WARM wEATaEK HAs COME AT LAST.
The Best Season of ths Year to Treat
Chronic Catarrh.

The Best Season of ths Year to Treat
Chronic Cstarrh.
Understanding that a great number of
people have been cured of chronic catarrh
by taking Pe-ru-na during the past cold sea-
son, yet it cannot be denied that the cold,
wet. backward spring has retarded many
cures, and in some cases actually prevented
4 cure. But, alter unusual delay, summer
has come at last, and now is the time for all
catarrh sufferers to begin a systematic
course of treatment for this disease. The
greatest difficulty in the way of treating
chronic catarrh is that the patient is so
liable to catch cold during the treatment
and thus delay a cure. This liability at this
season OF the year is, in great measure,
removed, and no one should neglect the op-
portunity to be given treatment.
The proper way to begin treatment for
chronic catarrh is to take tablespoonful of
Pe-ru-na before each meal and at bedtime.
This dose should be increased SO that in one
month the patient will be taking two table
spoontuls at each dose, at which time re-
port of the case by letter should be made to
DR.. Hartman, Columbus, O., and he will
advise further.
Every patient should have copy of the
Family Physician No. 2, which is 2-page
pamphlet, giving q complete description Of
the cause, symptoms and cure of chronic
catarrh. Senttres to any address

Sir James's face flushed.
II should not think of urging her to marry
me, until she was quite ready and willing to
do so, " he said, quickly 'She wishes it to
be later, and 1 needed no persuasion to agree
to her wishes"
'You are not very impatient wooer 1t

"However impatient was, I should
think of Miriam first" he answered, hotly.
"And agree to the whim of foolish girl

Miriam has behaved very badly must
say; she said nothing to me about all this,

rangements, and now she has gone to you

folly. Do not give in to such folly, Sir
James, you only have to be little firm and

AN ISLAND OF DEATH
Skeletons Lying whers tho Inhabit ants

Skeletons Lying whers tho Inhabita tants
Were When Death Overlook Th-m.
The captain of coasting vessel that
trades from San Diego, CAL, to Guaymas,
Mexico, says that recently he was blown to
sea by a storm and discovered an island not
laid down on anv of the charts. He landed
and found that the island had undoubtedly
been swept BY a scourge of some kind.
There were numerous huts. but not living
thing was to be found.
An examination revealed the fact that the
former residents had died in such numbers
that they had not been buried. The skele-
tons were lying around the island where the
people were when death overlook them.
In one hut were found the remains of II
people, while in many others were the
bores of great numbers. They had been
dead for such time that the bones were be-
ginning to decay. There was little to be
found to show what kind of people they
were, but it is supposed that they belonged
to one of the island tribes which were so
abundant in this part of the coast so
years ago.

Iru0s
BY ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN.

[The following poem is noteworthy, not
only for its beauty, but for the remarkable
fact that its 252 words are all monosy llables.
Mr.. A. A. Hill, who sends it to the Critic
TOR publication, expresses doubt whether
this is surpassed in English literature. The
poem appears to have been written without
q thought of its verbal peculiarity.]
The fair frail blooms which loved the sun
Grew faint at touch Of cold,
And chilled and pale, fell one BY one.
Dead in the dust and mold.
In yon tall tree, now bleached and thinned,
A nest swings frayed and lone,
All soaked with rain and rent by wind
Its fair freight hedged and flown.
Where are the birds, the moths, the bees,
And scores OF glad, free things
Which thronged the ground, the grass, the
trees,
Or thrilled the air with winssf
Gone with the warmth and bloom and light
Born of the sun and sky,
Ere yet there foil this grief ana blight,
And the chill nights drew nigh.
On the low bough that arched the gate
When days were warm and long,
A wren, that has nest or mate,
Droops, all too sad for song.
shorn of its fruit, still clings the vine,
Its fair robes torn and sere;
No tint is left, nor sound, nor sign,
Or all that June held dear.
But here whore down the dim, wet walks
The banched leaves whirl and beat,
One rose looks through the bare brown
stalks,
And charms the air with sweet-
As one brave heart, when all the truth
On earth seems dead or lost,
Still keeps the faith and fire OF youth,
And smiles in spite of frost.
An, though the friends once hold dear
Are far, or false, or flown,
need not grieve, for you are here,
Ny hope, my love. my ovni

Secretary Eikins's Report.

The annual report OF the Secretary OF
War has been made public. Secretary
Elkins expresses qualification in being
able TO say that the Army has main-
tanned throughout the year its high
standard of discipline and efficiency. Since
the present organization OF our infantry was
adopted many changes have taken place In
the art OF war, resulting. among other
things, in a material modification OF the
form Of infantry regiments. Our stationary
condition In this respect has left US with an
obsolete orgauiz atom, the defects OF which
render immediate action in organizing the
liberalization formations for infantry
regiments. fhe Secretary recommends ths
revival of the rank OF Leutsnant-Genoral
as permanent grade.

Secretary thinks the Army, under favor
able conditions, should be one OK
the most desirable trades OF youth.
1t is recommended that the pay OF ali non
commissioned grades be- increased, making
promotion thereto the object OF Legitimate
ambition, thereby inducing the enlistment
of the very best material to compete for pro-
motion to those grades.
The announces ment is made that our To-
dian wars are nearly en1si, and the ne-es-
sity for massing troops no longer exists.

A Strange Petrefaction.

Grinnell Iowa Herald: Eight years
ago Mrs. Abigail Mossman, mother of
Mrs. Chas. Black, was buried IN Ha-
zIewood, on the north slope Of the
hill. Last Thursday Mr.. Black opened
her grave to remove the body to his
lot near the tool house on the hill
Both the outer box and the casket
were found to he so full OF water that
it was almost impossible to remove
them. After draining out the water
the body was still so heavy that it re-
quired five men to remove 1T. The
coffin lid was removed, and it was
found the body was perfect III form
and feature, and of solid stone. With
the exception OF the fingers and toes
the entire body WAS petrilied. \ bou-
quet was held in one hand, which also
was turned to stone. \ part OF the
body was washed and there could be
no doubt. The skin was fair, the hair
in perfect condition, black and shiny
as in lie. IL WAS brushed back and
found to be perfect. After an exam
ination by the five persons present to
satisfy themselves oil the perfect pet
refaction the coffin was closed and
the body again buried.
