Our trouble all came from hiring tn
Young Pswnee to carry in one of Al
rold's deer.
We were camped in the thick viii
lows on the Loup river between Tim
Der Creek and the Cedar and had beer
out three days. There was already
considerable snow on the ground, moi {
had fallen during the night, so thai
the walking was very bad.
On the morning al that third day
We sat at breakfast discussing means
Of bringing in the two deer which Ar:
mold had killed the evening before.
1t was just then that this Indian came
down the river and turned into our
camp.
AS soon as we had hired him to
carry in one of the deer we all set
Out together. After long search Ar.
mold found one OF his deer where he
had cached it in a snow-drift: The In
dian promised to set into camp With
it before dark: We went on for the
other deer which we found and i'm
dertook to carry TO camp, packing it
turn about. The snow was so deep
that long before we got in we were
so tired that We could carry the deer
but few rods at a time. However,
We did finally get to camp at dark and
there found three Indians waiting for
ts: The other deer had hot arrived.
While preparing supper Ne both
threw our belts, knives and pistols up
on the bed. After we had fed OUR
visitors they told us that they were
camped across the Cedar, up the Loup
very short distance So after sup
per we decided to go with them and
See if the Indian had gotten that far
with BUR deer. We went without
arms:
There was no moon; but the stars
and the snow-covered ground made it
quite light: The three Indians went
ahead, breaking the trail, and we fol
lowed. They Travelled very fast for
some time; then they broke into a
trot, which grew gradually faster and
faster. unt.l we found it almost i'm
possible to keep up with them.
Finally We lost sight of them and bo-
gan to suspect something was wrong
However; we concluded to follow on.
They could not hide their trail in the
deep snow, and we could always find
our way back to camp.
After while on Indian struck for

London, March 4.-In a dispatch from Pretoria, dated the Sd, Lord Kitchener sends details of the disas

Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters all over the Unit ed States. \ recommend recently re- ceiyed from Catholic institution in the Southwest reads as follows:
 A Prominent Mother Superior says:
 T can testify from experience to the efficiency of Peruna as one If the very best medicines, and it gives me pleasure to add my praise to that of thousands who have used it. For years l suffered with catarrh of the stomach, all remedies proving yaiueleas for re lief. Last spring l went to Colorado, hoping to be benefited by change of climate and while there friend ad= vised me to try Peruna. After using two bottles I found myself very much improved. The remains of my old dis ease being now so slight, l consider myself cured, yet for q while l intend to continue the use of Peruna. l am now treating another patient with your medicine. She has been sick with malaria and troubled with leueor- rhpa. I have not doubt that cure will be speedily effected"
The Monticellonian., 1902-03-07

couS membrane, restoring 1t to Its nor nal state, would consequently cure all these diseases. Catarrh is eatarrh wherever located, whether 1t be in the head, throat, lungs, stomach. kidneys, or pelvic organs. \ remedy that will cure il in one location will cure It in all locations.
 Peruna is such a remedy. The Sis ters of Charity know this. When ca- tarrhal diseases make their appear ancc they are not diseoneerted, but know exactly what remedy to use. These wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna nevef-failing safe guard They realize that when dis ease is of catarrhal nature. Peruna is the remedy. Dyspepsia and female weakness are considered 6y many to be entirely different diseases-that dyspepsia is catarrh of the stomach and female weakness is due tu catarrh of the pelvic organs the Sisters are fully aware, consequently Peruua is their remedy in both these very eom- mon and annoying diseases.
 If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the Use of Peruna. write at once [ 0 Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of Your ease, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
