STATEMENT MADE YESTER
DAY BY A PROMINENT
CITIZEN.
la in interview, yesterday, with a
prominent citizen, who, with his
wife, was a loser in the "umbrella"
nrmo3 at the Philharmonic concert
at Tnesday evening last, and who
, proposes to follow up the lost
aaower-sttcks until he locates and
renins them, no matter who ha
them, he delivered himself, forceful
ly, as follows:
"There seems to be a good bit of
resentment against the management
f tS Philharmonic concert on ac
ctrart of the! umbrellas that were lost
tkere the other evening. 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.

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.

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.
