For some time subscribers of The

early In the morning.
One man has secured a shot gun and
declares that the next time the news
paper thief shows his unwelcomed
presence about his place there will be
h reception awaiting him thai will bo
as warm as ho deserves.

To Kid w Wlmt You Are TnklitR When
LLslitK Catarrh Medicines,
Catarrh Is the short rottlo In con
sumption, and the Importance of early
and Judicious treatment nf catarrh,
whether located In the head, throat or
bronchial tubes, cannot be (mo stroimly
cniphnslr.cd,
The list of catarrh cures Is as long
as the moral law and the forms In
which they are administered, numer
ous and cuuruslng, from sprays. Inhal
ers, washes, ointments, and ralves to
powders, liquids, and lablels.
The tablet form Is undoubtedly the
most convenient and the tuosl effective
hut with nearly nil advertised catarrh
remedies It Is almost entirely a matter
of Ktiess work as to what you are tak
ing Into your system, as the proprie
tors, while making all sorts of claims
as lo whut their medicines will do, al
ways keep It a .close secret as to what
they are,
The success and popularity ot the
new catarrh cure, Stuart '.1 Catarrh
Tablets, Is largely because It not only
cures catarrh hut because catarrh suf
ferers who use these tablets know
what they an; taking Into their sys
tems. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
composed of Hed Gum, Wood Hoot and
simitar valuable and antiseptic In
gredients, and are pleasant to the tnste
and being dissolved In the mouth they
take immediate eft'oct upon tho mucous
lining or tho throat, nasal passages
and whole respiratory tract.
Tho cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lots have accomplished In old chronic
cases of catarrh are little short of 'e
markable, and the udvuntnge of know
ing what you urn putting Into your
stomach Is of paramount Importance
when It Is remembered that the cocaine
or morphine habit has been frequently
contracted as the result of using secret
catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with'
cordial approval from physicians, '.vc
causo their antiseptic character render
them perfectly safe for the general
public to use and their composition
makes them a common sense cure for
all forms of catarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at CO cents
for full sized packages.

HOW STONEWALL JAGKSON
WAS SENT TO WEST POINT
Willi, mi I'tn.i lliu.vii, in .Novciului Fiicii'i-.
On a stormy November day. In the
year 1S4-, two anxious looking young
men sat in the public sitting room of
tho old Dalley house, at Weston, In
what Is now Lewis county, W. Va.
"You'll be the one, Tom," whispered
one to the other, as a waiter entered
bearing a letter In his hand.
"I am afraid not, Gib," was tjie re
ply, from a serious-faced youth, who
was largo for his age, which was only
seventeen.
As the negro looked around, Gib
fairly trembled with caircrness, while
Tom's features settled into a sort of
grim composure.
".Mr. Gilbert Uutcher," called the
waiter.
Gib sprang forward, seized and tore
open tho envelope, then waved It en
thusiastically. "It's mine!" he shouted, and was
about lo follow the assertion tin with
an old-fashioned yell, when thp sight
of his companion's faco checked him.
"I am sorry, Tom, on your account," he
had the grace to add. "Hy George, I
ant! I thought Mr. Hays would cer
tainly have chosen you."
Hut, hy this time, Tom Jackson, re
covering from ills disappointment, was
able to congratulate his fortunate rival.
"I ant glad you got It, Gib." said ho.
"seeing- that I didn't. You are abend
of me In mathematics, and they say
that counts at Went Point, Hut, now
the ngonv Is over, I must serve these
subpoenas, or I'nelo Cummins will
'raise Ned,' especially as l failed on
that nppoiniinent."
lie wont sorrowfully out, and mount
ed a jaded looking gray niaro, He was
hailed fioni an upper window of tho
hotel.
"Sorry I could not appoint you both.
Tom." said an elderly, woll garbed con
gressiunii, "Hut, as f have only one
West Point appointment fulling to mo
this term, 1 hud to let Gib have It, He
Is ahead of you in his studies, you
kliow."
"I've always had to work," comment
ed Tom. rather sadly, "Gib could go to
school, Put, If 1 should ever have an
other chance, please don't forget nit,
Mr, Hays."
As Constable Thomas J, Jackson lodo
away, his earnest tone and manner lm
pressedtho congressman so deeply that
lu remembered It later on, when Tom's
second chance unexpectedly rami!; for
Hutcher, after a mouth or two at West
Point, suddenly returned home. One or
tho first to meet him was Jackson, still
riding as constable for I'nclu Cummins,
who was Justlco of tho peace.
"What brines you back?" asked Tom.
