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

Pe-ru-na 3 known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
tion and commendation testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem
edy are poering 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-

II hope they will get to their car
riage without hearing the news" he
grunted. He led LamPlcin outside, and
they stood together near the ladies'
entrance till he saw the coachman in
the Huntington livery rein in his horses
near the awning. A moment later Mrs.
Winfret emerged in her flowing wraps,
accompanied by her statuesque niece.
AS soon as their carriage had rolled
away Hendricks bounded across the
sidewalk to an open hanson.
Follow that carriage" he said,
brusquely, to the driver, and he jumped
into the cab and was followed by the
doctor.
"All right, sir" said the driver,
through the hole in the roof.
AS they bowled away Hendricks
looked up at the windows of Caruthers'
rooms.
"Jamb full of sightseersi" he
sneered. Sergeant Denham is in his
element. He is posing to that gang
and gloating over his Importance. If
Captain McRae could see him now he
wouldn't hold his job an hour"
The Huntington residence was on
Fifth avenue, not half mile from
the hotel, and it required only few
minutes for the ladies to reach home.
AS Hendricks and his companion
alighted, and were paying their fare,
they saw the white-clad figures mount
Ing the brown-stone steps to the cut
glass doors. A great stream of light
flashed across the street as they were
admitted. Mrs. Winfret went in last,
and Hendricks saw her glance back at
them nervously.
We'll give 'em minute to collect
themselves" he said. "The old lady is
very suspicious, but the young one is
brick, and by far the most beautiful
creature that ever wore shoe-leather.
Why, hang me if ever dreamt such
being existed! When she turned that
majestic Gibson head and neck, as I
began to introduce myself, wanted
the earth to swallow me up. I felt So
so inadequate"
Lampkin laughed. 81 have never
heard you express yourself like this"
he said. II had no idea you had even
the germs of admiration for woman
kind in your makeup"
Hendricks seemed to be somewhat
ashamed of his outburst.
"The lights have flashed up in the
drawing-room on the right" he said,
all business again. "Here goes"

Emperor williams Grandfather Was
Possessed of Good HumOr and
Humility.

To enjoy a joke at ones own ex-
pense requires q strong sense Of hu-
NOR and a little inherent humility.
There is story told of the first kaiser,
King William of Prussia, the grand
father of the present monarch, which
proves that he was not devoid of either
quality.
At the time when Mr.. G. r. Sims was
student at Bonn, he and his fellow
students had little club at one of
the hotels. The room where that club
met was one day the scene of an anus
ing incident. The king was stopping
at the inn, and as luck would have it,
he made his way to the English club
room.
The innkeeper saw which way he
was going, and grew desperate, for
did he not know what lay on the table
in that room?
Etiquette was cast to the winds, and
the proprietor made reckless dash
past his majesty, rushed into the club
room and seized a periodical from the
table.
The king lifted his eyebrows in sur
prise. Why had the innkeeper thus
rudely passed him, and why had the
paper been removed? He desired to
understand the mystery, and accord
ingly asked for information.
1T is the English Punch, your majes-
ty, and there is in it, believe, pic-
ture that your majesty would not
care to see," faltered the unhappy inn.
keeper.
"Give it to me-" commanded the
king.
The trembling hotel keeper obeyed,
and then stood before his sovereign
with downcast eyes. The old king
looked at the Punch cartoon, and
though it was a none too friendly
caricature of himself, he smiled.
"My good man." he said, quietly, Il
am sorry you thought should be an
noyed by such trihe. Put the paper
back on the table, give my compli-
ments to the English gentlemen, and
tell them that have seen the cartoon
and that I think it is excellently
drawn."-Youth's Companion.

NSattlR IT,

Squire Masters, of Petersburg, ILL.,,
an old friend of Lincoln, recently told
a new anecdote of the great president,
one which shows how he practiced
low: At one time before the civil war
Squire Masters was threatened with a
lawsuit. He went to Springfield, where
Lincoln was located, and had talk
with him about the case. Lincoln told
him that if he could not settle the case
he would undertake the defense, but
he urged his friend to make an ami
cable adjustment. "What'll you charge,
Abe, to go into court for me?" said Mr..
Masters. "Well," was Lincoln's reply,
"it will cost you ten dollars, but won't
charge you anything if you can settle
it between yourselves" The other
party heard of the squire's visit to
Lincoln, and agreed to settle.-Youth's
Companion.

ment."
When they had quilted the drawing
room, Hendricks resumed his seat, and
looked steadily at the doctor.

in existence who would be likely to want
Caruthers to send in his checks, as it
were, especially as they had row just
prior to the committal of the deed"
"It certainly does look shaky for
Gielow," admitted Lampkin.
"My one hope" said Hendricks, sis
that Gielow does not needle-point his
finger-nails. Few artists have time for
such feminine rubbish"
"But Gielow is not regular Bo-
hemian," rejoined Lampkin. "He is
most particular about his dress and is
thoroughly conventional = a strict
