Beware of 0intments for Catarrh that
contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely de-
range the whole system when entering
it through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten fold to the good you can
possibly derive from them. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.

No mercury, and is taken internally,

Roof Dogs of New York.

There are dogs in New York that
never set foot on the street. They be-
long to the janitors in the downtown
buildings, and their runways consist
Of the roofs of the buildings in which
their owners live and adjoining roofs
on the same level. That is a rare day
when the Office worker on looking out
Of the sixteenth story window does
not see half a dozen dogs romping
about upon the roofs beneath him.
There is one advantage at least in be-
ing roof dog-the dog catcher has no
terrors for him.

THE CALM BAD MAN.
He Is More Dangerous Than the One
Who Busters.

He Is More dangerous Than the One
Who Busters.
The bad man of genuine sort rarely
looked the part assigned to him in the
popular Imagination. The long haired
blusterer, adorned with a dialect that
never was spoken, serves very well in
eastern fiction about the west, but that
is not the real thing The most danger
GUS man was apt to be quiet and
smooth spoken. When an antagonist
clustered and threatened, the most
dangerous bad man only felt rising in
his own soul, keen and stern, that
strange exultation which often comes
with combat for the man naturally
brave. A western officer of established
reputation once said to me while speak
ing Of a personal difficulty into which
he had been forced: 81 hadn't been in
anything Of that sort for years, and
wished was out of it. Then 1 said to
myself, is it true that you are getting
old and have lost your nerve? Then
all at once the old feeling came over
me, and was just like 1 used to be. l
felt calm and happy, and laughed aft
er that. 1 jerked my gun and showed
it into his stomach. He put up his
hands and apologized. L will give you
a hundred dollars now,' he said, if
you will tell me where you got that
gum I suppose was a trifle quick
for him."-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Sketch at Orpheum Wins
Unprecedented Tribute
BY James Crawford

r rs a pretty strong dramatic offer
ing In vaudeville that it rewarded
with curtain call after curtain call
until the principal actors are
obliged, in the interest of peace, to re-
peat portion of their performances
That's what occurred yesterday af-
ternoon at the Orpheum after the one
act play. The Fifth Commandment, =
had consumed its allotted twenty min
utes and the hearts of the great audi
ence were released from it's grip. Such
tribute. l think, was never before paid
to the merit of dramatic production
on any San Francisco stage. We have
all appiauded players until they plainly
were fatigued by bowling response, but
have yet to hear of another instance
when cessation of the plaudits could
only be procured 1t the cost of doing
part OF the play over again.
True It is that the part repeated was
musical. but the music was indis-
pensable TO the action of the drama
and by no means its most telling fea-
ture. Indeed 1T would be difficult to
determine what was the phase that
contributed most to the heart-gripping
process. SO equal in strength were the
effects of the construction. the acting
and the music. 1t was their united
force that made the complete success
There is nothing very ingenious in
the story of The Fifth Command
ment-" A motherless young girl dwell
ing with her opulent grandfather cele-
brates her birthday by inviting to the
mansion two wandering musicians,
vocalist and a harpist, to play while
she Is at dinner. In the midst OF
song the singer sees a picture upon a
table and recognizes it as portrait of
his dead wife. He is examining it and
his comrade is footing when the grand
father enters and naturally looks upon
both men as thieves. He drives the
harpist from the chamber, and then
ensues an intensely thrilling scene be-.
tween the old man and the vocalist,
who eventually turns out to be the
girls father. She had believed him
dead; me had not known Of her exist
ence. There Is the usual happy ending.
of course, and the curtain descends as
the old man is repeating the Fifth
Commandment. Honor thy father and
thy mother
In the hands OF other people the pay
might be feeble, for despite it, struc-
