African f:untino.

IR. ]. Cunninghame. famous African
guide. says that all the hardships of At
lean hunting are past and that luxury
has taken their place.
II you go a-hunting lions
Now In Africa afar,
You may penetrate the jungle
In Pullman palace car.
In the very, very darkest
Part Of Africa you may
Press a button for the porter,
Who will bring you vim frappe.
All the forests are illumined
With electric lights, and so
You may roam them without danger
If a-hunting you should go.
All the hardship has departed
With the danger and distress.
All the natives dine at seven.
And they all wear evening dress.
In the thicket and the jungle.
If you care to pay the price.
You may eat a ten course dinner,
With your oysters served on ice.
And when you have slaughtered lions
And have finished for the day
You may pass the time at billiards
Or take in the latest play.

CONFIDENCE
We Back Up Our Statements With Our
Personal Reputation and Money.

Personal Reputation and Money.
We are so positive that we can cure
constipation, no matter how chronic
it may be, that we offer to furnish the
medicine free of all cost if we fail.
1t is. worse than useless to attemo Ut
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much
harm. They cause a reaction. irritate
and weaken the bowels and make con-
stipation more chronic. Besides. their
use becomes a habit that is dangerous
and often fatal.
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To ex-
pect a cure you must therefore tone
up and strengthen those organs and
restore them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active prin-
ciple of our remedy evolved the labor
of the worlds greatest research chem
lists. 1t possesses all the best quail
| ties of the remedial active principle
of the best known intestinal tonics,
and it is particularly prompt in its
results.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are exceed
lingly pleasant to take and are ideal for
children. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels
They have neutral action on other
organs or glands, They do not purge

They will positively cure chronic ol
habituai constipation and the myriads

THE PLEASANT AND EASY WAY
TO CURE cATARRH.

People are quitting stomach dosing
to cure catarrh. It's good sign. 1t
shows an increase in intelligence
which is no doubt due to increased
educational advantages.
A little thought will prove to any ca
tarrh sufferer that the only way TO cure
catarrh is to kill the catarrhal germs.
And the only way to kill the germs
is to get where the germs are with n
powerful antiseptic SO penetrating that
it will reach every part, every nook,
corner and crevice of the germ infest-
ed membrane and destroy the pests.
That is just what Hyomei does. But
it does more; it not only Nils the
germs but soothes and heals the raw
and infiamed membrane, and brings
ii back to its normal condition.

day that Harry had in his hands a piece of cheese?
 q can't say that did or did not' was Mrs. Allyn's answer.
 It was the contention of the state that Harry Sampson was shot down while eat- ing piece of cheese, and that since he was eating he is most unlikely to have been the one who fired the fatal shot.
 Mrs. Allyn finally said she thought Harry had something in his hand when he staggered into the room.
 Clothes Are Burned.
 Mrs Allyn said that when she drove away from the house that morning she saw Mrs. Sampson in the window of the second story of their home.

 Counsel for the defense showed that the dark outer shirt of Harry Sampson had no bullet hole in the left side to corre- spond with the bullet hole on the left hand side of the undershirt.
 John Ebert, a neighbor, declared he had seen the rife in the Allyn woodshed just before the shooting.
 He said that when he saw Harry Samp- sons body the shirts were thrown open at the throat. Under cross ss-examination he stated that Harry Sampson, before the shooting, had shown him a smolSeless cartridge of a calibre that would fit the rifle.
 Ebert further declared that at the fu- neral of Harry Sampson he told Lawyer Tinklehaugh that when he gave Frank Sampson the rife he also gave him a box of smoBeless cartridges.
 Carl D. Allyn, brother of Mrs Samp- son, was the last witness of the day. His testimony corroborated that of his fath- ed, He said he burned the outer shirt that Harry Sampson wore when he was killed.
 The court then adjourned until tomor- rou.

FREE YOURSELF
 FROM SUPERSTITION

Orison Swett Warden in Success Nigga
 zine.
 Before you give up to anothers super stitious ideas, just stop and think how utterly foolish all superstition is. You know perfectly well that nothing can possibly happen in this world without a cause, and one which is big enough to ton and the effect, how can any result
 Say to yourself: If there Is no con nection, no force between the supersti- tion and the eeffct, how can any result possibly follow?"
 People are slaves to superstitous fears just in proportion to their ignorance. Education tends to kill superstition. Did you ever notice how many superstitions youths drop In college? Our universities are the. graveyards of scores Of supersti- tions and just in proportion as person becomes educated and enlightened, cul- tured-as he becomes broader and larger, a complete man or woman, do his super stitions disappear.
 An absence of superstition is usually an indication of a large, creative mind. Very superstitious people are narrow mentally although they may have brilliant talents in some directions, yet they are not level headed, and they do not inspire the con fidence of people in their judgment and good sense
 Commonsense people may smile at you when you parade your superstftions but they will think less of you while they are doing 1t, because their confidence in your good sense. your level-headedness ane ability will be shaken.
 Everywhere we see people doing little mediocre things, who are capable of doing much greater things and who would do them but for the fact that they are held back, tied down, by the bonds of super stition They do not dare to act in op- position to any old wife's saying, and their daily lives are ordered by senseless symbols, signs, omens and predictions of fortune-tellers.

can You Pronounce "Hawalrv :?

Hawaii has been long enough a part of the United States to be pronounced properly by every American. and yet few on the mainland seem to be sure of themselves when they have occas sion to use the name of our one insular territory Probably about the worst result was attained by prominent member of Congress, who recently in course of debate on the floor of the House referred number of times to "Hay-waw-waw." The letter A in Ha- waiian is always given the Roman sound, as in "ah," while I" always has the sound of 'e." "Hawaii' is pro- nounced on the middle syllable, or "Hah-vy-ee." some auth critics hoftina that .'w" should always take the sound of ''v.". The letter "o' always has ths sound as in. the word mo" and the pronunciation of the name of the capi- tai city of the territory is "Ho- no -lu lu," and not Homo -lu-lu," as generally spoken by the Anglo-Saxon.

Elevated Railroad Conductor In Chi caeo Gets a Freak Ride on Top of Box Car-Storm Turns to
 Blizzard In Michigan.

Chicago. April 7.--Wires east of Chi ego as far as Pittsburg were blown down rapidly in today's gale. accord ing to the telegraph companies. Wheel ing, w. Va, reported every wire down east of that point. Of the numerous leased wires running east of Chicago but one was working this afternoon and conditions were said to be growing worse.
 In this city several personss received minor injuries from toppling fences and loosened signboards. Scores of plate glass windows were broken. By far the most freakish whim of the storm was to give a perilous ride to Samuel Holland, an elevated railroad conductor. Holland was seated on the runway of @ box car on the Metropoli- tan elevated road when the roof was lifted up by the gale. It maintained a horizontal position and Holland went whirling away like a fly on piece of cardb oard. He lit over 100 feet from the starting place none the worse for his experience. The roof settled to the ground with comparative steadiness, considering it's weight
 Friends among the train crew in- sisted that the conductor must be h. formally injured, and took him to a physician but the latter confirmed Hol- lands statement that he was unhurt.

Cleveland Is isolated.

Cleveland O., April 1.-The storm which prevailed in northern Ohio today practi cally isolated Cleveland from communica- tion with the east. The 65-miles an houl gale made havoc in all directions. Tho telegraph and telephone wires were re- ported down throughout the state. The damage was confined to the wires accord ing to early reports.
 Navigation on the lake was made haz- ardous by the high seas. The barge Nor man Kelley is reported to be adrift of Kelley's Island with four men and a woman aboard. They have no power or provisions and are in imminent danger of being wrecked. Boats sent to aid them have not succeeded in reaching the craft Smaller craft upon the lake were com pelled to come in to harbor early.
 Many minor accidents were reported ir and about the city.
