The Chicago Chronicle says: “In
view of the failure of the attempt to
raise 35,000 for the regular army for a
war emergency, of the anxiety of the
volunteers now in the service to go
home, and of the fact that only 34 per
cent, of those who left employments in
Chicago to enter the service at the
outbreak of the war have found cra
ployrnent since their return, we may
well doubt whether the men who
would be needed for tlie regular army
under the President’s plan could be
obtained without offering bounties as
high as the highest paid during the
civil war or resorting to another plan
I which also was resorted to during the
civil war, and which resulted in a very
considerable exodus of able-bolied
men of military age to Canada. This
is not a pleasant alternative for impe
rial politicians to face.”
There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. it acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any cnse it
fails to cure, r end for circulars and tes

Originally of a Schemer-
A big, uncouth looking stranger, with
shoulders like a Hercules, walked into
a department store late one afternoon,
and after gazing about a minute,
stepped up to a salesman and made
known bis wish to buy a shirt, says
the Philadelphia Record, A couple of
samples were shown him, and he in*
formed the'saleeman that either one
would do. It was an article that sold
for $1 50, and in making payment the
stranger pulled from his hip pocket a
huge roll of bills. He apparently
skimmed them over in looking fora
small bill, but he could not find one
of lees denomination than SSOO. One
of these was handed the surprised
salesman, but be arose to the occasion
and sent it away with the cash boy.
When the change came it was near*
ly all in small bills. The stranger in
terrupted the salesman in his work of
counting the bills by reaching for the
pile and wadding it into bis bip
pocket. “Ob, I guess it’s all right;
and you can give that skirt to a por
ter if you can find one big enough to
wear it All I wanted was the change.
You see, it was after banking hours,
and lam a man of resources. Good
day.”
A Modern Miracle-
We may look for David T. Littler to
lead off with one of the munificent
entertainments which have made his
name a household word in every cor
ner of the state, says the Springfield
(Ill.) correspondence of the St. Louis
Republic When Littler entertains
there is a sound of revelry by night
and all goes merry as a marriage bell.
At bis last reception to the state offi
cers and members of the assemby
there was a medieval feast; the boars’
head and the wassail bowl. Such a
profusion of meat and drink bad never
before met the hungry and thirsty
legions of the state house, even on a
field night with the lobby. Eat and
drink as they might, there was always
enough and to spare. Tbe next day
Senator Littler met Bishop Seymour,
of the Southern Illinois Episcopal
diocese.
“Bishop,” said he, “I am a convert
to your belief in miracles
“Ah, senator,” said the bishop, "I
was sura it would come. And since I
am sure it was neither my eloquence
nor arguments, I may, without egos
tism, ask what has wrought this
change,”'
The senator rose on tiptoe and
whispered in the bishop’s ear.
“This morning,” said he, “I found
that I had three baskets of champagne
left over from last night.
The good bishop was puzzled and
said he could not see any connection
between champagne and miracles.
“Well it’s this way,” Littler replied,
“I’m willing to admit it was possible
to save seven baskets of bread from
that crowd in Gallilee when it’s possi*
ble to save three baskets of champagne
from the Illinois Legislature.”
