Hotel and Did Not Return

A Londoner recently walked into
the Aldine hotel at Philadelphia and
handed the clerk a grip which, he
said, contained 100000. He re-
guested that it be locked up in the
safe. The next morning he drove
away and did not come back.
Proprietor William Mitchell, after
two days had gone by, opened the
grip. He found wad of stock GER
tificates and bonds, the lot being
worth over a million at market
prices.
A comparison of the stock certifi-
Gates showed they were made out in

him. As result he has received a
check from the owner of the secur-
tiles, who is now in New York. and
request that the S1,000,000 valise

oPEN-HEARTED PEOPLE.
Well Treated by the HOspit-
able Natives.

In the ShetlandS one is always well
come to rest by the fire and cup of
bland-fermented buttermilk whey
and, except where the people are ex-
ceedingly poor, tea with scenes or bis
cult is usually offered. Kindly and
open-hearted as the people are, the
slightest breach of patronage or con-
descension puts them into a state of
proud reserve that is not easily broken.
They will confer any number of IA
vors; to accept them is always little
difficult, says the Detroit Free Press.
They live in most patriarchal man
ner-three or four generations in one
house. The younger men are usual
ly sailors or fishermen; the elder men
and the women manage the croft. As
Plows are unknown, they 'dell' the
ground with spades before sowing
their little crops of oats and barley.
The hay and grain are cut sometimes
with scythe quite often with a
small siekle-methods that involve
hard labor even on a croft of from
two to four acres. The drying hay
is protected from the wind by con
demned herring nets and is carried
to the stack in rope creels. Peats are
cut in the spring and dried all sum
mer out on the moors and carried
home in kesshies (baskets) of straw
or dock slung across the shoulders.
Inc women bring home most of the
Peats and are commonly to be met
with bent under towers several feet
high, but often singing and always

Catauh OF the Stomach is Generally

ton is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pep5in, PanCreatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Have Been Invented,
These Remedies Do Not Reach the

is Really Catarrh,

Tx. u. s. Senator NJ. G. Butler, from
T. South Carolina, was Senator from that

The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washing

have been using your medicine for
a short period and feet very much
relieved. n Is indeed a wonderful
medicine besides d good tonic. "---
VI. G. butler
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures ca
tarrh. PerUna does not produce artificial
digestion 1t cures cafarrh and leaves the
stomach to perform digestion in a natural
way. This is vastly better and safer than
resorting to artificial methods
Peruna has cured more cases OF dyspep-
STA than all other remedies combined, sim
ply because it cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. If catarrh is located in the head
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened
itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Pc
runa cures it. When catarrh becomes set
tied in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as
well in this location as in any other.
Peruna Is not simply a remedy for dys-
pepsia Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Pc
Euna cures dyspepsia because it is gener-
ally dependent upon catarrh.
