Cents

Eight cents a pound is
what young woman paid for
twelve pounds of flesh.
She was thin and weak and
paid one dollar for a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion, and by TAX
ing regular doses had gained
twelve pounds in weight before
the bottle was finished.
Eight cents a pound is
cheap for such valuable ma
terial. Some pay more, some
less, some get nothing for
their money. You get your
moneys worth when you buy

Letter to George Cady.


Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like
the tale, how a woman beat two hard
ware dealers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men
to sell Devoe lead and-zinc in that
bright town; and failed. Reluctant
ly took Mrs. E. r. Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint
for more than $1.2 a gallon. Mrs.
Bowman can. She has sold about all
the paint, that has been sold there
since,.
She knew Devoe; had sold our art
ists' materials. Had some sense and
force, besides; she easily learned that
cheap is dear in paint, and told the
people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought a gallon
Devoe for rooms that had always taken
gallon; had half left.
Mr.. E. H. Hiler, jeweler, painted
Devoe, and says it goes further-no
particulars.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, thought it
expensive before he bought it; brought
back nearly half of his paint, and said
it was the cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal sat
lsfaction. So much for cheap paint
town with bright woman in it.
Yours truly,
+. w. DRvoR q Co.,

The Monument wa. a Misat.

A stately granite shaft had been
erected in the cemetery of a Massa-
chusetts town In memory of a man
whose life had been anything but
praiseworthy. None the less the monu-
ment was one of the sights to be shown
to a stranger, and one day former
resident Of the town who had been
away for many years returned and was
taken to see the granite Obelisk. He
was no stranger to the faults and fail

Marcus Ulpius Nerva Trajanus, the
Trajan Of Roman biography and one
of ROme'S most renowned emperOrs.
constructed or was responsible for the
construction of three Of the most re-
the Christian era-Trajan's column,
Trajan's wall and Trajan's floating
palace. History is full of accounts
concerning the two former, but the last
seems to have been pretty generally
overlooked by the early as well as the
later cleaners of rare and curious in
formation. The monk Bartemius. who
mentions it in his "Ecclesiasto." says
that it was constructed and purposely
sunken in Lake Nemi, an arch tunnel
allowing communication with the
shore. In this case it would certainly
have gone into history as "Trajan's
sunken palace" instead of floating
palace"
1t is generally believed, Bartemius to
the contrary, that it was originally an
imperial palace intended for the use Of
the emperor and his family during their
summer excursions. on Lake Nemi.
Another faction of antiquarians are of
the opinion that it was not built dur
ing the lifetime of Trajan. Southwick
says that it was sunk in the year 1875
A. D., seventy eight years after the
death of the emperor for which it was
named. March,, who explored it in a
diving suit OH July 10. 1885, declared it
to be in good state of preservation;
also that it was 500 feet long, 27O feet

Many people to this day have a su-
perstitious dread of wearing opals. be
cause they really believe i'll luck is at
tached to this beautiful stone. Three
centuries ago the opal was an exceed
lngly fashionable gem. and the Italian
goldsmiths particularly favored its Use
for their most exquisite settings.
The opal was at the height of its pop
ularity when the plague broke out In
Venice. Some especially observant In
dividual discovered that when plague
stricken sufferer was at the point Of
death the opal, If he wore one. would
grow brighter. and after Ms death 1t
would grow dull. The reason for this
appears to have been that the burning
fever warmed the stone and that after
death the damp and chill of the body
dulled it, But many deduced from this
a belief that it was the opal that had
brought death and misfortune. and
with the spread of this superstition the
opal declined in popular favor.
Many persons would on no account
whatever even accept one as gift.

Animal intelligence. though not nee
essarily higher in degree when they are
acting as our servants and not for their
own ends. is then very much more eaSi-
ly approached and understood by us.
The point" Is curious example of
an action in which instinct and reason
meet. The stopping Of the dog, howev-
er it began, has by training and heredi-
ty become instructive. The dog, even
when quite puppy, stops when 1t
smells the game and remains almost
paralyZed. it's impulse to rush in 8pd
seize it being checked by strong in
stinct to stand still. Yet the dog, after
he had accompanied his master and
had game shot over him, is quite
aware that he is half controlled "me-
dium," and while still under the domi-
mating pointing" instinct will look
round imploringly to his master to urge
him to hurry up If the scent tells him
that the birds are moving. A border
line action Of different kind Is the
squatting of young birds. 1t is per-
fectly reasonable precaution. Keeping
still and lying low are not characteris-
tics peculiar only to Brer Rabbit, but
it is most remarkable to see the way
in which tiny peewits or little teal,
hardly bigger than a fluffy bee, lie
down, put their little chins fat on the
ground and remain mOtionless for min
utes to avoid being seen.

gathering of her proteges when she espied
a masculine acquaintance who had, on a pre-

her work, and invited him TO accompany
her. He accepted, and they travelled down
lanes and through byways heretofore un,
known to him. In one of the narrowest and
most crowded streets in downtown quar-.
ter the fair philanthropist, stopped TO pay
a visit. When she entered the cab again the

Catarrh Of the Stomach Is Generally
Called Dyspepsia. Something to
Produce Artificial Digestion
Is Generally Taken.
Hence. Pepsin. Panueatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat
Of the Difficulty, Which is
Really Catarrh. 81

Tx. u. S. Senator NJ. C. Butler from
II South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In n re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, d. c., says:
"Ican recommend Pernna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. I have
been using your medicine for short
period and feel very much relieved.
Ii Is indeed q wonderful medicine be-
sides good ionic. ".--M. c. Butler
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. Itcures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods.
Peruna has cured moro cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. Ifcatarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as we'll in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is n catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it il

WOULDN'T THANK MILES.
Neither President Nor Secretary of War
Favorably Commented on the Retire.
ment of the Veteran Commander.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The retirement
ofGen. Miles was announced in the same
perfunctory manner that the retire.
ment of a lieutenant or captain would
be promulgated. Under the circum-
stances the failure of the president or
secretary of war to comment on Gen.
Miles retirement must inevitably pro-
woke widespread comment. The whole
subject was thoroughly discussed by
the president and Secretary Root
weeks ago and in army circles the Cos
sips have freely predicted that no COM
plimentary paragraphs would creep
into the army orders pertaining to the
etirement.
While the distinguished services OF
Gen. Miles in the great war of the re-
bellion and subsequently in affairs
against hostile Indians were given due
consideration and both the president
and Secretary Root place high esti-
mate upon them. 1t was felt that, in
view of the relations that have existed
between the lieutenant general and the
commander-in-chief and secretary OF
war covering the period since the dec
iaration of war against Spain, the exec
utive could not consistently publish to
the army an order complimentary to
the retiring lieutenant general. There
fore, after careful elaboration 1t was
decided to adhere to the rigid rule Of
the service, and issue the usual order
promulgated upon the retirement OF
officers for age of whatever rank.

DURBIN COMMENDED.
President Roosevelt Writes Letter to
Indiana Governor on Lynching.
He Severely Condemns Mob Law. hut De-
clares Swift Punishment Must BE
Dealt to Those Guilty Of
Heinous Grimes.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 1O.-In q
long letter, the publication Of which
was authorized yesterday, President
Roosevelt commends Gov. Durbin, Of
Indiana. for the attitude he assumed
recently respecting lynching. The
president also embraces the opportu-
nifty to express his own views in refer
ence to lynching and mot violence
generally, saying mob violence is
one form of anarchy and that
anarchy is a forerunner of tyranny.
The president vigorously urges that
the penalty for crimes that induce a
resort to lynching shall be applied
swiftly and surely, but by due process
of the courts, SO that it may be
deemed strictly that the law is ade-
Quate to deal with crime by freeing it
from every vestige of technically and
delay. The president says:
Men who have been guilty of q
crime like rape or murder should be
visited with swift and certain punish
ment and the just effort made by the
courts to protect them in their rights
should under no circumstances be
perverted into permitting any mere
technically to avert or delay their
punishment. The substantial rights OF
the prisoner to fair trial must OF
course be guaranteed, as you have so
justly insisted that they should be
made subject to this guarantee, the
law must work swiftly and surely and
all the agents of the law should real
lie the wrong they do when they per-
NIT justice to be delayed or thwarted
for technical or insufficient reasons.
We must show that the law Is ade-
cuate to deal with crime by freeing 1t
from every yestige Of technicality and
delay"
