the buffalo hunters of the early '70s,
who in following their business were
constantly exposed TO the attacks of
hostile Indians, were molested COM

"A tablespoonful Of Pe-ru-na should
be taken before each meal, between
meals, and AT bedtime, and enough
Man-a-lin at night to produce one nat
ural action of the bowels each day.
When the disease is of long standing
heated Pe-ru-na should be applied to

The pension case of Judge Charles
ID. Long of Michigan. which has been
before the local courts of the District
in one form or another for some months
has beeu finally determined by the
Court of Appeals, the commissioner of
pensions coming out victorious 1t is
quite probable that the case will now
be taken TO the United States Supreme
Court. The history of the case, briefly
told is as follows: About year ago
the commissioner of pensions caused
the pension of Judge Long TO be reduc
ed from $72 to $50 per month. The
case was first brought before Judge
Bradley of the District supreme court,
who decided in effect, that the COM
missoners of pensions had no right TO
reduce the pension. The decision of
the Court of Appeals reverseS the de-
cision of Judge Bradley, holding that a
pension is not a vested right. except in
limited sense, that the courts cannot
interfere in matters of this kind, and
that the commissioner had perfect
right 10 review the acts of his prede-
cessors. While it is very probable that
the case will be appealed TO the SUI
preme court, there is very little likeli
hood that that tribunal will fail to sus-
tain the position taken by Commissions
or Lochren, as maintained by the Court
of Appeals.

Are You Married?

Nature intended that all human
 beings should mate as soon as they reached the age of maturity, but un- fortunately society, custom and sur roundings have willed it otherwise. However, should nature have it's course, some communities are so small that it IS impossible te mate its young people satisfactorily, and they are forced to pass down the river of life forgotten and alone. A happy thought was the formation of the Affinity Publishing Company, of Scranton, Pa. They are issuing 6 high class matrimonial journal which is widely endorsed. Its ob- ject is to bring kindred souls to- gether by means of correspondence, and no doubt the result will be number of happy marriages.

Deafness is caused by an infamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm perfect heariug, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is theresult, and unless the infamation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

She Was Polite.


The Cincinnati Tribune reports a
somewhat improbable but mildly anus
ing anecdote of dentist and his SER
want. 1t happened, as tho story runs,
thaton the very day of the servants en-
gagement by the dentist she had had a
tooth filled at another office Just around
the street corner. Her new master gave
her long and minute set of instruc-
tions, laying particular stress upon the
Importance of treating callers pclitely.
MY patients are many of them
wealthy and aristocratic," he said,
and besides, people are apt to be in a
pretty nervous and sensitive state when
they have occasion to see a dentist
Tho least thing will annoy them. -
" Yes, sir, :" said the new giri.
''Ihey may be suffering terribly.''
Yes, sir y
The servant turned out to be very
good one, faithful, attentive and com
petent. In the course of few months,
however. the doctor began TO miss some
OF his old patients, and to wonder a
good deal over the frequency with
which some of them failed to keep their
engagements. One day he was talking
the matter over with his wife at the
table.
" Is it the lady with the green car
riage and the yellow legged footman
you mean, sir?'' inquired the girl,
who had been listening.
Yes, that's the one; Mrs. r. She
hasn't been here for MONTHS" answered
the doctor.
Yes, SIR" said the girl, "you were
out when she called the last time. {"
You are sure you treated her
politely"
"Oh yes, sir. | sent her round the
corner to Doctor Blank. He's first
class dentist. y
The doctor nearly choked with sur
prise.
"Oh, hos a good dentist" repeated
the girl, with charming simplicity.
" | have often been to him.. d"
And you have sent others to him9''
Yes, sir, Ialways send them to him
when you are not in. It's only polite,
sir.
The dentist is picking up his practice
again, and the too polite servant has
found Il new place.

The Sioux, observing that no more

tavern we found that the two employees
left at home had done all in their
power for the suffering girl and boy.
The other settlers beard the awful
news with banched faces. Inwardly
they thanked their Maker that they
had listened to the words Of warning
and had remained under the hospitable
roof of the tavern. The sight Of those
naked, mutilated bodies haunted me
for many days, and long afterward
could not pass Sioux Indian, even
peaceable one, without feeling desire
to injure him in some way, and thus
avenge that horrible massacre. Always
when dealing with hotheaded or
hasty man | had but to relate the death
of Allison and his family to make such
an impression upon his mind as to
insure implicit obedience. -
