The Mayor-Oh, you need not have any deli

Mr.. Coy-Oh, no; there's no necessity to be
nice about it.
Alderman Pritchard moved that, ''as the stat

the mayor; that he also do not call the name of

Chronic Cafarrh.

c. w. Mellier, of 4o6 South Fourth
street, St. Louis, is twenty years of age,
and has been a sufferer from chronic
catarrh, which had become quite often
sive. When he came to DR.. Hartman, two
months ago, he was told it would take six
months to cure him. But he has pro-
gressed beyond all expectations, and
nearly all signs of the disease have dis
appeared. Before being treated he could
not breathe out of the nose, and now he
has perfect control of the nasal organ.
PERUNA did the business.
James Dunn, of 1910 Gay street. st.
Louis, has suffered from catarrh since
1870. The gentleman told the reporter
the following straightforward story of
his case. az took the disease in Mem
phis. 1t commenced in my head and
extended to my throat, and bad cough
followed. l went to a number of ply
sicians, and they told me my trouble was
liver disease, and one said it was palpita-
ton of the heart that caused the cough.
For the last year have been practically
worthless. I could not ascend flight of
stairs without suffering from shortness of
breath and fast beating of the heart, and
my appetite was very defective. After
eating l often coughed so hard that
would throw up everything in my stom-
ach. 1 could not walk any distance with
out painting. Five weeks ago 1 went
under the care of DIR. Hartman. and now
my cough has disappeared and I feel like
a new man." PERUNA was his treat
ment.
Next came George Sauerbaum. residing
at 1929 Carr street, st. Louis, who is an
old patient of DIR. Hartman. He stated
that he had suffered most intensely from
chronic catarrh of the head and lungs, but
is now almost cured, his lungs being en-
tirely well and his head greatly improved.
The gratitude of this gentleman was
almost boundless, and he expressed it to
the reporter in the strongest terms, say
ing "PERUNA will cure any disease"
1. P. Dukehart, of Cumberland, Md,
superintendent B. & o. R. R. Co.'S Hotels
conductor on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road for twenty-eight years, and previous

MAN s. Co, Columbus, o. l have used
but one bottle of PERUNA between myself
and son. He had diptheretic sore throat,
and is now well. AS for myself, it has en-
tirely relieved the dullness in my head,
! which has been of long standing-the re-
suit of chronic malaria. l never took
anything in my life that gave me such
great satisfaction. My wife is now TAX
ing it also"

The COlOred Sexton.

large Western city was a good colored
brother, who rarely took part in the
social religious meetings of the society

Fashion Notes.

Homespun promises to be popular for
spring costumes.
Jerseys have the high collar and cuffs
of marabeut chenille
Some of the new fringes are tipped
with sequins and cats-eyes.
The latest barbarism is the adornment
of bonnets with skylarks. What next?
Tartan ribbons of velvet are used to
trim felt bonnets, worn with tailor>
made costumes.
Very few flowers are seen upon bon.
nets. The preference is for ribbon and
delicate feathers.
A child's dress of navy blue and cardi,
nal red serge has a box pleated skirt.
The red Fedora front is trimmed with
blue and gold braid
Black. white or reddish-tinted laces
are worn over colOred underdresses. A
variety of toilets may thus be arranged
at comparatively little expense.
Evening bonnets to correspond with
the costume have the crowns of the fig
ured materials and the brims of the
plain fabric of which the dIess is COM
posed.
A bonnet of gray ottoman silk has the
brim lined with plush of the same color
1t is trimmed with bows of gray satin
ribbon, relieved by delicate pink feath+
ers arranged among the loops. The
strings are of gray satin.

Don't Hold on TO Your Produce

If you have anything to sell, sell it and
draw it to market. If what you have to
sell is cheap, what you have to buy is
cheap also. 1t seldom pays to bold on
to farm produce. If any of the neigh-
bors want little tesming done, it will
not hurt one of the boys to do it-or the
horses either. 1t will bring in money
enough to keep the library table well
supplied with agricultural. religious and
literary papers, magazines and books.
Start farmers club. Test your feed
and garden seeds. Make boxes for start
ing plants in the house. If the law and
the pathmaster will permit you to work
out the road tax by drawing gravel, do it
now. And when you are doing it draw
some for the roads and walks about the
house and barns.

Little Footprints.

Little footprints on the snow,
Vanish in the sunbeam's glow.
Little footprints by the way;
Rain will wash them out some day.

Leave behind, though great or small.

Lead some in the upward way.

Downward to the world of woe!
