President for some days In regard TO
the vacancy on the Court of Claims. The
friends of Judge Robert NJ. Douglas, Of

THE SUDDEN DEATH OF
N. C. HARRIS IN LOUISA
wide1y-Known Station Agent of the
G. & o. at Frederick,s Hall
Passed Away Last Night.

FREDERICK'S HALL, VA, October
.-(Special.)-This community expert
enced genuine shock tonight, when it
was learned that Mr.. N. c. Harris. the
efficient and widely known agent of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway at this
place, had died very suddenly at his home
here about o'clock.

tleman, who never forgot his religion
even during business hours. He counted
his friends by the hundreds. and no
traveller ever left the little station at
the most agreeable impressions of the
courteous gentleman who supervised and
directed the heavy volume OF business
there. Constant contact with people, as
well profound reading. had supplied
Mr.. Harris with a fine store of general
information, and he was one of the most
charming of conversationalists. Virginia
and her institutions were especially dear
to him, and his loyalty to southern ideas
was one of his most pleasing traits. His
father, who at one time conducted the
largest tobacco factory in Virginia, was
a tremendous loser by the war. and had
the invading hosts spared his extensive
property in Louisa, the subject of this
sketch would have been a wealthy man.
But it was not characteristic of NAT
Harris to NOPE. His mind was too bright
and his energies too great for that. When
a young man he went bravely to work,
and scores-nay, llundreds-who knew and
loved him can testify that his life was
a success.
Mr. Harris. in addition to many other
duties, was the Dispatch correspondent at
Frederick's Hall. and his weekly letters
were always full of bright, cosby notes
and good sound ideas.

the Shape of a Presbyterian place of
worship and a roulette table. One of

most ingenious idea, says the London

stole away, made his way to the table.
and invested all he was worth on the
number Of the hymn. Needless to say
the number turned up, and the lucky
coup became the talk of the village for
the rest of the week. Next Sunday
the church was crammed to the door.
The pious pastor was rejoiced In heart.
After a powerful address he gave out

MOnkey<an Pot of lam.

A sweet little story concerning a pet
monkey and pot of jam is vouched
for by a Johns Hopkins University
man:
1t was in the country and all on a
summers day the family monkey was
seen scudding homeward literally
drenched in raspberry jam. He was
pursued by an irate neighbor with up
lifted broom, but once safe on to the
home plat he swung himself lightly
into the nearest tree and peacefully
listened to her tale Of wrong.
It seems the Heighbor had some
hours before been making jam, great
bowl Of which sat cooling on a table
beneath the trees. This the monkey
spied, but had scarcely started LIBERAL
ly helping himself to it when he was
discovered. With loud outcry and the
broom the lady started toward him,
when the mischievous beast, knowing
his minutes We're numbered, hastily
overturned the bowl on the table.
Then rolling himself joyously in it sew
eral times from head to heels he scam
pered beyond her reach. During the
recital Of her woe, and, in fact, for the
remainder of the day, the monkey sat
scooping the sweetmeat from. his body
and licking his paws with glee.

The air need not necessarily be cold,

The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many peo-
pie to initiate Peruna. A great many
so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal
tonics are to be found in many drug
stores. These remedies can be pro-
cured by the druggist much cheaper
than Peruna. Per1na can only be OBJ
tanned at a uniform prize, and no drug
gist can get it cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done every
day without doubt.
