Miss Della Janveau, Globe Hotel, Ottawa, Ont., is from one of the oldest and best
known French Canadian families in Canada. In a recent letter to The I’eruna Medicine
Co., of Columbus, Ohio, she says :
“ Last spring my blood seemed clogged up, my digestion poor, my
head ached and I felt languid and tired all the time. My physician
prescribed for me, but a friend advised me to try Peruna. / tried it
and am pleased to state that I found It a wonderful cleanser and pur
ifier of the system. In three weeks / was like a new woman, my
appetite had increased, I felt buoyant, light and happy and without
an ache or pain. Peruna is a reliable family medicine.”
Adia Brittain, of Sekitan, O., writes:
"After using your wonderful Peruna
three months 1 have had great relief. I
had continual heaviness in my stomach,
was bilious, p'd had fainting spells, but
they all have lett me since using Peruna."

How a Drummer Got Eveth _
_ f .
Lost Money in the South and Sent a Gambler to Recover 11
Well at Meridian, La., Got Its Name from Inc is
dents Connected \*ilh Story.
t i
"Tn Meridisn," said a visitor, “Is a
well situated in the heart of the city
that is known as the 'Daugherty well.’
That Isn’t its. official title,” he con
tinued, ‘ but most of the beys about,
town call it that. John Daugherty was
a former Cincinnati gambler who
came South years ago to get even with
five merchants in a town who had won
several thousand dollars in a poker
game from an Ohio drummer who. re
turning home, got Daugherty to go to
this place and win his money back for
him. The ’professional’ arrived in the
little town ready for business. He
had laid his plans well. First he had
sent a negro there and had all the
playing cards bought.
‘ The negro was followed by a man
selling cards. The stores dealing in
pasteboards were in need of some at
once. When could the drummer get
an order filled? The drummer told
them that he had a hundred parks In
his trunk—samples that he would dis
pose of at less than cost—and again
the stores had a supply. That night
Daugherty was there and In about
three days he had about all the ready
money that could be scraped together
in that vicinity. Then he took a train
for the north, but was captured at
Meridian and detained there for inves
tigatlon. * 1 l,l‘
"While his trial was going on ne got
acquainted with some of the local
sports and concluded to make Meri
dian his home. The police attempted
to make it so warm for him that he
would leave, but they didn't succeed.
About this time the city concluded to
dig a well. Workmen would shovel
away dirt for a week or so and then
stop. After a while, however, they
would resume. Daugherty at about
this time was being titled regularly on
the 1st of each month $100 and costs.
Then, by the 3d, men would tackle the
well once more. This thing ran along
for months. One day Daugherty went
to the marshal and asked him how
much money it would take to complete
the hole in the ground: that he would
pay it then and let the well be fin
ished. But of course the marshal
wouldn't listen to any such proposi
tion. The end of the month came
along and Daugherty, standing in front
of the St. Charles hotel and seeing the
idle tools, remarked: Well, next
Thursday will be the 1st and I’ll bet
a hundred work will be commenced
next Monday.’ Sure enough his pre
diction came true and by Wednesda>
water had been found.”—New Orleans
Tlmes-Democrat.
The Cowboy and Hi's Gun,
Popular Belief in the Marksmanship of the Men of the Prai
ries Declared by a Montana Ranchman to Be Erro
neous—Quickness in Drawing the Requisite.
“I don't blame any one for regard
ing with suspicion some of the stories
about the dexterity of the 'bad men’
with the revolver,” said a Montana
ranchman now in New York. “1
think the persons who write fiction
for the magazines are responsible for
the impression that every cowboy
can drive tacks with his six’ at fifty
paces. As a matter of fact, the old
time ‘killer’ didn't pride himself so
much on his ability to hit a small
target as the speed with which he
could draw his gun. I have known
men to spend more time trying to
gel their revolvers out of their belts
in the wink of an eye, than they did
practicing at a mark.
"As a usual thing when a man
reeded a gun his opponent was only
a few feet away, often with his weap
on coekod and aimed. The man who
could whip out his revolver as he ap
parently obeyed the order to throw
up his hands was the real artist.
Billy Hamline, the only man who
ever made Buffalo Bill lay down,
used to practice by the hour for speed
in getting his revolver out. The
thought was never out of his mind.
If he reached for his pocket handker
chief it came out with a lightning
jerk. No matter what he did his
movements were as quick us a cat.
They had to be.
"The necessity for quickness was
what led to tho arm-pit' holster, a
sort, of waistcoat with pockets for re
volvers on each side. If you were to
order a man wearing one of these
contrivances to throw up his hands
he would do so. But when his hands
were in position you would be look
ing down the barrel of two ugly forty
fours—that is if he didn’t let you
have the contents without warning. I
knew ono man who was said to be
wanted in Texas who slept in his
arm pit holster lor a year. Day and
night, his guns were always with
him, for he never knew when a Lone
Star officer would come for him. At
last he grew nervous, borrowed a
horse from me and went up into the
British possessions, where he was a
cowboy when I last heard of him.”
Mental Stimulus as a Remedy.
Eminent Physician Asserts That Boredom is (he Cause of
Many Bodily illc Ailments Disappear Under
the Proper Treatment,
A groat many so-called illnesses are
probably the result of boredom—that
is, the lack of some mental stimulus
sufficiently strong to overcome the
frequent disquieting symptoms to
whic.n humanity is heir and which un
doubtedly can often be converted into
bona ride ailments by mental sugges
tion. This is certainly true of three
fourths of milady's indispositions, says
the Nev York Tribune, which disap
pear as :f by magic under the skillful
and tacti’ul treatment of a physician
who combines a knowledge of the
world with, the skill of an Aesculapius.
"Even a counter irritant is better
than a constant dwelling cn the one
idea." said tfco family doctor. "As an
illustration I had a patient who was
convinced thac her lungs were affected
rind that she would die ot' consump
tion. When I first examined her there
was nothing wrong, but she actually
developed alarming symptoms, simply.
I do believe, by dwelling on them and
lostering them; and I think she really
would hove gone into a decline If, as
luck would have it, she had not caught
tnc measles, and when she was cured
oi the latter the lung trouble was
gone.”
Give your daughter a very smart
walking costume, and tell her how be
coming it Is,” said another physician
with the wisdom of the serpent, "and
make up some theater parties for her;
she needs exercise and amusement;
that, is all that is the matter with
her.”
"That must lie wonderfully good air
at I’alm Beach,” said a husband whoso
wife was on the verge of nervous pros
tration and had been sent South to
recover. "Mary writes me she has
not had an ill moment since she got
there.”
"Poor man,” said his auditor to her
self as she smiled sympathetically.
"He does not know, and I dare say his
wife does not know either, that is was
pure boredom that ailed her. Now
that she is amused she is all right.”
HERE IS AN IDEAL FATHER.
Anyway, He Ha6 a “System” on Bring
ing Up a Boy.
Once In awhile there Is a perfect
father. He is the rr.ai» In 1,000,000.
I know such a one. "Bringing up a
boy,” said he in reply ta a friendly
comment upon his 10-year-old, “is like
keeping a set of books for a wholesale
and retail mercantile housa. There
are certain accounts in all businesses
that must enter into the question of
success or failure. You have profit
and less, wear and tear, depreciation 1
of plant, etc. Fathers, as a rule, nev
er place such accounts against their
sons. 1 figured out when mine came
to be about 4 and was beginning to
feel his oats that I must allow him a
certain amount of wear and tear,
deviltry and degeneracy, profit and
loss, depreciation and futures. 1
agreed with myself—and his dear
mother—that in his fifth year he
must raise h—1 about six times a day,
soil three suits of clothes, tell a few
white lies, be saucy to his mother,
and chum with me.
“If ho exceeded the allowance for
which he was credited I enetred Into
communion with him. In his sixth
year I learned that there was more
deviltry and wear and tear in him
than in bis fifth, so I expanded bis
credit, as it were, and never inter
fered with his allowance until he ex
ceeded it. Pretty soon, in his seventh,
eighth and ninth years, there was a
perfect understanding between us, and
we could talk over the matter like
two partners in a firm. If I seemed
to make too small an allowance for
wear and tear he would argue the sub
ject; and it was the same with every
other kind of steam that a healthy,
live boy with an active brain must let
out or burst. If I have succeeded thus
far in my first experiment, I may try
a second. My father cramped me to
death when I was growing up, and
perhaps it is due to that recollection
that I am allowing my boy plenty of
latitude and longitude. The main ob
ject is to improve the physical animal
in early youth, and no boy will grow
fat and solid, hearty, frank, fearless
and active if he is hounded for every
peccadillo. When my boy Is 12 I shall
pay closer attention to his mental de
velapment."—New York Press.

Hunt’s Copy with Decoys.
Clay Emory, author of “Cap n Titus"
and in private life Clinton Mayo, of
New York, says that he hunts copy
and local color with decoys. On the
shore of a little bay on the Massa
chusetts coast he has a boat house
equipped with comfortable chairs and
settees. A very ancient mariner in
the neighboring fishing village knows
the place and has a pipe marked with
his name tn the cupboard that hangs
on the boat house wall. When Mr.
Mayo is “at home’’ he hoists a big flag
on the top of a sixty-foot pole and then
the sailor folk flock down to the boat
house, levy on the host's tobacco, find
their especial pipe3 and spin yarns by
the hour.

Winston Churchill's fearlessness In

praise in England. He is said to pos

reverence for his ciders, the same
moeking sarcasm as his father, the
late Lord Randolph Churchill. A1
ready he has made any number of On

take themselves very seriously and to
whom it is not ngreeable to he held
up to public derision by one whom
they regard as a mere stripling. Hut.
young Winston rares little for the ani
mosity he excites and seems determin
ed to follow the policy of his father,
who was always a terror to his own
party.

honght that nothing could perma

"My kidneys seemed to be so large

needles were running through them.
I could not sleep on my left side for
years, the pain was so great In that

to urinate, and my urine was some
‘.imes clear and white as spring
water, and again it would be high
'■olored and would stain my linen.
The pain across my back was awful.
1 was ravenously hungry all the

"After I had taken Dodd's Kldr.ey
Pills for four days my kidneys pained
me so bad I could hardly sit down.
