VERVOUS PROSTRATION CURED BY PE-RU-NA. Mr. H al. P. Denton, Chief Depart­ ment Publicity and Promotion of Na­ tional Export Exposition, writes. Philadelphia, Dec. 20, 1899. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O. Gentlemen:— “ Toward the latter part of August I found myself in a very much run-down condition. I suffered particularly irom catarrh of the stom­ ach, aggravated no doubt by the respon­ sibilities and worriment incident to the exploitation of a great international exposition. What I ate distressed me and 1 would lie awake at night 'thresh­ ing over,’ if I may use that expression, the affairs of the previous day. “ M y family physician said I had nervous prostration and recommended a sea voyage. I gradually grew worse. A kind friend whom I had known in Ohio recommended Peruna. Though skeptical, I finally yielded to his ad­ vice. After using one bottle I was much improved and with the fifth bottle came complete recovery. I am in perfect health today and owe every­ thing to Peruna.” Very truly yours, H A L . P. DENTON. If you do not derive prompt and sat­ isfactory results from the use of Para­ na, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giv­ ing a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valu­ able advice free.

A story of Abraham Lincoln would have to he older than the oue below to lose its characteristic savor. In the summer of 1857 Mr. Lincoln w as sitting In his office when he was visited by one of bis neighbors, an ex­ cellent farmer, hut oue Inclined to in­ crease the size of his crops even after harvesting. He had given, on this par­ ticular morning, a skillfully padded ac­ count of the hay be had put In. •'I’ve been cutting hay, too,” re­ marked Mr. Lincoln. “ Why, Abe, are you farming?” "Yes." "W h a t you raise?” ‘‘Just hay.” “Good crop this year?" “ Excellent." “ How many tons?" "W ell, I don’t know Just how man) tons, Simpson, but my men stacked all they could outdoors, and then storea l the rest In the bam.” E asy E nough. Harry de Windt, In his book, “Fin i Ian as It Is,” tells of a mot of Andree, the Arctic explorer. Just before his last voyage he was driven to distrac­ tion at a dinner purfy by a talkative I neighbor. "But how will you know, professor, | when you have really crossed the j North Pole?” was one of many silly ' questions. “Oh. that will lie simple enough, madam.” replied Andree, with his well-known dry humor.

W ONDERFUL n v p t a r o u Hr SAM TLPtTCHtR Exactly. The Century magazine is about to print a serial which will have an espe­ cial interest to people who are at home on tli« prairies. It is called “ The Biography of a Prairie G ir l,” and the author is Eleanor Gates, a young woman who spent her childhood in Dakota and who thus writes from the closest personal observation. The time of Miss Gates’ story is about 25 years ago; it is put, in the form of a personal narrative of the life of a little girl, and there is hardly a phase or event of prairie life which is not touched upon in these pages— the ulizzard, breaking colts, horse stealing by Indians, school days on the frontier, lighting gophers and badgers, cattle raising and other typical phases of hardship or prosperit). It is not a 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 Biography of a Prairie G irl” will begin in the August number of the Century and it will be illustrate«!.
