A Boomerang Joke.

"On our return trip to New York on the Minnetonka," said a ChicagoAn, some one told Mark Twain. on rough. windy morning, that he looked seasiek.
 '"You look it. the other persisted.
 s'Then Mark Twain laughed his short, eruff laugh and told us all Q story.
 s.EIe began by saying that 1t never paid, neither in jest or earnest, to tell people that they did not look well
 He said there was practical joker in a certain New York office. Thia young man put up a practical joke on the bookkeeper, a quiet, steady, eeri~ ous chap. The joke was for every one to tell the bookkeeper that he looked very. very bad indeed. It was Won- dered what effect this would have.
 Tt was a hot August morning when the JokeAbegan. The office boy started it.
 ".Ain't ye well. Mir. ouillT he said.
 "'Yes, of course. WhyT Quill asked.
 "'Why, ye look so pale said the boy. ,"I feel all right said Quill clamlys and he put on his seersucker office coat and set to work.
 But when the shipping clerk told him he looked i'll. Quill frowned and said he had had a bad night---that was all.
 "When the cashier asked him what made him a queer color. he said his heart felt strange.
 "So, for an hour or two, QuilI was tormented with anxious inquiries. full of gloomy foreboding. about his health. And finally, with an impatient, wor- ried gesture. he threw down his pen and hastened to the office of the chief.
 He was gone perhaps five minutes. Then he came back again in the chiefs company.
 "Men, said the chief. raising his hand to command the attention of all. as MT. Quill is most unwell, have granted him a ten days leave of absence. Please arrange to divide hts work equally amongst you till he re- turns"

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. II
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any cas- ir
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.
