Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Peruna is the only abso- lute safeguard known. A cold is the be- ginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of it's victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh, but prevents it.

SIDNEY AND THE JAR FAIRY.
Story of School Books Cheerful Grandmother and a
Good, But Stupid Little Boy


Sydney Puffer was the stupidest boy
in the Malburn school. Now, some boys
are stupid and don't know it. If you
were to be led by their opinion of them
selves you would say they Were any
thing but stupid, but Sgd knew he
was stupid and wished every day
that he could become less so. 1t is not
the custom at the Malburn school for
the boys to have any home studies.
All their studying Is done in. the class
room, but sgd. was so anxious to learn
that he would take his geography and
his speller home and would study and
study until he fell asleep over the
books.
And next day in class Miss Greene
would say: Sydney, spell few. :,
Flew" Sydney would say. Wrong.
Spell 'eXasperate.' I-g-s-p-a-r-a-i-t, >
Sydney would spell slowly and pains
taking, and, then, like as mot, Bob
Addoms, who had not looked at his
lesson, would spell both words as glibly
as could be and poor Sydney would
feel utterly dishearten6d.
Then would come the geography les

would continue. She really seemed to
take pleasure in leading Sydney on.
"Is it in Ireland?" he would ask
doubtfully.
''No. it isn't. What are its chief

Products would start Sgd. off:
s"Tar. pitch, turpentine and lumber" he
would say with unusual speed, and
amid the laughter of the class he would
sit down and Bob would get up and
bound France and tell her chief pro
ducts and something about her form OF
government, and yet he had only dipped
into his geography between classes.
But it was in reading that Sydney
Jared worst. He could not read the
simplest words without stumbling along.
Once Miss Greene gave him this verse
from Longfellow:

When through AN Alpine village passed

And the scholars rose to their feet and
gave three cheers for Sydney, quite I'M

Now, if you go to the exposition next
spring you ask them to show you sgd

1t was drawn under fairy influence, and
it may have been withdrawn under the
same influence.
But this l do know. Sydney Puffer is
now the brightest scholar in Malburn
school Miss Greene says it is awakened
ambition, his grandmother says it is his
heritage from his father and Sydney says
it is the fairy.
