Two Hundred Specie of nniet,
There are 200 species of roses In ex
istence, though perhaps not more than
fifty clearly uVHned families. Of these
families only two are of American
birth. There are thousands of varie
ties, however, and of these our enter
prising rose growers huve contributed
by far the largest proportion. The
eagerly sought bluck rose Is still un
produced, though a New York florist
lias a dark-red one which In some
lights has the appearance of black vel

MRS. LtNORA BODENHAMER.
Mrs. Lenora Bodenhamer, R. F. D. 1,
Box 09, Kernersvllle, N. C, writes:
"I suffered with stomach trouble and
Indigestion for some time, and nothing
that I ate agreed with me. I was very
nervous and experienced a continual
feeling of uneasiness and fear. I took
medicine from the doctor, but it did me
no good.
"I found in one of vour Peruna books
a description of my symptoms. I then
wrote to Dr. Hartman for advice. He
said I had catarrh of the stomach. I
took Peruna and Manalin and followed
his directions and can now say that I
'eel as well as I ever did.
"Ihope that all who are afflicted with
the same symptoms will take Peruna,
as it has certainly cured me."
The above Is only one of hundreds
who have written similar letters to Dr.
Hartman. Just one such case as this en
titles Peruna to the candid consideration
of every one similarly afflicted. If this
be true of thetestimony of one person,
what ought to be the testimony of
hundreds, yes thousands, of honest, sin'
cere people. We have in cur
great many other testimonials.

Dead Steer Drowns Parmer,
Thrown from the track by the en
gine of a fast freight train, the body
of a steer struck It. J. Goodwin of
Mlddleboro, Ky., who was on a horse
close by; and knocked him and the
horse Into the waters of Cannon Creek.
Goodwin and the horse both were
drowned,
Goodwin was driving several head of
cattle to bis farm near Four Mile. As
he reached the railroad crossing near
Fermlale the train approached at a
rapid rate of speed. The cattle were
on tbe track and the train plowed its
way through the bunch. Mr. Goodwin
was not on the track and seemed to be
out of harm's way.
The heavy engine picked up one of
the steers, however, and threw It high
Into the air. It fell against the horse
on which Mr. Goodwin was riding and
both were thrown over a high embank
ment Into the creek, which was swollen
from rain.
