Brown , Duu- negan Springs , Mo. , writes : "My little daughter three years old was troubled with a very bad cough which re mained after an attack of catarrhal fever. She has taken one bottle of Peruna through which she has ob tained a complete cure. She is now as well and happy as a little girl can be. When our friends say how well' she looks I tell them Peruna did it. " In a later letter she says : "Our little daughter con tinues to have good health. " Mrs. Schafer , 436 Bope Ave. , St. Louis , Mo. , writes : "In the early part of last year I wrote to you for advice for my daughter Alice , four years of age. She has been a puny , sickly , ailing child since her birth. She had convulsions and catarrhal fevers. I was al\vays doctoring until we commenced to use Peruna. She grew strong and well. Peruna is a. won derful tonic ; the best medicine I have ever used. "I was in a very wretched condition when J commenced to take Peruna. I had catarrh all through my whole body , but thank God , your medicine set me all right. I would not have any other medicine. ' 'Peruna cured my baby boy of a very bad ppell of cold and fever. He is a big healthy boy fifteen months old. I have given him Peruna off and on since he was born. I think that is why he is so well. I cannot praise Peruna enough. We have not had a doctor since we began to use Peruna all praise to it.Airs. . Schafer. lr/iS/i1 @s ! e-ru-na Kept In the House for Five Years.

Through the ad vice of a friend I tried Perunu. and am riacl to say it cured me to pertection. I began to tell a friend about L'eruna the other day and 1 had uo sooner com menced than he told me his folks have kept Peruiia in the house for the last five years.

' Croup , capillary bronchitis , and ar ticular rheumatism are the special banes of childhood. These all alike result from catching cold. One child catches cold and scares its mother into hysterics by having croup in the dead of night. Another child catches cold , develops a stubborn cough that will not yield to ordinary remedies. The parents are filled with forebodings. Still another child catches cold and de velops that most fatal malady of child hood , capillary bronchitis. The doctor is called , pronounces the case pneumo nia , and if the child is lucky enough to live it has developed weak lungs from which it may never recover. And yet another child catches cold The very Height ov buraan intelli gence iz to kno jusb what things are aktully worth.

Listen to the mocking bird , The mocking bird now singing o'er her grave ; Listen to the mocking bird . Still singing where the weeping wil lows wave. When the charms of spring awaken And the mocking bird is singing on the f bough , I feel like one forsaken. For my Hallie is no longer with me now. Listen to the mocking bird , etc. Ah. well I yet remember When we gathered in the cotton , side by side , 'Twas in the mild September , And the mocking bird was singing far and wide. Listen to the mocking bird , The mocking bird now singing o'er her grave ; Listen to the mocking bird Still singing where the weeping wil lows wave. Septimus Winner. THAT COWBOY BREAKFAST. Man Who Cooked the Steak for the Preii lent Tells of It. The incident , or whatever you choose to call that first feature of President Roosevelt's Colorado experience which will make his great western tour mem orable the unique entertainment that furnished Mr. Roosevelt the right kind of Western welcome and gave Hugo , Col. , a permanent place on the map was the cowboy breakfast served to the national chief early on the morn ing of May 4 , says the Denver Post. The cook who cooked the breakfast and who glories in this exalted bit of cookery , is now in Denver. This is "Jack" Keppel , the whole-souled cowman | man who deserted his herds and rode many long miles in order to be on hand and officiate at Hugo. "I was 'very proud , " said quiet Mr. Keppel and , by the way , nobody can describe the great event and the causes leading up to it , as he can "quite proud when the Lincoln County Cattle Growers' Association selected me to take charge of the cooking of the cow boy breakfast which we had deter mined to serve to President Roosevelt. "The Holt Live Stock Company's 'chuck' ' wagon was driven down to Hu go for my use and it was well sup plied , as it was ready to start next day on its regular round-up route. "As my assistant for the great en terprise I had that veteran of the range , John Heyman , as good a camp man as ever drew breath , so long as | [ he was awake , and , thus fixed up , I ; felt fully equal to the great undertak ing ahead of me. . "On Friday preceding the eventful Monday , May 4 , when the President was to come through , I went down to Hugo from my ranch at Arroyo , to get everything shipshape and in order. On that evening we swung the pot rack and cleared a space about the rear end of the chuck wagon and on Sat urday we unpacked the provisions and laid in butter and such things as had been overlooked. "On Sunday , just to get my hand in and have things in working order , I cooked a big dinner for 150 natives and a couple of dozen 'rawhides' from Denver. I hadn't done any cooking for five years , and I was a little shaky about the job I had ahead of me , but the way those people ate and ate and came back for more convinced me that John and I could do the big stunt as well as anybody. "On Sunday night about 8:30 I closed off the feeding and left nothing on but the beans , which cooked over i roaring fire' till 12 o'clock. While the iieans were cooking a number of old- rimers gathered around the camp fire and swapped lies and sung songs and kept me company. It was a fine night , and they were all sorry when 12 o'clock came and I took off the beans and drove them all away. And I hated to do it , too , but it was late enough , and I had Important work ahead of me for the morning. "I rolled out my bedding right alongside the camp fire and turned in.- to my blankets a little before 1 o'clock. I could hear the others celebrating up town and I wished I could be with them , but I knew that would never def fr me. "A few hours later I was wooling John Heyman to get him awake aad beating around with a elub to find daylight in the dark. The first thing I did after waking up my fire was to put the beans back on. * John and I then made twelve gallons ef coffee ia three big pots and got the JPrcneh fried potatoes ready. The next thing was to make the biscuits and put them in the Dutch ovens ready to bake. I made eight do7.cn of these and patted them out round and smooth. It's quite a job to make goc-d biscuits , and you bet I was very particular with these. I wanted to have 'em just ready when the President came , so I went over to the depot and found out from the tel egraph operator the exact moment when he would arrive. "When we sa'/v the smoke of the pilot train we heaped the fire on the tops of the Dutch ovens. This train brought the Governor and Congress man Brooks. They were too busy getting ready to receive the PresJ ident to want to eat anything , and the biscuits were not done , anyhow. When the President's train hove in sight we got pretty excited around that camp fire , 1 can tell you. I had picked out a big T-bone steak , the finest one I ever saw , for the Presi dent. "As the train was slowing up I nod ded to John Heyman , my assistant , to drop the big steak onto , the hot surface of the oven , which was on the rack , and heated up just right. By this time the biscuits were done to a turn and everything was ready. I had heard discouraging reports to the ef fect that President Roosevelt would not be allowed time enough at Hugo for him to get off and eat , but I knew if I could once get him in range of that beefsteak where he could get a whiff of that steak he would have to stay and eat. "Well , I have cooked many a steak , but I was certainly more proud of that one than of any I ever turned out. It was a regular 'beaut , ' and when Teddy cut into it and munched the first mouthful and I f aw the tickled expression of his face I was so proud well , I just had to swing my hat and holler. " Could Not Be Deceived. An Englishman traveling in Russia furnishes the following incidents tea a London paper an incident which he personally witnessed and which he says "shows better than volumes ol description the customs and social con ditions of Russian peasants" : "At a railway station the train is on the point of starting. As usual In Russia , the bell rings three times before de parture , to warn the passengers to take their seats. At the first ring the ehiel conductor , seeing on the platform a group of peasants standing humbly and cautiously together , says very poi - i lltely to them : "Gentlemen , the firs ! 1 signal is given , please take youi places. " | One of the peasants , turning to his j comrades , says : "Dimitri , Ivan , ' Steven , do you hear ? The master tells j us lo cuter the train. " "Oh , you stu- I pid , " says another. "Are you a gentleman - ' tleman ? You heard him say 'gentle men. ' Hq invited the gentry. " Thert is a second ring of the bell. The con ductor calls , hurriedly and angrily : "Please , gentlemen , take your seats you hear the second signal. " The same peasant says to the oth ers : "It is for us. AVe must take oui seats ; the train will start. " "You ass ! " iys his companion. "Do you tlrinlj you are called a gentleman ? Were you ever a gentleman ? " The third ring of the bell is heard , Th < conductor , losing his temper and hust ling the peasants forward , cries : "Idiots ! Pigs ! Beasts ! Do you heai or not ? Be off and take your seats ! ' "That is for us , " say the peasants "Dimitvi , Ivan , hurry up. We imisJ take our seats. ' ' An Accomplished Monarch. The King of Portugal is , personally , one of the most notable of living mon- archs. His accomplishments with & gun are sufficiently well known , and also as a revolver shot he is hard to beat ; but his tastes are very broad , foi he is an accomplished landscape paint er , whose work has before now won a medal at the Paris Exhibition and , lik < his kinsman , the Prince of Monaco , he is deeply interested in scientific pur suits. Of all monarchs he is probably the most accessible for. though he has an Immense number of duties as tht first servant of his country , he does not take the trappings of royalty very se riously. , The Old Habit.
