Quite safe.

Tho truth Is never more convincing
than when It "slips out" involun8rily.
Geenrally at such times It has a pc
culiar charm also. as this incident sug-
gests. A tattered and forlorn young
girl Of Is summers or 50 entered the
Office of a real estate man the other
day. Ordinarily he Is the politest of
individuals, but this day he was so
busy that he did not know which way
to turn. So, with a swift glance out OF
the corner Of his eye. he said rather
sharply:
"Well. what do you want!"
"P-p-p-lease. mister. won't you buy a
ticket ON our cuckoo clock?" replied
the girl, hesitatingly.
"Your cuckoo clock? What could l
do with a cuckoo clock even II l should
get it?'
"Oh, you won't get It. mister! Please
buy q ticket"

result u Z dramatic happening at the
annual fair at Podkamia, it has come to
light that Russian beggars make prac-
tice Of mangling and disfiguring chill
dren in order that they may show them
In public and pocket the aims drawn
from tender-hearted people by the sight
Of them.
At the Podkamia fair, in the charge
of an old beggar woman, there was lit
tie girl Of about G, whose condition
shocked everyone. She was entirely
blind. she was lame In one leg, one Of
her arms was broken, and her body was
a mass Of disgusting sores. Money SIM
ply poured In on the old bag who had
her In charge, one Of those who gave
being shabbily dressed woman.
Handing the little girl some money,
she said, pray my child, for my lost
niece, Kitty"
II am Kitty" said the little girl.
The bag with her was arrested at
once, and 1t was soon proved that she
had stolen the child from her aunt's
house at Zarvanic, in Galicia. She took
her to the headquarters of regular
gang Of which she was member, and
there the child's eyes were put out one
Of her legs and one arm were broken,
and terrible wounds were made on diff
ferent parts Of her body. Then the lit
tie girl was taken from place to place
in the country, the sight of her never
falling to bring pocketfuls Of money to
her abductors.
When the people who were at the Pod
kama fair heard the story they vowed
that they would lynch every beggar on
the grounds. and 1t was all the police
could do to keep them from doing SO.
Investigation proves that over fifty
cases similar to the one described above
have been detected during the last year.

THE POUR OLD SULTAN.
Tho Turkish Ruler Looks and Acts a.
Though He Were Haunted.

The Turkish Ruler Looks and Acts a.
Though He Were Haunted.
Probably no pOtentate on earth Is SO
continuously haunted by the fear Of
death as Is the Sultan of Turkey. This
Is the pen picture given Of him by an
American correspondent who recently
saw him In Constantinople:
II stood on the palace terrace rising
above the little roadway down which
on Friday the Sultan ventures forth to
say his prayers. l saw the extraordi-
nary precautions taken to protect him
the gathering Of all his 5000 troops,
the stoppage Of traffic by walls of arm
ed men in every roadway leading up
to the palace, then the surroundings of
the few hundred yards of roadway
which the Sultan must traverse from
his palace gate to his mosque by rows
Of soldiers knee-deep. 1t was a strange.
gorgeous. homogeneous spectacle.

were received from him. and after
years Of waiting his relatives in this
country believed him dead-a belief
that was firmly established when, in
1890. word came from the United
States consul at Sydney. Australia. that
man named Gill. together with four
companions. had been ambushed and
killed by bushmen In the interior.
Three years after his reported death
his wife became Mrs. Frank johnson
Of Brooklyn.
Meanwhile Gill was having his chap
ter of adventures in Australia. Instead
Of being killed by the bushmen he had
been captured by them and forced into
servitude. doing the most mental work
and subjected to every indignity. For
twelve years he lived in constant hope
Of deliverance. but so close was the
watch upon him and 80 far had he been
removed from civilization that his
hopes seemed vain. Finally the op-
portunity came and Gill succeeded In
making his way to the coast.
He yearned for the home and friends
from whom he had been absent for six
teen years and sought information re-
garding them through detective agen-
cy. After some delay heSwas informed
that his wife was dead. Accepting the
report as true. he remarked In Aus
tralia and this second wife and a child
survive him. In March Of this year
Gill made further inquiry for his people
and with more success. He learned
from the Brooklyn police that members
Of his family were still living in that
city and It was while he was ON his
way to Join them that death came. He
died on shipboard and was buried at
sea In the straits Of Java.

6LAiNE'S FEAR OF HORSES.

Like That Of Roosevelt.

Craig lost his life would not have &C.

one who was In such mortal fear Of be-
ing In a runaway as was tho brilliant
Maine statesman. He would take abso-
lutely no risks with horses, and required
the most extreme precautions to be OBJ
served before he would submit himself
to a carriage ride. l remember many
years ago that Mr.. Blaine was to visit
our city Of Milwaukee. and l was in
charge of the arrangements for his re-
ception and entertainment One Of the
prominent liverymen Of the town came
to me and offered free Of charge the
services Of a magnificent team of six
white horses to draw the carriage of
Mr.. Blaine. accepted the offer, and
when the statesman arrived at the de-
pot escorted him to the street where
the team and carriage were waiting.
I was about to hand Mr.. Blaine into the
vehicle when he suddenly drew back.
''There Is no one at the head of those
horses" he said, land I would prefer
that you get some man to guard them
before we proceed l told the driver
what he said. and the latter insisted
that he had absolute control over his
animals; that they were used to bands
and other noises, and that there was. not
the slightest danger. I repeated this
to Mr.. Blaine, and told him that l
thought he could safely take seat
But he wouldn't do 1t. I shall not put
my foot into the carriage he said, until
a man is put at the head Of each horse
and IL made to stay there That ended
Il. and we hurried around and got half
a dozen men together and had each
hook on to a bride. Then Mr.. Blaine
got into the carriage and we proceeded
uptown."-Brooklyn Eagle.

such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation of the heart
and heavy feelings in the stomach.
Then begins series of experiments
with medicine. They take medicine
for sick headache. They take medicine
for nervous prostration, for palpitation
of the heart, for dyspepsia. None of
these medicines do any good because
they do not reach the cause of the COM

Peruna at once mitigates all these

Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-
