After the fight was over, besides

SAVED NY LIFE"
Women Made Strong and Happy
Mothers.
Catarrh Of the Pelvic Organs Is a
Frequent Cause Of Barrenness.
Pe-ru-na Eradieates Catarrh From
the System.

ITO the woman of ancient Israel not 10
become mother was regarded as
the greatest OF earthly calamities
To become mother-more especially the
mother of a strong. healthy boy-was the
height of glory for the faithful woman of the
yood old Bible days. Even now. when ma
ernity is not esteemed as of yore. the
mother of healthy children is an object of
I'd miration. and sometimes envy, by her
leighbors. As compared with ancient
peoples, the average American woman has
l low appreciation of motherhood. There
ire, however, great many exceptions to
his statement.
The accompanying letters from grateful
women who have been made strong healthy
and happy mothers need no added words of
ours to make them convincing Catarrh had
weakened and impaired their entire systems.
Peruna made them sound and well.

Herman Shultz, farmer residing
over in the Wallis run district. says a
Forksville (Pa,) correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record. ShultZ expert
ence was with seven of the animals
half-famished. ravenous creatures that
fought him as desperately as wildcats.
The scene of Shultz' novel battle
was in a small shed in which a dozen
or more turkeys were housed Farm
ers in that section have always been
losers OF fowls because the weasels
prey upon their flocks. Shultz had
taken the precaution to protect the
corner Of his shed in which the tur-
keys roasted with a cage built of close
meshed wire, so that foraging animals
could not reach the birds. This very
cage, while it served effectively TO
protect his turkeys. came near being
the undoing of Shultz himself.
One of the coolest nights of last
winter Shultz was awakened by hear
ing a terrible commotion in his turkey
house. The peculiarly distressing
piping of the hen turkeys told Shultz'
practiced ear that an enemy was in
sight. Shultz went to the shed with a
lantern, arming himself en- route with
mixing paddle used to prepare food
fer the pigs-a hickory stick about
two inches thick and eighteen inches
long. When he entered the shed the
rays of the lantern as he held it alost
disclosed a half dozen or more weas-
els scouting about over the wire
frame.
Shultz struck one of the weasels
with his cudgel Gripping il little,
Instantly the little animal attacked
him like a furious cat, squealing. bit

There was the difference of two

you've got worms enough, though, my
boy?' said he.
"Oh, plenty said l. starting to get
my fishpole.
And you're sure the trout are
biting good?' said Uncle Job.
They never bit better,' said l.
All right. then said Uncle job.
That being the case. | guess I'll take
the pole and the worms and go down
to the creek and see what luck III
have. You just go on planting taters
as if wasn't here, and get in as many
as you can, for it's a good day for
planting, and he took the worms and
the pole and went fishing.
II was a little set back OF course,
but couldn't help but admire the pre-
ponderance of the business idea in
Uncle Job. 1t wasn't fishing that he
cared so much about. 1t was the get.
ting in of the taters, and you will no.
tice that he did not make up his mind
to go fishing until he found | could
