An Ohio Fruit Raiser, 78 Years Old, Cured of a Terrible Case After Ten Years of Suffering. Sidney Justus, fruit dealer, of Men- tor, Ohio, says: “I was:cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills of a severe case of kid- p ney trouble, of eight or ten years’ standing. “I suffered the most severe backache and other pains in the region of the kidneys. These were es- pecially severe when stooping SIDNEY JUSTUS. to lift anything, and often I could hardly straighten my back. The aching was bad in the daytime, but justas bad at night, and I was always lame in the morning. I was bothered with rheumatic pains and dropsical swelling of the feet. The urinary passages were painful, and the secretions were discolored and so free that often I had to rise at night. I felt tired all day. Half a box served to relieve me, and three boxes effected @ permanent cure.” A TRIAL FREE.—Adédress Foster- Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Clouds, purple as the hyacinths about to bloom, scurried up’and on—swiftly. A bunch of belated leaves, crisp and dry, in the great oak over the “office,” just across the lawn from the Great House, kept up noise enough for a goodly forest. Gen. Pelham stood at the office win- dow and listened to the crisp flutter ing of the few dry leaves overhead. Any hour and all weathers the gen- eral might be seen looking out that open window to the grave on the lawn where wild grass and bluets grew. The grave aiways seemed fresh and new to the general, though to the rest of the world it was forty years old. This afternoon his eyes tried to ted | avoid it, though custom kept them con- stantly turning toward it. “a*’ man should employ the best means,” the general mused aloud, “the best of means. Yes,” he mused, “every resource should be used for the pres- ent and for those in it——” Now the present always came and went from the general before he rec- ognized the guest, howbeit he was always politely acquiescent at a chance introduction. For himself, his heart beat in the past. For his grand- children his thoughts bore all on the future. ‘ “This widow Lamont”—the general walked with the light, alert tread of the military man back and forth from the window to his stout plantation home-made desk—“seems a cheerful soul; a woman of parts; a very pretty wit. Doubtless very pleasant eyes be- hind her glasses—ahem! A woman of wealth, of great wealth——” He handled the letters laid out on his desk, letters showing a very pretty wit. “Joscelyn Pelham”—he stopped short in his walking to and fro, and addressed himself in stern arraign- ment—‘“do I find you a seeker after paltry lucre? Do I find you marring man’s finest sensibilities——” But what are the antique sensibil- ities of age against the pressing ne- cessities of youth and the present? “But—those children—Edith, so like her’—an involuntary turn to the open window-—“her grandchild—they are her grandchildren as well as mine——” Grandchildren! For that golden- haired darling of the twenty years out under the bluets. “Lamont? Lamont?” mused the gen- eraj. “I recall no statesman, no great deeds—ahem!—connected with that name—Lamont. Wealth, even great wealth without—somewhat of promi- nence—a name of honorable repute— perhaps is not by the discerning deemed wholly sufficient.” The old general, straightened to his full height. “The advantage—expediency—might not be all upon one side. Expediency! Adjustment! Faugh! Miserable words. Let a name, widely and creditably known—ahem!” With that he reached to the row of encyclopedias above his desk. He chose out that stout leather volume XVII; “Pag-Pug.” Turning the leaves midway, read- ing: “Pelham, Joscelyn, Gen. B. 18s— (ahem!) Led famous charge, etc., (reading)—splendid military achieve- ments, etc.” Replacing the volume—“A line— three lines—only. But, then—who to- day has three lines in the American Universal? Many a better man, per- haps, has not. True! Every resource for them—for her grandchildren as well as mine. “And to-night she comes, the widow Lamont, to visit us here at Prairie Lodge. And to-morrow unless—per- foreclosure of Prairie Lodge’s mortgage will be advertised. Every resource—” He touched up his white hair and mustache before the tiny mirror that hung on the office wall, and stepped lightly across from the office to the house. * * * . * “And so, Edith,” the old man seated himself stiffly, but elegantly, near the crackling wood blazes; “and so the widow Lamont is to come this even- ing.” “The widow Lamont, as we and the world have long called her,” with a ripple of laughter, “is already here, by Martha Youn, | and, oh, dear grandpapa, you don’t know how I hope you will love her.” “Love her!” Were his secret designings penetrat- ed? Were these with the callousness of youth hurrying him to the sacrifice? Stop. No gentleman would so desig- nate it—the expedient adjustment. “Yes, dear grandpapa, for she says she has already learned to love you—” “Bless my soul!” The old command- er sprang from his chair. This was courtship approached along no dally- ing path, but pressed on by short marches. “From your kind letters, grandpapa, she already longs to be, indeed, one of us—” “Mercy upon us!” The general, bold leader that he was, was nigh ready to call a retreat. “Yes, dear grandpapa,” Edith laid a@ persuasive hand on the old man’s arm, “and now the widow Lamont de- clares that only your sanction is need- ed for her joyously to put aside all mourning weeds and appear before the world as—Mistress Joscelyn Pelham!” “Just heaven!” The bold brigadier, who had never quailed before the fiercest onslaught of the foe, blanched ees before such unconditional surren- er. “Tell me, Edith,” the general plead- ed nervously, “does she greatly show her age? Or,” mustering all his met- tle, “is she well-preserved, and—” The good general tried over his shoulder to take a view in the long parlor mirror of the still excellent contour of his erect back, “Oh, grandpapa! Grandpapa! you do make me laugh!” Who could blame the unintentional thoughtlessness of youth? “Dear grandpapa,” Edith clasped her hands about his arm and paced the rug with him, “she has no age to speak of—” “How?” young?” There must be no immolation of youth, beautiful youth. “She was married only at the death- bed of Mr. Lamont, at his earnest pleadings. She is none other than my old playmate. Do not start so vio- lently, dear grandpapa! Lulu Carree. She learned something of the mort- gages on our old home and she de- termined to help us, if permitted, with her surplus wealth. And just then chance brought about renewal of old acquaintance; she met brother Josce- lyn, his company being encamped near the city of her residence. A childish fancy reawakened and grew into love. I have learned all this from herself just a half hour ago, and—the widow Lamont has now become Mistress Jos- celyn Pelham, Junior!” “Junior! Ah-h-h! Do I understand you to say—Junior?” “Yes, dear grandpapa—what else could she be? Wife of our Capt. Josce- lyn Pelham, Jr.—and the office,always your sanctum sanctorum, is to be yours still. The old home—the grave” —she whispered; she had never men; tioned it to him before, and he had thought these young people, with the usual unconcern of youth, had never noticed how often, how always, his eyes strayed there. “All, dear grand- papa, will remain yours, ours, wn- changed—” “My dear child!” Then he stopped midway the hearth- rug and faced her sternly. “But can you tell me that to do all this there has been no considering—of expedient adjustment—faugh! Miserable words!” “None. None. Each loved the other in childhood. They met, they renewed their love before Joscelyn knew of Prairie Lodge’s mortgages, and— grandpapa, here they come from their walk about the Cape Jessamine Circle. And, grandpapa, she wishes, she says, to be your—you know what day this is —your valentine!” “Bless my soul! A valentine? And at my age!” cried the general, and with unctuous relief he reached out his old arms to greet with unmarred satisfaction—Mistress Joscelyn Pel- ham, Jr. Later, when the talk was the gayest and the laughter was merriést, Gen. Pelham slipped out, unseen he fiatter- ed himself, (somewhat of insensibility belongs to and becomes youth), to the grave where the thin grass and the bluets grew, for a tender go0d-night thought for the golden-haired lassie of forty years ago—New York Times.

Ministers of All Denominations Join In Recommending Pe-ru-na to the People. Public speaking especially exposes the throat and bronchial tubes to catarrhal affections. Breathing the air of crowded assem- blies, and the necessary exposure to night’ air which’ many ers: must face, makes catarrh especially prevalent among their class. Peruna has become justly popular among them. i ye Listor LL SALSEY. Dees The Friends of Pe-ru-na. Despite the prejudices of the medica] profession against proprietary medi- eines, the clergy have always main- tained a strong confidence and friend+ ship for Peruna. They have discovered by personal ex- perience that Peruna does all that is claimed for it. The Bishop's Strong Tribute to Pe-ru-na. L. H. Halsey, Bishop C. M. E. Church, Atlanta, Ga., writes: “I have found Peruna to be a great remedy for catarrh. / have suffered with this terrible disease for more than twenty years, until since I have been using Peruna, which has relieved me of the trouble. “J have tried many remedies and spent a great dea) of hard-earned money for them, but I found nothing so effectual in the cure of catarrh as the great medicine, Peruaa. ««] feel sure that Peruna is not only a triumph of medical science, but it is also a blessing to suffering huma: nity. ‘“‘Every individual who suffers with respiratory diseases will find Peruna @ magnificent and sovereign remedy.”—L. H. Halsey, Bp. C. M. E. Church. Peruna is the most prompt and sure remedy for catarrh that can be taken. Many a preacher has been able to meet his engagements only because he keeps on hand a bottle of Peruna,ready to meet any emergency that may arise.
