AROUSED THE JUDGE,

Judge Randolph OF Kansas was hearing a
divorce case last fall. The witness was the
plaintiff white haired man, broken in
health and spirit, and wearing bronze but

and the session monotonous.
"lou say your wife abused you; tell US Just

"Stop!' commanded the aroused Judge.
"This divorce is granted. The court spent
four years In that war-and the court came
back"
The monotony was broken for that day.

March, April, May.

Almost every one has come to believe
that March, April and May is a season
that brings arrangements of the body
dependent ON blood impurities. This
belief is an old one, is nearly universal,
and has arisen. not as the result of the
teachings of the medical fraternity, but
has been learned in the bitter school of
experience. Depression of the nerv-
GUS system at the approach of spring
is fertile source of blood impurities,
general lassitude, dull, heavy sensa-
tions, continual tired feelings, with ir-
regular appetite, and sometimes loss of
sleep.
Pe-ru-na meets every indication and
proves itself to be perfectly adapted to
all their varied peculiarities. Pe-ru-na
invigorates the system, rejuvenates the
feelings, restores the normal appetite
and procures regular sleep. That tired
feeling which is the natural result of
the depressing effect of warm weather
Immediately after the invigorating cold
of winter, quickly disappears when Pc
ru-na is taken. Thousands are daily
testifying to its priceless benefit.

book on this interesting subject can OBJ

King Hanna has got everything he
has reached for up to date, but certain
Senators who think he is now reaching
after too much are preparing to give
him disappointment, and there are
big odds in favor of their succeeding.
King Hanna is reaching for place on
the Senate Finance Com nittee, in
which there are two vacancies caused
by the retirement of Sherman and
Voorhees,, in order that he may b e
properly fixed to boss the tariff bill,
which will go to that Committee as
soon as it gets through the House. No
new Senator has been given a place on
that committee in the memory of the
Oldest s snator, but that doesn't make
any difference to Hanna. He wants it
and has made his want known. It is
practically certain that he won't get it
Tom Platt also wants a place on this
Committee, but as he has been in the
Senate before, his aspiration is not con
sidered as audacious as that of King
Hanna, but whether he will get the
place is very, very doubtful.

Toilet of Animals.

Cats, large and small, make the most
careful toilet of any class of animals,
excepting some of the opossums. The
lions and tigers wash themselves in
exactly the same manner as the cat,
wetting the dark, indiarubber-like ball
of the forefoot and the toe, and passing
it over the face and behind the ears.
The foot is thus at the same time face
sponge and brush, and the rough
tongue combs the rest of the body.
Hares also use their feet to wash
their faces, and the hare's foot is
so suitable for brush that it is gener.
ally used to apply the paint" to the
face for the stage.

Where The Money Went.

The vicar of rural parish who had
waxed eloquent on the subject of for
eign missions one Sunday was sur
prised on entering the village shop dur
ing the week to be greeted with marked
coldness by the worthy dame who kept
it: On seeking to know the cause, the
good woman produced a coin from 0
drawer, and, throwing it down before
the vicar, exclaimed: "I marked that
holy crown and put it in the plate last
Sunday, and here lit is back again in
the shop. I knowed we'll them niggers
never got the money!;
