ten gentlemen who had cooked it and
were trying 10 eat il were having the
greatest fun. II made them feel young
again. Several had burned their fin
gers with the frying pan, and one had
Scalded himself with the boiling kettle

that the lampcr tasted as good as it

There were only ten of them as yet,
because the two who were TO do the
buShrangiug act did not appear upon

Then they sat down to their cut

il is a game which can only be played
by three players. This arrangement
left one of them Over-Sir Joseph BeS-
sells who was ordered to wash up. and
incidentally, to keep a sharp lookout
for possible buShrangers. Farthing dips
were melted in their own grease, and
stuck upright on the rough deal table.
The packs Of cards were dirty and Old
and thumbed. Great fat bags Of mug
gets and gold dust were produced and
slammed down on the board. Miners

verbally reckless, and must play high.

Joseph BesSelS, who was making a
great mess washing up. saw the door
Of the Grand Hall stcalthily open, and
two bearded figures glide in.

said. in a loud stage whisper.

KILLS CATARRHAL GERMS.
Hyomei'S Healing Air Reaches Every
Part of Nose, Throat and Lungs.

Hyomei's Healing Air Reaches Every
Part of Nose, Throat and Lungs
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Stom-
ach dosing does not reach the catar-
rhal germs in the air passages and
cannot possibly drive them from the
system. BY breathing air medicated
with Hyomei the germs in the nose,
throat and lungs are killed and all
traces of catarrhal poison are effectu-
ally driven out.
Some people may think that Hyo-
mel is simply for catarrh of the head
and throat, but it is equally effective
in catarTh of the stomach, liver or
kidneys The catarrhal germs are
in the mucous membrane and Hyo-
mel not only kills the germs in the
air passages, but enters the blood
with the oxygen, thus killing the
germs in the blood and freeing the
whole system from catarrh.
Hyomei is sold by Hood & Curtin

fund the money unless it cures A
