Every one knows Charles Dana
Gibson, the creator of the "Gibson

his recent decision to abandon pen and
ink work, to voluntarily give up an in,
come of sixty Thousand dollars year
from Golfers Weekly, in order to go
to Paris and study the art of oil
painting for the sake of art alone.
In his chosen field of pen and ink
sketches Charles Daua Gibson stands
alone. The excellence of his terr-
nique, the dryness of his humor and
the depth of his pathos have made him
as familiar to the people of Canada,
Australia and England as he is to his
fellow countrymen and fellow towns
men in New York. The New York
World is about to publish a series of
articles on pen and ink sketching rs
exemplified in the work of this great
American artist, and by special ar
rangement with Golfers Weekly las

Sold Hyomei for Years and Knows II
Will Cure Catarrh

Anders Jacobsen has given Hyomei
a most thorough and remarkable test
For long time he has offered to re.
fund the money to any purchaser of
Hyomei, if it failed to benefit.
The remedy has made so many
cures among his customers that he
has urged it's use in the most chronic
cases of catarrh.
Breathed for a few minutes four
times day, through the inhaler that
comes with every outfit, it soothes
the irritated mucous membrane of the
nose, throat and lungs, kills the ca
tarrhal germs, and restores complete
health. Its healing, antiseptio fra
GRANGE penetrates to the most remote
air passages, as no medicine taken
into the stomach can possibly do.
Immediate relief almost always fol-
lows the use of Hyomei, and great
benefit is seen after few days treat
ment.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
only 81, and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the pocket or
purse, and will last lifetime, med
icine dropper, and bottle of Hyomei.
If this is not sufficient for complete
cure, additional bottles of Hyomei
can be obtained for so cents.
Compare this small expense with
the fees charged by specialists, and
remember, too, if Hyomei does not
cure, Anders Jacobsen will return
your money.

A certain druggist who does not like
to answer night calls. especially as he
has found by experience that he Of
tends people who call him up at night
by his displeased abrupt manner has
devised a scheme by which he does not
have to get up and at the same time
does not lose customers. In his own
words he works it this way:
81 disconnect my bell so that 1t can
not ring. After waiting some time the
person who wants to get in gives 1T up
as a bad job aud goes down the street
to the next store This man opens for
him, but is naturally very much dis
pleased, and, as 1 usually do, he shows
that he is disgruntled and offends the
customer Early the next morning the
customer calls at my store to inform
nae that my bell is out of order and tells
me what low opinion he has of the
other druggist, whom he considers
very impolite man."-New York Times.

''ranker" that ever rose from being a
private soldier to the command of d.

Lucknow, and in connection with its

Evening News. OF course there was q
general parade of "every man who

who pinned the decoration on the he

speech, in the course Of which he al
luded to the episode as "a good days

the Glyn mill on the Sd inst died
from the effects last Sunday morning.
He was conversing with friends few
moments before and so sudden a ter
mination was not looked for, though
symptoms of day or two previous
had not been regarded as encouraging.
Tuesday was an uncommon bad day,
with it's pouring rain and powerful
wind. 1t was a sad time to per-
form the mournful rites of burial,
as was found by the relatives and Ma

The hearse was blown over in the

from it, and the wind and rain made

In South as in North America ma
ture does her work on the grand scale,
and one of her noblest achievements is
the Amazon river. Rising in the Andes,
1t flows across the continent and dis
charges into the Atlantic ocean at the
equator. The vastness Of the area
which it drains, amounting to 2,368,OOG
square miles. will be evident when it
is borne in mind that this is more than
the area of Russia in Europe and Aus.
tria-Hungary. 1t has length of near
" 1000 miles, is navigable for 1900
miles from the sea and is fed by nu-
merous streams, which in any other
country would be ranked as great riv-
ers. In the wet season. which lasts for
about eight months, it's width varies
from five miles to 400. No wonder the
Amazon has been called a gigantic
reservoir rather than a river.

Phys1OgnOmy.

DR.. Bernardo, the great London child
saver, was once discussing crime and
criminals with a Scotland Yard ex-
pert and expressed his disbelief in the
theories of heredity and criminal phys
iOgnomy. He produced two photo
graphs Of two well known men and
showed the faces only to the expert
"One," he said, sis that of once noto-
rious criminal, and the other is that OF
a notably good man. Tell me which is
which," Without hesitation the expert
designated one of the photographs as
that of the notorious criminal. DR..
Bernardo was triumphant. The expert
criminologist had chosen the photo
graph of an archbishop of Canterbury.

In hardening, bright steel should not
be exposed naked to a fire or fame.
1t may with advantage be placed in a
covered box containing bone dust or
animal charcoal in some other form, or
another plan is to smear soap all over
the article to be hardened. Water or
oil is the medium generally selected
for plunging the article in to cool it.
Petroleum is recommended If extra
hardness is desired. Either mercury or
salt water will give great hardness, but
the steel is rendered brittle. Oil is the
best medium for hardening steel If
toughness is required.

The young man who professed that
he could read character from hand
writing looked attentively at the scrap
of letter which had been given him
by a friend and shook his head.
"The woman who wrote that" he
said in his most judicial tone, sis un-
doubtedly possessed of personal attrac-
lions and unfortunately too well aware
of them, but her character, sir, is weak
as water She lacks determination,
consistency, ambition of high order
and originality. Am l not correct in
my synopsis so far as you known

other, "for I've never seen the writer.
She's the widow Of my cousin Jim, In

agreeable scapegrace who never stayed
in one position or place for more than
six months and was always in debt.
He married her twelve years ago, set
tied in a small city, built up a fine
business, became mayor last year, just
before he died, and has left life in
surance of $4,000 and an excellent in
come besides to his widow and four
children.
