sHUKED CORN IN HIS SLEEP.
Boy somnambulist Drove Team Into
Risld-Half Way Across He Stun
bled and Woke Up to Find
Wagon Bed Quarter Full.

STRAHAN, To-, Nov. 21.-Arleigh
Eacrette, a 15-year-old boy, arose in his
sleep, dressed, went to the barn,
hitched up the team, drove out into
the corn field and actually shucked a
fourth Of a load Of corn before awak-
ing. What is more remarkable, not
to exceed a dozen ears ofcorn had been
missed by him in his journey across
the field.
This feat seems incredible, but is
thoroughly substantiated. The boy
retired at o O'Clock and went soundly
asleep. At 2 O'Clock he awakened the
household by returning from the corn
field with the wagon box partially
filed with corn. He has been a SOM
nambulist all his life and had done
many remarkable things in his sleep,
but nothing to compare with bis corn
shucking adventure.
He is an industrious youth and has
been working early and late for week
helping his father pick the corn in an
effort to gather all Of 1t while the
iine weather continued. He undonbt-
edly had his work on his mind when
he got up, donned his clothes and
husking mittens and drove to the
corn field. The team was familiar
with the route to the corn field and
he drove them through series Of
gates to the field without a mishap.
He alighted and started across the
field. The team proceeded at the
usual rate of speed and by some
strange intuition he managed to find
practically all the ears Of corn along
the route.
When over half way across a 100
acre field he happened to stumble and
fell with such force as to awaken him.
He lighted match, glanced at his
watch aud remarklng to himself that
he was sup to some Of his old tricks
again." drove back to the house and
slept out the night as though nothing
had happened.

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

'tIn these days of all kinds of medicine
1t Is q comfort TO know Of remedy
which may be used with unquestiened
beneficial results. Igladly recommend
Peruna as safe, reliable remedy in
cases of catarrh Of the stomach, helpful
in building up the sysNsm worn out with
overwork or age.
"seYeral Of my friends who have used
Peruna have spoken of itin the highest
terms, and I congratulate you on its
merits.n
Mrs. W. Z. Grissom, Henry, Ellis Co,
Texas, writes;
~ took Peruna faithfully over two

chronic catarrh. Therefore shall avail
myself Of every opportunity to speak Of
Peruna as a catsrrh cure.D
Mr.. Harry NJ. Stevens, Midland Beach,
L. IT, New York, proprietor Of ''The
Richmond" Hotel, sys Of Peruna:
at gives me pleasure to testify to the
value Of Peruna. Ihave used 1t for years
and have found 1t to be a most excellent
family remedy. For colds, catarrh and
similar ills, It is unsurpassed" Cor
daily and gratefully,
HIM. Stevens.
Catarrh Is a systemic disease, durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does. Peruna naimmediately
invigorates the nerve-centers which
give vitality to the mucous membranes.
Then catarrh disappears. Then catarrh
is permanently cured.
Peruna 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.

MY TaUNDLE BED


As ! rummage through the garrett,
Listening to the falling rain
As 1t pattered on the shingles
And against the window pane,
Peeping over chests and boxes
That with dust we're thickly spread,
Spying in the farthest corner,
Where was once my trundle bed.
AS / drew 1t from the recess
Where it had remained so long,
Hearing all the while the music
OF my mothers voice In song
AS she sang in sweetest accents
What l since have often read.
''Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber,
Holy angels guard thy bed"
Then it was with hands so gently
Placed upon my infant head
That she taught my lips to utter
Carefully the words she said.
Never can they be forgotten,
Deep are they in memory craven;
"Hallowed be Thy name, o Father
Father, Thou who art in Heaven"
This she taught me, then she told me
OF its import great and deep,
And twas then learned to utter;
snow lay me down to Sleep"
Then it was with hands uplifted
And in whispers soft and mild
That my mother asked our Father;
Father, do Thou bless my child?"
Years has passed and that dear mother
Long has moldered meath the sod,
Still ! trust her sainted spirit
Revels in the house of God.
And the loving recollections
OF the years that long have fed
Fill my eyes with tears Of sorrow
When see my trundle bed.

BY STUB PEN.
The critic comes with his microscope
seeking for faults and flaws;
For every worthy action he finds I'm
worthy cause.
He looks and looks till he finds crook
And then he works his jaws.
He comes to some great work Of art
with bis magnifying glass,
He sees none OF the beauts-he lets
the pleasure pass
And examines the paint or marble to
see IL it's tirst-class.
He comes with his detecting glass our
weakest spots to find;
Tho he finds selfish motive for each
good deed Of mankind,
To the honest endeavor that came to
grief,
His partial eyes are blind.
Come, critics, with your microscopes,
find fault with everything;
You will find the taste of honey comes
from poison sting,
And beautiful spots Of the butterfly
are caused by warts on the wings.
You are sure to meet the critic and
he issure TO wear flower;
But remember this old maxim--his
rldicule to drown
Il takes genius TO erect a statute, but
a donkey can kick IL down.

FLYING MACHINES.
Inventor Whitehead Says They Viii
Soon be on Sale at $4,000 Each
Has an Automobile Attach
ment to Give it a Start.

BRIDGEPoRT, CONN, Nov. 2l. "A
flying machine for a retail price Of
$1,000 will be placed on the market
within the next half year, IL the plans
Of Gustave Whitehead, of this city,
carry. Whitehead says that he has
had his enterprise financed and ne Is
confident of success. He now has Is
skilled machinists in building which
he constructed for the purpose. He
says that he soon will double the size
of the plant and the number of his
working force.
Six months ago Whitehead, whose
name is the Anglieized for Welskopf,
made his first test Of the machine, the
principles Of which are embodied in
the model Of the machine which he is
to sell any one who cares to buy. 1t
was an almost complete success and
since then he has made demonstra-
tions which have won for him the
necessary financial backing. White
head will not reveal the name OF the
man who is furnishing the money, but
he has been seen around the plant
frequently and is said to be resident
of New York.
The machine, which will be known
as the Whitehead, is operated by
steam and immense bird-llke wings,
and propeller moves it through the
air. 1t also has an automobile attach
ment, which is used to raise it from
the ground. Whitehead says that
when be first conceived the idea Of a
flying machine he noticed that birds
run few feet on the ground to gain
headway before soaring, and he put
in the automobile for that reason. He
is confident that his apparatus can
make 45 miles an hour; says that he
has already Travelled at that rate OF
speed in bis old model,
sWe can put machine on the mar
ket in few months and will make a
success of the business Whitehead
said.
Whitehead is native of Hungary.
He came here over year ago and has
worked as night watchman, spend

denied to all but himself, the stranger
who is financing him and the work.

machine, the inventor says, will carry
