ness and aggressiveness. Taking up the uort
of the small band of men who were opposed q,

the strength of the an,i-slavery sentiment and
the results which followed
The development of The Tribune in modern
times has been like the development of anv
ether great enterprise. In this developme,,
The Tribune has kept pace with all the i'm,
provements, and hope IL will always stand by
the policy, laid down by those who built it, OF
honest purpose, openly and fearlessly carried
out. Battles cannot be won by maintaining
guerilla warfare; fighting from behind trees
does not produce great results. The Tribune
gained its strength and won the devotion of its
readers by open warfare in favor of what it be-
lieved to be right and against everything which
il believed TO be wrong The continuation Of a
policy of that kind must always win in the long
run. and / hope that The Tribune no matter
in whose hands its ownership may rest will
never forget the work of its founders or lose
sight of the methods by which they aided in
accomplishing great benefits for the country and
the world.
I congratulate The Tribune upon its honorable
past. and trust that when another long period
shall have elapsed and another supplement OF
this kind issued the thing may be said OF
it's entire career. WILLIAM F. KING

Peruna relieves these cases promptly
because it cures the catarrh Peruna is

it may lurk in the system.
This girl was lucky enough to find
Peruna at last. AS she says, the doc

the trouble was and the medicine he
prescribed from time to time did not
help her. Peruna hit the mark at once
and she is now recommending this
wonderful remedy to all the other girls
in the United States.
Thousands of the girls who look at
her beautiful face and read her sincere
testimonial, will be led to try Peruna
in their times of trouble and critical

Every one Of them will be glad and it
is to be hoped that their enthusiasm
will lead them to do as this girl did
proclaim the fact to the world so that

1T WAS A RARE BIRD.
Prank Played by Mark Twain Upon His
Father and Ornithologists


Even in his youth Mark Twain was
prone to an indulgence in joking. His
father was greatly interested at one
time in ornitholOgy and constantly on
the lookout for rare specimens of the
bird creation. He had several friends
who were also enthusiasts on the sub
ject of birds. Whenever any one of
them discovered z rara avis it was the
custom to have a consultation. Mark
had been witness of several of these
bird inquests and had noted the de-
light the old men took in discussing

and also barnyard rooster. Plucking
out the tail feathers of both the crow
and the rooster he substituted the
ROSTERS tail feathers for those OF the
crow. producing a unique effect When
he had the specimen nicely prepared
he went to his father and, handing it
to him, said:

The old gentleman gaZed upon the

were assembled in Mr. Clemens parlor
The rare specimen was put before
them. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was an
offshoot of the bird of paradise family;
others had equally ridiculous notions
as to its ancestry. But there was one
who refused to be swerved by the Pc
culiarity of the birds tail from the
