Rabbit Got the Ferret.

On Sunday, Dec. 9th, Atty. w.
w. Davidson and Chas. Nichols were
out hunting rabbits with ferret
(not a tax ferret) when the ferret
got rabbit in a hole, just as the
tax ferret gets some people in hole,
but neither bunny nor the ferret
came out again although the boys
waited long tine as patiently as
Job, but finally came home. How
ever, on Jan. 1, 1908, the boys went
to the place again and dug out the
varmints, discovering that the rabbit
was dead and fast in the hole so the
ferret could not get out. The ferret
was alright in spite of the fact that
he had been imprisoned in dungeon
for five days.-Elkader Democrat.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST.
The Awful Toll Collected by
Consumption.

If the people could understand that
Catarrh is an internal scrofula-that
nothing applied externally does much
good-they would not need to be
warned so often about this fatal dis
ease, which, when neglected, invari-
ably ends up in Consumption, at the
cost of millions of lives every year.
Yet catarrh is easily cured if the
right treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in the
blood which circulate throughout
the entire system. External remed-
les give but temporary ease. AL
though the effects are often seen in
the form of pimples, rash, eczema or
dry scaly skin, the trouble is internal,
and can never be cured by external
remedies.
The only way to cure Catarrh is
by employing a medicine which is
absorbed and carried by the blood
to all parts of the system, so that
the mucous membrance or internal
lining of the body is thoroughly med
icated. soothed, disinfected of germ
matter, and the soreness healed.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
Catarrh a specially and whose record
of success was a cure in every case
where his treatment was followed as
prescribed. That remedy is Rexall
Mucu-Tone We are so positive that
it will cure Catarrh in all its vari
Gus forms, whether acute or chronic,
that we promise to return every
penny paid us for the medicine in
every case where it fails to cure or
for any reason does not satisfy the
user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you, live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rex
all Mucu-Tone on our guarantee.
The prices are soc. and 81. Very
often, in chronic cases a longer
treatment is necessary. The average
in such instances is three $1.00 bot

Little Girl Heroine.

The presence of mind of Ruth, the
14-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nj. M. Ullom of Nashua, probably
saved the life of her little nephew
and the home from being consumed
by fire. The little boy, who is "
years old, took a gallon can Of kero-
sene and threw it in the stove and
then struck a match and set it on
fire. The explosion that followed
ignited his clothing and burned his
face and hair. His aunt Ruth, the
little girl mentioned, rushed into the
room and with great presence of
mind threw her dress about his head
extinguishing the blaze. The little
fellows injuries are very painful,
but are not considered dangerous.

He Vision Of Heaven and the Story
Of the Mountain.
Halabi, the founder Of Islam, was
born at Mecca in the year A. d. $40.
He died June 8, $50, at the age of sew
enty-two. He assumed the titular
name Of Mohammed, which means, ac-
cording to some authorities, the pre-
dicted Messiah"
One Of the most extravagant rela-
lions which can be found in any Ian
guage is credited to Mohammed.
Speaking of the sights he beheld when
transported to heaven" he says: IL
saw there an angel, the most gigantic
Of all created things. 1t had 10000
heads, each head had 10000 faces, each
face had 10000 mouths, each mouth
had 10000 tongues and each tongue
spoke 10000 languages. All were en-
ployed In singing Gods praises"
When Mohammed first announced
his divinely inspired and appointed
system the Arabs demanded super
natural proofs of his commission.
Moses and Jesus" said the Arabs,
wrought miracles in the testimony
Of their divine authority. And If thou
art indeed a prophet Of God do SO like
wise."
''It would be tempting God to do So"
replied Mohammed, "and bring down
his anger. as In the case Of Pharaoh"
As the story Is told In Brewers
"Phrase and Fable" the Arabs were
not satisfied with this answer, and
Nchammed then commanded one OF
tho numerous eminences near Mecca
to come to him. The mountain not
stirring at Mohammed's bidding, the
prophet exclaimed: God Ia mercifull
