4 aa RESTORED TO HEALTH. THANKS TO PE-RU-NA, Friends Were Alarmed—, Advised Change of Climate. Miss Mildred Keller, 718 13th street, N. W., Washington, D. C., writes: “I ean safely recommend Peruna for eatarrh. I had it for years and it would respond to no kind of treatment, or if it did it was only temporary, and on the slightest provocation the trouble would come back. “— was in such a state that my friends were alarmed about me, and I was advised to leave this climate. Then I tried Peruna, and to my great joy found it helped me from the first dose I took, and a few bottles cured me. ‘It built up my constitution, I re- gained my appetite, and I feel that I am perfectly well and strong.”— Mildred Keller. We have on file many thousand testi- monials like the above. We can give our readers only a slight glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited endorsements Dr. Hartman is receiving. Yankee Inventiveness. In a little Massachusetts town lives a man who for two causes. enjoys ceathless local fame. For one thing, he is the only native of the place who bas been to Europe; and he, moreover, performed while there the ensuing feat, which the neighbors still recount with breathless admiration: While in Rome, the New Englander was shown a certain shrine before which burned a solitary taper. “That taper,” explained the guide in machine-built English, “that taper he has burned before this shrine seven hundred years. He a miraculous ta- Never he has been extinguish. seven long century that taper has miraculously burn before our shrine, and not once has he been—what you call it—‘put out.” The Yankee viewed the miracle candle in silence for a full minute. Then, leaning slowly forward, he ex- tinguished the flame with one mighty “puff.” Turning with a triumphant chuckle to the scandalized and speechless guide, he announced calmly: “Waal, it’s aout now!”—Lippin- cott’s. Back at Work Again. Buffalo, N. Y., May 22nd.—(Spe cial.)—Crippied by Kidney Disease till he could ngt stand on his feet for the hours required at his trade, F. R. McLean, 90 East Ferry St., this city, had to quit work entirely. Now he’s back at work again and he does not hesitate to give the credit to Dodd’s ‘Kidney Pills. “Yes,” Mr. McLean says, “I was too bad, I had to quit. I could not stand on my feet for the necessary hours. It was Kidney Disease I had, and a friend advised me to try Dodd's Kid- ney Pills. I did so, and after using six boxes am completely cured and am working as steadily as before I was sick. I recommend Dodds Pills to any one afflicted with Kidney trou- ble.” There is no form of Kidney Disease Dodd's Kidney Pilly will not cure. They always cure Bright’s Disease, the most advanced and deadly stage of Kidney Disease. Quite Regular. “The last time I say Gayley he wasn’t very—er—regular in his hab- its.” “Qh! he’s very regular now.” “Well, well, I didn’t think he’d ever reform.” ‘He hasn't. His habits are all bad now.” BUSINESS OPENINGS IN THE NORTHWEST. It seems to me that the man with a small capital can find no better opportunity for investment and for the establishment of a small business than jn some one of the many growing towns of the Northwest. The Great Northern Railway issues a booklet ‘Business Openings,’ which adequately and comprehensively de- scribes the needs of the many towns along its line and contains a detailed list of the business openings afforded the man with limited means as well as the big investor. I do not know of a section of the country which offers such limitless opportunities to the man” who is content to live in a new coun- try. The fact that in nearly every state-of the Northwest there is an available supply for almost every form of manufacture, offers to the manu- facturer a chance to operate close to the supply of raw material, 5 EES GOVERNMENT CLERK IN REMIN- ISCENT MOOD. Memories of Departed Personal Friends With Whom He Worked Crowd Memory of Old-Timer in His Noonday Strolls. Strolling along the corridors of the treasury building in an apparently dreamy and meditative mood, an old clerk, who admits that he has passed the time of life allotted to man by Dr. Osler, was accosted by a representa- tive of the Washington Star, who proffered the traditional penny for his thoughts. “Well,” said he, “I am thinking of the many men I have met in this building in my long career, and par- ticularly of three that I knew very well, and of whom almost every other person, at least everybody in Wash- ington, knew all about; but I knew them well, knew them personally. “The first of these,” he continued, “was Nathan Sargent. His nom de plume was ‘Oliver Oldschool.’ oft course you know that. His office when | he was commissioner of customs was on the floor above to the right of the center of the building from Fif- teenth street. One of the courtliest of men, a thorough gentleman of the old school, as the term is—kind and geniai to all his subordinates. I can see him now,” he said, “ ‘In my mind’s eye, Horatio,’” he quoted, as the Star man evinced a disposition to get a glimpse of the old author himself. “Right here where we are standing,” the old clerk said, pointing at one of the rooms in the main corridor, “was Gen. Spinner’s office. I knew him personally also, and recollect when his office was moved into its more spacious quarters in the new north- ern wing of the building. That old guardian of the public moneys was everybody’s friend. Visitors to Wash- ington were always anxious to greet him, and they were gratified, for he was glad to meet strangers all the time. Lord, how the women in his bureau loved him, and the men also, for that matter. I was here when he came and here when he went. “There is another man that I met in a spiritual sense, as I take this pedes- trian exercise at almost every noon hour after I have disposed of my bread and cheese luncheon, and that was Walt Whitman, the poet. He was, like the others, my personal friend. He was not in this part of the build- ing, but in that section of the new southern wing allotted in those days to the attorney-general, when the de- partment of: justice had its local habi- tation under this roof. I remember when Whitman’s ‘Leaves of Grass’ grated too harshly upon the sensibili- ties of certain people, and he lost his place in one of the other departments. “There is no use in describing him to you. Everybody in the city knew Walt Whitman, but I only mention him as the third in the trio of ghosts I fancy I see in my little round of ex- ercise in these passages. “There are men in this department older than I am,” he concluded, “but I doubt if any of them enjoyed the close personal friendship of the three I have mentioned to you. “In those days we worked only until 3 o’clock in the afternoon,” he said with a sigh. “Now we peg away an hour and a half.later. Things have changed in a hundred ways; but time’s up—I must go back to my desk.” And thus the old employe of the reminiscent mood bade the Star man adieu. A Hangman’s Rope. The rope which was used to-day in the execution of John Henry Young is just an ordinary hemp rope, but a won- derful story of tragic interest would be revealed, could it but speak. Nine- teen times has one end been knotted atount the gallows beam, and nine- teen times has the noose been placed around the neck of a condemned crim- inal. This rope is the property of W. A. Stewart of Cleburne, ex-sheriff of Johnson county. Mr. Stewart had the rope made in St. Louis in 1898, to be used in the execution of John B. Shaw, a white man. The rope was made by a German and ,was hand- twisted, the very best quality of hemp obtainable being utilized in its manu- facture. The rope is eighteen feet long and cost Mr. Stewart $12.50. The noose made to go around the neck of Shaw has never been changed.—Hous- ton Post. Household Recipes.

GHUSTLY TRIO| Grandfather's Odd Habit Had Embar- rassing Consequences. “My grandfather had one curious habit,” said a Virginia woman. “He chewed the rag constantly. I don’t mean it in a figurative sense, either. I mean it literally. When he was about 50 the doctors persuaded him to give up the use of tobacco, and he used a rag instead. Grandmother used to cut wora-out tablecloths into little squares and lay them in a drawer ready for grandfather. When he was going out anywhere she tucked sever- al into his faistcoat pocket. He chew- ed from daylight till dark. Once grandfather and I went to the funeral of a great man here in town. Grand- mother was ill that day and forgot to tell me about the rags. We sat well up toward the front, and grandfather was no sooner seated than he put two fingers into his waistcoat pocket. No rag. He searched through all his pockets, one after the other. No rag anywhere. He began to wriggle about in his seat uneasily. He was in mis- ery with nothing to wriggle his jaws on. The service went on, and when the choir rose to sing I saw one of grandfather’s hands disappear under his waistcoat. His eyes were fixed on the choir and he looked determined. There was a fartissimo burst of mu- sic, and then, in the moment of abso- lute stillness which followed, every- body heard something tear. Grand- father turned a vivid purple, but when he raised his head after the prayer a little later, his jaws were at work.”— RAILROADS AND PROGRESS. In his testimony before the senate committee on interstate commerce at Washington on May-4, Prof. Hugo R. Meyer of the Chicago university, an expert on railroad management, mad6é this statement: “Let us look at what might have happened if we had heeded the pro tests of the farmers of New York and Ohio and Pennsylvania (in the 70’s, when grain from the west began pour- ing to the Atlantic seaboard), and acted upon the doctrine which the in- terstate commerce commission has enunciated time and again, that no man may be deprived of the ad- vantages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical position. We could not have west of the Mississippi a population of millions of people who are prosperous and are great con- sumers. We never should have seen the years when we built 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway, for there would have been no farmers west of the Mississippi river who could have used the land that would have been opened up by the building of those railways. And if we had not seen the years when we could build 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway a year, we should not have to-day east of the Mississippi a steel and iron produc- ing center, which is at once the mar- vel and the despair of Europe, because we could not have built up a steel and iron industry if there had been no market for its product. We could not have in New England @ great boot and shoe industry; we could not have in New England a great cotton milling industry; we could not have spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio man- ufacturing industries of the most di- versified kinds, because those indus- tries would have no market among the farmers west of the Mississippi river. And while the progress of this country, while the development of the agricultural west of this country, did mean the impairment of the ag- ricultural value east of the Mississippi river, that ran up into hundreds of millions of dollars, it meant incident- ally the building up of great manu- facturing industries that added to the value of this land by thousands of millions. of dollars. And, gentlemen, those things were not foreseen in the '70’s. The statesmen and the public men of this country did not see what part the agricultural development of the west was going to play in the in- dustrial development of the east. And you may read the decisions of the interstate commerce commission from the first to the last, and what is one of the greatest characteristics of those decisions? The continued inability to see the question in this large way. The interstate commerce commis- sion never can see anything more than that the farm land of some farm- er is decreasing in value, or that some man who has a flour mill with a pro- duction of fifty barrels a day is be- ing crowded out. It never can see that the destruction or impairment of farm values in this place means the building up of farm values in that place, and that that shifting of values is a necessary incident to the indus- trial and manufacturing development of this country. And if we shall give to the interstate commerce commis- sion power to regulate rates, we shall no longer have our rates regulated on the statesmanlike basis on which they have been regulated in the past by the railway men, who really have been great statesmerf, who really have been great builders of empires, who have had an imagination that rivals the imagination of the greatest poet and of the greatest inventor, and who have operated with a courage and dar: ing that rivals the courage and dar- ing of the greatest military general. But we shall have our rates regulated by a body of civil servants, bureau crats, whose besetting sin the world over is that they never can grasp @ situation in a large way and with the grasp of the statesman; that they never can see the fact that they are confronted with a small evil; that that evil is relatively small, and that it cannot be corrected except by the creation of evils and abuses which are infinitely greater than the one that is to be corrected.” _ her Discovered Proof of Its Existence, “Woman's curiosity,” said Mr. Fletcher, “is a quality of the mind be- yond all human understanding.” Yes?” said Mrs. Fletcher. “What made you think of that.” Then, ac- cording to the New York Press, Mr. Fletcher gave this explanation of his profound and highly original remark. “The actions of a woman I saw down town to-day,” he said. “She fol- lowed a man ten blocks just to read a placard that was fastened on his back. She spotted him at Thirty- fourth street. That was really the end of her trip, I feel sure, from some- thing she said to another woman, who was too fat to join in the chase. But when she caught sight of that flaming red poster tied to the man’s back, her curlosity got the better of her, and she set out after him. “He led her quite a chase, across town and down town and half-way back to Thirty-fourth street, but she never weakened. She tagged faithfully along in his wake and finally got close enough to read that notice. Mrs. Fletcher reflected a moment. “What did it say?” she asked. “It advised her to get her teeth pulled somewhere on Sixth avenue.” Mrs. Fletcher thought again. “Where were you all the time she was trying to find that out.” “Me?” said Fletcher. “Oh, I was following the woman. I wanted to see if she finally caught up with the man.” COUNTERFEIT EASY TO SEE. Reflection of Light Pointed It Out to Expert. “We have a man in this office,” re- marked one of the officials of the treasury department the other day, “who is without a peer anywhere in the country when it comes to spotting a counterfeit coin. His faculty for tell- ing the spurious product has been de- veloped to a remarkable degree. He gave an illustration of his skill the other day. On that table in the cor- ner there were piled up a couple hun- dred half-dollars. Apparently they were all sound and genuine speci- mens from the government mint. Our expert walked into the room, and, giving one glance at the pile of halves, twenty-five feet distant, he quietly re- marked: “ «There's stack.’ “He then stepped up to the table and pulled a coin from out of the middle of the pile. It was tested and found to be spurious. I asked the man to tell how he discovered the counterfeit. “By the reflection of the light,’ he replied. ‘The rays cast from that coin were wholly different from those sent out by the other pieces. That coin stood out as distinctly from the rest as a blood-red poppy in a field of white roses.—”Brooklyn Eagle. a counterfeit in that Benny on the Grizzly Bear. ‘The grizzly bear is a large and awkward animal, with long hair and an unpleasant disposition. He is fond of honey and sheep, and will attack man if pressed by hunger. When you meet a grizzly bear the best way is to turn aside with great speed unless he is in a cage. But.if he comes at you, and you have a gun loaded with real bullets, you can offer a silent prayer and shoot. That is what my grandfather used to do, except that he did not offer the silent prayer. He was not that kind. Once there was a man who went out to hunt a grizzly bear and did not come back. The ed- itor put it in his paper that the man had found the bear, but I don’t think the editor knew anything about it. We should be careful to tell the truth and lead a good life, if we want to be rich and respected. The grizzly bear will also eat peanuts, and when he is enraged he emits growls with great fierceness.—“Benny,” in Chicago Trib- une. “1 Will Lift Up Mine Eyes.” I will lift up mine eyes, The earth shafl not enthrall me! I will go forth with God ‘Wherever He shall call me; The muddy ways are low, I will attempt the mountains, And drink the purer streams Of the eternal fountains. Care drags the spirit down. But eyes by faith uplifted Over stony ways can climb. And see the hard rocks rifted The higher airs are pure, ‘The breezes aid endeavor; Give me the upward path ‘That ends in joys for ever? Along the higher ways Are treasures to inherit, Great thoughts of God and life, The graces of the Spirit. The peace of those who trust, Rest-places for the weary, And comrades going home With hearts-and voices cheery. My help comes from the hills, The nills of God above me; He dwells among the heavens, And He will always love me. He bids my soul ascend, His angels’ voices call me; I will lift up my eyes, The earth shall not enthrall me. —Marianne Farningham. © The Wit of Women. ¥ Senator Depew, at a dinner in Washington, was praising the wit of women. “Against this wit,” he said, “we men are powerless. Even when all the right and logic of an argument is on our side, woman, with all her wit, will nine times out of ten put us to shame. “Thus. a man once found that his wife had bought a few puffs of false hair. This displeased him. He hid in the hall one day, and just as the lady was fixing the false puffs upon her brow, he darted in upon her. “‘Mary,’ he said, reproachfully, ‘why do you put the hair of another woman on your head?’ “why, his wife answered, ‘do you put the skin of another calf on your hands?’”—Cincinnati Enquirer. The Young Physician, ‘WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED. In the early sixties it was usually the duty of a practicing physician to ride many miles .every By on his regular round of visits upon his patients. In those nee @ young man who had received a splendid medical training in one of the best medical colleges of that day was ac- customed to ride ten, twenty or thirty miles or more visiting the sick and afflicted. His success was soon phenom- enal. Doctors and families called him for consultation to towns at considerable dis- tances by rail. One of his specialties was the cure of those distressing diseases of women. He had early discovered that by combining the vegetable extract of the following medicinal plants in just the right proportion without the use of alco- hol—his prescription invariably cured such cases. Later, in order to place this remedy before the public in a shape easily to be procured, he established a labora- tory at Buffalo, N. Y., where regularly qualified chemists were put in charge to accurately prepare his prescription and put it in shape for shipment to all parts of the United States. This remedy, which he named Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion, is not a “patent medicine” in the common acceptance of the term, but a tonic for women, and a regular physi-! clan's preseri | contains the fok- ! lowing non-alcoho! iS arententa: Lady’s Sli ( jum Pubescens’ Black ‘Cohosh (Clmnieiruga jbl Unicorn root (Chamalirium Lutewm), Blue Cohosh(Caulophylium Golden Seal (Hydrastis C ).

So uniform are the results which follow the use of this remarkable remedy, that it can be truly affirmed of “Favorite Pre- scription” that it always helps and almost always cures, Ninety-eight per cent. of the women who give this medicine a fair and faithful trial are cured and remain cured. It is a powerful invigorating tonic, im- parting health and strength in particular to the womb and its appendages. The local, womanly health is so intimately related to the general health that when diseases of the delicate womanly organs are cured the whole body gains in health and strength. For weak and sickly women who are “worn-out,” “run-down” or debilitated, especially for women who work in store, office or schoolroom, who sit at the typewriter or sewing machine. or bear heavy household burdens, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will prove a priceless benefit because of its health- restoring and strength-giving power.
