A m SJ a MR. WILLIAM F. STEESE. Mr, William F, Steese, 701 Coburn Sty Akron, Ohio, writes: “I have been troubled for several years with catarrh of the stomach, Have used different patent medicines to no effect whatever, and have doc- tored considerable with family doctor, “Sometimes his treatment would re- lieve me for a few weeks, but would eventually have to go back to him, and that had kept up for several years, “I was advised to use Peruna, aud have taken three bottles. Never felt so good in my life. Am going to con- tinue using it, Wouldn’t be with- out it in the house. / will gladly rece ommend it to any one afflicted with catarrh of stomach, or stomach trouble of any kind.” The above is an oft-repeated story, Troubled for years with chronic ca- tarrh, Tried different remedies and doctors to no avail. Peruna was ad- vised by friends, Instant relief expe rienced, Great gratitude to Peruna expressed, This, in brief, is a story that is repeated to us a great many times every year. No one could be in touch with our vast correspondence for one month without being impressed with the sin- cerity and truthfulness of these kind of testimonials, Peruna promptly produces au appe- tite, corrects digestion and relieves stomach difficulties that have resisted other treatment, Man-a-lin an ideal Laxative. He “Eats” Only Water. New York, May.—Dr. Gustave A. Gayer has undertaken a 40-day fast, is getting along well, he says. “Come in. This is the fourteenth day of my fast and I have only eaten a little water,” he said to a visitor. “T drink water only in the littlest sips imaginable, it is practically eating it. If I gulp it down I would be ill. To sip any liquid slowly produces ex- hilaration. I have experienced no in- convenience, only a slight dizziness at night.” “Why did you undertake this fast?” “To demonstrate the power of mind over matter.” A Regular Tom Boy was Susie—climbing trees and fences, jumping ditches, whittling, always getting scratches, cuts, sprains, bruis- es, bumps, burns or scalds.

Ho lding the Line (Copyright, 199 by Associateg Literary Press.) When two peppery old chaps like | Commodore Renshaw and Gen. Fair- ly—one from the navy and the other from the army—both widowers, and | one having a son and the other al daughter—both parents aching to ar- | gue and discuss, and neither willing to give an inch—are set to live side by side, what's the natural conse quence? Wrangle? Why, they wrangled from the very first day. That was about the Spanish war—as to whether the army or navy brought about | peace, The next was on politics, the next on religion, and they got so they wrangled about the weather. They wrangled, and yet they visited each other. “Egad, commodore, you are an old fossil, and your words don't count. and I'll never darken your door again, sir!" Gen, Fairly would exclaim as he left the house of the former in a huff; but he would be over again next day with something new to argue about. “Egad, sir, but for the navy and Santiago where would you dough- boys have been—where, sir?” the com- modore would exclaim with very red face. “We saved you, sir, and here you are, pretending to tell me of war! Yes, sir, and I'll go home, sir, and | want you to keep your hens at home or T'll shoot them, sir!” But the hens continued to roam tn his garden, and he didn’t shoot. They thought they were in deadly earnest— those two old heroes—but they weren't. They were bluffing. The spring that both reached the age limit and were retired they went up the Connecticut shore and bought villas side by side. At that time Eunice were abusing the government Instead of each other. At that time Eunice Renshaw and Grant Fairly, the re- spective daughter and son, were away at college, and both came home the of the enemy, and then two precipitated a crisis. The s 2 stoned out of the re's garden and the commo- dore’s dog was sent home with a to mato can tied to his tail. What made the matter worse was that both prin- cipals were shut up In the house—one from_gout-and the-other from an old wound that had reopened. “Eunice, you must stand by me,” announced t >» commodore. “I can't get out, and that person knows it, and he will take advantage of my helpless- ; ness to run up a fence.” “But what can I do?” the girl asked. “Take a revolver and patrol the line. If there is any fence building, shoot.” “Grant, my son, you must see this through for me,” groaned the gen-_ eral. “That person will hear of my) helpless condition and run up a fence. He must not be allowed to.” “But I don’t feel like getting into & muss,” was the reply. | “There will be no muss if you are firm. Take a gun and let yourself be seen on the firing line.” The ground between the houses, which stood a hundred feet apart, was covered with ornamental bushes. Miss | Eunice was the first to arrive. took shelter behind a bush a foot this side of the disputed line. She didn't like it a bit. She felt she couldn't be brave in such a cause. If any one came from the other house what was | AFTER SUFFERING ONE YEAR Cured by Lydia E. Pink: ham’sVegetable Compound Milwaukee, Wis. — “Lydia E.

It had been discovered that a cer- tain cherry tree that gave promise of a great yield stood about on the line between their two residences. That is, they agreed on the “about,” and then each claimed it was on his line. They began in argument and ended in an uproar. ices of a surveyor, and the man of the chain and theodolite found that the tree stood a full inch on the naval man’s land. Then the general brought out another surveyor, and aft- er two surveys it was found that the tree was his by two inches. “Egad, but I'll go to law,” exclaimed one officer. “And I'll defend my rights with a shotgun,” exclaimed the other. Each one announced and declared and contended that it was the prin- ciple of the thing and not the cherry tree he had at stake, and each one had purchased the wire to run a fence along and take in the tree.

I have lived up to it all my days, and I must uphold it now. Think of an army officer trying to claim my tree, and he belonging to the very troope we saved from capture by sinking Cervera’s fleet! I eball stick to my guns—to my guns!” “You officers are acting like a cou- ple of boys, dad,” was the comment made by young Fairly. “You've got a dozen cherry trees on the grounds; why fight about that one?” “Grant, you must look at the prin- ciple of the thing. Am I to be bull- dozed and walked over like a child? It be bad enough if any other it, but he—supposed to be and a gentleman!

Then the young man said as he raised his hat: “I am the general's son, and I pre- sume you are the daughter of the commodore.” Miss Eunice inclined her head. “We are here to shoot each other under certain circumstances.” Miss Eunice lifted her revolver in- to view and tried to look very brave. “We are both determined persons, and probably both will fall, It is also likely that our respective fathers wil! fall,” “Mine can't get out to fall,” said Miss Eunice before she had time to think. “Nor mine,” laughed young Mr. Grant. “If there is any shooting tc be done it must be between ourselves Shall it be a regular duel or promiscu ous firing?” Miss Eunice wanted to look very savage, but in place of that her face took on a smile, and finding hersel! defeated she threw her weapon or the ground. “A truce, eh?” laughed the youne man, as he also tossed away his weapon. “Now, please let me go tc the house with you.” “But my father. He's—he's—” “Yes, I know, and so’s mine. They are two foolish men, and we are go ing to talk to them. The idea of a quarrel over a cherry tree!” And young Mr. Fairly walked ip and faced the commodore, and he talked so well and laughed so ofter that the old veteran, who had beer ready to eat him up, finally said: “If your father will say that ‘it was the fleet that did the trick at San tlago, I think—think that will settle it.” “Tt am ready to admit that we couldn't have done without the fleet,” replied the general when he had got over his astonishment, “but I think the commodore ought to be willing to admit that if the navy had been at Gettysburg, it could not have won a greater victory than the army did.” Before high noon all was settled and the wire fencing put away for good, and on the third day the two veterans were well enough to sit on the veranda as of yore. They had been smoking in silence for five min- utes when the general said: “Commodore, you are a dog.” “General, you are the same.” “But we sly old dogs are going to get left. The young folks made a peace that they might fall in love and be married next year about this time." sly old Odorless Garbage Wagons.

Up to a few years ago the streets of the city of Laurenco Marquez, the cap- ital of Portuguese East Africa, were mere “rivers of sand,” and transporta- tion by automobile seemed as far off as aerial navigation. The white man was hauled laboriously through the zand in rickshaws and ladies went ‘| shopping swung in hammocks known as “mechillas.” During the last decade, however, wonderful changes have taken place, so that today Laurenco Marquez has 40 miles of macadam streets, with promise of more to fol- | ow. - The two looked at each | they | tanks which rest upon trunnions, In| ground form the tanks are somewhat like | stay. by a chain with a hinged portion of the footboard. resembling a treadle, upon which the men stand to empty cover, and when he steps off after | Pinkham Medicine Company of She | Mass., which prove beyond a doubt that Lydia E.
