Pe-ru-na works harmoniously with

lungs, and works SO successfully that
IL there Is cure for consumption
Pe-ru-na is the remedy.

Pe-yn-na Medieine Co.. CoInm6Hs.O.
DEAR SIRs:-"My daughter had every
symptom of acknowledgements
Of menses, night sweats and great ema-
citation. She was so low that none of
our neighbors thought she could live.
In May Mr.. c. r. Adams, of this place,
who had taken Pe-ru-na, told me If
anything would help her Pe-ru-na
would. / got a bottle of it and some
rock candy and began giving it to her.
During the first few days she was SO
weak she could only take a half tea
spoonful at time, but l gave 1t to
her as often as she could bear it. In
less than a week she could walk two
hundred yards and back without rest

twelve months she seemed to be as well
as she ever was in her life. feel, and so
does every one that knew about her
sickness, that Pe-ru-na saved her life.

WHY PRICES ARE FIRM.
Reason for Steady Price Of Overshoes ana
Rubbers.

"There are lots Of instances Of cuts
in the prices OF Shoes observed
shoe dealer to a Star reporter, land
Judging from the advertisements,
there are more shoes sold at marked
down than at regular prices, but IL
will be noticed that there are never
any cuts or marked-down attach
ments In connection with rubber
shoes. The reason for this is there is
no competition In the rubber shoe
trade. While there are many hundred
concerns which manufacture shoes in
all sections OF the country, all the rub
bers sold in the United States are
made by just fourteen establishments,
which are organized into a trust, thus
regulating the amount OF stock that Is
to be made, and each concern gets its
allotted share Of the business. 1t Is
easily seen, therefore. why there are
no marked-down prices. There can
be no mark-downs unless a dealer de-
sires to make them at his own loss,
which is not likely, natural, or reason
able, because he can not replenish his
stock except by paying the combina-
ton prices. Some years ago there was
as much competition almost In the
rubber shoe trade as in the leather
shoe trade, and when a dealer man
aged to get big stock at low prices,
he, in turn, could afford to sell accord
ingly. But the manufacturers stopped
all this by going into a combination in
which each Of the concerns interested
is allowed to make just so much goods
In each year, and all charge the same
price for the same character Of goods.
In other words, there is an end to
competition and the consequent mark
ed-down or cut prices as far as rubber
shoes are concerned. This combina-
ton of interests Is to be run to the
end Of the year 1900 and the indica
tions are ii will be renewed, for the
experience has been that II has paid
handsomely, whereas, competition
proved to he for several years rather
disastrous TO all concerned except the
consumer. But, as In almost every
thing else rubber shoe manufacturers
are not run for the benefit Of cousum-
ers."-Washington Star.

he would also know that neither time nor
wisdom can make them feel the affection
belonging to brotherhood. If not altogeths
err dead within them. it is sorely wounded:
and time. instead OF healing, is likely to
make the wound worse. For the sting
that struck them has not yet spent all its
poison.
Never more than on that same winters
morn when he saw his sons start out for
their shooting. had General Harding felt
sadder, rejecting on this theme. He had
even a presentimenet that ere long some
thing would arise to cause dissention be-
tweet them, far beyond the Uifiing dis
plays of temper hitherto observed. so pos
sessed was he of it that all day long he
had been disquieted: and now. as the sun
begins 10 go down, several times he for
sakes his snug seat by the warm wood
fire. steps out on the porch, and stands
with eyes turned anxiously towards the
preserves, as If he expected to sight some
danger in that direction.
No one can say that forebodings of this
kind are all fancies Too many of them
prove real and true. And so 1t is with
those harassing the spirit of the old sol
der Too certain is ne of this on seeing
his son Henry walk up TO the house, with
bleeding hand, and blood over his shirt
and shooting coat.
The tale, as truthfully told by his young
er son. is sad enough. and fills him with
sorrow and anger He is not comforted,
nor his wrath allayed. on hearing another
version of it from the elder.
On the contrary, 1t but adds to his an
guish, as Nigel. soon after stepping on the
ground with blackened eye and rueful
countenance, makes his report-in many
important particulars differing from that
already delivered by his brother. One or
the other must be speaking untruth. With
this narrowing conviction, their father
scarce dares himself to inquire which is
the culprit though for his statement Nj
gel eagerly asks confirmation from the
keeper, who as eagerly gives 1t. But plaus-
ible as is the story of the conspirators, ii
fails to produce the effect they had fondly
hoped for and confidently expected.
The scene ensuing is painful to all. but
disastrous to Doggy Dick, who. upon the
spot there and then. is dismantled of his
keepers trappings. and dismissed from
General Harding's service, with a stern
admonition never again to show himself
within the boundary of the Beechwoods
covers, on pain of being prosecuted as a
poacher.

Beautiful Lines Came From the Pen OF
Rev. III. ID. l.. Webster-Ltved in Zanes-
willie and for Some Years Was Pastor of
the UniversaIisr Church
GAINESVILLE has had many citizens
whose memory is held sacred, and
among the number is Rev. II. d. l..
Webster, who spent many years of his
eventful life amidst the quiet environ
ments of beautiful Putnam.
Born in New York State in 1922, he
entered the ministry of the Universal
list church at the age of %.
His first regular settlement was in
GAINESVILLE. From there he went TO
Ravenna, Ohio, and from that place to
Warren, Mass, where he married an
excellent woman, by whom he had four
children. Two of them, Ella and
Horace Beebe Webster, still survive
In 1856 he settled in Elkhorn, Wis,
where he studied medicine. For years
he followed this profession and occa-
sionally preached. He afterwards
studied law, but never engaged in this
practice Later he had pastorates in
Cleveland, Erie, Pa, and other places.
|, His first wife died in 1866. After
wards he married an accomplished wo-
man who, with one child. is now liv-
ing in Cleveland.
For several years his health had been
falling. and much OF his latter life was
spent in Florida Mr.. Webster conun-
ued in the ministry until his death in
November, 1894.
He was a man OF good ability and
strict integrity. and leaves a memory
fragrant with good words and worthy
deeds. He was a fine reader and a
lover OF poetry and music. The poem
"Lorena' has given him his widest
reputation. II grew out Of his expert
ence while pastor at Evansville. In the
choir OF the church. as the leading
singer. was beautiful girl Of nineteen
years. a sister-in-law OF Henry Blandy,
the noted manufacturer of portable
steam engines. The girl was not only
a fine singer, but lover OF poetry and
romance. She and the young pastor
were naturally attracted to each other
But they met with insuperable obsta-
cles. For a home, the girl was depend

spirited woman prevailed. and her sis
ter and the young pastor were forced
to abandon all thought of marriage.
After their brief farewell meeting.
she wrote Mr.. Webster letter in which
she used the words: IF we try, We may

But memory was not so easily ST.
fenced. The effect OF separation was
hard on both. Although he tried TO
keep up courage and be cheerful. many
detected an undercurrent of sadness.
Readers Of "Lorena" will observe
this.
The poem was written about 1858.
and set to music composed by j. B.
Webster, but no relative of the poets.
"Lorena" is fictitious name. This
girls real name was Ella, and she
afterward married a judge and for
many years resided at Preston, on the
Ohio river.
Lorena" was for many years one OF
the most popular of songs. 1t was sung
everywhere in public and private.
During the war it was immensely
popular in both the union and confed-
crate armies, and it is said that il was
the only song sung in the Southern
homes. 1t has been very frequently
sung in GAINESVILLE, and many viii be
