Gentlemen:—“I suffered with pain in my right side for over eight years. \
Doctors said my liver was affected. My complexion was dark and yellow, i (
bad a had taste in my mouth, and was tired all the time. I took a great deal
of medicine, but nothing seemed to do me any good. I read in the paper of '
Perun a. and decided to give it a trial. I felt better before the first bottle was
gone, and after taking three bottles I was cured, and I have enjoyed perfect
health since.” LENA HILTON.

“Spring fever,1' as it is sometimes railed,
which prodi res a tired out, sleepy feel
ing, and inability to do much mental or
Shyeical work, is" the result of a sluggish

The great popularity that Peruna has

HAS A BIG BUFFALO HERD.
Millionaire llalf-llrrari Keep* 1MO «f
Them and Won't Hell One.
Roaming In absolute freedom in the
beautiful Flathead valley, on the Fiat
head Indian reservation, Montana, is
the largest herd of buffalo or* the con
tinent. The noble animals have prac
tically all the freedom that was theirs
in the days when they were monarchy
of the plains. The herd is the prop
erty of a half-breed of mixed Indian
and Mexican blood named Pablo,
whose home is on the reservation, and
who is reported to be worth $2,500,
000. He does not Iook it in his suit of
citizen's clothes, broad-brimmed hat j
and blanket, but he is as shrewd a
ranchman as is to be found on the '
western plains and he has increased i
his government allotment of cattle ,
and lands until he has amassed a vast j
fortune. He has two houses, one on j
the reservation and the other in the i
dreary little shipping town of Selish,
on the Northern Pacific railroad.
Pablo owns 100.000 head of cattle
and takes a Justifiable pride in them,
but he especially glories in his herd
ot buffalo, which numbers ISO. Pablo’s
regard for his buffalo is intense. He
is not keeping them for profit, and
will not sell a single specimen. He
loves them because they are a part of
the old free life he loved and loves
still. He has a fellow feeling for
bison because, like his own race, they
have been driven from their old ranges.
So he has gathered together all that
he could get and has placed them on
the magnificent range ut the outlet of
Flathead lake.
FAIRY TALES FOR CHILDREN.
FublUher Ref tines 8torlen of Dragons
or Tragic Themes.
“I am a lover of fairy tales.” said a 1
uovelest the other day, "and for a
long time I have had the desire to do a j
volume of them. So I visited a pub
lisher recently and submitted to him
the plots of ten or eleven stories that i
would make, I thought, a very charm- ;
ing little book. He disagreed with
me.
"One story dwelt with dragons and
another with the slaying of an ogre.
According to the publisher they
wouldn't do for child readers; they
would scare the little ones and would
cause them to believe in horrid mon
sters that don't exist. Another was a
sad story, and that was impossible be- ,
cause little children should never be
made to cry. And so on dow n through |
them all. until I couldn’t see for the |
life of me what subjects were left to l
write about.
"Consider the best fairy tales—Hans
Andersen's ‘Tin Soldier,’ Oscar Wilde's j
‘Happy Prince,’ or 'Jack, the Giant i
Killer,’ ‘Little Red Riding Hood,’
'Bluebeard,' ‘Aladdin,’ "Puss-in-Boots’
and so on. Don't they deai with death
and woe and slaughter and fear?
It is all absurd for publishers to is
sue only namby-pamby stuff for chil
dren.” said the novelist, according to
the Philadelphia Record, “and one re
sult of their foolishness is that good
fairy tales are no longer written.”
The Kalner'* Awful Power.
The mobilized strength of the Ger
man army is 2,310.000 infantry. 151,000
cavalry, 329.000 artillery, 78,000 techni
cal troops, 168.000 other formations,
making a total of 3,036,000 trained
men. All these warriors are bound by
oath of fealty to the kaiser. The Ba
varians are exempt from the oath in
time of peace. The kaiser controls all
appointments, no matter what the
province; he has the right of ordering i
the erection of fortresses in any part I
of the empire and of declaring any
country or district In a state of siege
in case of threatened disturbance. Ev
ery German is liable to serve in the
army or navy, and no substitution is
allowed. Thus a martial spirit per
meates the whole empire. The posi
tion of the kaiser at the head of these
vast and terrible forces is one of fas
cinating interest, and the thought ot
what would be the effect on the other
great armed powers of Europe were
this mighty war machine set in mo- j
tioa is a fearful one.
Must Re One She Can Look Up To.
Ella Ewing, the giantess, has set at
rest the rumor of her impending mar
riage to a Montana man or any one
else so far as she knows at present.
She told a friend in La Grange in a
letter recently that there isn’t any
thing in the story. She and ner fath
er are to start shortly for the Pacific
coast, where Miss Ewing is to be on
exhibition this summer. It may be
said for Ella that if she remains sin
gle it is from choice and not from ne
cessity. Her mail contains an average
of at least three proposals a week, it
is said. She is understood to insist,
however, that she will only marry the
right kind of a man. one she can
really look up to, and in view of her
eight and one-half feet of stature it
can be readily realized that such muv
not be easy to find.—Kansas City Jour
nal.
Politics In Canada.
A German vote is now added to the
multitude of race, creed and class
votes which divide the electorate of
tb.s long-suffering province.
Grits and Tories in the legislature
are down on their hands and knees
groveling to the German vote, which
Nelson Monteith, M. P. P., proposes
to tickle with a demonstration in
honor of Prince Henry.
There is the French vote, the whisky
vote, the Irish vote, the Orange vote,
the Catholic vote, and now on top
of all these and many others is piled
the German vote.
Canadians and Prohibitionists are
two elements In the population which
have not a vote they can call their
own.—Hamilton (Canada) Telegram.
CHINESE CURIOS
f
J
Metal Figures for Temples.
The American Museum of Natural
History in New York has recently
been enriched by the addition of a
valuable collection of Chinese curios
and works of art. This collection is
the first instalment of the purchases
made in China by Dr. Berthold Laufer.
who went to tlie far east in the inter
est of the museum last June. He will
remain In China several years, and
the works of art, the antiques and
curios which he will send will be of
great value to the student. The recent
shipment includes a huge carved state
bedstead and many costly household
articles, which show that the Chinese
have expensive habits in that direc
tion. There are hundreds of paint
ings which have uot yet been placed
in the rases. These represent the
work of Chinese ‘'old masters” and ar
tists of the present time. The carv
ings are also representative of various
periods. In the ivory collection there
are many gaining devices, and some
of the dice and playing cards are
beautifully wrought. Several cases
are filled with ‘made up” garments
for men and women. Most of these
are elaborately embroidered and deco
rated. Near these are specimens of
embroidered and painted fans and
decorations worn by women of high
rank on festive occasions. A number
of shelves are devoted to men's head
gear. The folded cloth caps of thn
peasant, the queer little hat of the
rustie official, the raps of the great
and of the small merchant.and the fur
bound and fringe bedecked hat of the
high official and learned man are not
able objects of the collection. Near
these hats and caps are the head
dresses of noble women, covered with
bunches of red braid and silk flowers,
and close to these, resembling them In
i many respects, are the gaudy head
dresses worn on the stage by imper
sonators of female characters, and
a collection of masks, also used on the
stage.
Among the “domestic articles"
which have been placed in the eases
the crude carpenters tools, primitive
scales and kitchen utensils will be
found highly interesting.
On tile same iloor and adjoining the
Chinese collection is the Corean ex
hibit, which contains a fine model »f
a Corean farmhouse, specimens of ag
ricultural and household implements,
and many articles of dress used by
the Coreans, together with weapons of
war and the chase. The Chinese de
partment, as a whole, is one of the
notable features of the museum, and
even in its incomplete condition will
lie found a valuable aid to the student
of Chinese history and literature.

DAREDEVIL RIDER “LOOPS
THE LOOP” ON A BICYCLE
A group of circus men. newspaper
men and photographers last week saw
a dare-devil bicycle rider loop the loop
at Coney island. With no other aid
than the velocity accumulated by a
rush down a steep incline the man
rode up the concave surface until he
hung head downward and continued
on down out of the loop to dismount,
cool and collected. 100 feet away.
The bicyclist was Robert B. Van
dervoort. an electrician, who has gone
over the loop-the-loop railroad known
to almost every visitor to Coney Is
land until he has come to look upon
centrifugal force as a real, tangible
tft'.-'g
Time ard again he made the circuit
standing up straight in the car. Last
October he saw a bicyclist attempt to
loop the loop, saw him fall and be
dreadfully hurt; saw what was need
ad to accomplish the looping success
fully, and himself practiced and plan
ned until he accomplished the thrill
ing act safely. An incline and loop
was especially constructed. It is
movable and will paca into a com
paratively small space.
r
At its highest end the incline is
thirty-eight feet above the floor of the
Sea Beach Palace. The inclined sur
face is 100 feet long. The loop has a
vertical diameter of twenty-one feet,
four inches, but reckoning from the
lowest level of the inclined surface of
the loop, the distance is twenty-four
feet. The loop has a horizontal
diameter of eighteen feet.
The riding surface is three feet wide
at its narrowest point, where the loop
begins, and twelve feet wide at the
end of the loop. A black stripe a foot
wide serves to guide the rider in his
head-over-heels trip.
Vandervoort's wheel is one especi
ally constructed for the daring ride.
It weighs about sixty-five pounds, has
pneumatic tires on broad rims of steel,
no pedals, no chain or gearing and no
brake. There is no way for the rider
to stop himself once mounted and in
motion, except to fall off, and there
is no mechanism to allow of the
rider’s attaining motion. It has two
footholds for the rider’s feet, where
the crank shaft of a bicycle usually
is.
The thought of such a mass flashing
along a surface at a speed sufficient to
counteract for the moment the force
of gravitation made those who were
about to witness Vandervoort’s exhibi
tion feel creepy.
Vandervoort was quite cool. Crying
out that he was ready, he shot down
the incline. Engineer Prescott ex
plained that the speed was thirty-five
miles an hour. Vandervoort began his
ascent of the concave surface as
straight and true as a bird might fly.
Everyone who saw the exhibition
was intent to see Vandervoort hang
downward for the moment he was
passing the zenith of the loop. But
he was past and out of the loop be
fore those who watched could compre
hend.
A rope arranged high enough to
catch his handle bar and run through
pulleys with a graded resistance help
ed to stop Vandervoort. The time was
6 2-5 seconds.
No matter how much money you
may have, if you are poor in character,
that means poverty for ever.
