partisans were distinguished by some
badge of violet color, such as rings,
with the following motto: Ellie re-

Napoleon generally carried about
their persons one of the violet prints,
which were freely circulated in France
without exciting the least suspicion
among the Bourbons.
1.-The manner in which the friends
of Napoleon recognized an adherent
to his cause was by asking the ques-
ton: Aimee vous Ia violette?' (Do
you like the violet?) If the answer
returned was 'Oui" (yes), the person
was discovered not to be a confeder-

CONGRESSMAN MEEKIsON, OF OHIO.

Hon. David Meekison is well known.
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress
by very large majority, and is the ac-
knowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with its insidious APP
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DR..
Hartman as the result:
"Ihave used several bottles of Peru
ma and feel greatly benefited thereby
from my catarrh of the head. I feel
encouraged to believe that if use it a
short time longer will be able to fully
eradicate the disease of thirty years
standing. Yours truly,
David Meekison."
Many people can tolerate slight ca.
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness
slight cough, a cold in the head, or q
trifing arrangement of the digestive
organs, do not much disturb the aver
age person in his business. But this is
not true of the public speaker or stage
artist. His voice must always be clear

HAS ROYAL PATRONS.
German Fur-Skin Dresser, Lfvinx I'm
Chicago, Does Work for Em-
presses and Queens.

George Hofer, fur skin dresser to
kings and emperors, lords. dukes and
millionaires, lives with his three dogs
in a. quaint. gloomy little room in the
rear of 1910 North Ashland avenue,
Chicago.
His little shop, 10 by 80 feet in size,
sees skins of fabulous value arrive in
the green state from all parts of the
world and leave again by express in
the most perfect condition fur skins
can attain. From South Africa. Asia,
all parts of Europe. South America
and all points in the United States. and
even from Alaska and Australia. come
bales of skins to be dressed by this little
German living in an obscure part of an
obscure street.
The approach to his workshop is
through one of the worst streets in
the city. Mud to the depth of two
feet OR more makes the thoroughfare
impossible to vehicles. and the wabbly
board walks are made safe only by the
constant care of Hofer and his indus
trious neighbors. The walks leading
to the rear building, where the shop is
located, are as clean as daily scrubbin g
can make them. and the building in
which Hofer carries on his work is so
thoroughly disinfected that the odor
OF skins or that vile smell usually per-
ceptible in tannery is entirely absent.
The entire place bears that evidence
OF bachelor neatness and thrift that
comes with years of toll and economy
peculiar to the German.
Hofer has lived in Chicago IA years,
having arrived here just 12 days be-
fore the Haymarket riot in 1886 from
New York. in which city he had spent
16 years from the time he left Ham
burg.
Comparatively unknown to all ex-
cept those engaged in the handling of
rhe most valuable fur skins, Hofer.
in his unassuming way continues to
use his art in dressing skins for roy
atty and all the big fur houses of
America.
He was born in 1916 at Waringkin.
Germany, and after slight schoolin e
started as an apprentice to learn the
trade of skin dressing in Preylau. Prus-
STA. province of konigsberg, at the age
of ten. He served his apprenticeship
and afterwards travelled extensively
through all the countries of Europe
seeking new information that would
lead to a greater proficiency in his
trade.
During these travels he gained a
reputation as curer and dresser of
skins that brought him work from the
royalty of all Europe. He has dressed
skins for three czars of Russia for EN-
peror William of Germany. and two of
his predecessors. for Queen Victoria
and King Edward. and, in fact, for all
the nobility of Europe that could at
ford to buy their. skins in the rough
and have the dressing and tanning
done privately.
Hofer dressed the skins for the COM
ing-out cloak of John Nanamaker'
daughter upon the occasion of her en-

The ancients began their year with

The ancients also showed their

that the blood should be cleansed
from impurities and the nerves REIN

establishment of the custom of taxi

This most sensible and healthy
custom is followed by almost every

from winter to summer without TAX
