation. Sudden
" it begins to drop behind the distant
mountains and the shadows advance
across the plain, swallowing up the
landscape in mellow gloom. The
shadow draws near and nearer-er-
velcpes the town. Behind you the
sky is still lit up with rosy beams. A
line Of shadow creeps swiftly up the
rugged sides Of old Popocatapetl, OBJ
securing completely the base of the
mountain as. it advances. Up, up the
snow-oepped crest, deepening in tint.
until at last it hangs like a great opal
against the darkening sky. A mo-
ment it remains so, glowing and quiv-
ering as if on fire-grows smaller and
is gone. Night has come!
Through the dusky silence you
seek your hetel, passing on the road
side silent figures fagot-laden. "Adios,
senor." Their soft-voiced greeting
falls upon your ear like benediction.

a pound and each of its eight legs IS
longer and larger in diameter than

The dog spider does not spread a
net and lie in wait for its prey, as
do the gigantic bird spiders of Ceylon,
but follows the trail in exact imita-
ton of hund. 1t will follow faint
scent to and fro through the weeds
and underbrush until the course is as
certained and then suddenly dart OF

lizard, rat, mole or other animal OF

Scurd Centuries Old.

Mrs. Elan. an old Cherokee woman,
living near Rose, Indian Territory, is
the owner of a gourd which, If ira
6ition is correct. has been handed
down from generation to generation
in her family for nearly 400 years.
The family tradition says the gourd
was raised in the year 1916 in what is
now Ohio, but, however that may be,
ii Is very old in any event. as It has
been in Mrs. Elam's possession for
forty years. and was esteemed an an
cient relic when given her. 1t is not
a large gourd. and is very dark red
color and as highly polished as an old
violin, though Mrs. Elan says that &c
polish save age has ever been ap
plied to it.
