MIR. JASON BRYAN, FRANKLIN, IND.
my friend is improving, thanks to you
and Ps-ru-na. I am called on to nurse the
sick Of all classes, though 1 am not doctor.
I recommend Pe-ru-na to such an extent that
| am nicknamed 'Pe-ru-na' by nearly every
body. j.! am going to have my photo taken
soon, and if my photo or anything else I can
say about your medicine will benefit you or
anybody else, I will gladly allow you to use
them. Jason Bryan, Franklin, Ind.
The nurse is often brought to closer OBJ
servation of the effect of any medicine than
the doctor himself. In constant attendance
upon the patient day and night, he observes
the effect of every dose of medicine, while
the doctor only sees the patient occasionally
and must rely, more or less, upon the re-.
ports OF the nurse. Pe-ru-na> is in high favor
With the nurses. It is a specific for catarrhal
diseases Of. all varieties. It cures catarrh
of the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh
OF the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh
OF the kidneys, and that form of catarrh so
common among women, known to the pro-
fession as pelvic catarrh, ordinarily called
female complaint. Pe-ru-na cures these
troubles promptly and permanently.

MISSION OF ssDON QU1XOrE. .
The Author Declared 1t Was Written
to Ridicule Absurd Stories
of Chivalry.

The object of Cervantes in writing
Don Quixote' was, as he himself de-
clared, to render abhorred OF men the
false and absurd stories contained in
the books of chivalry. The fanaticism
caused by these romances was so great
in Spain during the sixteenth century
that the burning of all extant copies
was earnestly requested by the cortes
Tor legislature of the realm). To de-
stroy passion that had taken such
deep, root among all classes, to break
up the only reading which at that time
was fashionable and popular, was a.
bold undertaking, yet one in which
Cervantes succeeded.
No books of chivalry were written
after the appearance of "Don Quixote,"
and from that time those in existence
have been steadily disappearing, until
now they are among the rarest of lit
erary curiosities. This romance, which
Cervantes threw so carelessly from his
pen, and which he only regarded as
an effort to break up the absurd fan
cies about chivalry, has now therefore
become the oldest specimen of romantic
fiction and one of the most remarkable
monuments to genius.
Ten years after it's appearance its
author published the second part Of
"Don Quixote," which is even better
than the first. It was written in his
old age, when in prison, and finished
when he felt the hand Of death press
ing cold and heavy upon him. London

A FEW REQUISITES.
What Was Wanted of q Girl in One
Household.

The hired girl out of job cast her eagle
eye over the want notices of the newspaper
WANTED, Wanted, Wanted" she read in
one or two-linee ads, straight down the col.
umn, shaking her head at intervals as if
disappointed in her search. Finally her
face 1ightened as she saw loaded notice
in another column of more pretensions than
it, fellows.
She turned to it and read eagerly. Then
she threw the paper from her.
"What's the matter?" asked the girl with
her.
"Read that" and she gathered up the
sheet and handed it over to the other one,
who read this notice:
"Wanted-A young and strong woman of
good disposition and habits, obedient and
knowing her place, willing and ready, act
i've and efficient, to cook, wash and iron, do
general homework and take care of chill
dren: Evenings and afternoons off when
possible. Apply, with references, ETC., etc. "
''Well?' said the reader.
ITS not we'll at all" responded the one
looking for work. **That man, whoever he
is, is advertising for wife, I should say

ing for that kind of a job. Just plain

EARTH AND HEAVEN.

There's more of heaven on earth than
many dream,
II earth-born senses would permit us see
And heaven Is nearer to this earth, deem
Than to our holden sight it seems to be:
There are pure thoughts that have no root
in self,
Seek not their own but rather others
good, ~!
That count this worlds best things as pal
try pelf
That cannot satisfy VI If they would.
Silent and motionless as carven stone,
We gaze at times with an distracted air
Across the dim, mysterious unknown,
And span it with thought, half wish
half prayer;
Nor count 1t strange that heavens bright
ones should come
With comforting and strength into our
lives,
Or that some light from heavens eternal
In hours of needed grace and strength ar
rives!
Yes, heaven lies all about us, even here:
We breathe its incense in the flowers
perfume,
The birds sweet song that falls upon our
Comes like note Of gladness through the
gloom.
And there are thoughts Of love that come
and go
Like angels on the ladder Jacob saw,
That bear sweet fruitage even here below,
And from the wounded heart it's arrows
draw.
Earth-born and heaven-born, both worlds
are ours,
Our feet tread one, while In the higher
sphere,

powers,
We breathe the higher life that knows no
fear.
Surely a part Of our employ in heaven
Will be to learn and rightly understand
The mysteries, to solve which we have
striven
While dwelling in this transient border
land.

Would you like to see his letter?' }
II certainly would. I don't believe
you can show any such document. I
challenge you to do So"
threw out this challenge quite bold
~, but inwardly I felt little weak
over the possibility that father might
have been foolish enough to write such
letter. He had often spoken to me
of Amy and limited at the desirability
of a match between us. He had even
said that Abel himself had written that
he would be agreeable to such an al
lance. But this was before TIC differ
ence. These reflections sobered me
somewhat, andI said, mLre mildly:
Mr.. Braithwaite, will be frank with
you and say that expected far diff
ferent reception here, and I fear that
rny surprise, and may say disappoint-
ment, has led me to say things should
not"
"4ou can hardly patch the matter up
now, young man. But how could you
expect different reception? :. You can
not be conscious of your impertinence
in calling here at ALL
us it impertinent for me to wish to
see your family when have not had
that pleasure for so long?''
ITO be sure it is when you come on
this errand. There is some limit to the
forbearance of friendship. But you
have amused me enough now, and I'll
ask you to"
a sharp peal of the bell interrupted.
He turned his head to listen and stood
waiting disdainfully. The maid went
to the door and brought a card to Abel.
He cast glance at it, sprang up, came
toward me and asked:
'tWho are you, anyhow?''
II should think you would know
from the way you have talked to me-"
I replied, holly.
'Then there must be two young men
rejoicing under the name Of Richard
Downs"
Orchard Downs" I cried, feeling
in my vest pocket and drawing out q
card.
Iglanced at it and saw my own name.
"a thousand pardons, SIR" I ex-
claimed, II gave you the wrong card.
I'm not Richard Downs"
'Who in the name of sense are you,
then?''
I gave him my card.
"What fool I've made of myself"
he cried. II should have known this.
Why, Mr.. Craydor, there isn't anyone
we would rather see here than YOUR
self"
He babe the maid tell Richard Downs
to call again, then, running into the
hall, called:
"Amy, come down here and see the
guest I've been abusing to the best of
my ability"
He did not need to call twice, and in
moment I was made glad by the
greeting had hoped for. The similar
ity of the disputes Mr.. Braithwaite had
with Mr.. Downs and my father may be
easily surmised. There were facts in
the latter, however, that warranted all
he had said to the supposed son.
The only way could ease their NOR
LITIGATION was to transfer my luggage
to their home. During my stay Abel
was continually asking about his 'tcom-
mon dishonesty and whether he was

but felt that had not told the old
gentleman quite enough, so I de-
cided to stay until I thought had
done him full justice.
II want to tell you, SIR" went on,
"that we still have some regard for
friendship in the west.''
He looked surprised at this, and I
paused doubtfully, but seeing his face
growing more contemptuous, I fin
ished:

quest or even mention that unfortunate
$4,000. My father is as sorry

sorry. A man who"

word said against him. repeat that I
didn't come here to mention that S., 900,
but
"Oh, 1 suppose now you come in gen

for my daughter Amy?"
He was interrupted by the quick rus
tie of the dress as the young lady in
question rapidly retreated. I WINGED
as I recollected that such request had
! not been entirely foreign to my hopes.

"you have utterly ruined it by your

would not respect young man who
would weakly submit when he believes
you are wrong, as you certainly are.''
"According to your view of it. When
your father had the impudence to write
that he would say no more about that
matter of $4,000 if would permit you
to come east and try to win my daugh-

Could the man be joking? asked
myself this before I said anything 1
might regret in case he should be. But
it was plain he was in earnest, and I
had never heard father say that Abel
Brathwaite ever joked. did not reply,
and he went on:
II haven't the slightest doubt that
your assurance is unbounded enough to

1t was the misunderstanding, after
all. I could not credit my own eyes

This seemed to amuse him for some
unaccountable reason. A smile glinted
through his anger, as if he suddenly
appreciated the opportunity to see just
how far western assurance would go.
[ read it thus, and determined that he
should be fully satisfied.
'And l have no doubt" he proceeded,

that, upon your mere demand, would

He sat down in thu. nearest chair, re-

his hands on his knees, looked into my

him, looked him squarely in the eyes,
and said:

But His Carclessness Got Him Into

A young gentleman, whose gallantry was
largely in excess of his pecuniary means,
sought to remedy this defect and save the
money required for the purchase of expensive
flowers by arranging with gardener to let
him have bouquet from time to time in re-
turn for his cast-off clothes.
It thus happened one day that he received
a bunch of the most beautiful roses, which
he at once sent off to his lady love. In sure
anticipation of friendly welcome he called
at the house of the lady the same evening
and was not little surprised at the frosty
reception he met with.
