Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is local disease, greatly in
fuenced by constitutional conditions,
and in order to cure it you must take
an internal remedy. Halls Catarrh
Medicine is taken internally and acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system. Halls Catarrh
Medicine was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for
years. 1t is composed of some of the
best tonics known, combined with some
of the best blood purifiers. The per-
feet combination of the ingredients in
Halls Catarrh Medicine is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in ca
tarrhal conditions. Send for testi-

me to pick up anything from the floor
and 1 was bothered great deal with

Only Once a Year.

But how seldom Christmas comes
only once year; and how soon it is
over-a day and night If that is
the whole of 1t, 1t seems not much
more durable than the little toys one
buys of faker on the street corner.
But surely that need not and ought
not to be the whole of Christmas; only
a single day of generosity, ransomed
from the dull servitude of selfish
year. If every gift is a token of per-
sonal thought, friendly feeling, and
unselfish interest in the joy of others,
then the thought the feeling, the in
terest, may remain after the gift is
made.-Henry van Dyke.

SANTA CLAUS is. A FAITH
Take Kris kringle Away From Chill
dren and You Rob Christmas Of
Half Its Joys.

Some very honest people are such
sticklers for truth that they are con-
cerned about our firm belief in Santa
Claus. Well, 1t Is good thing to
stand up for truth, If we really know
the truth. But we know that great
many very learned people have been
wrangling about what truth is for sew
eral thousand years, and yet it does
not seem to be definitely settled. But
for the most of us truth is what we
truly believe. 1t is the faith that is in
US, and Santa Claus is a faith, If not
a fact, and so we say again that we do
believe in Santa Claus, says an ex-
change.
Take Santa Claus away from the
children and you rob Christmas of half
its joy. Grownup though we may be,
we would rather hang up our stocking
''the night before Christmas" and find
1t bulging full of gifts In the dim light
Christmas morning, than to have a car
load come duly tied up and labeled,
and delivered by the mailman. Who
wouldn't? There Is il lure in the mys-
terry of Santa Claus that has endeared
him to every childish heart, and so do
not take him away until you have
something better to offer.

had not thought the experiment would
bring out even that much fellowship
and good will from the silent. self-ab-

She put the prettiest bunch Of all

Mr. Benchley's plate. Poor, grouchy
old Scotchmnn. nobody ever had
good word for him. In all the months
that She had been an inmate of the
Forbes domlcile she couldn't remember
that anyone had ever given him even

grumbling, grumbled ut his food, which
Carrie. the colored maid, slid across
the table at him, grumbled at the fur
mace and weather and the mailman,
at the bonrders and Mrs. Forbes and
life in general.
But Beth liked him best of all. That
morning she had found outside her
door n box of fresh violets and a book
she had been wishing for inscribed
from her sincere friend, Alan Farley.
1t was the book more than the inscrip-
tion thnt showed the thoughts of the
giver. for 1t was named "The Well Be

she had smiled, remembering verse
that Alan liked to repeat from Mrs.

"Its only an attack of acute indiges-

The Gift Divine
BY WIN. BRADFORD DICKSON

At this fair Christmastide.
When joy bells ring out
The song OF plenty and ring in
The reign of peace throughout
This wonderful land of ours
The while across the sea
Old Mother Earth is drenched with blood
And hate and carnage reign supreme;
While sucklings wall for milk
And children faint for lack OF food;
While strong men fail beside the way
And homeless women kneel in prayer
I do not ask for gifts
OF frankincense and myrrh,
OF gold, of Ophir or OF either Ind.
OF Jewels rare or priceless merchandise.
OF marble halls or vast estates.
Nor cen the costly homage OF mankind;
But this
That may give each day full need
Unto the willing mind and heart,
OF light of Truth and warmth of Love,
OF matchless skill in comforts art
That magic all Transforming touch
Which heals the 1eper's spots
And turns to naught the wounds and
scars
Deep scared upon the heart OF man
On llfe's great battlefield;
That I may bind earth's broken hearts,
Lifting up the dropping heads
OF the oppressed and burdened ones,
That may plant within young hearts
A deeper longing for the Right
OF mercy for the hapless weak
And those who suffer daily throes
OF hunger, pain. disease, neglect;
That 1 may know forgetfulness
For daily sights and wrongs:
That / may hourly grow
In love of liberty. of friend and foe.
And all the world
May grow in love-a fruitful love
For all the beauty and true
In nature. art. the heavenly realm
And for the noble deeds of all mankind:
That I may fill the widening hours of
life
With courage, cheerfulness. and hope;
That may help my fellow man
Behold the dawn beyond the night
The gentle calm beyond the storm.
These are the gifts crave
Above the blind worlds treasure trove
OF gaud and gilt.
Who gives his better self the whole year
through
Gives life's own priceless gift to all the
world and you-the gift divine.

The sex is changeable. I've set my
heart on seeing you married before

"Oh, Mr.. Benchley, you're all right"
began Beth, hastily. but he put his
hand up warningly.
Don't shock me or alarm me, and
don't be arguing wi me, neither, for
my hearts no too strong ut that. I've
talked this out wi Alan before you
come at all, an he's beginning to see
iicht a'rendy. I've been watching both
of you this long while, and I'm sick o.
the lalligagging and waiting. You can
go quietly over the river to Jersey and
be married right away, and I'll pay the
bill. Get ready, lass"
Alan's eyes begged her to be yield
ing, but 1t was the old set face lying
back on the pillows that moved her to
act as he wished, and she slipped up
to her own room without word to any
one.

rs they came down stairs together
Beth heard a voice In the dining room,
n resoupding. hearty, strong voice, Mr..
Benchley speaking.
II had to use subterfuge wi them"
he was saying They're both obstin-
ate, but so am I, and I've married
them off safe and sound by making 1t
my dying request. An when you see
them coming in you're to gi' them a
cheer"
He stopped short. Beth came first,
blushlng and wide-eyed, with sprig
of mistletoe on her breast and anoth-
er in her fair hair. And the old fell
low wnited breathlessly till she came
near. Bending over her, he kissed her
on her cheek.
"And may God bless you both the
day." he finished.

American Hero Made
Major in U. S. Army
For VaIor in France

Washington, D. c.. May 29.-Cap-
tain Charles Sweeney. late of the
French army-"Sweeney of. the For
eign Legion"-yesterday was commits
stoned a major in the United States
army. Major Sweeney will be detail
ed to duty at the officers training
camp, Fort Myer. Va.
Major Sweeney was at West Point
from 1900 to 1908. The General Staff
strongly recommended that Sweeney,
who won distinction in the French
army, be commissioned as major, in
order that the valuable knowledge he
acquired in more than two and half
years of fighting on the western front
might be impaired to the United
States army. He has served as an in
structor in France.
A friend of Major Sweeney said
Sunday night that the latter applied
for a majorship in the army a month
ago and was growing impatient over
the delay and talking about return
ing to France. Major Sweeney re-
turned to Washington Sunday after
an absence of ten days, during which
he delivered a series of lectures on the
European war, and found yesterday
that commission was ready for him.
1t is believed probable that Major
Sweeney will be detailed to duty at
first one camp and then another.
