PE-RU-NA STRENGTHENS
THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.
Mr. Chas. L. Sauer, Grand Scribe,
Grand Encampment. I. O O. F. of
Texas, and Assistant City Auditor,
writes from the City II all, San Antonio,
Tex.:
" Nearly two years ago I accepted a
position as secretary and treasurer
with one of the leading dry goods
establishments of Galveston, Tex.
" The sudden change from a high and
dry altitude to sea level proved too
much for me and I became afflicted
with catarrh and cold in the head, and
general debility to such an extent as to
almost incapacitate me for attending
to my duties.
"I was Induced to try Pcruna, and
after taking several bottles In small
doses I am pleased to say that I was
entirely restored to my normal condi
tion and have ever since recommended
the use oPeruna to my friends."

Delicacy Relished by All Animals
Even the Hippopotamus Devours
Them with Pleasure.
"The peanut Is a delicacy relished by
all creatures," said a New York animal
lover. "I have come to this conclusion
after having offered it to every animal
in the Central Park zoo, and having It
refused by none.
"Oh, I know It isn't allowed; but I'm
not one of those Individuals who offer
animals indiscriminate numbers of
hard-boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese
sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for
that soit of nuisance the rule about
feeding is made. A single peanut can't
ruin the digestion of a camel or of
any other creature, for that matter,
and I never visit the zoo without a
bag or two of those legumes to dis
tribute. "Yes, the camel is fond of them
very; and so are the peacocks. The
hippopotamus obligingly opens . his
mouth to let me toss one in, but the
mouth Is so large and the peanut so
small that I doubt if he can quite de
clde whether he likes it or not.
"The kangaroo pokes his - funny,
horse-like head out to me, munches the
peanut with relish, and then begs for
more. The elephant, deer, ostrich, and
even the lion, are all lovers of the pea
nut."
"Did my diamonds call forth any
comment?" asked Mrs. Cumrox. "Yes,
Indeed," answered Miss Cayenne. "I
heard several people refer to you a

HOME DRESSMAKING.
GENIUS OF WESTINCHOUSE
His Name Is Known, in Every Land
Where a Train Is Bua
i . . ning.
Here are a .few hints which the
home dressmaker will appreciate and
which, some of them, the professional
would do well to store away for use.
To prevent the otherwise Inevitable
sagging of the circular skirt, hang it
up by the bindfcg, or better still, on
the form, before the bottom is finished
and allow it to remain for three or
four days or even longer. Then trim
It off to the desired length and even
ness and you may rest secure in the
fact that it will remain a "good hang
ing skirt."
In sewing a lace frill on the stock
don't attempt it German fashion, "over
and over." It will stay "over" if you
do- Hold it straight with the collar
and run it on, then, even though close'
ly gathered, it will stand up as it
should.
If sleeves are too long or too full,
don't rip 'them out. First take a tuck
or fold in the tops, making them the
desired length, and baste. Try on, and
If right, then cut off the superfluous
material.
Keep a tiny vial of powdered slip
pery elm In your work basket, and
thrust the needle into it occasionally.
It helps to make sewing a pleasure.
Make a proper selection of needles.
That is, do not attempt to make a
coarse needle do fine work nor a very
fine needle carry coarse thread. The
rule works both ways wrongly.
' Beyond and above these "hints," re
member to sit properly and to take a
"breathing spell," if only a couple of
minutes, whenever there is a feeling
of exhaustion. Boston Budget and

George Westlnghouse has a creative
mind. There is no country in the
world where a train runs, or an engine
works, or a dynamo turns, in which his
name is not honored and familiar, says
Arthur Warren, in Success Magazine.
He has brought new mechanisms and
new industries into being; he has con
tributed largely to the progress in
modern methods of transportation and
communication which have shaped to
such an extent the relations between
individuals and communities, between
nation and nation. The post office, the
telegraph, the railway and the steam
ship unite the most distant regions.
Upon them modern life is wholly de
pendent in its social, industrial and
commercial phases. Stephenson gave
us the railway; Westinghouse made
the modern complex railway system a
possibility by his Inventions which
control the movements of trains. Had
he done no more than this his name
would still stand among the great
achievers.
George Westinghouse will be 60
years of age next October; he is built
on a massive scale, tall, and as strong
as a blacksmith. He is alert, farsight-
ed, quiet, sanguine and untiring, with
a constitution strong as nickel-steel.
He is a most agreeable man to meet,
and has a rare faculty for inspiring
others with his own enthusiasm.
A remarkable fact in his career Is
the early age at which he became
prominent. At the age of 22 George
Westinghouse made his first great in
vention, the air brake. This was the
source of his fame and fortune, and
since that time his life has been so
intimately associated with the history
of engineering and of manufacture that
it is impossible to think of many of
the great advances of the past 40 years
without thinking of him.
HE WON A FREE RIDE.
Hobo Thought Being Punched Was

A husky 200-pound man of the hobo
type worked a new game upon a South
ern Pacific passenger conductor the
other night, says the Houston Post.
The man boarded the train at San An
tonio and took his seat in the forward
smoker, and apparently sank into a
deep slumber. His snores resounded
through the car. At intervals through
out the all night ride to Houston the
conductor, aided by the trainmen, tried
to arouse him so as to get his ticket
They pounded him, pulled his ears.
his nose and jabbed him all over the
body with their fists. He slept through
it all, or at least he appeared to be
asleep.
Just as the train was pulling into
the yards at Houston he cut short a
snore, roused himself, opened his eyes
and sat up in his seat. The conductor
was entering the coach and saw that
his troublesome passenger was awake
at last. Without a word the conductor
touched him upon the arm and called
for his ticket. The man felt through
his pockets with a sleepy air.
"I'll declare, I forgot to buy a tick
it," he announced.
"If you have no ticket you can pay
me the fare; it is $6.30," the conductor
said.
The man looked up at the conductor
and a smile spread over his face.
"Say, you had a lot of fun with me
last night; don't you think it was
worth $6.30 to you'?" he asked.
Struck with the humor of it, the con
ductor returned the smile of the man,
and said: "You earned the ride."
The conductor passed on, and the
passenger alighted at the depot at
Houston. He carried no baggage. He
was heard to remark to a fellow hobo
later in the day that being punched
around by a conductor felt better than
"riding the rods."
A Good Reason.
One of the American visitors who
have been swarming into Oxford was
surprised to learn from a porter at the
station that he had about another mile
to cover before he reached Magdalen.
He asked "why the blazes the station
Jiad been built so far from the col
eges." The Oxford porter replied,
jgravely: "I dunno, sir; but I 'spect
they thought it more handy to have it
down here by the railway."
New Mountain line.
A wonderful mountain railway is be
ing constructed in the Tyrolese Alps
by a Swiss engineer named Strubb, of
flarens, near Montreux. When com
pleted this line will achieve the Euro
pean record, which has been held by
the Stauserborn railway, for traversing

World.
Need New Rolling Stock.
Railway companies in Argentina
have been notified that they must
make large additions to their rolling
stock during this year, so as to be bet

England's Locomotive Exports.
Exports of locomotives from Eng

shipments to South America.

Laxat
IVE OF
UALITYI
There are two classes of remedies; those of known qual
ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting
gently, in harmony with nature, "when nature needs assist
ance; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo
rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural
functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of
the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of
plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup,
. in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con
tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system
gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti-
; pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi
ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the
remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with
the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know
of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience
that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that
it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really
represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence,
containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character.
There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed
as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence
of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go
elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known
article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know,
and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect
its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.
To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said
that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional
integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer
imitations of the

Maiden, iilass., recently the teacher
of a class of small boys inquired of
each one if he thought he had been
a better boy during the year. Each
answer was in the affirmative except
one little fellow about eight years
old, who was conspicuous for his si
lence.' The teacher put the question
to him a second time, when with con
siderable earnestness he replied: "I
am Just as worse as I ever was."

The early stages
were principally
backache and

pain, but I went
along without
worrying much
until dropsy set
In. My feet and ankles swelled up, my
hands puffed, and became so tense I
could hardly close them. I had great
difficulty in breathing, and my heart
would flutter with the least exertion. I
could not walk far without stopping
again and again to rest. Since using
four boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills the
bloating has gone down and the feel
ings of distress have disappeared."

First of Grange Banks.
The opening of a bank with a cap
ital of $25,000 in Tioga, Pa., would
not, under ordinary circumstances,
constitute a notable event, but as the
bank is organized under the auspices
of the State Grange, is owned and man
aged by grangers, and is designed to
be he first of a series of grange banks,
its opening is very interesting.
