Says Peruna, the
Gives Strength
Hon. W. N. Roach, United States Senator From North Dakota,
lion. W. N. Roach, United States Senator from North Dakota, personally en
dorses Peruna, the great catarrh cure and tonio. In a recent letter to the Pe
runa Medicine Company, at Columbus, Ohio, written from Washington, D. C,
Senator Roach Rays:
"Persuaded by a friend I have used Peruna as a tonic, and lam glad
to testify that it has greatly helped me in strength, vigor and appetite.
I have been advised by friends that it is remarkably efficacious as a cure
for the almost universal complaint of catarrh"
Senator Roach's home address is Larimore, North Dakota.
Peruna is uot a guess, nor an experiment; it is an absolute, scientific cer
tainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna has no substitutes no
rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. Let no one persuade you that some other
remedy will do nearly as well. There is no other systemic remedy for catarrh
but Peruna. Address the Peruna Medicine Company, Columbus, Ohio, for a
free book on catarrh, written by Dr, Hartman.

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
Califoknia Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste aud acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as thev are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from 6enna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

SHE ENJOYED PERFORMANCE.
Betort of Tonne Girl at the Theater to
a Rude Man's Apology.
It was at one of the leading theaters
of Chicago, says the Chronicle, that the
Incident happened. It was not an uu
usual incident, by any means, but the
dialogue proved of exceptional Interest
to all who were fortunate enough to
hear it In fact, much of the Interest
was transferred for a while from the
stage to the two-part show which was
,iu on in rront of the footlights. It
ras a case of suave uoliteneK9 n,i
ourtesy In the nerson of i,.vuir
roung girl opposed to rudeness and a
lardv nnnlnffv en, ki,. i
ungallant man. This is the manner of
the performance uot cast In the
programme.
He was, as has been said, large, red
(of face, wheezy of breath by reason of
(an expanse of waistcoat and shortness
of neck. He occupied a seat In the
.center of the row in the orchestra
jchalrs. She was a gentle, sweet-faced
girl, calm and sedate, dressed in a
gauzy gown heavily crusted with jet
spangles. She also wore a fur and
tulle hat which, with her opera glass
case and her wrap, she held In her lap
in compliance with the I'lotke law.
She had a seat three removes nearer
the aisle than the one occupied by the
wheezy man.
She was on the Improvised stage first
That is, she reached her seat before he
ivuo tuiuiuiiuuj bvuieu to eu-
Joy the performance. He was late and
she rose to let him pass. He wanted to
see a man after the first net and she
was compelled to rise again to let him
out This byplay occurred a third time
when he had seen the man. Then the
second act was reeled off and the big
man found it necessary to go out again.
Fourth rise for the lady. Then she made
the fifth ascension as he struggled In
when the third act the most exciting
of the play was well under way.
Some faint glimmering of propriety
penetrated his Intellect. He paused
Just before completing bis clumsy
evolution.
"I beg your pardon," he muttered.
Then he plunged on and smashed the
hat, already badly battered out of all
original semblance to Itself, tore off a
few more spangles and twisted his
frame through to where h's siat was.
"I hope you will not mention It" said
the girl sweetly as she resumed her
seat and arranged things. "Please
don't mention It. I enjoy It so much."
She delivered tne words In a cultivat
ed voice, to be sure, but she elevated
that same voice so that her words were
heard some half a dozen rows back of
her. The fat man gasped, fell Into his
seat and mopped, his face. He sat in
that seat until the end of the play,
gazing fixedly at a small window in
the set as If fascinated. The red ex
panded well back on his neck as he lis
tened to the twitter of laughter and
comment of others on the byplay. A
round of applause following the girl's
speech only tended to make him more
miserable.
INVENTIONS RUN IN CURRENTS.
Several Brains Generally Kvolve the
Same Idea Simultaneously.
"A man In my line of business," said
a local attorney who makes a specialty
of patents, "has an exceptional oppor
tunity for finding out that great minds
run In the same direction. It Is a re
markable fact that fully seven-eighths
of the Important mechanical appliances
of the past fifty years have been the
subject of litigation on the ground of
priority of Invention. In almost every
Instance it was clearly shown that dif
ferent people, sometimes as many as
five or six, were at work on the same
Idea at the same time, each unknown
to the other. A somewhat plausible
explanation has been advanced for
these remarkable coincidences," con
tinned the lawyer. "It Is, In brief, that
certain universal needs suggest similar
trains of thought to active minds and
In searching for the best remedy they
fall insensibly Into the same channel.
This is only another way of saying that
necessity is the mother of Invention,
but It is hard to apply the theory to
scores of devices that were certainly
not the subject of any specified demand.
Take the telephone, for instance.
"I HOPE YOU WON'T MENTION IT," SAID THE GlItL, SWEETLY.
"At the time Trof. Bell was perfect
ing his Instrument at least three other
inventors were developing the same
thing and he beat them to the patent
otnee by a mere scratch. Everybody
remembers the long and bitter contest
that ensued, and I believe, personally,
that each of the parties to It was in
entire good faith, although It Is almost
Impossible to convince an Inventor,
under such circumstances, that there
has lH;en no fraud. Every man believes
firmly that the other fellows have sto
len his idea. The arc light, the Incan
descent light the X-ray apparatus, the
typewriter and the gas engine are a
few of the big things 1 call to mind at
random In which there was the same
coincidence of thought
"Two of the In test and most remark
able instances In point are wireless
telegraphy and liquid air. The funda
mental principles of both were old and
had been experimented with and dis
carded as Impractical. Then suddenly,
after the lapse of years, two groups of
Inventors begun the task of develop
ment In wireless telegraph Marconi
had three rivals one an American, but
he was fortunate enough to get out his
patents ahead of the others. Who built
the first liquid air apparatus Is at pres
ent In dispute, and two companies, each
headed by a claimant are now in full
blast In New York. If ever you have
an extra good Idea you would do well
to secure the protection of a patent
without delay. It is 50 to 1 that some
other chap Is pegging nway at exactly
the same thing." New Orleans Tinies
Uemocrat WHITTIER'S PREDICAMENT.
"The Qnaker Poet" Blinded Uimself
to a Military Salute.
Whlttier held "Gall Hamilton"
(Abigail Dodge) In the highest esteem,
aud the letters that passed between
them are really most delightful. These
are now published for the first time hi
the Ladies' Home Journal. Here Is
one of the series that Is truly charac
teristic of Whlttier. It was written In
18(10:
"I must tell thee something droll.
Last week the Amoskcag Veterans
from New Hampshire, and a Massachu
setts company, with military bands,
cpme and padded before our house, and
Governor Smyth, of New Hampshire,
and one or two officers called on me.
When they left and I stepped out to see
them civilly off, the men lu epaulettes
got up a grand military saiute, with
music and three cheers to wind up with!
Was ever a Quaker lu such a predica
ment? 1 did, I fear, somewhat com
promise myself by lifting, almost In
voluntarily, any hand to my hat but 1
resisted the temptation and only pulled
my hat lower down over my brows by
way of testimony."
Tho Bex of Ship.
The word "ship" Is hinscullne In
French, Italian, Spanish and Portu
guese, and possesses no sex In Teu
tonic and Scandinavian. Perhaps It
would not be an error to trace the cus
tom of feminizing ships back to the
Greeks, who called them by feminine
names, probably out of deference to
Athene, goddess of the sen. But the
English-speaking saJ'.or assigns no such
reasons. The ship to hi in h always a
lady, even though she be a man-of
war. She possesses a waist, collars,
stays, laces, bonnets, ties, ribbons,
chains, watches and dozens of othei
distinctly feminine attributes. Col

MONKS AND MONKEYS.
Ancient Metropoliit of Amber Given
Over to Friars anil Simians.
Mrs. Clara Ersklue Clement describes
In part a visit to the ancient city of
Amber, In India, which Is Inhabited
only by a few priests and thousands of
monkeys. Elephants from the stables
of the mahamjah of Jeypore conveyed
her party. The hill on which the old
city stands Is surrounded by other high
hills, crowned with towers and ram
parts and covered with trees. The great
castle fortress stands out boldly. Tho
old zenana, or woman's annitmeuts an
extensive block of buildings, surround
ed by a court is the only place which
is inhabited. This is a well populated
aud lively quarter, since a tribe of lan
guor or hoonoomaun monkeys have
taken possession and dwell here In com
fort aud freedom. The Hindoos relig
iously refrain from hurting or killing
any animal, aud the monkeys, having
no fear, are monarchs of all they
choose to take.
The hoonoomaun, or languor, Is the
sacred monkey, and the largest found
In India. Its height Is from two and a
half to four feet; Its body Is singularly
slender and supple: its face Is black and
smooth, except for long white whiskers;
the hair on the body Is giay on the
back and white under the stomach; it
tail is long and bare, with a single tuft
of hair on the end. The Hindoos have
a legend which explnlns Its very blnek
face. It says that ages ago Hoonoo
maun, the king of the monkeys, went to
assist Kama In the conquest of Ceylon.
The demon king of the Island had car
ried off Llta, the wife of Kama, and ha
was determined to rescue her. As they
came near to the island lloonoomnun
easily leaped over the straits, so skillful
a Jumper was he, and, finding Llta, he
was comforting her with the news that
her husband was appronchlng, when
Havana, the demon king, appeared and
made Hoonoomaun prisoner. After set
ting tire to the monkey's long tall he
gave him his freedom, that he might
return to llama. Hoonoomaun succeed
ed lu blowing out the (he at the end of
his tail, but in so doing he blackened
his face aud singed his hair in a most
unbecoming fashion. The loss of hi
beauty so saddened the poor beast that
llama made all the monkeys of his
kind kalamoukh, or black-faced, which
they remain to this day. St. Nicholas.
GEN. DEL PILAR.

An Inimitable Feat.
The sailors of three inen-o'-wnr
American, French and British while
In the same harbor were competing
with each other for the best display of
seamanship. A Yankee went to the top
of the mainmast and stood there with
an arm extended. A Frenchman then
went aloft and extended loth arms.
An Irishman on board the -British
ship thought if lie could stand there
with a leg and on arm extended he
would be declared the most daring
sailor. . Nimbly he mounted to the
highest point and attempted to do so,
but at the last moment lost bis bal
ance and fell through the rigging to
ward the deck.
The various ropes against which he
came in contact broke his full, and
when near the deck ho succeeded In
gasping n rope. To thlH he hung for
i couple of seconds, and then dropped
Ightly on the deck, landing safely on
his feet.
Folding his arms triumphantly, as If
It were all In the program, he glanced
toward the rival ships and Joyously ex
claimed: "There, you frog-eating and plg-stlck-Ing
foreigners, beat that If you cau!"
