Dr J F Elisor Postmaster of Columbia

in charge of State Insane Asylum at
Columbia S C writes
After using your Peruna myself for
a short period and my family having
used and are now using the same with
good results and upon the Information
ofoiiiers who have been benefited by
It as a cure for catarrh and an invigor
ating tonic lean cheerfully recommend
It to alt persons requiring so effective a
remedy Dr J F Ensor
Hon C W Butts ex Member of Con
gress from North Dakota in a letter from
Washington D C says
That Peruna is not only a vigorous as
well as an effective tonic but also a cure of
catarrh is beyond contro rsy It is already
established by its use by the thousands who
have been benefited by it I cannot too
highly express my appreciation of its ex
cellence C W Butts
Dr R Robbins Muskogee I T writes
Peruna is the best medicine I know of
for coughs and to strengthen a weak stomach
and to give appetite Beside prescribing
it for catarrh I have ordered it for weak
and debilitated people and have not had a
patient but said it helped him It is an ex
cellent medicine and it fits so many cases
I have a large praqtice and have a
chance to prescribe your Perua I hope
you may live long to do good to the sick
and suffering
Only the weak need a tonic People are
never weak except from some good tause
One of the obscure causes of weakness and
the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh
Catarrh inflames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through the mucous membrane in the form
of mucous This discharge of mucous is the
same as the loss of blood It produces
weakness
Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents

the discharge of mucous This is why
Peruna is called a tonic Peruna does not
give strength by stimulating the nervous
system a little
It gives strength by preserving the
mucous membranes against leakage
It gives strength by converting the blood
fluids and preventing their draining away
in mucons discharges
Constant spitting and blowing the nose
will finally produce extreme weakness from
the loss of mucous
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to Dr Hartman giving a full
statement of your case and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice

Milburn Overcame Many Difficulties
It was of the late William H Mil
burn the blind preacher chaplain of
the house and afterward of the senate
that William R Morrison once said
Mr Milburn is a man who fears God
hates the devil and votes the straight
Democratic ticket Mr Milburn
life illustrates what one can do in the
face of hardships He was totally
blind before becoming of age but be

he kept fully posted on passing events

Kang Yu Wai a rich and powerful
Chinese reformer has come to this
country in the interest of a movement
to have his countrymen both at home
and abroad take up Western customs

Emperor Kwang Hsu to be ruler in
fact as well as in name Accordingly
he is safe only outside the Flowery
Kingdom for the dowager empress

throat At one time he was a member
of the Chinas ruling

him into disfavor and he left China

man of his race to advocate radical
reform is now on the Pacific coast or

Put Life in the Capitalist
Schemers Guarantee Thai He Could Infuse Energy Into
the Most Languid Certainly Borne Out by the
Results of the One Experiment
Greatest scheme in the world ho
exclaimed when he at last got the
ear of the capitalist All I need is
sufficient money to develop It
Yes returned tb capitalist dis
interestedly Ive heard something
to that effect from many many peo
ple
But I can prove it urged the
schemer Ive got the real thing all
others are imitation I can put en
ergy into the languid man I can
wake up the fellow who has the cus
tomary of early spring
and that means everybody
O there are lets of these spring
medicines asserted the capitalist
But they dont do the business
persisted the schemer and mine will
You know how it is in the spring we
all know Are you languid Are you
listless Are you tired Of course
you are You can hardly get up
enough energy to attend to your regu
lar business You long for something
that will reuse you that will make
you quick energetic and Eprightly
and I have it I dont ask you to take
my word for it I am prepared to offer
proof You are now listening to me
wearily but one of my capsules will
put life into you It will make you
spring lightly from your chair it will
lead you to caper liko a hoy on the
first day of vacation it will dispel
your lassitude and induce you to do
things Havent you at this very
minute the usual spring languor
I have admitted the capitalist
I am I confess enervated
Then take this said the schemer
producing a capsule If it does not
give you an interest in life I will re
tire without another word I am a
stranger to you and I do not expect
you to accept my unsupported state
ment I wish you to be convinced to
know that I speak the truth and really
have something that will do all I claim
for it Take it and swallow it Wash
it down with a little water if you wish
and then note the result
The capitalist tcok the capsule and
immediately thereafter he got up and
jumped over his chair
Didnt I tell you cried the
schemer exultantly No languor now
is there You are moved to action
you are lively
Water Water yelled the capi
talist as he cleared the top of his
desk and made a rush for the wash
room
Lcok hcv sprightly he is com
mented the schemer backing toward
the door But I dont believe Id
better wait I dent think hes in the
humor to invest just now
What is it roared the capitalist
Red pepper yen darned old rhir
flint answered the Bchemer as he
disappeared satisfied that an chl
grudge had been wiped out at last

Tip Was a Wrong One
Returned Spirit Made Trouble for Unfortunate BadDcbt Coh
lector Ghostly Visitor Very Badly Mixed in His
Dates Find Was Not Welcome
They had been talking about spir
its As far as ghosts are concerned
said the bad debt collector I had an
experience in that line once myself
I was lying in bed wide awake I al
ways insist that I was wide awake
I didnt dream it I was wide awake
when somebody or something tapped
me gs the shoulder I was frighten
ed to be sure and turned my head
Then I was scared almost to death
for there I saw the figure of a man
clothed in knickerbockers no cycling
outfit but the old fashioned knee
breeches with the long waistcoat the
long skirted coat and the three-cornered
hat My hair stood on end and
I was speechless He told me about
a man named Moore some one I had
never heard of who lived up in Al
bany This Moore it seems was
the ghosts great grandson and the
shade wanted me to straighten out
sonie legal snarl
The long and short of it was the
greatJgrandson was about to lose his
property that formerly belonged to
the ghost because the original will
could not be found The ghost tcld
me just how I could find Moores
house and said the will was in an old
chest in the garret So the net day
I started for Albany I arrived at
Moores all right and knocking at
the deer asked
Is this Mr Mocre
Yes said he
I saw your great grandfather last
nigfct said I
Youre a began Moon
Now never mind said I and then
I told him about the gaost And sure
enough there was a lawsuit We went
up to the garret and sure enough we
found the old chest just like they
do in those yellow covered books we
used to read and there was a false
bottom all right I was so excited 1
could hardly move as Moore pulled
it out and displayed a paper musty
and dusty with age
Um um murmured the man who
traveled for a soap house
The collector remained perfectly
quiet and finally the man who travels
for a soap house said cautiously
The will eh
No said the collector It was
an old bill for a pair of knee pants
and Moore to whom I had given my
business card kicked me clear out to
the front gate saying I couldnt come
any bad debt collecting games on
him
Took Him for a Woman
Idyllic Beauty of John Randolph ol Roanoke Led Guest ol
Prominent Southern Club Ino Deplorable Error At
the Grave ol the Great Southern Statesman
When I was In Richmond a few
days since said Mr Ridgely How
ard of Baltimore to a representative
of the Washington Star at the New
Willard I made one of those bad
breaks which prove so embarrassing
I was a guest of a member of the
crack Westmoreland club and after a
slight repast I was escorted through
the building for the purpose of view
ing the pictures relics of the civil war
etc During the tour mentioned my
attention was particularly attracted
to the portrait of what I took to be a
very handsome brunette I inciden
tally remarked to my host that the
young lady was quite pretty when
with a low chuckle he replied Yes
quite pretty but as a matter of fact
the picture represents John Randolph
of Roanoke at 18 You also smile
but let me explain how I was caught
The hair was parted in the middle and
neatly combed back of the ears the
features were of a purely feminine
mold and the expression of the
eyes and face was so shy and bashful
that you will readily understand how
I was deceived One can hardly con-
Number Nine on Wall Street
Seven has long been considered a
talismanic number but so far as Wall
street is concerned it would seem as
if the number 9 is of more import
ance
It was on May 9 1901 that Wall
street saw a great corner and panic
Northern Pacific stock on that day
rushing up to 1000 a share and prices
of other stocks smashing down 30 or
40 points bringing wreck and ruin to
thousands
That was a great bear day Sept 9
1902 was a great bull day for on that
date which marked the apogee of the
so called Gates boom in stocks the
highest level of prices for railroad
securities that Wall street has ever
seen was touched So far this year
the heaviest day of trading in stocks
was on Jan 9 which was also a big
bull day marking the culmination of
iie upturn in the market following the
nash in prices brought about by
ceive looking at the portrait of Ran
dolph at the age represented that he
could ever grow into the cynical and
disagreeable creature he is reported
to have been in his later years If he
ever had love affairs which went
wrong I have never heard of them
As near as I can learn he never had
any real ardent affection for any wom
an except his mother who it is said
was beautiful and whom it is also
said he closely resembled in beauty
as a child
Later in the day I paid a visit to
Hollywood cemetery a beautiful spot
and sought the grave of Randolph I
found it on a gentle slope overlook
ing the James It appears that some
twenty years ago or more the re
mains of Randolph were moved from
the lonely spot in the forest at Roan
oke to their present resting place by
the state authorities A marble slab
now covers his last resting place on
which is the following inscription
Here lies John Randolph of Roanoke
The only other words on the slab are
those giving the date of birth and
death
stringent money conditions late last
year And on April 9 the decision ad

in the Northern Securities company
was announced New York Sun
Town Given as a Pledge
Wismar a town on the Baltic now
possessed by Germany was given as
a pledge by Sweden to Mecklenburg
Schwerin June 26 1803 in exchange
for the sum of 1258000 thaler about
915000 on condition that Sweden
after the lapse of 100 years should be
entitled to take back the town on re
payment of the sum advanced togeth
er with 3 per cent interest per annum
The date for closing this bargain is
approaching The Swedish govern
ment will waive its right to redeem
the town
The man who admits his own humil
ity soon begins to boast of it And
then where is his humility
Odd English Land Tenure
At Broughton near Brigg in Lin
colnshire England some lands are
held by the following tenure Every
year on Palm Sunday a person from
Broughton enters the church porch at
Caister having a green silk purso con
taining two shillings and a penny tied
up at the end of a cart whip which
he cracks three times on the porch
and stays there until the second lesson
begins Then he enters the church and
cracks the whip again finally deposit
ing the purse and contents
American Centenarians
The United States census for 1900
finds 3536 person in the United States
who are 100 or more years of age The
value of these figures may be ques
tioned and perhaps may be best esti
mated by the fact that 728 per cent
of the whole number are negroes
many of whom have no reliable evi
dence as to the date of their birth
They are but 11 per cent of the total
population It seems improbable too
that this country should have over 3
500 when Germany with a population
of nearly 35000000 has only 778 and
England with 32000000 only 140 and
France with 40000000 has only 213
Fencing for Parish Shop Girls
The latest development of the
scheme for providing rational and
healthy exercise for Paris working
girls dressmakers milliners and oth
ers is a class for fencing After sing
ing dancing and declamation Mimi
Pinson is now being taught to handle
the foils and a few nights ago at an
exhibition at the Conservatorie Popu
late the young women showed that
they could thrust and parry in quite
remarkable fashion The one thing
that annoys them io that they arc com
pelled to hide their pretty faces he
hind unprepossessing masks but this
in the opinion of the fencing mistress
is a small drawback compared with
the splendid results of the vigorous
exercise upon girls who are imprisoned
all day in stuffy shops and ill-ventilated
workrooms
Those versed in Woodcraft can tell
a dogwood tree by its bark
Sometimes when a man gets rich
his wifes extravagance runs to health
resorts and operations instead of fine
clothes
Laundering the Babys Clothes
Many mothers are ignorant of the seri
ous injury that may result from washing
the clothing of an infant with strong
washing powders aijd impure soap For
this reason it should be laundered at
home under the mothers directions nnd
only Ivory soap used To throw the
little garments into the ordinary iash
shows great carelessness E R Parker
Many a spinster is sorry she learned
to say no
Car Magnate Cant Stand Cars
P A B Widener who owns and op
erates thousands of miles of street
railways in a score of American cities
never rides in a trolley car when he
can avoid it For some reason the
motion of an electric car nauseatets
him and produces the same disastrous
effect as a sea voyage on the average
trans Atlantic liner
Catholic Priests Become Elks
What is thought to have been the
first initiation of Catholic priests into
he order of Elks has taken place in
New York Rev William H J Reany
chaplain U S N and Rev James
Byrne who has a Staten island parish
have joined the secret society which is
favored especially by theatrical people
There has never been any opposition
on the part of the church to the laity
joining the Elks which is regarded
in the light of a fraternal society and
it is well known that thousands of
Catholic throughout the country are
members of the order but this is the
first instance as far as known where
priests have become members
Curious Productions of Nature
There are to be seen at present in
the Selkirk mountains in British Co
lumbia some curious natural produc
tions of the winter season in the form
of gigantic snow mushrooms nine feet
In diameter and consequently twenty
seven feet around They have quite
the appearance of the ordinary mush
room and are formed by the wind driv
ing the sticky or half melted snow
round in a circle until it assumes this
form The mushrooms do not often
attain a greater size than that men
tioned they melt or break under the
weight of the overhanging table and
the shape is spoilt
A LAST RESORT
Pure Food Should Be the First
When the human machine goes
wrong its ten to one that the trouble
began with the stomach and can
therefore be removed by the use of
proper food A lady well known in
Bristol Ontario County N Y tells
of the experience she had curing her
only child by the use of scientific
food My little daughter the only
child and for that reason doubly dear
inherited nervous dyspepsia We
tried all kinds of remedies and soft
foods At last when patience was
about exhausted and the childs con
dition had grown so bad the whole
family was aroused we tried Grape
Nute
A friend recommended the food as
one which her own delicate children
had grown strong upon so I purchas
ed a box as a last resort In a very
short time a marked change in both
health and disposition was seen
What made our case easy was that
she liked it at once and its crisp
nutty flavor has made It an immedi
ate favorite with the most fastidious
in our family
Its use seems to be thoroughly
established in western New York
where many friends use it regularly
I have noticed its fine effects upon
the intellects as well as the bodies
of those who use it We owe it
