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. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Selene
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. It
acts directly ou the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

James Hazen Hyde and His Ideas as
to Dress.
James llnzcn Hyde of New York,
who has been condemned to a month's
Imprisonment In France and to pay a
fine of $100 in consequence of an auto
mobile accident in which he figured,
was much talked about four years ago
when life Insurance reform was upper
most In public thought. Mr. -Hyde is
an enthusiastic motorist, and the acci
dent which occasioned his sentence by
a French court to fine and Imprison
ment happened in Paris, Mr. Hyde and
JAMES Z2AZKK HIDE.
his chauffeur being charged with run
nlug Into n public taxlcab and Injuring
a passenger and then making their es
cape. Under a French law recently
passed flight after an accident Is made
a specially grave offense.
Mr. Ilyde was formerly vice presi
dent of the Equitable Life Assurance !
society, and his father, the late Henry
R. Ilyile. was the founder of the com- J
pany. James Hazen Hyde at one time j
owned a majority of the capital stock
of the company and at the time of the
Insurance Investigations was much [
criticised for his methods of operation !
In connection with syndicates formed j
by those closely associated with tho
Equitable. Mr. Hyde has been accus- |
tomed to spend money freely In the j
pursuit of his tastes as a scholar and !
a leader In the social world, and this
brought upon him the criticism of
some of his life insurance associates.
He has always been greatly devoted
to French literature and art and to
Parisian ways of living generally. For
some years he has spent most of his ;
time In Paris, and a correspondent
writing from the French capital not I
long ago In describing the fastidious- j
ness of his ideas od the subject of j
dress said:
"Mr. nyde has a valet who takes his
duties as seriously as the master of !
robes for Beau Brummel, and Ills duty
Is to see that the color scheir.e for the
day Is absolutely correct. No polish
ever touches Mr. Hyde's shoes. They I
are sblnod with plenty of elbow grease
and the application of the shlnbone of j
a deer, which Imparts to the shoes I
that dull luster so much desired by I
well dressed men.
"The valet must see that new laces ;
are put In the boots each time they are j
worn. Gloves are to be worn but ]
twice. Coats, waistcoats and trousers j
must bo pressed between every wear- j
Ing. Mr. Hyde wears French Bhoes '
with high military heels. His high hat j
Is extremely flat brimmed, with a wide ;
bombazine band, after the fashion set |
by the Duke de Moray, once the arbl- 1
ter elegantariurn of the smart world of
France. His morning coat is cut to I
come below the knees. It Is very nar- 1
row In the waist and very wide of
skirt. With his pompadour hair, his :
tall, thin figure, his exaggerated hats j
and waistcoats, his pale, thin face, his
ever present boutonnlere of violets,
orchids or carnations, young Mr. Hyde !
Is now regarded as the most remarka
ble looking American In Paris since
Theodore TUton died."

J A DOUBLE COMBINATION +
t TREASURE BOX. t
* ++++++J
By ELBERT T. BENTLEY.
[Copyright, 1V09, by American Press Asso
elation.]
"There's n letter for you In the box,
Billy," said the furiucr. "Somepln Ira- j
portuut, I reckon."
Billy Andrews, n young fnrra hand, j
threw down a pitchfork with which
he had been tossing hay on to n wag
on, went to a rural delivery box on
the noad and took out a letter. The ;
printing referred to was the firm name
and address of Cleaver, Cuttle &
Crane, attorneys at law. The letter
stated that William Hendersou, Billy's
uncle, had died and before his death
had executed an instrument giving Ills
nephew, who had been named for him, |
a farm worth $10,000. The deed was
deposited in a safety deposit compa- j
ny's vault In the city. The key to the
box was at tho attorneys' olfico, and
Billy could have It by calling for It the
next day at 3 p. m.
Obtaining leave to go to the city at |
the appointed time, Billy put on his
store suit, took a train and in an hour ,
was In the office of Cleaver, Cuttle & I
Crane. Mr. Crane received him and
read him tho document by which the
farm was conveyed. It was a very
singular paper. The . box at the de
posit company was one usually rented j
to business partners. It had a double
combination lock, one-half of the com
bination being known to one partner
and the other half to the other, so
that It could only be opened when
both were present Mr. Henderson had
given $10,000 In bonds to another per
son, and, for the sake of economy, so
said the Instrument, had deposited the
deed and the bonds together In one of
these double combination boxes. It
was specified that either party should
go at the other's call to assist In open- j
Ing the box. Mr. Crnne had notified
the other party to be at the deposit i
company's vaults at 4 o'clock that day.
This economical arrangement was
certainly very well devised, though
Mr. Henderson had not been a money
saver, and It seemed singular that he
should so Suddenly have shown such a
disposition. Mr. Crane sent a clerk j
with Billy to the vaults, and the young j
farmer was showu Into a parlor and
asked to wait a few minutes. He
spent them wondering what the "other j
fellow" looked like? If he were a farm- i
er or a city chap. While he was con- 1
Jecturlng tho door opened and the cus
todian ushered In as pretty a country
girl of eighteen or thereabouts as Billy
had ever seen. She was Lucy Miller, j
the owner of the bonds.
"I will take you two," said the cus
todian, "to your box and show you the
process of opening it."
Opening several doors composed of
steel bars and several more of solid
metal, he took them Into a place |
where boxes were rutted In profusion, j
Turning a key is the lock of their box, '
the custodian o;^ened a small, thick
door and exposed a knob. He gave
Billy a series of numbers and showed
him how to turn the knob. Then he |
supplied Miss Miller with similar in
formation. The Joint owners of the j
box were occupied casting sly glances
at each other, and It required several i
lessons to euable them to get at their
respective treasures. When the box
was finally opened each took a look at 1
the contents. They expressed them- j
selves satisfied, exchanged addresses
and departed.
In a couple of days Lucy Miller re- j
celved a note from Billy saying the
whole matter had been such a surprise I
to him that he had not even thought
to notice the location of his farm.
Would she mind meeting him ngaln at j
an appointed time? Of course she con
sented?she was obliged to consent ? |
and four days after the first openlug
there was a second one. Then Lucy
wrote that some one had asked her If
her bonds were "registered" or "cou
pou," aud she didn't know. She would ;
like him to help her unlock the box.
During the second week of the joint I
ownership the box was opened four j
times. On the fourth Billy told the
custodian that he needn't trouble him
self to come with them to the box
since they now understood the opening
process jmrfectly. The custodian smiled
and reminded Billy that he had cer
tain unlocking to do himself. When
they left the office Billy looked wist
fully at a leather covered sofa in the !
parlor, wishing he aud Lucy could sit j
there awhile together, but the deposit ,
company was n place of business and
nothing else. However, when Lucy
wished to cut her coupons Billy was
permitted to go Into a little 4 by 0
compartment with her while she did
the clipping.
Billy wished to take possession of
his farm, but had no money for live
stock or farming Implements. This
suggested Lucy's bonds. He couldn t
steal them If he wanted to, which he
didn't, for both Lucy and the custo
dian were present when they were
open to him. Besides, what would he
do on the farm alone? ne wouldn't
think of running it without woman's
help.
One day Billy got a note from the
manager of the deposit company that
the partnership box had been rented
for only three months and the term
was ^rout to expire. Billy and Lucy
<n\a hot have it for another term
for the reason that their visits to their
box were so frequent that It took up
too much of the custodian's time.
On receipt of this letter Billy went
to the address Lucy Miller had given
him, and before he left her they were
married and went to live on Billy's
farm.
"What a slick feller ole Bill Hender
son was!" said a neighbor. "How he
did play It on them two chicks he
wanted to bring together!"
