This catch is formed as shown in the
illustration. The catch consists Of q
double spur, the upper one being held
by the ring fastened to the end Of the
rope as shown. It is released by a pull
on the guide rope, this rope serving also
to draw down the catch for the next
lift.
The driver may be log of heavy wood
bound with iron rings to add to its
weight. and If the weight needs increas-
ing the driver is bored in ths center and
the hole filed with lead. Che weight
Of it is further increased by heavy iron
rings around 1t. It should not be of a
less weight than $50 pounds for common
work. but may be easily increased in
weight by adding more Of the binding
rings. The two center posts are the
guides, and each has two scantlings
bolted or spiked to it to secure the driver
safely. The driver is SO made that it
slides in these grooves easily, the mo-
ton being aided by the use of any lubri-
cant. such as common axle grease. 1t
will be an additional security to pass
two iron bands around them, which are
bolted to the outside, and 30 bent as to
afford easy passage through them of the
driver. The driver has suitable catch
by which it is held in the hook, and the
weight of the driver is firmly supported
by the form of these clips, which slope
inward little SO that some force is re-
quired to spread them by the guides at
the top. which engage with the curved
catch. A pulley is fitted to the bottom OF
the frame, and the hosting rope passes
through this pulley and hooks to the
double-tree attached to the harness.
The draft rope is drawn down after
the driver falls by the light cord, as the
horses are backed to the original place,
and another blow is given. This kind
Of machine is used for driving or Dor
ing wells, but when rows of posts or
piles are driven the supports are fitted

may be moved on rollers, put under
the stills and plank roadway made for
the machine to move on. It is COM
mon practice to have these rollers made
with holes at the ends so that they may
be turned and moved by means of bars
or hand spikes. OF course when work
Is being done the bottom frame is solid
~ secured SO that 1t cannot be misplaced
by the draft rope as it raises the driver.

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost

A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clearhead,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later converse
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

opposition and has won its way to the hearts
of the people. The natural timidity which
so many people have felt about giving en-
dorsements to any remedy is giving way.
Gratitude and desire to help others has
inspired thousands of people to give public
testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that so many men of national
and international reputation have been will
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to proprietary remedy. No amount
of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna has won on its own merits.
Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or
location in the human body. That is why it
receives so many notable and unique en-
dorsements.
