where we thought all they did was
against her. She weighed about 100
pounds when she was in good health.
When she commenced with our family
physician in April, 1898, she weighed
about $50, but kept going down all the
time. She went to Atlanta, Ca, and
took treatment. but 1t did her no good.
Then she went to Harmony Grove. Ga,
and took treatment from the best ply
stefan there for three months. She
kept going down under his treatment,
although he was considered the best
physician in the county. She went
down from 100 pounds to 68, and we
saw she could not live long. She was
a skeleton. We consulted an old ply
stefan who told her to use Peruna. She
gradually improved and got stronger.
She has gained 38 pounds since she
has taken Peruna, aud is gaining ev-
cry day, and does her own homework.
"She was we'll known when she wSs
so low, and now everybody wants to
know what cured her She had indiges-
ton and catarrh OF the stomach. It Is
as good for children as for grown peo-
pie We haven't had to have a doctor

Alma Maynard sat at The window
looking thoughtfully out at the newly
budded trees. Poor Alma had been
confined to the house all the spring
with the scarlet fever which had left
her SO weak that at first she could
hardly lift her head, but now that she
was up and her young friends were al
lowed to visit her. she had been wish
ing they would come in party some
evening She did not know that at
school that very day her piaymates
were planning to surprise her on the
afternoon of Decoration day, which
was the next Wednesday.
The day dawned bright and warm
and about ] o'clock that afternoon
Mrs. Nelson said: Alma. you had bet
ter go and lie down awhile.
So Alma lay down and was soon fast
asleep. At signal from Mrs. Nelson
the children trooped noiseless1y from
a neighbor's, where they had gathered,
and soon the room adjoining Alma
was filled with gay lads and lassies,
all bearing sweet spring flowers which
they arranged around the room and
then sat down to wait for Alma to
awake At last she opened her eyes.
then closed them again, thinking that
the flower-flled room with its gay oc-
cupants was only dream.
Then Viva Leland, Alma's most init
mate friend, came and took her hand
and led her into the room, where the
shout of surprise! surprise! SURPRISE!
met her on all sides. Half dazed, she
looked from one to another, then broke
into a gay laugh in which they all
Joined. The afternoon passed quickly
and pleasantly, and at o'clock they
were called to the dining room for
supper. And such supper! They
were seated in couples around the
table, Alma and Ray Thornton, her ia
vorite chum, presiding at the head.
After supper Alma's father told them
stories and later they returned to
their homes, leaving the flowers for
their convalescent playmate, and with
them many wishes for speedy return
to health.

There was regular hOuseful of
Dawsons in the little, low, red house
which stood all by itself on the edge
OF the village; there were six children
who called the little house their home,
and six noisier. happier, heartier chill
dren were never known. There were
the twins, Fred and Frank, who head
ed the list, and then there were Grace
and Nellie and Harry. and last of all
came Minnie, the baby. the tiniest and
noisiest of them all.
There were great plans afoot today
in the curly heads of the merry crowd.
Tomorrow would be Decoration Day,
and were not the four oldest of the
young Dawsons to march in the long
procession of school children and carry
garlands and bouquets of flowers to
strew on the graves of our soldier
heroes? There were the flowers to
hunt in the woods, for the Dawson
flower garden showed only two flaming
red and yellow tulips and few fra
grant lilacs as it's Offering to the chill
dren. But that fact troubled them not
at all; they were only too glad of an
| excuse for spending long, delightful
day in the woods. There would be the
garlands to make and bouquets to ar
range and pieces" to ~rehearse and
thousand and one other things to do;
SO 1t was no wonder that all the little
Dawsons were up and flying around as
busy as bees at an exceedingly early
hour. Even the baby was interested,
/ and toddled around tipping over every
thing she could and getting into
everyone's way.
So much hustle and hustle made
them little bit cross, perhaps, and so
1t turned out that there was a slight
disagreement between Grace and Mel
lie and the twins early in the morn
flames, in the shape of sharp words
and angry frowns. by the time they
were ready to start for the woods the
quarrel had grown to be something
serious. The boys had been very pro-
voking, and the girls were so angry
with them that they decided to take
the lunch bask. and hurry away
when the boys were not looking, and
thus take revenge upon them for all
the mean things they had said and
done that morning. Their plan worked
to perfection and they got safely away
without being seen by anyone; but,
someway, they did not look very
happy in their triumph, as they
truaged silently along. They walked
quite slowly as soon as they once were
out OF sight of the house, instead Of

Many years ago. when Henry La
oouchere was appointed to diplosI
matte post somewhere in Europe, the
British foreign Office found that he!
was not at his post when he should
have been. On making inquiries, they
found that the new attache was at
Berlin, many miles from his official
destination; and his explanation was
that, as he was not allowed travelling
expenses and was not rich, he was
walking to his office, and would reach
the shores of the Bosphorus in due
course. That was '.LabDy's' way Of;
protesting against the non-payment#
of travelling expenses. His protest
against pomposity was just as origins.
al. 1t was pompous individual who
called to see the British minister at
Washington, D. c., when 'Labby" was
there. The minister was out, and the
caller insisted on waiting. Then
pray take chair" said the attache.s
After half an hour the pompous man
grew impatient, and asked when tho
minister was expected back. II don't
know said "Labby'; he left for Eu-3
rope this morning"
