Cold Affected Head and Throat-
Attack was Severe.
Chas. W. Bowman, 1st Lieut, and
Adjt. 4th M. S. M. Cav, Vols., writes
from Lanham, Md., as follows:
"Though somewhat averse to pat-
ent medicines, and still more averse
to becoming a professional affidavit
man, it seems only a plain duty in
the present instance to add my ex-
perience to the columns already writ-
ten concerning the curative powers
of Peruna.
"I have been particularly benefited
by Its use for colds in the head and
throat. I have been able to fully cure
myself of a most severe attack in
forty-eight hours by its use according
to directions. I use it as a preventive
whenever threatened with an attack.
"Members of my family also use
it for like ailments. We are recom-
mending it to our friends."
—Chas. W. Bowman.

Novelist's Eafly Earnings.
A pocket series of Mr. Thomas
Hardy's stories Is to be published
Boon, and lately a complete edition of
his books in 20 beautiful volumes was
Issued in America with success. When
J^r. Hardy took the manuscript of
"Under the Greenwood Tree" to the
late Mr. Tinsley that enterprising pub-
lisher offered the novelist the sum of
$125 down for the book. Mr. Hardy
accepted the sum, although he owned
that ho was "a bit disappointed," add-
ing that nevertheless he "meant to
keep on." Next came his book "A Pair
of Blue Eyes," for which Mr. Tinsley
gave the novelist $500, say tap: "There
la no money in the book, but I can
see that Hardy is going to get a grip
some day."
THE FIRST TWINGE
Of Rheumatism Calls for Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills If You Would Be
Easily Cured.
Mr. Frank Little, ^ well known citi-
zen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich., waa
cured of a severe case of rheumatism
by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In speak-
ing about It recently, he said: "My
body was1 run down and in no condi-
tion to withstand disease and about
five years ago I began to feel rheu-
matic pains in my arms and across
my 'back. My arms and legs grew
numb and the rheumatism seemed H
settle in every joint so that I couM
hardly move, while my arms we.j
useless at times. I was unable to
sleep or rest well and my heart pain-
ed me so terribly I oould hardly stand
it My stomach became sour and
bloated after eating and this grew
so bad that I had inflammation oi
the stomach. I was extremely nerv-
ous and could not bear the least
noise or excitement. One whole side
of my body became paralyzed.
"As I said before, I had been suff-
ering about five years and seemed to
be able to get no relief from my
doctors, when a friend here In Port
land told me how Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills had cured him of neuralgia in
the face, even after the pain had
drawn it to one side. I decided to
try the pills and began to see some
improvement soon after using them.
This encouraged me to keep on until
I was entirely cured. I have never
had a return of the rheumatism or oi
the paralysis.
The pills are for sale by all drug
gists or sent, postpaid, on receipt oi
price, 50 cents per box, six boxes
$2.50, by tbe Dr. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. T.
EUGENIE AND NAPOLEON.
How She Won the Heart of That
World-Monarch.
At Compiegno, one afternoon, when
the flower of the court was Idling
round Jits vingt-et-un table, Mile de
Montijo, seated at the emperor's right,
consulted him from, time to time as to
her play.
She foun'l two picture cards in her
hand, counting 20 out of 21 best
points.
"Stand on that," advised Napoleon,
"it is very high."
"No," answered Mile de Montijo, "I
want all or nothing."
The court ladles were in full slan-
der of her when Napoleon had made
up his miud to marriage. They had
extraordinary manners, those first la-
dles of the Second Empire court. One
evening at Compiegne, when Eugenie
was going in to dinner on the arm of
Colonel de Toulongeon, a slight con-
fusion permitted him to whisk her
ahead of Mine. Fortou!, wife of the
minister.
"How!" she exclaimed audibly to
her cavalier, "(to you permit that
creature to push past me!"
The next morning Mile, de Montijo,
with tears in lier eyes, stood sadly on
the terrace, apart from the others. Na-
poleon, who had sought her, asked her
the cause of her sorrow. "I must leave
him her long list of slights and in-
sults. The emperor listened to the
beautiful girl, tranquil and smiling.
Then, when she had finished, he tore
a few green twigs frofn a bush, deftly
twisted them into a crown and said
loud, that all might hear, as he placed
it upon her head:
"Wear this one . . . meanwhile."
It was his announcement of their
marriage.—Sterling Hellig, In Metro-
politan Magazine. •
Whisky was Not for Her.
A woman who apparently had been
averse to entering a saloon ap-
proached the bartender in a fashion-
able North Side place the other even-
ing and in low tones called for a quart
of whisky. Five or six men were
standing near the end of the bar, says
the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"Now, I don't want you to think
this is for me," said the woman in
way of explanation, at the same time
glancing furtively at the men near the
end of the bar. "My husband, who Is
ill sent me for the liquor and I did not
want to come because I thought you
might think it was for me, and I
naturally would feel embarrasseu.
"What do you drink, wood alcohol?"
returned the bartender In a matter-of-
fact way. The men near the end of
the bar laughed aloud.
"I didn't come in here to be insult-
ed," returned the woman savagely, at
the same time manifesting her con-
tempt for the loungers with a vicious
stare.
"And I would like to inform you
that I do not propose to have my
goodB insulted, either," Bald the bar-
tender in a determined tone of voice.
After parleying several minutes the
bartender handed the woman the bot-
tle of whisky and she hurried from
the place, 6lamming tbe door violently.
"They come in here that way almost
every day," said the bartender in ex-
plaining the woman's embarrassment.
"Many men are too lazy to go after
liquor themselves and they send their
wives. That woman was no doubt
telling the truth when she said she did
not want the whisky for herself. I was
Just kidding her."
Odd Things In Animals.
Unlike most animals, horses have
no eyebrovflS and hares are minus eye-
lids. Consequently the eyes of the
latter can not be shut and a thin
membraneous substance covers them
when asleep. The eye of the owl is
also peculiar, seeing that it is im-
movably fixed in its socket and can
not stir in any direction. To compen-
sate for this seeming disadvantage
it can turn its head almost completely
around without moving its body.
If you were to v"cp a frog's mouth
open many minutes it would soon die,
as, owing to its peculiar construction,
it can breathe only with the mouth
closed. On the other hand, fishes are
compelled to keep opening and closing
their mouths in order to give their
respiration organs full play.
A curious fact about the eel is that
it has less life in its head than In its
tall, consequently, when killing an eel
the fisherman smashes its tall; it also
has two hearts. Snakes usually have
their teeth in the he»d, but one varie-
ty in Africa, whose principal food is
eggs, is provided with a substitute
for them in its stomach.
Wrong.
This story is told of a college pro-
pessor who was noted for his concen-
tration of mind.
The professor was returning home
one night from a scientific meeting,
still pondering over the subject. He
had reached his room In safety, when
he heard a noise which semed to oome
from under the bed.
"Is some one there?" he asked.
"No, professor," answered the in-
truder, who knew the professor's pe-
culiarities.
"That's strange. I was positive
some one was under my bed," com-
mented the learned man.—Judge.
The Woman's Way.
"Many a married man who might
make a fortune is handicapped be-
cause his wife demands too much
of his attention."
"That's right. Just as soon as for-
tune begins to flirt with him his wife
gets iealous
Old Adat^T^rfoborated
Corroboration of the eld saying that
"the way to a man's leart la through
his stomach" is found in an item
which announces that a western mil
iionalre la going to marry his cook.

American Idealism.
Since my first urrlval in America I
have held that the real spirit is ideal-
istic and that the average individual
American is controlled by Idealistic
impulses. Those who may contradict
tne can not have sounded the depths
of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, or studied the life and read
the speeches ol Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Lincoln's
great character nothing can be more
striking than the way In which he
combined reality and the loftiest Ideal,
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. Tills faculty seemed to give
him a far-sighted, almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight of the
keenest statesmen and thinkers of his
age—Baron Speck von Sternburg, in
Forum.

Its Dangerous.
To neglect a cold the results are too
often very serious. Bronchitis, Pleu-
risy, Pneumonia and Consumption are
frequently the consequences. Upon
the appearance of a cold,, sore throat
or chest, use Simmons' Cough Syrup.
It soothes the irritation, loosens the
phlegm and promptly cures you.
And when a man bumps up against
hard luck he always blames soma
other fellow for shoving him.
