' * “ [SEASONING A STEAK Nothing will “lay you up, “play you out,” “put you to bed” quicker than a kidney cold. Thousands feel the first ef- fect of colds in the kidneys} back- ache, rheumat ic pains, urinary disor- ders, retention of the urine, infrequent * and too frequent urinary dischargés tell of kidneys out of order. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure all Kidney Ills from common backache to danger- ous diabetes, A. T. Ritenour, owner of the wood yard at 125 East Cork street, Winches- ter, Va., says: ‘Ever since I had la grippe I have been a sufferer from kidney troubles, which made them- selves apparent in racking pains through the region of the kidneys and across the small of my back. The pains were always severe, and some- times so sharp and biting that they compelled me to take to my bed. The kidney secretions furnished further evidence of disorders. They were off color, irregular, and painful of pas- sage. Added to this there was an an- noying weakness. “The newspaper advertisements of Doan’s Kidney Pills attracted my at- tention, and I procured a box of that remedy at Franck Baker & Sons’ drug store. The relief I experienced was magical. The pills lifted me from * my bed of sickness, placed me on my feet, and made me a well man. I can work as well as ever. Doan’s Kidney Pills, I believe, saved my life. They are a great remedy to stop kid- ney troubles resulting from colds.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid- ney medicine which cured Mr. Rite- nour will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.

The Eastern visitor finds the cities of the Northwest coast brimfull of life, color, significance, picturesque inter- est; and though the forces which have combined in their making are some- what similar, each has a distinct char- acter and individuality. “Lively,” a word of the West, may well be applied to them—a sort’ of brisk activity, youthfulness, ozone. They have the rather unusual capacity of doing big things and talking about them lustily at the same time. It’s the cry of the street corners, “Just watch us grow. See us getting to the front.”—Ray Staner Baker in the Century. $100 REWARD $100. ‘The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up. the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The pro- prietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for ane case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testimonials, Address F. J.

Tabasco Sauce, Cayenne and Red Pep- pep and a Half a Dozen Sauces Too Strong for the Palate of the West- erner—How Tastes Vary. Two distinguished looking men sat in a Chicago cafe last Wednesday evening poring over the bill of fare. From the conversation it was plainly seen that one was a resident of the city. The other wore the pompadour hair, flowing mustache and goatee charactertistic of the Mexican. His English carried the soft accent that is heard at Monterey or Santa Cruz. After the two men had read through the menu card the Chicagoan pulled his spectacles from his nose and said: “Let it be a nice steak for two. This place is famous for its sirloins.” “Very well,” answered the Mexican, “let it be a steak. Here, waiter, a nice double sirloin, and be sure it is the best you have.” Half an hour later the steak was on the table. The Chicago man leaned over and looked at the meat, and then said, “Very fine indeed. This place, as I said, has always been famous for its steaks.” “Were you ever in Mexico?” asked the man with the pompadour. “If you have never been you can not speak with authority on steaks. Nowhere else in the world do they know how to serve them so well. There we have our many piquant sauces and our spicy herbs for garnishing. When the platter is set before us at home the steak is fit for any king. Now this steak will taste flat to me. It has all the possibilities of the real Mexican article, but the chef knows less than any senorita in our land about tempé- ing the palate. In a moment I could improve this steak 500 per cent.” “I have heard of the Mexican steaks,” said the Chicagoan. “Will you serve it as you choose? Let us have it after your own liking if you can fix it.” The Mexican ordered tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, half a dozen spices, and some red peppers. First he liter- ally buried the meat under a covering of cayenne, then drowned it in tabas- co and garnished it with the red pep- pers. “Now we will wait until the flavors strike into the meat,” he said as he leaned back into his chair. A few moments later he handed the Chi- cagoan a plate with the steak a la Mexican, The Chicagoan looked at it a moment, cut off a diminutive bite, and placed it fearfully between his teeth. Instantiy his face turned red, the tears came into his eyes, and his hand went out to his water glass. He swallowed the bit of meat, clutched his throat and an instant later clapped both hands over the second button on his vest. Then he choked, buried his face in his napkin, and fought the in- ternal flames for five minutes. Meantime the Mexican was devour- ing his share of the steak with the ut- most satisfaction. “How can you do it, man?” asked the Chicagoan. “Ah, now it is fine; almost as good as we get in Mexico,” he answered. “You people of the North will never learn the value of spices. Do you not like the flavor?” The Chicagoan pushed back his plate, and sat watching the man oppo- site him during the rest of the dinner. He declared the steak was hotter than fire, and that it would fuse boiler plate. But the Mexican said it really lacked something to give it zest. When the two had finished dinner the Chicagoan said: “I believe I prefer the ordinary Chicago article. If this fire within me ever become extin- guished I will be satisfied to let ex- periments alone.” “It was delightful, delightful,” said the Mexican. “I feel better than at any time since I crossed the Texas border.”—Chicago Inter Ocean. Stories of Wolves’ Ferocity. A terrible encounter with wolves took place recently near Folksham, in Moldavia, Roumania, recently. A par- ty of seven peasant carol singers were Pset upon close to the little station of Sihlea by a pack of wolves furious with hunger. The young fellows, who were unarmed, except for their sticks, fought with the courage of despair, and one after the other was dragged to the ground and horribly mangled, until three alone were standing badly mauled, but still struggling. At this juncture a train steamed up, the pass- engers rushed to the aid of the ap- parently doomed trio, and succeeded with shouts and sticks in driving off the terrible beasts of prey. At no great distance from the spot several peasants who were sleighing to the market with a litter of pigs only es- caped by abandoning their living freight one by one, and only reached their destination as the last pig was thrown to the wolves. A Natural Slip. # Prof. Knight of St. Andrew’s uni- | versity, in a volume of personal recol- lections, tells a story concerning Prof. Pathology in Edinburgh university for twenty-seven years. “When his colleague, Prof. Trail, the Encyclopaedia Britannica editor, one day objected to a candidate for graduation (who was a native of Cey- lon) on the ground of false spelling, Trail said: “Why he actually spelt ‘exceed with one “e.”’ ‘Oh,’ replied Henderson, in a moment, ‘you should remember that he came from the land of the Singalgse!’ es The joke, we are told, saved the | candidate.

Anecdote of the Boyhood Days of Mil- waukee’s Mayor. “As a schoolboy that man was no- torious. all over Walworth country for his utter disregard of his personal ap- pearance,” remarked James G. Mona- han of Darlington in the Hotel Pfister yesterday, as Mayor David S. Rose, a paragon of neatness crossed the lobby. “Mrs. Montgomery, a daughter of the late B. A. Gray of Omaha, was a schoolmate of Mr. Rose, and she told me the following story about him: “It was Friday afternoon, and the boys in the little cross-roads school had to speak pieces and the girls write compositions. David was one of the unfortunates. He appeared in heavy kip boots, red as sole leather from a lack of blacking and elbow grease. He usually had a piece of rope tied about his waist, but this day this piece of personal ornamentation was lacking. “David Rose!’ called the petite school teacher, her face all smiles as David, with agony marking his fea- dures, took his place on the platform. ““Take your hands out of your pockets!’ exclaimed the teacher as David stood facing the school, with both hands thrust in his trousers pockets. “David took one hand out of a pocket and made his bow. ““Take the other hand out of your pocket!’ she cried. a “David's face flushed scarlet as he replied: at homey’ “The school was convulsed with laughter, and David was permitted to speak his piece with one hand in his trouser$ pocket.”—Milwaukee _Sen- tinel, PASSION AND THE HEALTH. Some Emotions Tend to Prolong and Others to Shorten Life. “The nassions’ effect on the health is not sufficiently regarded,” said a physician. “The passion which is best for the health is avarice. It keeps one cool, encourages regular and in- dustrious habits, leads to abstemious- ness and makes against all excess. And hence, the avaricious, the misers, live to a great age. The mis- ers of history were all noted for their longevity. Rage is very bad for one. This passion causes an irregular, in- termittent beating of the heart, and the intermittency in time may be- come chronic. Hatred creates fever. If we hate we grow lean. This hot passion eats us like a flame. Fear is bad for the nerves, the heart and the brain, and, therefore, we should never permit ourselves to be afraid. But the strangest effects of all have been caused by the passion of grief. The medical books record cases | where, coming suddenly, in a violent shock, it has caused a.loss of blood from the lungs in one person, paraly- sis of the tongue in another and a fauure of sight or temporary blind- ness in a third.” How to Obtain Sleep. If you fear a sleepless night undress in the dark. Light stimulates and arouses the activities. Darkness is supposed to produce drowsiness. Put some chopped ice in a rubber bag and place it at the lower extremity of the spine. This is particularly quieting to the nerves. Do not use anything but a rubber bag or you will merely have a damp cloth and rheumatism by morning. Do not use a pillow. Re- lax every muscle so far as possible. Sprawl over the bed with arms and legs stretched out. Take a sponge bath with tepid water just before going to bed. Lie on your face in- stead of your back. That is the way babies sleep and their methods are scarcely to be improved upon :in this particular. All pressure is removed from the spine by this means and a delicious feeling of restfulness en- sues. Make up your mind that you won't keep awake long enough to hear someone come in to outline the next day’s work. You will drop asleep im- mediately. The Trim Parlor Maid. Lady Aberdeen in a recent lecture in London on women in Canada told an anecdote of her experience there while Lord Aberdeen was governor- general. He and his wife when they were making a journey across the dominion dined one night at a house “remarkable even among Canadian homes for its charm and beauty, pre- sided over by one of the most at- tractive mistresses.” They were wait- ed on by so trim a parlor maid that Lord Aberdeen felt constrained to compliment the hostess on the result of her training. “Oh,” said the lady, “I am so glad you think Jane did so well—I should like you to tell her so presently.” And when that “present- ly” came, said Lady Aberdeen, what should he discover but “Jane” arrayed in evening dress and proving to be the daughter of the house, who, in consequence of the unexpected de- parture of the servant, had not only to wait on the table, but cook the meal with the assistance of her moth- er. Weight vs. Wait. “Our grocer,” remarked Mrs. Slo boy, “seems to be giving us short weight in everything lately.” “Oh, that’s all right,” replied Slo- boy, “I suppose he’s trying to get even on account of the long wait I give him for his money.” Slight Misunderstanding. “Tf,” said the druggist, “you will give this new tonic a trial I’m sure you will never use any other.” “Excuse me,” rejoined the cus tomer, “but I prefer something a lif tle less fatal.” “Please, Miss B——, I left my rope | DAN GROSVENOR SAYS: “Pe-ru-na is an Excellent Spring Catarrh Remedy—I am as Well as Ever.” written from Washington, D.

GROSVENOR. «I consider Peruna really more meritorious than I did when I wrote you Jast. I receive numerous IJetters from acquaintances all over the country asking me if my certificate is genuine. I invariably answer good word for the tonic that brought me immediate relief. Peruna cured me of a bad case of catarrh and I know it will cure any other sufferer from that dis- ease.’’—John Williams. A Congressman’s Letter. Hon. H. W. Ogden, Congressman from Louisiana, in a letter written at Washing- ton, D. C., says the following of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy : . E, Griffith, Concan, Texas, writes: “T suffered with chronic catarrh for many years. I took Peruna and it completely cured me. I think Peruna is the best medicine in the world for catarrh, My general health is much improved by its use, as I am much sjronger than I have been for years.’’—W. E. Griffith. A Congressman’s Letter, Congressman H. Bowen, Ruskin, Taze- well county, Va., writes: «1 can cheerfully recommend your valuable remedy, Peruna, to any one who is suffering with catarrh, and who is ia need of a permanent and effective cure.’’—H. Bowen. r Mr. Fred D. Scott, Laure, Ohio, Right Guard of Hiram Foot Ball Team, writes: ‘Ns a specific for lung trouble I place Pe- rtina at the head.

I give Peruna my hearty indorsement.'’—Fred D. Scott. Gen. Ira C. Abbott, 906 M street N. W., Washington, D. C., writes :— “Tam fully convinced that your remedy is an excellent tonic. Many of my friends have used it with the most beneficial results for coughs, colds and catarrhal trouble."’— Ira C. Abbott. fi Mrs. Elmer Fleming, orator of Reservoir Council No. 168, Northwestern Legion of Honor, of ‘Minneapolis, Mfnn., writes from 2535 Polk street, N.E.: ‘ “T have been troubled all my life with catarrh in my head. I took Peruna for about three months, and now think I am_per- manently cured. I believe that for: catarrh in all its forms Peruna is the medicine of the age. when all other! remedies fail. I can heartily recommend Peruna as a catarrh remedy."’—Mrs. Elmer Fleming. Treat Catarrh in Spring. The spring is the time to treat catarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. Ifa course of Peruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt and permanent, There can be no failures if Peruna is taken intel- ligently during the favorable weather of spring. As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system wher- ever it may be located. It cures catarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state- ment of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

The weary little clerk had hauled down bolts of silk, bolts of silkaline, bolts of silkette and bolts of nearsfik until her temples throbbed and her bones ached. Then the customer turned sweetly to her and said: “Well, I was only looking for a friend, and—” “Certainly, ma’am,” smiled the clerk; but if you think your friend is in that other bolt, I'll get it down, too.” —Baltimore News.
