Summer Catarrh
Afflicts Men and
Women.
Hon. judson w. lyons,
Register of the United
States treasury, in a letter
from Washington, D. C., says:
“I Had Peruna to be an
excellent remedy for the ca
tarrhal affections of spring
and summer, and those who
suffer from depression from
the heat of the summer will
find no remedy the equal of
Peruna.”—Judson W. Lvons.
No man is better known in the
financial world than Judson W.
nS-* Lyons, formerly of Augusta, Ga.
His name on every piece of
money of recent date makes his
signature one of the most familiar
ones in the United States.
Two Interesting Letters From
Thankful Women.

“ writes:
“Late suppers gradually affect
ed my digestion and made me a
miserable dyspeptic, suffering in
tensely at times. I took several
kinds of medicine which were
prescribed by different physicians
but still continued to suffer. But
the trial of one bottle of Peruna
convinced me that it would rid
me of this trouble, so 1 continued
taking it for several weeks and I

Summer Catarrh.
Mrs. Kate Bohn, 1119 Willoughby Ave.,
Brooklyn, N. Y., writes :
“When I wrote you I was troubled with
frequent headaches, dizzy, strange feeling
' in the head, sleeplessness, sinking feelings,
faintness and numbness. Sometimes I had
heartburn. My food would rise to my
throat after every meal, and my bowels
were very irregular.
“ I wrote you for advice, and I now take
pleasure in informing you that my improve
ment is very great indeed. 1 did not ex
pect to improve so quickly after suffering
for five long years. 1 am feeling very good
and strong. 1 thank you so much for Pe
runa. 1 shall recommend it to all suffering
with the effects of catarrh, and I consider
it a household blessing. 1 shall never be
without Peruna.”
For those phases of catarrh peculiar to
summer, Peruna will be found efficacious.
Peruna cures catarrh in all phases and
stages.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac
tory results from the use of Peruna write
at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state
ment of your case and he will be pleased to
give you his valuable advice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of The
Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

Insurance Against Spinsterhood.
Countries have to be educated up to
providing for new economic or social
conditions. Denmark is already ad
justing itself to the altered conditions
which decreased the probability of a
female cnild’s marriage. It has a sys
tem of insurance against the possibil
ity of spinsterhood. In Denmark, if
a sum of about $225 is deposited on
beha.„ of a girl at birth, she becomes
entitled, if unmarried at the age of 30,
to receive an annuity of $25, which is
increased by $25 every ten years. If.
however, she marries before she is
30, $225 is returned to her, or if she
dies before she is that age, there is a
contribution of some $30 or $35 toward
her funeral.

The Burglar's One Great Mistake*
Small Piece of Carelessness That Put a Temporary Stop to
Promising Career—Folly of Trying to Do Good
Work With Second-Class Material
“You'd think now. wouldn't you."]
said the retired burglar, "that a man
in my business, ii anybody, would tost
uis tools before bringing them into
use, and so take no chances with
them? You would, sure; but the best
men neglect this, sometimes, and I
slid once, and came to grief.
"The lip of my old jimmy had got
chipped, and rather than have It
drawn out and retempered 1 had a new
ane made. 1 had been doing pretty
well along about then and I felt that
I could afford it, to say nothing to the
common sense of having only the best
tools to work with.
"That new jimmy was a beauty to
look at. and well balanced and good
under the hand, fine and perfect in
every way, apparently, and 1 never
tested it. I tried it on a safe I knew
of that seemed to be just waiting for
somebody to come along and crack it.
"This safe stood at the top land
ing of a pair of stairs that led up to
the second story of a two-story de
tached building that was used for a
factory of some sort, and that stood
on the same lot with the house of the
owner in a small country town. 1 sup
pose they put it out there so they
could tumble it downstairs bandy in
case of fire.
“It didn’t seem much of a safe. It
was a loose-jointed, sort of ram
shackle-looking old safe compared
with what they build nowadays, but it
didn't turn out as easy as 1 thought it
was going to.
"It stood with its door toward the
office room on that second floor, and
with the hinged edge of the door back
from, and the opening edge toward the
top of the stairs; so I had to stand
with my heels right on the edge of the
top step of Ihe stairs to get nt it. 1
wedged the door out a little, to get it
started away from the door frame, and
then I got the new jimmy in and began
prying.
“But the old safe, as i was saying,
turned out to he tougher than I had
expected, and the first thing I knew
there was a crack and a break, not in
the safe door, but in the handle of my
new jimmy—a Haw In the steel—and,
standing as I was on that very top
step and leaning out over the stairs
at the moment, away 1 went, clean to
Ihe bottom.
"Tt was plumb daylight when I came
to, and (hen 1 was on a work bench
on the first floor of this little factory,
with the doctor bending over me on
one side and the owner of the factory
on the other. The owner had found
me senseless at the bottom of the
stairs, and there i had lain till he
picked me up.
“He did tils first duty to me, by
sending for Ihe doctoi,, and later lie
did his duty to the community. It
was easy to do that, with the handle
of my broken jimmy beside me at the
foot of the stairs, the part, that
matched it sticking in the safe, and
my old bullseye standing on the top
of the strong box.
“It was some years after that, before
I got a chance to use another jimmy,
at all; but I never repeated the mis
take I made with that, one.”
The Tale of a Tall
V -
Uncle Bill Shows That a Horse Hair Will Turn Into a Snake
if Left in Water—Pathetic Fate of Judge Morton's
Old Grey Mare Medusa Froves It
"V want t' know how thet ‘old le
gend’ started about horse hairs turn
in’ inter snakes if y’ leave ’em in
water over night?” asked Uncle Bill.
“Wall, now, thet 'old legend,’ as y’
call it, is gospel truth.
“Jest you take a horse hair an’ put
it in a bottle uf water an'—But, say,
didn't you ever hear tell uf how Jedge
Morton's old grey mare died? Wal,
wal, wal! There’s a heap of things
you city fellers don’t know about, af
ter all.
“Why, th’ Jedge kept this mare uf
his out in th’ cow barn. 'Twas a ram
shackle old buildin’ an’ th’ roof leaked
consid'rable. But thet didn't make
much difference ontil one night along
in April when, he had a rainstorm.
“Now I’ve seen some pretty likely
rainstorms in my time, but this here
pertic'lar one was calc’lated t’ make
all th’ rest uf ’em look like sunshine
durin’ a dry spell.
“Next mornin’ when the Jedge went
out t’ lit’ barn t’ look things over he
found th’- old mare sound asleep in
two feet uf water. He jest stood there
a-lookin’, wonderin’ how in tarnation
he’d get all th’ water outer th’ barn,
again, when all uf a sudden he gave
a start thet almost woke th’ mare.
“Her tail all seemed t’ be sort uf
a-squirmin’ ’round like. He looked
closer, an’, sure as you’re sittin’ there,
every hair in th- pesky crlttur’s tail
had turned into a strappin’ big rattle
snake.
•'Naturally, th’ Jedge was sort uf up
sot, when he first discovered all this.
But when he got over his surprise
some, he took th" matter philosophical
ly, an’ seemed pleased more’ll other
wise.
’’ 'Why. next winter,’ he said, ’thet
there rattlesnake tail ’ll do instead uf
sleighbells. Th’ old mare ’ll look right
nobby hitched up t’ th’ cutter.’
"But Medusa—he always called th’
mare Medusa after thet—she warn’t
destined t’ live long. Durin’ the sum
mer when she’d whisk her tail around
t’ bresh th’ files off, them reptiles
would snap ’em off an’ eat ’em. They
finally grew so fat an’ heavy on this
fly diet thet th’ poor old mare couldn’t
pull her own tail, let alone a wagon.
"Besides snakes don’t sleep th’ same
hours as bosses an’ th’ awful rattling
at night kept Medusa awake. At last
the poor crittur died. Her tail, broken
hearted for th’ most part, didn’t long
survive her.
“What’s thet y’e say?” asked Uncle
Bill.
“No, as far as I know, Jedge Morton
never teched a drop of liquor in his
life.—New York Sun.
Uncle Abner's Visit a Failure,
Made Unfeeling Comment When His Ears Were Filled with
the Tale of Sweet Alice's Woes—All the Result
of an Inconvenient Memory.
“Alice is so worried,” said her moth
er, "that you will have to excuse her if
she seems to be a little out of sorts
this evening.”
“What’s the trouble?” asked the
young lady's Uncle Abner, who had
come in from the country on a little
visit.
“She has had such a distressing time
of it with her maids lately. You see,
the one she had after she came home
from college went, and got married
about three months ago, and since
then the poor child has really had to
wait on herself most of the time. We
found a young woman who came here
from Washington with excellent rec
ommendations, and for a little while
Alice was very happy. She thought
she had found a jewel. Annie could
button her shoes so lovely, and it
seemed to be actually a pleasure for
her to be dressed by the new maid,
but one day a dreadful thing hap
pened. Alice caught her using her
Her Reason.
Prof. Maxwell, in his tour of the
city schools, was quizzing one of the
high school classes on the important
facts in English history. The class
showed the greatest interest in Crom
well’s career, and when the supeiin
tendent asked whai was the most de
cisive event in his campaign, agreed,
with one dissenting voice, that it wras
the battle of Naseby. But the dis
senter—a bright young girl in her
teens—had her own opinion, and stuck
to it after the discussion had closed.
“Well,” said Dr. Maxwell, “Charles
I was Cromwell’s opponent, and
Charles I was certainly defeated at
Naseby.”
“Yes, he was defeated at Naseby,”
said the girl with a snap, “but he was
beheaded at Whitehall, and beheading
.is far more serious than defeating.”—

seal on a letter she had written, both
happening to have the same initials.
“The next maid Alice got stole one
of her diamonds, and that, of course,
was very unpleasant. Then she got
one who always managed to upset
something when she took the poor
child’s breakfast upstairs to her, and
Alice couldn’t get used to it. The
maid she has now seems to mean well
but she is very inexperienced and
often forgets to Bay ’Miss’ when she
answers questions. It's got on Alice’s
nerves, and I don’t know what we
shall do unless there is a change for
the better very soon.”
"It’s too blamed bad,” said Uncle
Abner. “I s’pose she's bothered al
most as much as you used to be when
the cows wouldn’t keep from swltchin
at the flies while you set there milkin
’em, eh?”
Yet some people wonder why the

His Arduous Duties.
Capt. Sigsbee tells of a conversation
he once overheard between two ma
rines who were arguing as to whc
had the least work to do on board a
man-of-war.
“It's the chaplain," said the first.
“How’d ye make that out?" askec
the second.
“Because he ain't got no work to dc
and all day to do it in.”
The second marine snorted his dls
gust. “You ain't go it right, Jack,’
said he. "it’s the cap'll of marines.1
“How’s that?”
“Well, me boy, as you say. the chap
Iain’s got nothin’ to do and all da>
to do it in; but the cap'll of marines
he ain’t got anything to do and all
day to do it in and a lieutenant of ma
rines to help him do it."
