Dr. Hartman received the fol- V lowing letter:
 "My wife had been suffering from complication of diseases for the past 25 years.
 'Her case had baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years stand ing.
 "She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman--change of life. In June, 1895, I wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Mana lin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wonder full remedies.
 "About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of 25 years standing. At times l was almost past going. l com menced to use Peruna according to your instructions, and continued it's use for about year, and it has completely cured me.
 "Your remedies do aH that you claim for them, and even more. Cafarrh cannot exist where Peruna is taken according 10 directions. Success to you and your remedies. John o. Atkinson.
Newport weekly independent., 1903-01-02

Tn a letter dated January 1, 1900s MT. Atkinson says, after five years" experience with Peruna:
 "IwiHev continue 10 speak good word for Peruna In my rounds as . travelling man am walking adver- isemenf for Peruna and have induced many people during the past year fo use Peruna with fhe most satisfactory results. lam still cured of cafarrh. "
 John o. Atkinson,
 Box 272, Independence, Mo- When old age comes on, catarrhal diseases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people.
 This explains why Peruna has be- come so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly.
 Such cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but an effective systemic rem. edy could cure them. This is exactly what Peruna is.
 If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Why lie is a Bachelor.

The editor of the LAGRANGE
Indicator is a handsome baChe E
Tor something less than forty
years old. and is a young man
who has hitherto eXcelled
many OF his bachelor friends in
prudence and sobriety. He has
been guilty of gross imprudence
and lack of foresight that wa S
rash and ineXCusable as a deed
that is characteristic only Of
confirmed old bachelors who
are always pulling the wrong
string and FORGETTING the best
opportunity to become bene-
diets. According to the Iudica.
tor, here is what Bro. Nolen
said he did:
Men should be careful about
how they pull at some things
the women wear on their heads
this winter. This week we saw
something hanging down on a
young lady's shoulder, and Civ,
ing it a pull, we found long
yarn concern in onr hands. AS
a consequence we got our ears
slapped by the young lady just
because, as she said, we had
pulled off her stocking. 1t look
ed like she had got it on up
side down and put the garment
GU the wrong end. We wonder
ed where her hat was"
Anybody that knows a thing
about modern ladies' headgeaI
will see at glance thai
the garment Nolen was pulling
at was not d stocking, but q
kiss me quick and that he
pulled the wrong string. NJ
one can blame the young lady
for becoming indignant at hi:
failure to grasp the situation
He should not have been SC
foolish as to pull little thread
but acted in harmony with the
suggestion the garment always
carries.
The Indicator man has no on,
but himself to blame that Ii,
has so long remained bache

LYNCHING IN MISSOURI
Victim of a Mob Shot and Killed White
Farmer.

Poplar Bluff, Mo, Jan. o.
Andy Clark, colored, was
lynched at Leeper. a small town
north of here Wednesday night.
Last Monday Clark and James
Herman, a white farmer about
60 years of age, became involv.
ed in a quarrel about some
land.
They quarrelled for some
time. Clark finally left the old
man and went to his home,
about a quarter of a mile away,
procured a shotgun, returned
to Herman's home, and, calling
him to the door, shot his head
almost off by emptyiug both
barrels of the gun at his victim.
Clark escaped and eluded his
pursuers until late Wednesday
afternoon, when he was cap
tured in the swamps east OF
! Leeper and was placed in the
village calaboose. About 6
O'Clock Wednesday night moi
of about seventy men battered
in the prison door, took the
trembling negro to a nearby
tree and hanged him.

WHEN SHORT ON
Refinement, Men Become Monkeys For
For the Lack Of 1t.

In response to an insisted and
pointed inquiry from "Old Sub
scribers." The Washington
Post filings all delicate reserve
asides and declares:
1t is difficult to imagine a
a question as to which there
need be less doubt. In our
opinion, nothing can be more
unmeaning or more senseless
than the act Of unCOvering
when a lady enters the elevator
1t is not politeness. 1t is not
courtesy. 1t does not repre-
sent any sentiment of reason,
able Difference One doesn't re
move his hat when a lady enters
the street car in which he hap.
pens to be seated. One doesn't
remove his hat when he goes
into a shop where ladies' are.
Why need lie go through this
stupid farce in an elevator. 1t
is Il public carrier. 1t is
draughty. Nowhere in the
world, rausack it as he may,
can one take cold more readil y
than in an elevator. If you
want to exhibit good manners,
give the lady room and make
her comfortable. She will ap
preCiate that much more high ly
than the hollow and artificial
ceremony of taking off your hat.
The act means nothing. 1t
rather indicates pretense OF
politeness, inspired neither by
good sense nor good feeling. A
sensible woman doesn't want
you to do it, nor will she think
better of you on that account.
A foolish woman isn't worth
your while.
Hats off in elevators? We
say so!-Tne Post might have
gone further and asked: Is
there any reason on earth a
bove it or below it, why, mar
who has heard portion of a
sermon in church give up his
seat to a woman who has spent
the morning primping. If he
gives up bis seat in church, why
does not good women require
him to do so at a theatre? O

Good Points In Dogs.

Among the many canine qualities

-four footed brothers. emphasizes
their contented resignation to the cir
cumstances of life. Dogs. he says, do
not go about trying to do good to other
dogs by urging them to bark in the
same key aid bite with the same tooth
as themselves, nor, which is merciful
provision of nature, do they become
bored by the people with whom their
lot Is cast and want to try new mas
ter every few months. Whatever the
disadvantages of their homes may be,
they stand by them and make a cheer
ful best of it. Over and again dog
puts his heart before his outraged
stomach and lets his aift ctions dOmi-
nate his indigestion rather than desert
his master for better board. Many a
master, concludes the dog champion.

The Ancient Gfrdle.

In Rome a mans investiture OF his
glrdle showed that he was intent on
work of some nature. When he took
1t OH and let his tllnic fall it was pat
ent to all that business was over and
that he was free to speak to his friends
at his and their leisure. Thus the Cir
Ole served purpose-negative in its
character, of course, but purpose new
ertheless. Its sphere of usefulness did
not end here. 1t was figurative OF
property. When a man or woman put
OIL his or her girdle it was a token Of
remuneration Of some right or privilege.
The widow of Philip L., duke of Bur-
gundy, for instance, renowned her
right OF succession by putting off her
glrdle on the dukes tomb" Per con-
ira. the princes of Ireland in taking
the oath of fealty to King John, laid
aside their girdles, their skeans and
their caps. I'm the ceremony of ex-
communication" says a writer, 1.-THE
bishop cut or tore away from the cul-
prit the girdle that was about him
and the newly made husband in Rome
took from Lis wife the maiden grid
OF sleeps wool in which she was
bound up to the day of her marriage"
