MISS GENEVIVE MAY. CHTARRA OF STOMACH GURED BY PE-RU-NA. Miss Genevive May, 1317 S. Meridian St., Indianapolis, Ind., Member Second High School Alumni Ass'n, writes: «‘Peruna is the finest regulator of a disordered stomach I have ever found. it certainly deserves high praise, for it is skillfully prepared. “I was in a terrible condition from a neglected case of catarrh of the stomach. My food had long ceased to be of any good and only distressed me after eating. I was nauseated, had heartburn and headaches, and felt run down completely. But in two weeks after I took Perunal was a changed person. A few bottles of the medicine made a great change, and in three months my stomach was cleared of catarrh, and my entire system in a better condition. jenevive May.

Uncle Ned pretended to be provoked, but of course he was not really, and the children knew it. “Well, what shall it be this time?” he demanded. “Tell ug a story about the Fourth of July,” cried John. “Oh, yes, do Uncle Ned,” echoed the others. For a minute or two Uncle Ned rummaged around in his memory. “I will tell you about a time in 1853,” he said. “I was at Funchal, the cap- ital city of Maderia island, one of the paradises of the earth. My father, your granduncle,-had gone there for his health, and with my mother we were invited to spend the Fourth with Mr. Marsh, the American consul. “My recollection is also that it hap- pened to be the day of a solemn Port- uguese function. Mary, queen of Portugal, was dead and her son was succeeding her. The consulate build- ing fronted on the beautiful public Square, where a catafalque had been erected. “The Portuguese official procession was headed by-a functionary—a sort of officer—who carried a big silver ax. On approaching a crown set on top of the catafalque he cleft the crown in twain, and exclaimed: “The queen is dead, long live the king!” Bells were tolling, minuie guns were firing from forts on the harbor and the land fortress. All was deepest mourning, flags were half-mast and draped, and no sounds of music were heard. “The consulate driveway, the build- ing standing back, was entered under an arch, on which there was a bal- cony. From this vantage ground one could see across the plaza and down through a short street that led to the ocean side, giving a fine view of the shipping in the harbor. “The land and water scenery were magnificent. From the baleony I could reach out and touch a tempting bunch of bananas. Seemingly right form antl ad RECOLLECTIONS Evolution of the Fourth Ned had | opposite me in the harbor rode the United States frigate Constitution, her square, white )portholes looking like an immense checkerboard as she gently rose and fell on the waters. “Above her in the bright sunshine swayed the ‘Stars and Stripes.’ I had read the story of the gallant Hull, and how his ship, the Constitution, had captured the British frigate Guerriere, in the war of 1812, and as mother pointed out to me our flag over the frigate, and said: ‘My boy, that is our flag,’ I felt the strongest emotions of patriotism that ever came to me on a Fourth of July. “My feelings were the more excit- ed, as standing next! to my mother was the widow of Commander Hull, who, with her sisters, was making a trip on | the Constitution, the guest of the com- mander. So that was one fine Fourth I had, wasn’t it?” “I'd like to have been there and heard the shooting,” said John. “And see the feller smash the crown with the ax,” added Jim. “An me’d like to had ‘a banner,” said little Dot. “And I,” said Mary, the oldest, with dignity, “would have been most affect- ed by the spectacle of the glorious flag of freedom waving proudly from the grand old warship in the harbor.” “Well, they were each a part of the day,” said Uncle Ned, as he relit his pipe for the twentieth time, “and I shouldn't wonder but what it’s time for you all to run along now.” In the twenties of the last century | boldly off and watched for the ap- great preparations were made by the pioneers of southern Ohio for the Fourth of July celebration, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. In some in- stances an ox was roasted and people came for miles to the barbecue. At other times the “foremothers” provid- ed great flanks of venison and beef for the feast, with butters of apple and pumpkin, bread of wheat or rye —an agreeable change from the com- mon fare of cornbread—and pies by the quantity of all varieties known to the time. The men folks prepared speeches— those who could make them—their subjects being “King George the Third,” and “England's Tyrannical Policy.” Every man, woman and child congratulated themselves that they were living in the free wilds of Ohio rather than on England’s Isles. The reading of the Declaration of Inde- pendence was listened to with serious attention, the youngest children be- ings compelled to sit as quietly as though they were in church, Courted Then as Now. Young men in jeans pantaloons, with knitted wool “galluses” and cot- ton shirts with white linen bosoms finely handstitched, paid court to maidens in gowns of linen or tow, “hetcheled,” spun or woven by them- selves. The buggy-top calash modest- ly hid their faces from the ardent gaze of their country suitors. Fifes and drums furnished music for the occasion, the strains of “Yankee Doodle Come To Town,” with “Tippe- canoe and Tyler, too,” setting the proud pace for the heroes of 1812. Patriotism glowed warm in the twen- ties. Even as late as the fifties and six- ties the Fourth of July was taken seri- ously. Sunday school picnics had come into vogue, and there was a mingling of religion, patriotism and fun. Brass bands played “The Star Spangled Banner,” “Marching Through Georgia,” and “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground.” The war of the Re bellion overshadowed the war of the Revolution, and there was a new theme for speeches. Sunday school children interspersed the speeches with their favorite hymns. The “Callithumpians.” The Declaration. of Independence was read as formerly, but was listen- ed to only by conservative elders who bore remnants of the New England conscience. The young people instead of sitting decorously by, as bad the youths of the twenties, wandered proach of the band of “callithumpians” that was to furnish fun for the day. This band consisted of young men arrayed in brilliant costumes of blue, red or yellow cotton, much after the style of the circus clowns. Hideous masks were worn; and those who could not afford a .complete callithumpian outfit blackened their faces, donned false beards and turned their coats wrong side out. Their appearance pro- duced terror in the hearts of the chil- dren and set the hearts of the maid- ens expectantly fluttering. Who knew but what one’s fate lay hidden be hind one of these masks. Free lem- onade, furnished by the barret, was served in bright new tin cups to the calithumpians by the maidens, whose alluring endeavors to .elicit verbal thanks was in many cases but dumb- ly rewarded. Then Came Dancing. After the passing of the combina- tion Sunday school picnic and Fourth of July celebration the observance of the day took on a lighter character. With the Sunday school went the Dec- laration of Independence. The speak- ers’ platform was enlarged, smoothed and turned into a dancing pavilion. Instead of the patriotic fife and drum or the local brass band that gladly played for nothing came the orchesira that played for hire, and frivolous keeping time to music took the place of sedate listening to speeches among the young people. “Ice cool lemon- ade, made in the shade,” was distrib- uted only for profit, and not served free as in former days. As the country developed and wealth increased pyrotechnics and firecrackers took a leap to the fore. Torpedoes and toy pistols add to the interest of the day, and the Fourth of July has become a synonym of noise and fireworks. The more dangerous the noise or cause thereof and the more extensive and expensive the fire- works the better satisfied the cele- brators feel. Whether the feeling is one of patriotism is a question. It is also a question whether the Fourth of July celebration has evolved on the upward or downward grade, and whether the original import of the day has not altogether been lost to sight. ‘ Her Long Suit. “Our landlady,” said Appleton, ought to join the-navy in case we have another war.” i “What's the explanation?” his friend Pruneleigh. “She would make a hit when it came to repelling boarders,” replied Apple ton.—Chicago Daily News. queried Hardworking Newspaper Men. Mark Twain says that his average daily output of writing, ‘when he works, is 1,800 words a day. That is about the average day’s work of the newspa- per writer on a large daily paper, day in and day out, seven days a week. In the course of a year this amounts to 657,000 words. The ordinary novel contains about 100,000 words. The newspaper man writes enough to make a noyel of the best selling type every two months, with plenty left over at the end of the year to make a book of very respectable size., Let us suppose that he works at the business forty years; he has written 26,280,000 words, or 240 books.
