Joy Pervades New England.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Colonel
Brigham, Assistant Secretary of Agri.
culture, has returned from a trip tc
New England. He reports that the
people of the section generally ex-
press themselves as pleased with the
change that has taken place in indus
trial conditions.
While the farmers are especially de-
lighted on account Of the enhanced
value OF their products, there is no
disposition on the part of others to
grumble because they have to pay
more to the farmers.
Colonel Brigham still holds to the
opinion that the aggregate value Of
the entire crop of the country will be
almost, if not quite, half billion dol
lars in excess of last year.

raised the largest wheat crop in Sum
ner county. is son of the famous Sia-
mese twins.

twins, two of the boys came West and
settled near Milan, where they still
live.
Bunker has large farm we'll stocked

Wasted lives.

Some people use their energies in a
way that wastes the greater part of
them. Hurry, worry, irritation, vex-
alton, determination, and foolish anx-
iety keeps them constantly wasting
precious vitality. This is foolishness.
People do not want irritation or slim
ulation. When anyone is tired he
wants rest, not stimulants. When
anyone's energies begin to flag re-
cuperation, not irritation, is wanted.
"All tired out, some people say,
81 need a stimulant A very mis-
taken idea No doubt such a one is
in need of invigoration, recuperation,
but not stimulants. StimuIants draw
upon the vigor which one already
possesses; they produce no vigor.
When one is tired out, nervous, weak
and respondent, Pe-ru-na is what is
needed in the system. Pe.ru-na in
vigorates, recuperates, builds up, vi
talizes, enriches, reinforces. Unlike
so many other remedies, it does not
simply irritate and stimulate. Peru
ma is an invigorator to nerve and
blood. Send for copy of DIR. Hart.

Prosperity In New York.

Real prosperity has at last struck
New York.
The laboring man knows all about
it, for he has already begun to reap
his harvest. There is employment
now for nearly all, and though wages
have not been greatly increased, pay
envelopes are latter, because artisans
work six days a week instead of half
time, as many did months ago.
1t is estimated by labor statisticans,
men who keep track of the labor de-
mand as closely as Wall Street watches
the market, that not over S per cent
of the working class is now in idle
ness. Six months ago between IS
and DO per cent OF the toilers were out
of work, and in the dead of winter
probably every other man who de-
ponds on his muscle to earn his livli-
hood was without steady employment.
There were then 100, 900 dependent
on friends or charity, or drawing their
little savings to get bread for them
selves and their families. Today less
than 10000 in the Greater New York
are out of work, and some of these are
of the shiftless sort who would not
work under any consideration-N. Y.

For there's sunshine in his home again

And his 'nest egg" in the savings bank

Patriotism, glowing and eloquent,
marked every part of the great cele-
bratiou with which the survivors Of
the famous Twenty-third Regiment
OF Ohio Volunteers, Infantry, last
Thursday at Fremont, Ohio, honor
ed their many dead. and, above all,
their living comrade, President Will
liam Mckinley, at the old home OF
another famous member, the late
President Hayes.
The late President Hayes was also
a member of the regiment. Twenty
years ago Mr.. Hayes was President
and Mr.. Mckinley was Congress
man. Then the regiment held its re-
union here, and the corner stone of
City Hall was laid on the site of Fort
Stevenson. Mr.. Hayes presided and
Mr.. Mckinley was orator of the day.
The pretty Ohio town was mass
of gay bunting in honor of the oc-
casion, and the thousands of residents
and visitors joined in all the plans of
the old soldiers to make the day one
never to be forgotten as a patriotic
celebration.
A touching scene took place at the
lakewood Cemetery, the burial place
of ex- President Hayes. President
Mckinley, escorted by members OF
the Twenty-third, visited the grave
about noon, where, with heads I'M
covered, a brief service was held.
The President was visibly affected as
he made few touching remarks re-
parding the dead commander.
