Gentlemen"-'Lastsummer I caught a cold which seemed to set tle In my kidneys and affected them badly. I tried a couple of kid ney remedies largely advertised , but they did not help me any. One of my foremen told me the great help he had received In using 'iPeruna in a similar case , and I at once procured some. "It was indeed a blessing to me , as I am on my feet a large part of the dayt and trouble such as I had affected me seriously , but four foottles of Peruna cured me entirely and I would not be without it for three months' salary.

"Have you any eviaence apainsfc tbe prisoner ? " "None , " answered the detective. "Then why did you arrest him ? " "It's a great idea of my own. When the real criminal sees an innocent - 4 cent man in trouble , maybe he'JJ come forward and confess. " It has been said , with great truth that the grandest phases of the bu- m.in character are exhibited in sur mounting difficulties. Failure seems but to discipline the strong ; only the weak are overwhelmed by it. Diffi culties draw forth the best energies of a man ; they reveal to him his true strength , and train him to the exercises of his noblest powers. Difficulties try his patience , his en ergy , and his working faculties. They test the strength of his pur pose , and the force of his will. Let no one say that because he knows a little , and can do a little , he ought , therefore , to rest where he is , and , dismayed at difficulties , give up with , "it can't be done it is of no use' trying. " Would you lie in the gut ter if thrown down there ? No ! get' ' up , act , work , cultivate your nature , determine to advance ; and if you are resolute , you must eventually succeed. There may be difficulties' ' to encounterbut the dawn will surely - ' ly come to him who has patience toi await it , and who has energy of pur-1 pose to giapple wiht those difficul ties , and subdue them. One half of1 tne difficulties will be found imagi nary , when they are fairly fronted. , In the dark we stumble , and are. co .fused . by the tirst glimpses of ! light we are apt to despair and think the light will never come ; but at last we liud a footing , atjd the daiknt'SS flies away , as we hastily emerge into the upper air. llupd and diligence are the life and soul oi success. The temper in which the words "It can't be done ! " are ut tered , have IHI kinship with these. "It can't be clone ! " dues nothing ; it is a giving up in despair. But " 1U can be dune ! " "Ib must be done ! " "It snail be done ! " always achieves1 we nders , and in the end seldoius : fails. Professional criminals are usually destitute of wisdom teeth.

A remedy that will absolutely cure Rheumatism has been discovered by Mr. George Hiland of this place. Mr. Ililnnd is satisfied that the remedy ho has used is a sure cure , for it cured him of a very serious. case of Acute Rheumatism when he was so bad that he could not move. This is what ho says : "I was troubled with what is called Acute Rheumatism in 1900. I was in | such shape that I could not move with out help. I was treated by a physi cian , who helped me some , but I was still in great pain when my wife saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised as a. cure for Rheumatism. She insisted on ] my trying them , and I felt better after taking the first box. I continued , and now I am well and able to work all the rime. I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills to be just what they are claimed to he , a perfect cure for Rheumatism.

A. man who "was hurrying home from bis office in New York to his home In Brooklyn found his entrance to tbe ferry-slip barred by another man , who was arguing with the ticket seller , says the New York Press. Hewaited a lit tle -while in the hope that the dispute would be settled and he might catch his boat , but neither of the two parties to the argumentwould yield. "I tell you the dime is Canadian , and you've no right to pass it off on me. 1 must take a car on the other side , and they won't take Canadian money on the cars. " "Can't help that , " replied the ticket seller. "The money is good. We take It here every day , and don't object to it , and the banks -will take it , too. Why don't you go up-street and change it ? " he added , sarcastically. "Go yourself , " said the other man. The dispute was getting tiresome , so 'the man who had been -waiting his turn and listening accosted the protesting traveler. "Let me see the dime , " he said. lie took the coin , and promptly gave the man ten cents in United States money in place of it. The argumentative tivo passenger passed on. "Did you offer this dime to that fel low ? " asked the second man of the ticket seller. "Yes , I did. What of it ? " was the brusque reply. 'Nothing , only I want two more fer ry tickets , " was the quiet answer , and the Canadian dime slid back to the discomfited official. An Ominous Outlook. "What is going on here ? " asked the washing machine * agent , who was of an observant turn of mind. "A sort of strained , half suppressed expectancy * seems permeating the entire village. What is It that is about to happen ? " " \Vell , " cautiously replied the land lord of tbe PiMiitjtown tuvtrn , "I ain't' supposed to lie inakiif any talk about it , but a side-whiskeie.l , portly chap that posed as a kind of philanthropist Avas here last winter , when fuel wis so scarce and costly , you recollect , and kindly and very cheap sold the people a lot of crushed stone coated with tar ; and it's reported that he's corain' back here to-morrow with a circus , either to deliberately skin us again or b'cuz he's forgotetn where he is on tbe map. Of course I ain't got anything to say , but I sorter judge that that portly par ty is on tbe eve of a great crisis , right now ; but then , if you make your bed 1 s'pose you've got to lie in it , even if you do carelessly happen to spread it on an ant-hill. " The Coming1 Trouble. "Hello , Laura , is that you ? " "Yes. " "This is George. Say , I can't get anything to eat downtown here to-day. The hotels and restaurants are all closed on account of the strike. Have a good dinner ready for me when I come home. " "I can't do It , George. The girl says all the grocery stores and meat mar kets out here are closed on account of the strike. " "Well , cook up a pudding or some thing of that kind. " "Can't do that , either. No milk to day. The milkmen are all on a strike. " "Well , Great Scott ! Can't you send one of the children In with a luncheon of bread and molasses ? " "No. Johnny says there are no trains or street cars running. But , say , may- je 1 can " "Well , go on. Maybe you can what ? " But there was no response. Everybody at the telephone office had gone on a strike. Tramp Changed His Mind. Friends of a resident of the northern section of the city are enjoying a story which he tells at his own expense. The gentleman in question is a six-footer ind Is proportionately broad and solid. He lives on Blant avenue , and as he was passing along the haLhraY the other day a brisk ring was given the front door bell. He turned to the doot , opened it and found himself con fronted by a bit of a man , a sort of pocket edition , much the worse for wear and evidently belonging to the genus tramp. "Well , what do you want ? " the man of. the house asked. "Ah ah please , sir , " the man on the doorstep stammered , looking up at the man towering above him , "I ah -yias going to ask for some of your old ' clothes , but ( another glance at the big } man in the doorway ) I've changed tny'-mlnd. " Shelley L ilced Bread. The poet Shelley was very simple In his tastes and found his chief pleas ure in long , solitary rambles. Bread bec'Vne his chief sustenance when his reg .ien attained to that austerity which , afterward distinguished it He could.have lived on bread alone with out frepining. "Do you know , " he said one day tea a ! rieud , with much surprise , "that Mr. Gr * does not like bread ? Did you ever knotv > a person who disliked bread ? " His.-trientl explained to him that Mr. G. probably bad no objection to bread in moderate quantity at a proper time , and'with the usual adjuncts , and was > i 1 * . ' nwi. Ing to devour several pounds r f dry bread at a meal. Mielley had no such ob'ectlon ; his ockcts were gent rally well stored with ead.

Survivors of the Rebellion Relate Many Aranslns and Startling ; Inci dents of Marches , Camp Life , Forag ing Experiences and Battle Scenes. "You never could tell , " said the Ken tucky Major , "what would happen in the army. Early in 1SG1 , the Kentuck- lans who wanted to enlist hi the Union army drifted In three directions. Some went to Rousseau at Camp Joe Holt in Indiana , others with Woodruff and Guthrle to Camp Clay in Ohio , and others again to Camp Dlclc Robinson or to Nelson in eastern Kentucky. "Of all the officers who left Louis ville In April and May , 1881 , none were more popular than Rousseau and Woodruff , and brilliant careers seemed opening to both. Rousseau went for ward without a break to a major gen eralship. Woodruff went at the head of his regiment , the Second Kentucky , to West Virginia , and at the very be ginning of the campaign was captured by the enemy at Scary Creek , and the regiment he had organized went through the war under the leadership of another. "Neither Woodruff nor any officer with him when he rode Into the ene my's lines was at fault , but all were held prisoners while officers on duty were winning reputations. Woodruff never returned to the regiment , but saw service as a general officer In commands far removed from the men who followed him from Louisville into the Second Kentucky Regiment at Camp Clay. "Meantime , another Second Ken tucky regiment had been organized UH- der Colonel Speed S. Fry in eastern Kentucky , and another First Kentucky regiment under Bramlette. The First and Second Kentucky regiments organ ized at Camp Clay were deep in the West Virginia campaign before the question of title was settled , and then Fry's regiment became the Fourth , and Bramlette's the Third. Rousseau's regiment numbered the Third Ken tucky regiment finally became the Fifth , and Whittaker's the Sixth , the colonels of all of them winning pro motion In the army or In public life. "Lieutenant Colonel Neff and Cap tains Hurd and Austin , of the Second Kentucky , were captured with Wood ruff , and In time all were sent to Libby prison ; John R. Hurd was captain of Company F , and Ms capture advanced to command immediately Lieutenant Jacob H. Smith , who became a briga dier general in the regular army and made a reputation as a fighter In the Philippines. Hurd , however , soon re turned to his regiment as major , through what he called a happy cir cumstance. "While in Llbby , he noticed that the Confederate or city surgeons who came to the officers' quarters passed the guards on a green ribbon tied on the left arm. Many of these surgeons were not In uniform , and one day when one of them dropped his green ribbon badge Hurd picked It up , tied it on Ms own arm , and , putting on an authoritative air , marched past the guards and out in the streets of Richmond mend , making good Ms escape and re turning to his regiment with the pres tige of daring adventure , "The Fourth Kentucky started out In independent fashion. It was the only regiment In the service In which the companies were arranged In alpha betical order from right to left , Com pany A coming on the right and Com pany K on the left , whereas , under the rule , the flanking companies were A and B. This departure seemed to me at the time pure contrariness , but Gen eral Thomas approved the arrange ment and it stood to the end. It wa the Fourth Kentucky Infantry , mount ed , which In June , 1804 , rescued their frlendB of the Fourth Kentucky Cav alry at Lafayette , Ga. "Colonel Watkins , of the Fourth Cav alry , was at Lafayette with 450 men of the Fourth , Sixth and Seventh Ken < tucky Cavalry , when he was attacke-J by General Pillow with a force of two or three thousand men. The fight was a town fight from the first and re markable because of the means em ployed In defense. As soon as the fir ing began the Kentuckians took pos session of the court house and jail and barricaded the doors and windows with sacks of corn. From behind these corn barricades they beat Pillow's men off until the Fourth Kentucky Infan try , well mounted , sent Pillow's men scurrying away in what their disgust ed general called a panic. This Is the only case , I believe , hi which Kentuck ians fought behind corn breastworks. " "There were a good many Kentuck ians , " said the captain , "in the First Kentucky Infantry , but it was mainly made up of young Buckeyes eager to get to the front , and on its return for muster out , in 1864" , the regiment was welcomed home , not at Louisville or Lexington , but at Cincinnati. In fact , the boys , all through the service , were In the habit of calling themselves the First Cincinnati Orphans. From first to last the two Camp Clay regiments were brigaded together , just as were the Fourth , Fifth , Sixth and Seventh regiments of Kentucky cavalry. But on election days the First Kentucky Infantry voted for Ohio officers , and when discharged the men scattered to homes In Ohio. "After a long service In Virginia , Tennessee , Mississippi and Georgia , the regiment came at the very lost to lervlce under a Kentuckian. General Hobson. in Kentucky. While awaiting at Newport barracks , the ra -J > * . regiment was called out1 * gau on Ills last raid In Kei men had been given a BK absence , and few were h I when Hobson's order came.- onel Inserted a notice In tht. natl papers outilulng briefly tb. tlon and ordering his men to report V duty next morning. That little adver tisement was like a bugle call , and the men came pouring Into camp eager for one last scrap with the Keutucklan who had caused them so much trouble. "General William Nelson organized the Third , Fourth and Seventh regi ments of Kentucky Infantry , but when he came to command a division of BuelTs army not one of them served In his command. Instead the First and Second Kentucky regiment * were brought from West Virginia and served to the lost In the division or ganized by Nelson , fighting under him at Shlloh and under John M. Palmer ( a. Kentuckian by birth ) at Stone River' and Chickamauga. " Chicago Inter Ocean. A Soldier at 11. There are only 77 officers on the ac tive list of the army below the grado' ' , of general who served In the Civil War. All of these with one exception will soon be retired. The exception ! Is that of Col. John L. Clem , of the > quartermaster's department , whose aga limit will not be reached until 1915. This extended time is due to the fact that "Little Johnny Clem , the drum mer boy of Chickamauga , " as he was familiarly known , was probably the youngest person who ever bore arms in battle. Col. Clem was also known as "John- * ny Shlloh , " from the fact that In thq battle of Shiloh be rode to the firing } line on a caisson by the side of a vetj eran artillerjnian , and then performed , an act of daring In such a brave and cool manner that it gave him a name iu history. He drummed the charge at Shiloh when he was only 11 years old , and with his short musket he klll ed the Confederate colonel who de manded his surrender at Chickamau ga. He Is a popular officer , not only with his fellows of the army , but la social circles as well , being as genial a , man as he is chivalrous a soldier. Col. Clem was born In Ohio on Aug. 13 , 1S51 , and in May , 1SG1 , before he was 10 years old , he offered his serv ices to the Third Ohio Regiment as drummer , but the mustering officer de clined to enlist him because of his size and his youth. Later he offered his services to the Twenty-second Michi gan , and , though enlistment was refused - ; fused , he was permitted to accompany. the regiment to the field and to beat tha "long roll" In front of Shlloh In April , 1862. His soldierly manner and conduct - * duct in that engagement so won tha confidence and admiration of the offl-i cers of the regiment that In May , 1863.- he was permitted to enlist as a drum mer and was then known as "Johnnyj Shlloh. " But It' was on Sept 28 , 1863 at the battle of Chickamauga , that ha displayed especial bravery. He ha& just passed his 12th birthday annlver-l sary and had laid aside his drnm for & musket , the barrel of which had been. cut down for his use ; and after acting- as a "marker" for a time he took his place in the ranks. As the day closed and the army retired to Chattanooga his brigade was ordered by the enemy to surrender , and "Little Johnny" was himself covered by the sword of au Confederate colonel. His regiment was then fired Into , and , falling oa If the Juvenile soldier lay close until dar when he went to Chattanooga and joined his command. But as he fell to the ground he fired at the Confed erate officer and killed Mm , and this , demoralized the Confederate command ) In such a way that his own associate * , escaped capture. For his bravery young made a sergeant by Gen. and detailed to the headquarters ofl the Department of the Cumberland. H * also received a silver medal from thj hands of Miss Kate Chase , daughter * of Chief Justice Chase. He vro.t afters ward captured by the Confederates andj held prisoner for 63 days , and aftecj Ms release he was promoted to orderlyi sergeant by Gen. Thomas. He wa discharged from the service In 8ep-i tember , 1864 , when he returned to hi * old home and attended school , beingj graduated from the Newark High School in 1870. President Grant , wh ® ( had kept watch of "Little Johnny" af ter tne war ended , appointed Mm aj second lieutenant In the regular army ! in 1871. Three years later he went to the artillery school at Fortress Mon roe for a course of instruction in mili tary science , and a year later passed a most successful examination. Did Not Fill the Bill. A young bachelor , who was beset by , a sewing machine agent , told the latter - , ter that Ms machine would not an swer the purpose.
