A Noted Knight Temp|ar
Owes His Health to Peruna

UWtS Ills
Colonel T. P. Moody. prominent
Knight Templar, is we'll known in
every city in the United States west Of
Buffalo, N. Y, as a jewelers. Auc-
tioneer In the city Of Chicago Is q
prominent lodge man, being mem
ber of the X. It's and also Of the
Nasons. The cut shows Colonel
Moody in the costume Of the Oriental
Consistory Masons, 32d degree.
In a recent letter from 5000 Mich
gan avenue, Chicago. ILL.,. Mr.. Moody
says the following:
"For over twenty-five years !
suffered from catarrh, and for
over ten years suffered from
cstarrh of the stomach terribly.
"Ihave taken all kinds ofmsdi-
cines and have been treated by
az kinds of doctors, as thousands
of my acquaintances arc aware
In different parts of the United
STATES, where Ihave Travelled, but
the relief was only temporary,
until a little over year ago !
started to take PeruDa, and at the
present time I am better than 1
have been for twenty years
"The soreness has left my sfom-
ach entirely and am free from
INDIGESTION and dyspepsia and will
say to all who are troubled with
catarrh or stomach trouble of any
kind, don't put 1t off and suffer,
but begin to take Peruna right
away, and keep it up until you
are cured, as you surely will be If
you persevere.
my wife, as many in the southwest
can say, was troubled with bad cough
and bronchial trouble, and doctors all
over the country gave her up to die,
as they could do nothing more for her.
She began taking Peruna with the re-
suit that she is better now than she
has been In years, and her cough has
almost left, her entirely. The soreness
has left her lungs and she is as we'll
as she ever was IN her lie. with
thanks. as she says, to Peruna. Yours
very truly, 7. P. Moody
Catarrh in It's various forms Is rap
idly becoming a general curse. An
undoubted remedy has been dtscov-
cred 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

Tho Indian Train wreckers.

The Silver State says that Edward

the Indian boys accused OF throw.
ing the switch last Friday night
which resulted in tho wreck of freight
train No. 90, and the death of Brake
man Jones, have been taken to the
Indian school at Carson. While they
are accountable under the law, the
Silver State thinks it would be i'm.
possible to convince a jury that the
boys we're accountable to the extent
OF making them guilty Of tram wreck
ing. Sending them to tho Indian
school will be in the nature OF pun.

the fact that the school is named

does not recall half a dozen women who
go to teas who never talk and who just
stand around to be amused to the despair
of the little group who are trying to make
things Jolly, and to the utter undoing of
the hostess, who is usually nervously con-
cerned in seeing that her friends are en-
joying each other and themselves.
There Is a class of women who go to teas
and days at homes who should be nut on
the list Of social offenders and snobs of the
worst sort-those who only go to see their
hostess and wish to meet no one whom
they do not know, and those who through
prosperity. adversely or narrowness of
mind have no subjects of conversation
which can be launched at a general gath
ering. l met one who combined both at
tributes the other day She did not want TO
talk to every one she met for fear they
might become her friends and insist upon
being put on her calling list. She happened
to have a good social position. And when
she did talk she wished to discuss subjects
which We're In keeping with that position
Inc only topic which seemed of interest to
her that afternoon was the desrabiity of
making calls in street car instead Of in a
carriage. OF course, she found il more un-
comfortable but one could accomplish SO
much more. Now. in New York people who
own carriages are very wealthy indeed so
an audience of women who could be deep
ly interested in that particular subject
would be hard to find: but she discussed IL
gravely and eXhaustively during the whole
of her fifteen-minute stay at a tea where
snap was needed at the particular time she
chose to launch forth.
All to All Attitude.
A cosmopolitan attitude at a tea is really
more necessary than at dinner, for at the
latter the hostess can come to the rescue.
but at tea there are many people at the
mercy Of woman who draws her skirts
aside. is most stiff to people who happen
TO be introduced to her, and who looks
colby at any one whose antecedents she
does not know.
To sum 1t all up, the successful hostess
must be Argus-eyed; her assistants must be
earnest in their desire to see that every one
has some of the cakes and ale provided and
those who attend must do so with the firm
intention Of being bright, pleasant and en-
PERTAINING for the sake of the hostess, even
If in so doing they sacrifice some of their
own fnclinatfons. For though the most
used form of entertainment the tea pos
sesses in 1t elements of greatness and sue
cess for those who give 1t and those who
attend IL only it Is remembered that IL has
Its own place in the social world Just as
surely as has a dinner or dance and that
at it the same solemn obligation of mo-
blesse oblige' holds good

Novelties I'm f..

The pure white Handkerchief is no longer
a requisite Of good form All the French
handkerchiefs show some color, either in
the border. the monogram or the floral de-
sign.
Instead of hemstitched border some of
the handkerchiefs are finished around the
edge with a vine Of raised embroidered
flowers. These are extremely pretty work
ed in purple violets. yellow buttercups or
blue forget-me-nots. Others have a hand
embroidered flower IN the corner, with the
steam and leaves stamped in color instead
of being embroidered. Then there are hand
kerchiefs among the novelties with narrow
colored borders and bowknots, fieurs -de-lis
or butterflies embroidered in each corner
matching the border In color. The coiors
chosen for these handkerchiefs are gener-
ally light shades. but there are not few
this season with bright plaid borders.
Among the more expensive handkerchiefs
are those of sheer linen appliqued with
transparent lace designs. An effective and
novel idea is to sew the lace design to the
handkerchief with fine. light-colored silk.
The linen must be cut away beneath the
design, so that the lace will be transparent.

1t Is so difficult to judge by appearances

remedies. She hadn't quite reached the
stage where 1t seemed as If a medical man

such attacks before But presently her
pain increased, and her husband, who had
delayed his departure for business, decided
that she must have some brandy at once.
SO he seized his hat and hurried down the
street.
The nearest place where liquor could be

didn't hesitate a moment over petty scru-
pies. but hustled into the place
When he came out a few moments later
II chanced that two women who knew him

them came man who also knew him.
The anxious husband hurried home with
