Archie Roosevelt, the presidents sec
ond son, unwittlngly administered a
rebuke to the arlstOcratic tendencies Of
one grande dame of Washington who
happened to be calling at the house OF
one Of his schoOlmates while he was
there. Upon being told that young
Archie was the son Of the president
and that he attended the public school
the aristocratic visitor began plying
him with questions as to his studies,
all Of which he answered In a straight
forward way. Then. after asking him
about his fellow pupils. she wanted to
know If he did not find that many Of
the boys at the public schools were
trough and common" Archie's reply
left no doubt as to his views on the
subject of boys.
"My papa says" he spoke up EN-
phatically. that there are tall boys
and short boys and good boys and bad
boys, and those are the only kinds Of
boys there are."-Christian Work.

The Pone,s VIII.

Pope Leo Nil. will leave his person
al fortune to his five nephews on con-
dition that they shall never make the
slightest claim upon the Italian gov
eminent. The reason for this peculiar
provision lies in the fact that theoret-
ically the government pays the pope
an annual stipend Of 100000 lire, or
100000. But the pope has always re-
fused to accept the stipend. On the
death Of Plus TX, however. his neph-
ews claimed the back pay" which
their uncle had refused to touch. The
claim. of course. was not allowed, but
the affair injured the prestige of the
Vatican, and Pope Leo Is determined
to prevent a repetition Of the scandal.

How Book buying Has Increased.

Formerly the buying Of book was
a matter of considerable Importance.
1t was felt to be bit of extravaganza,
an expenditure which was easily avoid
able. Books could be borrowed or TAX
en- from a library. They were pleasant
things to have about. They gave an
air Of refinement and intelligence to
room or house. But 1t was easy to
get along without them. People bought
tickets for concert, lecture. for the
opera or the theater, and thought 1t en-
tirely legitimate to spend little mon
ey for recreation and refreshment.
When these same people thought or
buying book which cost no more than
q single ticket to a concert and not
half as much as a ticket to an opera,
they hesitated. They were not in the
habit Of buying books and they were In
the habit Of buying tickets Of all kinds
of entertainments; that was the differ
ence. Now people have formed the
habit both of reading and buying
books. 1t does not seem to them any
more extravagant TO pay dollar or
dollar and a quarter for Il novel than
for a concert ticket-Hamilton w. Ma
bic In Ladies' Home Journal.

The white pine is disdnctively a
northern tree. The native distribution
of the tree was from Newfoundland
on the east to Lake Winnipeg on the
west and thence to the southern bound
aries Of Wisconsin, Michigan, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut
The white pine belt also followed the
Appalachian range as far to the south
as Georgia. The best growth Of the
tree was in Maine and the British ter

Lawrence river, in New Hampshire,
Vermont, northern New York, Michi-

CInaaifYinr a Mummy.

The story is told Of French savant
returned from Egypt bringing a royal
mummy with him, and the case was
opened at Marseilles. Being told that
it contained a pharaoh, the officer
looked up pharaoh in the tariff, but no
mention could he find Of such an arti-
Gle. Then it occurred to him that a
nice, high duty was on dried fish, and
the savant had to pay as if for that
commodity.

strange to see how they lie, with every

because they have I'm them an instinct
Of fear, and they front the wind so

have to do Is to approach softly from

To give a short letter from this section of
Virginia.
The long continued dry weather has
been great draw back TO many of our
farmers, but the nice rains within the
last few weeks have greatly revived
growth of all kind, and we are looking
forward to "a much better corn crop than
was anticipated.
The toot of the thresher has been heard
iii our midst, and the yield Of wheat is
very good, considering the small growth
of straw.
The fruit crop, as general thing, isn't
n good one this season, peaches being
almost an entire failure.
The base ball games have afforded our
young people quite little amusement
this summer. They seem to be very
enthusiastic over them, and, by the way,
the team in our little town is hard to
down.
Everything in the shape of wheels will
be ON the road this week, to and from
the Amissville camp meeting, which is in
progress. Rappahannock has three asso-
citation this month. Poor chickens, you
had better take to the woods and stay
there until they are all over.
Mr.. Chas. Green held his annual school
examination last week. At the close re-
freshments were served in the Academy,
which made the occasion very enjoy

highly esteemed by all who know him.

THREE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

tonic, Poruna:

different woman. "---FIore1cc Allan.
Thousands of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to produce
such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation OF the heart
and heavy feelings in the stomach.
Then begins a series OF experiments.
They take medicine for sick headache.
They take medicine for nervous prostra-
ton, for palpitation of the heart, for
| dyspepsia. None OF these medicines do
any good because they do not reach the
cause OF the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
I symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is tho trouble. Sys-
temic catarrh pervadcs the whole svs-
tenn, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
is removed.
This is exactly what Poruna will do.
