LOST IN A CRATER.
Explorer Haa an Interested but Perll
oua Experience in Arizona.
Joseph Burkam. a Minnesota lumber
dealer, had, if a Western newspaper is
to be believed, an experience in an ex
tinct crater lu Arizona which ueirly
cost him his life, and has all but de
stroyed his health. Mr. Burkam Is an
enthusiastic explorer. One day he came
upon the crater of an extinct volcano,
and climbed about It for an hour with
out a mishap. Then he discovered a
bole about as large as a barrel, and
started to crawl in. Suddenly he
slipped, and slid a long distance, strik
ing his head against a ledge of lava.
When he came to be was In total dark
ness and absolute silence.
He had nine matches. These he
struck one after the other, holding each
one until it burnt his fingers. He
groped along the passage, thinking he
must soon see, daylight Suddei-ly it
came on blm that he was not finding
the entrance as soon as be ought to.
Then fear seized him. He sprang
forward like a crazy man up the pass
age, struck a projection and fell. When
he recovered he moved ou again, cut
ting his hands and bruising his head
and shouders against the lava.
Sometimes he lost consciousness for
hours. Then finding strength again,
be struggled on.
Once a luminous spot led him on over
Joyed. He struck with awful force
against a phosphorescent wall, which
had deceived him. By rubbing It, he
was able to mark better progress for
the next few rods.
Without warning he pitched headlong
Into a pit of thick fluid. It was sul
phurous and choked him. He struggled
out and lay down to rest.
When he looked around agnln be saw
several pairs of gleaming eyes. Shrill
squeaks told him that they belonged to
rats. The rats made a dash at hlw, but
were kept off, fortunately, by the sul
phur, which was too strong for tl.m.
Otherwise he might have died a horri
ble death.
He turned a corner In the passage,
followed by the rats. A growl sent
them scampering, and two larger eyes
glistened at him.
Then he saw a streak of daylight and
pushing towurd it, fell senseless Into
the open air.
When he recovered his senses and
straightened up, a wildcat was, sitting
nonr him with an army of rats behind
her. She was keeping them off. Intend
ing evidently to have the prey to her
Belf. Mr. Burknm and the wildcat stnred
at each other, the latter apparently
wondering whether the man was weak
enough to conquer. Summoning all his
strength, he threw up his hands and
rushed at the cat, which fled. Then
Mr. Burkam scrambled up the lava
bank to the surface of the earth once
more.
MOOSE AND BEAR.
Timid Animal Foueht Bravely in De
fense of Her Younir One.
The cow moose is regarded as a timid
animal, but like most timid creatures
she Is brave in the defense of her
young. A story is told by Mr. Jones In
his "Habits, Haunts and Anecdotes of
the Moose" illustrating this trait iu the
moose mother.
While paddling ou Chesuncook Lake
one day, our guide saw a cow moose
and her calf come down the bank and
enter the water. He watched them un
til they had waded some distance from
shore, when his attention wa. arrested
by another animal coming out of the
woods near them.
It was a black bear, and had not been
discovered by the moose. Bruin slipped
easily Into the water, and waded, to
ward the cow and calf. Presently he
got beyond his depth, his legs being
much shorter than even a calf moose's,
and he had therefore to swim. He swam
directly for the calf, and was rapidly
nearing It when the cow saw him.
The ungainly beast turned with re
markable quickness toward the bear,
whom she attacked with her forefeet.
Rising on her hind legs, she struck
with her sharp hoofs on the bear's
back. He tried to escape, but turn
which ever way he would the cow
struck him. There was a tremendous
splashing of the water, ana the moose
and her calf finally swam off, leaving
the bear bors de combat.
Watching bruin for a time, and not
ing that he made no effort to swim
away, the guide ventured to approach
him, and tound that his bnck had been
broken by the powerful blows of the
cow's forefeet. The guide merclfudy
I dispatched the bear, and to-d y shows
the skin when he tells the story.
Stunted Trees.
Hitherto the stunted trees and shrubs
of the Japanese have been the wonder
and envy of gardeners the world over.
But a German chemist now comes along
and does something which even the
Japanese could hardly be expected to
do. He has prepared a fluid that has
,- v-'ywer, when injected Into the tis-
,,.(islng the plant . As a result of this
Injection the plant aoes noruie, out
stops growing, maintaining its fresh,
green appearance, though Its vitality is
apparently suspended. Changes in tem
perature seem In nowise to affect the
foliage, for the plant blooms in the
open as well as In the most carefully
constructed hothouse. As might be ex
pected, the composition of the fluid is
shrouded in the greatest mystery.
Punishment In German Army.
Two German non-commissioned offi
cers have been sentenced to imprison

respectively, for maltreating a private
with such persistency that he commit
ted suicide to escape their persecution.

John Wanamaker pays over $1,000 a
day for advertising his Philadelphia
store. He uses a page a day lu Ave
daily newspapers in that city. They
are as follows: Press, $00,000; Ledger,
$00,000; Times, $"i0.000; North Ameri
can, $75,000; Evening Telegraph, $50,
000. The newspaper sages who wonder at
the magical spread of a craze such as
that for table tenuis, or plngpong, do
not seem to take account of the Im
mense advertising force that Is behind
It. With as much publicity behind any
novelty, or one-quarter as much, it
would be possible to spread it over the
habitable globe. Printers' Ink.
There Is a common saying that the
man who advertises never Is sold out
by the auctioneer. This scarcely is true,
but it Is true that the careful man of
business who advertises Judiciously
does not fail In business, has no receiv
ers appointed to close out bis affairs,
and has no occasion for tbe services of
the auctioneer. National Advertiser.
Twenty-five years ago there were
any number of business men to ,)e
found who said that advertising does
not pay. But these have disappeared
utterly from the larger marts of trade.
They either failed iu business or they
died of envy and grief, tbe former be
cause of tbe success of their rivals who
did advertise or the latter because
they realized that their own business
was going to tbe "demnitlon bow
wows," as Mr. Mantallnl would say.
The few that survive are restricted to
the small towns, and these are too lazy
to wait upon the few customers who
enter their place of business. In geome

which need no demonstration, for tbe

truths. It axiomatic that advertis
ing does payT This means practical,

A Judge's Wife.
Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1217 West 33rd St., Minneapolis,
Minn., as follows: ,
"I suffered for years with a pain in
the small of my back and right side.
It Interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and I never supposed
that I would be cured, as the doctor's
medicine did not seem to help me any.
"Fortunately a member of our Or
der advised me to try Peruna and gave
it such high praise that I decided to try
it. Although I started In with little
faith, I felt so much better in a week
that I felt encouraged.
"I took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that I am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more is the best thing I
could wish for, and thanks to Peruna
I enjoy that now." Minnie F. McAl
lister. The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many peo
ple to imitate Peruna. A great many
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tonics are to be found in many drug
stores. These remedies can be pro
cured by the druggist much cheaper
than Peruna. Permit can only be ob
tained at a uniform pri.e, and no drug
gist can get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that drugigsts are tempted
to substitute the cheap imitations of
Peruna for Peruna. It is done every
day without a doubt.
