I therefore heartily endorse Peruna, aa an honest remedy worthy the good things which are gaid of it."--Ida L. Gregory. Nervous prostration is BO frequently associated with systemic catarrh that •ome doctore do not distinguish between the two. In systemic catarrh the dia­ base has pervaded the whole system and fhere is a constant loss of vital fluids from the mucous membranes. A gTeat many people are doctoring for BCrvous prostration who would be im­ mediately cured by a course of Peruna. £feruna makes clean, healthy mucous membranes. By this preservation of the Maliee of a Billposter Spoiled a Can* dldste's Chances of Election. One of the best political workers in England is Sir William H. Holland, one of the new knights, who, although a busy Manchester manufacturer--A cotton king, in fact--finds time to look after the Interests \)f a big min­ ing constituency like Rotherham In the West Riding. Sir William is A well-groomed man with a florid face that is seldom guilty of a smile. Ia spite of this somewhat doleful aspect, which seems to be mada to match a lugubrious tone of volee, he invariably has in hand a fund of anecdotes calcu­ lated to put audiences In the best of humor. One of his sftcftiee la worth repeating. • personal friend at his, fighting a parliamentary contest in the south of England, had the disadvantage of being a "carpet-bagger," whereas the conservative candidate enjoyed con­ siderable local prestige. Toward the close of the contest the liberal AGENT warned him that the matter was one of some importance, whereupon he replied: "Very well, then you can tell the voters that If they return me I will come and live here."' But he had not reckoned up all the circumstances. The agent printed Mils setting forth that "if MR. is elected HE will live here " The bills got. into the HANDS of an opposition bill-poster and the RESULT WM that they were found placarded oa every pig sty and barn la the division. That candidate, need- leas T» say, was not sleeted. fluids the weakening drain of their discharge is prevented. The medical profession is just begin­ ning to awaken to the fact that chronic catarrh,especially systemic catarrh,will soon produce a condition so nearly re­ sembling nervous prostration that it is very difficult to tell one from the other. Peruna cures these cases without fail. 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 ad­ vice gratia Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Q.

A story is told of how Admiral (then captain) Evans was cured of his de­ sire for an automobile. He was rid­ ing in one of these machines with a friend in New York. After the spin through Central park had become most invigorating the captain became talka­ tive with the chauffeur. "You are the man I want to talk to," he remarked. "I have been think­ ing for some time of buying one of these flying machines* for myself and I want some expert advice as to what brand of wings to purchase. "I've driven every kind of machine that there Is," returned the affable engineer, "steam, gasoline, electric, and all, and I guess 1 know 'em all from A to Izzard." "Well, now, my man " returned the captain, warming up to the gentle­ manly steerer, " if you were going to buy a machine for your own self what kind would yon Belect?" "Well, sir," replied cabby, "if I was to buy one.T'd save up my money and hoy a hoss." The admirallB still without an auto. FOUR OF A KIND. BHI SL Pare That Failed to Suit Fas­ tidious Diner. A man "Down Bast" sojourned tor s few days at a reasonably cheap board­ ing house ia the city. He became tired of the monotony of the table fare and complained to a nowly made acquaintance. His friend told him of another boarding HOUS ̂ which he thought would Just suit, ana stated that they served four kinds of meat daily, and every day. The Down-easter made the change, and after a few days' trial of the new place changed again. The friend who had recommended the house inquired in astonishment why he had left It. "Didn't like the fare," was the answer. "Didn't they give you four kinds of meat a day, as I told you they would?" "Yes." "Well, then, what was the matter? Wasn't that enough?" "Enough, I guess; but I didn't like the kinds." "What were they?" "Ram, lamb, sheep meat and mut ton."--New York Times. NOT A C0N80LINQ THOUGHT. 8ympathy May Have Been Well Meant, but Was Not Effective. The late Dr. Herman C. Riggs of Rochester, pastor of St. Peter's, did not enjoy a popular reputation as humorist, but he had some dignified fun in his composition and regarded with very little patience those whose piety found expression in deprecating the slnfullness of the times, says the New York Times. One day a lugu­ brious elder, temperamentally a pessi­ mist and usually a bore, said to him: "Doctor, the tendencies of the times are Indeed deplorable. The longer I live the worse the world seems to become." Dr. Riggs replied: "My dear sir, the fact Is undoubtedly as you have observed, but perhaps you exagger­ ate the relation which it would seem to establish between cause and effect. However, I would not let that worry me too much, since you may be able to derive some consolation from the thought that perhaps the world wll he better when you are out ef LH'" The longer the elder pondered fliis reply the less satisfaction was he able to derive from it. Had Crazy Spells. West Pembroke, Me., Sept. S3.-- The thirteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. A. L. Smith suffered with a peculiar affliction which her mother describes as follows: "It is two years now since she was first taken with crazy spells. "They kept on cominc at intervals and I could get nothing to do her any good. "The doctors gave me no encourage­ ment. They all said they could not help her. "The crfczy spell would last about nine days, then she wduld be well about nine days, but would eat very little and was very yellow. Even the whites of her eyes were yellow. "I heard that Dodd's Kidney Pills were a great remedy for young girls and decided to try them. "After taking one box she was com pletely restored and she has not had one bad spell sijice. Of course we con­ tinue! to use the pills and she used altogether five boxes lfisj fall. "In March I thought I saw symp­ toms of the spells again and I got six boxes of which she has taken four, and is In splendid health. 'Her case was certainly a remark able one and we are very thankful to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good they have done my daughter." Wit of the Shah. When the late shah of Persia visit­ ed London some years ago the fol­ lowing Incident occurred: "At an ex hibition in London," wrote the late shah, "the picture of a donkey was shown and I asked the price of it. The director of the exhibition, a fat, white- bearded man, who gave Information about the prices, told me it was £100. I remarked: 'The value of a live don­ key is £6. How Is it then that this, which is but the picture of an ass, is to be paid so dearly for?' The di­ rector said: 'Because it is not a source of expense, as It eats neither straw nor barley,' I replied: True, it is not a source of outlay, but neither will It carry a load or give one a ride.' We laughed heartily." Love Tried and True. "There goes a couple that have been friends since childhood, and grow fonder and fonder of each other." "Are they engaged?" "Engaged! They're married and divorced!" IHSIST ON GETTING XT. Some rrocere say they don't keep De­ fiance Starch. Thia Is because they have a stock on hand of other brands contain­ ing only 12 os. in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because De­ fiance contains 16 os. tor the ^ame money.

The parsen (to stranger)--This ie the flrsft time I have had the pleasure of seekig yeu at our church. Where is y9ur regular place of worship, may Coffee-Chewing Fiends. Men who work in coffee-roasting plants often contract the habit of chewing coffee. This habit grows stronger and stronger as time passes, until finally its victim must be chewing all the time. „ His face takes on, then, a yellowish, unhealthy color, and his heart beats too fast His breathing is Irregular and his appetite is poor. In temper he is irascible and so tremendous is his appetite for tobacco that he will even smoke in bed. Yet he does not, as a matter of fact, chew a great deal of coffee; probably two pounds a week is the greatest record he ever makes; but he is coffee's slave as much some men are the slaves of opium or of alcohol. Some of the proprietors of coffee-roasting plants, aware of the deleterious effect of the habit, have signs on their walls, forbidding coffee- cliewing on pain of dismissal. Many of the men, however, disregard these signs. Java coffee is the sort that THEY prefer to chew. Tit For Tat Several years ago a Boston news paper reporter published a supposed interview with Mr. Twain. When Mark Twain read it he was much amused, for the reporter had char­ acterized him cleverly, expressing the peculiar qualities thfct distinguished the humorist. Mr. Twain answered through the same paper, writing a supposed interview, relating the IM pression the young reporter had made upon him, and at the same time good- naturedly caricatured that enterpris­ ing young man. A Crow as an Electrician. A crow has been getting the Calcut­ ta Telephone company Into trouble.

The venerable Bishop Williams of Connecticut, for many years Presi­ ding Bishop of the Episcopal church In America, and who lived all hU life a bachelor, was talking one day with a young man from the West about a possible tax a Western state was try­ ing to impose on bachelors, the tax to be increased a certain per cent for every ten years of bachelorhood. 'Why, bishop," said the young man, "at your age you would have to pay about $100 a year." "Well," said the bishop quietly, and In his old-time vernacular: 'IT'S wuth it" • Feminine Baseball Fan.
