He Vacation.


Judge: The summer tourist, being en-
gagged in some naturalistic pursuits,
came upon a bee which sat leisurely
on a blade Of grass and seemed per-
fectly unconcerned.
Flow now?" quoth the summer tour
list. This bellies all have read about
the busy bee"
what does:" asked the guide.
"Why, that bee on that blade Of
grass has been sitting there all morn
ing evidently and still gives no sign
OF intending to go to work"
"Oh, he doesn't have to go to work
for. some time yet" explained the
guide.
"IIe doesn't? What variety of bee
is hep
That's what they call the husking
bee. He won't have anything to do
until next fall"

safe while alone Some bank official
must remain with him no matter how
long the job takes. That is for our
own protection. Some very queer all
legged robberies have been charged to
men sent out to open safes.
ITO mechanics in our business it is
laughable to read that full kit of
burglars tools have been found beside
safe AS 1 have said it would re-.
quire an express wagon to carry them
and burglars don't work that way. Ii
they care to take chances by blowing
up q safe with dynamite 1t is another
matter, but those fellows nearly always
get caught.
IA police officer told me that burg
lars make their own tools. The big
crooks are all spotted and are afraid
to go out and buy the material for
them. Some of them send their wives,
and children. AS a general thing they
don't work in New York. A man MAX
ing tools in a fiat or tenement would be
likely to attract attention. They get a
house somewhere in the suburbs.
Philadelphia, where they can get a
brick house for about $40 month is a
great place for Them"

A man called Major Prentiss was one
of the wealthiest and haughtiest citi-
zens of certain small eastern city
Like most naughty men he was pretty
generally hated, but, like most wealthy
men, he was pretty generally praised
to his face The two newspapers Of
the town were especially given to say
ing pleasant things about him. possibly
because he held past-due mortgage
on each of them. Indeed Major Prem
tiss was sort of bone.of contention
between the two editors. each. perhaps,
hoping the mortgage would foreclose
on the other and leave the remaining
one without a rival. Anyway, neither
newspaper ever lost an opportunity to
conatrue tho others utterances as un-
friendly to the major.
Once In tho course of heated dis
cussion, In which each was trying to
prove the others position to be inimical
to the majors financial interests one
OF the editors undertook to break down
the others argument by Analysing his
logic. After learnedly stating tho
broader clause of the syllogism, he
wrote:
This major premise is. as usual, all
wrong
/ will not attempt to describe that
writer's disgust when duplicate proof
SllpS WERE ldiu upon MS ueSk una ne
read in type the following sentence in
stead of his own:
This Major Prentss is. as usual, all
whong."
OF course he expected the proof
reader to correct the error. but he could
not resist the tempta tion to express his
opinion of the stupidity of the printer
who had made 1t. So ne snatched up a
pen and wrote in circiing parenthesis
on the margin of the proof slips as fol-
lows, save that where l use dashes he
used big, plain letters:
t'G-d id fool.')
That was several years ago, but
there are still many good pious people
in that town who treasure copies of the
paper of that day and smile over it
when they tell the story of how the
printer mistook the EDITORS duplicate
for the corrected proof slip and the pa
per went to press with the sentence re-
vised to read;
This Major Prentiss Cd id fooD
is. as usual all wrong"

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROL ina
Recommends Pe=ru=na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble
Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something
to pr0duce Artificial Diges-
tionis Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
of other Digestive Remedies
Has Beer; Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Calarrh.
NJ. s. Senator NJ. c. Butler from
r South Carolina was Senator from

~ N-U. s. Senator NJ. c. Butler from
r South Carolina was Senator from
that State for two terms. In u re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co,
from Washington, D. c., says:
Ican recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. Ihave
been using your medicine for a short
period ard feel very much relieved.
1t IS indeed wonderful medicine be.
SIDES a good tonic. III. C. Butler
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
sin is to remove the catarrh. Pcruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in n natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resortng to artificial
methods.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsa than all other remedies com
hined. simply because 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh 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
rs i'll any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Perunn cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
