Mrs. Bracket.

Mr.. F. e. Bracket, 8 Sable
street, Medford, Mass, says:
"I have been treating myself
for catarrh for about twenty
four years. During that time
I have used many different
kinds of medicine, but since
using your medicines 1 find
them far superior in every
respect. The tonic effect of
Peruna on me is truly won
derful. Ny wife uses and
recommends Peruna. IF. E.
Bracket.
Few stop to realize in how
many ways catarrh can affect
the body. Every organ, every
duct, every passage, every
opening Of the human body is
liable to catarrh. Peruna is
an internal, systemic catarrh
remedy, and acts beneficially
on all of the mucous men,
branes of the human body.
Consequently 1t Is equally eff
fective to cure catarrh in any
organ.

in testifying to the merits of
Peruna. L have taken one

ommending Peruna." Geo.

Hon. Thomas Gahan, of Chi
cago, member of the National
Committee of the Democratic
party, writes as follows:
Il was afflicted with catarrh
for fourteen years and though
L tried many remedies and
applied to several doctors I
was not able to find a cure.
Finally 1 learned of the rem
edy, Peruna, through a friend
who had used it. 1 took Pc
runa for twenty-five weeks,
and am now entirely cured. I
have every reason to think
my cure a permanent one, as
1t has been a year since then.
I can heartily recommend Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy; it
will cure when all other REM
edies fail. Thomas Gahan.

The tin mouse, you remember, who had been sentenced to two days Imprisonment in mouse trap by Judge Owl and whom Asdy had hidden in Jacks box. kept very still while the brownie policeman looked everywhere for him.
 After while the owl became disgusted with the proceedings, and with great flap ping of wings he flew away.
 That, of course, signifed that the court had adjourned for the day.
 Miss Wax Doll and her friend, little Miss China Doll, put on the wraps and hurried away, escorted by the gallant colonel of a troop of wooden soldiers. The three of them paused for minute near where Andy stood and the boy overheard Miss Wax Doll ask the brave soldier how he came to lose his sword arm.
 Andy had often wondered about 1t himself, but It had never occurred to him to ask the fellow, so now he waited with interest to heqr what the stiff little commander would say.
 Why, 1t was this way began the Colonel. "One dark night about the hour of 12 (here the dolls shuddered with delight and Miss Waxie murmured How romanticlD I, with q company of as sturdy soldiers as were ever turned out of German toy factory, started out to capture a strange animal which had been seen proving about in the outskirts of Nurseryville.

Owl didn't want his head scratched just then, so he bit an orna- mental fresco in Mir. Wildcats hind leg. Then they mixed up quite generally, until the air was full of fur and feathers, and nnally they let go, and each started home in great hurry after something he had forgotten.
 They met the next morning. and they presented really disgraceful appearance.
 Who WIS that nice, amiabie bird you caught?" asked Mr. Wildcat.
 Tt wusn,t.'a bird Tat all,'' replied Mir. Owl. 'It felt to me like the Grandad of all Wildcats, only no Wildcat could use me up thls way.
 '''It was a bird, insisted Mir. Wildcat. for my mouth was full of tail feathers when l got home. think he must have carried two knives and lawn mower. for no mere bird could use me up this way

 The poor little Colonel began to bow more than ever and to humble his thanks til Andy thought he would never get through Finally, with q last grand bow, he turned and offered his one arm to Miss China Doll, while Miss Wax Doll walked at his right.
 Andy watched them till they disappeared. Then the boy turned, to find a great crowd gathered along road which was being kept clear by a company of Andys light infantry.
 "What's up?' asked Andy of the camel.
 "Why, there's going to be a 100-yard crawl between the tin mouse and the giraffe," replied the camel,
 Bet on the mouse, my boy,' whispered the elephant in Andys ear
 'T never bet-it's wrong," said Andy.
 The elephant winked one of his wicked little eyes at him, and remarked: Its very wrong if you lose, but it's all right if you win."
 "Shut up, Ellar' said the camel, with a grin. "Master Andy is quite right; bet ting is a very wrong thing. Jes' the same, I don't mind betting you pound of fresh dates that the mouse walops old Geo.
 'I can't take that up," replied the ele- phant, because I'm going to bet on the mouse myself"

Ii was tiresonle Journey for the city-hfe children to the heart of the Maine woods and long before they reached the hunting lodge which formed the single remnant or their fathers once large properties, they were greatly discouraged. The last Is miles of their journey was on horseback, anu Helen was obliged to ride astride, as the half- breed guide who accompanied them and fur nished the horses had no side saddle, and, in fact, had never seen one. Helen rebeileu with all the strength of her b years, put finally submitted to the inevitable, ana, 10 her surprise, found her seat much more se- cure than when riding sideways on the pony she had used at home during vacations. Still, she almost died from fatigue before the journeys end, and George, too, was ready to drop from his saddle. He had become singularly self-reliant in the few weeks that had elapsed since his fathers death, and in spite of his aching muscles, bruised from the unaccustomed exercise, he helped with the pack horses and cheered his little sister by little attention at every opportunity.
 All things came to an end, and at last the little caravan reached the lodge Helen had to be helped from her raw-boned mount, but in spite of the aching stiffness of her limbs, ran to the broad piazza and took possession, crying "Welcome to Eagles Nest!
 "I'm afraid it will be rather a large nest for two small eagles like;ns," replied George.
 Altogether 1t was very we'll for a party of men to occupy when they were spend ing a few weeks on hunting trip in the wilderness, but for a dwelling to live in for years, with the nearest neighbor two miles away, and not a store for 10, Helen's heart sank at the thought. Still she went bravely out to help her brother and the half breed unpack the stores of provisions they
