Decorated Emperor's Yacht.

The proudest passenger to walk
down the gangplank of the Deutsch-
land on its arrival in New York few
days since. was Herbert Cummings, a
young mulatto, who was sent over on
the same steamer by local florist to
decorate the cabin of Prince Henry on
his return voyage from this country.
The lad was detailed 10 attend to the
floral decorations on board Emperor
Williams yacht Hohenzollern while
she was in port, and the prince liked
him so well that he asked that he be
sent to Bremen when he sailed ON the
Deutschland.
At the end of the voyage Prince
Henry presented him with handsome
gold watch and chain and gave him
an autograph letter of recommends

MISSOURI PEACH FARM.
Produces Many Thousands of Bushels
Annually.

To be convinced that Peach King"
McNair deserves the title one need
only visit his great farm at st. Elmo
and take look at the preparations
that have been made to handle the
peach crop. New buildings have
been erected, tents put up and pack
ing sheds built all over the vast or
chards. At st. Elmo. two miles be-
low Koshkonong, the headquarters of
Mr.. McNair have been established.
This is right in the center of his i'm
mense orchard of 100 acres, all plant
ed in peaches. To handle the fruit
Mr.. McNair will need about 500 hands,
and he will pay Z cents per hour for
men and 6 cents an hour for women,
with their meals and lodgings thrown
in. Superintendents and foremen will
receive more pay. About fifty expert
packers will be imported and they will
see that the peaches are properly
packed.
large tent around which numer-
Gus small tents are pitched will be the
quarters for the women. a barbed wire
fence sixteen feet high, with the wires
only a few inches apart, has been
erected around the women's quarters.
Mr. McNair certainly isn't going to al
low any love making around his camp.
The men will be quartered in the bar
racks which We're used last year and
which have been enlarged. Bunks sew
eral tiers high have been put in the
barracks in order that the men can be
accommodated. A big tent with sew
eral long tables placed inside Will be
used as an eating house. Every seat at
each table will be numbered and the
men and women will each have num-
Der, so that they can find their re-
spective places at the tables. Thirty
cooks will provide the grub neces-
sary for this large army of fruit
handlers.
Exactly seventy-fve double-decked
wagons have been provided for hauling
the fruit from the trees to the pack
ing house at st. Elmo. Ten thousand
picking baskets are already at the
farm, together with material enough
for 200 cars of peaches. Onehalf of
this box material has already been put
together ready for packing to begin.
Mr.. McNair has bought most all of
the peach crop in Koshkonong. He
expects to ship from ten to twenty cars
OF fruit each day until the season is
over If the rains continue for a few
days his crop will be immense and the
company will make n fortune.

A PASTORS WIFE pE,SIs SS359 al4aaRH 4E
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope

Peruna.

MRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent
lV1 Superintendent of the w. @. I. U.
headquarters, at Galesburg Ill. was
there. Her husband, when living, was
first President of he Nebraska Wesley an
University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In letter written from 401 Sixty ty-seventh
street, W.. Chicago, Ill, Mrs. Fleharty
says the following in regard to Peruna:
Having lived very active life as wife
and working partner of busy minister.
my health failed me a few years ago. l
lost my husband about the same time,
and spirit. My daughter is confirmed
invalid, and we both felt great need of an
invigorator.
zone of my neighbOrs advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was Immediate
Ly secured and a great change took
place In my daughters as well as In
my own health. Our appetifes i'm
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and resffui sleep
soon Improved US, SO that we seemed
like new women.

ten times its cost. ''-Mrs. Anna b.
EIeharfy.
What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most cases of
female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculia! to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now be-
come the most famous remedy for female
diseases known. Every where the
Peruna is not a palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any other
living physician. He makes these cures
simply by using and recommending Peruna.
