That Pe-ru-na is unequaled as a
spring medicine is testified by great
many people every spring. When
one is run down, listless and tired,
depressed with that peculiarly dis
tressing trouble popularity known as
Spring Fever, Pe-ru-na should always
be taken, as it is sure to give prompt
and permanent relief.
Lena L. Stoll, Adrian, Mich, writes
as follows: It affords me much pleas
ure to testify to the merits of your
Pe-ru-na. I can speak in the highest
terms of it, having used it for five
years as spring medicine with great
benefit to myself and I recommend it
to my friends with like results" J.
R. Stuart, Eastland, Tex, the opposite
end of the continent, corroborates her
statements as follows: Il purchased
bottle of Pe-ru-na and it was used
by myself and wife as spring medi-
cine. I consider it the best dollars
worth | ever bought. My wife has
used your remedies with gratifying
results"

SPORT WITH BROMBIES.
Hunting the Wild Horses on the
Australian Plains.

The bromide, the wild horse
of uncertain origin, which
roams the Australian plains, is
hunted by the Australians for
sport and profit. The bromide
herds, of about dozen animals
each, are exceedingly destruct-
i've, and next to rabbits are the
most hated mammals in Aus
tralia. II is supposed that
these mustangs are the prog
eny of the horses which from
time to time have escaped
from the ranches. The wild
life has agreed with them and
they have grown into a type
nicely adapted to their sur
roundings. The stallion, which
can trace it's pedigree back
through uncounted generations
Of the brombies, is a handsome
beast, with a trim body, CULVER
ing muscles, and a gait exceed
ingly graceful, almost flying,
the hunters of brornbies say.
Arthur c.. Stevens was once
in a bromide hunt on the plan
tation of Mclean, in the north
ern part of Queensland, on the
shores of the Gulf of Capentar-
la. A herd of brombies, six
mares, three yearling colts, and
cream colored stallion were
damaging the ranch, and Nc
Lean decided to capture the
bunch, alive if possible, but

animal down, and he was haul
ed out on his side to go back to
the plains in disgrace. He
ought to have been decorated
and dedicated to the founding
of race Of peacemaking, high
kicking and fast running cat
tie. Instead, he will be used
for the boys who hope to be
bull fighters to practice on on
the ranch. No bull is paid for
until after the battle, and if
one fails to charge his owner
can't charge either. There are
seven bulls at each fight, and
if two out of these are not kill
ed you get tickets free to the
next fight.
This time the other six were
killed, one after the other. They
fought fercely, charged around
the ring, scared the fighters"
over the fence times without
number and died hard, but the
odds were too many. It isn't
very unpleasant to see the bull
killed. He doesn't finch. He
is game till it is over. But the
shameful, inexcusable barbar-
ity of the whole thing is the
fate of the horses ridden by the
picadors. These futile scrubs,
weaker than the old stage
horse in his very last stage, are
ripped and torn by the bulls
most horribly. Four were kill
ed at the fight and others
dreadfully mutilated. The
whole ring would be cleared,
and men, horses, and every
thing else done up if these
Texan bulls had brains to
match their bodies. They lack
continuity of thought. Just as
their opportunity comes they
turn aside, when a dozen steps
more, right along the line, and
they would have on their horns
the fellows they were after.
My friend told of some A1neri-
cans who brought down Jer-
sey bull here to their ranch.
Like his kind, he soon became
hopelessly ugly. They we're
going to kill him but were ask
ed to give him to the bull fight
ers; so there he went. They
sent him into the ring. Up
went his tail and down went
his head. He tore after what
ever he saw. Nothing could
stop him, and the whole fight
ing force found themselves out
side the fence and unwilling to
go back. That sight would
have been fun, but unfortun-
ately, it didn't happen in our
day.
These Texan bulls behave
differently, and, if they show
fight at all they are doomed.
But the killing is a slow pro-
cess. If the thing couldn't be
done quicker at Chicago the
Arrnours and Swifts and Nor
rises would be working out for
a dollar day instead of literal
ly bossing the meat market, as
they do now. But the San
Luis people eat the beef that
the bull fight yields, though
they do have other sources of
supply.
1t is probably we'll to see one
bullfght, because then you
know what they are. But
that's the only argument.
There can't be any fun in see
ing blind horses ripped open
while you wait, in seeing the
mad bulls tortured into weak
ness or in seeing obvious COW
ards jump the fence when
ever they take fright. If they
would "toot" Take him from
the ring" whenever fighter
ran away, as they do with the
bull, the entertainment would
not be quite so one-sided.

hand that way, but he might have taken
it out again and put it back when he met
Guinan. AS the shot was fired think he
called out, 'Ol, Jimr
Guy Guinan, a son of DR.. Guinan, testi-
fed: 81 was on the lower floor of the
house when the shooting occurred. l saw
my sister Jessie and Jones together walk
ing up the street. aad saw my father
come up, and he appeared to be talkln G
with Jones. Then Jones put his hand
into his side coat. pocket and threw it out
away from his body. wheeling sideways as
he did so. Then I heard the shot, and at
first supposed my father had been shot.
A moment later my brother Julian came
downstairs. He fell down-he didn't step
down-and throwing his arms about me,
he cried out: Jones was going to kill
father, and 1 had to shoot him. He then
rushed into the next room and threw his
arms around Mrs. Knapp and repeated
the same words. He was very much ex-
cited and acted like maniac"
There was intense excitement in the
room when Jessie Guinan was called. She
testified that she had met Jones and was
walking up the street when her father
came up. Her account of the meeting
was about the same as that of Attorney
Dennis. Whef- the shot was fired she had
her eyes on h, father and not on Jones.
The shot seemed to come from the direc-
ion of the house. Jones always carried a
pistol. He had told her he always carried
one and had shown it to her. He had
told her that if any trouble came one or
the other would be killed.
"Father told me some months ago that
if he saw us together he would kill Jones
and then himself" said Jessie. Il told
Jones that father had said he would kill
him. In the morning put Julian's win
dow up and saw the rifle In the room"
The Jurors were informed that the win
dow-sill showed the powder stains. and if
they cared to visit the premises they
could do so. They decided not to go, as
they were satisfied as to who fired the
shot. No other witnesses were exam

touching the ground and died after few
days OF torture.
Later advices will be necessary to deter
mine whether any missionaries were
killed or inj jured. 1t is believed at Shang-
hal that the mob's intention was to abso-
lutely prevent the building of missions in
Human rather than exterminate the
missionaries.
Hupeh and Human are ruled by one
ceroy, Chang Chih 1ung, who has
lately organized local police service, and
it is hoped that this force was able to keep
the mob back until troops from Canton
arrived.
Human is one of the richest of China's
eighteen provinces, containing great areas
of cultivated land and timber and mineral
land. Its population mum bers 1000 600,
and but for its inaccess bi,ity and the
fierce disposition of its natives, missions
would have been established there years
ago. AS the Christian and Missionary
Alliance has now 1ully determined to
enter this promising field, further con-
t1icts may be expected. The alliance de-
sires to establish at Ichang OK Shashi
headquarters for work IN Human.
Rev. Charles Beals, superintendent Of
the Missionary Alliance in Central China,
reports that Missionaries Chaplin and
Brown met great opposition while travel
ing through Human in June and July.
They were kicked and stoned and once
were picked up for dead. Natives declared
to them through Interpreters that no "for-
eign devils should dwell in their land.
Rev. Mr.. Beals declares that Human is
Satan'S last and hardest STRONGHOLD
About twenty-five missionaries are work
ing in Hupek and Hunsn, which provinces
have an sggreg ate population of so 600, 900.
DIR. John baptized thirteen natives in
Human last summer, these being the first
baptisms in the province.
The native priests in Hupeh and Human
are ignorant and many are beggars. They
