noticed that, raised in the bark of an
ancient apple tree, was the eXquisitely
modelled hand of child. Robertson
cut the growth off the apple tree and
took the bark from it. 1t was seen at
a glance that by taking penknife and
making the ends of the fingers to in
dictate nails, and also by cutting little
notches on the fingers at point where
the knuckles would be, the growth
would be an exact reproduction of
child's hand. Mr.. Robertson did this,
and the little piece of wood was re-
garded as n curio by all who saw it. He
sold it to Mr.. J. p. Luck, of Ashland,
who has had it in his possession ever
since.
With the exception of the carving at
the ends of the fingers and the little
notches at the knuckles, the accom-
panying cut shows the growth exact
ly as it was taken from the tree. The
lines in tie back of the hand are all
natural. The shape of the fingers is
just as they were when the bark was
taken from the growth; the general
shape and appearance of the hand
have been unchanged, and on the in
side are all the lines natural to q HUI
man hand.
The little notch shown in the cut to
the side of the hand was point where
the thumb extended, but in taking the
bark off the growth, this was acct
dentally cut off. The thumb, like the
fingers, was accurate in every partic-
ular.
Rumor has it that a little child was
once buried here, and that not long
after the Increment an apple tree
sprang up. This grew rapidly and
near the root of it appeared the hand,
which developed by degrees until it be-
came the size of child's hand and in
its present shape.
Superstitious people think there is
some connection between the growth
of this hand on the apple tree and the
life Of the child buried alongside of it.,
The fingers were all shaped exactly
like those of child and have proper
tionate length and size. The palm of
the hand is the same and the wrist al

BRIGHT INDIAN GIRL.
Romantic History Which Has Made
Wah-ta-WasO an Accomplished
Young Lady.

Wah-ta-Waso will soon enter Har-
ward university. She is full-blood-
ed daughter of the Pannawabskik In
dian tribe of Maine. The early set
tiers found that name too difficult
to pronounce and corrupted it into
Penobscot. Wah-ta-Waso's Indian
name means Bright Eyes," and she
is said to be pretty enough and in
telligent enough to BE- worthy the
name. Like many of her tribe, she
has an English name by which she
is generally known in her dealings
with the whites, who find it more in
keeping with their ideas to call her
Lucy Nicola. She is about 20 years
of age.
There is a romantic history back
of the movement to send Bright Eyes
to the Harvard annex. Montague
Chamberlain, for many years record
er of the Lawrence scientific school
of Harvard, has taken the Indian
girl under his protection because one
of her ancestors spared the life of
one Of his forefathers. Mr.. Cham
berlain is an ethnologist who has
made a speciality of the Indian tribes
of the east. He has studied their
histories, their languages and their
legends.
About the time of the French and
Indian war some of the Pannawabs-
kiks, who had wandered from Maine
to the st. Lawrence, joined the In
dams under the French and made
raid into English territory, includ-
ing an attack on Ticondrraga. With
the English force was trader from
Boston named Chamberlain, who got
into hand-to-hand conflict with a
powerful Penobscot Indian. In the
struggle they clinched, but the red
skin was the better wrestler and
threw the white Chamberlain man
aged to regain his feet and start on
a run, but the Indian overlook him,
and, having picked up club, knocked
Chamberlain down befone he could
use his knife. The strength and
courage of the white evidently won
the admiration of the Indian, for as
he stood over Chamberlain with club
in hand the Penobscot said in Eng
lish:
81 like you. Make you my son.
You good fighter"
Chamberlain was accordingly treat
ed as prisoner and was taken to
the Indian village of st. Francis, on
the St. Lawrence river. While he
was permitted to roam freely about
the village, the Indians kept watch
full eye on him, and he knew he was
a captive. He learned, however, to
like the Indian life and remained
three years. Then in fit of home
sickness he decided to go home, but
the captor refused to let him depart
Chamberlain had won the hearts of
many of the squaws by lending them
a helping hand in their drudgery,
and some of the maidens of the tribe
aided him in escaping under cover of
darkness. He afterward became a
man of consequence in Boston, and
the ethnologist of to-day is one of
his descendants.
The Penobscot Indians in time re-
turned to Maine and settled on tAe
island in the Penobscot river, which
is still their home. Montague Cham
berlain, in the course of his investi-
cations discovered that Wah-ta-waso

If all the tired women and all the
nervous women, and all the women
that needed a tonic would read and
heed the words of these three fair Ia
dies who have spoken right to the
point, how many invalids would be
prevented and how many wretched
lives be made happy.
Peruna restores health in a normal
way.
Peruna puts right all the mucous
membranes of the body, and in this
way restores the functions of every
organ.
If it is the stomach that is out of or
der, and the digestion impaired, Pc
runa quickly makes things right by re-
storing the mucous membrane of the
stomach.
If the nerves tingle, if the brain is
tired, if the strength is tagging and
the circulation of blood weakened by
flabby mucous membranes of the di-
gestive organs, Peruna reaches the
spot at once by giving to these mem
branes the vitality and activity which
belongs to them.
The pelvic organs are also lined with
mucous membrane which in the female
sex is especially liable to derange-
ments. Peruna is an absolute specific
in these cases. The women everywhere
are prGising it. No other remedy has
ever received such unqualified praise
from such n multitude of women.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

The woman who wears a good deal
of black can alter her costume con-
siderably if she has two or three pet
ticoats OF different colorings. One
should be black and white check or

some white revers or a white collar

feather or white wings in her mil

toque, with white osprey, and, of
course, white gloves.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
