Helen Worden, well-known newspa-

Arnold. Whether the animal was
named for Benedict Arnold or Arnold
Daily, do not know, but at any rate
1t is q highly favored cat, which has
long been treated like king by mem
bers OF the Worden family, which for
merly resided on West SiXty-seventh
street. Another resident of that street
was and is William Beebe, the famous
naturalist and fish man. Arnold, ike
other kings, grew tired of the cream
and trapping of royalty and used to try
to get away from it all. His method
of egress was by the window. After
some time spent in seeing life mcog-
nitO, he would return in the same man.
ner he had left. Now Sixty-seventh is
a peculiar street. On the long block
which runs west from Central park
are some of the most attractive apart
ments in the city. Also in that block
is one of the city's few remaining
blacksmith shops and also lumber
yard and paint shop. In his wander
ings, Arnold must have visited the lat
ter because, on one occasion, he re-
tuned covered with light gray paint.
Now, Arnold, in his natural state, is
a black cat. When, therefore, men,

at such treatment and at not being
recognized in his own domain, Arnold
departed and was not seen for three
days. BY this time some of the paint
had worn off.
Being treated royalty, Arnold was
scarcely to blame for getting the idea
that anything he desired was his right
of birth. 1t happened that Mr.. Beebe,
either on his trips to the Galapagos is
lends, his descents to the bottom of the
sea or on some of his other wander
ings, had collected a number of rare
fish with weird eyes, fins and tails.
These he had in small aquariums In
his apartment. In highly mysterious
manner, these fish began to disappear.
The story goes that one day Mr.. Beebe
happened to see Arnold put a paw in
his mouth and dislodge a fish bone
from his throat. There was a bit Of
controversy over the matter, which
may be one reason that Arnold and the
Wordens moved to Park avenue.

WHY IS 1T "BOULEVARD"?

THE English word "boulevard''
i which we know to be practically
synonymous with "avenue" is a cor
ruption of the German "Bollwerk'
which is cognate of our "bulwark, -
and originally indicated the site of an
cient Notifications.
A story in a nutshell-but what,
you may reasonably inquire, have for
tifications to with "avenue?' Therein
lies the story Of the age-long press of
humans to escape their contines-the
eternal struggle for elbow-room.
Most ancient Notifications took the
form of a wall which encircled the
city. AS the population grew, the
overflow settled beyond the walls,
which had to be removed, leaving a
lane through crowded quarter, this
lane subsequently being known as a
boulevard-corruption of "bollwerk" or
foundation.

How To Relieve
Head Noises
Good Advice For Those Who
Fear Deafness

Catarrh sufferers who are grow
ing hard of hearing, should take
warning from that stuffy feeling of
pressure against the ear drums,
those buzzing rumbling head noises,
like steam escaping, and take
prompt, effective measures to stop
this trouble. Head noises due to
catarrh are almost always the fore
runners of deafness and most deaf
folks suffer from them constantly
Often the neVer-ending, nerve
racking hum" drives the sufferer
almost frantic and may result in
nervous breakdown.
Thanks TO remarkable medicine.
it is now possible TO lessen these
head noises and often completely
overcome them, and with their dis
appearance the hearing also great
ly improves, and frequently can be
restored TO normal. From Clements
or your druggist secure a / OF. bottle
Of Parmint Double Strength, take
this home and add to it 4 pint Of
hot water and a little sugar. Take
one tablespoonful four times a day.
Parmint is used this way to reduce
by tonic action the inflammation
and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, and also to
correct any excess secretions in the
middle ear. Parmint usually gives
quick, effective results.
Every catarrh sufferer should
give Parmint a trial. adv.

couple OF days, according to Hol-
combs report, with the glasses
rolled up and the doors locked.
The back cushion was raised as
though something large and bulky
was concealed under it. Flies
buzzed around the machine.
Two men had been seen TO drive
there in the car, and only one
had been seen to leave, Holcomb
