LOUIS PASTEUR.

Nearly all ordinarily intelligent men
have read or heard of Pasteur, and his
discovery for the cure or prevention Of
hydrophobia. But few know anything
Of the man. He was Of French birth.
On the 9th of December 1922, Louis
Pasteur was born OF humble parents.
His father was a brave soldier under
Napoleon and received the ross of the
Legion of Honor for his ~gallantry.
Louis the boy was not particularly
brilliant. but was studious and diligent.
His father expected much of him and
gave him a fairly good education. His

volumes. Mcclure, Phillips & Co., are
the publishers. Pasteur made several
very interesting and important discov-
cries. His benefaction to his race and
country was by no mean confined to
his discovery Of the incubation for the
cure Of rabies. Institutions for the
treatment of this dreadful disease are
scattered around the world. This dis
covery. perhaps his latest. has given
him far more fame than his, other dis
coveries, and yet they were very In

His important discoveries were in crys-

hydrophobia or mad-dog bites. 1t Is
interesting to read of how vast the ben

fermentation: the silkworm and the
disease that so destroyed cattle. A

The coal product Of The United States
is immense. But did you know that all
of the hard coal comes from Pennsyl-
vania, while bituminous coal is found in
six or eight states. The product Of
hard coal amounts to some 81, 900, 0OC
o a year, and the soft coal is quite
four times that amount. A book on
The Anthracite Coal Industry" has
been written by DR.. Peter Roberts, an
expert. The Tribune reviewing it says:
Generally speaking, the hard coal is
valued at $3.50 per ton at the mouth of
the mine, while the latter is worth
scarcely more than 81. Owing to the
wasteful methods OF mining now IN
vogue, three tons Of coal are removed
from the earth for every one sent tn
market. Unless there is an improve
ment in this respect, The anthracite de-
posts will last scarcely more than six !.
or seventy years. If. though, one ton
could be saved GU of every two which
are mined. and if the production cnrlu
tons annually. the supply might not
give out for a century.

A ROMANTIC STORY.
Alnsr From Colorado May Wed an
Indian Girl.

Indian Girl.
The following romantic story comes
from Tacoma, Washington:
NJ. f. Gordon, an old-time miner of
Colorado and Alaska, has gone to Cor
pus, Christi, Texas, to join an Indian
maiden who loves him, and whom his
friends feel certain he will marry. Cor
don's most thrilling experience during
life of adventures happened a num-
ber of years ago when he became lost
in the mountain wilds of western Mex
leo, and wandered about eight months,
living on wild animals and berries,
without sight of human beings. He
was led from the wilderness by two In
dian maidens, one of whom fell in love
with him. When they got within sight
of civilization this maiden refused to
leave him. Her companion, becoming
jealous, left them, but returned next
day with the tribe, who seized Gordon
and prepared to burn him at the stake.
While the ceremony was delayed
awaiting the chieftain's arrival, Cor
don broke the bands which bound him
and escaped.
After several years spent in Alaska
and other northern camps, Gordon this
week received letter from the Indian
girl which reveals a remarkable story.
Refusing to marry any one else, she de-
cided to become his equal by educating
herself. This she accomplished, finally
becoming teacher in one Of the Texas
Indian schools. Her father, an Indian
chief, died, leaving her a valuable es-
tate. She waited for Gordon vainly
until one day she saw the picture in n
Denver paper. She wrote him in Alas
ka and finally at Tacoma. In re-
sponse to her letter Gordon now joins
her.

The great popularity Of PerunA as .
eatarrh 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 procured
by the druggist much cheaper than Pc
runa. Peruna can only be obtained at
q uniform price, and no druggist can
get it cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations Of
Peruna for Peruna. It Is done every
day without doubt

We would caution all people against
accepting substitutes for Peruna. In

other internal remedy for catarrh that
will take the place of Peruna. Allow
no one to persuade you to the contrary.
