A well-kn0wn uptown man, a lover
of fine horsefeSh, saw a fine buggy
horse which he thought he wanted.
He located the owner and asked the
price. Zone hundred dollars" was the
reply. After looking the animal over
and trying her speed he concluded it
was q good trade, and wrote out a
check for the amount. The next day
he found that the mare was blind, but
this did not hinder her speed, OF de-
tract from her general appearance.
He drove the animal for several weeks
and succeeded in attracting the at
tention of another lover of horses, who
made a proposal to buy.
"Well," said the owner, 81 gave 500
for her. but I'll let you have her for
$125 if you want to buy"
After looking her over and taking a
short ride behind her the man decided
to buy. He paid over the money and
took the mare. When the animal was
Embarrassed the first thing she did
was to run against a post; then, by
way of emphasizing the fact that she
was blind she fell over a barrel. The
next day the buyer came back with

PROMINENT CHURCH WORKER SAYS
She OWES HER LIFE TO PE-RU-NA,
HER GREAT FORTUNE
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

A woman confined to the house for sew
eral years with a chronic female derange-
ment had finally given up hope OF being
cured.
She had tried physician after physician,
and remedy after remedy, without any
permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband
who was a poor man hundreds of dollars.
They had been obliged to denv themselves
many comforts Of life in order to get
money enough to pay the physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children were grow
ing up neglected and ragged, because of
the want Of a mothers care. Her hus-
band was becoming discouraged and bro
ken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that DR.. Hartman would treat
such cases free Of charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp-
toms.
She soon received a letter telling her
exactly what to dc, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the
treatment 1.-THE principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in few weeks she
was well and strong again, able to do her
own work.

women is still open to all who may need
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment viii be
promptly answered, and be held strictly
confidential.
Miss Annie Hoban, Post ~Pocahontas of
Yemassee Council of Red Men (Women's
Branch, writes from 872 Eighth Ave-,
New York:
Three months ago I was troubled with
backache and a troublesome heaviness
about the stomach. Sleep brought me no
rest, for it was a restless sleep. The doc
tor said my nervous system was out Of or
der, but his prescriptions didn't seem to
relieve me. / was told that Peruna was
good for building up the nervous system.
After using it for two months | know
now that it is. | want to saw that it made
a new woman of me. The ~torturing symp-
toms have all disappeared and I feel my.
self again. Peruna did me more good than
all the other medicines ] have taken"

Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles,
Louisiana, writes:
81 sincerely believe that Peruna is wotu-
ans best friend, for it has certainly been
that to me. I had had headaches, back
aches and other aches every month for q
long time, but shortly after I began tax
ing Peruna this was a thing of the past,

Americans.

Among the ancient peoples none were
more curious than the Americans.
Their god was~Noise.
The worship of Noise was very SINH.
lar to the worship Of Moloch, practiced
In still more remote times, for both
consisted mostly in the sacrifice OF
children.
Beginning each year with the sum.
mer solstice, it was the custom Of the
American children to main themselves
in honor of the god Noise.
Some enthusiasts carried the orgy to
such lengths that they died. This was
called Tetanus.
There were Americans who did not
believe in the god Noise, as there were
skeptics and infidels in all ages.-Del

DISASTER IN NEW YORK TUNNEL.
The Worst Accident That Has Happened
in Rapid Transit Subway.

New York City.-In the worst acct
dent that has occurred in the building
OF the rapid transit tunnel ten men,
most of them Italian laborers, were
killed by a cave-in following a blast.
Many tons of rock fell in in a length
Of thirty feet, about two blocks below
where the tunnel comes out on the
surface level at the junction Of Nagie,
Eleventh and Speedway avenues, just
north of Fort George.
Work has been going on night and
day On this section, which Contractor
Mcdonald recently took over from Sub
Contractor McCabe. A night shift of
twenty men was at work at a heading
pushing the tunnel south, the bore
having been begun at the north end.
According to one. of the men, a light
blast was set off to displace a few tons
Of rock. Nearly fifteen minutes after
ward the top and sides of the tunnel
fell in for a distane of about thirty
feet to the north Of the heading, bury
ing the workmen and almost COM
pletely blocking the way Of escape to
the north.

Thief Cieyerness.

A magistrates clerk has been known
to have his tie pin stolen while in
court, and n in Birmingham a few
years ago lost his coat in the same
way; but a more remarkable example
perhaps, of a thief's cleverness under
the very eyes Of the police was that OF
the burglar at Clerkenwell, who man
aged to conceal two diamond rings
while the police were searching him
and passed one of them to his wife in
the cell while the police were look.
ing on The rings were ander his
tongue, and n of them passed from
his mouth to his wife's when he was
kissing her goodbye.

A NEW BRITISH AMBASSADOR.
Sir Mortimer Durand Succeeds Sir Michael


L~ondon.-Sir Henry Mortimer Dur.
and has been appointed British Ambas.
sador to the United States to succeed
the late Sir Michael Herbert. His
appointment astonishes diplomatic cir
cles, since Sir Mortimer, as he is called,
having dropped the Henry, is not a
Foreign Office man.
He was imported into the diplomatic
service from the Indian civil service,
where he attained a high position. Sir
Mortimer was a protege of the late
Lord Salisbury, whose exalted opinion
of his diplomatic skill was based on his
conduct with Russia in the delicate
matter Of the Afghan boundary delim-
itation.
His father was an eminent general
in India, but Durand has none OF the
social pull which tells so largely in de-
termining big diplomatic appointments.
He has often expressed a great liking
for Americans. He has a wife and
daughter.

Marion. Ind.-Jesse Mcclure, a farm
hand, murdered his two sons, aged five

candy to take a ride with him. He
drove a mile up the road and then car

shot them with revolver. The older
one was found dead a few minutes
later and the younger was dying with
a piece of the candy in his month.
Mcclure told the Jail turnkey that he
killed the children because his wife
