A Scholar's Advice.
The German historian, Professor
Theodor Mommsen, was noted for the
facility with which he acquired lan
guages. . The tongues of modern Eu
rope as well as the classics were to him
not studies, but the familiar tools of
bis deadly work.
An American reporter who was in
terviewing him a few years ago asked
to have a certain reference put into
English, as he did not read German
well.
"Not read German well? And you a
Journalist ?" exclaimed the savant. "I
do not see how it is possible. Young
man, German is one of the four neces
sities for a student. The other three
are English, French and Italian. With
out them you can never know the ten
dency of modern thought If you have
them not, do not rest until you have
learned them all."
Mr. Albce's Opinion.
Alpine, Cal., June 6. Mr. T. M. Al
bee, our postmaster has expressed an
opinion based on his own experience
which will no doubt be of interest to
many. Mr. Albee is a man of few
words, but his well known truthfull
ness and uprightness of character adds
much weight to any statement he
makes. He says :
"The first box of Dodd's Kidney Pills
that I used convinced me of their good
qualities and I used altogether four
boxes with- the very best results. I can
heartily recommend this remedy."
This voluntary expression of opinion
will doubtless find an echo in many
homes in Califronia for Dodd's Kidney
Pills have been making some miracu
lous cures in this state.
From the evidence already published
it seems safe to conclude that this med
icine will be found to be a perfect - ure
for Rheumatism, Urinary trouble,
Backache and any and every form or
symptom of Kidney Complaint.

Miss De Style You must give me
time.
Mr. . Poorchap Certainly. I have
nothing but my heart to offer you, and I
do not expect you to decide at once.
"Then give me two or three weeks."
"Very well."
"And lu the meantime I wish you to
show jourself dreadfully in love with me,
and I'll let folks see that I am quite
interested in you."
"Urn what's the idea?"
"I want to see how Mr. Rlchfello

There Is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
lnourable. For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescribedlocal
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced It incurable.
Science has proTen catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease, and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manu
factured by F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the market. It
Is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case It fails to cure.

DIES AT HIS P08T.
Characterization of the Russian 8oldier
as Given by a Muscovite.
Sincere and unaffected love for his
monarch, profound religious piety In
timately united with the idea of the
Czar and of the fatherland, attach
ment to the fatherland, unlimited con
fidence in his chiefs, strong esprit de
corps, and a faculty of enduring gayly
and naturally the greatest privations
such are the most marked character
lstlcs of the Russian soldier, writes a
Russian general.
To these traits must be added re
markable bravery and a rare contempt
of death, combined with naive kind
heartedness and a gentle and Indul
gent disposition. The Russian soldier
is distinguished by a good humor that
never abandons him, even in the most
difficult moments, by his brotherly un
derstanding with his comrades, and by
his gay and contented way of facing
all the decrees of fate.
Obedience is so deeply rooted in the
mind of the Russian soldier that dur
ing my thirty yers' experience of the
army I do not remember to have wit
nessed one single case of Insubordina
tion, either in times of peace or in
times of war.
The Russian soldier dies at his post
I have seen him in winter on sentry
duty on the heights of Shipka die
standing, surrounded with snow and
transformed literally Into a statue of
ice; I have seen him die on the march,
striding over the sandy desert and
yielding up his last breath with his
last step; I have seen him die of his
wounds on the battlefield or In the
hospital, at a distance of 3,000 miles
from his native village and in those
supreme moments I have always found
the Russian soldier sublime.
Although a child of the plain, where
his eye rarely descries the most mod
est hill, we see him boldly scale the
topmost summits of the Caucasus and
climb the rocks and glaciers of .the
Thian-Shan, fighting all the time. He
feels at home everywhere, whether in
the steppes of the fatherland. In the
tundras of Siberia, or the mountains
and deserts of Central Asia. He has
an exceptional faculty of putting him
self at his ease wherever he may be,
even in places where others would die
of hunger and thirst
I have seen the Russian soldier at
home in time of .peace, or during
truces in the enemy's country, rocking
the peasant's "child in the village,
where he was stationed: I have seen
him bivouacking in the desert, with
his tongue parched and burning, re
ceive his rations of a quarter litre of
salt water; I have seen him in heat and
in cold, in hunger and in thirst, In
peace and in war and I have always
found in him the same desire to oblige,
the same abnegation of self for the
safety and good of others.
These special characteristics of the
Russian soldier his self-denial, his
simple and natural self-sacrifice give
him peculiar powers as a warrior.

EACH COLOR TO ITSELF.
now the Cherokee Nation. Get Over
the Race Problem. '
The race problem in the Cherokee
nation is solved to the general satis
faction of the three races concerned
and the intermediary mixed bloods. In
the location of homes the Cherokee
fullbloods and negroes are mostly in
settlements. The intermarried whites
largely are in towns and territory con
tiguous to each other. The Cherokee
speaking citizens much prefer to asso
ciate together. .
In the nation there are thirty schools
attended by fullblood Cherokee chil
dren and seventeen by negro children.
The negro blood schools are not so by
legal requirement but as a corollary
of their preference to live near each
other. The Cherokee and negro do not
intermarry or socially mingle. Tw
seminaries and an orphan asylum are
attended by fullbloods and mixed
bloods only, the colored high school by
negroes only.
In the incorporated school districts
whites and Indians attend the same
schools, and race prejudice and undue
feeling on either side are being lost in
fellowship and friendship cultivated in
the class room and on the playground.
Both sides are better satisfied in the
combined schools than they were when
they were kept separate. Fullbloods
seem -to mingle as freely with white
renters and their families of good char
acted as they do with mixed bloods.
Of the 38,500 citizens of the Chero
kee nation the best statistical informa
tion gives about 8,500 fullbloods, 3,200
intermarried whites, 22,800 mixed
bloods and 4,000 freedmen. Kansas

Catarrh of the Stomach Is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something
to Produce Artificial Diges
tion Is Generally Taken. ,
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatln and a Host
of Other Digestive Remedies
Has "Been Iavoated.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
seat of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.
Ex TJ. S. Senator M. C. Butler, from
South Carolina, was senator from that
state for two terms. In a recent letter
to The Peruna Medicine Co., from
Washington, D. C, says:
I can recommend Peruna for dys
pepsia and stomach trouble. I have
been using your medicine for a short
period and I feel very much relieved.
It is indeed a wonderful medicine be
sides a good tonic."--M. C. Butler
The only rational way to cure dys
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Pe
runa cures catarrh. Peruna does not
produce artificial digestion. It cures
catarrh and leaves the stomach to per
form digestion in a natural way. This
is vastly better and safer than resorting
to artificial methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys
pepsia than all other remediea com
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. . If catarrh is locat
ed in the head, Peruna cures it. If
catarrh has fastened itself in the throat
or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it.
When catarrh becomes settled in the
stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in
this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
