HE KNEW THE TUNE.
But Was Ignorant of the Title of the
 Pieces He Wanted.

It was at the sheet music counter of department store. A man who had found his way through the maze of dress goods avenues and millinery streets came up to the young woman and said: ''I want to get a piece of music 1 heard the other evening. 1 don't know the name of it, but in one place it goes something like this: Lala-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, lallalla. lallalla. la-la-la-la."
 The young woman had leaned over the counter and listened thoughtful ly, says the Milwaukee Sentinel. but when he had concluded his very try ing vocal exercise she shook her head as if in doubt. Then she brightened.
 ''Perhaps you mean this" she said, ard she hummed fragment of tune.
 "That's it, he exclaimed, grin ming. T didn't have it quite right" ;"
 After he had bought his piece of music and departed the saleswoman said, in answer to question, that very often a customer who came in to buy a song did not know the name of the song and would sing the air. Oftener still, the customer would know one or two lines of the song and would ex- pect the saleswoman to recognize the song from the brief quotation.

an account of the Inquisition, etc.
DR.. Zimmerman's visit was made after
the late war. The Spanards were always
courteous and never did We receive any,
thing but the kindest treatme from them. "
Their courtesy must have been strained
by many OF the questions that were put
to them. The chief value Of the book
is. in DR.. Zimmerman's view. the record
of his impressions; he undoubtedly tried
to be sympathetic. but the Spaniards can
not be judged from the standpoint Of
Protestant theology or American prog
ress. The book would be much better
were it not for the intrusion OF earlier

The great popularity of Peruna as a

people 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 Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at uniform price, and no
druggist can get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna. It is done every
day without a doubt.
