Thank Pe.ru.na for Their
Recovery After Years OF
Suffering.

Miss Muriel Armitage, 80 Green

Organizer of the Royal Templars OF
Temperance, in recent letter, says:
II think that a woman naturally
shrinks from making her troubles
public. but restored health has meant
SO much to me that feel for the
sake of other suffering women 1t IS
my duty to tell what Peruna mas
done for me.
II suffered for five years with
uterine irregularities, which brought
on hysteria and made me physical
wreck. I tried doctors from the dill
ferent schools of medicine, but with
out any perceptible change in my
condition. In my despair l called on
an old nurse, who advised me to try
Peruna, and promised'good results II
I would persist and take it regularly.
thought this was the least I could
do, and procured a bottle. I knew as
soon as began taking it that it was
affecting me differently from any
thing / had used before, and so /
kept on taking it. kept this up Tor
six months, and steadily gained
strength and health, and when had
used fifteen bottles I considered my
self entirely cured. I am grateful,
happy woman to-day. Miss Muriel
Armitage.
Peruna cures catarrh Of the pelvic

has become renowned as positive
cure for female ailments simply be-
cause the ailments are mostly due
to catarrh. Catarrh is the cause OK
the trouble. Peruna cures the ca

Berlin, Dec. 4.-Chancellor Won Bue-
low, as the emperor's representative,
opened the reichstag in the white hall
OF the palace Thursday.
In reading the emperor's message to
parliament the chancellor said:
"His majesty has directed me to ex-
press here his thanks to all those who
have sympathized with his sufferings
and to say that their sympathy and
hopes for his recovery have greatly re-
joiced him."
The chancellor then passed to the
economic state of the country, which,
he said, still suffered somewhat from
the worldwide depression which was un-
favorably affecting the imperial
finances. Emphasizing the ever-in-
creasing necessity for regulating the
financial relations of the empire with
the separate states. the chancellor re-

work without the greatest exhaustion.
This is very common sight and is al
most always due to pelvic catarrh.
1t is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after year with q
disease that can be. permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It
cures old chronic cases as well as a slight
attack, the only difference being in the
length of time that it should be taken
to effect cure.
II you do not derive prompt and salts
factory 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 ad-
vice gratis.

Catarrh of any organ, If allowed to

Catarrh without nervousness is very

view
When once look down from the top of
the tree.
Some climb pretty swiftly and others are
slow,
But few Of the climbers are stopping to
rest,
All breathless and struggling still upward

To where high above, is the fruit OF the

And the ones who climb hardest are those

Which is really as strange as a thing may

When Mrs. Presley entered the room,
Treviston was standing before an open
window, looking out into the dusk. He
turned at the sound Of her step. and came
forward with outstretched hands.
"Only year." he said, "but it has
seemed like a century,"
She motioned him to chair, and took
the one opposite. "A Alifetime, Dick, she
returned, with faint smile. "and, oh,
how have missed you; how I have want
ed you!"
"T've been away-very far away" he
explained, ''since that day-the day you
were taken ill-the day we we're to have
commenced a new life-together. But
now" He broke off and the light came
to his eyes, deeply.
''Now," she took up his words quickly,
"now we are back again to the old bitter
problem. In spite of times perspective.
these things seldom change" In her
voice was little tremor of Joy, despite
the assumption of regret. She regarded
him, tentatively.
Treviston leaned close to the woman.
and again took her hands in his, press
ing them softly between his cold fingers.
There is no bitter problem, Kate; only
life and hope and love-always."
For long time Mrs. Presley did not
speak; words seemed out of place to
her now. At last she glanced up, two
glowing points of color in her cheeks pro-
ducing an almost unnatural contrast to
the rest Of the face, grown, in the past
year, transparency pale.
For the first time, Treviston noticed
that she was wearing all black, and a
sudden, inexplicable uneasiness swept
over him.
'Why do you wear those clothes?" he
asked, abruptly.
Mrs. Presley WINGED, as though under
a probe, and flash Of tears for mo-
ment made her eyes misty. Her glance
fell away from his In the pause that fol-
lowed.
Surely" she faltered, 'you know
you have heard-that my husband"
She broke off, struggling for self-mas-
terry.
Treviston went white, white as the
shirt he wore No, he said, he had not
heard. AS a matter Of fact. his steam
er had but just arrived; he had seen
no one that he knew. He stared at her
stupidity, as he made the announcement.
Mrs Presley was regarding him with
darkened eyes. Her lids contracted as
the lids of one in sudden pain.
Treviston shifted in his chair, holding
his glance stubbornly averted, but his
consciousness did not escape the ver-
dict of her eyes.
He rose mechanically and moved over
to the mantel. For second he stood
staring oddly at the face of a tiny Delft
clock.
A silence, charged with fierce mental
struggle, fell between them. At last
Mrs. Presley left her seat and crossed tho
room to his side. The lines about hee
eyes and mouth had deepened for life
time.
"Good-by," she said. with a sort Of
strange calm, "good-by for all time. I
might have known this, Dick; surely
might have known!" The lips that
framed the words were as bloodless as
the white rose at her throat.
The sweat broke out on Treviston's
face. When he had collected himself, be
put out his hand, blindly. .'Katherine!"
he cried.
She turned and looked at him curious
ly, and a certain hardness came into her
face.
A moment later, the door closed noise
lessly behind her.

any better of. oh, don't think have
not tried to imagine-to make 1t other
visa! The whole thing is trite, Dick;
we both know perfectly well what the re"
suit would be-" she finished, duly.
"Tr1te; that's just It. You lack the
courage, you women, the courage of your
honest inclinations." He spoke almost
fierceIy, but presently softened and went
on in a low tone: "You are sure, Kate,
are you not. that we would be happy
together?"
For time, perhaps"
He bent to look into her face, forcing
the>appeal of his eyes upon her. "And for
"a little time-just- little year-or
week-or hour in the calendar Of love
what would all eternity matter?"
The woman began to tremble as she
listened. DON'T" she said, chokingly,
thrusting out hand, as though to ward
off physical blow.
They moved on in silence for several
minutes. Treviston was the first to
speak.
"Ishall go, then," he said, slowly, and
knowing that you do not love me, In
spite of all your protestations; or know
ing that your love, so boasted, so su-
preme''-his voice was keen with irony
ifs nothing more than-weak water!"
She burst into passionate tears, cling
ing to him in an agony Of failing strength.
II can't give you up" she said, after
awhile, calmly.
Tomorrow, then," he explained, hur-
riedly, "at ten o'clock-at this spot The
team will be waiting; there's steamer
at three; we'll have just time to catch
it."
Mrs. Presley whitened to the temples;
once she opened her lips as though to
speak, then closed them again and her
head dropped.

again be the largest amount that will be
paid to players while. the losses sus-
tanned by some of the club owners dur
ing the war might lead them TO make
the highest figures $1,000.
There is no denying the fact that the
players have reaped harvest. The ex-
pansion Of the American League was a
great boon to them. and today many are
drawing salaries that are just double
in amount what they received when the
National had the major field In it's mo-
nopolistic grasp. 1t is claimed that few
clubs viii make money this year: that
quite a few will lose heavily: that the
preservation OF the game demands that
salaries be reduced and that both or
CARNATIONS see the urgent necessity of
such action. The signing of national
agreement between the American and
National Leagues will reduce baseball
conditions to about the same plane as
they were when the American entered
the field as a major organization. It's

ests of the two bodies to a greater ex-
tent than even the peace agreement rat

NEW YORK REMNANT OF
SO FOUND IN CHICAGO
Pathetic Reminder of Memorable
Struggle.

CHICAGO, June 15.-An old pennant
about which is clustered a baseball
legend Of exceeding interest to Chicago
ans, has just been dug up out OF dust
and obscurity by Charles H. Kuhn. the
ground keeper at the West Side baseball
park Its discovery at thIs time is very
aDropos. and the story of how it hap
pened to be In Chicago and the events
in connection with its being here is told
with zeal by the veteran ground keeper.
The flag was made In New York in
1885 1t was brought here In September
Of that year by the New York club.
when 1t came on to the West expecting
fully to wrest the championship OF the
National League from the then famous
Chicago team. at the head OF which was
Capt. Adrian c. Arson. The champion
ship depended upon the final series OF
games between the New York and the
Chicago clubs. Chicago was slightly in
the lead. and 1t was necessary for New
York to win three out OF four games in
order to capture the championship. This
they fully expected TO do, but they did
not. Chicago taking the entire SERIES.
New York came here with much pomp.
The team had a special car, the finest
that could be obtained. The banner was
carried on top OF the car. a flagstaf
holding 1t near the. center.
When the team reached Chicago the
players marched through the streets
carrying the banner out in front. where
band was playing. They went to the
baseball park Haunting 1t, but when
they went away they left It there, and
the ground keeper found II by accident.
The first game OF the series was played
September 6. 1885. Mccormick pitched
for Chicago and Welch for New York
The score was to 4. in Chicago's favor.
The second game was played September
| z. with Flynn in the box for Chicago
against Tim Keefe for New York The
score was IL to IL In favor OF Chicago.
Two games were played on September s.
In the first game Keefe pitched for New
York and Flynn for the home team. Chi
caEo won again. to 4.
Welch pitched for New York in the
second game and Mccormick for Chicago.
The score was II to 3. Chicago winning
again The teams were made up OF the
following famous players:
Chicago - FLYNN. Kelly. Dalrymple.
Burns. Clarkson. Sunday. Flint. Pfeffer.
Arson. Williamson. Gore. Ryan. McCOr-
! mick and Noodle.
New York - Ewing. Ward. Conner.
Gillespie, Dorgan. Esterbrook. Richard
son, Welch. Gerhardt, Keeft and

.GEORGETONN'S CREW
LIGHT BUT MUSCULAR
Decided Improvement No
ticeable Lately.

Throughout the past two weeks the
Georgetown varsity crew has shown a
marked Improvement In its work. For
several days after the shakeup, made
when the crews returned from Annapolis,
the boat did not travel on her keel, nor
did the men row together. But IN the
long rows twice a day In the past ten
days the crew has shaken together well.
and the time is good. Throughout the
boat there is better swing, the men
reaching out farther and rolling their
hands out smoothly on the recovery. The
men are getting a good leg drive.
On the catch there is still tendency
to pull before the oar is well anchored,
causing a slight kIckback Of the boat.
just before the oars catch the water.
The men are rounding down to the water
on the catch. however. much better
than they did a week ago. and this kick
back at the start OF the stroke should
be eliminated before the race on the 25th.
The recovery is smooth, the hands are
shot away quickly. the shoulders follow,
and then the slides. without a break.
The slides run slowly and at the same
rate OF speed all the way down to the
catch This slow recovery gives the
boat a chance to run well between
strokes. An encouraging feature Is that
the lap OF the boat holds good when the
stroke Is raised to 80 and "a. In a four
mile race this slow recovery, permitting
the boat to run we'll between strokes. is
invaluable. and though the slides and
oars never stop moving the men are able
to get little rest between strokes.
The stroke is longer in the water and
the men are getting more out Of II to-
day. but there is still a tendency TO
wash out at the finish. and so doing TO
lose the last bit of the drive. not TO
mention throwing up good deal OF wa
ter. II is perhaps In the attempt 10 get
their hands away quickly that the men
cut of their finish.
AS the crew rows today II averages
about 15s pounds. which is light for a
varsity crew. What the men lack in
weight, however, they make I'D in dash.
They are sinewy rather than muscular.
and in their trial rows have shown good
endurance. Forr times the coach. Demp-
sey. has sent the crew over the four
mile course. and it is understood that
fast time has been made.

Board of Arbitration.

A board OF arbitration would be ore
Of its logical sequences. Such a body
will be found to be an urgent necessity,
for already clubs of both leagues are
angling for the same men. and an ar
bitter of these contentious will be obliged
to award players claimed by the differ
ent clubs.
The players will be powerless to fight
the salary reduction. They will have
no alternative other than to play or take
up some other business. The existence
OF two major leagues at peace makes
this hard fact. Another league is i'm
possible. and a brotherhood movement
impracticable. Strikes. labor unions OF
their own protective association will
avail them nothing, and next year it will
be necessary for them TO play at a re-
duced wage or quit the game.
