THE SALESWOMAN
Compelled to Be on Her Feet the Larger Part
of the Day Finds a Tonic In Pe-ru-na.
Miss Curtain, of St.
Paul, Gives Her
Experience.
1
MISS NELLIE CURTAIN, 646 Pearl
street, St. Paul, Minn., head sales
woman in a department store writes:
"1 have charge of a department In a
dry goods store, and after standing
the larger part of the day, I would go
home with a dull ache, generally
through my entire body. I used Pe
runa and feel so much better that I
walk to and from the store now. I
know Peruna to be the best medicine
on the market tor the diseases peculiar
to women. "—Miss Nellie Curtain.
Nothing is so weakening to the human
system as the constant loss of mucus.
Catarrhal inflammation of the mucus
membrane produces an excessive forma
tion of mucus. Whether the mucus mem
brane be located in the head or pelvic
organs, the discharge of mucus is sure to
occur.
This discharge of mucus constitutes a
weakening drain; the system cannot long
withstand the loss of mucus, hence it is that
women afflicted with catarrhal affections of
the pelvic organs feel tired and languid,
with weak back and throbbing brain. A
course of Peruna is sure to restore health
by cutting off the weakening drain of the
daily loss of mucus.
An Admirable Tonle.
Congressman Mark H. Dunnell, National
Hotel, Washington, D. C., writes :
“ Your Peruna being used by myself and
many of my friends and acquaintances not
only as a cure for catarrh but also as an
admirable tonic for physical recuperation,
I gladly recommend it to all persons re
quiring such remedies.''—Mark H. Dunnell.
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.

Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

Won the Poet’s Heart.
Passengers who go downtown on the
Sixth avenue elevated train at a cer
tain time every morning have long no
ticed the mutual animosity of Mr.
Dolby and the man with prominent
blue eyes and bushy red hair. Some
how those two always happen to find
neighboring seats, and the way they
used to exchange belligerent glances
and sharp remarks prepared onlookers
for a real battle at any stage of the
game. Last week, however, the ene
mies appeared to fly a flag of truce.
For the first time during their ac
quaintance they approached each other
in a Christian manner. The passen
gers were mystified, and as they are
still wondering over the suddenly de
veloped spirit of brotherly love, it
seems the duty of those who know to
volunteer a brief explanation.
In the first place, Mr. Dolby’s per
sonality must be considered. He is a
poet. As he is for'unatj enough to
get a few of his lyr'es published he
also reads them. When in a jocular
mood he says he does this because if
he doesn’t read the stuff nobody else
will. One morning Mr. Dolby left his
boarding house in a dispirited mood.
A poem of his had appeared in a morn
ing paper and had afforded much
breakfast table comment of a caustic
nature. Mr. Dolby *was still wrestling
with the barbs thus lodged in his sen
sitive bosom when he entered the train
and sat down beside the red-headed
man. The red-headed man was ag
gressive. He gouged Dolby's side with
his elbow. Dolby gouged back.
What the red-headed man said then
was not intended for publication. The
tw'o men glared at each other for a
few minutes, then subsided without
coming to blows. The red-headed man
opened his paper. Presently Dolby
was astonished to hear the other fel
low laugh. He laughed out loud. Dol
by turned and looked at him.
The man laughed again. That time
Dolby looked at the paper, and as he
looked he gasped, for what he saw
was the red-headed man deliberately
cutting a short poem from the paper.
Then he began to read it again, with
an aprpeclative chuckle.
"Good Lord!” said Dolby. He
clasped the red-headed man’s hand.
"My dear fellow.” he said, “I want
to apologize. I have been a brute, a
bear, a barbarian. Will you forgive
me?”
“I don’t, know,” said the red-headed
man. “Why do you want me to?”
“Because you are one of the best
fellows going. I—I wrote that—-that
little poem you just cut out. I want to
shake hands and make up.”
The red-headed man- was not resent
ful. Having a proper awe for genius,
he admired Dolby as much as Dolby
admired him, and nowadays they are
real cronies.—New York Press.
Man and the Hereafter.
Any one who has followed the
course of practical religious thought
during the last few years cannot have
failed to recognize the gradual lessen
ing of emphasis upon the resurrection
both of Jesus and of men. Even hymns
that speak about heaven are reserved
for funerals. There has grown up a
habit of treating all matters pertain
ing to life After death by way of allu
sion. We are told that the resurrec
tion is present in the higher life, the
moral uplift in human hearts. That
is why we have trouble in our preach
ing. That is why we have preferred
to turn our ministers into entertain
ers rather than to keep them prophets
and priests. That is why men do not
listen to ethical preachers unless they
I are "interesting.” A morality that hes
itates to speak of heaven and hell is
a very delicate, hectic mother of
saints. You cannot get a man to be
good on general principles. He wants
to know something definite as to the
outcome of his career. For practical
purposes if there is no hell we must
invent one; if there is no heaven we
must invent that, too.
You tell us, you writers of beautiful
tentences printed on thick, cream-col
The Heart’s First Love.
In the utmost beginning of things—
in that time when roosters were very
large, and geese were fierce, and only
mother could overt the thousand
perils, heal the thousand wounds—
existed a mythical partner established
in family annals as “Your Little
Sweetheart.”
“Annie?” Don’t you remember An
nie? Why, she was your little sweet
heart. You used to play together day
in and day out. It was so cute to see
you.
But, no. You may catch here a bit
of blue ilbbon, there an echo of a
laugh, yet, try as you will, you may
not recall her. Evidently when your
little sweetheart Annie was put away
along with dresses and curls she was
put away so far that she was lost for
ever.
What space of months, or of years,
elapses you cannot tell. Nevertheless,
suddenly you do witness yourself, still
of age most immature (you recollect
Bear’s Fight for Life.
A desperate fight to the death took
/dace at Notre Dame du Lans, near
White Fish Lake, between two men
and an enormous black bear. Olivier
Pelletier and his son, employes of Mac
Laren & Co., lumbermen, were put
ting some logs into the lake when
they saw the bear about to plunge into
the water.
Pelletier sprang for his rifle, which
was near at hand. Seeing him, the
bear turned and started to run away.
A bullet in the shoulder caused him to
halt a moment. A second shot, which
took effect near the breast, brought
bruin to the ground. Half an hour
Jater, having finished their work, the
men lighted their pipes and sat down.
Presently the elder got up, and, taking
an axe, went to make sure that the
bear was dead, for he said he could see
a slight twitching of the limbs. He
went over and placed a hand on bru
Her Little Joke.
They were in the studio. Artists’
trappery and bohemian paraphernalia
were placed about the room with stud
ied carelessness.
Heavy tapestries and portieres
choked the walls. Costly statuary,
mediaeval firearms, poniards, yata
ghans and priceless and historic ar
mor were ranged idly about the room.
Seated on a heavily upholstered di
van, eyeing the American heiress at
ored paper and bound In beautiful col
ers, you tell us that we should sacri
fice for the benefit of the people. But
why? Why should not they sacrifice
for us? Is It not Just as much their
duty to be altruistic as It Is ours? You
urge us to lay down our lives for the
benefit of the race and for human sol
idarity, and tell us soul-thrilling sto
ries borrowed from Victor Hugo. But
why? Why Rhould we sacrifice our
selves for posterity? If neither we
nor they have anything more than a
life here, why should we be so keen
upon preserving a race of bipedal ani
mals who wear clothes? Existence be
tween birth and death does not seem
to most of us sufficiently attractive to
warrant maintaining It at all costs.
And it is very difficult to discover the
basis of morality In a stock farm. Con
vince us that the story of the gospel
is true, and that death does ont close
the book for us and ours, and you con
vince us that life has its great values
in the newer stage for development
into which men are going. Then we
have something definite to think
about, some hope worth acting upon,
some motive that will lead to sacri
fice. That sort of gospel will not be
impotent.—Christendom.

that somewhere in this period you

sprang up enraged, struck the axe
from the man’s hands, and attacked
him viciously.
Bruin’s roars startled the son, whc
looked up and saw the beast with open

A New Headlight.
A recent improvement in railroad
locomotive headlights is to send a
oeam of light vertically from the lo
comotive, as well as straight ahead.
The column of light, rising vertically
?rom the locomotive, can be seen from
a great distance, even though a hill
should intervene to hide the ordinary
headlight and dull the sound of the
whistle. The searchlight effect used
abroad ships is thus to some extent
utilized. An approaching locomotive
with this device always signals its
coming with a "pillar of fire” by night,
producing an impressive as well as
useful result.
A German Farmer'* Case.

Rev. Joseph Pope of this placo Is
widely and favorably known as a
clergyman who has done and is doing
much for his people. He is very much
beloved by everyone for the faithful
ness of his pastoral work.
Rev. Mr. Pope has given for publica
tion a statement made to him by a
German farmer who is a member of
his congregation. The man's name is
George Hoellerer, and he has given
Rev. Mr. Pope this letter:
“Last winter I suffered very much
with Rheumatism. I could neither
walk nor ride on horseback nor do
any farm work.
“I took medicine from different doc
tors but they did not do me any good.
Then I tried Dodd’s Kidney Pills pro
cured for me by a good friend. After
I had taken the first box I felt already
a heap better; I was relieved of the
pain and could walk and chop wood;
and the contraction of my Angers be
gan to resolve.
"Now since I have taken six more
boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills I feel
well again and am able to do all the
work on the farm.”

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot leach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There ia only one wav
to cure deafness, and that ia by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When ibis tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it ia entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will ho destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surface!..
