A Noted Knight TempIar
Owes His Health to Peruna.

Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent
Knight Templar, is well known in every
city in the United States west of Buff
falo, N. Y, as a jewelers. Auctioneer.
In the city of Chicago as prominent
lodge man, being n member of the X.
T.'s and also of the Masons. The cut
shows Colonel Moody in the costume
of the Oriental Consistory Masons,
32nd degree.
In n recent letter from 5000 Mich
igan avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, Mr.. Moody
says the following:
"For over twenty-five years I
suffered from cafarrh, and for
over ten years suffered from
cafarrh offhe stomach terribly.
"Ihave taken all kinds of nIedf-
cfneS and have been treated by
all kinds of doctors, as thousands
of my acquainfances are aware
in different parts of the United
States, where I have Travelled, but
my relief was only temporary,
until a little over year ago I
started to take Peruna, and at the
present time am better than I
have been for twenty years.
"The soreness has left my Sfon,-
ach entirely and am free from
Indigestion anddyspepsia and will
say to all who are troubled with
Cafarrh or stomach trouble of any
kind, don't put 1t off and suffer,
but begin to take Peruna right
away, and keep it up until you
are cured, as you surely will be If
you persevere.
'My wife, as many in the southwest
can say, was troubled with n bad
cough and bronchial trouble, and doc
tors all over the country gave her up
to die, as they could do nothing more
for her. She began taking Peruna with
the result that she is better now than
she has been in years, and her cough
has almost left her entirely. The sore
ness has left her lungs and she is as
we'll as she ever was in her life. with
thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours
very truly, T. p. Moody.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapid
ly becoming n general curse. An un-
doubted remedy has been discovered
by DR.. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know of its virtues, and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people we
must protect them from disease. The
disease that is at once the most preva-
lent and stubborn of cure is catarrh.
If one were to make list of the diff
ferent names that have been applied
to catarrh in different locations and
! organs. the result would be astonish-
ing. We have often published partial
list of these names, and the surprise

Two News Notes.

A new kind of stitchery applied now
to cloth walking dresses is called rain
bow. Shaded sewing silk is machine
stitched in the ordinary way upon the
fabric. Supposing a piastre gray cioth
were chosen. all the strappings on the
gown might be of silk to match, or or
cloth if preferred, and the stitchery
be done in every shade of blue ana
purple. Then the bodice would be car
ried over to the left side and fastened
with shot blue and purple panne bows
tagged with silver. and the complexion
of waistbelt aZthroatlet would be
given to IT., with the additional smart
touch of a tiny turned-over collar OF
stitched silk.
AS was to be foreseen, the length
ened coat skirts have revived the
basque. On rich brocade coats the
basque is usually a fiuted founce set
on from the waistline. and is often or
namented with large flaps covering the
side pockets to match the turn-back
cuffs at the elbow in fancy velvet. In
others the basque is full and pleated,
coming from underneath waist-belt.
while occasionally it is no more than
sort of coat-tail or tab.-New York

The Trail of the Skirt.

The topic of microbes reminds one of
an appeal which, as yet, has appar-
emily been made in vain to the CON-
mon sense of women, with the view of
persuading them to abolish the trailing
skirt. This utterly indefensible habit
appears, so far, to have come to stay.
The skirt that sweeps the pavement
and gathers up all manner of undesir-
able items Including the bacilli of
consumption is an unhygienic mon
Strosity. 1t is more, for it represents
'wasteful practice. whereby often cost
ly fabrics are ruined and soiled after

Fought with an Eagle.

A woman named Callahan, living at
Carmel, Penn, had desperate fight
with an eagle which was trying to
carry away her two-year-old child.
The child's face and hands were torn
by the birds talons and Mrs. Callahan
was seriously pecked before she sue
ceeded in driving off the big bird.
The child had wandered into clear

ward Mrs. Canadian heard her scream

frightened mother beheld the monster
bird pecking. clawing and Tapping the
little one who. with her hands and
arms was trying to break away from
her antagonist.
Once the bird caught the child's
dress in it's talons and prepared to
bear it aloft, but the child's struggles
compelled the bird to let go. The
frightened mother secured a rifle and
ran to the rescue of her child. She
dared not shoot, bat with the butt of
the gun she ran screaming toward the

Practical press,nakins.

In the attempt to make short-waisted
people look longwaisted a great mis-
take is very often made in trying to
have the waist below the belt At too
closely. Only exactly at the waist-line
should the fit be made at all tight, for
if the waist below the belt is too
small the entire waist will be thrown
out of position. The dressmaker en-
deavors by pulling it up on the Shout
ders to make it fit smoothly across the
shoulders and bust, and there instantly
comes a most discouraging break be-
low the arms. All this can be avoided
by allowing sufficient width below the
belt. The waist can be made short

sides, and long point in front.-Har-

In his book. 1.-THE Early History of
Western Pennsylvania" Mr.. /. d.
Rupp tells an interesting anecdote of
Colonel Daniel Boone, which Is char
acteristic of the humor and GOODNESS
of the famous pioneer He was once
resting in the woods with a small
party of followers, when a large num-
Der of Indians came suddenly upon
them Boone had little doubt as to
their hostile intentions, but giving no
evidence of his fears, he invited the
red men to eat with him and his
friends.
The invitation was accepted. The
Indians felt so sure of their prey that
they could afford to wait. Boone, af-
fecting a carelessness which he did
not feel, admonished his men in an
undertone to keep their hands on their
rifles.
Finally he rose ind strolled toward
the Indians unarmed, leisurely pick
ing the meat from a bone. The In
dian chief rose to meet him.
After saluting, Boone professed ad-
miration for the knife with which the
chief was cutting his meat, and asked
to see it. The Indian promptly handed
it to him, and the pioneer, who pos
sessed some skill at sleight of hand,
deliberately examined the knife, then
opened his mouth and apparently swal-
lowed it.
The Indians stared in amazemcnt
while Boone gulped, rubbed his throat.
stroked his body, and then, with APP
parent satisfaction, pronounced the
knife Every good to eat"
After enjoying the surprise of the
Indians for minute, he made another
eontortion, and drawing forth the
knife. as the Indians believed, from
his body, he politely returned it to its
owner.
The old chief took the point eau
tjously and suspiciously between his
thumb and finger as If fearful of
being contaminated by handling the
weapon, and flung it from him into the
bushes.
The Indians seemed uneasy after
that. and very soon marched away,
without showing their hostile intent.
They did not choose to modest a man
who could swallow a scalping- knife
and call it good to eat
