suburban trains was also inciosed. a
bit OF much appreciated thoughtful
ness on the part Of the recipients.
They were met at the station by the
two young sons Of the household
garbed in real Indian" suits, with an
abundance of war paint and feathers.
There were two tents in the back
yard, and between them a table with
benches awaited the arrival OF the
enemy" There were camp fires In
the sand, one for roasting potatoes,
the other for corn. while a third was
presided over by an expe.. woodsman.

The keeper Of the stage door to a

there is not much in proverbs AM
that 13 is a pretty lucky number.
The other night as he was sitting
drowsily guarding the sacred precincts

young man with nothing but money
and a thirst and who seemed to be
waiting for somebody, invited him 10

For a moment the doorkeeper eyed
the young man suspiciously-whe he
is invited to quit his post there is usu-
ally cause for suspicion. Then be
coldly explained that he couldn't gel
away.
"Oh, we'll" remarked the other non.
chalantly. I'm go. anyway, you can
take one when you feel like it," With
that he flung half dollar in the door
keepers lap
The doorkeeper slipped the silver
piece into his pocket and smacked his
lips in anticipation.
When the young man returned wip-
ing his mouth, he sat down on a bar
rel near the entrance and began a
friendly confab. Pretty soon, how
ever, he grew restless again.
Have a.drink?" he asked the door
keeper, absentmindedly
This time the dragon explained the
situation more graciously.
"Oh, all right. Get one when you
feel like it. I'll take mine now" and
again a silver half dollar landed in
the doorkeepers lap.
BY the time the young man re-
turned he was beginning to feel cheer
full, but in ten minutes he began to
fidget

doorkeeper started to explain. and the
young fellow said: VERY WE'LL" and
was on again leaving the same silver
remembrance behind him.
That was early in the evening. II

Fish Dropped From Clouds.

During the remarkable thunder
storms in the state of Queensland
Australia, an extraordinary phenom.
enon was witnessed at place called
Cooper's Plains, near Brisbane. In
the midst of the rain there suddenb
fell from the skies a large number OF
young fish. The fish fell at first in
twos and threes, but subsequently
came in dozens, until a large area OF
ground was strewn with live fish
measuring from one and half inches
to three inches.
Experts in the district described the
fish as Of fresh water variety never
before seen near Brisbane. The the
ory accounting for the phenomenon
most generally accepted is that the
storm generated a waterspout In one
Of the rivers and that the fish were
sucked up by It and carried BY the
wind some long distance before being

WHAT IS CATARRH ;?
Disease Prevalent Now But Can Be
Cured Quickly With HyOmei.


Until very recent years, it was
thought that catarrh was a disease of
the blood, but now modern science
has proved that catarrh is a germ dis
ease. and can be cured only by a
treatment that will kill the germ and
heal the mucous membrane of the
nose and throat.
Therefore, when you have catarh,
you can readily see that If you want
to cure it, you should use Hyomei,
which medicates the air you breath,
thus killing the catarrhal germs and
healing the smarting and raw mem
brane of the passages through the
nose and throat In breathing Hyo-
mel you are really treating your ca
tarrhal troubles with the only nat
ural method, for it will make the air
you breathe as pure, healing and anti
septic as that found on the noun
tains where the pine forests give of
their fragrant and healing balsams.
