In recent letter to DIR. Hartman
Congressman Botkin says:
Ny Dear Doctor-1t gives me pleas
ure to certify to the excellent curative
qualities of your medicines-Peruna
and Manalin. have been afflicted
more or less for quarter Of a century
with catarrh of the stomach and con-
stipation. A residence in Washington
has increased these troubles. A few
bottles of your medicine have given me
almost complete relief, and am sure
that a continuation of them will effect
a permanent cure."--J. d. Botkin.
Mr.. L. F. Verdery, prominent real
estate agent, Of Augusta, Ca, writes:
81 have been a great sufferer from
catarrhal dyspepsia. Tried many ply
sicians, visited good many springs,
but I believe Peruna has done more
for me than all of the above put
together. TkeeI like q new person. -
L. r. Nerdery.
The most common form Of summer
catarrh is catarrh of the stomach. This
is generally known as dyspepsia.
Peruna cures these cases like magic.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory 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 adj

AMERICAN ELEPHANTS.
The Identification of Species fron.
Fossil Remains Has Been Pro.
crossing Very Slowly.

Enough information is afforded
from year to year by newly found
fossils to enable the naturalists to inn
prove their classification of the ele-
plants that once roamed over North
America. Frederic A. Lucas, one of the
experts in the natural museum in
Washington, writes to Science to say
that at least three such species have
now been identified. Elephas primi-
genius, which is the species whose
frozen bodies have been exhumed in
Siberia, lived in Alaska, British Amer
lea, and as far south as Washington,
d. c., and st. Louis. 1t had upward
curling tusks, shaggy hide, attained
height of from nine to 10 feet, and
is popularity known as the mammoth.
Then there was a second species, Ele-
phas columbi, which inhabited the
southern part of the United States,
and was little larger than the crea-
ture just described. The late Joseph
Leidy, of Philadelphia, one of the
greatest authorities in these matters,
thought that he recognized third spe-
cies, to which he gave the name of Ele-
phas imperator. Mr.. Lucas says that
teeth discovered in Indian territory
last fall confirm Leidy's belief on this
point, and establish Imperator as a
distinct species.
Remains of mastodons also have
been found in abundance in this coun-
try, though in the majority of cases
the species are very incomplete. In
deed, it is unusual to find more than
few teeth or tusks of these animals.
However, inasmuch as Che distinction
between mastodon and elephant is
based mainly on dental Characters
tics, an important clew is furnished
by single tooth. Mr.. Lucas declares
that more confusion exists in regard
to the proper classification of mas
todons than of elephants. Only one
species of the former is satisfactorily
outlined. This is the widely distrib-
uted Americans. He regards the
Shepard, of California, fairly dis
tinct species, and also the Oscurus, or
Floridanus, of the South Atlantic
coast. He inclines to think that Leidy
was too cautious in his separation,
while Cope appears to him to have
gone to the other extreme. It is not
unlikely that there were half dozen
species of mastodons in America, but
further light is needed to make them
clear.

IL Uniform !,
The Story Of
A Happy Decoration Day

TlH HIS toggery made us Yankees
too conspikous under fire, "
he remarked, thoughtfully,
twirling a red cap on the
point of an old bayonet,
while over the sides of q battered
valise at his feet lay the well-pre-
served uniform of an Ellsworth
zouave.
"Yes, too conspikous," he repeated,
regretfully, land so we donned the
blue. But liked the red," he con-
tinued, CLEAN of pleasant memory
lighting up his face. 81 did like the
red; it warmed my blood and fired
my zeal, some way.
''Of course didn't object to wear
ing the blue-wouldn't for the world
but, as was saying, did like the
red; and if am to march tomorrow
with the boys, halt, grizzled and gray
as am, mean to wear this rig
ging. Why, it's part of me, raley,
and shall be buried in it, headgear
and all, some day-yes, some day."
He took the cap from the weapon,
placed it carefully at the bottom of
the valise and dropped the steel
alongside with a suggestive rattle.
Then he folded up the uniform rever-
emily, putting it away also in the an
Gent receptacle which had aroused
the curiosity of Fair Oaks, as to its
contents six weeks before, when he
came among it's citizens with the ar
butus blossoms.
Even his landlady, who took him in
from desire to entertain angels,
but who had utilized his services as
a gardener ever since in purely
mortal manner, had wondered many
times what the old ark of q thing
contained. And the landlord had gone
SO far as to hint at internal ma
chimes, counterfeit plates, etc.
To-day it was made clear, and all
the village found out before sun
down that Mrs. Bellamy's angel was
q hero of the civil war, and would
march on the next day in real zouave
uniform.
But Nelson Travers went on with
his hoeing of vegetables that after
noon as usual; nevertheless, he was
thinking. .."I b'lieve I WILL" he said,
as he thinned a row of young beets
carefully, II b'lieve I will. I'll comb
a little of that hair dye into my griz-
ely locks and dampen my mustache

"Oh, Nelson!" . woman's voice rang
out clear and shrill above the rub-a.
dub of the big bass drum and sweet
martial music alongside; "Nelson
Travers, is it you? Tell me, my
brother!"
The slip of fame became station
ary so suddenly that the veteran be-
hind it stumbled and came near
breaking ranks. But a woman's arms
encircled Mrs. Bellamy's angel and
whirled him out of the way in a
twinkling.
"oh. Nelson, say, is this you?'
sobbed the clear voice, 'or is this
only another Decoration day dream
of the old picture?"
'Why, it's me, of Counsel" and the
man was crying as he kissed the care
lines on the upturned face; "'course
it's me, and, Bess, my sister, do
raley see you once more? It seems
too good to be true; it does, raleyl"
He stood stroking the wind-blown
hair from her temples in his old
brotherly way.
For some time the happy two were
oblivious of everything but each 9TH

it seemed that half the village were

The Lynch family left the house in
body and came to stand near by.
Il know now why she spent weeks
wages on flowers for decorating" ex-
claimed Mrs. Lynch, tearfully; "she
thought he was dead!"
The music. the flags, the comrades
and all were out of sight and hear
ing when Nelson Travers, looking up,
beheld sea of sympathetic faces
gazing kindly, curiously into his own.
He removed the red cap with its bob
bling tassel and made the speech of
his life.
Ladies and gentlemen" said he,
"this is my long-lost sister, and we're
so s'prised at finding each other.
But, after all, It., was the toggery
that discovered me to her; she re-
membered the old red uniform. And,
as said yistiday, 4 liked the red,' SO
to-day like it better than ever!'
His voice faltered and he held out
his hand. Everybody crowded around
and for long time he and his sister
stood in the midst, receiving congrat-
ulations of the people.
Rub-a-dub-dub! they were coming
back from the cemetery, not with slow
marching step, but on a healthy
double-quick. The word had spread
like wildfre that something had hap
pened in front of the Lynch resi-
dence. And the sight of the crowd
only served to augment the story.
Rub-a-dub-the crowd gave way
and the Shields post formed a hollow
square about Nelson and his sister.
And when they had heard all about
the reunion three rousing cheers
went up for real live Ellsworth

But Nelson Travers only said,
through his happy tears: "Bess, let's
get out of this; we're too conspikous.

toggery; but, after all, I do like the
red!" MANDA /. CRoCKER.
