Hon. Thomas C. Fletcher, the noted war Governor of the State of Missouri. is great friend of Pe-ru-na. He writes: The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co.,, Columbus,
 Ohio:
 Gentlemen-For years I have been afflicted with chronic catarrh, which has gone through my whole system. and no one knows the torture and misery I have passed through. My doctor has prescribed various remedies, and Ihave never found any relief until was per suaded by friend to use Dr. Hartman's Pe-ru-na. After the use of one bottle I feet like new man. It also cured me of dropping had in my throat, and br'lt my system up generally. To those wao are suffering with catarrh I take pleasure in recommending your great medicine. Very respectfully,
 Thomas C. Fletcher.
 Everything that affects tn, welfare of the people is legitimate subject of comment to the real statesman. The statesman is not a narrow man. It is the politician who is narrow. The true statesman looks out on the world as it Is. and seeks, as far as is in his power, to remedy evils and encourage the good.
 Catarrh in its various forms is rapid- + becoming a national curse. An un- doubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues and are making pub lie utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is at once the most prevalent and stub born of cure is catarrh.

One Young Man Who Found Out That He Never Would He
 Missed.

"You seemed depressed this evening" said Hamblin, as Flagg, who was generally on pretty good terms with himself. lit his eighth cigarette and then threw it away, after taking two whiffs.
 "Yes, I am," was the reply. "Ihere's no use trying to be anybody in this world"
 "Oh, come, brace up,' Hamblin urged. "What's gone wrongi You ought to be ashamed to let yourself be cast down, after the streak of good luck you've had: Here you are on the sunny side of 30, and firm doing business of sl ,000,0 year has made you it's chief buyer, with a salary that would keep three or four good-sized families in luxury. You've had trip to Europe at the house's expense and you"
 Hold on" Flagg interrupted, "you'v struck the very thing that bothers me. You know Miss Dolliver-that beautiful. stately girl I introduced you to one night in the Burkwells' box?
 ''I called on her last evening. used to call there every week or two, before l start ed across to the other side. Well, more than three months had elapsed since 1 had seen her last. Of course, l concluded that my trip was an apology enough for the fact that I had not called lately, so without any ado began talking about my experiences in Paris. What do you think she said?"
