 the real truth was that tho funds had

 A capital story, well balanced, well executed with plenty of thrills when
 the redoubtable Lagardere, a most finished swordsman is busy with his sword thrusts. The story opens with a coterie of skillful French swords men gathered together in rural inn that tops a moat hard by the castle of Louis of Meyers, to slay or rather assassinate whom the swordsmen are assembled. The agent of the Duke dc Gonzague appears shortly to bind the murderous bargain, and the kenest of swashbucklers in bargain making as spokesman for the rest, insists that not 300 but 5000 francs must be the price of the murder with 300 paid down to start with.

Do you know that the game laws
give the city man the edge on the
farmer on whose land the game is
bred, reared and fed? 1t is a fact
and yet some men care not a rap
for that, but willfully crack, frac-

Gems when it suits them.
This is the closed season for
squirrels and yet we saw a man
Monday with a gun, a rabbit and a

That is the class of men that the
law fights, that the farmer closes
his lands or preserves too and just.

Don't, don't, kill game out Of

WHY SUFFER-
Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loath-
some Catarrh Germs.

Just as long as you have catarrh
your nose will itch, your breath
will be foul, you will hawk and spit
and you will do other disgusting
things because you can't help your
self. The germs of catarrh have
got you in their power; they are
continually and persistently digging
into and irritating the mucous
membrane of your nose and throat,
They are now making your life
miserable; in time they will sap
your entire system of its energy,
its strength, its vigor and vitality.
But there is one remedy that
will kill the germs and cure catarrh,
and that is Hyomei, the Australian
dry air treatment.
L. M. Wood, the druggist, will
guarantee Hyomei to cure catarrh,
or money back. Don't delay this
pleasant antiseptic treatment.
Breathe in Hyomei and kill the
germs.
L. M. Wood will sell you a COM
plete Hyomei outfit, including in
haler, for only $100. 1t is also
guaranteed to cure bronchitis, asth-
ma, coughs, colds, hay fever and
