ied an ki A PROMINENT COLLEGE MAN. One of Indiana’s Useful Educators ‘Says: “I Feel Like a New [lan.” MR. JOHN Mr. John W. Meng, 54 Jefferson Ave., Indianapolis Business College, writes: «I firmly believe that lowe my fine health to Peruna. W. MENG. Indianapolis, Ind., State Representative of Constant travel and change of food and water wrought havoc with my stomach, and for months I suffered with indigestion and catarrh of the stomach. I felt that the only thing to do was to give up my occupation which I felt very reluctant to do. Seeing an ad. of Peruna as a specific for catarrh I decided to give ita trial, and used it faithfully for six weeks, when I found that my troubles had all disappeared and I seemed like a new man. I have a bottle of Peruna in my grip all the time, and occasionally take a few doses which keeps me in excellent health.’’— John W. Meng. ‘T# most common phases of summer catarrh are catarrh of the stomach and bowels. Peruna is a specific for summer catarrh. Hon. Willis Brewer, Representative in Congress from Alabama, writes the follow- ing letter to Dr. Hartman: House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: Gentlemen—‘‘I have used one bottle off Peruna for lassitude, and I take pleasure in recommending it to those who need a good remedy. As a tonic it isexcellent. In the short time I have used it it has done me a great deal of good.’’—Willis Brewer. If you do not derive prompt and satisfac-) tory 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.

DAINGANGUISH WRING: BROW b} AMWINSTERING A SURE REMEDY. This Is Good Advice: If the Dog Barks Ring the Bell. Do unto others as they do unto you, might well be the heading of this true tale. Two men and a dog are~ the characters therein. Man No. 1, being unable to sleep for three entire nights dog aforesaid, got up and\arrayed him- self at 4 o’clock in the morning and hied him to his neighbor’s front door. There he kept his thumb on the elec- tric bell until the dismayed servant ap- peared. A “I wish to see Mr. W.” “Why, sure, he’s in bed at this hour, sir.” “’m sorry, but I must see him now.” “He ain’t goin’ ter get up at this time ter see nobody.” “Well, I intend to stay here and ring this bell until he does see me, and you can go and tell him that.” After an ominous interval Mr. W. descended, almost speechless with wrath. “What do you mean by disturbing me in this manner. It’s the most out- rageous—” “Yes, that’s what I think, and I sim- ply called to warn you that as long as your dog keeps me awake every night I shall come and ring this bell, for if I can’t sleep you certainly shall not. Good morning.”—New York Times. A Woman's Back. Dublin, Mich., June 29th—To the many women who suffer with weak back and pains and tired feelings in the small of the back, the experience of Mrs. Fred Chgker of this place will be interesting and profitable. Mrs. Chalker had suffered a very great deal with these back pains and although she had tried many things, she could find nothing that would re- lieve her. The pain kept on in spite of all she could do. At last she chanced to read the story of another lady who had suf- fered with the backache, and she had been cured by a _ remedy , called Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and Mrs. Chalker thought she would try the same thing. After the first two boxes had been taken according to directions, she be- gan to feel some better, and she kept on till at last she was cured. Her pains are all gone, and she is very grateful. She says: “Dodd’s ANGELTHOU: When Answering Advertisements Kindly Mention This Paper. Kidney Pills helped me greatly, and I will always recommend them as a cure for Pain in the Back.” The small boy is apt to doubt the wisdom of his parents when they teil him what is best for him.

Roaldo Amundsen has a much bolder undertaking in view than the important though not necessarily dan- gerous mission of locating the magnet- ic pole and making meteorologiéal ob- servations. His most cherished pur- pose is to make the “northwest pas- sage,” that theoretical route searched for by the mariners of old in order to shorten the distance between Europe and the Orient. On the map it looks | like an easy undertaking to sail from Baffin’s bay to Bering strait, but | though often attempted, no vessel has | ever made it. | Should Capt. Amundsen succeed, he} will gain more applause by this feat | than for the location of the magnetic | pole, which will interest only scien- | tists. It was the attempt to discover this | passage which led to the loss of Sir John Franklin. All Americans know that the search for Sir John Franklin, which was par- ticipated in by Elisha Kent Kane of Philadelphia, was the beginning of American interest in Arctic research, as it was the beginning of renewed interest on the part of British explor- ers. Since the days of Franklin both Americans and British have achieved great things in the Arctic regions of the Western hemisphere, and a long | list of names, beginning with Ross and | ending with Peary, shows what the Anglo-Saxon has accomplished. | Amundsen, like Nansen, however, hopes to win for Norway the credit of doing what no other Arctic explorer | has done. He has first won the confi- | dence of the scientific world by his de- cision to spend the first two years in the Arctic region, until the spring of 1905, in studying phenomenon con- nected with the magnetic pole itself. This mysterious point in latitude 70.5 north and longitude 96.47 west has never been studied since the days of its discoverer, Sir James Ross. But, in addition to paying his respects to science by spending two years at the magnetic pole, as it were, Amundsen | will also satisfy those who like to see | exploring carried on with a certain dash and a spice of danger by attempt- ing in his cockleshell craft to make the northwest passage. Capt. Amundsen’s first stop will be at Godhaven, Greenland, but as his little boat only makes four knots it will be many days before it is heard from in Greenland waters. WARLIKE FISHERMEN. Destroy Whaling Property, Riot and Threaten Military. Norway is having a disagreeable ex- perience with the fisher folk. They have arrayed themselves against the whalers and riots have broken out in several places. Mehavn, near Var- do, has been the scene of a very seri- ous outbreak. A whaling station there was completely destroyed, entailing a loss of over 60,000 kroner. There were 1,500 men in the mob. Soldiers were sent from various places, but came too late to save the property of the whaling companies. The fisher- men have 400 rifles and defy the sol- diers, threatening to meet force with force if any attempt is made against them. The property of the whalers at Skjotningberg, Oxfjord, Baadsfjord and many other places has been threat- ened. The government may be com- pelled to declare martial law in sev- eral places and to send a considerable military force before order can be re- stored. CABINET CHANGES. An Unknown Army Officer Gets a Port- f ¢ folio. Capt. Thomas Thomassen Heftye of the engineer corps has been offered the portfolio cf Minister Stang. Ko- now’s successor was not appointed at last accounts. Minister Heftye will have charge of the national defenses. Minister Knudsen will take charge of the finance department and tempora- rily of the agricultural department. Minister Sunde will become a mem- ber ‘of, the Norwegian state depart- ment at Stockholm. Capt. Hefitye was born in 1860. He was intended for a banker, but eventu- ally went into the army and received his commission in the engineers in 1887. Mission Friends Growing. The Swedish Mission Covenant in Sweden celebrated this year-its quar- ter centennial. In twenty-five years the Covenant has grown to 1,102 con- gregations with 84,602 members; 421 young people’s societies, with 15,736 members, and 2,325 Sunday schools, with 105,690 children enrolled. It has 1,170 churches, valued’ at 7,633,813 kroner, and raised last year 1,655,281 kroner for various purposes. Explore Congo Country. Lieut. J. F. V. Stockel of the Danish artillery bas been selected by the Bel- gian finance department to lead an ex- ploring expedition to Southern Congo, particularly to Katanga. Lieut. Stock- el is engaged for two years and will have sufficient men and means to make a thorough exploration. His particu- lar mission is to search for gold and precious stones. Lieut. Stockel served three years in Africa and distinguished himself by energy and ability in his manifold duties. | and Eide, Frau Dybroad and Director Snoilsky’s Posthuminous Works. Count Snoilsky died so suddenly that he was unable to complete his later literary works. Although he had aban- doned poetry for ten years, his widow says that he left several poetical com- Pilations, mostly personal in charac- ter. Whether these will ever be published is still undecided. In later years he had occupied his time in translations of the works of Byron, Swinburne and other English writers, and also in original dramas. Whether these are in shape to be published is still unknown. Sweden Enjoys Jorsalfar. Stockholm and Sweden’s most prom- inent people attended the opening per- formance of the Norwegian National Theater company at Stockholm. It was a veritable gala perfprmance. The play was Bjornson’s “Siguard Jorsal- far,” which was followed with the greatest interest. Grieg’s music also secured lively applause. Fahlstrom Bjornson were recalled time and again before the curtain. Bobrikoff’s Pleasantries. Bobrikoff continues to find new methods for humiliating the Finns. He has provided that the notes of the Bank of Finland shall be printed in St. Petersburg. The sale of firearms, am- munition and explosives is prohibited, and shooting tournaments are not to be held except through permission of the authorities. Four well-known offi- cials, mostly in judicial capacities, have been deprived of their positions. Long Career of Crime. Denmark’s greatest thief is now be- ing dealt with by the authorities. He is Andreasen, who made a specialty of jewelry. Not long ago he plundered a goldsmith’s shop, making a clean sweep. For fourteen years he was able to evade the police. Andreasen was also a counterfeiter and passed large quantities of Swedish and Dan- ish notes. Enough crimes have been traced to him to keep him in prison for the remainder of his natural life. Place for Pultowa Statue. The monument which some enthusi- astic Swedes wished to raise on the battlefield of Pultowa, where the Swedes were defeated by the Russians, will be raised at the artillery grounds in Stockholm, surely a more appropri- ate place. The heroes who fell in that bloody battle deserve a monument, but not on a Russian’s field of victory. Norsk Socialists. The Norwegian Socialists recently held their seventeenth annual conven- tion in Christiania. There were 132 delegates in attendance. The party has 256 branches in various parts of the country and lays claim to 13,500 members. Sven Mattson and C. Jep- pesen were elected as chairmen of the meetings. Famine Teaches Lesson. Norbotten has recently been blessed with the best kind of weather and the formers are unusually optimistic. The bitter lessons learned from the late famine are bearing excellent results, as the farmers are not only more in- dustrious, but are diversifying their crops. A good crop is confidently ex- pected. New Canal in Sweden. Major G. Hammerstrom, who has been working for four years on a pro- ject to cut a canal from Lake Vernon to Mocketu, estimates that it will cost 4,135,000 kroner to complete the work. It will be about thirty-three miles long and will be a valuable improvement for that section of Sweden. Bergen’s Strike. At last accounts the serious strike of the iron workers at Bergen was in process of settlement. -A proposition for an increase in wages was submit-| ted. The men expressed themselves | as willing to accept the scale, but the} strike committee asked for a few days’ time in which to consider the sub- ject. Swede From Esthonia. Hans Pohl of Mucko, in Esthonio, where Swedes have lived since the early ages, has come to Sweden to study sloyd. It is his intention to re- turn to Esthonia to introduce manual | training among his countrymen, who still preserve the Swedish language and customs. Churchman Abandons Politics. Bishop Billing, an influential mem- ber of the Swedish riksdag, announces that he will abandon politics and give up his seat in the riksdag. The bish- op announces that the affairs of his diocese will oceupy his entire atten: tion since Dr. Sjogren has retired from his position. Effects of Misfortune. “Didn’t the loss of all your money drive you to drink?” “No.. Only to“thirst. from drink.” It Kept’ me Set Him to Thinking. They had teen talking as they walked. She had remarked pathetic. ally: “Oh, it must be terrible to a’ man to be rejected by a woman!” \ Then, after a while, with sympathct. ic disingenuousness, she exclaimed: “Indeed it must!” was his response. “It doesn’t seem that I could ever have the heart to do it.” And there came a silence between | them as he thought it over—Brown | } ing’s Monthly. Miss Gannon, Sec’y Detroit Amateur Art Association, tells young women what to do to avoid pain and suffering caused by female troubles. “Dear Mrs. Pryxaam:—I can conscientiously recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters suffering with female weakness and the troubles which so often befall women. I suf- fered for months with hard work to keep up. neral weakness, and felt so weary that ; had shooting pains, and was utterly miserable. I had In my distress I was advised to use Lydia E.

I felt so elated and happy I want all women who suffer to get well as I did."—Miss Gurna ab. ANNON», 859 Jones St., Detroit, Mich., Secretary Amateur Art Association. * It is clearly shown in this young lady’s letter that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will certainly cure the sufferings of women; and when one considers that Miss Gannon’s letter is: only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually ; publishing in the newspapers of this country, <g , the great virtue of Mrs. Pinkham’s medicine must be admitted by all; and for the absolute eure of all kinds of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear this important fact in mind when they go into- a drug store, and be sure not to accept anything that is claimed to be ‘‘ just as good” as E. Pinkham’s Vegetable no other medicine for female ills has made so» many actual cures.
