Mr. Hal. P. Denton, Chief Depart
ment Publicity and Promotion of Na
tional Export Exposition, writes.
Philadelphia, Dec. 20, 1899.
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
Gvntleinen : "Toward the latter
fart of August I found, myself in a very
inch run-down condition. I suffered
rtiralurly from catarrh of the stom
ach, apuravatod no doubt by the respon
ibi lities and woriment incident to
the exploitation of a great international
xiKwition. What I ate distressed me
and I would lie awake at night 'thresh
mig eer,' it I may use that expression,
tii affairs of the previous day.
"My family physician said I had
aervous prostration and recommended
aea voyage. I gradually grew worse.
A kind friend whom 1 had known In
Ohio recommended Peruna. Though
skeptical, I finally yielded to his ad
vice. After using one bottle I was
anuch Improved and with the fifth
bottle came complete recovery. I am
fai perfect health today and owe every
thing to Peruna."
Very truly yours,

A Story or the Priirfi
The Century m:iga.ino is about to
print a serial which will have an espe
cial intorest to people who are at home
the prairies. It is called "The
Biography of a Prairie Girl," and the
author is Eleanor Gates, a young
woman who spent her childhood in
Dakota and who thus writes from the
fosest personal observation.
The time of Miss Gates' story is
aflnat 25 years ago; it is put in the
faraa of a personal . narrative, of the
life ef a little girl, and, there is hardly
epliae or event ol prairie life which
it aot) touched upon in these pages
trt olizard, breaking coiU, horse
Healing by Indians, school days on the
fftKit'teii, righting gophers and badgers,
cattle rawing and other typical phases
ol hardship or prosperity.
Si is not novel, but the same char
acters appear and reappear In the story
with a reality which impresses the
reader with confidence in the truth of
the narrative.
"The liiography of a Prairie Girl"
will begin in the August number of the.
Century and it will be illustrated.

Hair Splits
"I have used Ayer'a Hair Vigor
for thirty years. It is elegant for
a hair dressing and for keeping the
hair from splitting at the ends."

Hair-splitting splits
friendships. If the hair
splitting is done on your
own head, it loses friends
for you, for every hair of
your head is a friend.
Aycr's Hair Vigor in

splitting. If the splitting
has begun, it will stop it.

AN HISTORIC STRUCTURE.
Benedict Arnold's New Haven Homo
Hay Be Torn lo wu. : - i
In a dismantled condition, the prey
of relic hunters and the ravages of
time, there stands In Water street. In
New Haven, Conn., a houpe erected by
the most Infamous man who ever called
America his home and which was later
occupied by one of the most renowned
of Columbia's sons. It is a residence
erected by Benedict Arnold In the City
of Elms In 1771. Water street In colonial
days was the select residential street
of New Haven. Arnold, then a dashing
young fellow, conducted a drug store.
He prospered In business, married well
an i branched out Into the East Indian
trade; In which be made a fortune. He
was one of the most' prominent men In
New Haven at the outbreak of the
revolution and the mansion on Water
street sheltered many a distinguished
guest Then came his brllliaut career
In the army and his subsequent Igno
minious betrayal "of his country.
Time and the encroachments of busi
ness Interests have brought the fine old
colonial mansion down to the level now
of Its less aristocratic neighbors, but
traces are still to be seen of the mag
nificence of which It once was proud.
The house is now part of a lumber
ynrd, and the parlors and spacious
chambers where Arnold and his bride
lived and received the elite of the town
ore now occupied with piles of scant
ling, and the colonial staircases are
now changed to lumber elevators. In
a short time what is left of the old
HOME OF 1)1 Ni:iK'T ARNOLD.
house will be torn down and the space
It occupied turned Into a woodyard. ..
While no attempt has been made by
New Haven people to save the old Ar
nold house, ns It can be believed that
the reputation of Its first occupant hr
no great source of public gratification,
many of he finest pieces of Its original
architecture have been preserved. An
tiquarians and unpoetlcal Junk dealers
have banded together to raze the old
place, and whnt remains to-day Is the
merest shell of the old structure. The
inuntelpleces, carved English onk rail
ings and the furniture have all been
scattered among museums throughout
New Euglund. Hut there still remnlns
the. original exterior, and the window
blinds, doorways, cornices and much of
the original decorations are still left.
Not only Benedict Arnold, the traitor,
but Noah Webster, the famous lexico
grapher, lived In this historic old man
sion, and the rooms that once echoed
with the lnughter and gnyety ot the
days before the revolution also har
bored lu later years the silent scholur,
as the pages of his great dictionary
grew under his hands. Webster came
to New Haven in 1798. Up to that time
the. Arnold mansion had remained un
occupied so great was the aversion of
the people toward anything In any way
connected with the traitor's life. Web
ster remained there until 1812, when he
removed to Anihertv Mass.

He thinks he lives, but he's a dead
one. No person is really alive whose
liver is dead. During the winter
most people spend nearly all their time
in warm, stuffy houses or offices or
workshops. Many don't get as much
exercise as they ought, and everybody
knows that people gain weignt in
winter. As a rule it is not sound
weight, but means a lot of flabby fat
and useless, rotting matter staying in
the body when it ought to have been
driven out. But the liver was over
burdened, deadened stopped -work. There
you are, with a dead liver, and right' now is
the time for resurrection. Wake up the dead!
