' ' : ' ' A, Combination of Herbs, Smoked In a Pipe, Cures Catarrh of Head, Nose and Throat SAMPLES MAILED FREE. Contains No Tobacco and Is Pleasant ... " and Easy to Use. The fact that the smoking of tobac co is Injurious to the health is no ar gument against the use of Dr. Blosser's Catorrn Cure in a pipe, or In the form ot cigarettes, as this remouy contains ao tobacco or any Injurious drug. The effect ot a remedy applied direct ly to the diseased part. Is much bet ter than the uncertain action ot medi cines taken Into the stomach. This la the philosophy, profound as it is simple, of the treatment of catarrh with Dr. Blosser's Catarrh Cure. It is the only known remedy that can penetrate the recesses of the head, throat and lungs. No liquid remedy can do thin. No spray that ever was devised surely no "constitutional" nostrum taken into the stomach can reach the inflamed surfaces and cloanee, soothe and heal them as this modtcated smoke-vapor docs. In order to demonstrate Its merits, a three days' trial treatment will be sent, absolutely free, to any sufferer. Address, Dv.

"This querftlon of courage or brav ery," said Colonel Rumford, "is as complex as it is Interesting. : Pride Is responsible for many displays of gal lantry; stupidity, I feel Sure, accounts for many a sullen defence; and I've Always noticed Chat the men most ner vous and excited before going into battle become seized with a sort of ecstasy in combat that is pretty suro in time, to' make heroes of them. Lieutenant Kingdon was, however, a different kind of man. He . was not very vain, far from stupid, always cool, whether before., during or after a fight a perfect type, I think, of the Ameri can officer risen from the ranks. "He was acting adjutant of my regi ment when we -went down below the Bagbag "hating been just transferred from the Vnth. ; I must toll you that we ''-Jiad! fooled on that excurp' vfifiplnos made no sh""" ftor.. we wore ... .h '(.,l J,, Hm.ua eveu turned back toward our base. to make a three-day halt at going; down, and there we got friendly with Major EffinKham.anEug lishman who had the bout house in the. town and lived In It with his wife, hi daughter and a nephew,, who about 14 years old. Lieutenant King don, who was, a great fellow for the girl, got a good deal ot chaffing from ill at ns about a pretty little brown sweetheart he picked up at Arroyo, and more than once at Effingham's wo drank to the health of the girl "Zu Zu," as wj had nicknamed her, King don took it all good-naturedly, nnd 1 dont think he ever' had a serious thought about her. ; "But coming back, as I told you, we had an ugly time. A mob of pretty well-armed Tagals had got In between ns and were making one of their cele brated bluffs jtt real warfare,. They did rouse all the natives, even the rascals who bad sworn themselves 'Amlgo' about two weeks before, and we got at least an excuse of a fight at every village we camo to, We hadn't enough men to leave a garri son any- place, and the best we could do was to drive off the natives as fast as We met them; In this way we got back to Arroyo wondering how the Efflngbams liked their surroundings, and pretty sure that we'd get the best fight ot the expedition right there. We weren't mistaken, either, for the ras cals had rallied In force, dug tip some breastworks and were occupying thoso we had made during our temporary visit. We weren't strong enough to sweep them off the map, our ammuni tion was running low, and, to tell the truth,'! began to suspect that at last I was in fpr a taste of sure enough war. We went to work a bit cautious ly, therefore, and fought our way clos er, for two days before we realised that our only hope lay In a 'coup de main,' as Effingham persisted in say ing. ' It was on the third day that we. got the only genuine response to our advance, and then a very ugly thing happened. The hottest firing came from an old thatched shack, and three or four of our fellows were dropped before we knew It. Kingdon got tired at last, and, thinking that he saw a hu man target through a hole hi the thatch, he borrowed a rifle and emp tied a dtp at the opening. Whether his shooting he certainly was a crack' torjack scared the garrison I don't know, but when we cleaned out that shack there' were seven dead Filipinos, besides a woman 'Zu-Zu!' "I think that must have hurt poor Kingdon, for he didn't act like himself after that; seemed to believe that be had killed her, and began to mope a bit Ho looked after her burial, too, and then seemed to liven up again! We found Major Effingham all right, and right glad he was U welcome us, for he'd made up his mind to clear out for- civilization till the province was finally pacified. We hod been sitting op quite late the night before we were to resume the march major was a great hand for cold punch and, somehow, we got talking about ghosts, superstitions and some of the superna tural things In which the natives firm ly believed. It was past midnight and. awe had jturoyo the tropical moon was just setting, Whea Miss Effingham, looking out the window at a dismal little church set In the midst of a graveyard actpsa the road, said: 'Mr. Kingdon, you may not believe in ghosts, but I daresay you wouldn't-like now to go across Into that deserted church and' fetch me, say, a candle or a bunch of those flow ers from Its altar. I'd like to carry oft a small memento of Arroyo and of of your courage.' . "Kingdon laughed merrily for the first time since be burled iJu-Zu, and started for the church.. Except the Effinghas the whole town was empty, for our men wore strong In a belt of entries all around the village, and the guard waa at the 'lower end. So we laughed as we watched Kingdon run across the road, leap the low fence and disappear Into the gloomy doorway of the church. Wo expected him hack within 10 mlnutoa, but got to chatting. In 20 minutes ha had not returned. In half an hour Miss llffiuRlmm went tOthe floor and liat wed. No sound bit the far-off cry of the sentries and the orcaslonal howl of a dog broke the stillness. Then I became worried, summoned my order ly, who brought lanterns, and, with SUJor K'fin;;luun, followed Kingdon's route Into the church. "We found him r.n e downward, v i-ii hi hnd tow.nd Cm ,'nnr, Ju- f : : t: f ' t (if t'. I':!:,. : ; t ! ! . t'.. ,k -p! ..y (' n ).- t , , :..!.

"-Well, a battalion of the Thirty-fifth came to relieve us about daylight, and we made a forced, march to headquar ters, carrying Lieut Kingdon's body with us. Our surgeon was determined on on autopsy, and I must say that it seemed a netessary procedure under the circumstances. I had a secret belief that some 'Filipino, skulking in the empty church, had in aome way, by poisoned knife or the ptlck ot an envenomed pin killed Kingdon. An examination of the body, however, thowed that-there was not a scratch, not the least abra sion of any king, but there was a fresh lent in the lieutenant's Mouse, just near the hip seam on the left side. "He would have died suddenly within a month probably,' our surgeon assured me, for he bad an Scute affection ot (he heart! That tear in his blouse must have been made by a nall.v :--. 'We went back to Arroyo and to the church," concluded Colonel Rumford, "and sure enough, In the pillar of the sanctuary railing, jagged, protruding noil with some threads from Kingdon's blouse explained the rent garment In hurrying down the steps with Miss Ef fingham's mementos, a sudden tug at his blouse, coming out of the darkness, as by some ghostly hand, had fright ened poor Kingdon for the first time in his life and the last" Chicago Record-Herald. . HOW TIME 18 MADE. Uncle Sam Regulates His Clocks by One of the. Fixed Stars. Strange as It may seem Uncle Sam does not make uso of the sun tor reckoning time, but he turns his attention' to some , of the" regular. steady going stars, or "fixed stars," as they are called. Every clear night a? astronomeV with a 'big telescope looks at certain "of these stars and makes his calculation from which he can tell just when the sun would cross the 75th meridian. One ot the. CTeat ' clocks ia tie observatory is the transmitter, ..because It sends out the signal that ndara4imi. This clock is egttlated tSl the star-time. and thenWery day atVsb minutes and fifteorh seconds beforetivelve a switch ls'ned on and the bcSrsal of the pendulfoi 0f this clock are se by electricity over the wires to the .telcgrapluibfflces in Washington and New lorS. When the telegraph op erators hear this sound on their Instru ments (hey know that' the noon sig nal Is about to bo. sent out and they at once begin to connect the telegraph wires, with other towns and cities, un til in a minute or two the "tick, ' of the clock at Washington is heard In hundreds of telegraph offices. The beats stop at 10 seconds before 12 as a notice that the next "tick! will be the noon signal, and So as to give tfie operators time to connect their wlros with the standard 1 time balls and clocks. There are time balls' In a great many cities usually On top of some prominent building, where they can easily be seen. The one at Washing ton is on the roof of the state, war and navy department building, at the top ot a high pole, ready to drop the In stant the signal comes over- the wire. In the government offices at Washing ton and In many places in other cities there are large clocks connected with the observatory by electricity. These are so arranged that when the 12 o'clock signal Is flashed ovor the wires the hands of each one ot these clocks sptlng to 12, no matter what time the clock may show; In this way hundreds of clocks are set to the correct time each day.,:,'. s..: -',.- : ii, ' Well, the moment the sun is sup posed to cross the 75th meridian, the telegraph instruments give a single tick, the time balls drop, the clocks begin to strike, and everybody in the district knows It Is 12 o'clock.

DUCK3 FROZEN IN A POND, ' Man In a Restaurant Tells His Friend . a Wonderful Tale. ' "Every time It gets cold I want to get out on the prairie and' hunt clucks," said a man to friend in a down town restaurant last Sunday, when the mercury danced about zero. "I went duck hunting once and made a repu tation for myself that time, and for the last ten years I've wanted to re peat my old trip. "I was visiting down in the corn belt one December. The ducks that year flew across the prairies by the millions. Of course, most ot them had gone further south by that season of the year, but hundreds ot them still remained. The prairies In those days were dotted with small ponds, and there was ne end to the shooting sea son. ' .':: ' "I had been huutlng several days that December, and bod not made much ot a reputation for myself. I tagged a few teals and an occasional spike-UH,' and at intervals I would bring down a bigger one. Well, one morning I awoke and it wns as cold $ Greenland. I thought ft would be use less to look for winged game that day, but I wanted to do a little rabbit shooting. I got np and before break fast started out along the hedges and found a couple of cotton tails. I sup pose I had walked about a mile from the house when I heard a strange noise out in one of the fields. "I walked in that direction and soon aw about a quarter of a mile away a .cod-sized pond. I knew the racket came from there, and I got over as fust as my legs could carry me. If I live to be 500 years old I'll never tor get tho'' looks of that pond. It had frozen over during the night and' hun dreds of ducks were Imprisoned by the sheet ot Ice. When they tried to' fly as I came upon them the Ice held their legs fast A few of them did get away, but I got most of them. I didn't Are a shot. , I just walked out and! clubbed' the birds to death. I could hardly step without crushing a duck, When I got tired ot clubbing them 1 began pulling off their heads, and af ter working for more than an hour i had a pile of game that -would fill a )lg dump cart -, ' '. " ; I "It was the greatest hunt I ever had. and I don't believe there is a man in the State that ever bagged more game in one day. 1 never counted the birds, but I think $00 would be a very fe estimate of the number I killed. ut those days have passed. The pondsyiave been drained, and the prartrie ETtaUej who can now bag halt a dosen ducks rat an all day hunt con. .iders himself prebfjr lucky." Chicago Inter-Ocean. A Vegetable Chair.
