AND THE CAT CAME BACK.
Mr.. Downs Has a Pussy That Refuses
to BE Lost.

From the New York Press.
Mr.. Downs. an engineer on local
railroad, has a cat that he can't lose.
The animal came into his possession
some time ago. Her traits were not
such as to endear her to Downs, and so
he determined to get rid of her. He
put the cat into a bag and took her tc
Salem, forty-five miles away.
Now" said Downs, as he turned the
cat loose in the rounhouse at Salem, Il
guess that I've got rid of you."
But Downs didn't know that cat.
When he returned home that night he
found the cat sleeping peacefully on
the hearth in his home. Downs was
amazed.
How did that cat get here?" he
asked.
"She came back this afternoon" re-
piled his wife.
well, 1 declare" calculated Downs,
as he moved toward the feline.
But the cat, suspecting some fell de-
sign on the part of Downs, leaped nim-
bly, to her feet and sped to the upper
part of the house. Downs has taken
the cat on several trips and each time
tried to lose her. But she returned
every time. Downs says that he be-
lieves that if he kills her her ghost will
come back.

Wasted Lives.

Some people used their energies in a
way that wastes the greater part of
them. Hurry, worry, irritation, vexa-
ton, determination, and foolish anx-
iety keeps them constantly wasting
precious vitality. This is foolshness.
People do not want irritation or stmu-
lation. When anyone is tired he wants
rest, not stimulants. When any ones
energies begin to flag recuperation, not
irritation, Is wanted.
"All tired out" some people say, 81
need a stimulant." A very mistaken
idea. No doubt such a one is in need
of invigoration, recuperation, but not
stimulants. Stimulants 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 sys-
tenn. Pe-ru-na invigorates. recuper-
ates, builds up. vitalizes. enrlches, re-
inforces. Unlike so many other reme-
dies, IT does not simply irritate and
stimulate. Pe-ru-na is an invigorator
to nerve and blood. Send for copy

AT LANCASTER.

The game played on the fair grounds
last Saturday was as pretty an exhibi-
of ball playing as was ever seen on the
home grounds. 1t was such a game
as fills the heart of the baseball fan
with delight, replete with sharp field
ing, good hitting and no kicking.
Elliot showed up strongest when
there were men on bases. and Gregg
put up his usual swift game behind
the bat, getting two foul flies that
were chances. The outtield showed
up remarkably strong, Shiefel, Ivey
and Hamilton, all accepting difficult
chances without an error. The in
field also played snar y ball, Keyes,
Edwards and Lewis accepting every
thing that came their way, while Sui
ly was charged with the only two err
rors Lancaster made, but they were
both on hard chances.
The score is as follows.

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away a bottle Of their Digestive Cordial
to anyone who might call at their
New York office, there was a great
rush and great many people thought
they were crazy.
Subsequent events proved it to have
been very clever advertising trans
action, for although they gave away
thousands Of bottles it was in the end
protitable nearly everyone that took
free bottle came back for more and
paid for it with pleasure, saving they
had derived better results from its
use than from any other medicine
they had ever used
