Miss Carrie Thomas, in speaking OF
Pe-ru-na, says: q have used Pe-ru-na
with splendid results. Would not be
without it. No money would hire me
to have settled cold or chronic
cough, or hoarseness. Catarrh is the
most dreadful thing that could happen
to one of my profession. Pe-ru-na is
my shield and protector against this
most undesirable disease.''-Carrie

WHAT THE FOOL. SAID.
The Story of a Quotation, and whs

An Ignoramus, not knowing the au
thor of the line Though lost to sight

son of Discretion, says the New
York Sun. you don't mean to tell
me you don't know?" laughed the
Person of Discretion so rudely that
the Ignoramus skunk away ashamed.
Plucking up courage he approached
a Diplomatist: 81 ne same author that
penned the line Consistency, thou art
Jewell was the answer. The To-
noramus asked Man Who Is Never
Caught Mapping. "Of course I know
the author" said the Man Who Is
Never Caught Mapping. "It's-ahem
-confound it. I've forgotten. The
name is on the very tip of my
tongue, but-how stupid know per-
fectly well, you know, but your ask
ing me has knocked it clear out of
my head" The Ignoramus went to
Wise Man and told HIM all "Three
separate students upon three sepa-
rate occasions were asked three diff
ferent questions" said the Wise Man,
oracularly. THE first question was:-
What was the exact number of the
ancient Greek chorus?' the second:
What is the cause of the aurora
borealis? the third: What is the
source of animal heat?' To each
question each student gave the same
answer: Il did know, but I've forgot
ten, and each instructor, it is said,
made the same comment: TO think
that the only man who ever knew
should have forgotten!' Still mysti-
fed. the Ignoramus asked a Fool
there was mo doubt about his being
a Fool, because everybody said So.
His answer proved it. II don't know

depth of 100 feet Mr.. Gordon went
through vein Of superior Ignite
twelve feet in thickness. He, passed
this and at depth of nearly 800 feet
encountered heavy layer of genuine

of coal like that used by the Great
Northern and 500 railway companies
for locomotive purposes.

minds of those who have investigated

much in favor of the passage of the
bill introduced to amend the exemp
ton laws of the state fixing the ex-
semptions at $500 instead of 81, 500 AZ
at the present time.
It is claimed that the present Law
was enacted in the early days when i,
was desired to offer every possible ad-
vantage to those who wished to enter
into business in this section of the
country. Since these laws were enact
ed there has been a. very decided
change in conditions. People are
focking to North Dakota because they
are assured that the outlook is excel,
lent for all lines of business.
It is argued by the jobbers that tho
exemptions at the present time are a
rdetriment to all concerned. One thou

is more than should be allowed, as the
wholesalers for this reason are trific
