There lived near the village an old
shepherd named Roger, who had a
favorite sheep dog called Cap. This
dog was the old mans only companion,
and helped in looking after the flock by
day and kept him company at night.
Cap was a very sensible dog, and kept
the sheep in such good order that he
saved his master a deal Of trouble
One day Florence was riding out with
friend, aud saw the shepherd giving
the sheep their night feed bu. Cap was
not there, and the sheep knew it, for
they scampered about in all directions.
Florence and her friend stopped to ask
Roger why he was 50 sad, and what had
become Of his dog.
"Oh. he replied, "Cap will never be

Roger how wicked Of you. What has
poor old Cap done?'
He has done nothing, replied
Roger, but he will never be Of any
more use to me, and cannot afford to
keep him. One Of the mischievous
schoolboys threw a stone at him yester-
day. and broke one Of his legs" And
the old shepherd wiped away the teari
which filed his eyes. @Poor Cap" hs

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-ffth Congress
by very large majority, and is the ac-
knowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw married the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious ap-
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,
a slight cough, a cold in the head, or a
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,
