OATARRH
W IN CHILDREN
For over two years my little girl's life
was made miserable by a case of Catarrh.
The discharge from the nose was large,
constant and very offensive. Her eyes
became inflamed, the lids swollen and
very painful. After trying various reme-
dies, 1 gave herif. Ml The first bot-
tle seemed to |§3Eg JJ aggravate the
disease, but the symptoms soon abated,
and in a short time she was cured.

AN EXCITIIIO MOMENT ON AN
OLD SOUTHERN ROAD.
Th« Knginn Couldn't Do Much Hut 81,0
Wm I.et Out to Her Full I.iinit and
Kvru H Tie on tlie TrHi-k C'ntlUlu'l Stop
%1m> Train —A Thrilling Kids.
•fljwakin' ot tho I.uko Shore rob-
bery, did I ev< r toll you ubout tho
{,'atijj that used to hold up trains on tho
YV. (J. A.?" queried tho engineer, as
ho wiped his hands upon a bunch of
wasto and cat down on a log beside
the fireman and conductor while the
train waited on. tho siding for No. 8
to pass.
"You never did. Hill. "Let's hear
about'em," said tho conductor, help-
ing himself to r, generous chow of
tho fireman's plug.
"It was back in tho seventies. I
was runnin' an engine between Char-
lotto, N. ('., and Charleston, pullin'
tho one passenger train which then
run eaek day. Although tho distance
is only about lOOinilos, it took near.'/
twelve hours to mako tho trip. Jack
Kobinson run the other engine which
pulled tho up train while we wore go-
ing down and vice versa. We used to
pass about half way down, and as
there was no telegraph lino along
tho road, tho standin' rule was that
ono train must wait till tho other
came alorg, except that after two
hours, in easo tho opposin' train did
not appear, the first ono could go
ahead with a flagman in front.
"Ono night wo waited up to tho
limit, and was jest about pullin' out
to run tho chances when wo hoard
old No. It whistle. When she reached
us sho stopped, and a worse seared
lot of folks you never saw. They said
a dozen road agents had hold 'em up
about ton miles below and took every
cont on board, inc'udin' the money
I'.i tho express car. What was worse,
they evidently intended waitin' for
tho down train and givin' us a doso
Of the saiuo medicine.
Wo only had livo passengors on
board, and threo of 'em were poor
white trash that didn't have a shil-
1 in' between 'em. To the i' man was a
liro-eatin' Texan and when ho
smelled fight he jumped up, knocked
his heels together and crowed. Then
there was ono young woman from
Atlanta, whom wo tried to persuade
to go back on tho other train to
Charleston, but sho wouldn't have it
that way. Said she guessed if wo
could stand it she could, and at the
worst sho hadn't anything to lose,
provided tho conductor would hide
her ticket for her. She wasg it clean
through, and we were proud of her
compared to the shaky lot 011 No. 3.
'•The expross messenger got out
his two Winchesters and put 'em in
order; then he and the biiggago
master got into his car, barricaded
th6 doors and windows and bored a
couple of holes in iho sides with a
two-inch auger from the tool chest.
We piled cushions from tho seats on
tho floor of tho one passenger coach,
and got tho young woman where
there wasn't much danger of stray
bullets, and then, with the brake-
men and conductor at tho forward
end of tho coach and tho Texan at
the rear, wo pulled out, after puttin'
out all lamps, includin' the headlight,
so as to bewilder tho chaps. Me and
Poto, tho fireman, hud our horso
pistols layin' beside us, but it hap-
pened we had no occasion to use 'em.
••In them days all tho engines
burned wood and most of the locomo-
tives were rattle-traps patched up
after tlie war. I know it was impos-
sible to get more than twenty miles
an hour out of her that night, but I
savod steam and l'eto piled on tho
pitch pine until sho was just about
rod hot and bilin' over when we
reached the turn beyond which we
expected to meet tho robbers.
••Then 1 let her out, and tho old
teapot gave a jump that shook the
false teeth out of tho mouth of ono
of the Georgia crackers in tho coach.
Wo hadn't more than got around tho
bond when a red lamp was waved
across the track about half a milo
ahead. -There they are, l'oto,1 I
yelled, at the same time blowing for
brakes, just as if 1 intended to stop,
but we had agreed before we started
that when I blowod that way it
meant there was fun aiiead.
"We camo down tho track lickity
split, and 1 saw at least twenty men
with guns standin' at ono side waitin'
for us to stop. When wo wero about
a hundred yards off the gang realized
we didn't intend to linger, and they
commenced to shoot. Zip, zip, zip. tho
balls went through the cab. Then
wo heard our people behind reply in'.
••Just as wo wero cougratulatin'
ourselves we wore safe, I saw a tie
ahead on tho track, put thoro by the
villains to wreck us. I thought it
was all up sure then, but tho pilot
struck the tio sort of sideways
knocked it into the middle of next
week, and we lcitod down tho road,
losuvin' the maddest lot of road
agents behind you over saw.
"But tho old engine got her crown
sheet burned that night and had to
go to shop for a month." he added
clambering into tho cab as tho dis-
tant whistle of No. 8 came floating
up frotu bjlovv.

A ffoo l, practical meaning of worl<
floe Is given by H. Fay Mills in th«
story of a little girl, who, while away
from home on a yisit, declined to take
the dessert one day at dinner.
"Well, Dolly, you'll take a piecq of
pie?"
"No, ma'am." said Dolly, "my mam-
ma doesn't want me to eat pic."
Well, how grand we thought it was
that a little fi-year-olil girl away from
home should do just ns her mamma
wanted her to do!
Hut the next day we had a different
kind of pie. The hostess said;
"1 believe you don't take pie, Dolly?"
"Why, yes. ma'am, I'll take a piece
of pie." said the girl hesitatingly.
"Why, Dolly," said her aunt, "I
thought your mamma didn't want you
to eat pie."
"Well, I didn't like that kind of pie,"
the girl said.

Powder willows is the name in
northern Delaware for those pollard

Wilmington is lined with these trees.

Thy Vnell is ringing, lo, thy keeper waits!
And from thy carnival beside the lake
Thou comest century crowned, while in thy
wake,
As wisdom opens wide Truth's sturdy gates.
Come forth proud Beauty's pale aud slender
Fates
To follow thy unsteady steps, and bring
Tho wine of wonder, that, thou boastful sing,
In careless glee, the Progress of the States!
Hut dost thou bring a blesting from yon child,
That, at its mother's knee, now lisps the name
Of him, who for but half a loaf, had spent
A life in toil, and in despair, grows wild
To link his failure to a felon's shame,
Aud curses long the load of government.

Philadelphia Record: Kissing an un-

decided by the court of appeals of Hol-
land to be 110 offense. "To kiss a per-
son," say the learned justices, "cannot
be an offense as it is in the nature of a
warm mark of sympathy." It is no
wonder that the authorities of Holland
should be expecting a large male im-

In Olden Times
People overlooked the importance
of permanently beneficial effects and
were satisfied with transient action;
but now that it is generally known
that Syrup of Figs will permanently
cure habitual constipation, well-in-
formed people will not buy other laxa-
tives, which act for a time, but finally
injure the system.
A Comparison.
Tagliclie Rundschau: Swell of the
period—"Oh, doctor, I have sent for
you certain 1 y, but I must confess that
1 have not the slightest faith in mod-
ern medical science."
Doctor—"Oil, that doesn't matter in
the least. You see. a mule has no faith
in the veterinary surgeon, and yet lie
cures him all same."
Spangles and 1. .res.
As regards trimmings, spangles will
be all the vogue for evening dresses
this winter. Among charming French
things the prettiest garnitures for
bodices are frills of black net embroi-
dered with steel, jet, silver or gold
sequins. Net flouncing with drop
spangles is an effective material for
dance dresses. Gold and jet spangle
trimmings, about an ir.ch in width,
are much worn on tea and evening
gowns. Of waist ornaments there is a
capital variety. A pretty belt consists
of several rows of jet beads threaded
on elastic. Tlie Ity/antine, mosaic,
steel and paste buckles for bonnets or
belts are very pretty. In the way of
trimmings for day dresses narrow
braids are the thing.
Coarse, mellow laces arc more affect-
ed than any other kind just now.
They are very becoming a d more eco-
nomical than the delicate laces.
Suspended Payment.
The Green ltag: The bullying man-
ner sometimes assumed by certain bar-
risters in cross-examination, in order
to confuse a witness and make his re-
plies to important questions hesitating
and contradictory, is notorious. Many
are the tales told of "cute" witnesses
who have turned the tables on their
persecutors. The following relates to
a case of this kind:
In a civil action in money matters
the plaintiff had stated that his finan-
cial position was always satisfactory.
In cross-examination lie was asked if
he had ever been bankrupt.
"No," was the answer.
Next question was: "Now. be care-
ful; did you ever stop payment?"
"Yes," was the reply.
"Ah," exclaimed the counsel. "1
thought we should get you at last.
When did that happen?"
"After I paid all 1 owed," was the
answer.
Nil Great Feat. •
New York Press: "These porters
that work around wholesale stores anj
lniirhtv strong men."
"Think so?"
"Yes. I saw one raise a barrel A
flour just now with the greatest ea-sli
and place it in a wagon."
"IINn! That's no great feat."
"It aiu't?"
"No; that's self-raising flour."
