It not only strikes at the root of the malady, but it tones and strengthens the system in a truly wonderful way. That has been its history in my case. I cheerfully and unhesi- tatingly recommend it to those afflicted as I have been.”—F. 8. Davidson. TOR If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

One of His Lucid Intervals.” A visitor at a lunatic asylum noticed one of the inmates walking about the grounds pushing in front of him a wheelbarrow turned upside down.

Bostonian Relieves Brides’ Families of All Responsibilities. It appears that a wide-awake Bos- fonian is in a fair way to win wealth, if not fame, by a novel idea which she has in development. She undertakes, in consideration of a substantial sum, to supervise weddings and relieve the pride’s family of all the responsibilt ties involved on such occasions, thus insuring them from nervous break down. Everything from the decora tion of the house to the bridal trous. seau is intrusted to her care, nor does the bride-to-be have to wor about even the packing of her trunks, for the wedding director sees that every- thing is put carefully in her trunks and a complete inventory is taken in a little book, so that every article may be easily located. Now that weddings are to be made easy, there no longer will be any excuse for a bride to look worried and worn, as so many do at the ceremony, for by this woman’s scheme brides may rival the lilies of the field in idleness and step to the altar as fresh and brightly blushing as possible. ew York Press. STRONGER THAN MEAT. A Judge’s Opinion of Grape-Nuts. A gentleman who has acquired a judicial turn of mind from experience on the bench out in the Sunflower State, writes a carefully considered opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food. He says: “For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts has been a prominent feature in our bill of fare. “The crisp food with the delicious, nutty flavor has become an indispensa- ble necessity in my family’s everyday life. “Jt has proved to be most healthful and beneficial, and has enabled us to practically abolish pastry and pies from our table, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and unwholesome food, “Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect physical condition—as a preventive of disease it is beyond value. I have been particvlarly impressed by the benefi- cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used by ladies who are troubled with face blemishes, skin eruptions, ete. It clears up the complexion wonderfully. “Ag to its nutritive qualities, my ex- perience is that one small dish of Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of meat for breakfast, which is an im- portant consideration for anyone. It satisfies the appetite and strengthens the power of resisting fatigue, wu.le its ‘use involves none of the disagree- able consequences that sometimes fol- low a meat breakfast.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There’s a reason. ‘ Sailors Have Sp Start Big Snappers Across Deck and Bet on Their Finish— Gambler Thinks Track Should Be Built for Them. “T have heard of horse races, bity- cle races, foot races, dog races, and a dozen different kinds of races, but never before in my long life have I heard of a turtle race,” mused Lem Fugle, the sage, philosopher and guide of the battery, yesterday afternoon, as he hung his feet over the stern of tie tugboat E. S. Booth, and puffed nonchalantly at the pipe of peace. “Yes,” he continued, “that is the story brought in by the steamship Queen Eleanor from Samarang and Aden. A friend o’ mine, who is a stoker on the Queen, told me they had a reg’lar Saratoga during the trip over. The sailors bet their money and when that was lost staked their dunnage on races between a score of big snapping turtles, which were brought over by the men simply to have a little sport with. “On the second day out the sailors dug out a half dozen of the monster Snappers and pasted numbers on their backs. Strong ropes were tied around the necks of the turtles, the bets were ort Racing Turtles * placed, and the snappers sailed away from the ‘post’ in a manner much similar to the way the horses leave the scratch line at a race track. “The after deck of the steamer was made a race track. There was a real bookmaker, and several dollars of real money changed hands. The heavy losers wailed and declared No. 3 or No. 6 was a dead one, and could not get around the track unless it was carried.” Lem Fugle refilled his pipe and looked wistfully at the entries in to- morrow’s races, carefully picking out the winners, and assuring the reporter what a “cinch” Mad Mullah would be “for show.” “I have gambled on every kind of race that has ever been run, with the exception of the turtle rage,” spoke the sage in a sorrowful tone, “and I think it is up to the sports of New York to build a track for racing the crust covered creatures. You can put me down on the list as a charter mem- ber of the Metropolitan Turtle Racing association,” said Mr. Fugle, and the tugboat E. S. Booth left her mooring at Pier No. 4, East river, and started down the bay for a tow.—New York American. Charles Wesley's Seven Thousand Hymns Founder of Church Indefatigable in His Sacred Writings—Com- menced at the Age of Twenty- nine. Wonder is always expressed and doubts arise when the statement is made that the Rev. Charles Wesley, a clergyman of the Church of England, actually wrote seven thousand hymns during his lifetime. This statement is verified by the publication over his own signature of thirty-nine books of poetry, sacred and secular. It is doubt- ful if there exists a hymn book adopt- ed by any religious denomination which does not contain several of his sacred songs. Thomas Moore wrote very few sa- cred songs, but of these few one stands out pre-eminent and will be sung till time be no more by the peo- ple of this whole earth. “This song, . that always reaches the heart, is “Come, Ye Disconsolate,” found in al- most every hymn book and never ac- credited to the author. The Rev. Charles Wesley must have been writing hymns all his life, and it is recorded of him that he wrote on horseback while traveling from place to place upon his duties in the church. In those days graphite pencils and flowing pens were un- known, and he wrote with a piece of soft lead he always carried with him on any old scrap of paper. He lived to be 80 years of age, and was born in 1708. The hymns of Dr. Watts come next in number to those of Charles Wes- Iey, namely, 697, but they mostly ap- pealed to children, although never for- gotten in later years. The fact is that Wesley commenced writing his sacred hymns at the age of 29. The Methodist hymn book in this country, as well as the Wesleyan hymn book in England, being so re- plete with the hymns of Charles Wes- ley is accounted for by the fact that both Charles and his brother John were clergymen of the Church of England, but John, taking exception to some part of the ritual of that church, went out to preach to the multitudes, and after he had organ- ized what his followers called the Wesleyan church his brother Charles joined him and wrote the hymns, to which were added the favorite hymns of other sacred writers. Was Down on Circumstantial Svideace * Man Arrested for Complicity in Bank Robbery Had Reasons for His Belief—Unfortunate in Love Affairs. “As to circumstantial evidences, it’s a queer thing,” said the man in the brown suit. “Five or six years ago I was in a certain town for a night when a bank was robbed. Next morning I was arrested as\an accom- plice, it being contended that I was seen idling in front of the bank and evidently acting as sentinel to those within. Three different persons iden- tified me as the man, and a fourth claimed to have seen me enter the hotel at a late hour by way of a shed and a window. I was locked up for examination, and with a chance of things going hard with me, when evi- dence began to come forward on my side. “The landlord asserted and swore that I was sitting in the office at 10 o'clock p. m. Two servants swore they saw me going to my room half an hour later. A man having rooms opposite the hotel swore that he saw me smoking at my window at mid- night. A guest of the hotel who had a room next to mine swore that my snores disturbed him from midnight till 2 o'clock and that he heard me turn over in bed at 3, and so I was honorably discharged from custody.” “But about it being queer?” was asked. “Why, all the people on both sides were mistaken. I was not outside the bank at the times named and neither was I in the hotel.” “But you were somewhere?” “Oh, of course. Fact is, I got mashed on the landlord’s daughter and we sat up all night in a balcony and talked love and looked at the moonlight. Yes, sir, sat there all night like a couple of idiots, and though I declared I would die for her and she said she only wanted me and a humble cottage, she was married to a red-haired butcher within a year and I was being sued by a_ snub-nosed widow for breach of promise. I was simply observing, you know, that cir- cumstantial evidence is a queer thing and I wish to add that a juryman shouldn’t be influenced too much by it.”—Tid-Bits. ——————eeeeeeeeeeeeeeOeeeeeaes eaves ee ees e@>See=eos—o=oseer eer Bereaved Husband ——- * His Wife Had Recently Died and He Was Seeking Congenial Society — English Newspaper Responsible for Story- At a sale of animals from a hippo- drome a tiger was being offered.

The owner of the an- imal, who had been eyeing the strang- er uneastly during the bidding, then went up to him and said: “Pardon me for asking the question, but will you tell me where you are from?” “From the country,” responded the man. “Are you connected with any show?” “No.” “And are you buying this animal for yourself?” The showman. shifted about for a Needed the Tiger few moments, looking alternately at the man and the tiger, evidently try- ing his best to reconcile the two. , “Now, young man,” he finally said, “you need not take this animal unless you want to, for there are those here who will take it off your hands.” “TI don't want to sell,” was the quiet reply. “What on earth are you going to do with such an ugly beast if you have no show of your own and are not buy- ing for someone who is a showman?” “Well, I'll tell you,” said the pur- chaser. “My wife died about three weeks ago.

A Duluth laborer who is something of a character in his way was sent out the other Way to dig a ditch from a street curb to a certain point in the yard. long to measure the distance.
