There is more Catarrh in this section 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 it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s patarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally bn doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

A CARD.

I notice in a recent issue of tne Rensselaer Republican that Gov. Hanly is “hnding hard on Tom Taggart’s infernal gambling dens at West Baden and French Lick.” Now, why will people and papers, for political effect, misrepresent facts? Tom Taggart has no mare to do with West Baden than the editor of the Republican. West Baden is a republican affair, through and through. When the new buildings there (after the fire)’ were dedicated, when the gambling dens were opened, the orators for the occasion were ex-Gov. Durbin and Vice-Pres. Fairbanks. It is enough for the National Chairman to be proprietor of one gambling den (?)—he has sins enough of his own, without the saddling of those of West Baden upon him. We hope Gov. Hanly will not “light on” Tom Taggart, because he is chairman of the Democratic National Committee, but because he is a gambler; and we also hope he will not shield West Baden because it is a republican institution.

Lost—One Can of Bait. / Nineteen years ago coming next Saturday morning, I left a can of bait in a crevice “back yonder” at Stony Point. Stony Point is “where the big fish grow." I would like to go back there to-morrow and see if that can of bait is still there. I remember distinctly what fine bait it was—long luscious angleworms, as fat as pug dogs. I dug them with a spading fork out back of our barn, and Harry Nichols picked ’em up. We fed the worms cornmeal for a week, and Gee Whilikens! but they were big ones! The most epicurean of fishes could not spurn such tempting morsels. * Oh, our spirits were high that morning as we scampered along the winding river bank, scooted under the “bob-wire” fence, raced across the pasture, climbed Ready’s hill and swooped cautiously down upon “the hole.” Abd then—just as I got a bite, an awful cyclone cloud came up in the southwest and we hid the bait and lit out for home, racing against Boreas and Vulcan and Dowle, and all the combined elements of trouble in the universe, half scared to death. And I never went back after that bait!

But I haven’t forgotten it. Like the long beloved but neglected distant relative, it has been kept green In my memory despite my silence. Now in the smoke and heat of the city, with the soot from the factories stealing into my sanctum window and lighting on the goldfen hair of my blonde stenographer. and smudging the nose of my city-bred office boy, I am sitting here at my typeyrrfter thumping the keys; and as I thump I see in my mind’s eye a picture of that bait-can snuggled close to a box-elder root in a Assure of the rock at old “Stony Point." All about is greenery and the singing of birds, the scent of the wild Aowers and the promise of June! By Jlmminee, I’d just like to go out there to-mor—no, to-night and see If I could And that bait! Literary. “The Right of Way”—An engaged young woman’s waist. A ranchman was amazed at seeing linotype machine at work. It was the Arst in New Mexico, and the ranchman. after gazing at it for awhile, said: "Great Scott! Ain’t that the most intelligent machine you ever saw? Why, it’s plvmb human.” Finally, overcome by his admiration, he took off his hat. made, a low bow to the complicated mechanism, and said: "I surely would admire, Mr. Machine, if you-all would come out and take a< drink with me.”
