EASY AND SURE WAY T0 CURE COLDS Don’t Neglect a Cold, Ely’s Cream Balm Will Stop it in the Sneez- ing Stage. A cold generally attacks the weak- est part, affecting the eyes and ears in some and producing nasal catarrh and throat troubles in others. A cold is due to an inflammation of the mem- brane lining the air passages, and may be promptly cured with a little SURELY WAS CLEVER SNAKE Truthful Old Darkey Recalls an Inck dent of His Youthful Days “Foh de Wah." In some way one clever, if not ab solutely good, snake story has been passed up all these centuries and left for a white-haired darkey deacon of Brunner to bring to the colored Na- tional Baptist convention in Houston, Texas, as his offering at the “foh de meetin’” experience class. It happened “foh de wah,” accord- ing to his account, when he was enu- merated in the stock inventory on a large plantation near Houston. His duties were to accompany and take Ely’s Cream Balm, which immediate- | care of a boy about his own age, & 1y relieves the inflammation and anl the distressing symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, running at the nose and eyes, hoarseness, sore throat fever and headache. One reason why this pure, antiseptic Balm acts so quickly is because it is applied direct- Iy to the tender, sore surfaces. Even in severe ,chronic cases of ca- tarrh, Ely’s Cream Balm never fails to quickly and effectually check the poisonous discharges which clogs the head and throat, causing the disgust- ing hawking, spitting and blowing of the nose. This remedy not only driv- es out the disease, but heals and strenthens the weakened membranes, thus ending catarrh. Catarrh is a filthy, disgusting dis- ease. Don’t put up with it another day. Get a 50 cent bottle of Ely’s Cream Balm from your druggist and see how quickly you will be relieved. It is perfectly harmless.—Adv.

Da’ used to be a snake down on the bank of the bayou and we sho’ worried de life outten dat sarpint, sho’ we did. But what Ah’s gwine to tell yuh is dat sarpint knowed more’'n de books.

There frequently appears along Chestnut street a professional beggar who claims to be Henry Strang, a son of America’s only king. His tale is greeted as a huge joke, yet the story he tells is true, the only part of it concerning which there may be any doubt being his own connection with it. The kingdom he refers to was once set up on Beaver island, in northern Lake Michigan, and flourished for some years. James Jesse Strang, a prominent Mormon, had quarreled with the leaders of his church, and in 1846 withdrew with -a few followers to that island. Other Mormons joined the colony from time to time, and by the winter of 1848 they were suffi- ciently numerous to threaten control of the island. On July 8, 1850, Strang was crowned king with elaborate cers emonies. There was much contros versy between the Mormons and the other inhabitants of the island, most- ly fishermen. While on a visit to De- troit President Fillmore heard of this little kingdom within the domain of the United States. He sent an armed vessel to Beaver island, and King Strang was captured and tried for treason. He conducted his own de- fense and made such an eloquent plea that he was acquitted. In 1850 he ord. Embraced Whole Fraternity. Among the unwritten legends that float around the court rooms of Man- hattan are a dozen or more stories which have the venerable commission- er of jurors, “Judge” Thomas Allison, for a hero. His shrewdness, his sympathy and his tact are all famous. One day half a dozen men were in his office to qualify for jury duty—or to disqualify, as most of them re- garded the matter. Two young fellows who had come in together stepped up to the desk in their turn, The first gave his name, address and age, and then the commissioner asked: “Your occupation?” “Artist.” “Are you worth $250?” “No.” “You're discharged.” The other young man also gave his name, age and_address. The dialogue went: “Your occupation?” “Artist.” “You're discharged.” Not In Sight. A countryman named Street owned a runaway cow. As the season ad- vanced Street was compelled to make several long pllgrimages into the country for the reprehensible animal. On one occasion the trall led on and on until Street had entered the environs of a town where a new trol- ley system was installed. Just as the cow-hunter turned a corner in the out-skirts, the car lumbered up and the conductor called out: “Cedar Street!" The owner of the estrayed cow stopped in his tracks and bawled baclk at the man in blue and gold: “No, darn her, I ain’t seed her; an’ when I do it won’t be good fer her blamed old hide either!”—Woman’s World.

The account of the four years’ stay | of Viljalmar Stefanssen and Dr. An. derson in the Arctic regions of Amen ica, during which they made long journeys alone with nothing to de. pend upon for a living but the hospi- tality of the natives and their rifles, furnishes a new illustration of the re: markable productiveness of the far north. Persons are likely to suppose that it is the tropics which are most spontaneous in the production of food for human beings. The fact is that the contrast between equatorial and Arctic regions is not so very great in thic regard. Early explorers of the region of the upper Amazon they must carry supplies or starve to death. There is game fhere, hut it cannot be reached in the jungles, This was the experience of James Or. ton, the American traveler, and in his work on the Amazon Mb recally the fate of the mighty Pizarro, wha tried to penetrate that country, but retreated from it upon a dlet of Mz ards, dogs, saddle leather and sword belts just in time to save his life, Similar experiences are to be encoun. tered in much of tropical Africa. It is true that some tropical islands give their inhabitants a free but monoto nous living, but, then, so will the ice bound country around the mouth of the Mackenzie.
