HARD TO BEAR. J. W. Walls, Super- intendent of Streets of Lebanon, Ky., living on East Main street, in that city, says: “With my nightly rest broken, owing to irregularities of the kidneys, suffering intensely from severe pains in the small of my back and through the kidneys, and annoyed by painful passages of abnormal secretions, life was anything but pleasant for me. No amount of doctoring relieved this con- dition, and for the reason tnat nothing seemed to give me even temporary re- lief I became about discouraged. One day I noticed in the newspapers the case of a man who was afflicted as I was and was cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. His words of praise for this remedy were so sincere | that on the strength of his statement I went to the Hugh Murrey Drug Co.’s store and got a box. I found that the medicine was exactly as powerful a | kidney remedy as represented. I ex- perienced quick and lasting relief. Doan’s Kidney Pills will prove a bless- ing to all sufferers from kidney disor- ders who will give them a fair trial.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid- ney medicine, which cured Mr. Walls, will be mailed to any part of the United States on application.

That an apparently ignorant and! certainly ill-dressed fruit vendor may be endowed with a keen sense of hu- mor is evident from a story told by Augustus Van Wyck of a man near his residence from whom he tried te purchase some chestnuts. “Have you any nice fresh chestnuts this morning?’ ‘asked the ex-judge of the son of sunny Italy. “No 'Merican nutties, got Etalian | chesnutta,” answered the man in al- most unintelligible English. “But I want the regular old Ameri- can chestnuts, not the foreign variety,’ said Judge Van Wyck. At this a broad smile spread over the face of the foreigner, in delightful anticipation of the witticism he was about to perpetrate. “Ah, meester,” he answered, with a bow, “you mus’ go for zat kin’ to Meester Shauncey Deepew.”—Phila- delphia Public Ledger. yo. Faith in Franklin. In the middle of the severe electrical storm of a recent Sunday afternoon a reserve policeman at Ninth and Chest- nut streets found a young negro boy shivering and wet to the skin, clinging to the base of the Franklin statue in front of the postoffice building. The street was deserted by everybody else. The policeman went up to the lad and asked him why he was standing out in the rain.

CONSUMES MANY HIDES. ‘Ynteresting Report of a Great Manu. 1 facturing Establishment, j AWhat becomes of the thousands of ‘iides gathered together annually in this yountry, and how are they consumed? ‘This question may come to the minds jof many stock raisers, but few have any conception of the dally requirements of a single great modern institution like the Mayer Boot & Shoe Company of Milwau- ee. This concern made into shoes last r the hides of 287, 4 animals, as fol- 1,492 cows, 38,952 co 46,620 sheep, 1,740 horses, If all these ani- mals were placed in single file it would ke one continuous line, 273 miles long, er about the distance from Chicago to St. Louis. The number of animals re- quired to supply the hides for each work- tng day, if lined up at the Mayer fac- tory every morning, would reach almost a mile. ‘The Mayer factory has a capacity of 6.000 pairs of shoes per day. It is located in the greatest leather market in the world, and gets the first selection of hides, which is largely responsible for riority of Ma: hoes and the al satisfaction to the vast of people who wear, and insist upon being supplied with, shoes bearing the Mayer trade mark. Cause and Effect. It was in the parlor of a South Broad street boarding house that a new boarder started to leave the par- | lor the other evening just as a young lady began playing her fourteenth se leetion on the piano. “You look exhausted,” said one of | the boarders. “Yes,” said the new boarder, “I’m played out.’”"—Public Ledger. fl Deafness Cannot be Cured. by loc plications ae they cannot reach the dis. exsed poction of the ear.

Curious Relic of the Past Still Stands in That City. Hardly the world over could there be found a tree which has come into more intimate connection with tho youth desirous of success in life than the curious iron tree of Vienna. For in the old days, when it was the custom of every apprentice who had attained to some degree of proficiency in his trade to bid farewell to family and friends and get out on foot to seek his fortune, he went before leaving the city and drove a nail into this tree’s trunk. Should the nail drive straight, the act was regarded as especially omi- nous of success, and that his road over difficuuies would prove smooth, but when it bent or broke in the driv- ing the face of the apprentice turned suddenly awry, he believing that either he would fail utterly in life or that success would only come to him late and through most difficult channels. In the remnant of the tree which now remains so many nails have been driven that not a vestige of its original wood can be seen. Literally its surface is hard as nails, while thé community of those it presents is one heterogeneous, fairly striving with each other for place and prominence. WAS NOT MUCH TOTELL. Simple Descrintion of Hog’s Lament- able Decease. “Private” John Allen is responsible for this one: Last year there were a number of ¢flaims for damages brought against one of the railroads in Mississippi by the farmers in a certain county of that state. These claims arose out of the fact that many hogs had been killed by the trains of the railroads in ques- tiou. A mixed commission was formed of railroad men and others to deter- mine the equity of these claims, Among others questioned by this com- mission was an old darky who claimed to have been an eye-witness of the an- nihilation of one hog. Said the Chairman of the commis- sion to Zeph: “Tell us, in as few words as pos- sible, how this hog was killed.” Old Zeph shifted a huge cud of to- bacco from one cheek to the other, cleared his throat, and then replied: “Well, sah,” said he, “as nearly as I kin make it out, it was dis way: De train tooted and den tuk him!” NOT UP ON THE FASHIONS. Society Man Was Surprised at High- wayman’s Ignorance. George Davis, a member of ‘one of Baltimore’s old families, and one of the ushers at the wedding oc the Earl of Yarmouth and Miss Alice Thaw at Putsburg last spring, bas ‘recently been visiting in Denver. ‘He was re- turning to his hotel froma dinner par- ty when he was held up ‘by footpads. They went through his pockets and were much disappointed ‘at ‘the results —35 cents. “Where is your watch?’ demanded one of the robbers, gruffly. “My watch!” exclaimed avis, with s highly cultivate€ English accent. “von’t you know, my dear'‘fellow, that it is beastly bad form ‘to wear a watch with evening clothes. You-cannot be up on the fashions.” “Go on with yer fashions,” drawled the robber. “Give us ‘them pearl studs.” Taking hem roughly out of his immaculate shirt front they went their way.—New York Times. A Plague of Mosquitoes. A corresponaent from Sioux Falls, S$. D. tells this story. He says For a tew hours an evening or two ago the residents of Toronto, 8. D., had reason to believe a section of New Jersey had temporarily been moved to South Dakota. Without the slight- est warning a dense cloud of mosqui- toes settled over the town, and for a brief period were practically in com- plete possession. ‘There were billions of the insects, and they fairly swarm- ed about the electric lights and in front of every building from which a light shone through the doors and windows. Great numbers of the pests were destroyed by men and boys light- ing newspapers and burning them. The next morning the sidewalks were covered with dead mosquitoes.” i An Unanswerable Conundrum. The thoughtful querist was thought- | ful, and so they knew there was | trouble ahead. “Why is it, he asked at length, “that a woman who has trotted her daughter all over Europe in an effort to marry her to what she considers an eligible man—a woman who has de- voted her whole time and her whole mind to throwing out nets—will weep bitter tears at the altar when her ef: forts are crowned with success and sne has disposed of her daughter in ac- cordance with the plans she has made and hes struggled so hard to carry out?” But no one felt competent to answer the question.

Ladies of Ohio, writes from Galion, O., “After my first child was born I suffered for several months with Searing down pains accompanied by dreadful headaches. my health was ruined for life, and felt very downcast about it. when a friend was visiting me she told me of Peruna and what it had done for her when she suffered with procured a bottle the same evening and | began to take it daily according to directions. Before the first botte was used I was entirely well, and you certainly have one grateful woman’s blessing. I have also advised amy friends to use it.’’ Secretary Woman’s State Federa- tion Says; “‘Pe-ru-na Does More Than is Claimed for it.” Mrs. Julia M. Brown, Secretary of the Woman's State Federation of California. writes from 13i}4 Fifth St., Los Angeles, Cal., as follows : “T have never known of any patent med- icine which did what it professed to do ex- cept Peruna, This remedy does much more than it claims, and while I have never ad- vocated any medicine, I feel that it is but Protected Home Circle and Catholic as follows : I was afraid One day irregular menstruation.

I have known of cases of chronic catarrh which were cured in a short time, whenadozen different remedies had been experimented with and without good results. Luse it myself when I feel nervous and worn out, and I have always found that the results were most satisfac- HER GREAT FORTUNE. A Woman Saved From Life-Long Misery and Made Happy and Useful. A woman confined to the hoxse for sev~ eral years with a chronic female derange- ment had finally given up hope of being cured. She had tried physician after physician, and remedy after remedy, without any per- manent improvement, Her treatment had cost her husband, who was a poor man, hundreds of dollars. They had been obliged to deny themselves many comforts of life in order to get money enough to pay the physicians. The woman had become weak, nervous and wretched, and scarcely able to keep out of her bed. Her children were grow- ing up neglected and ragged because of the want of a mothér’s care. Her husband was becoming discouraged and broken down with overwork. Picking up the paper one day she hap- pened to read an item which contained the news that Dr. Hartman would treat such cases free of charge by letter. She imme- diately wrote the doctor describing her case, and giving him all her symptoms. She soon received a letter telling her ex- actly what to do, and what medicines and appliances to get. She began the treat- ment (the principle remedy being Peruna) at once, afid in a few weeks she was well and strong again, able to do her own work. This offer of free home treatment to wom- en is still open to all who may need the serv- ices of this eminent physician. All letters applying for treatment will be promptly answered, and be held strictly confidential. Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas of Yemassee Council of Red Men (Women's Branch), writes from 872 Eighth Ave, New York: “Three months ago I was troubled with backache anda troublesome heaviness about the stomach, Sleep brought me no rest for it was arestless sleep. ‘The doctor said my nervous system was out of order but his pre- scriptions didn’t seem to relieveme. I was told that Peruna was good for building up | the nervous system. After using it for two months I know now thatitis. Iwant tosay that it made a new woman of me. The tor- turing symptoms have all disappeared and I feel myself again. Perunadid me more good than all the other medicines I have taken."* ANNIE HOBAN. Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles, Lou- isiana, write “I sincerely believe that Peruna is wom- an’s best friend, forit has certainly been that tome, I had had headaches, backaches and other aches every month for along time, but shortly after I began taking Peruna this was athing of the past, and I have good reason to begrateful. I take a bottle every spring and fall now, and that keeps my health perfect, and I certainly am more robust now than I have been before and am weighing more. I do not think anyone will be disappointed in the Its obtained from the use of Pe- runa."" MISS MAMIE POWELL.
