THE day was when men of promi-
 hence hesitated to give their testi-
 monials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true to- day of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly fam ous, it's merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to see his name in print recommending Peruna.
 The highest men in our nation have given Peruna strong endol senent. Men repre- senting all classes and sta tions are equally represented.
 A dignified representative of the Pres byterian church in the person of Rev. E. c. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church.
 Rev. E. c. Smith, pastor of the Presby- terian church of Greens boro, Ga. writes:
 Having used Peruna in my family for some time it gives me pleasure to testify to it's true worth.
 My little boy seven years of age had been suffering for some time with ca tarrh of the lower bowels. Other reme- dies had failed but after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en- tirely disappeared. For this special malady consider itwell nigh specific.

THE VICTIMS OF THE PANIC.
Thirty-Eight Bodies Buried in Bir- mingham on Sunday-COIIectiOns
 Taken Up in White Churches.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 22.-Sunday was day of funerals in Birmingham, the remains of 3S victims of the panic of Shiloh church being inferred in the various cemeteries for negroes around the city. Ali the negro churches were crowded, and the nat urally exeitable nature of the south ern negro was wrought to a high pitch by the eulogistie sermons over the dead bodies at the various churches.
 The death list is now known to number 105. and 100 of these have been identified. The police assert that Tn addition at least five bodies were taken to private hospitals. This would swell the number to 110. At nearly all the churches for whites sums were raised to assist the ne- groes who are unable to give their dead proper burial, and a fund aggre- gating $500 has been accumulated.

HENDERSON'S ACTION FINAL.
Will Not Accept a Denomination. But VIII Serve Out His Present Term
 Speaker.

Chicago, Sept. 22.--David B. Hen derson, speaker of the national house of representatives. passed through Chicago Sunday on his way to Atlan- tic City, where he will join Mrs. Hen- derson. Before leaving for the east, Speaker Henderson reiterated his de- cision to retire from the coneression- al race in Iowa, denied any intention of ''abdicating" his present position until his term of office shall have ex- pired, and declared himself in perfect accord with the tariff views of Pres ident Roosevelt, as enuneiated in his Cincinnati speech.
 'I have spent 20 years of my life fighting for protection for American industries and American labor, and I shall not be a party to any juggling at this late day" the speaker said. ''President Roosevelt's tariff views set forth in his Cincinnati speech coincide with my own. There is no difference in our belief His speech was a strong one. and it has my hearty indorsement."
 Then the differences are confined to your own state?" was asked.
 "Yes, largely. Let the new lights shine.'
 The speaker smiled broadly as be used the phrase.
 '.1s there any chance of your friends prevailing on you to reconsider your aetion2i
 Absolutely none. I can not see my way clear to gratify their wishes. 1t grieves me to remain firm with them, but it is matter of principle. The pressure brought to bear on me has been strong. Senator Allison and host of my old friends came to the station this morning to make a final assault on me. l had to say No"
 Will you resign from congress and give up the speakership before the end of your term?''

 The suggestion was advanced that 'ideas" and policies" in Hendersons home state might change after brief period.
 "Let the new light shine," again came the answer.
 When told that Secretary Shaw and Congressman Babcock was under stood to be awaiting his arrival at Chicago, with a view of adding their efforts to those already made to in- duee him to recede from his position, Mir. Henderson's reply was;
 "I am on my way to Atlantic City, and shall arrive there Monday night"
 When it was suggested that certain leaders had intimated that he was not loyal to his party by resigning, shade of regret passed over the speak CTS face, but he quickly said:
 "The retirement of one man or ten men from an office can not affect the future of the party. When one steps aside another takes .Is place, and the work goes on.'

FASTEST BIRD ON WING.
Duck Hawks Have No Equals When It Comes to Rapidity of
 Flight.

I never see duck hawk but that my thoughts go back to the times when this was the most valued bird in the world-the favorite of kings "a gift for an emperor, says a writer in the Boston Herald And we'll it deserves the high place which it held, for of the many birds used in the ancient sport of falconry, the duck hawk or peregrine falcon was the swiftest, the most savage and the most courageous of them all. The sport is now practically obsolete, but for thousands of years it was one of the principal amusements of the better classes throughout Europe and Asia.
 Nowhere did it take deeper root than in England, where for centuries it was conducted on a grand scale and at enormous expense. Some of the nobility kept falcons as race horses are kept to-day, regardless of cost. paying fabulous prices for celebrated birds, and maintaining large staffs of skilled falconers Men carried falcons upon their gloyed wrists in those days as a matter of course, and thought no more of it than they would of carrying walk ing sticks to-day, and lady going over so short journey would be al most sure to carry hawk of some kind
 Froissert tells us that when Ed ward III. invaded France he took 30 falconers on horseback, who had charge of his hawks. and every day he either hunted or hawked, as he was disposed"
 UIril the reign of King John only people of high rank and power were allowed to indulge in this royal sport, and many were the laws which pro- tected the hawks and their nests. Death was at one time the penalty for stealing the eggs of the falcon. Among the important privileges wrested from John was the forest charter, by virtue of which all free men were allowed to fly their own hawks and keep their own heron ries on the banks of their own rivers. But still it remained a felony to steal falcon or its eggs. and a free man was liable to imprisonment for "a year and a day" for robbng falcons nest in his own woods.

Doors had been slammed in her face;
women laughed and men smirked at
her; boys guyed her; her little feet
were blistered and her heart ached.
"If / don't do better to-day" she
said, defantly, to Mrs. o'Hara, IN
give up"
The first place she visited was a
South Water street commission house.
Inside there was a whiskered giant
roaring oaths at a dozen porters.
The windows ratified with his pro-
family. When he paused she came to
him and asked for the proprietor.
That's me-" he roared; "what
d'you want?"
She wanted TO run. A tear grew
slowly in her eye, and, in spite Of her,
fell on her glove as she fumbled to
get out the book.
"Come In the ofiicei" he roared
again.
Her heart leaped up and she fol-
lowed him into little cubby-hole al
most filed with one desk and table.
"See here, kid" he said, shutting
the door, II don't want no books, but
want you TO quit selling them. Can
you writer All rights let's see you"
He gave her q pen, and she wrote,
copying some signs on the wall The
ogre was watching her face.
Zine, fine" he growled. And then
she noticed that his eyes were kind
and brown, with fire that warmed
her. 'T'll give you ten a week. Just
sit right there and copy all them let
ters."
He got out pile of letters from q
dusty drawer, gave her paper and
went back into the store roaring and
swearing again Ike a shipmate. He
came in often and once or twice Het-
ty felt him looking at her, but she
copied away with q light heart and
said good night rather gayly when he
babe her go. Mrs. O'Hara and Hetty
for week talked of nothing but the
good ogre who was paying the girl
ten dollars a week for just copying
letters. But the supply of letters be-
gan to fail, and just when Hetty was
about to send her mother word and
the money TO come, gave out entirely.
For half a day then Hetty, dlspirited
at the prospect of losing what
seemed a place 80 delightful and SO
lucrative, sat moping at her table.
She could hear the ogre roaring in
the cayelike aisles Of his store. Above
her sounded the thump of many feet.
Then the door swung and her rough
but kind employer strobe in.
"Hetty," he growled Che always
tried to speak gently to herr, "there
amt any more letters to copy" Her
hand shook and there was lump in
her throat as he went on, a little
softly as If TO ease the blow; "be-
sides, don { want you here. want
you up at my house. want you to
marry me-"
They had been married a week and
day when he explained her question
thus:
Because, first, you had the nerve
TO try to sell NE book; second, be-
cause you're the first decent girl /
ever saw that didn't try to lecture me
about cursiDg, and, third"
But the ogre's other reasons for
loving Hetty would make the story
too long.-John II. Raftery, in Chica-

CHE came up from Granville, or
- some other small town in southern
illinois. to establish herself in Chi
.ago. She wasa determined little wom-
an. for all her tenderness, quite con-
WINGED that strong will and a stout
heart were better In the long run than
experience or beauty. She wasn't
pretty, but she had a comeliness that
somes of great gray eyes, frank
mouth, a mass of dark brown hair and
the understandable quality Of courage
that is written on the brow Of every
good woman.
As she watched the shanties Of South
Chicago fit past the car window she
began TO put on her wraps and fix her
little satcheL Murphysboro thus far

she was afraid the train would run
past Chicago before she could alight.
And the poor little woman wondered
first and then grew fearful of city so
big and dark that the train took an
hour to penetrate IT, and then the sun
could hardly pierce the curtains OF
smoke and fog that wayered and rolled
sky-high in all directions. She went
to breakfast in a cafe near the sta
lion, and turned pale when dapper
waiter charged her 30 cents for baked
apple, two eggs and q cup Of coffee.
She knew what such things cost in
Granville, and dim, hesitant fear be-
gan TO take hold of her. When she
had wandered into the maelstrom of
state street and stood in a doorway,
wondering where was the fire to and
from which million people seemed to
be rushing, terror indeed seized her
heart. The buzz of traffic and the in
sessant clang of harsh gongs seemed
to shake the ground beneath her, the
air was vibrant with a noise all rau-
,ous, men and women jostled her, and
tor awhile she stood trembling and
wishing that she had stayed at home
with her old mother.
The thought gave back her courage,
and she dared ask policeman for
directions to a car that would take her
to Mrs. O'Hara. The big fellow, with
impressive majesty, waved back lum-
boring truck that was bearing down
upon her. How grand he was, thought
Hetty, another Joshua at Ajalon. She
lad to shout TO make him hear, but he
told her where TO go, and within an
hour she was safe in the humble little
Dat of old Mrs. o'Hara. The good wom-
an made Hetty drink another cup Of
coffee, laughed at her astonishment,
talked lovingly of the good old mother
at Granville, and so cheered and heart
sned her guest that Hetty began 20 sus-
pect time might come when she would
like Chicago.
