If people knew how efficient
Peruna was in the cure of ca
tarrh they vould not hesitate to
try it I have all the faith in the
world in it as it cured me and
I have never known of a case
when the person was not cured

The Peruna Medicine Co Columbus Ohio
Gentlemen I cannot speak too highly of the value of Peruna
I believe thai I owe my life to its wonderful merits 1 suffered
with catanh of the head and lungs in its worst form until the
doctors fairly gave me up and I despaired of ever getting well
again
1 noticed your advertisement and the splendid testimonials
given by the people who had been cured by Peruna and
determined to try a dottle I felt but little better but used a
second and third bottle and kept on improving slowly
It took six bottles to cure me but they were worth a Kings
ransom to me I talk Peruna to all my friends and am a true
believer in its worth Airs Col E J Gresham

innovations the latest of the epoch
makers so to speak because it does
mark an epoch in road transportation
Ye call it a new thing but it is not
As early as 17G9 one hundred and
thirty four years ago Joseph Cugnot
a French artillery officer had a road
wagon in operation transporting artil
lery It was not a success but it set
an example which its successoi s of to
day are still prone to follow to wit it
ran away and butting into a stone
fence wrecked itself Rude road
wagons were also devised by English
men a few years later and one made
by Matthew Boulton partner of James
Watt frightened horse and people just
as others do in this day and genera
tion
In the year 3 751 eighteen years be
fore Cugnots wagon had appeared
Oliver Evans was born at or near the
little town of Newport in the little
state of Delaware Olivers father and
mother were thrifty people of the plain
sort who wanted their boy to become
a farmer and so he was apprenticed
but Olivers mind was on mechanics
especially on engines that could take
the place of horses in drawing wagons
and he left the farm and went home
to potter about a blacksmith shop just
around the corner from his house
In time by the aid of the blacksmith
he had constructed an engine model
that worked But he had no money
Wanted Gcod Luck
Some women said the Chestnut
street reserve are so superstitious
that they seem to think its bad luck
to pass a pin without picking it up
When the streets are crowded with
shoppers you would think they would
nt have much time to bother with
such things but thats where you are
wrong There was a perfect blockade
at my corner this morning ail caused
by an elderly female who had caught
sight of a pin lying on the pavement
At once she flopped down without any
regard for the other people who were
walking along and tried to pick it up
She wore gloves and the pin eluded
her grasp Again and again she at
tempted to capture it but it always
managed to escape her Of course
all this only took a few moments but
already there was quite a block and
people were walking in the street to
get around her Finally t iat did she
do but deliberately remove the glove
troni her right hand pick up the pin
with her bare fingers and stock it into
the lapel of her coat And having
satisfied herself traffic was once more
resumed Philadelphia- Record
nots year he went to Philadelphia as
a wheelwrights apprentice Phila
delphia was no more rapid in those
days than its is reputed to be now
and Evans did not get on very fast
In some mysterious manner he man
aged to eke out an existence and
oven to marry but he could not get his
horseless carriage on the road nor
could he prevail upon capitalists to as
sist him in building a railroad from
Philadelphia to New York one of the
great dreams of his life
Blind as the world was this strug
gling inventor and visionary saw the
true light ahead and of it he wrote to
a newspaper
The time will come when people
will travel in stages moved by steam
at fifteen to twenty miles an hour
A carriage will leave Washington in
the morning breakfast in Baltimore
dine in Philadelphia and sup in New
York the same day Railways will
be laid on iron or wood or on smooth
paths of broken stone or gravel to
travel as well by night as by day Pos
terity will not be able to discover why
the legislature or congress did not
grant the inventor such protection as
might have enabled him to put these
great improvements in operation soon
er he having asked neither money nor
a monopoly of any existing thing
Evans was right Posterity has not
been able to discover the whv or
Strength of Paper Money
That the paper money of the United
States endures a vast amount of rough
and careless handling is a fact that
must have been impressed upon any
one who has ever observed the man
ner in which the average cashier pulls
and jerks the bills he counts before
pushing them through the window to
the waiting patron says the Saturday
Evening Post
A single treasury note measures S1
inches in width by 7 inches in
length It will sustain without break
ing lengthwise a weight of 41
pounds crosswise a weight of 91
pounds The notes rim four to a
sheet a sheet being SU inches wide
by KJj inches long One of the sheets
lengthwise will suspend 10S pounds
and crosswise 177 pounds
It will be noted that a single note is
capable of sustaining crosswise a
weight of 91 pounds which is twice
the amount by nine pounds of the
weight the note can sustain length
wise while in the case of the sheet
the crosswise sheet lacks 29 pounds
of double the sustaining pc er of the
lengthwise sheet

Tfiire Evans was dead and buried
nearl n dozen yeans before Peter
Cooper went down fiom New Yftrk city
with am engine he Had bulla at his
glue factory and proved totfce man
agers at the Baltimore and Qhio rail
road that an engin could be success
fully run over the crooked thirteen
mile swf their track And he had besn
ground a carter oft at century
his dream of a road1 betwseni
New York and Philadelphia came true-
lift UTSG the legislature of Maryland
granted him right of way over
lm j ouvS5r
roads iu that state for his horseless
wagou but it was not until 1S04
that the actual horseless wagor
was demonstrated In that year
the Philadelphia board of health
wanted the water cleaned about
thy docks and Evans was given a
commission io build a machiie for
lie purpose He put his ideas into
iron and turned out his Qrakter
Aniphibolos of Digger a horseless
carriage on the road ad sailless
vessel on the water
He had become so poor vhat his
wife was compelled to spin tow cloth
and sell it for the family sustenance
and now when his wagon was made it
was too heavy and to reconstruct it
the workmen offered their services
free to help him out At last the wagon
the first automobile in America was
completed and it was put on exhibi
tion at Central Square where the
city hall now stands Here it was
run around he square daily and the
public was invited to pay a shilling a
head to look at it one half the money
to go to the workmen the other half
to tlu inventor not for his support
but to be expended in further improve
ments
After tho Digger had proved that
it could go by its own power on land
it was run down to the Schuylkill
where a wheel was rigged at its stern
and it took to the water going down
to the Delaware river and to its des
tination sixteen miles passing all sail
ing vessels on the ay
The Digger answered the purpose
for which it was built but it did not
open the pocketbooks of the capital
ists and Evans still struggled on
Spectacled and gray at forty he was
wrinkled and old now but the spirit
was strong within him and he kept
on By some means he secured a
shop where he did engine repairing
when he was not busy with his
dreams and he made a comfortable
living for his family But this was too
good luck and on April 11 1819 his
snop was burned to the ground de
stroying all his papers and his pat
terns It was a fatal stroke to this
man of sorrows but he met it bravely
and went at once to New York to se
cure means for re establishing himself
There the reaction came and the Com
mercial Advertiser of April 16 1819
contained under the head of Deaths
this notice
Yesterday at the house of Elijah
Ward Oliver Evans Esq of Philadel
phia in his sixty fourth year
That was the end The body was
buried at the old Zion burying ground
whence many years later it was re
moved to Cypress Hills Long Island
where it rests now in an unmarked
grave Oliver Evans is forgotten but
his works live after him and the auto
mobilists of America should find his
last resting place and erect over it a
monument worthy of the man Will

Had Pride in Her Town
A young North Carolina girl gave
me a center shot
the other day as a
token of that pride of locality which
is more pronounced in the South than
elsewhere said Mr Henry O Con
ners of Baltimore at the Ebbitt
It was quite a small place but it
boasted one very fine hotel at which
I stopped all night After a good
breakfast I paid my bill to the grown
daughter of the lady who ran the
tavern and who was quite up in the
duties of a cashier
You have a nice little town here
miss said I trying to- make friends
with the good looking clerk but I
must say that I never knew there was
such a town on the map till the South
ern Railroad landed me here vester
day
Eying me coolly and looking me
squarely in the eye the Tarheel maid
en said Where be you from mis

this is what she handed me Well I

A Sure Starter fcr 111 Health
Useless worrying a form of ner
vousness is indirectly the result
through the nerves of improper
feeding A furniture maa of Mem
phis says
About a year ago I was afflicted
with nervous spells would worry so
over trivial things
I went to consult one of the best
physicians in Memphis and he asked
among many questions if I Crank cof
fee
Hi3 advice was Co to some pro
vision store and get a box of Postum
drink it in place of coffee and as you
are confined to your desk a great
extent try and get out in th open air
as much as possible I followed his
instructions regarding the Postum
At that time my weight was 112
and I was taking all kinds of drugs
and medicines to brace me up but all
failed to day I veigh 163 and all of
my old troubles ae gone and all the
credit is due to having followed this
wise physicians advice and cut off the
coffee and using Postum in its place
I now consider my health perfect
I am willing to go before a notary
public and testify that it was all due
to my having used Postum in place
of coffee Name given by Postum
Co Battle Creek Mich
Theres a reason for quitting the
drug drink coffee and theres a rea
son fcr drinking Postum Trial 10
days proves them all
