500 Reward, $1OO

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreadful disease
that science has been able to
cure in all it's stages, and that
is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fratern-
ity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative pow
ers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that
it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.

Dangers of Draft

Drafts feel best when We are hot and

apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t stimulates
circulation to the sore and painful part.
The blood flows freely and in a short
time the stiffness and pain leaves. Those
suffering from Neuralgia or Neuralgia

ued. land has been a little sufferer
all her life-weak, puny, nervous
no appetite, no control over her
kidneys and had headache almost
all the time.
1.-The child never was strong
even from the cradle, and when
she got little older and would try
to play with the other children and
was too weak to romp and keep up
with them, it just didn't seem right,
for she seemed so anxious to be
with them and do as they did. IT
made me mighty sad and brought
many a big lump into my throat to
see her that way, and somehow
never could get used to it.
There was nothing on earth too
good for her, and we did everything
we could think of to try and rid
her of the pains and weakness and
make her like other children; but
nothing seemed to do her any
good.
ct has always been a great wor-
ry to get something for her to eat
that would agree with her, and it
was disheartening job, too, for
almost everything would give her
heartburn or sour stomach or cause
her to wake up in the night with
pains. We'd try first one thing
after another, and when everything
would fail we would feel dishearten-
ed and helpless.
''There is nothing quite so OPP
pressive as the feeling that gets

LITTLE ESSAY ON PANTS
Some Very Interesting Thoughts on
Those Worn by Male of the
Species.

Pants are of two kinds; human and
dog.
The human pants of commerce are
worn mainly by males.
But equal rights prevail among
dogs.
Human pants are worn thicker in
winter and thinner in summer.
The dogs pants come thicker in the
summer
The dogs lungs are the seat of its
pants. (Date 1875, Hostetter's AL
manac.)
White pants are not garment. They
are business to themselves.
The man who wears them doesn't
work at much else at the time.
When I was small and on a farm, /
wore pants that were not new.
So far as could find out, they never
had been new.
When they had been first worn out,
by the first tailless ancestor 1 had,
they had been patched at all the ven
tilated places.
When the original goods wore out
between the patches, the first patches
were connected by other patches.
And sew on.
Where they overlapped-the patches
the goods became about an inch
thick.
And when human legs made of any
material less durable than vulcanized
flint are incased in a set of inch-and-a-
quarter Deer Island jeans trousers
patched with every kind of heavy
goods from horse blankets to rem
nants of rag carpet-when, / say, any
human neither limbs are incarcerated
in these bendless tubular garments in
wheat field on a southwest hillside at
two o'clock on a clear, still day when
the temperature is ITO in the shade
and there is no shade, the owner of
said legs thinks longingly of the bas-
tile, the stocks, the pincers, the gull
lotine, the pillory, the thumb-screw,
the rack, the stake and other religious
pleasantries.
1 have gone long days in the wheat
field in pair of such asbestos pants
lined with sandpaper or barbed wire,
and now death or public speaking or
| fashionable dinners-none of those
| things has any terror for me.
/ playfully inquire of death as to
| the location of it's stinger.-Farm Life.
