ITCHING NOSE A PERIL.
victim of Road Agents Wanted to
Scratch, But Was Made to
Smell Of . Gun.

Ex-Congressman Bell used to tell story
of a time when he once got into grave
peril on account of his nose. He was going
to Leadville in the early days on stage
coach which was held up by highwaymen.
The passengers were ranged in row out
side with their hands up, the familiar at
titu1e being enforced BY q gun in the
hands of one of the gentlemen of the road,
while the other went through the various
pockets at his leisure.
In the midst of the ceremony Mr.. Bells
nose began to itch with that maddening
persistency calculated to drive to insanity
or the grave if not relieved. Involuntarily
his right hand began to lower itself to the
seat OF troubles.
Hands up there!. called the man be-
hind the gun, sternlY.
His hand shot baeE: into place, but in
moment began to loAer itself again.
Whats the matter with youy" inquired
the bandit Are you anxious to become .

My nose itches SO can't stand it any
longer" said Mr.. Bell. I've simply got

With which he proceeded to scratch the
prospective congressional nose with the
muzzle of his shotgun.

CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES Her LIFE TO PE=RU=NA.
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

A woman confined to the house for
several years with chronic female
arrangement had finally given up hope
Of being cured.
She had tried physician after physi-
clan, and remedy after remedy. without
any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband
who was poor man. hundreds of doll
lars. They had been obliged to deny
themselves many comforts of life in
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause Of the want of q mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that DR.. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case. and giving him all her gymp-
toms.
She soon received letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the
treatment (the principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in few weeks she
was we'll and strong again, able to do
her own work.
This offer Of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may need
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.

they had all grown considerably during the

At the request of the superintendent the

The Adair foot ball team came
over last Thursday with a goodly
umbersot hackers and met our
local team on the gridiron in West
Town. The game was called at 2:3O
with the ball in the hands of the
visiting team. They made good
kick off but the ball was pushed
we'll back toward the center ere they
could stop it. They failed to smash
through the Extra lineup and lost
the ball by not gaining the neces-
sary distance. When the ball got
in the hands of the Extra team it
was walk away. The line smash
ing the Extra team was something
tremendous. The boys could 90
through Adair's center and make
from 5 to Is feet gains every time
The pace soon began to tell on the
visiting team. Finally before the
first half was finished they objected
to ruling of the referee and quit
The local team then offered to give
them the ball where they wanted it
and to change and give them their
own referee. They refused how
ever to do this. The natural
supposition was that they con-
sidered themselves out classed.
Ihey seemed to be made up of
first rate class of fellows who start
ed in to play good clean game.
We feel sure they cannot complain
of the treatment offered by our boys
In offering to give them their own
referee and affording an opportun-
ity to finish the game. After re-
turning to town they wished to put
up money to play but every offer
was covered and yet they did not
line UP again. Our boys are in
good shape and would give any
team a good game.
