slight mishap to an elderly lady,
who for some reason had visited an I'M
attractive quarter of Chicago, gave two
young men an opportunity to be help
full. The opposite pavement was wet.
and when the woman reached it she
hesitated, made a false step, and fell.
A young man was at her side in an in
stant and bent over her as she lay I'M
conscious. The crowd gathered quick
ly, but when he shouted: STAND
back!" it realized his earnestness and
obeyed. He carried her to neighbor-

"Quicki" he said. The clerk stood be-
hind the counter excitedly twirling his
fingers. Bring me water!" the young
man demanded again. The clerk
gasped: "vat you want, soda water?

ras oLo aockiNo CHAIR.

II stands over there In the corner alone,
Its varnish is cracked and one rocker is
gone:
What's left OF it's tidy is dusty and brown
And scattered and silent its fringes hang
Gown:
No songster appeareth to MARBLE its praise,
When we were but children IT saw its best
days;
And many a face that was rosy and fair
Reposed after play In the old rocking
chair.
How often In It in the winter nights cold
The tales of the fairies by nurses were
told:
How often we listened with kiss-bedewed
To lullaby strains that we hear even now:
Aye, far In the past with its sunshine and
shade
! hear the sweet sounds that the old rock
ers made;
And now as listen willingly share
I he loves of the years with the old rocking
chair
she rests where the roses their love vigils
keep
Who fond.y and tenderly rocked me to
sleep:
But stiIl. when look in the corner. I trace
Within the old rocker a well-cherished
face:
The years that have vanished no more to
return
But deeper the joys of childhood inurn,
And thus doth the past with a halo most
fair
Recrown with its beauty the old rocking
chair.
No longer to music now fast and now slow
Al morning and evening IL moves to and
fro:
No more from its depths where sweet
memories throng
With an angelic touch comes a lullaby
song:
tbs covered with dust, but the dust can
not hide
The prints OF the hands that will ever
abide
Upon the old arms so reposeful and fair,
When memory turns TO the old rocking

CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
Letter From the Executive Office Of Oregon.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti
san, 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 greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abb
solute 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 ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-

IRENE poverty.

years ago from Waterbury, Conn, and

for state highways State Highway
Commissioner James H. Macdonald of
this city appeared and presented to the
committee a clear and concise state
ment of the condition of highway i'm
proVements in the state. In the course
of his talk Mr. Macdonald said that
the state never can have trunk line
system of roads unless assistance in
road building is given to some of the
poorer towns. He said that of the 1853
towns in the state 80 have grand lists
of a million dollars or less, while the
other rs towns have grand lists of more
than million dollars. He was opposed
to a bonding of a state tax for roads,
but thought that the state could spare
from its present income money enough
for highway improvement. He said
that if there was to be inspection of
new state roads, the commissioner
should have the appointment Of inspec-
tors and that unless they We're so APP
pointed he would not accept the respon-
sibility of proper inspection.
