Senator Restored to Health
Peruna as Nerve and Catarrh Tonic
the Talk of the World.

Gin these days of all Kinds OF medicine
it is o comfort TO know of remedy
which may be used with unquestioned
beneficial results. gladly recommend
Peruna as a safe, reliable remedy in
cases of catarrh OF the stomach, helpful
in bailding up the system worn out with
ovcrwork or age.
'Several of my friends who have used
Peruna have spoken Of It in the highest
terms, and congratulate you on its
merits"
Mrs. w. L. Grissom, Henry, Ellis Co.
Texas, writes:
81 took Peruna faithfully over two
months, and the result is thoroughly
renovated system and strong, buoyant
feeling, to say nothing of cure Of the
chronic catarrh. Therefore 1 shall avail
myself of every opportunity to speak of
Peruna as a catarrh cure"
Mr.. Harry M. Stevens, Midland Beach,
L. l., New York, proprietor Of "The
Richmond" Hotel, says of Peruna;
at gives me pleasure TO testify TO the
value Of Peruna. Ihave used IL for years
and have found it to be a most excellent
family remedy. For colds, catarrh and
similar ills, it is unsurpassed" Cor
daily and gratefully,
II. M. Stevens.
Catarrh is systemic disease, curable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does. Ferunaim immediately
| invigoratea the nerYe-centers which
give vitality to the mucous membranes.
Then catarrh disappears. Then catarrh
is permanently cured.
Ferune cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. Peruna is not guess nor an ex-
periment-it is an absolute scientific
certainty. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.
A free book written by DR..
Hartman, on fhe subject of ca
tarrh in its different phases and
stages, will be sent by The Peruna
Medicine Company, Columbus,
! Ohio, upon request.

FearSOrne
Sentinel of
The PriCon
Of Dry
TortuSaC
GUARDED
BY A
HUGE
SHARK

The fortress of Dry Tortugas, one of
the largest in the world, is built of
brick and completely encircles the key
of 13 acres, the moat surrounding it be-
ing half mile in length. Here during
1864 were massed together many
hundreds of prisoners of all grades.
Escape was impossible, yet there
were constant attempts to reach yes
sells in the harbor or to steal boats
with which to go to Cuba. In all these
efforts at escape the prisoner was
obliged to lower himself from port
hole into the ditch or moat, which was
so feet wide, 10 feet deep and half a
mile long, swim to the tide gate and
haul himself over, then reaching open
water. The drop into the moat was so
fatal, being virtually trap, that many
schemes were suggested to stop the at
tempts. Sentries were redoubleG, but
all to no purpose, and finally 1t was
suggested to utilize novel scheme fol
soaring the prisoners.
Finally a shark was captured and
placed in the canal. For few mo-
ments after the hook was cut out the
shark was quiet; then it made a rush
I'D the moat, followed by the eyes of
the prisoners at the portfolios and
ramparts. Finally it assumed regu-
lar and deliberate pace, which it kept
up continually, night and day, swim
ming along the edge of the walk, with
it's body turned slightly upward, one
black expressionless eye out of water.
The shark was monster, IS feet in
length and of enormous girth-a sand
shark, but not a dangerous kind,
though it was supposed by the pris-
oners to be man eater of a very
vicious type. 1t was Immediately

dubbed the provost marshal by the
prisoners, and it is needless to say
that not one essayed to swim the moat
while 1t was on duty.
That there are not man eaters and
that men are not devoured by them
in other parts of the gulf should not
be understood. In Panama man
doubtless takes his life in his hands
in swimming in open water, and many
have paid for their temerity. A friend
of the writer stated that he saw a
sailor seized by a shark off the rock of
Gibraltar. The men were swimming
about the ship when the warning cry
of Shark was heard One of the
sailors had gone some distance and
was making for the ship when the boat
was lowered
The men rowed toward him with all
speed, but just as they reached near
him the observer, who stood in the
bow, harpoon in hand, said the largest
shark he had ever seen seized the vic
tim and literally bit him in two.

which ward off the northerly blasts are
known to be infested with outlaws and

DOG SAVED THE TRAIN.
Displayed Intelligence Almost HU-
man at Il Critical Moment

Displayed Intelligence Almost HU-
man at IL Critical Moment.
The intelligence displayed by a dog
in Colorado recently almost passes hui
man belief. but there are plenty of
persons to vouch for the story and to
attest that he is the most wonderful
dog in the world.
Mig lives at Fork Greek, Colo, a lone
~ little station on the Colorado and
Southern railway. His master is G. N.
Davis, the station master. whose life in
the heart of the Rockies would be in
deed lonely one were it not for the
companionship of Mig. Nor is it case
of the blood that tells, for Mig is only a
black and white dog of mixed spaniel,
setter and other descent. He has been
q railroader ever since his birth four
years ago
Eight trains daily pass the station.
and Mig soon became interested in the
work of his master He soon came to
know the signals for the different
tracks and noted that his master threw
the switch in answer. One day when
the signal was given he ran to the
switch and tried to open it. At first he
had some difficulty. but after three
tries he learned to lift it out of the Slot
with his nose and push it around with
his paws. This soon became a regular
trick.
Then he adopted new idea. He had
observed one day when the trackmen
were at work below the switch that the
agent went out and stopped the trains
with a flag. The next day when the
signals were heard he made no effort
to throw the switch, but grabbed the
flag in his teeth and ran up the track
with the signal waving in his mouth.
Mig stood upon the track and refused
to move until the train was stopped
One day there was a hitch. There
had been a light fall of snow during
the night, and the snow was packed
and hard between the rails when the
first engine came along. Mig heard the
whistle and tried to respond. He push
ed the handle of the switch stand out
of it's socket, but could not throw the
rails. They were frozen solidly to the
ground. Mig barked two or three times
in sort of canine disgust, but still
could not throw the switch. Then he
suddenly remembered the flag. and
with bound he had it in his teeth, and
up the track he went.
AS soon as the agent saw Mig run
ming up the track with the flag in his
mouth he decided that something was
wrong. so he went out and tried to
throw the switch. but the ice held too
firmly even for him. Down the track
came the rumble of the train, and he
tugged and pulled at the handle with
all his might. but it would not move.
He gave up in despair, and then turned
to help the dog signal the train. but
that intelligent animal had already
done the right thing. Engineer George
Brown saw the dog Just as he came
around the curve and shut off steam
And that is how Mig saved the train
