Senator Clapp is a great campalgner

He got to the village and found the
town hall packed with Democrats. He
tried to talk, and they howled him
down. In all he tried half a dozen
times and each time was compelled to
stop because Of the noise.
He was just about to quit when an

MUSIC AT SEA.

Conditions Under Which Ships Sails
Sometimes Sing.
Some curious facts have been noted
with regard to the sound conducting
qualities of ships sails. When rem
dered concave by gentle breeze, the
widespread sails of a ship are said to
be excellent conductors Of sound.
A. ship was once sailing along the
coast of Brazil, far out Of sight Of
land. Suddenly several Of the crew,
while walking along the deck, noticed
that when passing and repassing q
particular spot they always heard with
great distinctness the sound Of bells
Ginning sweet music, as though being
rung but short distance away.
Dumfounded by this phenomenon,
they quickly communicated the discoy-
cry to their shipmates, but none of
them was able to solve the enigma as
to the origin Of these seemingly mys-
ferrous sounds which came to them
across the water.
Months afterward, upon returning to
Brazil, the crew determined to satisfy
their curiosity. Accordingly they men,
toned the circumstance to their
friends and were informed that at the
time when the sounds were heard the
bells in the cathedral Of San Salvador,
on the coast, had been ringing to cell
citrate feast held in honor of one of
the saints
Their sound, wonderful to relate, ia
vored by gentle, steady breeze, had
Travelled a distance of upward Of 100
miles over the smooth water and had
been brought to Il focus by the sails at
the particular locality in which the
sweet sounds were first heard.
This is but one of several instances
of q similar kind, trustworthy authori-
ties claiming that this same music is
often heard under somewhat the same
circumstances and especially in a mois-
ture laden atmospheric Tit

THE TIDY TADPoLE.
EoT This Cheerful Little CannibaI
Eats and Develops

4 1850 &SAtA pS*SAuRHs
a wonderful spirit of tidiness seems
to peryade the tadpole world. They
| always eat whatever has become use
less-their own eggs, their superfIuous
| companions. Even those who are only
weakly are cleared out of the way and
the victims take it all as matter of
course. / have disturbed a strong
member Of the community Just as he
| had begun to dine off the tail of d
weaker brother, but the sufferer has
| not troubled to escape-he simply wait-
ed till the fratricide returned to COM
plete his deadly work.
| For some time there is no grave
| change in the tadpoles. They simply
grow and become SO far transparent
that their internal mechanism, which
consists of one coil of intestines, is
plainly visible. When, however, they
are about three months old a careful
observer can distinguish q tiny foot
on either side of the base of the tail.
These grow slowly, but seem unable
to move Independently until shortly
before the border land is passed which
leads to perfect froghood. The hind
legs have reached their full size before
the front ones appear, and, while the
feet grow slowly, the hands are ready
made and can be used at once For
day or two they can be seen under the
skin before they venture forth, and
their possessor is very restless and ex-
cited. He rushes madIy about, iost-
ling his comrades, and no doubt being
voted bore; then a more vigorous eff
fort breaks the skin and the tiny hand
and arm appear.
There seems some rule about the
order Of precedence here, as there is

sharp passage occurred between him
and Senator Bailey Of Texas a short
time ago over the details Of the pro
posed law. Senator Bacon once had a
controversy with William Nj. Stewart,
who retired from the senate in 1905,
which members of that body still recall
with q smile.
Senator Bacon was assailing the plan
to appropriate $4,000 for a base for the
statue Of Frederick the Great which
the German emperor had given to this
country and inquired lie the president

Senator Bacon
This sort Of thing went on for some
time, and finally Senator Stewart got
the floor and began to tell the senate
all about Frederick the Great. It was
a good speech, but the trouble was that
the senator told the senate about Peter
the Great instead Of Frederick the
Great.

perfectly willing to pay its just pro-

the idea of being Disseminated

WHAT Is CATARRH?
TaIiman & Co. Guarantee a Cure by
Hyomei or VIII Refund the Money.

Until very recent years, it was
thought that catarrh was a disease
of the blood. but now modern science
has proved that catarrh is germ
disease, and can be cured only by
treatment that will kill the germ and
heal the mucous membrane Of the
nose and throat.
Therefore. when you have catarrh,
you can readily see that if you want
to cure it, you should use Hyonlei,
which medicates the air you breathe,
thus killing the catarrhal germs and
healing the smarting and raw men,
brane Of the passages through the
nose and throat. In breathing Hyo-
mel you are really treating your ca
tarrhal troubles with the only natu-
raj method, for it will make the air
you breathe as pure, healing and anti
septic as that found on the noun
taine where the pine forests give off
their fragrant and healing balsams.
If there is any doubt in your mind
as TO- the power Of Eyomei TO cure
catarTh, the unusual way in which it
is sold by Tallman < Co. should de-
stroy all doubt, as they offer 10 refund
the money should Hyomei fail TO ben
eft.
The complete Hyomei outfit, con-
sisting Of an inhaler. a bottle Of Hy-
omei, and a medicine dropper, costs
only 81, while extra bottles can be
obtained for so cents.
Tallman K Co. have hold a great
many Hyomei outfits, and the more
they sell the more convinced they are
that tney are perfectly safe in guar
anteeirg to refund the money IL
Hyonei does not cure.
