"TuRKEY PENNY

From an obscure hamlet in Iowa, about
fifteen miles from Muscatine, comes the
news OF the death OF old Hank Penny
the Quaintest, queerest gambler that ever
turned a card between the Atlantic
ocean and the Mississippi river There
are many who viii remember him and
his numberless ingenious devices for
making money by the exercise OF his
nimble wits without the labor Of his
hands. He was well up in the SOS at the
time Of his death, for be was man ap-
preaching middle age at the close OF the
civil war.
It is probable that Penny is more wide
ly remembered down through Virginia.
Georgia, and the two Carolinas than
elsewhere, for Il was IN those great
slave-hoiding states that his peculiar
gifts made him famous and gave him the
sobriQuet that stuck 10 him throughout
the later years OF his life. To all the
gamblers in the East and in the West
and he was known to every man jack
Of them-he was .-IGinky" Penny. On
the lower East Side OF New York City
he frequently was spoken of as Turkey
Penny Each Of these appeilatiOns had a
peculiar and interesting significance
On the west side OF Chatham square,
between Doyer and Mott streets, there
stood until two years ago an old ram
shackle building, that as far back as
used for the exhibition Of living skele-
tons, bearded women. leopard boys, and
other freaks OF nature. A six-story build
ing now nearing completion occupies the
sic.
1t was there that old Hank Penny first
came into prominent public notice IN
March, 1865, on the day that Sheridan
moved up the Shenandoah Valley to join
Grant, the freak house, as it was popu-
lariy known. blossomed out with q new
and novel soldiers who had served out
the term of their enlistment and were
coming home-many OF them with three
years pay-to squander in one night,
perhaps, the money which had taken so
long to earn. Nothing was too good for
any man in a blue uniform, and besides
spending what he had in his own purse
he was at liberty TO draw on the purses
Of patriotic friends. He craved entertain
ment of the lighter sort, and Hank Pen
ny undertook to provide it. The canvas
daubs Of fat women and savage cannibals
from the South Sea Islands had been
removed from the front OF the freak
house and in their place was an immense
poster on which was printed in large,
bold type the following announcement:

AN ACCOMPLISHED CUBAN
Eulogizes Peruna as an Efficacious Catarrh Cure

weakened nerve centers, and thus gives
tone to the mucous nom branes that line
the various organs Of the body.
Catarrh is always located in some mu.
cous membrane. Casarrh is a flabby
condition of the blood vessels of these
membranes. Peruna gives tone to these
vessels aud restores them to their natu-
raj elasticity.
Miss Martha Wittkopp writes from
Greenville, Mich, the following :"When
/ began yonr treatment had catarrh OF
the head, nose, throat, stomach and pei
vic organs. 1 was troubled with hawk
ing and splitting, caught cold very easily,
had almost constant headache. NV
stomach was all out of order,I did not
sleep well, and was more tired in the
morning than when I retired. 1 had
back ache and was very nervous, in fact,
the catarrh had permeated my entire
system, and I almost despaired Of
getting we'll.
81 wrote you for advice and you adj
vised Peruna. I began to gain right
along, and am now well. My parents
praise Peruna very much. AS for my.
self, can't speak we'll enough of it. I

I never have before. I cannot remem-
