Why Both Of Them Have Aversion 60
Badly Warmed Halls.

A concert company in which MI.
5eeboeck was the pianist had been
playing in some of the smaller towns
Turing February and had suffered con-
siderable inconvenience through in.
sufficiently heated halls. One evening.
after an unusually cold experience,
Seeboeck related an incident which
had occurred on O tour some months
previous. The yiolinist Of the com
pany had received notice Of the time
Of departure at such a late hour that
In the haste of packing he neglected
to include In his wardrobe his dress
trousers. The omission was not dis
covered until en- hour before the con-
cert. Naturally he was greatly dis
concerted upon realizing that he
would be forced to appear in dress
coat and gray trousers. In this
dilemma he called Seebceck into con-
sultation. Both men were nearly Of a
size and Seeboeck hit Upon the plan
of both using the same trousers, per-
forming q lightning change between
appearances. The plan was adopted,
Seeboeck appearing first. AS quickly
as possible after reaching his dressing
room he Invested himself of his trous-
ers and the violinist donned them
with equal haste. The first selection
of the ~violinist's was long, difficult and
was so well received that IN encore
was demanded. 1T was then that I
fully appreciated the criminal neglect
of improperly heating halls" said See
boeck. when the time for my next
appearance arrived and with it my
trousers | was in a half-froZen condi-
ton. Some consolation, however, was
to be derived from the thought that
the violinist was shiyering in the
dressing room during my number,
which also received an encore. But on
the whole it was a wretched evening.
Eight times we alternately wore and
went without those trousers. II the
audience had known the cost Of that
performance in physical discomfort to
at least two of the performers ! be-
lieve 1t would have been even more
appreciative than it was, though !
could have well dispensed with sew

linist-"

Student Not Allowed Chance to Prove
Himself a Hero.
This story is told about Joe" Whit
tlesey of the New Haven Golf club,
a strenuous chap even now and once
famous as an oarsman and tennis
player. Mr.. Whittlesey discovered a
boy t~respassing on the links the other
morning. despite the posted notices,
and told him to get off. The boy re-
fused. In order to thoroughly fright
en- the lad and make him a living
warning to other boys, Whittlesey
seized him by the collar and rolled
him over on the grass. Just then a
Yale student with a girl on his arm
happened along. Seeing a grown man
apparently pummeling a child, the
student called:
Here, you! What are you doing?
You let that boy alone"
"You go way from here, young
mani" returned Joe. This Is none
of our business, Sir; none of your
business! Just because you've got
a girl along, do you think I'm going
to allow you to become a hero?"-

One Occasion When DR.. Halls Mem
ory Was at Fault.

DRY Was at Fault.
DR.. John Hall, the late pastor OF the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church,
was very proud of his memory for
names and faces. Strangers wondered
at his readiness in calling by name the
numerous members of the Sunday
School connected with the church. But
one of the elders of his church tells of
one occasion when the doctor showed
no evidence of his remarkable gift.
while DR.. Hall was taking his Gus
tomary walk down Fifth avenue one
morning" he said, "a young man
stopped him, saying:
Good morning, DR.. Hall, I'm very
glad to see you. Don't you remember
me?'
"The doctor, after scrutinizing him
for some seconds, replied: I must con-
TESS that l have no recollection of ever
having seen you. Are you sure that
you know me?'
Positive answered the youth,
and it's strange you don't recall me,
for you offciated at an occasion of
great Importance to me. Why, you bap-
TIED me in Dublin tw~enty-one years
ago.'"-New York Times.

These men of battle. with grave, dark

As plain to be read as open books;
While slowly gathered the shades OF night.
The fern on the hillsides was splashed with
blood,
And down in the corn where the peoples
grew
We're redder stains than the peoples knew;
And crimson-dyed was the rivers flood.
For the foe had crossed from the other side
That day, in the face of a murderous fire
That swept them down in its terrible ire
And their life-blood went to color the tide.

u. S. SENATOR FROM. SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-rn-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble
Catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something

Of Other Digestive Remedies

State for two terms. In a recent letter to

Some mems idea Of a friend is some one
they can go to for favors.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1903-08-14

The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures ca
tarrh. Peruna does not produce ARTIFICIAL
digestion. 1t cures catarrh and leaves the
stomach to perform digestion in a natural
way. This Is vastly better and safer than
resorting to artificial methods.
Peruna has cured more cases of dyspep-
STA than all other remedies combined, SIM
ply because it cures eatarrh wherever To-
Gated. If catarrh is located in the head,
Peruna cures it. Ii catarrh has fastened
itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Pc
runa cures it. When catarrh becomes set
tied in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as
well in this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for dys-
pepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Pc
runa cures dyspepsia because it is gener-
ally dependent upon catarrh.

insistent voice of the sea.

People do not know that we are old
friends-such very old friends-and-
and it is pleasant to talk over old
times down here by the sea, with no
one listening. Don't you think so?"
The mans voice, dryly: "Oh, yes,

voice, lightly: "Well, Mrs. Van Ness,

things you planned to do. If the pa
pers have kept you informed of my

time told me of your achievements in
