To the east is sharp curve that

HH Higher Educational League, writes
H from the astoria" Washington, D.
IL c., the following:
"About two months ago was taken
very III with Ia grippe and was obliged
60 60 to bed. Itook three bottles of
Peruna with very beneficial results,
and was able to leave my bed in a
week and regained my usual strength
very soon.
"I have nothing but praise for Peru
ma and recommend II to those SINH
larry afflicted whenever can"
Frances M. Anderson.
La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic
catarrh--that is to say, a variety of acute
catarrh which is so contagious and runs a
course more or less definite, the same as
scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc.
During The, acute stages Of la grippe it is
not a very fatal disease, but the condition
in which It leaves the system has caused the
death of countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has had
la grippe within the last three years finds
himself more or less deranged by the per-
nicious effects of this disease. The major
ity of those who have escaped death find
life scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people could only
know with what certainty Peruna would
relieve them of all the bad effects which la
grippe has brought upon them, what an un-
told amount of suffering could be averted !!
Thousands have already heard how quick
~ this remedy will cure in these cases and
have been saved; but tens of thousands have

THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM.

These cafe groups, and the passing
throng before them, you will study

miration and despair. He will tell

from Sloan; he is a Christian, and
has just sold load of barley. The
man behind him comes from Ramleh,
eight hours distant; he walked in
this morning with his wife; there
she is across the street buying nuts,
that woman in blue. These three by
the door are from village beyond
Bethlehem; two are Christians and
the third a Moslem. They are con-

BURGLARS IN SOUTH|KGTON.
Savings Bank Entered and

Vault Door Was Blown to Pieces-Bur
 glars Evidently Were Scared Away
 By Their Hearing a Man Walking
 About In the Livery Stable Adjoin-
 $2,00O in Another Safe Was
 Overlooked By the Thieves.
 Southington, Oct 12.-Burglars loot ed the vault of the Southington Saw ings bank last night and secured but $2OO. They left behind them S2,000, which was in another safe and which they were unable to open. The vault door was blown to pieces and q hole was drilled in the door of the cashiers s safe, but the burglars were evidently driven away. before they could use dynamite. Fred Sawyer, who keeps q livery stable next to the bank, heard noises about 11:30 which he supposed were caused by some of his horses. He made a tour of the stable and though he did not go outside it is supposed the burglars heard him and fled. The police have no clue to the burglars. They left behind some siedge hammers which were taken from a blacksmith shop in the village. They carried away their drills and other tools. The meth ods pursued by them were similar to those at the Norfolk bank, and it Is believed they are the same burglars.

RERuKED BY PRESIDENT.

President hoosevelt round time Sum lay to administer a much-needed re-. huke to a photographer who attempt ed to take his picture on the church steps, and the president did the talk ing himself in a way which delighted all those who heard it. President Roosevelt attended church at the little German Reformed chapel at Fifteenth and o streets. Just as he was on the steps of the church the president no ticed the presence of a photographer who held his camera close to the face If the president. Col Roosevelt lodged perceptibly and hastily pushed ! big policeman in front of the camera. Then the president walked to one side and without anger but with characteristic earne stness gave the photographer a singing lecture on propriety which he will not soon for get.
 "This is Gods day." said the presi- dent. "You are defling it and disgrac- ing yourself and your profession. If you have not respect for the day and are obliged to work, then at least you must respect Gods house. You shall not take pictures on the steps of church if 1 can help it.''
 Then the president lowered his voice and gave the abashed photographer a few words of kindly advice, and the in- sident was at an end. Those who saw It were delighted at the firmness and the unconscious dignity of the presi- dent, who has been annoyed from day to day with camera fends, they having begun on him before he took the oath of office at Buffalo. The parishioners of the presidents church are indignant at the attempt, and delighted that he should have taken matters into his own hands in his own prompt fashion. The president has been constant suf- ferer from the "shots'' of camera operators, and says he fears them more than any possible bullets of an- archists.
 The police hereafter will arrest any one attempting to take a picture of the president at short range or in such a way as to annoy him.
