"The agony of the situation in
creased. The wreckage, disturbed by
the lever, with sudden lurch settled
again. Another scream of greatest
pain was heard. 1t was living death

begged to be put out of her misery.
There was nothing that could be done
but wait. But her anguish. Could she
stand the strain, the pain?

anguish of Jack Savage at that mo-

pocket, but his hand drew back abb
horrently. Yet the screams of his
wife continued to ring in his ears.

ut seemed as if a shiver ran over
his body. He was trying to nerve
himself Something desperate had to
be done. He could not stand that
his loved one should be in such mis-
cry. He was suffering almost as much
as she. He had been sitting near her
trying to keep her cries of distress out
of his ears, but of a sudden he arose,
before anyone could judge what he was
doing, took his pistol from his pocket
and gave it to her. 7 cannot do it,
was all he said.
Kiss me, Jack, dear, jack was her
reply.
with almost frenzied passion he
threw his arms about her. She drew
him even closer to her. There was one
long, lingering embrace, a word of
love-and then-then Mrs. Savage was
out of the reach of the pangs and pains
of the world forever"
The colonel paused a moment to col

mot a word was spoken. The train
men stood as if dazed. Then the hus-
band bent down and picked up the still
smoking revolver. It was but the

for his handkerchief. 1t was rather

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters Of congratulation and
commentator testifying to the merits Of
Pe-ru-na as catarrh remedy are pouring
In from every State in the Union. DR..
Hartman is receiving hundreds OF such let
tiers daily. All classes write these letters,
from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is the
catarrh remedy Of the age. The stage and
rOstrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy, are especially enthusiastic In
their praise and testimony
Any man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh Ia
well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent
Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning Of catarrh.
TO prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh out of its victims Pe-ru-na not
only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every
household should be supplied with this great
Femedy for coughs, colds and so forth.

GAME OF BLIND MANS BUFF.
The Sport Is of French Origin and 0
Very High Antiquity.

This favorite sport of childhood and
youth is of French origin and very
high antiquity, having been introduced
into England in the train of the Nor
man conquerors. It's French name
Colin Maillard,'' was that of brave
warrior, the memory of whose exploits
still live in the chronicles of the mid
die ages.
In the year 500 Liege reckoned
among it's valiant chiefs one Jean Co
lin. He acquired the name Maillard
from his chosen weapon being NAL
let, wherewith in fight he used literal
ly to crush his opponents. In one OF
the feuds which were of perpetual re-
currence in those times he encountered
the Count de Lourain in pitched bat
tie, and, SO runs the story, in the first
onset Colin Ma4Alard lost both his eyes.
He ordered his esquire to take him in
to the thickest of the fight, and, furi-
ously brandishing his mallet, did such
fearful execution that victory soon de-
clared itself for him.
When Robert of France heard Oh
these feats of arms he lavished favors
and honors upon Colin, and so great
was the fame of the exploit that it was
commemorated in the pamtomimic rep
reservations that formed part of the
rude dramatic performances of the age.
By degrees the children learned to act
it for themselves, and it took the form
of the familiar sport.
The bIindfolded pursuer, as with
bandaged eyes and extended hands he
gropes for a victim to pounce upon
seems ian some degree to repeat the &C
ton of Colin Maillard, the tradition OF
which is also traceable in the name

Why do you look so downcast?
What did I hear you say?
Nothing to give to people
On Christmas or new years day."

Well, now, just think awhile.
Suppose you look in the glass, dear,
And present yourself with a smile.

And give them away to the past.

Where WORKOUT worries are cast.
Just bundle them onto the old year
And let him lug them away,
And next give a heart Of hope, dear,
To the new year blithe and gay.
And then give praise to the best thing
In the people you meet this year;
You may be surprised at the goodness
You'll find if you look, my dear,
And when you are hurt by the folly
Or faults of the folks you know,
Just toss them bit of your patience
And a word of pity or so.

They Are Reliable.


The American Farmer is sincere in
what it says and whenever it indorses
an article, be it machinery, proprietary
medicine, or a man individually, we
want our readers to believe that what
we say we have good reason to under
stand is true. For year or more
there have been Endorsements of the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company of
1877 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this
paper. People have written us to
know if this company is responsible,
and if it's remarkable remedies, for the
cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep-
STA, catarrh, kidney troubles, etc, real
~ had merit. We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate, and once
again we add emphasis to our former
Endorsement Of that company. There
may be isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect in fol-
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason, the won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But it is a case where the
exception proves the rule. Mr.. Swan
son is a gentleman of character and
personal integrity, and, we believe,
would no more attempt to deceive the
public than the writer of this article.
Send 25c to the Swanson Rheumatic
Cure Company, 1877 Dearborn street,
Chicago, Ill, and they will send you by
return mail trial treatment or a large
bottle, 300 doses, prepaid by mail or ex-
press for $1.OO. No household should

Remember the Shop Girl.


The Consumers League, one Of New
York's unique feminine Bodies, is now
making it's annual appeal to its mem
bers and other women interested in
the work in regard to Christmas shop
ping. 1t points out the Importance OF
accomplishing this as early as. possible,
in order to lessen the pressure on the
store employees, SO badly overWorked
during the holiday season. ut is the
thoughtlessness or selfshness OF
women said the president of the
league, which accomplishes much
harm. Customers of the large stores
have it in their power to influence the
conduct of the business far more than
they realize If, for example, any pur-
chaser will notify the firm with which
she deals that she will refuse to receive
parcels after 6 O'Clock, they will be
sent to her at an earlier hour" AT
any rate, it is said, she has worked out
that reform in her own case, and the
shopmen and shopwomen of the town
fairly worship her.

Though the administration will,
and should, be blamed, during the
coming campaign, for its conduct
of the late war, the main issue Of
the campaign, will be the currency
question, as was the case two years
ago, The vast majority of the
Democrats of the country want to
try the effect of free silver coinage,
and experience has proved that the
bolters acted unwisely when they
prevented them from having that
trial proved in 1896. Under a
Republican form of government
the will of majority should be as
potential in party, as it is in the
whole body of the people.-Alex
