There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton 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 1t local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced 1t i'm
durable. Science has proven Catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure.

STOCKMEN WILL BE WELL
SUPPLIED WITH FEED.

Philip Krieger OF Herington boasts
of the great show for forage feed
for next winter, and how much bet
ter off stockmen will be at the end
of the season than they were a year
ago, so far as feed is concerned. "The
third cutting OF alfalfa is about
ready" Mr.. Krieger said. This feed
alone will provide more for the farm
ers than all the feed put together a
year ago. The wheat is turning out
far better too, than was expected,
and the oats crop was good. -

John Burroughs is we'll known as

In this country Some time ago he
visited his brother, Eden Burroughs,
who lives in the Catskills, at a place
called Hobart. The two brothers went
fox hunting together. The honor OF
the hunt came to Eden, who shot the
only fox. 1t SO happened that fox
skins were worth five dollars at that
time, and the successful Nimrod took
much pride In telling how he got the
better of the sage of Slabsides. Later,
in boasting to a few friends about 1t
in the presence of his brother, john
he was interrupted by, You have
Dragged about that fox hunt long

CHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS

632 N. 9TH ST., Terre Haute, Ind
my little nephew, boy Of four
years, had breaking out on his face.
1t was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but 1t did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say it hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
The next morning I made a strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth ON them. After / had his
face washed, put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on and In short time his little
face was all red and dry. I kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as
well and it did not leave scar. He
was entirely cured in about one week
and half" (Signed) Mrs. Arthur

his ten children he had positive hat
red for his clever daughter Wilhelm
ina and for his eldest son Frederick.
Young Frederick was brought up
in strict, cruel manner, such as few
modern boys would endure. He was
sensitive and high-spirited. The pris-
on-like discipline and harshness might
well have broken weaker spirit. 1t
merely strengthened Fredericks. At
length Frederick Williams cruelty to-
ward the lad became unbearable. Fred
erick, in 1870, when he was eighteen
years old, planned to escape from
bondage and to take refuge with his
uncle, King George II. of England. He
needed confederate to help him es-
cape. So he chose his dearest friend,
Lieut.. Won Katie.
The plot was discovered by the king
Won Katie was thrown into prison and
was sentenced by military court-mar-
tial to remain there for two years.
Frederick was also arrested and taken
before his father. The king was mad
with rage, heaped vile insults on the
helpless youth, then rushed fiercely at
him, beating him almost to death be-
| fore bystanders could drag him away.
| But this did not check Frederick Will
| liam'S wrath. He declared that
his son, as a colonel in the Prussian
army, had been guilty of attempted
desertion in trying to escape to Eng
land. He had him placed in solitary
confinement in the fortress of Custrin
and ordered him beheaded.
| Only the stern protests of other Eu-
ropean sovereigns prevented the king
| from carrying out this unnatural
| threat. But he chose another punish
ment almost as cruel. Condemning
| Lieut.. Won Katie to death, he had a
scaffold erected just outside Freder-
| ick's prison window and forced the
wretched prince to witness his friends
execution. AS the lieutenant mounted
/ the scaffold Frederick called out to
him, sobbing:
ooh, forgive me, dear Katte!"
| The lieutenant answered bravely:
| 1T is a pleasure to die for so gal
liant prince"
The king next tried in vain to force
Frederick to give up his claims as
heir to the throne. Failing in this, he
kept him long in semi-imprisonment
and forced him to marry princess he
greatly disliked.
Yet, at the time of his own death, in
1740, the old king last words were:
81 die content, having noble son to
succeed mel"

gained many victories. He could not
wholly conquer the king. At last, in
1869, he induced Pedro-to come to his
tent for a peace conference.
Scarcely had the two half-brothers
met in the tent than they flew at each
others threats like angry dogs.
Henry stabbed Pedro with a dagger.
But the blade broke off against the
coat of mail the king wore under his
cloak Pedro then, by main force,
caught Henry in his arms and hurled
him to the ground. But one of Henry's
followers tripped Pedro and sent him
sprawling. Before the fallen king
could scramble to his feet, Henry
drove a sword through his throat.
Thus persisted Pedro the Cruel in
his thirty-sixth year. Henry seized
the throne, put the slain monarch s
two sons in a cage and starved them
to death. Scoundrel though Pedro was,
he had been loved by the common peo-
pie. Many of them prospered under
his reign, and a whimsical sense of
fairness on his part had led them to

POPULAR SYMBOL OF VALUE
Young Man Evidently Was Lacking In
His Appreciation of the Coun-

There is plenty OF food for cynical
thoughts in the national capital, as Is
shown by the following incident which
happened on Washington street car:
A worldly young man, prone to crit
icise, was gazing at the advertise
ments which decorate the interior OF
the car One advertised a new kind
of collar for men. The dome OF the
capitol was represented encircled by
one of the collars, and on the SEN
ate and house wings of the build
Ing were placards giving prices and
sizes. The plaeard on the senate end
Of the capitol read, Quarter size,
and that on the other end said, TWO
for quarter"
The worldly cynical young man
turned to his companion.
