ANNA R.BROWN
Mrs. J. M. 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.

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.

How the Gates Came Ajar.
'Twas whispered one morning in heaven
How the little child-angel May ,
In the shade of the great white portal ,
Sat sorrowing night and day.
How she said to the- stately warden
He of the key and bar
"O angel , sweet angel , I pray you ,
Set the beautiful gates ajar ,
Only a little , I pray you
Set the beautiful gates ajur !
"I can hear my mother weeping ;
She is lonely ; she cannot see
A glimmer of light in the darkness ,
Where the gates shut after me.
Oh , turn the key , sweet angel ,
The splendor will shine so far ! "
But the warden answered , "I dare not
Set the beautiful gates ajar"
Spoke lotf , and answered , "I dare not
Set the beautiful gates ajar ! "
Then rose up Mary , the blessed ,
Sweet Mary , mother of Christ ;
Her hand on the head of the angel
She laid , and the touch sufficed ;
Turned was the key in the portal ,
Fell , ringing , the golden bar ,
And lo ! in the little child's fingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar !
In the little child-angel's fingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar !
"And this key , for further using ,
To my blessed Son shall be given , "
Said Mary , mother of Jesus ,
Temlerest heart in heaven.
Now , never a sad-eyed mother
But may catch the glory afar ,
Since safe in the Lord Christ's bosem
Are the keys of the gates ajar ,
Close hid in the dear Christ's bosom
And the gates forever ajar !

Listen to the Mockintr Bird.
I'm dreaming now of Hallie ,
For the thought of her is one that
never dies ;
She's sleeping in the valley
And the mocking bird is singing where
she lies.
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.

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.
