THE SCRAPPY LITTLE JAPPY.
When we first observed the yellow little
fellow from Jspan,
With bis satins, (lowers and silks we
grew acquainted.
W e Imagined him ae standing in a gar
den with a fan.
Nigh a dainty paper maneion, nicely
painted.
But he offered no suggestion of a war
ship or a gun.
Or a deed of martial valor, fiercely
scrappy;
Or the military neatness shown beneath
the rising sun
In the plucky little, lucky little Jappy.
A MICHIGAN MAYOR SAYS
“I Know
Pe-ru-na Is a Fine Tonic for a
Worn Out System.”
When first upon the Yaiu he destroyed
the poor Chinese,
He displayed for modern war a passion
ready.
He took to shells, torpedo boats and war
ships with the ease
Of a spunky little duckliug in an eddy.
Later, when we stormed Pekin, the Jap
was first upon the grounds,
With a dash that made the god of war
feel happy—
You were sure a revelation to the mili
tary nations,
Oh, you fiery little, wiry little Jappy.
Lately, when he bearded Russia with de
mands to right a wrong.
W e remarked. "Be careful, kid— we
would advise, sir.
That the bear is fierce and shaggy, that
the Czar is cruel and strong—
Better look for something nearer to
your size, sir.”
But the youngster, like a demon, clutch
ed the windpipe of the hear,
Till his mighty pawa were paralyzed
and frnppe.
Now her battleships lie battered, and her
banners torn and tattered,
By the spunky little, chunky little
Jappy.

Mrs. Abram D. Dqvis, of 431» Ash

husband, who waa a prominent mer
chant, died ten days ago, and she, in
accordance with the customs of the
Jewish religion, retired to a mourning
chamber with her sister-in-law, Mrs.
H. Frledeuberg, of Bradford. Pa.
The period of religious mouruing ex
pired at 1) o'clock yesterday morning,
and just at that hour a bird as large
as a sparrow and as black as uigbt
flew out of the gas grate, which was
burning, and alighted at Mrs. Davis's
feet. Both women tried to scare the
bird away by waving their hands at
it, but It stayed three minutes, hop
ped about ou a table and finally van
ished through the front door.
Mrs. Davis, who had been grief
stricken because of the death of her
husband, to whom she bad been mar
ried thirty years, became cheerful at
once. She tella her friends that It bore
a message direct from God telling her
that she should be comforted nud that
all would be well. An examination of
the chimney showed that the bird must
have come down the hot chimney
through a hole about an Inch squnre.
Small blackbirds are foreign to these
parts, and cynical persons say it must
have been a sparrow with a coat of
soot. But Mrs. Davis's story has crea

where she lives. One of the persons
who saw the bird is a Mr. Bornstein,
of 121 West One Hundred and Four

Weak Nerves, Poor Diges
tion, Impure Blood,
Depressed Spirits.
The sun has just crossed the equator
on its yearly trip north. The teal
equator is shifted toward the north
nearly eighteen
miles every
day.
W ith the return of the sun comes the
bodily ills peculiar to spring.
With
one person the nerves are weak; anoth
er person, digestion poor; with others
the blood is out of order ; and still oth
ers have depressed spirits and tired
feeling.
A ll these things are especially true
of those who have been suffering with
J a r rin g
catarrh in any form or la grippe. A
course of Peruna is sure to corioct all
these conditions. It is an ideal spring
medicine. Peruna does not irritate—
it invigorates— it
strengthens.
It
equalizes the circulation ot the blood,
tranquilizes the nervous system and
regulates the bodily functions.
Peru
na, unlike so many spring medicines is
not simply a physic or stimulant or
nervine. It ia a natural tonic and in-
vigorstor.
If you do not receive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peru
na, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giv
ing a full statement of your case, and
he will lie pleased to give you his valu
able advice gratis.
