HER GREAT FORTUNE. 4 Woman Saved From Lfe-Lang Misery and Made Happy
 and Useful,

| A woman confined to the house for several years with a cnrcnic female do.. rangement had finally given up hope ox being cured.
 She had tried physician after physician, and remedy after remedy, without any l permanent improvement | Her treatment had cost her husband who was poor man, hundreds of dofs lars. They had been obliged to deny themselves many comforts of life Tn or- der to get money enough to pay the phy- sicians.
 Yet. in spite of all economy there was small mortgage on their property be- cause of the expense her illness had bi ought upon them.
 The woman had become weak, nervous and wretched, and scarcely able to keep out of her bed Her children were grow ing up neglected and ragged because of the want of d mothers care. Her hus- band was becoming discouraged and broken down with overwork.
 Picking up the paper one day sine hap pened to read an item which contained the news that Dr. Hartman would treat such cases free of charge hy letter. She immediately wrote the doctor describing her case, and giving him all her symp- toms.
 She soon received a letter telling her exactly what to do. and what medicines and appliances to get. She began the treatment Uhe principal remedy being Peruna) at orce, and in few weeks she was well and strong again. able to do her own work.
 This offer of free home treatment to women is still open to all who may need the services of this eminent physician. All letters applying for treatment will be promptly answered, and be held strictly confidential
 Miss J. Newlove, 25 Rowley Street, Rochester. N. Y. writes:
 T suffered with systemic catarrh, had such tired feeling faint spells, pain in the back of my head and over my eyes got so I could hardly see. was getting very nervous so that my hands trembled was chilly nearly all the time. During the months I doctored lost 70 pounds so thought I would have to try some thing else. Peruna was recommended to me by friend and I gave it a trial. Now feel better than have for years do not think could feel any better"
 MISS J. NEwLOvE.
 Miss Estella Richardson. 4s Straight Street. Grand Rapids. Mich. writes;
 T have been troubled, as most women are with irregularities and pains at my period, and a friend advised me to try PeruEa, and so I did. This seemed to relieve the pain and I kept on taking 1t until now I am well and strong, have no pains whatever and feel like a new woman. and am gaining in flesh and strength"

JOKE, SAYS MISS DEACON.
American Girl Meets Kaiser's Son
 Only Casually.

Paris Special to Chicago Tribune.
 The Wagnerian legend of the ring and the prince, woven by that enterprising Parisian newspaper. LeMatin, during the big gooseberry season when other jour nals are furnishing up new versions of "the man in the iron mask and the irrepressible sea serpent, rests upon few slender facts that I am enable to source.
 It is true that the crown prince passed two days in August 1901, at Blenheim as the guest of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough while Miss Gladys Deacon was stopping there.
 It Is true that the crown prince, who Is young for his years. and whose social experiences had hitherto been humdrum and conventional, was deeply impressed with the bright and witty conversation of a clever and exceedingly attractive American girl, who, although only 1S, mas more sense and talent than most wo- men of O.
 The crown prince was indeed exclusive ly absorbed by Miss Gladys Deacon. Wno regarded the whole thing merely as an amusing little episode to be noted m ner diary Nevertheless the impression up& the young Hohenzollern was undoubtetAy so deep as to cause his father. Emperor William, considerable uneasiness.
 Such was the fragment of converse It was frank and unconventional. but not even a irritation.
 Those two days at Blenheim year ago were the only occasions when the crown prince and Miss Deacon ever met. Miss Deacon, who is now stopping with some friends In Norfolk. is far too bright and much too sensible a girl to regard the think more than as sort of a joke. Mrs Deacon and her three younger daunEters-theresis no son in the family are passing the summer at Versailles with the Dowager Marchioness Anglesay. who was formerly Miss Minnie King Of the United States. Mrs. Deacon is much distressed at the extraordinary exargera- tion and sensational publicity given to the affair, and her straightforward. dignif1ed letter requesting the editor Of Le Maun to refrain from further mention or her by all here.
 The latla' from Mrs. Deacon Is as fol- lows:
 T have read with the most profound sadn .ss tna Mathis articmle. l know better than any one the real character of the brief relations during that meeting of forty-eight hours at Blenheim, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Marl- borough, brought about between the crown prince and my daughter. who are both children. 1t required considerable to transform the matter into a state affair

Furthermore, should for any reason, the machine get out of order and not register properly. it will also sound the warning
 Thus. in running out of Columbus for Toledo, the engineer. if he had a train to pass at every station. would set the dial for at Ackwood, 8 at Elmwood 13 at Powell, r at Hyatt's, and so on 10 the tenth stop. By such an arrange ment all the danger to d train, of an engineer becoming mentally deranRed or being killed, would seem to be o6yi- ated. for on the first failure to obey orders, the train would be brought to a full stop, when, in the nature of things an investigation would be made
