SIX MEN IN LOVE.


Yes,people can come close to each other

it seemed 80 dreadfully pathetic. Poor little
thing! II she could only care for some one
else! But then she couldn't, he knew. He
was worried, in lofty, condescending kind
Of way. He hated to think that he must
wreck life on the shore of love-bnt then
he could not care for her-for, well, she
cared too much for him, you know.
Before the end of the month was up
to the ears in confidence! Six unfortunate
fellows, neither of whom knew the other,
were beloved by six unfortunate girls-with
all Of the love emanating from the female
side.

Marjorie! you don't mean that you are

these six men"

Why, they can't be touched compared to

them that possibly might not mean it!
Oh, yes, I'm an object Of pity, all right.

Hon. Myron 81. McCord, Ex-Governor
of New Mexico, in q letter to DR.. Hart
man. from Washington, D. c.; says:
Gentlemen-At the suggestion Of a
friend / was advised to use Pe-ru-na for
catarrh, and after using one bottle be-
gan to feel better in every way. 1t
helped me in many respects. l was
troubled with colds, coughs, sore
throat, etc., but as soon as had taken
your medicine I began to improve and
soon got well. take pleasure in recon-
mending your great remedy to all who
are afflicted with catarrh.-M. II. Nc
Cord.
Thousands of cases of chronic catarrh
have been cured by Pe-ru-na during the
past winter. In spite of changeable
weather. in spite of the natural set
backs from catching cold, and confine-
ment to illy-ventilated rooms. the great
.catarrh remedy-Pe-ru-na-has effect
ed these cures. But now spring is here.
The days are longer. the sun is warmer.
and the blizzard is gone for another
year. This presents a much more favor
able opportunity for the permanent
cure of chronic catarrh, especially old,
stubborn cases. Now is the time to be-
gin treatment. Other things being
equal, one months treatment in the
spring is worth two months treat
ment during the Indictment weather of
winter. Insist upon having Pe-ru-na.
There are NO successful substitutes for
this remedy. Send to DR.. Hartman, Co
lumbus, Ohio, for free catarrh book.

The mixed metaphor Of South side Sun
day school teacher and the precociousness of
. youngster of seven in the juvenile class,
who had evidently been listening to some
fatherly club stories not intended for his
ears, combined to disrupt the Bible serv-
ices temporarily . couple Of weeks ago. Re.
Gently the good pastor of the church received
. call to another congregation, and in re-
ferring to this the young woman who sees
to the spiritual growth of the youngest
charges Of the church dwelt at some length
on the Righteousness, faith and upright life
of the pastor who had been SO highly hon.
ored. She impressed her young hearers with
the "faithfulness to duty" that had char
acterized the career of the beloved minister,
and was listened to with devout and deep
attention. Believing this lesson had ef-
fectively penetrated the young minds the
teacher asked:
"And now who can tell me the one thing
that our pastor held 20 dear that he should
receive this callY

PROJECT OF A CHICAGO GIRL
She Will Open = Home in Paris for
American Women Study
ing There.

Miss Helen Cole, a Chicago woman,
has started for Paris on peculiar mis-
sion. She will open in the French me-
tropolis pension for American girls,
and especially those from Chicago. The
establishment will be located near the
Champs Elysee. instead of far out to-
ward the suburbs, as are most of the
houses possible to the purses and rock-
etbooks of the average American girl
student across the water, and various
small but carefully-arranged details
will aid in making matters simple and
the path of studentship easy Tor the
Chicago girl who heads for Paris. The
element of personal care and chaper-
onage, which is by no means the princi-
pal or most important feature of the
establishment, will aid not little in
this respect. and the simplifying of lin
guistic difficulties for the girl who
speaks no language but her mother
tongue will also save more than little
anxiety and distress.
The fact that no American woman
has before thought Of opening pen.
sion for American girls in Paris is
rather remarkable butsuch is the case.
The American Art Students club, OF
rather recent origin in itself, isthe only
connecting link between America and
Chicago for the girl student of art.
language, literature and music in the
heaven or Americans" 1t remained
for Chicago woman to undertake the
project of establishing home for
American young women in that far

rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also q

That's the place. He has a neighbor on

Blanks back yard, tramping the lawn to
pieces, breaking the shrubbery and using

not deface the property would keep her out,
and Blank decided that something must b.

of the cow, told him that she had become an
intolerable nuisance and that he would glad
" give $50 to have her disposed of. The Of

paid. A morning or two later the COW was
in the yard again, destroying things just as
of old. Blank hunted up his neighbor and
said: I thought you promised me to get rid
