HER LITTLE BOY.

"Always a little boy to her.
No matter how old he's grown.
Her eyes are blind to the strands Of gray,
She's deaf to his manly tone.
His voice is the same as the day he asked:
What makes the old cat purr?'
Ever and ever he's just the same
A little boy TO her.
always a little boy to her."
She heeds not the lines of care
That furrow his face-~to her it is still
As it was in his boyhood, fair.
His hopes and joys are as dear to her
As they were in his small-boy days.
He never changes; to her he's still
My little boy" she says.
always little boy to her."
And to him she's the mother fair,
With the laughing eyes and the cheering
smile
OF the boyhood days back there.
Back there, somewhere in the mist of
years
Back there with the childish joy,
And to her he is never the man we see,
But always her little boy"
always little boy to her"
The ceaseless march of the years
Goes rapidly by, but its drumbeats die
Ere ever they reach her ears.
| The smile that she sees is the smile of
youth,
The wrinkles are dimples of joy,
His hair with its gray is as sunny as May,
| He is always her little boy"

A METHODIST BISHOP
GIVES PE-RU-NA GREAT CREDIT.
Writes His Recommendation
for the Famous Catarrh
Remedy, Pe-ru-na.

The day was, when men of promi-
nenee hesitated to give their testimoni-
ais to proprietary medicines for pub
lication. This remains true to-day Of
proprietary medicines. But Peru
ma has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low station that none hesi-
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The following letters from pastors
who use Peruna speak for themselves:
Rev. f. G. Smith, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church, of Greensboro, Ca,
writes:
my little boy had been suffering for
some time with catarrh of the lower
bowels. Other remedies had failed, but
after taking two bottles of Peruna the
trouble almost entirely disappeared
For this special malady l consider it
well nigh a specific. Rev E. G.. Smith.
Rev. A. S. Vaughn, Eureka Springs,
Ark, says: Il had been Frustrated by
congestive chills and was almost dead;
as soon as able to be about, l COM
menced the use of Peruna. took FIVE
bottles; my strength returned rapidly
and l am now enjoying my usual
health. REV. A. S. Vaughn.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Peru
ma, write at once to DIR. Hartman, Civ
ing full statement of your case and,
he will he pleased to give you his wall
liable advice gratis.
Address DIR. Hartman, President OF
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,

STREET CARS COLLIDE.
Accident In Akron, o., Injuries a Dozen
Passengers. av..

Akron, O., May 1.-Two Northern
Ohio traction cars collided ut the foot
Of a steep hill on North Howard
street last evening INC a dozen people
were injured. Two cars were load
ed with passenger and were travelling
close together. For some reason the
brakes on the second car failed to work
and it dashed down the hill at a ter
rife speed, striking the forward car,
which had stopped to take on more
passengers. Strange to say, none on
the second car was injured except the
motorman, Scott, who sustained SER
ious internal injuries. The rear plat
form of the forward car was crowded
and all on the platform were more or
less injured.
The more seriously hurt are:
John Rausch, of Denison, leg crushed,
amputation necessary.
Geo. Authenheith Of Cuyahoga Falls,
foot crushed.
John Hobacht of Akron, injured
about hip.
VIM. T. Sawyer of Akron, o., in
jured internally.
A. b. Scott, motorman of Akron, In
jured internally.
James Mitchell OF Akron, both legs
broken.
1t is not believed that any of the
pa on the forward car escaped
without injury OF some kind. Many of
them went to their homes in private
md on the electric cars,
and their names could not be obtained,
1t Is claimed the city officials had
warned the company that cars were
allowed to run too fast down the hill.
A thorough investigation OF the acci'
lent will be made.
