Saved Him.

Mr.. d. went to the club, leaving
Mrs. D. with lady friend whose
abilities as scandal monger and
mischief maker were pre-eminent.
When he returned he just poked his
head into the drawing room and
said, with sigh of relief:
"That old cats gone, l suppose?"
For an instant there was pro-
found silence, for as he uttered the
last word he encountered the stony
stare of the lady who had been in
his mind. Then his wife came to
the rescue.
ooh, yes, DEAR" she said. 'T
sent it to the cats home in basket
first thing this morning."

 Pf6position Made tO Honduras Not Well Received.
 Tegucigalpa, Spanish Honduras, Feb 19, via New Orleans, La, Feb. 25.- That the feeling inimical to a propo- sition adavnoeds sby Washington Valen- tine to negotiate a loan of $10,000, 900 for the Honduran government, has been so manifestly intense as to preclude the possibility of any such agreement, Is now considered certain here.- VT 2
 According to publications in newspa- pers here, Mir. Valentine, an American, long Identified with Honduran affairs. particularly of a financial character, proposed to. Honduras to secure for 1t a loan of SIC, 100, 900, to be secured by the customs duties. and the proceeds to be applied to arrangement of the foreign debt. interior debt. inter-ocean- ic railroad and public Improvements.
 The procject, according to announce ment. was practically the same as ar- ranged for Sante Domingo several years ago, and it wa sasserted here that the United States government would place its seal of approval and guarantee on the transaction. The loan was to be made by American cap italists.
 The publication of the proposition was received not only with disap- proval. but open hostility. on the part of the great majority of the people. It was declared that its acceptance would mean the setting up of a pro- tectorate that would not be sanctioned by the citizens. Public demosstra- tions of feeling unfpfendly to MT. Val entine were in evidence on all sides
 A meeting of bankers, business men and officers of the goversment at the palace resulted in an announcement that the proposal would not be con- sidered.

DRUGGISTS ARE KEPT BUSY

This Is simple home recipe now being made known. in all the larger cities through the newspapers. It Is intended to check the many cases of Rheumattsm. kidney and bladder trou- ble which have made so many cripples and invalids and weddings of some of our brightest and strongest people.
 The druggist here have been notifi- ed to supply themselves with the in- gradients, and the sufferer will have no trouble to obtain them. The pre- scription Is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce, and Compound Sy- rup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 Recent experiments prove this sim pie mixture effective in Rheuma tism because of It's positive action upon the eltminative tissues of the kidneys. It compels these most vital organs to filter from the blood and system the waste impurities and uric acid which are the cause of rh emautism. It cleanses the kidneys. strengthens them and re- ache, blood disorders. bladder weak ness, frequent urination, painful scala ing and discolored urine. It acts as powerful stimulant to the entire kid ney and bladder structure.
 Those who suffer and are accustomed to purchase bottle of medicine should not let a little inconvenience interfere with making this up.
