Harmless Smoke

Costs Nothing to Try.
This preparation of herbs, leaves,
flowers and berries (containing no

or smoking tube, and by drawing the
medicated smoke into the mouth and
Inhaling into tho lungs or sending it
out through the nostrils in a pcriccuy
natural way, the worst case of Catarrh
can bo eradicated.
It is not unpleasant to use, and at
the same time it is entirely harmless,
and can bo used by man. woman or

Just as Catarrh is contracted by
breathing cold or dust and germ-laden
air, just so this balmy antiseptic

and can not reach all the afrected parts.

throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up
feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches; if

those brave men were dying in tho
waste of ice, I was lecturing in
warmth and comfort in Australia."
Captain Amundsen denied that he
had suggested that tho men who met
death might have fallen into
a crevasse.
"It is ridiculous," ho asserted, "to
think that five men would fall into
a crevasse."
Professor H. J. Cox, weather fore
caster, who had listened to the Nor
wegian's adventures and narration,
broko in:
"Shackleton nearly met tho samo
fate, you know."
"Yes," said Amundsen. "Shackle
ton had a hard time getting back.
He nearly met death. Ho turned
back just in time in tho very hour,
in fact, to save his lifo and ho was
only 111 miles from the pole.
"Can you think of the disappoint
ment in that case? Only 111 miles
from his goal, yet it is a long dis
tance. When there are railroad
tracks and Pullman cars and com
fort and good cheer 111 miles is
nothing. There in the frozen south
it is thousands of miles."
Captain Amundsen made it plain
that the fate of Scott and his aides
would not deter him in his plans for
a north polar expedition, beginning
next year.
"Why should I hesitate?" he
asked. "These affairs are very sad,
but they are really uncommon. It is
not what one may expect, as perhaps
some of you may think. No, I shall
start and I believe I will be suc
cessful." "What do you care about the
north pole, Captain?" was asked.
"Nothing," said the explorer,
swiftly. "I do not seek tho pole. I
may never reach it. I don't care
whether I do. The stories that I am
to actually seek the pole are untrue.
I am going only on a scientific expe
dition, chiefly to study air and ocean
currents. If I am close to the polo
and conditions are favorable, I will
go there, not otherwise. The story
that I will take an aeroplane is un
true; it is ridiculous."
Captain Amundsen sent the fol
lowing telegrams about the tragedy:
"Commander, Terra Novia, Littleton,
N. Z.: Deep sorrow loss comrades.
Congratulations. Convey sorrow
Mrs. Scott loss husband. Magnifi
cent battle."

VARIED LITERARY STYLES
Exchange editors are usually well
repaid for their work, by the enter
tainment they are afforded from the
various literary styles used by
writers in newspapers.
In a Dublin paper we find this:
"Tt looks to rae as if she had saddled
herself with a veritable white ele
phant." An Austrian paper states: "The
bride appeared in a smart white
frock of pale blue linen."
A Missouri newspaper, reporting a
divorce trial, states: "The husband
undertook to poison his wife with
out just cause."
In South Dakota the literary style
is only fairly well developed. A
paper of that state announces: "The
bride is a refined young lady of cul
ture, as also is Mr. Smith."
An Iowa paper innocently recom
mends: "To keep ants away from
the refrigerator, tio woolen strings
around each leg, saturated with tur
pentine." Oklahoma City Okla-homan.
MUNSEY'S EVICTION
It might have been possible for
Mr. Munsey to organize a political
holding company to control the re
publican and progressive parties, but
it was certain that no holding com
pany could control the Roosevelt vo
cabulary. Mr. Munsey will kindly
consider himself evicted from Arma
geddon for conduct unbecoming an
"angel." New' York World.
