It has been the universal experience of mankind that a spring tonic of some sort is necessary, All kinds of remedies, herbal and mineral, have been used. There is usually great uncertainty as to the operation of the average spring tonic, Peruna, on the other hand, has been in use for so many years and in such a variety of climates and by such a multitude of people that its beneficial operation for spring ailments has become a practical Peruna can be relied upon asa spring tonic, It cleanses the blood by correcting the diges tion, which is the source of good blood. - alta J Mrs. Elin Malmgren, 77 Cleveland street, West Manchester, N.

The defendants were all prosecuted criminally and were all found guilty and fined by the trial court. The sults were {nstituted especially for the purpose of testing the appll- cability of the law to laborers and mechanics employed on dredges in river and harbor improvements, but other points also were ngcessarily in- volved. The court held the law to be constitutional, but held that it does not apply to laborers and mechanics on dredges and that men soemployed cannot be held to beem- ployed upon public works.

LOUIS CHURCH HAS A SUNDAY 50c|ing the singing and rendering suit- SCHOOL ORCHESTRA. Urganized hy Walton a Former Butler Boy. Globe- Democrat. Among the many novelties in the church work of this city, among the latest and most attractive isa Sun- day School orchestra. Two or three years ago Mr. W. W. Steele, a young business man of the city, connected with the Lucas Avenue Presbyterlan church, conceived the idea that the Sunday echool exercises might be rendered more entertaining by the introduction of other instruments besides the plano to accompany the singing. The services of two or three volunteer performers were secured, a beginning was made with three wind instruments, the fanovation proved popular, and one by one other per- formers came in until now there ie a very nice orchestra of nineteen per- formers. As might be expected, the strings predominate, but nearly all the wood-winds and brasses are rep- resented and although there are no timpani, they are hardly missed. the performers are young The deciston will | inaies, and the young men vary in from a emall but very earnest violinist of 12 to an equally earnest enthusiast whose locke are tinged with gray. All, leader included, are amateurs, and although of course rmanves are not to be judged fcom a professional point of view, there are professional organi- zations in the city that have been known to do worse work This little orchestra {san adjunct of the Sanday school, accompany- ‘ able selections as a spectal feature of the exercises. Ut also assists in the monthly evening song services of the church, being an agreeable departure from the usual church services. So attractive is 1s acknowl- eged to be tha he church, two or three blocks away on the same street, has taken the hint and {is organizing Sunday school orchestra on its own account. At the rehearsals, variety is sccured by the practice cf p: pular as well as sacred m ic. The orchestra occa- sionally, es a little concert for the entertain..ent of its friends. Its most entbuslastic admirer is Dr. Rogers, the new pastor of the church, & music lover, who pronounces the organization one of the best to be found anywhere, and is apparently prepared to scoff at the idea of the Choral Symphony oreven the Thom- as orchestra playing any better. To the outsider the most remark able thing about this orchestra is the change of sentiment {indicated by its existence. Only @ few decades ago the members of the most rigid Protestant denominations regarded the fiddle as Satan’s own instrument and more than one case occurred of church member being disciplined for the offense of ownire ome of these “devil’s tools,” a~ o-me termed.

Dearth oy ta Ke th Ma gt a RAILROAD DENIES WAR ON MELON MEN, Southeast Missouri Acreage Re- bilieved that the acreage of melons will yet be brought up to theaverage when the position of the railroad is understood. Children Saved by a Kitten. Charleston, Mo., May 20.—Ship- pers of watermelons from the South- east Missour! melon belt, comprising the counties of Mississipp!, Scottand Dunklin, were notified a few weeks ago that because of hostile legisla- sion of the Missourl Legislature, the railroads could not promise to un- dertake the shipment of melons with the same promptitude as informer years. This report has resulted in a large decrease in the acreage devoted to the growing of melons. '. During the recent special session of the Legislasure, Representative Deal, who {8 @ son of Colonel rienry J. a farm product to this region, secur- ed the enactment of a law which pro- vides that the railroad company must provide all the necessary cars for the prompt transportation of the crop, under penalty of $1 a car per diem and the payment of any dam- Ages that may result to the prospec tive shipper by reason of any such delay. The bill was opposed by the rail roads before its enactment, but Mr. Deal, while in St. Louls, on his way home here, was assured by the rail- road managers that he and thegrow- ers laboring under a misapprehension of the facts and the intentions of the company. The company, he was assured, had no desire to curtall shipments or the production of melons.

The children were playlog in the yard, when they saw the snake, which was about four feet long. come gliding down the tree. Not knowing | thelrdanger, the children ran over to jthe serpent, which was about three jfeet from the ground, and were about |to plek tt up In thelr hands, when the lissle kitten, seeing the woving objcet on the tree trunk, clambered up after it, and pulled {t to the ground There the snake wrapped {teelf around the kitten, which promptly Deal, the ‘ntroducer of the melon as |lay on its back and clawed vigorous- ly at itsempty. The children rushed {nto the house, shouting that the “kitty was playing with a big worm,” but nothing was thought of it until several minutes later, when they came in again and excitedly said that the big worm was choking “kitty” to death. Investigation showed that the cat was holding {ts own, and had the reptile clawed and bitten bus the snake was drawing its coils more closely around the brave little pet, and would have choked {t to death within a few minutes. - Armed with clothes props and brooms, the children’s mother and grandmother attacked the snake and after five minutes compelled & to relinquish its hold on the kitten, which had to be held from contine- ing the attack, while the snake crawled rapidly.
