suit had he continued suffering on and
fooling away precious time with other
remedies, NO man can tell. But it is al
most certain that it would have ended
in incurable Bright's disease of the kid
neys, which sooner or later would have
proved fatal.
Peruna is sure cure for incipient
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Taken
in the early stages of this disease, it
cures permanently. Bright's disease
always begins with catarrh of the kid
neys. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.

Congressman j. H. Bankhead, Of

the great catarrh remedy, Peruna, in
the following words:
"Y0ur Peruna Is one of the best
medicines lever tried, and no family

The Director Saw the Point.


A railway director, who can take a
joke as we'll as he can give one, is the
good-natured subject of the follow
ing story:
One of the employees of the road
made application to him for . pass,
in order that he might go home to
visit his family.
"You are in our employ" asked the
director.
ayes, sir"
"And you receive your pay regu-
larly?'
81 do"
"Well, let us suppose that you were
working for a farmer. Would you
expect your employer to take out his
horses every Saturday night and drive
you home?'
"No, sir" answered the man, with
out a moments hesitation. Il should
hardly expect him to do that; but if
the farmer had his horses out and
was going my way, should think he
was a pretty mean man if he refused
to give me lift
And the more the director thought
of it, the more it seemed to him that
his question had been very satisfac,
torily answered.
The man got his pass.-Youth's

Our Agricultural Imports.

It would seem that in the face Of the
enormous annual average of $797, 00O,.
600 of agricultural exports it is
not necessary for the United States
to import great amount of agrical-
tural products. The recent bulletins
of export and import prepared by the
department of agriculture show that
our agricultural imports for 1900 reach
the huge sum of 1920, 139, 2ss, and con-

Biz Forgery Of RAILROAD Tickets.

As result of the arrest, on August Is, of
ticket brokers' concern at St. Louis,
charged with swindling customer, gigan-
tic railroad ticket counterfeiting scheme
was uncovered. After the arrest of the
brokers their Office was ransacked and an
immense number of tickets and passes found.
It was almost impossible to place an esti-
mate on the value of the tickets recovered,
but it is stated by railroad authorities that
$50, 600 would be conservative figure. 1t is
believed that many of the tickets and passes
were forged.
At Buffalo number of ticket scalpers
have already been lodged in Jail on account
of fraudulent manipulation and forgery of
railroad tickets. These instances are so
numerous the. public should take pains to
see that their tickets are purchased only
at the authorized offices Of transportation
lines. This avoids all complication and
trouble to the passenger and assures him
that the railroad tickets purchased are
valid and will be honored as printed.-Ex.

oYs3ER SHELL ROADS.
The, A..A lite Popular !. new 'e,-
sey, Although Their Whiteness
Daisies the Eyes.

Driving, cycling and sutomobiling
tourists who return from their'outings
on the South Jersey pixies this summer
are unusually enthusiastic in their
praises Of these she'll roads. writes the
Philadelphia Press.
The process of constructing these
roads i II special interest because of
its simplicity. There is no expense of
digging out the roadbed and filing in
first with large stones and then with .
smoother top dressing as in the con-
situation of macadamized road. The
shells are simply unloaded from the
bolts (Which bring them in great
quantities from nearby oyster fields
tp Buena Vista wharf,, and are then
yarted out along the roads until hol-
low is found, or any spot that needs
repairing, and are then unceremon-
iously dumped and left without any
process of pounding or smoothing, un.
til broken up and leveled off by the
passing carriages and farm wagons.
In constructing q shell road from
the beginning, load after load of the
oyster shells are dumped in All irreg-
ular bank all along the center of the
roadway; then with road scraper
bank of earth is thrown up along the
edge to keep the shells from scatter
ing. This leaves narrow, smooth
space over which the scraper has
passed along the edge of the bank of
shells; and as this is used for driving
as long as the weather is dry it would
seem that the bank of sharp shells
would never be driven into smooth.
white firmness. But wait until there
is heavy storm, and the smooth road
mud a2d sand, then the rough shell
bank is gladly mounted, and although
it is decidedly rough at first, the heavy
country driving and carting of farm
ing produce soon brushes the shells
and forces them into the rain soaked
soil beneath. A second or third bank
ing of the shells (scattering them fur
ther over the sides of the roadbed each
time), with this process repeated,
forms a roadbed that is hard and firm
to the depth of foot or more and
beautifully smooth and white.
When these shell roads extend along
great stretches of pines, with even
rows of cedar and fir trees lining the
roadway (as they do throughout many
parts of New Jersey, one is reminded
of the palmline drives so alluringly
pictured in views of "our new posses
sions."

Australian Mails Record Trip.

The most important mail that has left
Australia in years for London recently made
= record breaking trip. The mail consisted
of 347 sacks and contained many documents
for the British parliament. At Sidney it
was put on board the steamer Ventura, .
steamship sailing under the American flag
and built only last year for the Oceanic
Steamship company at the Cramps ship
yard in Philadelphia. The trip across tho
Pacific occupied just 81 days, the former
time having been Is days. From San Fran.
cisco the mail was hurried east on special
fast trains on the Southern Pacific Ogden
line), Union Pacific. and Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railroads, but arrived in
Chicago too late to connect with the fast
mail train Of the Lake Shore and New York
Central, which is N-hour train from Chi
cago to New York. A special train was made
up and attached to one of the fastest en-
gines on the Lake Shore line. The regular
train was overtaken at Toledo, and the hour
and half lost time was made up. At Buff
falo the regular train was made into two
sections by the New York Central with the
mail cars, including the Australian mail, in
the first section. New York was reached
three minutes ahead of schedule time. At
New York the mail was delivered to the
CampsR;a and that vessel left on regular
time. Barring accidents or unusual delays
it will be delivered in England in several
days shorter time than ever before.

Some Corn Crop Fig.res.

The official crop report on corn is
variously interpreted. The statisti-
clan of the Chicago Daily Trade Bulle-
tin deduces an estimate of 1,241, 0OO, 900
bushels; the statistician of the New
York produce exchange, 1893, 600, 900
bushels, and the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent, 1885,, 000,O 900 bushels. Other esti-
mates range as low as 100, 000, 900
bushels. Take your choice; but it may
be we'll to remember a pretty good
supply of old corn, a decreased cx-
portation and less feeding, when about
to sacrifice stock to save corn for the
manifestations Stockman.

Herbs in the Farm Garden.

Every garden should have herbs,
and of all varieties. Herbs for win
ter use should be gathered when the
plants are in flower. Just as the
flowers begin to fade is about the
best time. To dry them tie them in
small bundles and hang the bundles
in an airy shed. Formerly it was the
custom on every farm to grow herbs,
but the practice seems to have grown
out of use. Herbs can be grown so
easily, however, and require so little
room, that they should be given a
place for the purpose of always hav-
ing q supply at all seasons.

TOO MUCH FOR HUMAN WEAKNESS,

The weakness of human beings under un-

most constant of human traits. is not that
which affords cause for citation. For in
stance. after ex-senator Pettigrew broke
faith with the Republican state convention
of South Dakota and became a Silver Re-
publican and Populist. he assailed Wall
street methods and stigmatized Wall-street
spectators and capitalists as the wickedest
OF a most wicked and perverse generation.
So fully did he devote his time to vehement
denunciation along these lines that his fell
low-men who desire a little rest in this vale
Of tears fed his presence as they would q

of mans size. But the ex-senator has been
in Wall street on the winning side, and. TO
use a common phrase. has cleaned up"
$4,000. 1t is said that the world now looks
different to him What he has denounced
as gambling i'm stocks has become a fnan-
c.al operation affecting valuable railroad
properties. MIR. Charles A. Towne. who
was for a brief season a candidate for Vice
President with Mr.. Bryan, was one of the
most vehement and voluminous d~enouncers
OF corporations. In each of them he saw a
full-grown giant foe of the human race.
But Mr.. Towne has become the attorney Of
a corporation that may be a trust: his elo-
quent tongue is silent and his choice assert
ment of explosives no longer has value, even
I'm a junk shop.
These are but samples of the weakness
and helplessness of the tribunes of the peo-
propositions which the Mckinley era of
prosperity presents. To have listened to
such men early in the campaign one would

eloquent tribunes of the people live. one
would say. the masses will have warning
of the direful events which follow in the
train Of an era of unexampled prosperity.
But. alas, for the weakness OF human
nature. General Coxey dropped the COM
mand OF the army OF tramps when a

presented itself: ex-senator Pettigrew and
Mr.. Towne are reported among those who
have fallen easy victims TO deals in truss
stocks and attorneyships for wealthy cor

that there would not be a corporation de-
nouncer left II each OF them should be
confronted with portions OF the profits OF
