The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be
ing a constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative p ow
ers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi

COZY HOME FOR TRAMPS.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plana a
Comfortable Refuge for
the Aged.
Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest
tramp in America, who several years
ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, at the expense of a western rail
road magnate, as a result of a wager
that Hans could not walk from Tacoma
to Panama in eight months, is to build
a home for aged tramps. Hans recent
ly received $25,000 by the will of a rel
ative who died in Sweden, and the money
is now said to be drawing interest in a
New York bank.
Hans recently disclosed his intention
[ to his friend. Peter Johnson, of Wor
cester, Mass. The other day Johnson
was in New York and, while talking
about Hans’ project, said:
“It sounds like the dream of a crazy
man, but Hans declares that he will
build the tramps’ home with his money.
He says that he will build his home
somewhere in New England. I asked
him why he didn’t take his money and
settle down and he said it is much more
fun to be a tramp. I
"He said that the only thing he wanted
to get out of his money is a home to live
in when he gets too old to catch freights,
j so long as he had to build himself ahome,
' be declared that he might as well build
! one large enough for 25 or 30 of his
friends. He told me that he knew 5,000
tramps on the road in the United States.
Some of these friends of his, he ex
plained, are getting old and stiff and
cannot tramp much longer.
“He plans to put all of his money in
this home for his friends. After it is
built, he argues that by a little work, i
such as broom making or mending chairs
or something of that kind, the 25 tramps
who reside within can pay running ex- ■
penses. When I asked him how soon he
is going to build this home he said that
he is looking for a suitable place, and
that as soon as he finds one he will take

MAKE ALBUM FOR THE POPE
Magnificent Volume to Be Sent by
Children of New Orleans
Parish to Pius X.
The exquisite album which is to be
presented to his holiness, the pope, by
the Children of Mary, of the Jesuit
church, of New Orleans, has been
finally completed and will be borne to
his holiness along with the magnifi
cent pontifical sandals, by Mr. Kelly,.
on the occasion of the golden jubilee
of the immaculate conception.
The album is g work of art and a j
thing of beauty. It is bound in
snow white antique silk, and the cor
ners and clasps are of pure gold.
Near the left-hand lower corner of
the cover is the pope’s crest, while
across the upper part of the cover is
the word “Autographs” in gold letters.
The album contains 50 pages. On
the right-hand side of each is some
original poem, composed by members
of the sodality, and written in either |
English, Latin or Italian. These
pages are exquisitely illuminated, aft
er the manner of the middle ages, and
the decorations on no, two are alike.
On the opposite side of the pages there
is nothing except some modest deco
ration. All the work was done by
hand by members of the sodality, ex
cept the chasing, which was done by
Walter, the college jeweler.
On the presentation page of the
album are the words: “To Our Most
Holy Father Pius X., Children of
Mary, Jesuits’ Church, New Orleans.
La., 1904.” On the title page of the
album are the words: “Golden Ju
bilee of the Immaculate Conception,
1854-1904.”
The album represented three months'
work.
NEW HOTEL IS A PALACE.
Hostelry in New York City Built and
Furnished Without Re
gard to Cost.
The Hotel St. Regis, another new
world palace planned to shelter vagrant
multimillionaires, has opened its doors
in New York city. John Jacob Astor is
the owner of the new hotel and R. M.
Haan is proprietor. The 18 stories are
furnished with a splendor unprece
dented. The corridors are of marble and
the walls are hung with silks that vary
in price from $7 to $15 a yard, and the
metal fittings in the bathrooms are of
solid silver.
The table linen came from Belfast,
the heavy embroidered bed linen from
Dresden, the china from the Royal
Worcester and Minton factories, and the
carpets were woven in France from spe
cial designs to suit every apartment.
There is a library of 2,150 volumes for
the patrons. There are devices for reg
ulating the heat by which any temper
ature desired may be attained. Cool
air also may be introduced. Clocks are
on every mantel, run from a magnetic
clock in the office, and pantries are on
every floor in which breakfasts are pre
pared.
The state suite excels in magnificence
any of the other apartments. It con
sists of a dining-room in Circassian
walnut, wainscoted to tie ceiling, dec
orated with silver, bronie ornaments,
formerly the property of the king of
Sicily. Prices range from seven dollars
a day for room and bath to $125 a day
for the state suite.
The hotel, exclusive of furniture, cost
$4,000,000. The furniture cost another
$1,500,000.

ONLY A RIVER WHITEFISH.
Story of Man Who Knew Kish Whoa
He Saw Them, Also a Ball
road “Ad.”
William C. Harris, angling ed
itor of Outing, and rightly called
the Izaak Walton of America, is a
man who can come pretty near to
telling exactly what fish you will
And in Blank brook, iu Blank
township of Blank county, Idaho,
Texas or Rhode Island. New Ash
es and new facts about them, be
lores as a miser loves gold, only
he does not board them, but gath
er* them to give out again.
One day Harris chanced to be in
St. Paul. He was talking with
General Passenger Agent Charley
Fee, who said Harris should go to
Montana to catch grayling in a
stream at that time much adver*
tised.
Harris said there were no gray
ling in the stream. The railroad
man laughed at him as a New
Yorker who pretended to know
more about a certain Montana
river than a man who had Ashed it.
The dispute waxed warm. Har
ris was due in New York on a
certain day, and by taking the Arst
train west he could have six hours
on the stream and still keep his en
gagement. In 36 hours he was on
the stream with a local represen
tative of the railroad. He waded
in, made one cast, and was fast to
a silvery thing that tore about
mightily like that of a grayling.
It came to the net, and the local
representative of the railroad
fairly shouted:
‘There, there; it’s a grayling!"
“Pack this carefully in moss,"
said Harris. “Send it to your gen
eral passenger agent.” Then he
walked to the telegraph office and
wired that official:
“Am sending one of your gray
ling. It’s an infernal old river
wbitefish.”
Then he took the train for New
York and kept his engagement.
A MAN AND HIS SHOES.
The Thicker the Soles He Wears thi
Larger the City from Which
He Hails.
“You can almost tell from
what country a man comes by the
weight of his shoes,” said J. W.
Davy, of Chicago, who represents
a shoe company, to a Milwaukee
Sentinel reporter. “You might
not believe it,” he continued, “but
the thicker the soles of his shoes
the larger the city from whiefc he
comes.( In New York it is almost
a fad, and the soles of the shoes
there are exceedingly heavy.
They are almost as heavy in Chica
go. Men there wear shoes to pro
tect their feet. They have not
time enough, it seems, to bothev
with rubbers. So they make on*
pair of shoes do the work for all
kinds of weather. Here in Mil
waukee and in other cities of this
size, I notice, the men wear
shoes and rubbers. I suppose
thev have time enoueh to wear the
overshoes. Up in the country 1
find that in many places leather
boots are not worn at all for sev
eral of the winter months. They
wear heavy socks and then pul
rubber overshoes over these,”
German “Sunday School*.”
In England the term “Sunday
school” has a definite meaning,
and is exclusively used to denote
a place of religious teaching. In
Germany, however, the race for
commercial supremacy has led t«
the establishment of Sunday
schools at which mechanics are
given practical instruction ia
their trades. There is, for exam
pie, a school for masons, at which
the students, many of them me
chanics who work during the
week, spend several hours on Sun
day morning in learning the high*!
er branches of their craft. Sim
ilarly there are Sunday schools for j
tailors, ironmongers, bookbind- j
crs, and followers of other trades j
—even barbers and blacksmiths.

'11 have used Paracamph in a severe case
of Rheumatism, and will say that I got
immediate, relief. I have tried almost
i r preparation that is now before the .
public, and find that raracampli is with
out question the best remedy for Rheu
VI iasm. I wish you success and heartily
c'omined Paracamph ”
i)Tr Hawkins is only one out of many
c m mils that have been cured by the '
derful penetrating remedy raracampli
This new remedy is a scientific prepara
tion which when applied, opens the pores
of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool
ing oils to penetrate toseatof the ailment,
removing the _soreness and congestion,
drawing out the fever and inflammation,
by inducing sweating. It sweats out the
pain and aches, and this is Nature's plan.
Don’t ruin your stomach with strong
internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu
ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee
Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used
as directed. If it fails your druggist will
refund your money. If your druggist don ’ t
handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
If he won’t do this send direct to us. |
But don’t take any substitute because there
is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold
only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and $1.00 bottles. 1
The 50 cent size contains three times as
much as the 25 cent size; the $1.00 bottles
eight times as much as the 25 cent size.
