C'ATARRH or the respiratory organs Is a common ailment In Canada for at least' two-thirds of the year.

I found Peruna a relief in several case. WfJ ran say It Is a good tonic and we are very thankful. Ulsters of the Good Shepherd. When catnrrh once fastens Itself upon the system It becomes an obstinate disease to eradicate. ' A systematic remedy one that reaches every Internal organ of the body is an absolute necessity, Peruna Is Just such a remedy. It searches out the cause of the disease, healing and strengthening the mucous membranes, and thus giving Nature an opportunity to per form her part of the restorative process. One of tho many hospitals which have found Peruna of valita In treating old and obstinate cases of catarrh Is the Hospital St. John, who writes as follows: "We are happy fo toll you that your Peruna has given us satisfaction. Tlireo patients have tried lt one fc years old, Renol Dupuie. afflicted with catarrh, is much relieved more than he has been for a number of years. " "A young girl, IS years old. had an obstinate cough, which half a bottle of Peruna caused to 'disappear. "As to myself, two bottles have con vinced mo. that Peruna is magnificent as a tonic. "liefore the treatment I could not walk for a quarter of an hour without experi cese is extremely limited. According to Rev. W. Clarke, a servant of the church who clamors loudly for its reform, a min ister may go so far as to hire a curate at a small salary to do all his work for him and tako life as easy as he pleases, and his bishop, meanwhile, can do nothing to compel him to discharge the luties for which he may bo paid a, generous stipend. But participation in jioncomforniUtt worship comes under the head of those things over which 'the bishop can exercise disciplinary power. And so when Dr. Qlbson heard what Mr. Lockett was doing he proceeded to read the ecclesiastical riot act to him. "".I am too old to go to, a distant church," wrote Mr. Lockett in reply. "What was I to do? Ought I to have spent, the rest of my days without any religious service? Eng-kpelng driven to that chapel, and as never heard anything there that was not strictly in accordance with tho Bible, why should I hesitate to take part In Its serv ices? i Moro than fifty-three years ago I was ordained to preach the gospel, and hy God's help I mean toreach the gospel as long as I am able." Which, as the bishop can't stop him, he will doubtless continue to do. But It will be no longer as a licensed minister of the gospel according to the Church of Eng land. A little while ago the bishop of Man chaster censured one of his vicars for using unfermented wine at the holy com munion service. The vicar replied that many of his parishioners were, teetolers, that some of them had a bard struggle to keep the pledge and that even a Sip of In toxicating liquor might rekindle the appc- ui tuai mry were viriviiia iu lumjucr. All that had no effect on the blBhop. He ordered the vicar tp use only the sort of wine one can get drunk on If he takes enough of It. Vicar shows Intolerance. But it Isn't only the bishops that show intolerance. The other day a vicar of a pariah in a little one-horse town gave the newly elected nfayor "fits" because he had announced his intention of attending wor ship "In state" accompanied by the mem bers of the town council at a noncon formist chapel. ; "If you come to my church after that." said the vicar, "you will come uninvited." Miny rural towns In England are ruled by the parson and the squire. Helmsley, which Is tucked away In a remote corner of Yorkshire. Is one such place. The par son Is the Rev. C. N. Gray, and the squire, Lord Faversham. In a recent ser mon. Mr. Gray Issued a command4hat no Sunday paper should be bought or sold on- Sunday In his parish. One poor old man who could 111 spare the money .he made by the sale of Sunday papers, disregarded the edict. That made the parson furious. "If you don't stop selling Sunday papers I shall complain to Lord Faversham and you will have to take the cont!rquences." he said to him. s Then the man became afraid. He knew the power of Lord Faversham, his home and his livelihood depended on the good Igrsce of his over-lord. Therefore, he had no alternative but to make his submission to the parson and sacrifice the little In come he had made from the sale of Sun day papers. A reporter asked Mr. Gray If he read the dally papers on Monday, lia replied that he did. Bandar Labor. "But the Monday paper Is produced by Sunday labor, and the Sunday paper Is the product of Week day labor only," said the scribe. AThat makes no difference," replied the parson, "the Sunday paper Is sold on Sun-day1- and It Is that I object to and Intend to put a stop to aa long as I have any power In this parish." Not very long ago this vicar issued a de cree against dancing, gnd dances were for bidden In that village. Now. however, lie has withdrawn his ukase against dancing, but has taken the dances and duncers under his own care, and the villagers can Indulge In "the light fantastic toe" only under the vigilant eye of the parson.

A later letter received from tho same Institution reads as follows: "Three weeks ago I wrote: to tell you how satisfactory we found Peruna. We recommend it highly for colds, coughs, catarrh and neuralgia. "I have used It myself as a tonic with the best results, taken as directed, half a teaspoonful every half hoijr." 'Mrs. Ktta Booker, " Dundurn, Sask., N. W. T.. Canada, writes: "I suffered with Internal catarrh until I wroto to Dr. Hnrtman. and after tak ing treatment as he advised, I can say 1 am now cured of the most trying affliction, for which I am truly thank ful. I think Peruna the best medirlne for catarrh. I never felt better In my life than 1 do at present." Teruna not only promptly relieves coughs and colds in their first stages, hut is equally prompt and efficient for catarrhal diseases In the chronic stage. .

HIGH JINKS IN DUCAL HOME Baton Hall, Seat of Duke of Wrt ininater, Scene of Mnch , nnfToonerr., LONDON. Feb. 15. Speclal.) Occasion ally something gets into tho papers which sheds an illuminating light on the manners and modes of life of some of the most exalted members of the British aristocracy. Of that nature was tho recent nocturnal raid .made by the Duke of Westminister's guests at Eaton hall on the country seat of Marquis of Cholmondcley. The story of that mock burglary has boon told all ever America. My purpose In referlng to it Is to call attention to the contrast It suggests between the commonly accepted notion of how the members of a ducal house party conduct themselves and how they reaily behave. For the, incident was typical of the diversions that take place at Eaton hall. I Eaton hall la one of the most magnificent of the stately homes of England. It cont IIO.COO.OOO and It took thirteen years to build It. Last year 30.000 visitors paSd 25 cents each for the privilege of going over portions of It, and Incidentally contributed to the support of certain local charities. As they wandered through Its grand and sumptuously furnished halls and apartments many of them doubtless Imagined that those who dwelt amid such splendor must, perforce, by persons of culture and refine ment, quite Incapable In their dally life of anything approaching vulgarity. In that assumption they were .far wide of the mark. An income of something like C.0O.0i a year, and nothing in particular to do but spend It, does not make for re finement and culture unless the gods have added to thetr other bounteous gifts a superior Intellectual and tempermental out fit. And that neither the duke nor the duchess possess despite the adulatory club- dub that la printed about them In the society papers. High jinks and. practical jokes of ques tionable taste are the form of entertain ment most In vogue at Eaton hall. It 1 the favorite resort of those choice pro- 'ducts of the upper circles "w.ho are known as "Society Hooligans." To iflake a "rough house" of any place where they chance It be staying constitutes their Ideal of a real good time. And they did It at Eaton hall during" the recent holiday season aided and abetted by their host and hostess, notwith standing that the latter were ostensibly in mourning for Lord Chesham, the uncle of the duchess, who was killed In the hunting field. - A man of the party who protested that things were being carried a bit too far was locked In a bath room on Christmas morn ing aad not permitted to leave It until luncheon, and then only after promising that he would "never again make such an ass of himself ss to give good advice." But the "goings on" this Christmas were mild compared with some of the scenes that have occurred at the ducal house pat ties. On one occasion a society belle, for a wager, danced In tights on the dinner table, after the dessert had made Us appearance. She won her bet, but lost a hushand by her performance, for hor fiance Immediately broke hla engagement with her. . The Duchess of Westminster would not be her mother's daughter did she not glory In the practical Joke. Twenty-five or thirty years ago Mrs. Cornwallls West was the terror of every house or yacht Into which she put her foot. Even the late Mr. Gladstone was hot sacred from her larks. At a country house she stitched up his night garments so that he could not get Into them. Those who participated with her In the Joke managed to keep Mrs Gladstone talking down stairs after her husband had retired snd the fun wss when the great prime minister came out on the landing calling for Mrs. Gladstone as ho always did when in any difficulty. That lady has no sense ot humor and her fury at what she considered an indignity to her husband was. it seems, the best part uf the whole affair. "The Making of a Millenium." Read it DOES IT PAY TO BE A LAWYER? Argument For and Against in Enor mous Pees and Pittances. HALF MAKE HUNDRED A MOUTH Oa the Other Hand On Handred aad Fifty Thousand-Dollar Fees Are Mot Ont of the Question. Does It pay to be a lawyer? Judge W. D. McHugh of Omaha, who last week was accorded a fee of $45,0O for serv ices In the Crelghton estate; T. J. Ma honey, who, with J. A. C. Kennedy, re ceived fees In excess of that amoUDt for services In the same estate: the late James M. Woolworth. who received 1100.000 for set tlement of a will case In Montana; General John C. Cowln, who was paid IT&.OdO by the United States government for looking after the foreclosure proceedings against the Union Pacific; Charles B. Keller, who secured $45.CM) for securing the repudiation of the purchase a few years ago of the Douglas county poor farm, and several other successful Omaha . attorneys who have secured large fees, would probably answer the question In the affirmative. But Does It pay to be a lawyer? Tlie Ohio magaxlne publishes figures tending to show that the profession Is not a lucrative one, saying that "a reporter on a daily newspaper makes more money than the average lawyer." The Ohio publi cation points out the fact that the motor, man on a street car receives from $15 to $30 a week; a clerk In a dry goods store, rail road or Insurance office receives from $30 to $35 a week; the bank clerk from $75 to $160 a month; the skilled mechanic or ma chinist earns from $3 to $10 a day; the suc cessful manager of a large business from $5.o to $28,000 a yesr; while many lawyers In the larger cities are simply clerks in larger firms and glad to get their $25 a week by hard, painstaking work. Armies of Lawyers. "In one city alone there are over 10.0C0 lawyers, three-fourths of whom are wholly dependent upon the incomes from their practice as a means of llvllhood,'' says the Ohio Magaslne. "from 30 to 60 per cent are successful practlcloners with good In comes and a monopoly upon the better class of law business, it Is safe to say that the remaining GO per cnt make on the average less than $1,300 a year." In the United States today are over 175,000 lawyers more men than In any other pro fession or calling save teaching or medi cine: In the city of Omaha, according to the 1907 directory, there are 2 attorneys at law. Only one-fourth of these are ever seen In court with a client, it is said, the remainder having simply office business, collections and such work. In Some In stances a lucrative Income is secured, but many an Omaha lawyer, who has been ad mitted to the bar for a number of years. Is today content with an Income of less than $1,600. In politics the lawyer has Invariably taken rank, most of the presidents of the United States having been an attorney by profession. In the United States senate the lawyers are predominant, newspaper men being second in line. The cabinets of the presidents have been made up largely of followers of the legal profession. Ellhu Root gave up a yearly income of $310,000 to return to the cabinet, it Is said. Largest Fee Ever Paid by State. , Recounting tho career of the late Mr. Fessenden, the lawyer-politician of Con necticut, the Philadelphia Press relates that he received tho largest fee for legal services vcr made by a state. Some five years ago the state of Connecticut paid him a fee of a little more than $150,000, he having earned that while prosecuting a claim of the state against the United States. It was a contingent fee and very likely the percentage allowed him by the state would not have been so large as 25 per cent had It been presumed that Mr. Fessenden would have been able to collect. as he did, a little more than $1,000. This Is one of the traditional great fees. W. D. Guthrie of New York Is credited with having received a fee of $l,0f,000, In what Is known as the Plant will case. The leading questions Involved were extremely technical and compelled a profound knowl edge of the common law of bth the states of New York and Connecticut, and In volved the determination whether the es tate left by Mr. Plant, one of the largest fortunes of the United States, was to be Interpretated and administered in accord ance with the laws of New York or of Connecticut. Cromwell Hooks a Whale. William Nelson Cromwell claimed a fee of $la0,00i) for services In negotiating the sale of the Panama canal to the United States. y Does It pey to be a lawyer? v Great fees have been secured, but the practitioner must depend entirely upon the probability of the people of his community getting Into controversy with one another or of their . violation of the laws of the city, state or nation. On the other hand, the follower of business pursuits is prac tically sure of his pay no matter which way the wind may blow, say even the most successful followers of the legal profession. If a young man wishes to go Into politics ha should study law, advise the attorneys. Politics, law and newspapers go together, they say, arguing that every lawyer is a politician, nearly every politician Is a law yer, all politicians heed the newspapers and most newspapers pay more or less attention to politics. AMERICAN TO SAVE BABIES Thousands Will Blew Philanthropy of Xathaa Straus la City of London. LONDON, Feb. 8.-Special.)-If the state ments of medical men, competent to speak with authority on the subject, be accepted, thousands of English babies will be saved from death In Infancy by a charitable schemo which has Just been introduced Into this country by an American philan thropist, Nathan Straus, brother of Oscar P. Straus, secretary of commenrce and labor in President Roosevelt's cabinet. ' Americans are familiar with the benefi cent work Mr. Straus has done In his own land by means of the pasteurised milk plants, which ho has established in New York and other big American cities, and the great reductions in Infant mortality which have resulted) from the provisions thus made for an abundant supply of ab solutely pure milk. Soma time ago he established a milk pasteurizing plant at Heidelberg, Germany, with such excellent results that a few weeks ago he was summoned to wait on the grand duchess of Oaden and was pub licly thanked for his work. Now he Is extending his philanthropic work to Kngland, and as usual he is pro ceeding on generous lines, lie has engaged Dr. B. U.

Dr. Moore's work will be liter ally, to give away milk pasteurising plants to any town or borough or city that will undertake to run them, and to instruct the local officials how to operate them.

Mr. Siraus' philanthropic undertaking. It Is said that Mr. Straus has doubled Dr. Mrfore's salary and has made provisions for the continuance of the work even In the event of his death. Mr. Straus has given carte blanche. In tho matter of expense. Each plant costs $1.(W0 and Is capable of providing milk for 220 children every day. Dr. Moore has power to give and install one of these plants free of charge In any town In his country, the only condition being that the local authority shall undertake to work It and provide the milk free for poor mothers. Already Liverpool, Iiclfast and Hudders field nave compiled with the conditions, and negotiations are In progress with sev eral of the London boroughs and the other large towns and cities of the United King dom.

"Some of the finest Jewelry we sell, Jew elry that has a distinctly Parisian air about It, is mude across tho river in a small Jersey town," said a Jeweler.
