LUTHER'S LUCKY penny.

J6| Luther tipped his old penny

in its downward flight. He gazed al
his closed fist in some trepdiation, ther
opened it cautiously.
Gosh! It's heads" he cried 81

But the die was cast. 1t was Luth rs
habit thus to leave matters of moment
to the decision Of his lucky penny.
He thrust the coin in his pocket and
went on brushing his hair.

TOO MUCH STRAIN.
Pope Faints While Celebrating
Mass,

Rome, Aug. l1.-Pope Plus \ had a
fainting fit this morning while cele-
brating mass. His holiness was soon
revived.
The pope has been overexerting him
self to such an extent that his natural
ly Strong constitution was unable to
bear the strain put upon it by the COR
onation ceremony. Such has been the
effect upon his nerves that he has been
unable to sleep for whole nights, while
numerous receptions yesterday made
matters worse.

First Nights in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is more like London
than any other American city in its
unmanageable gallery. Mr.. Sothern
produced THE Kings Musketeer''
there and the first performance lasted
very late. In the last intermission the
gallery boys sang, I'VE won't go home
until morning." and when, in tie final
act, the queen majestically struck a
gong, a boy called out, Heavens. it's
n o'clockr' Miss Ethel Barrymore,
who was brought up in Philadelphia
by her grandmother, the late Mrs.
John Drew, long the favorite actress
of the city, made her stellar
debut there in Captain links of the
Horse Marines" The gallery cheered
her through the performance by calling
her "Our Ethel" and reminding her at
frequent intervals that 1--WE knew your
grandmother, and you're ali right"
At the end of the play, when she led
Mr.. Fitch forth, they showed very
plainly that they didn't want him but
only their Ethel" You're plays rot
ten." they called, "but you're the real
thing, Ethel!'-Leslie's Monthly.

Ho,, TO Get strong Nerves.

First, repair the injury already done to
your nerves. The way to do this is to do
exactly as did Matte B. Curtis, Secretary
of Legion of Loyal Women, Hotel Salem,
Boston, Mass. She said in a recent letter;
Il suffered for over a year with general

bottles of Peruna, and for two months

dies"

A Spring Tonic.

Almost everybody needs a tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves, in
vigorate the brain and cleanse the blood.
That Peruna will do this is beyond all
question. Every one who has tried it has
had the same experience as Mrs. ID. w.
Undertake, of Lynehburg, Va, who, in s
recent letter, made use of the following
words: Il always take a dose of Peruna
after business hours, as it is a great thing
for the nerves. There is no better spring
tonic, and | have used about all of them"

CdtGrrh In Spring.

The spring is the best time to treat ca
tarrh. Nature renews herself every spring.
The system is rejuvenated by spring
weather. This renders medicines more eff
fective. A short course of Peruna, assisted
by the balmy air of spring, will cure old,
stubborn cases of catarrh that have resist
ed treatment for years. Everybody should
have a copy of DR.. Hartman's latest book
on catarrh. Address The Peruna Medi-
cine Co, Columbus, Ohio.

RESTLESS GIRL GRADUATES
College Girl Finds Her Services Are Not

The transition from college to the OUT:

graduate simply exchanges one wind of
organized activity for another and re-
mains free to direct her movements as
she will, writes Alice Katherine Fallows
in Good Housekeeping. But the girl who
goes home has very different problem
to meet. After the first joy of reunion
has worn off she is likely to find her re-
adjustment to the old conditions difficult.

one writer. 1t is the kind Of undiscrim

of the case. Even home trained girls who
have arrived at the years of discretion
when they are perfectly capable of man
aging a household of their own, some
times find the ssimple routine of home
life administered by some one else, I'M
satisfying, and, while living in the home,
they seek interests and activities outside
of it. On the other hand, many a college
girl is filed with enthusiasm to make her
self useful in the house. She longs to put
her hand to the pillow and test her powers
by experience. But in the orderly, we'll

need for her services. Her mother is per-
| fectly capable of managing household af-
| fairs and has no wish to resign the reins

not require her help and the rest Of the
family is quite sufficient unto itself. She
longs to do something that counts as her
