COMMODORE NICHOLSON
Recommends Pe-ru-na-Other Promin
ent Men Testify*
Commodore Somerville Nicholson, of the
United States Navy, in a letter from 1837
R Street, N. W., Washington, D. C., says:
•• Your Peruna has been and is
now used by so many of my
friends and acquainances as a
sure cure for catarrh that I am
convinced of its curative qualities
and / unhesitatingly recommend
It to all persons suffering from
that complaint.”—S. Nicholson.
United States Minister to Guatemala
hndorses Pe-ru-na.
Dr. \V. Godfrey Hunter, U. S. Minister
to Guatemala, ex-member of Congress
from Kentucky, in a letter from Washing
ton, D. C., writes:
"I am fully satisfied that your Ferur.a
is an efficacious remedy for catarrh, as I
and many of my friends have been bene
fitted by its use.”—W. G. Hunter, M. D.
Member of Congress From Virginia
Writes.
Hon. G. R. Brown, Martlnville, Ya.,
ex-member of Congress Fifth District,
£Oth Congress, writes:
”1 cheerfully give my endorsement to
your Peruna as a cure for catarrh. Its
beneficial results have been so fully dem
onstrated that its use is essential to all
persons sutfering from that disease.”
—Hon. G. R. Brown.
The day was when men of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials to pro
prietary medicines for publication. This
remains true to-day of most proprietary
medicines. But Peruna has become so
justly famous, its merits are known to so
many people of high and low stations, that
no one hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsemeut. Men
representing all classes and stations are
equally represented.
JVicIwhOh
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 bo pleased
to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

The N e w
Tho New Woman, who glorified (ho
closing decade of the last century, has
been swept from her bloomers into
hblivlon, and from the cosmopolitan
'swirl of the present arises her suc
cessor, who wields a bewitching
sceptre o'er a wondering world from
a throne not made by chance. Aes
thetic ever, ascetic never, she is post
ed ia all the higher subtleties of pas
hion as told by yellow journals, yellow
inovels, and front her ov n personal
experience. A ready wit against the
’mistaken impressions of Others she
can unsheathe, and no use has she for
tho pathos of cheap romance. As
‘for her knowledge of the dynamical
relations between the emotions and
the gastronomical functions it is pro
found being in truth, common sense.
[She believes in roast beef, lollypops,
‘ice cream, as well ns in manicures
land tooth brushes and from her won*
•derful healtii and complexion one
.notices neither hysteria nor enamel
can claim her. She admires the
strenuous life, revels in tlie atmos
phere of the stage, the race track,
'golf, bridge, al fresco concerts, and
the ball room, and Is not at all averse
to smiling encouragingly upon the an
cestral countenance of a drossy
simian who condescends to enlighten
and enliven civilized society up-to
date with his own peculiar smiles
(bless his soul), so patiently express
ive of pleasant thoughts unutterable.
With the easy grace of a 2-year-old
she will jump any barrier that sepa
rates the most exclusive elite from
the rest of society, and finds nothing
in the presence of plutocrats or kiugs
to be amazed at. She understands.
What is more, they understand her.
or think they do, which, of course, is
the same thing—you understand.
Appreciating iho thousand discords
of the world and the wild harmonies
of the heart, she would throw herself
at romance for the mere sensation of
the thing rather than at a man's head,
which la, by the way. generally t.»c
soft or too hard, and so difficult to de
pend on. Aware of the fact that
Cupid’s game is not quite an exact
science, she guards her own secret
with a merry smile for others whom
the artful sprite has smitten, t'phraid
her for not having a soul, she will
reply that a violin has more of that
element than she ever dreamed <d
possessing: but if you can understand
the eye as thoroughly us she, you
will discover hv a glance at ln-rs lhat
she knows herself and the world very
well.
The United States is the producing
ground, par excellence, for her spe
cies, as well as the happy hunting
ground of the titled European for the
same, for reasons quite clear enough
to the living, dead and dying. Con
ventionality is a blight upon her
spirit, ns indeed it is upon the spirit
of the European during hunting trips.
As for her dislike to forms, It is dis
tinct, inasmuch as she regards them
as cunning veneers to hypocrisy,
which she abominates.
Phe believes in marriage, but you
have probably observed that their
husbands are quiet gentlemen iris
sessed of much latent determination
and a very impressing eye, factors not
only qualified by a certain intense
humor, but altogether exigible with
culture. You’ve probably, like the
smiling ladies themselves, . observed
this, and said nothing. -W. Fabian In
Philadelphia Ledger.
Could Not Shoot Doe.
There is a ''dry'' doe in the woods
of Price county, Wis., which owes her
life to the fact that she la not afraid
of .a light. This sort of deer is occa
sionally found by jack-hunters, but
not often. Two men went out after
doer along the north fork of Flambeau
Hirer last week. They were using a
flat bottomed boat, heavy ami clumsy,
and one of them drove it with a pole.
At half past 10 o’clock they saw a
buck. That is. they caught a glance
of his eye as he slewed his head
around and looked at them over his
shoulder preparatory to leaping to
bank. He started in half a second
and the powerful carbide lamp showed
just enough of him to expose his
horns as he went.
An hour later they rounded a bend
and the doe stood in full view. She
was in prime condition, fat ami sleek.
She was not more than twenty yards
distant and threw her head up and
glared at the light as soon as It came
within range. It is possible that the
brightness its rays blinded her.
7 he w ind was blowing from her to the
hunters so she could not scent them.
The man who was poling dropped
(he long pole, sat down and took up
the paddle. The boat, continued to
advance and the deer to stand still.
It crept on foot by foot and she be
trayed no nervousness. Now and (hen
she thrust her nose far upward, turn
ed her head to one side and expanded
her nostrils in the effort to sniff the
scent of the approaching party,, but
Tight did not occur to her.
The boat got within twenty feet oi
her. then within ten feet. Another
stroke of the naddle and it would
have been upon her. Theu she turn
ed toward tho bank and walked slriw
1$’ away. Twice she stopped and look
ed back at the light; once'she stop
ped, gathered a mouthful of water
grass and chewed it. Still at a walk,
never hurrying even into a slow trot,
she went up the bank and disap
peared.
All this time there had been a man
sitting with a high-power rifle just
behind the light. He wanted deer
meat badly, and could, of course have
blown a hole through the animal If he
ho had been so minded. In fact, he
could have knocked it down with the
guide’s polo which lay In the bottom
of tin- boat. He said afterward:
”1 could not shoot. She was a
very beautiful animal, standing re
lieved in the strong light, so that every
muscle showed. She looked straight
at me with her lustrous, large eyes,
that were not frightened, but merely
inquisitive, peering into the great
lamp to see if it contained anything
harmful or useful to her. She could
not see me, of course, as I was in
the black shadow behind the light,
but 1 could hardly persuade myself
that I was unseen. Killing that deer
would have been simple murder.”
The man got back to camp at 3 In
tho morning, without a shot fired, but
he says that he felt better for a clear
conscience.
Real Deed of Heroism.
Who can imagine a more deliberate
and cold-blooded bit of heroism than
that performed by Keeper W. W.
Greisser of the Buffalo life-saving sta
tion, who, in the teeth of an eighty
mile November gale, swam out in the
icy waters of Buffalo harbor to rescue
a man who was clinging to some pil
ing 500 feet from shore? At times
the seas broke over the man so deep
ly that he was lost from sight, and it
wag evident that In that awful weather
he would soon succumb and go to the
' bottom. Griesser saw him, and know
ing that it would be useless to attempt
to launch a boat, determined to
swim to him with a line. As he plunged
, Into the lake the mighty surf
caught him and flung him stunned
' npon the beach; but he was up and in
1 again, and this time gained the water
beyond the breakers. It took half an
{ hour for Griesser to swim 200 feet
' against the storm; then, coming to an
! old jjile, he wrapped his arm and legs
1 about It and rested for a few moments.
; The cold was intense, and his clothes
| were frozen to him when ho let go and
slid into the water, again to resume
his journey. At times he had to dive
; through the great combers to avoid
being buffeted back to shore, and threo
times a floating telegraph pole struck
him on the back with crushing force,
once almost rendering him uncon
scious. But he fought it out with in
credible courage, and at tho end of an
hour was near enough to throw the
line to the poor fellow, who was pit
eously crying for help. The half
frozen wretclr had only enough
strength left to tie the line about his
wrist, and then dropped into the water.
At that instant a wave caught and
fouled the line about the piling, and
hurled Griesser back a hundred feet
toward tho beach. Exhausted, but
not dismayed or beaten, he made re
newed efforts to regain lost ground,
and at the end of another half hour
had reached the man again, ^cleared
the fouled line, and given the' signal
to the people on shore to haul in.
In transmitting the gold medal
which congress had awarded to
Griesser for heroism, the secretary
of the treasury said: “It would seem
incredible but for Indisputable evi
dence, that you performed the marvel
ous feat, which was, indeed, effected
only at the extreme peril of your lif«.'’

The Turtle’s Eighty-One Lives.
The way eats cling to their prover
bial nine lives is well known, but the
average turtle will make a tougher
stand than nine ordinary cats. Per
taps boiling will kill a turtle at once,
but any other method seems hopeless.
The severed head of a snapping
turtle will bite for an hour after sepa
ration from the body. But more won
derful Is the indifference of the green
turtle of the West Indies to mutila
tion. A party of naturalists lately re
turned give an account of an experi
ment which proves beyond doubt that
the green turtle's intelligence does
not lie in its head.
A green turtle, found on the beach,
turned and made for the water. One
of the party severed its head with
an axe and ti.r-ed the body around.
The headless turtle ran, then stopped
aad turned towards the water again)

The Demand for “Change.”
There is over $100,000,000 in half
dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and
cents in circulation, about $80,000,000
i In silver dollars, $75,000,000 in one dol
lar bills and $15,000,000 in two dollar
bills. And still the cry Is for change,
change. In New York the street car
eompnnles instruct conductors to re
fuse anything larger than a $2 bill for
fare, owing to the Impracticability of
carrying enough change to break up
the fives and tens that would be forc
ed upon them. A majority of fares
aro paid in nickels, then come, in the
order named—dimes, quarters, halves
and pennies. There Is an occasional
dollar and now and then a $2 bill. Wo
men are responsible for most of the
paper money that goes Into the pock

ruined the child’s stomach. One of
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, bo 1 got some arid prepared It as
follows: I soaked tablespoonfuls
in one pint of cold water for half an
hour then I strained off the liquid and
mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strain
ed Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoon
; fuls of rich milk, put In a pinch of
salt and a little sugar, warmed it and
gave it to baby every two hours.
“In this simple, easy way I saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
