There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together and until the last few years
was supposed TO be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F.. j. Cheney &
Coz, Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu-
Iionai cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case It
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes-
timonials.

country homes during the winter for a
city fat will not do SO this year. The
reason for their moving to the city Tor
the winter was that there were no
amusements in the country during the
cold weather. This has been changed.
The New York business men have found
a way to make country life pleasant in
the winter as well as in summer. In
stead of going to the city for amuse-
ments they brought the amusements to
the country. They built little theaters
and gymnasiums. They have made pro-
visions for indoor tennis and such other
sports. Time will no longer hang heavy
on their hands in the long winter even
ings.
Figures published recently show that
suicide Is gaining In small towns over
big cities The reason ascribed is that
in big cities people are happier. TbeFe
are more amusements. Why not follow
the example OF the New York business
men and bring amusement to the small
towns?

From the Westminster Gazette

From the Westminster Gazette
There are many who deny that there is
any historical basis for the story of the
Doones Of Badgeworthy. and that there
was ever a giant John Ridd of Dare. But
SO powerful is the romantic influence of
Blackmore's Exmoor story that thousands
of tourists go every year to see the lit
tie church at Dare. and to walk or ride
on Exmoor ponies along the valley to the
water slide. and no matter If the slide
be disappointingly small and there be
doubt about the Doones, the fascination
of the romance will. 1t is safe to say,
prevail for many generations.
Ridd or Red has been a local name in
the district for long time, and there is

CHAPTER Nv.
Shows How Two Pieces of Parch-
ment Were Fitted Together.

Under the circumstances, therefore, and
without thought that my action might
be considered a possible violation of con-
fidence, I looked at the parchment held
in my hand. 1t was evidently the half
of a larger sheet which had been torn
in two. The right half was in my pos
session. A glance showed me that it was
a part of a rudely drawn map, appar-
emily Of an island, although lacking the
other half Of that, 1 could not be quite
certain. Being a seafaring man, I was
familiar with maps and charts of all
sorts, but l must admit that l had never
one. 1t was lettered in characters which
were very old and quaint, and some fig
ures in the upper left-hand corner gave
a latitude. The outlines of the map and
the letters and figures were all very
dim and faded. and a longer and closer
inspection than l could give it then would
be needed to show just what they WERE
My lady's letter was q short one, for
she looked up from 1t presently. her eyes
filled with tears. the first l had seen
there, and for that reason 1 was glad
she should enjoy this relief. I suppose
the fact that she was so alone and had
no one else induced her to confide in me-
At any rate, she extended the paper to

to Inconsistencies is the nerve-racking
and thrilling experience Of X. c. Chip
man. chief Of Dominion geological sur

creek near Wilmer.
Mr.. Chapman had gone out from camp
alone with his rifle to examine the noun
tain side behind the camp. which Is very

Presently he sat down on a log to rest;
a bear charged at him from some bushes
without the slightest warning.

self he saw a pair of cubs to one side and
behind him. Unknowingly he had sat
down to rest between female grizzly
and her young. Firing one shot, he
rushed down the steep mountain side. the
bear following with such determination
and force that it rushed clean past him.
Instantly Mr.. Chapman turned and went
back up the hill. AS bear. however,
can run faster up hill than down. he was
quickly caught by the huge beast and
shaken as easily as a terrier shakes a
rat. Luckily the fierce shaking caused
the bear to loose her footing on the steep
hillside and both rolled together some
distance down before bringing up.
1t was now that Mr.. Chapman displayed
the courage and presence Of mind that
saved his life. for on bringing up among
some bushes he lay perfectly quiet. reign
ing death. Satisfied, after shifting him
all over, that he really was SO, the bear
ambled away to her cubs.
On his men getting to him he was car
ried into camp and made comfortable.

here for DR.. Opie, as it was found impos-
sible to carry Mr. Chapman out from the
head Of Mineral creek to the junction
with Toby river and the logging road DR..

He found that the leather leggins worn
by Mr. Chapman had practically saved

injury. but not so with the left which is
