A PROMINENT COLLEGE MAN.
One of Indiana’s Useful Educators Says:
“I Feel Like a New Han.”
Mr. John W. Meng, 54 Jefferson Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., State Representative of
Indianapolis Husiness College, writes:
•• I firmly believe that I owe my line health to Peruna. Constant travel
and change of food and water wrought havoc with my stomach, and fhr months
/ suffered with Indigestion and catarrh of the stomach. I felt that the only thing
to do was to give up my occupation which I felt very reluctant to do. Seeing
an ad. of Peruna as a specific for catarrh I decided to give it a trial, and used
It faithfully for six weeks, when I found that my troubles had all disappeared
and I seemed like a new man. / have a bottle of Peruna in my grip all the
time, and occasionally take a few doses which keeps mein excellent health.”—
John W. Meng.
THE most common phases of summer
catarrh are catarrh of the stomach
and bowels. Peruua is a specific for
summer catarrh.
Hon. Willis Brewer. Representative in
Congress from Alabama, writes the follow
ing letter to Dr. Hartman :
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C.
The Peruna Medirfne Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen—“I have used one bottle of
Peruna for lassitude, and I take pleasure in
recommending it to those who need a good
remedy. As a tonic it is excellent. In the
short time I have used it it has done me a
great deal of good."—Willis Brewer
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.

beauty to weary women, who have
been prematurely aged and Invalided
by these distressing ailments, as well as
such sympathetic afllicttons as ancemia,
chlorosis, hysteria, nervousness and

Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford Immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy which have made the Cutlcura
remedies the standard skin cores and
humour remedies of the civilized world.
Millions of the women use Cutlcura

for preserving, purifying and beauti
fying the skin, for cleansing the scalp
of crusts, scales and daudruff, and the
stopping of fulling hair, for softening,
whitening and soothing red, rough and

many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves, as
well as for all the purposes of the toilet,
bath and nursery.

“Lords” Not All Hereditary.
The British house of lords has long
since ceased to be a strictly heredi
tary body. Over 200 of Its 590 mem
bers owe their presence to other
causes than descent. Quite a number
of the hereditary lords are debarred
from voting by the fact that they are
either minors, undischarged bank
rupts or inmates of lunatic asylums.
The non-hereditary lords comprise the
archbishops and bishops of the
Church of# England and those who
have been created peers by Queen Vic
toria and King Edward for special
services renedered to the crown.
Albania's Mighty Soldiers.
Albania lies 180 miles on the Adri
atic sea and is fifty to 100 miles wide.
It was formed originally, sasv William
Jackson Armstrong in his "Heroes of
Defeat,” from part of Ilyris, all of
Epirus and part of Macedonia in the
eleventh century. From this territory
sprug Pyrrhus, who defeated the Ro
man invader; Philip and Alexander of
Macedon, the Conquerors; Perseus,
whose fame as a soldier covered the
world sixty years after Christ, and
Skanderbeg, who for forty years de
feated armies sent against by the
Turk. Ancient Albania lay in Asia,
Just east of the Caucasus.
A Woman’s Back.
Dublin, Mich., June 29th.—To th#
many women who suffer with weak
back and pains and tired feelings In
the small of the back, the experience
of Mrs. Fred Chalker of this place
will be interesting and profitable.
Mrs. Chalker had suffered a very
great deal with these back pains and
although she had tried many things,
she could find nothing tnat would re-,
lieve her. The pain kept on in spite
of all she could do.
At last she chanced to read the
story of another lady who had suf
fered with the backache, and raid she
had been cured by a remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs. Chalker,
thonght she would try the same tniug.
After the first two boxes had been
taken according to directions, she be
gan to feel some better, and ahe kept
on till at last she was cured.
Her pains are all gone, and she ts
very grateful. She sues: “Dodd's
Iwdney PHIb helped me greatly, and
I will always recommend them as a
cure for Pain in the Back.”
There are some positions that seem
to require men who don’t know very
much.
HARP ALWAYS THE PRIDE j
OF THE EMERALD ISLE j
Long before history had trodden a
jatnway across the insecure ground
if legend and tradition the Irish harp
vas alike the reflex and interpreter
it popular feeling. Perhaps it may
ie said to have come popularly into
be general view when James I.
Paced it in the third quarter of the
oyal arms of Great Britain. But a
.•entury before this Henry VIII. had
.mpressed a harp on the Irish eoin
ige; a seemingly prosaic fact which
,’ct cannot be divorced from the
?trong element of romance which per
ncates every phase of the subject,
'or it seems that a son of King Brian
3oru presented his father’s harp to
pope John XVIII. in 1003; and that
t was treasured In Home until Leo X.
?er.t it to Henry VIII. 500 years after
ward. He in turn gave it to the first
Karl of Clanricarde; and after pass
ing into the possession of several
Irish families Brian's storied harp
eventually found a homo in the col- !
lege museum in Dublin. But suppos
ing this venerable instrument to be
at least 1.000 years old, that la a mere j
trifle in the history of the harp—and 1
I
especially of the Irish harp.
We may accept the Thebian harp
as a pretty ancient representative of i
; its great family; but then the older;
Irish historians go hack to the deluge j
and It is only in the very mistland of j
antiquity that we lose touch with j
their national symbol. And even i
there we seem to catch the echo of j
its strains.
But though boasting of such a re
mote past, the Irish harp is simply
an adaptation of an instrument com
mon to central and northern Europe,
We find it in the hands of the Ger
man and Celtic bards, and of the
Scandinavian skalds; and every race
has been able to impress upon it
something of its own peculiar genius.
The violin is Italian in its birth, and
it is said to be anima'ed by un Italian
soul. And in like manner, such of
the old Irish music as has come
down to us essentially consists ».f
strains of the harp. This, however, is
not surprising, for we are told that
"long before the lyre was known in
Home or Greece the Gael of Ireland
had attained a high degree of perfoe- I
tion in the form ar.d management of
the harp. Not to lie capable of sweep
ing it in a masterly manner was
deemed a disgrace even to royalty.”
This, however, wes not solely an Irish
ieeling, but that of almost every peo
ple among whom the harp flourished.
In medieval times it was regarded at
the king of musical instruments,
'hietly because no other provided
such an effective accompaniment for
the voice. The national feeling arous
ed by it was nowhere expressed mere
strongly than in Ireland, and the
cloud of legends, traditions and an
cient superstitions which in that
country seem essentially to cling to
it are its peculiar but very natural
heritage. The harp is the especial
pride of the green isle.
HOW KENTUCKY JURY GOT j
1 EVEN WITH TRICKY THIEF \
Ex-Gov. W. O. Bradley says that
one never knows what a jury will do.
1 "Juries are just as uncertain as kick
I ing mules,” he declared. “A lawyer
never knows what may influence a
juror’s mind, and too frequently mat
ters other than the law and the facts
in a case determine verdicts.
“Down in my county years ago a
fellow was accused of manslaughter,
and he came to me and employed me
to defend him. At first it looked like
the poor devil had a had case, but
after I had heard his story, I be
came convinced that, he would have
no difficulty in proving that he shot
in self-defense.
”1 went into the trial with a deter
mination to get him off. I felt that
he was being grossly mistreated and
unjustly accused, and I had the evi
dence on which I based my opinion.
I will venture to say that there was
not a man, woman or child who heard
the testimony who believed that my
client was guilty, and from a study of
the jurors' faces I had brought, my
self to believe that they were just as
strongly convinced that he was inno
cent.
"I made my argument, and I don't
believe I ever spoke with more earn
estness and more feeling. The court
ordered the jury to retire and make
a verdict, and I rat in my seat, be
lieving it wouldn’t take them long to
agree. I turned to my client and
said: ‘They will be bark here in fif
teen minutes and you will be ac
quitted.’
“There was a rap on the door of
the jury room, and the jurors filed
into the court room. The foreman
handed the verdict to the clerk, who
read: ’We, the jury. fir.d the defend
ant guilty, and fix his punishment at
ten years at hard labor in the state
penitentiary.’
“I was simply shocked. I walked
out of the court house and the first
man I met was the foreman of the
jury.
“ ‘Tom,’ said I, ’what in thunder
did you mean by making such a ver
dict as that? Don’t you know that
the law and the evidence did not war
rant any such verdict?”
“He called me to one side and said:
‘Bill, I’ll tell you about thal feller.
He’s been stealing mules and chick
ens in my neighborhood for ten years.
We’ve known all the time that he was
guilty, but he was so tricky we could
not get the proof on him. I told them
fellers on the jury about him, and we
all just agreed that we would soak
It to him ■while we had a good chance.
So we just give him ten years.”—
Louisville Courier-Journal.
| SINGING BULLET NOT THE j
MISSILE TO BE FEARED
<1 • A
“Don't be afraid of a bullet that
you’ve heard whistle,” said another
old soldier. "If It sings in your ear
rest assured that it will never harm
you. It is a fact, as any old soldier
will tell you, that you never hear the
bullet whjch hits you. It is a prob
lem of ‘windage,’ as the boys in the
army called it. In other words, the
bullet which you hear sing has al
ready sped past you, and the bullet
which hits you has hissed in the ear
of some other fellow in passing be
fore it got to you. It is a simple
proposition, after all. The singing of
the bullet is the atmospheric vibra
tion which is created and the resist
ance which the air ofTers to the prog
ress of the bullet. This cannot be
detected by the ear until the bullet
has crossed a parallel line with the
ear. It may sail over your head or
whizz close to the ground, but if it
passes you at all the car will catch
the sound of its flight. To the soldier
of many battles the voice of (he bul
let is music. He knows that he need
have no fear of the bullet that
sings in his ears. It is the bullet that
he does not hear that must be feared.
f
......
and it is this bullet which always
brings harm to him. No soldier ever
heard the bullet which inflicted a
wound on him. I wes amused by a
raw soldier who was attached to our
command. It was his first time on
the firing line. We were skirmishing
and some sharpshooters were having
some fun at our expense. A bullet
whizzed close to him. Faintly we
could hear the crack of the rifle, but
It was not distinct enough to alarm
even a novice. The singing of the
bullet, however, brought a blanched
expression to his fate. He did not
wince, however. We were lying In
the edge of the woods. Another bul
let buzzed by. ‘I don’t like the sound’
said the young soldier. Zip! Another
bullet split the air very close to his
head. He was paler still. ‘Comrade,’
he said to me, between bleached lips,
‘I don’t want to be shot from ambush;
let’s charge the devils.’ I told him
not to fear a bullet that had spoken
to him on Its flight, out he did not
like the idea of lying there in the
woods and listening to the voices of
these invisible messengers of death.’’

The Stork Came Back.
A Warsaw journal relates the fol
lowing story of an experiment made
by a Polish nobleman to ascertain how
far storks migrate during the winter.
He.caught a stork and attached a plate
to its neck on which were inscribed
the words: “Haec ciconia ex Polonia"
tThis stork .ernes from Poland).
In the following spring the same
stork was found in the nobleman’s
park with a bundle round its nock
containing several precious stones of
great value, and the metal plate with
these words on the other side: India
cum donis remittit Polonis" (India
sends him back with presents to the
Poles).
