Agent Mower of the American Ex-

irons of the company who contemplate
the sending of Christmas packages To
relatives or friends at a distance to
send them early and thus avoid the de-
lay that may be occasioned by the rush
that comes with the last few days be-
lore Christmas. The company sup
plies free neat label telling the re-
ceiver not to open the package until

sired. The sending of long distance
packages early not only guarantees
their arrival in season but it also helps
the employees of the company to an ex-
tent that is fully appreciated.

catarrh. 1t will stop foul breath,
watery eyes, and crusts in the nose, in
few days.
It is guaranteed by Bowditch. Web
ster & Co., to do it or money back, and
such a guarantee ought to be strong
enough for anybody.
Entirely Cured by Hyomei.
Having suffered from catarrh for
about two years, and having tried nu-
merous remedies without any satisfac-
tory results, I finally tried Hyomei. and
am glad to state that after using about
one and one-half bottles I am entirely
cured. I have recommended it to
others with satisfactory results.-C. N.

distant future when they would visit the mothers
"Faderland" of vineclad hills and stored castles
and see die Wacht am Rhine"
At the end of that five years, Tom Jarvis came
back to his native village, looking much the same
when he went away, except that he was tanned,
and harder, and had decided western accent in
speech and the manner of his garb. He went
directly to Unc' Willyum's shack and the aged
darkey there that wintry day. in nowise
changed apparently, in his general condition, and
surroundings, from that other wintry day when
Unc' Willyum gave Tom Jarvis his "grampas'
wallet and Tom went West.
There was another little business transaction be.
tween Tom and Unc Willyum, after the greetings
were over and the old man had told the young
how "monst's" glad he was to see him and how
much mo an mo- he looked like his "grampa."
Thence Tom went to Widow Beauclercs cottage
and the mother and daughter, who seemed to be
prepared for his coming, met him with greeting
that seemed to bring him the happiest moments
of his life.
But all that is another story.
cold sort of duty bade Tom Jarvis, after
while to go to his fathers house. and he went.
The place still very chilly. He was invited.
