November Colds Should Not Be

Catarrh.
Pe.ru.na Cures a Cold Promptly
and Permanently.

at am glad to recommend Peruna as it
has done SO much for me. had been a
great sufferer from catarrhal colds un-
til was urged to try Peruna, and am
happy to say that it has entirely cured
me. I shall never be without it and

Most people think the success of Pc
runa depends upon the use of advertise
ments- Undoubtedly the advertise
ments help some But by far the great
est number of people who hear Of Pc
runa, have their attention called to it
by friend.
Some one gets cured of chronic ca
tarrh by Peruna. After he is certain of
his cure, he is sure to recommend it to
his friends. Friend recommends it to
friend and the news spreads from tongue
to tongue.
All the advertisements in the world
could NOT make Peruna as popular as
it IS. Peruna cures. That Is the req
son people like ii. Peruna cures q
very stubborn disease. That is why
everyone recommends ii. Peruna

remedies fail which explains why

Long Lawsuit over a Pig.

About a year ago a pig strayed
away from the premises of Charles
Trigg, near Corydon, KY. After it had
been gone several months Mr.. Trigg
found a pig at the farm of Porter
Swope, which he believed was his
own. Mr.. Swope said he raised it,
and controversy arose.
Swope refused to give it up. Trigg
was determined to have it, so the case
got into court. The result of the mag
istrate'S trial was a verdict in favor
Of Trigg. Swope Immediately ap-
pealed to the county court.
The case is still in the courts The
cost in the case is more than 5000,

Bottom Fell Out of Well.

Will Mcclure, a jeweler of Leitch-
field, KY, while drilling for a well on
the property of Jim Mcclure in the
suburbs of Leitchfield, suddenly had
the bottom fall out of the well into a
circular subterranean cavern. The
well was dug to the depth of % feet,
when the bottom fell into the cavern,
which is about forty by sixty feet and
from eight to ten feet high. There are
two passages leading from this cham
Der, one running east and one west.
A part of the eastern passage has
been explored to the distance of $50
yards, while in this passage there are
two divergent passages unexplored- In
the western passage, which takes g
declivity of about thirty feet, a large
chamber is reached, 80 by $50 feet
long, and ten or twelve feet high.
There are two unexplored passages
leading out of the western passage.
The walls and top of the caverns are
covered with a white limestone forma-
ton.

Germany. 1t represents school
room in the days of old Rome. At
their desks sit children, and on the
wall hang two states, one containing
a simple sum in addition and the other
one in multiplication. Scholars, how
ever, are unable to find any mean
ing in the words engraved on this
relic, which is of stone and in the
form of a tablet. The reason probably
is because some of the letters have
been erased. The only point on which
they agree is that the word ''Veet"
refers to the linen or calico buster
which may be seen hanging between
the two states, and which was evident
ly used to clean them. The context
shows that this is the most plausible
Interpretation of the word Vest, "
for otherwise the two preceding
words, Gave Terge," which are clear
ly a warning to the pupils not to for
get to clean the states, would have no
meaning. 1t should be noted, how
ever, that the word west" is incom-
plete. The word as originally engrav-
ed was Western" but the final letters
are missing.

Worst OF All.


Again hear that creaking step:
He's rapping at the door;
Too well 1 know the boding sound
That ushers in a bore
I do not tremb1e when / meet
The stoutest of my foes.
But Heaven defend me from the fr1eno
Who comes-but never goes!
He drops into my easy chair.
And asks about the news;
He peers into my manuscript
And gives his candid views.
He tells me where he likes the hnes
And where he's forced to grieve;
He takes the strongest liberties
But never takes his leave
Whene,er he comes-that dreadful man
Disguise it 1 may,
know that, like the autumn rain,
He'll last throughout the day
In vain speak of urgent taskSs
In vain I scowl and pout;
A frown is no extinguisher-
1t does not put him out!

Or hint to John that I am gone

But Heaven defend me from the friend

Fisherman's Fight With a Whale.

Fisherman's Fight With Whale.
Chased by huge whale with moth
ing but a pair of oars to defend him.
self. is the story told by a fisherman,
Fred Campbell of Mainadieu. Cape
Breton.
Mr.. Campbell was out in a small
boat. He was not very far from land
when he noticed a huge sea monster
approaching him. Not wishing to en-
counter it, Mr.. Campbell bent himself
to the cars and tried to get In shore
before the monster reached him.
The whale gained on him, and he
soon recognized that his efforts to
reach shore ahead of his pursuer were
futile. His means of defense were not
of much account, but he made good
use of what was at hand.
The monster opened his jaws wide
and tried to swallow the boat, man
and all. Mr.. Campbell reached over
with an oar and for a few minutes
succeeded in keeping the, whale
away.
When it looked as though Campbell
was doomed, a small boat hove in
sight, and its occupants noticing the
mans perilous position, fastened to
his aid. The whale then disappeared.

Horse Does a wateh-Doe Stunt.

A prominent citizen of Gridley, CAL,
has a horse that does excellent ser
vice as a watchdog. But for the Won
derful intelligence and faithfulness Of
the animal which occupies a corral
next to the chicken house, a thief
would have made his escape with q
batch of valuable poultry.
During the night the proprietor was
awakened by a racket in the henyard.
and, on taking a cautious look. saw in
the dim light a marauder coming out
of the henhouse with a sack. At the
same time the horse with a vicious
squeal, went toward the thief and,
wheeling about began to kick at him.
The thief dropped the sack of chick
ems and ran, with the horse after him,
the horse actually biting out a mouth
full of the mans coattails as he scaled
the corral fence The bag contained
eight chickens.

Queer Fish.

Which fish have the power of float
ing and swimming back downward?
This peculiar property is possessed
only by the diodon and the tetrodon,
two allied families of tropical fishes
which are popularity known as globe
fish. The tetrodon is found on the
coasts of Cornwall and Ireland The
faculty is due to the fact that the skin
OF the abdomen of these fishes is much
ioos@r than it is ON the back, and they
have the power to initiate this loose

outlet This. Of course. enables them

great French naturalist, Cuvier, did
not believe that when In this position
they could swim as they pleased. Oar
win corrected him and proved that
they could swim both forward and
backward In this position.
1t Is, of course, well known that the
shark and the dogash. owing to the
peculiar position of the underjaw, are
obliged to turn on their backs before
they can seize their prey, and while In
this position they are able to swim for
very considerable distance. This.
however, is done by the muscular
force of the fms and tail, and not
through any special apparatus, such as
the globe-dsh possesses.
