I wish to testify that have been cured
Of a most severe attack OF rheumatism
which had developed into infiammatory
rheumatism of the most painful kind. 1
had doctored for a long time without re-
lief. and had reached the stage where
morphine or cocaine did not lessen the
pain. I went TO DR.. Petry and got relief
from the first treatment and at the end
OF the tenth treatment was entirely re-
lieved OF pain. I regard NY cure as re-
markable as the doctors could give me
no relief, and my legs below the knees
were swollen out OF shape I had 20 be
lifted about ike a child and could not
move a limb. Ny cure has been COM
plete and permanent. and have suffered
none since being cured. I would advise
anyone suffering from rheumatism not
TO hesitate about going to DR.. Petry. as
my cure has convinced me that no case
is too bad TO be relieved and cured by
his treatment m

THIS LOOKS STRANGE.
One Man a FOUNTAIN of Vital Energy
Which He Transmits to Others.

It looks strange, but there is no deny
ing the fact that nature has made Of
some men a fountain of health to which
others may come and receive the vital
magnetic fluid which drives away disease
and makes them sound. Science does not
explain it and many refuse to believe that
disease can be cured only through the
medium of drugs A great many, even,
who have tried every advertised drug and
nostrum without relief still persist IN
their faith in the drug remedies ana posi-
lively refuse to receive health from any
other source To them it looks incred-
ulous that a man, plain cluzen OF
Wichita. should be able to cure almost
anv ailment without prescribing single
dose of medicine and by using only the
vital magnetic force which nature has
stored in him
Every person has some of this vital
magnetic force. but not in a degree SUI
ficient to transmit it to others to heal
disease. DR.. F. w. Petry, whose fame
has spread over Kansas and 70 other
states, has this power to a phenomenal
degree. and instead of diminishing by
use 1t has increased.
Four years ago he commenced the pub
lie practice Of magnetic healing and has
continued in the same location and with
increased success ever since. He is not
transient fake wonder worker who comes
into the town for a day or week and
disappears to parts unknown, having
done no good and perhaps much harm.
DR. Petry lives here in his own residence
and depends on the good Will of those he
has cured TO bring him other patients.
Every patient that has taken his treat
ment is a living advertisement, and by
their voluntary testimonials direct others
10 where they may get their ailments
cured. From among scores OF testimon-
ials the following few are selected as
samples:

To the Sick and Afiicted-For the bene-
fit Of the suffering, I give this testi-
monial. Ny daughter had St vitas'

all the best doctors-specialists on nerv-

disgust, till one day that I went to see a.
neishbor, Mrs. Patterson. about Mr.
Perry. Having heard OF his many won
derful cures, and knowing that he had
cured Mrs. Parkerson of hip disease. I
was ready to take her advice-which was
to take my daughter to him. When I
took her to Mr.. Petry for treatment, he
said 1t might take a year to cure her
possibly less. 1 treated with him. and
now, instead of a years treatment, It is
only three months. and she is cured

Donald Got Ii.

In small village on the west coast
Of Scotland there was a natural called
Donald, who did odd jobs, especially
about the hotel. One afternoon three
gentlemen were standing in front Of
the hotel, and along with them a small
terrier, when Donald happened to pass.
Wishing to have joke at his expense,
one of them, taking out half crown,
said:
IF you get this you may keep It,"
Then, calling to the dog to fetch" he
flung it away. The dog got 1t first; but
Donald, not to be done out of his half
crown, picked up a stone, and calling
the dogs attention flung it a piece
away. The dog Immediately dropped
the half-crown and tore after the stone,
when Donald quietly lifted and pocket
ed the coin.

NEW RAILROADS UNDER WAY.
Estimated that 5000 Miles Will Be
Constructed This Year.


According to the Railway Age, the
present year is likely to see a great re-
viyal of railroad building. 1t esti-
mates that 5000 miles will be added
to the mileage of the United States,
which would be a greater record than
that of any year since 1890. ~s
According to the Railway Age, the
building of 5000 miles of railroad
means the investment of about $780,
100000, and the permanent employ
ment of $4,000 men. Tables show that
there are 800 new lines projected or un-
der construction, with total length OF
40,563 miles. OF these lines less than
$500 miles of railroad is in the New
England or Middle States. Iii the
Southwestern States there are 10 new
roads under way. with length OF H.
211 miles. The South Atlantic. Gulf,
and Mississippi Valley States have an
equal mileage of new roads In pros
pect the Central Northern and North.
western States have nearly 1900 miles
projected, and more than 1000 miles of
railroad are to be built in the Pacific
States.
The 1000 miles of new track to be
built this year consists largely of ex.
tensions and links for the large West
arn systems. With these additions the
railroads in operation in the United
States will be in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 miles long, Of total value OF
about So, 500,000,O00, and employing a
million men in their operation.

The girl blushed little at the uncong-

she argued,
Yes, | know" he returned, "but no

INDUCED in to any great extent, spoils

feet look better In low, fancy shoes,
and still others because they are con-
yenient. The fact Of the matter is,
slippers are not a bit more conducive
to ease than high shoes If the latter are
selected judiciously. Indeed, they are
less comfortable in the long run, for
the woman who Is addicted to slippers
is bound to have swollen feet good
part of the time, and when she finds it
necessary to wear high shoes the in

The Snider.

The spider has Il tremendous appe-
tite and his gormandizing defies all hu-
man competition. A scientist who
carefully noted a spiders consumption
of food in twenty-four hours concluded
that If the spider were built proportion
ately to the human scale he would eat
at daybreak approximately a small
alligator, by a. IN. a lamb, by o
a. IN. a young camelopard, by o'clock
a sheep, and would finish up with a
lark pie In which there were 120 birds.
Yet in spite Of his enormous appetite
a spider has wonderful power Of re-
framing from food, and one has been
known to live ten months when abso-
lutely deprived of food. A beetle lived
in similar state of unrefreshment for
three years.

An editorial commentator In London,
in reviewing the recent Vanderbilt
Fair wedding in New York, puts forth
the following reflections: The we'd
ding presents are said to be worth
100000 and the description of them
reads as one lady irreverently said
like a chapter in Revelation, all big
pearls and gold. The incident would
not be worth mention but for three
facts of some social Importance. One
is that the plutocracy in America ex-
cites at least as much attention as the
aristocracy in Europe; another is that
plutocracy thinks it advisable to adver-
tise its splendOr; and the third is that
the democracy, instead of envying this
wealth, evidently enjoys the profusion
It produces as a sort of highly colored
picture that breaks the deadly monot-
ony of the scene around. The wedding
is a masque with a continent for spec
tators."

The malaria microbe, as we'll as many
other disease germs, is an animal, en-
dowed with probably all the attributes
of higher brute life. To Nature mere
size is nothing. A microbe therefore
may be, for all we poor clumsy beings
we ourselves are. Now the question is,
should not the Society for the Proven
ton Of Cruelty to Animals, the anti
vivisectionists, etc, pounce on the men
who are using these poor little microbes
80 roughly? We are all microbes.

Annoying Royalty.

Prominence brings with it all kinds
of trouble, the biggest of which is the
annoyance from cranks. During Vic
torla's long reign she has been pursued
by these Missionaries. The most noted
crank who ever bothered England'S
Queen was a man, or boy, named
Jones. He stuck at nothing to find out
as much as possible about her Majesty.
He was always appearing in the most
unexpected places, and managed to
slip into the palace times without num-
Der. Once he was discovered under the
table in a sitting-room, and ignomini-
ously elected. -Four times was he
taken to jail before he disappeared for
good.

Some Of our foremost educators are
in favor of saving time by shortening
the spelling of certain words. The idea
Is not new, and many newspapers have
long been accustomed to shorten such
words as programme" into program"
and prologue" into ''prolog." Recent
" Superintendent Andrews has recon-
mended to teachers in the public
schools of Chicago the following list of
words for amended spelling: Program
(programme) tho (though), thOro (thor-
ough), thOrOfare Thoroughbred, thru
Through. turnout (throughout, ca TIA
log (catalogue), prolog (prolOgue), deca-
log (decalogue), demagog (demagogue),
pedagog (pedagogue). OF course this
list is simply a starter in the pathway
of reform. Just where the matter will
end it is difficult to say. John Billings
was a pioneer in this line of endeavor,
and his "fonetic" spelling, which used
% cause great amusement, and which
was the foundation of his fame as a
humorist, may become the scientific
method of the future. Billings tried to
prove that he could be funny without
'fonetics," and wrote a lot of humOr-
GUS paragraphs for the old Scribner's
Magazine, entitled Uncle Eseck's Wis
dome" but they failed to make a hit,
and Billings experiment was a failure.
No doubt the present spelling of many
words is cumbersome, but reformers
will find their task little short of the
imnosSible.
