A 'POSSUM STORY.
After Surveying the Evidence Uncle
Rastus Believed He Had Eaten
the Animal,

A Kentuckian brings to town a re-
vised version of an old story, says the
New York Press. Uncle Rastus having
captured a 'possum in a 'simmon tree,
scalded the hair off, dressed it, stuffed
it, put sweet Eaters all. 'roun' and
baked it to q turn, then laid it away to
get cold for dinner. That night before
the fire in his cabin he gazed at the
'possum, in platter on the floor un-
til he fell asleep to dream ofsthe COM
ing feast. A culled neighbor passing
by peeped through crack in the door,
and, espying the 'possum neglected
and the old man soundly snoring, en-
tered on tiptoe to help himself. When
he had finished only plateful of bones
and some grease remained. The latter
he spread all over Rastus' lips, cheeks,
nose and chin and rubbed on the old
mans fingers, then departed Rastus'
amazement was profound at seeing
the heap Of bones. But he smelled dat
'possum, he tasted it. It was on his
lips and smeared on his face. It was
on his hands! After solemnly COM
muning with himself he rubbed his
paunch for evidence and remarked:

DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters all over the Unit
ed States. \ recommend recently re-
ceived from g Catholic institution in
the Southwest reads as follows:
A Prominent Mother Superior Says:
II can testify from experience to
the efficiency of Peruna as one Of 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 valueless for re-
lief. Last spring l went to Colorado,
hoping to be benefited by a change Of
climate and while there friend adj
vised me to try Peruna. After using
two bottles ! found myself very much
improved. The remains of my old dis
ease being now SO slight, I consider
myself cured, yet for a while intend
to continue the use of Peruna. I am
now treating another patient with
your medicine. She has been sick with
malaria and troubled with leucor-
rhoa. I have not doubt that a cure
will be speedily effected"

cOuS membrane, restoring 1t to It's nor.
NAL state, would consequently cure all
these diseases. Catarrh is catarrh
wherever located, whether it be in the
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys,
or pelvic organs. A remedy that will
cure it in one location will cure it in
all locations.
Peruna is such remedy. The Sis
tiers of Charity know this. When ca
tarrhal diseases make their appear
ance they are not disconnected, but
know exactly what remedy to use.
These wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna never-failing safe
guard. They realize that when dis
ease is Of catarrhal nature, Peruna is
the remedy. Dyspepsia and female
weakness are considered by many to
be entirely different diseases-that
dyspepsia is catarrh of the stomach
| and female weakness is due to catarrh
of the pelvic organs the Sisters are
fully aware, consequently Peruna is
| their remedy in both these very COM
mon and annoying diseases.
| If you do not receive prompt and
| satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,

ing, having made my plans from the
moment of stepping on board, as will
appear on q later sheet.
So ondown the great estuary we made
our way, and though it pleased the
others on board when they saw that
the seas were desolate of sails, it sad
dened me when I recalled how once
the waters had been whitened with the
glut of shipping.
They had started off on their voyage
with a bare two days provision in their
equipment, and so, of necessity, even
after leaving the great estuary, we
were forced to voyage coastwise, put
ting in every likely river and sheltered
beach to Stay fish and meat for future
victualing. "And when the winter
comes," said lob, "as it's gales will
be heavier than this old ship can
stomach, I had determined to haul up
and make a permanent camp ashore,
and get a crop of grain grown and
threshed before setting sail again. It
is the usual custom in these voyages.
And shall do it still, subject to my
lords better opinion"
So here, having by this time COM
pleted two-months' leisurely Journey
from the city, I saw my opportunity
to speak what I had always carried in
my mind. ''Tob," said, II am poor,
weak, defenseless man, and am quite
at your mercy; but what if do not
voyage all the way to the Tin islands
and GUST you of this kingship?"
He frightened perceptibly. "Aye,"
he grunted, you are very weak, my
lord, and mighty defenseless. Weknow
all about that. But what's else? You
must tell all your meaning plain. I'm

''Why, this. That it is not my wish
to leave the continent of Atlantis. If
you will put me down on any part of

mend you strongly to the gods. I
would could give you money, or (bet-
ter Silly articles that would be useful
to you in your colonizing; but as it is,
you see me destitutc.''
LAS to that, you owe me nothing,
having done vastly more than your
share each time we have put in shore
for the hunting. But it will not do,
this plan of yours. I will shamedly
confess that the sound of that king
ship in my Tin islands sounds sweet
to me. But no, my lord, it will not
do. You are no mariner yet, and un-
derstand little of geography, but I
must tell you that the part of Allan

THE VANISHING LOBSTER.
In Spite OF All, Efforts to Keep VI
the Supply, the Scarcity Increases
from Year to Year

The annual report of dearth in
lobster fisheries has made it's ap.
Pearance in January, reinforced by
the United States fish commissioner
who reports that each year it becomes
more difficult to obtain lobster eggs
along the New England coast. This de-
crease is most noticeabl south of Cape
Cod. Measures for the protection or
ostenstbiy- designed for the protection
of lobster fisheries are an established
feature of annual legislation on the
North Atlantic seaboard, says the New
York Sun. In 1899 the Maine legisla-
ture reduced the penalty for the TAX
Ing OF ''short lobsters'' from five dol
lars to one dollar and New York dimin-
ished the penalty in the same year. In
1900 Massachusetts, adopted law pro-
hibiting Holsters from being caught
in the waters within OF adjacent to
that state by anyone not having been
a resident of it for one year, and the
same legislature made it unlawful to
sell, or to have on hand, a lobster of
less than 1912 inches long. Virginia
adopted law authorizing the board
of fisheries, on petition of 50 citizens,
to lay off shoals or rocks for era bling
grounds, and South Carolina adopted
a statute for regula ting the catch, sale,
export and canning of CLANS, oysters
and Holsters. The two states which
have adopted the most comprehensive
and stringent methods for the reguia-
ton of deep-water fisheries are Mary
land and New Jersey. Massachusetts
and Virginia have followed, while New
York and Connecticut have fewer,
though New York is the great lobster
consuming constituency Of the United
States and probably Of the world.
Although GO, 600, 900 lobster eggs were
planted in New England water, the
lobster dearth still continues in con-
sequence of a constantly enlarging de-
mand. High prices are the rule and re-
course has been had to the waters of
the Pacific coast as source of addi-
tional supply and the ropagation Of

He muttered something in his pro-
fame seaman's way about preferring
to keep his own fate under the con-
troll of his own most strong right
arm, but saying that he would keep
the matter in his thoughts, he ex-
cused himself hurriedly to go and see
to somewhat concerning the working
of the ship, and there left me.
But think the sweets of kingly
rule were a strong argument in favor
of letting me have my own way

and on the third day after our talk
he put the ship inshore again for re-
victualing. We lurched into a river

when as much was cured as the ship

With sturdy generosity did lob
again attempt to make me sail on
with them as their future king, and
as steadfastly did I make refusal;
and at last stood alone on the
bank among the gnawed bones of
their feast, with my weapons to bear

CHAPTER XIII.
ZAEMON'S SUMMONS.


Since the days when man was first
created upon the earth by gods who
looked down and did their work from
another place, there have always been
areas of the land ill-adapted for his
maintenance, but none more so than
that part of Atlantis which lies over
against the savage continents of Eu-
rope and Africa. The common peo-
pie avoid it, because of superstition
which says that the spirits of the
evil dead stalk about there in broad
daylight, and Stay all those that the
more open dangers of the place might
otherwise spare. And so it has hap
pened often that the criminals who
might have fed there from justice
have returned of their own free will
and voluntarily given themselves up
fabulous terrors.
To the educated, many of these
legends are known to be mythical;
but withal there are enough disqui-
etudes remaining to make life very
arduous and stocked with peril.
Everywhere the mountains keep their
| contents on the boil; earth tremors
are every days experience; gushes of
unseen evil vapors steal upon one with
such cunningness and speed that it is
often hard to fee in time before one
is choked and killed; poison% well up
into the rivers, yet leave their color
unchanged; great cracks split across
the ground, reaching down to the fires
beneath, and the waters gush into
these, and are shot forth again with
devastating explosions; and always
may be expected great outpoarirgs
| of boiling mud or molten rock
Yet with all this there are great
somber forests in these lands, with
trees whose age is unimaginable, ana
fires among the heritage are rare. All
beneath the trees is water, and the
air is full of warm steam and wetness.
| For q man to live in that constant
hot damp is very Notifying to the
strength. But strength is wanted,
and cunning also beyond the ordinary.
for these Dangerous Lands are tho
abode of the lizards, which of al!
| beasts grow to the most enormous
size, and are the most fearsome to
deal with.
There are countless families and
| species of these lizards, and with some
of them man can contend with pros
pect of success. But there are 9TH
ers whose hugeness no human force
can battle against. One saw, as it.
came up out of a lake after gaining
! it's days food, that made the wet LAND
shake and pulse as it trod. 1t could
have taken Phorenice's mammoth into
it's belly,* and even a mammoth in full
| charge could not have harmed it.
Great horny plates covered it's head
and body, and on the ridge of it's back
and tail and limbs were spines that
tore great slivers from the black trees
as it passed among them.
