Few are entirely free from it.
It may develop so slowly as to cause
little if any disturbance during the whole
period of childhood.
It may then produce irregularity of the
stomach and bowels, dyspepsia, catarrh,
and marked tendency to consumption
before manifesting itself in much cutaneous

The Peruna Almanac.
The druggists have already been
supplied with Peruna almanacs. There
is sure to be a great demand for these
almanacs on account of the articles
on astrology which they contain. The
subject of astrology Is a very attrac
tive one to most people. The articles
on astrology in the Peruna almanac
have been furnished by a very com
petent, astrologist and the mental char
acteristics of each sign Is given, con
stituting almost a complete horo
scope. A list of lucky and unlucky
days for each month is given. There
will be a great rush for these books.
Ask your druggist for one early be
fore they are all gone.

RED-HANDED MURDERER SHOT
WITHOUT CEREMONY.
Swift Retribution Qvertook a Bad
Mexican in the Wild West Harmless-
Looking Ked-Headed Man Acted
Quickly When Right Time Came.
'I don't l.ke to see one man kill an
other In cold blood and then walk off
without an attempt being made on the
part of witnesses to the crime to catch
the killer," remarked Peter Gallagher,
while the subject of homicides was un
der discusslou at Hutte recently.
"1 once knew a niau, 'Mexican Lou'
lie was called, whose ambitiou was to
kill some one. lie was an expert driv
er of oxen and followed his occupation
between old Fort Pierre, on the Mis
souri river, and Deadwood, S. IX. be
fore the advent of the railroad into that
country.
"Lou was a wicked looking Mexican,
and was just as wicked as ltis appear
ance indicated, lie took special delight
in cracking his oxen with the twenty-flve-foot
whip he carried when there
was no need of it and committing oth
er offenses in which the very essence
of cruelty was discernible.
"But Lou finally reached the end of
his string. One time he went to a place
called Woodville, a station on the lit:-
tie narrow-gauge railroad built by the
Ilouiestake Mining Company for the
purpose of securing wood for use in Its
mills, and took command of the town.
He seemed to have .1 grudge against
every one and gave it out cold that he
Intended to start a graveyard for the
new town.
"There was a little store at Wood
ville where tiiuiiernieu bought their
supplies. About two weeks after Lou
arrived In the place he decided that the
time for locating the cemetery site was
ripe. Shoving a large knife up the
right sleeve of his coat, he entered the
store aud endeavored to pick a quarrel
with a woodchopper who was an entire
stranger to him aud with whom he had
never before had a word.
"The woodchopper was not a fighter
anil avoided the Mexican as much ns
possible. The keeper of the store no
ticed his endeavor to keep out of trou
ble with the Mexican, and advised him
to watch the latter and not allow him
to get too close, as he had a knife and
was bent on murder.
"There were several persons iu the
store at the time, among them a little
inn 11 with reddish hair. The woodchop
per was purchasing goods, but when
told to look out for the Mexicau's knife
he grabbed a pick handle with which
to defend himself in case of attack.
"The greaser saw the move, and kept
his distance for the time being, but In
a few minutes lie saw an opening ami
rushed at the woodchopper with Ills
knife drawn.
"With the look of a demon on his
face he plunged the blade of the weap
on Into the woodeliopper's body, then
withdrew It anil ran out of the store.
The woodchopper fell dead.
"After getting outside, the Mexican
started to run across an open space,
his Intention being to reach the timber
at the opposite side,, but he never
reached it.
"Hehintl the counter of the store was
a Springfield rifle, loaded and ready
for business. The little red-haired man
had seen the fatal blow struck and
without waiting for further ceremony
he promptly seized the gun, walked to
the door, dropped to a stooping posi
tioii, tend; deliberate aim at the neclng
greaser, and tire. I.
"The bullet struck the greaser square
Iv tn the center of the back and pass
ed through his body, killing him in
stantly. "The red-haired man was at the In
quest, which was held in Lead, n few
miles away." said (Sallagher, In conclu
sion, according to the Hutte (Mont. I
liiter-Mouutnin, "but when the Jury
returned a verdict to the effect that the
Mexican had come to his death at his
hands he coolly walked away without
molestation from the officers present.

PASSING OF LEGERDEMAIN.
Hleiuht of Hand Performer Turn to
Mechanical Trick.
One of a group of three men who
were seated at the Palmer House cafe
last Friday night was amusing the oth
er two with some clever sleight of
hand tricks performed with a sliver
dollar that appeared nnd disappeared in
u quite mysterious manner.
"Where did you learn that clever--nessV"
asked one of the spectators.
"In Philadelphia, forty years ago,"
ho answered, "during the days of Sig
ner lllltx. who was my teacher. I was
n very young man then nnd lived next
door to Hilts. He took n fancy to me
nnd taught me many sleight of hand
tricks that I have not forgotten.
"Blitz was one of the men who helped
to bring juggling to Its perfection, nnd
paved the wny for the great prestidigi
tators who followed him.
"Now the profession Is In Its deca
dence. It has passed Its r.enith and Its
performances fall to excite to wonder.
It still survives as nn adjunct to other
performances, particularly for the
amusement of children, and that is '
about nil.
"Blitzgnve a performance, entirely
in legerdemain, six nights in the week
and two matinees. - That cannot be
done in Philadelphia now, or at any
place else, and draw paying houses.
You remember the wonderful perform
ances of Houdin, the Frenchman, and
how he startled the world with his
wonders and dumfounded his specta
tors with his astounding second sight.
Then came Anderson, 'the Wizard of
the North,' who drew full houses all
over the country. Herrmann 'the
Great,' one of the most clever of them
nil in simple sleight of bund tricks, was
with us only a few years ago, and his
successor is now performing. Then
we yet have Kellur, who has carried
mechanical tricks and deception by the
use of mirrors to perfection.
"But the fact is that these clever men
fail to excite more than a very little
interest, because their tricks and their
ways and their methods are all to well
known. Their performances have been
exploited to the utmost detail, nnd our
children now know how tricks that
were once considered absolutely as
tounding are performed, and many of
them are clever enough to repeat them
In our parlors.
"We know all about the deception of
mirrors, the possibilities of electricity
and lights, what mechanics can accom
plish nnd the cleverness of the human
mind In performing npparent wonders.
All of tills means that the profession of
tiiO prestidigitator la pabeiliig aiid Unit
he is only surviving as nn adjunct to
other nttractions." Chicngo Record-Herald.
YOUNG RULERS OF THE WORLD.
President Roosevelt Not the Youngest
Man at Head of a Great Nation.
President Uoosevelt is our youngest
President, rfnd there is much tnlk of his
being the embodiment of the young
blood which is to put America above
all other nations. But President Uoose
velt is not the only young ruler in the
world. In fact, tie is older than at least
nineteen rulers of the grent nations of
to-day. William of Germany is three
months younger; Nicholas of Russia is
only 3!) years of age; and the Emperor
of China is ten years younger still.
Possibly he might not be counted as a
ruler by some people, but still his name
is recognized, no matter who pulls the
strings in the Chinese court. Victor
Emmanuel of Italy Is 128 and Williel
nilna of Holland only 21. Alphonso of
Spain is probably the youngest ruler of
all. ns he Is not yet 1(5. Charles I. of
Portugal is under 40, and Ferdinand of
Hulgnriu Is not yet 41. Abbas II.,
Khedive of Egypt, Is not more than 27;
Alexander of Servia, but 2o; Thank-Tai,
King of Sinm, 22, and Prince George of
Greece, Governor of Crete. 32. Among
the rulers of the little German States,
Ernest Louis of Hesse is 33; Frederic of
Wn block 3(1 and Charles Edward of
Saxe-Cobiirg, lint 17. Several rulers In
India are under 30, and iu the western
hemisphere. It. Inglesals, President of
Costa Uica, is less than 40.
These young men of to-day must be
older for their years thnn were their
predecessors of years ago, or else he
world is easier to rule thnn then. Cer
tainly the government of the world rep
resented by these "young" men, Is
wiser, broader and more enlightened
than ever before. Minneapolis Journal.

"I do not like to see a man wear a

looking horrible, nnd when I remon

all full, or that he wns pressed for

Kentucky's Interest in Road-Making.
Kentucky was one of the early west

in road-making. It was the policy of
the state to co-operate with its minor

of roads, and many years ago a corps
of engineers set to work to lay off
roads in all parts of the blue grass
