“PE-RU-NA SAVED MV LIFE,” - Writes Mrs. W. McRoberts. - Women Made Strong and Happy Mothers. Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs is a Frequent Cause of Barrenness. Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catarrh From the System. O the woman of ancient Israel not to become a mother was regarded as — the greatest of earthly calamities. To become a mother—more especially the mother of a strong, healthy boy—was the height of glory for the faithful woman of the good old liible days. Even now, when ma ternity is not esteemed as of yore, the mother of healthy children is an object of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her neighlwrs. As compared with ancient peoples, the average American woman has a low appreciation of motherhood. There are, however, a great many exceptions to this statement. The accompanying letters from grateful women who have been made strong, healthy and happy mothers need no added words of ours to make them convincing. Catarrh had weakened and impaired their entire systems. Peruna made them sound and well. Mrs. L. M. Griffith, Arco, Idaho, writes: “Your medicine did me a wonderful amount of good. It cured me of barren ness. I am 30 years old and never hat! any children: but since beginning vour medicine A YOUNG MOTHER'S LETTER. Mrs. W. McKoberts, writes to Dr. . lartman from Delano, Miss., the following: '[ Delano, Miss. ] i Doctor S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio: . [ IDear Sir:--“ I feel perfectly well of cctarrh. I did as you directed me |1 to and took Peruna and ManaUn.

'[ “ There are three or four of my neighbors using Peruna now, since It \ j did me so much good. They were just run down, and they think it Is j, tine. It Is so good to give strength.”—Mrs. W. McKoberts. ,| 1 pave birth to a 10-pound baby girl. She is now six months old and weighs 25 pounds. My friends were all surprised. Some would not believe it until they came to see me. " My husband says he never saw such a change in any one as there was in me after 1 had taken three or four bottles of l’eruna. I am stronger than I have been since 1 was quite young. God bless you and your med icine forever. I can not tell you all. My letter is too long already; but I will say Peruna cured me. I never saw or heard of anything half so good. I can never thank you enough for your kindness. In cases of la grippe it works like a charm. It cured my baby when other medicines failed. She was real bad with la grippe.”—Mrs. L. M. Griffith. Mrs. E. E. Thomas, Alpha, Mo., writes: " I have used your Peruna and Manalin. I had been doctoring for several years, but kept petting worse. One day a neighbor woman brought me your book, the "Ills of Life," and wanted me to take your med icine. I told her that I had given up all hope of ever getting well. I had tried so much medicine. My neighbors thought I was nearly dead with consumption. "Finally I concluded that 1 would make a last trial. So my husband got me a l»ottle of Peruna and Manalin. 1 commenced I faking them according to directions. That I was two years ago. A year ago last No vember I gave birth to a 10-pound habv ; boy, who is well and hearty; and I am doing my own housework. I can never give reruca too great praise.

Her Equanimity Disturbed. Pn one occasion Mrs. Patrick Camp bell was playing In “The Trumpet Call” at a London theater. In the middle of a strenuous scene the audi ence was horrified to see that the skirt of her dress had “come undone.” It slipped until It had almost reached her knees before Mrs. Campbell noticed it. Then she grabbed and pulled back the garment, at the same time fairly hypnotizing the spectators with her blazing black eyes. The act was concluded somewhat hur riedly and the orchestra was Instruct ed to play fortissimo in order to drown the remarks Mrs. Campbell was addressing to her maid. Was in Doubt Himself. An Englishman used to meet the great philosopher. Arthur Schopcn hftugcr every morning w alking with his ugly poodle along the promenade in Frankfort-on-the-Main. Shopenhauer’s eccentric appearance, deeply Immersed in thought, excited the Englishman's curiosity to such an extent that one day he could contain himself no longer and. walking up the philospoher, ad dressed him abruptly thus: “Tell me. sir, who in the name of fate are you?” "Ah!" Schopenhauer replied, ”1 only wish I knew that myself.* DR. COFFEE Discovers Remedies That Restore Sight to Blind People. Dr. W. O. Coffee, a noted oculist, RBO Good Block.

Dr. Patton was delivering a lecture I recently in his course on ethics at the Princeton Theological seminary and experienced much annoyance because some of the students ate peanuts in stead of'attending to him. Finally he administered this rebuke: •'Gentlemen. I have delayed starting the most im portant part of to-day’s lecture hoping that the stock of peanuts would be consumed and a restful quiet be re stored. As the quantity seems ample to meet the demands and the supplj appears inexhaustible, I feel con strained to request that your appetites be restrained until the conclusion of this lecture. I would bo greatly pleased if in the future anyone wish ing to conduct a 5 o’clock tea in the classroom would confine the refresh ments to sponge cake.” Feels Younger and Stronger. Festus, Mo., May 4th.—Mr. January S. Lilly, a highly respected old gentle man, aged 76, and whose home is in Festus, says: “For many years I was failing in health. My kidneys were weak and gave me no end of trouble. I had pains in my back and hips so bad that I could not sit up straight without bracing mV back, and could not sit only a few minutes in any one posi tion. "I had to get up during every night very frequently to relieve myself. “Our doctor said I bad Kidney and Bladder Inflammation. I have suffer ed for over five years In this way, always worse at night. "I could get no relief, and was get ting worse till I used Dodd's Kidney Pills. “After I had used a few boxes of this remedy I felt stronger and better than 1 have for years and years. My pains all left me and I can rest and sleep. "Every old man or woman who feels as 1 felt should use Dodd’s Kid ney Pills and I am sure they will not be disappointed. They brought xlo out wonderfully," Man born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble—and the fuller he is of trouble the fewer his days. "Orders" the One Thing Wanted \ "Old Gorgon Graham" Gives His Son Pierrepont a Fen Pointers on the Duties of a Drummer, When the I Latter Starts Out on the Road ior the First Time. Dear Picrrepont: When I saw you start off yesterday I was Just a little uneasy; for you looked so blamed im portant and chesty that 1 am inclined to think you will tell the first custom er who says he doesn't like our sau sage that he knows what he can do about it. Repartee makes reading lively, but business dull. And what the house particularly needs is more orders. Sausage is (he one subject of all others that a fellow in the", parking business ought to treat solemnly. Mali' the people in the world taae a joke seriously from the start, and the other half if you repeat it often enough. Only last week the head of our sausage department started to put out a tin-tag brand of frankfurts, but i made him take it off the mar ket quicker than lightning, because 1 knew that the first fool who saw the tin-tag would ask if that was the li cense. And, though people would grin a little at first, they'd begin to loc k serious alter a while; and when ever the butcher tried to sell chem our brand they'd Imagine they heard the bark, and ask for "that real coun try sausage" at twice as much a pound. A real salesman is one part talk and nine-parts judgment; and he uses the nine-parts of judgment to tell when io use the one-part of talk Goods ain't sold under Marquess of Queensberry rules any more, and you'll find that knowing how many rounds the Old 'Un can Inst against the Boiler Maker won't really help you to load up the junior partner with our Corn-fed brand hams. A good many salesmen have an idea that buyers are only interested in baseball, funny stories, and Tom Lipton, and that business is a side line with them, but as a matter of fart mighty few’ men work up to the posi tion of buyer through giving up their office hours to listening to anecdotes. 1 never saw one that liked a drummer’s jokes more than an eighth of a cent a pound on a tierce of lard. What the house really sends you out for Is orders. Of course, you want to be nice and mellow with the trade, but always re member that mellowness carried too far becomes rottenness. You can buy some fellows with a cheap cigar and some with a cheap compliment, but there's no objection to giving a man what ho likes, though I nefev knew smoking to do anything good except a ham. or flattery to help any one ex- 1 ccpt to make a fool of himself. Real buyers ain't interested in much besides your goods and your prices. Never run down your competitor's brand to them, and never let them run down yours. Don't get on you.' knees for business, but don’t hold your nose so high in the air that an order can travel under it without your seeing it. You’ll meet a good many people on the road that you won't like, but the house needs their busi ness. For your own satisfaction I will say right here that you may know you are in a fair way of becoming a good drummer by three things: First—When you send us Orders. Second—More Orders. Third—Big Orders. If you do this you won't have a great deal of time to write long let ters, and we won’t have a great deal of time to read them, for we will be very, very busy here making and ship ping the goods. We aren't specially interested in orders that the other follow gets, or in knowing how it hap pened after it has happened. If you like life on the road you simply won't let It happpn. So just send us your address every day and your orders. They will tell ns all that we want to know- about "the situation.'’—From "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son,’’ by George Horace Lori mor.

Blackmail Levied by Turkish Officials Barefaced Extortion Practiced by Governors Who Have the Backing of the Palace Clique—Unfortunate Property Owners Have No Means of Redress. A correspondent writes from Beirut: ‘Those who watch events in Turkey are familiar with the more brutal methods of oppression and extortion, but cannot always understand the more polite methods of the corrupt officials in the larger cities. The peo ple of Beirut, Syria, have just been treated to an extortion of blackmail that is worthy of being recorded. Some two years ago the Governor, Itashid Pasha, a man whose father and grandfather before him were all favorites of »he 'Palace clique’ in Con stantinople and who has held his pres ent post so long through the influence of that personification of misrule, suc ceeded in getting an imperial com mission to come down and make a new valuation of all the property in the city. This commission set about and did its business in the approved Turk ish way. Those who approached the members in the proper way and with enough gold in their hands succeeded in keeping the taxable value of their possessions at the old figures, while those who did not do so found the values of their houses greatly in creased. According to Turkish law, when a man feels that he is being rated too high, or higher than his nearest neighbors, he can present a petition asking for a new survey of the property in question and theoretically obtain justice. As a matter of fact hundreds did file their protests against the unrighteous discriminations and unfair increase, but all these petitions were filed and never heard of again. Seeing that the new* tax lists will be issued after March 13 on the basis of the new valuation, the city began to get nervous about the matter. Careful inquiry concerning the fate of tho many petitions filed brought forth a curt answer from the Vali that none of them would ever be heard of and that ail efforts to push them would be fruit less. At the same time a way of re lief was pointed out to all who wished to avail themselves of It. Whoever wished his property valuation to go back to the old figure could have it so at once by paying to the Vail and his associates three times the amount of the increase demanded. The time being short and all hope of righteous redress being denied, the people have made haste to avail themselves of this door of escape and the unholy business is at this moment in full blast. We know one man, acting for himself and a few of his family, who has paid over 1,200 Turkish pounds into the Vali's hands, or rather into the hands of his accredited agent. It is estimated that the Vali will pocket in this transaction something like 50, UOO Turkish pounds, or, as some esti mate it, as much as 100,000 pounds. Of course it is well known that he must share this unrighteous gain with his hackers at the palace, or he could never venture to do such barefaced blackmailing.—Ix>i:don Times. Eclipse of a Bad Man Desperado's Sway Was Broken When He Met a Man of Real Nerve—Incident of the Days That Have Long Since Disappeared, Never to Return. “I am glad *t> be able to ray that the old-time feuds which used to pre vail in my state have died out, and that the wholesale killings which ac companied them are nothing but un pleasant memories,” remarked Oapt. N. M. HanRon of Galveston, United States marshal for the southern dis trict of Texas, at the Riggs house. "It was my fate to know some of the bad men who turned things up side down In Southern Texas a quar ter of a century ago. They are about all dead, and no successors can take their place, for our people will never again tolerate such disturbers of the peace. One of the worst of the 'bad men’ of that day was the notorious John Wesley Hardin. It was his boast that he had killed twenty-eight men. For a long time he was the ter ror of Gonzales county, and of all the surrounding country. He was an in corrigible cattle and horse thief, and a murderer who killed without re morse. “Finally a day of reckoning came and he was caught and sentenced to a twenty-five year term in the state penitentiary at Huntsville. He wasn't, a model prisoner and had to be whipped a time or two, but at length he emerged from prison and went l lick to the scene of his former crimes. A hot local political fight in giving the election of a sheriff of Gonzales county, was on and Hardin took an active part in the contest. He was still regarded as dangerous and greatly dreaded. One day he and the Candida to against whom he was work ing met. and a quarrel ensued. This candidate, Jones by name, was as fearless u man as ever lived, and the way he denounced Hardin was some thing to remember. “ ‘You have,’ he said, ‘according to your own boasts, killed twenty-eight men. I am hero to say that never a one of the lot did you slay when he had his face toward you. Every man of them was shot in the back. You are a great big coward as well as a murderer, and I will give you >1,000 if you will dare to contradict what I have said. I can make any 16-year old boy in town whip you.’ 'Hardin didn’t open his mouth, but slunk away, followed by a storm of Jeers. He left the county, and was shortly afterward killed In El Paso.” —Washington Post. Ernie (bitterly)—“The idiot! If he would stop drinking my people would let him call on me again."
