There Is more Catarrh In this sec
tlon of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. Kor a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stautly failing to cure with local treat- ?
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scienc
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. U
act-s directly on the blood and inucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
oue hundred dollars for any case it
falls to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through tbc kidneys once ev? ry throe
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work nigt and day. When
healthy they remove about .*?"(? grains
of impure matter daily, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
t< r is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot. dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
I t aring, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
ir the urine, etc. l'-ut if you keep the
fillers right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
\V. A. Hawkins, Yesler Way.
Seattle, Wash., says: "it gives iue
pleasure to confirm the statement I
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief 1 obtained from their use
has proven permanent. 1 suffered '
from an acute attack of kidney trou
lle and though 1 used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
1 had the most severe pains across
the small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Moan's Kidney
Tills helped me at once and continue
use entirely relieved me. I am a |
great advocate of Doan's Kidney I "ills
and have recommended them on
many occasions."

There Is a part -f the present City ,
null park in New Orleans which was
formerly called the Oaks and was a
famous duellug ground. Lying on the
noted shell road to Lake routchartraln.
not far from the city, yet deserted It
a flfonlcd a eonvenlent spot for the du
els so frequent among the Creoles.
Often when two rivals wished to |
conceal the cause of their quarrel ti e
would invent reasons, usually al.su 1.
For Instance, one would declare that
the other's hair was red when It ?
raven Mack or that the sun revohed
around the earth Instead of vice versa.
It was during a winter somewhere
about 1S30 that Miss Caroline Dick In- j
son. visiting her aunt. Mme. I-a lour.
In New Orleans, took the place soc - j
Iv bv storm. Though btoiutlfu .
character, set. s? to speak. In her
charming manners, won the hear s
luanv of the young Woods of
Crescent City. Among them were
(Jaston L'llouiuiedieu, recently from |
Puis and Eliot Whit ford, whose ra
ther had originally P>no there from
Virginia. Neither could feel ??>' f1"'"" !
dcnce In having secured the ?
vor but each was Jealous of the otlur. |
The truth was that Miss Dlckluson
preferred Mr. Whltford. I
One morning about 2 o clock Mme.
La Tour entered her niece's bedroom.
Thev had been to sotne entertainment,
had'sat up late talking It over and I .ul
ft few minutes before parted fi
night. Miss IMcklnson had begun to j
disrobe.
-Mv dear." said her aunt, "your un
cle lias Just come In from the clubj
with some news which may ' ,n^.r".9
vou. M. L'llommedleu and M. ?? "ii
ford are going to meet at 1 o'clock
dawn-at the Oaks, and you are the ,
cause of the meeting."
? The news does Interest me. re- 1
piled the girl, with dismay. "Suppose <
one of them should be killed!'
??It would facilitate your making a
choice between them." replied her j
aunt. , |
"They shall not tight on tuj ac
count."* replied Miss Dickinson. "I'm
going on to the ground to stop them.
"Alone?" ?
"No. aunt: you are going with me.
An hour later a caleche driven by ,
Mine I.a Tour, containing the two wo
men was speeding along the shell road. |
The moon, which was three-quarters |
full, rendered the road less difficult to
f >tl low at ni-rht. though, being white, j
i; w;>s distinguishable at any time. ,
.lust as a faint streak appeared In the
ca<t the calc-he entered the Oaks and
pulled up near what had often been j
pointed out to Mme. La Tour as the
dueling ground. Presently a carriage
rolled ?ii? t.? the historic spot, followed
by another, and by the early twilight
two parties of men were seen confer- 1
ring as to the placing of the principals ;
In the coming light.
"Who's the man with the box under j
bis arm':" asked MM Dickinson.
??pr. Jules Kubldoux. He is always
called upon on such occasions."
"Heavens! IIow horrible! What ,
abominable customs you have here!
And the man with the bundle of
sticks? who is he':"
"Those are not sticks; they are ra
piers. See. the principals are taking
position."
The I wo women silitrhtoil and walked
cautiously toward the duelists. Tlie
oaks still east sufficient shadow to
conceal their advance. Suddenly as
there was a clash of steel Miss Dick
inson. walking In advance of her aunt,
appeared on the scene. Both contest
ants lowered the points of their ra
piers and stood looking at her with as
tonishment.
"Gentlemen." she said, "may I ask
the occasion of this meet Ins?"
There was no reply for a time: then
one of t!ie seconds stepped forward
and. bowing profoundly, said:
"M. r.'IIommedieu. mademoiselle, has
asserted that the Seine Is larger than
the Mississippi. This M. Whitford con
sidered an insult to our noble river
and replied that the Bayou Lafourche
is larger than the Seine. Thereupon
M. I.'IIommedleu In defense of la belle
roviere of France challenged M. Whit- j
ford."
"I am astonished." said Miss Dickin
son, "that two gentlemen should quar- j
rel about such an absurdity. Of
course the Seine Is not larger than the
Mississippi."
"Mademoiselle." said L'Hommedieu,
"I accept your decision. If you also
decide that the Bayou I.afourche is
larger than the Seine, I will apologize ;
to M. Whitford."
"And if I decide that the Seine Is
larger than the bayou?"
"That, mademoiselle, 1 should con
sider a great blessing."
"And this affair will cease?"
"That Is for M. Whitford to say."
"And how would you decide that?"
asked tin* lady, turning to Whitford.
"How would I decide that? Why, I i
should then feel obliged to enforce my j
opinion in favor of the bayou at the |
poiut of the sword."
"Nonsense!"
The two men. as if by mutual con
sent, raised their swords for the pur
pose of renewing the contest
"One moment." said Miss Dickinson.
"Cannot you gentlemen be Induced to
forego this encounter without my de- ;
ciding the point of dispute?"
"No." replied both at once.
"Well, then," she said In an almost
inaudible voice, "the bayou is larger
than the Seine."
M. I.'IIommedleu made a graceful I
apology to Mr. Whitford. and the same
May the engagement of the latter with
Miss Dickinson was announced.

"My brother had eczema three dif- ;

each summer it carno out between his !
shoulders and down his back, and tie said
his suffering was terrible. H?? used dif
ferent kinds of medicines that were said
to be good for that disease, but nothing
M 'fined to do him much good. When it
came on the third summer, h<> bought a
box of Cuticura Ointment and gavo it
a fait lifi.il trial. Soon he began to feel
better and ho cured himself entirely
with Cuticura and has m-ver been
bothered with eczema since. He also
used Cuticura to cure a hunch over his j
eve and a terrible corn which was so bad
that he could not wear his shoe. A
lady In Indiana heard of how my daugh- 1
ter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son
of terriblo eczema by tho Cuticura
Remedies. This lady's littlo one had
the eczema so badly that thoy thought I
they would lose it. She used Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment and it
cured her child entirely, and tho disease
never came back. Mrs. Sarah E. Lusk,
