People took their best 'Shower Sticks, on the atresgth of the advertisement in" the gapers, that all umbrellas would be checked and taken care of. Tor the tame reason, qnite a num ber el persons who could not get sear the check-rack, on account of the confusion, and did not care to get crashed, nor stay until the wee lours of the morning trying to get their umbrellas, left them, and held tVe checks, thinking that the umbrel- ftey could present the checks the erf morning when there was less danger, and get their property. But. came onto all the unlucky per ; who did this. They are out their good nmbrellas and have a grudge against the management of the eon aert, the A. A. A. A. committee, and ar vengeance against the per- who took their property. At least two owners have sworn to watch every umbrella that appears m the street or at any public place, wjstil they find the guilty persons who now hold them, unless their smbrelTas are left at Whitman's." LETTER FROM FORTY-NINER. Could Not Obtain Relief From Catarrh Until he Had Used Hyomei Here is a simple, interesting and sincere letter from a rugged pioneer of '49, who braved the dangers and hardships of the overland trail" to California. Surely the sincerity of this letter should surely appeal to those who desire to escape the bond age in which they arc now held by that ruthless and most powerful wrecker of health and happiness: Catarrh. Santa Jose, Cal., May S, 1908. Booth's Hyomei Co., Buffalo, N Y. Dear Sirs Some years ago I was afflicted with catarrh, and tried a timber of remedies, hut received no relief. I was told by a friend who had been using your Hyomei. and thought I would receive a great bene fit and perhaps a cure. I purchased an outfit, and before I had used the Vottfe I noted a marked relief. I used it for a month or so, and thought I was cured, and stopped asing it for a year or so. Thought I was getting catarrh again, and start ed using it again, and I keep it in the house and use it every morning once a day, and keep myself clear of ca tarrh. I consider it the best catarrh medicine that is used. I have often recommended it to my friends. K am 81 years old. I came to Cali fornia in 1849, and of course am not as vigorous as I was 58 years ago. My address is 841 Fourth street. Yonrs truly, W. Mock. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) is guaranteed by T. F. Laurin not only for catarrh, but for grip, eaghV eofds, bronchitis,' croup of Wants, asthma, and all diseases of the nose, throat and lungs. A com plete outfit, including inhaler, costs nfy $1.00;- extra bottles of Hyomei H afterwards needed cost but SO rxnta.. Ask t', F. Laurin about it. 1 Fed Turkeys the greatest of cre,1 so your order with us NOW you will insure yourself the best the market affords. Sol( ASt for . . . . C. FRY CUT GLASS Branch U. T. 71 The Proving.

CopjrrtMd. 1WS. by Aaaoctetna IMvnrt I "I don't just know how to explain It," said Margaret West She turned her eye from the cool, blue stretebes of the lake and looked thoughtfully at Graham, who, perched on the rail of the boathocee, was ab sently pulling at the flngera of the gauntlets In bla hands. The young man stiffened, and a alow smile, in which there was a hint of grimness, curved the comers of bis mouth. "I rather think I understand," he said quietly. "You are disappointed la me. Isn't that it!" She was silent for a moment "Tea, that Is it." she aald at length, and at something In her voice his face hardened. Then yon wanted me to enter that road race Thursday T" ha asked. ' "Yea," she said simply. "And because I wont" She turned to him quickly. "It Isn't that I'm tremendously In tonated la that race," aba Interrupted htm, "nor that I care a map whether or not you wis tt The point hi the point ta"- Sha paused; her brows draw together la a Uttle frown; her fingers toyed nervously with a bit of wisteria she had broken front the vine that cov ered the porch. "I wanted yon to be la it to go over the course. That would be sufficient" j she finished. J 1 see," be said. Ton wanted me to j disprove these stories that are going I the rounds about my lack of nerve. Is Ithatitr j "Yes," she said again. I Be drew blmxelf up. His shoulders were squared. His attitude waa that of a man summoning to his aid an bis moral courage. The stories they have told you are quite correct," he said, somewhat huskily. "Oh!" she said, and In her voice there was something of pain and some thing, too, of weariness, ss If she had been expecting this very thing. and , yet was unwilling, even in her pre paredness, to bear It. ; Tbey are perfectly right In what i they nay of me," he went on calmly, j "I have lost my nerve. There's noth , Ing. would tempt me to take up road racing a sain." J "Nothing?" she questioned. ; "Nothing," he repeated Inexorably. , "I am not In the habit of offering an explanation nor any excuses for my ' position in the matter. But I would ' like yon to know tbe circumstances, j Would yon care to lbtten to them?" i "If yon choose to tell me." she said dully. I "You remember that race three years ago over the Meadow island course';" I said be. "Well, it was then it bap ! pened. Stanley was with me. He and j I had a good lead. We were tearing past tbe curve at the old chorch, let ting out the car for all there was In ; her. As we swnng that turn I saw n . child Just In front of ns not twenty 1 feet away. It seemed. I "How she got past tbe ropes that held the crowd back I can't say, but ' there she waa right In the course and not a ghost of a show apparently of , escaping us. I don't know to this day ! what saved her. I only know there , was a great gasping sigh from Stanley and a groan from the crowd. I tried to .swing out for her, but there was so I little time. Anyway, it was some sort ' of a special Providence that saved her. i We shot past her, so close that I sbnt j my eyes." . I The girl saw a nervous tremor shake the big shoulders. Her eyes narrowed. "But the child wasn't bnrt, you sayr she asked. " 5 "Not In tbe least. But those few sec 'onds were enough for me. -I couldn't ! stand tbcui acaln. That Is why I am jout of the game a quitter. If you , choose to put it that way." The girl said nothing. She sat look 1 Ing out at tbe sparkling lake with trou I bled eyes. I At length Graham arose. , i "I don't blame you In the least for thinking of me as you do," said be. "nor for being disappointed. Ooodby." He slid from tbe rail and went down the steps to the big road car standing In tbe driveway. He bad pulled on his emintlets and wns 1nff cllniblner )nt 1 " .-w-ja the ear wUeu around the corner ot the boathonse came a wild eyed, dishev eled gardener from one of the houses down the street. "Mr. Grohaiu, sir," he panted, "will you lie getM' the doctor, quick! Tim Cowley's fell from the stagln' on the stables where they're palutln an' he's burted bad, sir. Tt dead he'll bs In ten minutes If tbe doctor's not fetched before that Hurryl For God's sake, hurry!", "I'll bsvt him here in five," Graham called, and opened up ths bl car. It sprang forward like a thing alive and went tearing down the driveway In a great cloud ot dust Margaret, who had run to th edge of the veranda, saw him swing Into the roadway beyond, and the drifting dust which rose high above the poplars told of the terrific pace he was setting. It was four minutes later, after a nervous pacing of the veranda, that she heard the whir of the approaching car again. She ran down the steps and hurried along ths drive to the roadway. t'P the hill, with honking horn, came a dull, black streak. 8he could see Graham bend'hg low over tm steering wheel and the doctor, hat tees and begrimed with dust, clinging tesperatety to the seat beside htm. Then out of the crossroad Just below where she stood and directly In the path of the coming cyclone came a rattling farm wagon, driven by old Mrs. Clark, who was ss deaf as a poet The girl covered her eyes and scream td. There were a wild yell, tbe sound of splintered wood and a terrific grind ing crash. When Margaret looked again the wagon alone was In the road. The au tomobile, turned 00 Its side, lay against the shattered fence. In the field beyond lay two huddled figures. In a moment the girl was running In that direction with all the speed she could summon. As she reached the scene of the accident one of the two figures scrambled limply to his feet The other painfully propped Itself upon an elbow. Then she saw that the man who stood erect was the doctor. Even as she came running Into the field she heard Graham's voice, rather faint. It Is true, but perfectly calm. "How badly are you hurt, doer It Inquired. "Only a bit," was the response, "a few bruises and a scratch or two." "Then get up to the Copley place as fast as you can." "But youf the doctor demurred. "I'm all right. Never mind me. ill be fresh as a lark when you get back. Hurry on now." Margaret ran to his side and, kneel ing down, began to wipe the blood from his face. Already the doctor was making a hurried examination, while Graham fumed and fretted and bade him harry to Tun Conley. "Hmr said the doctor, at length. "Pretty badly smashed up, hot we're lucky, both of us, to get out of It as well ss we did. Talk about your nerve I By Jove, tbe way he swung that csr out of the way was magnificent Never a thought for himself nor me either, ! rm convinced," ha ended. He pulled a roll of bandages from his case and banded them to the gtrL "Just do up his bead and stop tbe flow of blood as best you can. If you will, Miss West" he commanded "PU go up to Copley's snd fix Tim up. Then I'll come back here and set Graham's frac tures." He went limping up the road, and the girl bent closer to Graham. 'It was splendid!" she cried, her eyes shining. "Thatr said Graham. "Oh, that was nothing. I had to do that, you see. It was a question of killing the old lady or getting a bit banged up myself." Her face was very close to bla Something warm and moist struck his cheek. Those wicked stories they told about you" she began. They're true," be declared. "I have lost my nerve. I couldn't go Into a road race to' save my life. This was different, you see. This was some thing that had to be done." Two warm Hps were pressed to his grimy, blood stained forehead. "Had to be doner she repeated meaningly. "Ob, you delicious simple ton!" The doctor, limping back a few mo ments later, discreetly screened him self behind a tree. "There are times It Is better to wait before reducing fractures," be medi tated. Chair Hitching. "Tbe chair hltcher," says a business man, "Is tbe greatest nuisance that an office man Is compelled to endure. The hltcher Is always deeply Inter ested In the matter he has come to talk over, and tbe more he talks tbe closer he draws his chair, and with every additional point be makes be gives his chair another hunch in your direction, and by tbe time be has fair ly entered on his subject he has his feet on the rounds of your chair, his elbow on your desk and Is dropping the ashes from bis cigar on your co.it sleeve.

St Louis Globe-Democrat RHEUMATISM EASILY SIMPLE RHEUMATISM MIX TUREGET THE INOREI). IENTS FROM THE DRUG STORE AND MIX THEM YOURSELF AT HOME. Recent hospital reports show that the dread disease, rheumatism, is steadily increasing throughout the country. All known means of relief are being suggested to save the great amount of suffering this winter, es pecially among those who are not in a position to pack up and visit the noted health resorts to be treat ed. Recent tests prove rheumatism not exactly a disease in itself, but a severe symptom of kidney trouble, a condition caused by clogged up pores of the eliminative tissues in the kid neys which fail to filter the poison ous waste matter and uric acid from the blood, permitting these sub stances to remain in the veins and decompose, usually settling about the joints and muscles, causing the j intense pain, swelling and stiffness of rheumatism. The following simple home treat ment will cure Rheumatism and is harmless ami inexpensive, and so simple that anybody can mix it at home. The ingredients are: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com pound Kargon, one ounce; Com pound Syrup Sirsapaiilla, three ounces. Co to any good prescription pharmacy and get thee three harm less ingredients and mix them by shaking in a bottle, taking as a dose a teaspoonful after each meal and again at bedtime. There is nothing better in the world for backache, kidney and blad der trouble, too. Such symptoms as frequent and painful urination, sore ness, weakness, general and nervous debility are caused by certain acids and poisonous waste matter, decayed tissue, etc, in the blood, which the kidneys will clear and purify after a few dosM of this prescription.
