So shy, indeed, ] can't forget
Her bushes red.
And when she mounted her pony true

Again he said,
Now she's a bold and airy maid,

MOTHERS TERRIBLE DEED
While Removing a Pistol 1t Acct
dentally ExpIodes
AND KILLS HER CHILD
Mother Stricken With Grief by the Fearful
Trsgedy-No Blame Attached to
the Woman.

A terrible tragedy was enacted at 4:30
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, at 1913 South
Twenty-feurth street. on Browns hill, by
which mother ended the existence of
her year-and-a-half-old daughter.
Anna Williams had just finished her
weekly house cleaning, and rushed up to
a shelf to take down an old British bull
dog pistol, which she intended to put in
her trunk. There was one bullet in the
cylinder, and this was accidentally ex-
ploded. The ball took effect in the little
girls body, who was peacefully rocking
herself in her rocking chair, and killed
her almost instantly.
There were in the room at the time an
other little girl and the woman's moth
er, and each and all of them corroborated
the sta tement of its being an accident.
Officer Nix was called, and hurried over
to the home of the unfortunate people.
He made thorough examination of all
the witnesses, and as the woman was
greatly distressed and seemed heart
broken, no arrests were made.
After the exhaustion in cleaning the
entire house, the terrible experience of
the tragedy has completely Frustrated the
woman.

by the disease eating away the substance
of the lung. These cavaties are either
hlIed with pus or they may be empty,

merous and small or few and large OF
course, each cavity destroys a portion of
the lung, and If the disease is not checked
they will destroy the whole lung Thous-
ands of people are dying every year with
consumption, directly caused by chronic
catarrh. Everyone who has catarrh
should know this. Consumption is simply
catarrh of the lungs. The catarrh spreads
to the lungs from the throat A neg
lected case of chronic catarrh is almost
the same as suicide. II is. almost sure
to end in consumption.

first stage. Pc ?ru-na cures chronic ca
tarrh in its later stages, but 1t requires
longer time. Pe-ru-na cures coughs,

tarrh. Pe-ru-na prevents consumption
because 1t cures catarrh. Even after con-
