A SOLDIER OS' FORTUNE.
A cablegram from London announces
tbo sentence of Lochlel Lorimer Gra-
harae to three years penal seiritude
Grahame Is an Amerimn with a remark
able as well as thrilling history. He
stoutly maintains that he is a descen
dant of the great Duke of Montrose, and
his unfortunate end certainly goes a long
way to give hit tale the color of plausi
billty. He Is a typical soldier of for
tune, and in the smoke of battle lie
found the keenest pleasure. In Mexico
and France and Germany bo bad won
bis spurs on many a liard-contesleil
field, and in the shook of battle he was
always In the 'rout. His sooial career
was as checkered and interesting in its
way os bis martial record, and ilius
trates the versatility of bis gifts. He
was a friend of many distinguished men
of letters; had seeu diplomatic service
had been presented to Victoria and was
no infrequent figure In the blaze of the
court circles. During the Russo-Turkisb
war he fought for the “sick man of Eo
rope" against the Russians. This is but
an incident in his varied experience, but
it Is a significant one.
Hla appearance Is distingue and im
posing, and he is a walking encyclope
dia, familiar with politloal, social and
religious topics and conversing with
fluency and brilliancy on every topic
broached.
He had a mania for forgery and it
finally got him into bis present distress
ed condition.
He U an old man now with the snows
of seventy-six winters resting on his
brow and ere long he will round np bis
eventful and enggeetive career and go to
the wayfarer's list resting place.
CHRISTMAS WEEK.
Sunday ushered In Christmas-tide
with its bright train of pleasures and
blessings, strewn as thick as "leaves of
Vallainbrosa." The air is crisp, bracing
and charged with subtle elixir that
makes the nerves thrill and the warm
blood bound; and the pulse quickens,
the eye glistens in eager anticipation of
ttie season marked with peace on eartii
and good sslll toward the sons of men.
Christmas bells are rinsing,
Christmas corals softly singing,
Clear and sweat thslr.voices say,
“Christ, the Lord, was horn to-day-"
Christmas is coming with its wealth ot
softened memories and its golden asso
ciations; in the lap of "surly winter” it
nestles like a violet smiling In its snowy
conch.
It spurs the sluggish soul to generous
impulses; it’s Ithunal spear awakens
the electric current of unselfish affec
tion in the coldest heart, and kindles
the spark of kinaness in marble halls or
thatched hovel.
Christmas in Amerlcus will he as
Christmas elsewhere; an out-pouring of
the heart and soul and a spirit of love,
generosity and kindness that will be as
pure and sweet as the "first full draught
of immortality to a new made angel's
‘thirst ” ,
A DEAD SHOT
right at the seat of difficult v Is arconv
pushed by the sure and steady aim of
Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Don't
fool around with a pop-gun, nor a
“Flint-lock,” when this reliable “Win
chester” is within reach!
Dr. Sage’s treatment of Catarrh in the
Head is far superior to the ordinary, and
when directions are reasonably well
followed, reauita in a permanent cure.
Don’t longer tie indifferent to the veri
fied clalmi of this unfailing Remedy.
The worst forma of Catarrh disap
pear with the use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. Its mild,- soothing, cleansing
and healing properties effect • perfect
and permanent cure, no matter how had
the case, or of how long standing. It's
a remedy that succeeds where every
thing else has failed. Thousands of
such cases can be pointed out. That’s
the reason its makera back their faith in
It with money. They offer <300 reward
for a ease of Catarrh which they can
not cure.
It’s a medicine that allows them to
take auch a rlak.
Doesn’t common sente lead you to
take auch a medicine?
“An advertising fake ” you say.
Funny, isn’t It, now some people pre
fer slckucsa to health when the remedy
1* positive and the guarantee abiolute.
Wise men don’t put money back of
“fakes." And “faking” doesn’t pay.

consciousness that they live in the affec

Tub Herald begs leave to present its
most rcsqcctful compliments and tbe as
surance of its highest consideration to
thoee three famous Christmas babies,
Miss Rntb Cleveland, Mr. William As-
tor, Jr., and Mr. Hermann Oelricbs, Jr.
Had they come a Uttlo later they would
have bad to wait a whole year for 'their
first introduction to that benign old
gent, Santa Clans. May they wax aa fat
and famous, as fair and fortunate as
tbelr honored progenitors.' May their
tiny socks burst with the good things of
life and their mletie-toes be the subjects
of enduring kisses.—New York Herald.

The hand that rocks the cradle has also quite often a hand in
buying the Clothing, Shoes und Huts for the family. The head of the
house cannot attend to these matters and leaves them to the really
superior judgment of his "frau.” She “shops" around and
generally knows very quickly where she prefers to buy her shoes.
And if wcTmay be pardoned the egotism, we may say that the larger
nnraber of housewives in Americus and surrounding country have
found their way to
