waiting at the piar. He rode uptown
always at the expense of the opera
company-and took a look around.
Then he decided to put up at the Mari
borough hotel which happened to be
only three short blocks from the Metro
politan Opera House. Every time he
sang he walked up to the opera house,
refusing to take a carriage. He said
he had just as soon walk. When 1t
came time for him to return to Europe
he presented bill for over $500 flor
carriages TO and from the opera"
"But you didn't take a carriage,
said the manager of the opera COM
pany.
Tamagno bowed low and invited the
manager to look at the contract he
repeated the same suggestion when
ever anything was said about 1t. The
result, OF course, was that the 5000
had 10 be paid. He stood out Tor 1t
with as much insistence as If he hadn't
seen q dollar for a month, and all the
time he was getting $1,000 night

THE YELLED PROPHET.

He Was the Most Noted ImPostor Of
the Middle Ages.
The celebrated Yelled Prophet of
history was a Moslem fanatic whose
real name was Haken Ibn Hashem.
He was born about the middle Of the
eighth century and became the most
noted impostor of the middle ages.
He pretended that he was an embodi-
ment of the spirit of the Giving God"
and, being very proficient in jugglery
(Which the ignorant mistook for the
power to work miracles), soon drew
an immense number of followers
around him. He always wore a gold
mask, claiming that he did 80 to pro-
tect the mortals of this earth, who, he
said, could not look upon his face and
live.
At last, after thousands had quilted
the city and even left the employ Of
the Caliph al Mohdi to join the fanat-
zeal movement, an army was sent
against the yelled Prophet" forcing
him to fee for safety to the castle at
Keh, north of the Oxus. Finally,
when ultimate. defeat was certain, the
prophet killed and burned his whole
family and then threw himself into
the flames, being entirely consumed
except his hair, which was kept in
museum at Bagdad until the time tt
the crusades. He promised his faith
full followers that he would reappear
to them in the future dressed in white
and riding white horse.

CATARRH
ASSISTING BLOOD. DISEASE

Catarrh Is not merely an affection
of the mucous membranes; it is a
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part of
the system are involved. It is more
commonly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because of the sensi1
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca
tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat c1ogged
and dry, hacking cough, ETC., show
that the tiny blood vessels of the mt
cous membranes are badly congested
and inhamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per-
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed of all I'M
healthy matter. Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. 1t attacks
