RIGHT TIME TO CURE cATARRH.
The Laurens Drug Company Guarante,
HyOmei Will Cure II Used Now.

The early summer when the weather
becomes arm and settled is the best
time of the whole year to treat catar-
rhal troubles with the expectation of
complete and lasting relief.
Everyone who has catarrh of the
head and throat should know how fool
ish it is to try and cure it by drugging
the stomach.
Until recently your physician would
have said that the only way to cure ca
tarrh would be by a change of climate,
but now with Hyomei you can carry a
health-giving climate in your purse or
vest pocket, and by preaching it a few
minutes four times a day soon cure
yourself.
Everyone who has catarrh, or ever a
tendency to catarrh, should use Hyo-
mel now, for the benefit will be gained
twice as quickly and the disease thor
oughly eradicated from the system.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and includes a neat
pocket inhaler, a medicine dropper, and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment. The inhaler lasts a life
time, and # more Hyomei is needed ex-
ira bottles IN be procured for so cents.
In Laure 7, there are scores of we'll
known Peep. who have been cured of
catarrh b. H )mei. If it does not cure
you, The Lau ems Drug Co., will re-
turn your mon :. This is the strong
est evidence tho can offer as to their
faith in the rem W.

Murder Trials.

Certain murder trials attract too
much attention. On that topic the
commentators of the hour are in vocif-
erous accord. The interest is called
morbid. No other word is wei used
for it; and doubtless morbid it is, al
though the attractions of mystery, pas
sion, and calamity, of strangeness, sin,
and daring, might possibly be defended
in a feeble word or two. The law
knows its business, and leading lawyers
speak sternly of the publicity and
newspaper criticism allowed by Ameri-
ans in murder trials. Yellow journals
take up the cause of any defendant, es-
pecially a woman, whether they think
her guilty or not, if they can make
good copy of the sympathetic vein. -
They forge tales against the prosecu-
ton, and in every possible way work
upon the feelings of the jury as well as
of the public. Moreover, when we are
forced to become acquainted with a de-
PENDANT, we naturally do not wish to
have her killed. Criminal law is a
stern necessity at best, and it can
hardly work fairly if it is conducted by
papers which appeal by calculation and
without scruple to the softer emotions
only. BY the acquittal of a murderess
the kind of life she led may be made to
seem attractive. Thousands of prosti-
tutes may be created by one such cpl
sode. Ladies of that world may be en-
couraged to blackmail and the reckless
use of firearms. Many families may be
ruined. Such are the considerations of
the law, and the reasons why it is
deemed unfortunate for the public and
the press to turn judicial investigation
into a sentimental melodrama or re-
nance. Golfers Weekly.

shaved down like his neighbors. He
lets the grass grow until it is high
enough to make. hay and then sells it
for SO to a livery stable keeper in the
vicinity.
People who have been associated with
him can tell yarns like this by the hour.
Mr.. Sage and his wife are members of
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church.
AS long as he was able to get out they
attend service regularly, and he always
put a SIS bill in the plate. He subscribes
SIS and $40 a year to various benevolent
purposes and one occasion he gave $50
to a mission. That burst of generosity
created a great sensation. Some of his
friends did not believe the story. One
of them was so rash as to bet $500 that
it was not true. Mr.. Sage declined to
discuss the subject, and the dispute was
referred to the pastor of the church,
who assured the inquirers solemnly that
Mr.. Sage had actually given him $50 for
Il certain charity. Whereupon the in
credulous one wanted to bet that the
bill was counterfeit.
Mr.. Sage is supposed to be worth
500, 000, 900 in stocks and bonds which
are slowed away in the vaults of nine
different safe deposit companies. He
has accounts with twelve banks and al
ways insists upon being paid interest on
his deposits. 1t is estimated that he
has ten millions loaned out on securities.
His business goes right along notwith-
standing his illness, being in charge of
Mr.. Osborn, his secretary, and Mr.. Slo-
cum, his brother-in-law. They are the
only people who know any ming about
his affairs; they are the only people he
trusts at all and he has always been
very suspicious Of them. But he had to
trust somebody.
For years, as he has grown old, peo-
pie have been wondering what will be-
come of his money. He has v had
any children and has no relatives except
Mrs. Sage and her brother. She is a
good woman, highly esteemed and be-
loved by every one who knows her, and
her life has been a martyrdom. Her
husband has been as stingy to her as he
has been to everybody else and she has
been compelled to save and scrape and
economize like the wife of a mechanic.
