THE "cARRY.oUT GRAFT
How Restaurant Employees Loaded
Themselves Up.

"I've seen more shoplifters who We're
good at slowing things away" began
the private detective, but for quanti-
ty and curious spoils, let me recon-
mend the kitchen crew of an uptown
restaurant which had the pleasure
of searching few nights ago,
For some years the proprietor had
suspected that his kitchen employees
were walking out at night with as
much Of his surplus stock as
they could conceal about them. He
found a hiding place for me, and /
watched the going home preparations
with interest. There were seven in
the crew, four men and three women,
and they gathered up enough food
to supply a regiment.
"The cook, n big buxom woman,
was the most scientific. She startea
in with two choice tenderoIn steaks,
for which she found room in the
bosom OF her dress. She risked
packing two eggs in each stocking
and her pockets held can of con
densed milk and jar of butter.
THE two boys who washed dishes
evidently had friends with fondness
Tor mutton chops, TOR they filled theil
pockets with them. One of the wait
resses found room in the crown of
her hat for five cream puffs. The sec
ond cook had the pockets of his coat
lined with rubber. so that he could
carry things which had tendency
to run. He confessed that he carried
home dinner for his wife and two
children every night.
"As they We're about to leave the
kitchen the manager appeared and

fee. They protested that they had
taken nothing, and were indignant I'M
til l appeared and began to call out
their hidins places. They We're let go
with warning, but l doubt If the
proprietor saves anything. The
kitchen crew can destroy more stuff
each day than they could ever carry
away and they will do it to get even
for losing their 'carry-out graft. -

Polite Enuineer.

The engineer of the Vienna Cracow
express got nasty turn the other
day.H was driving his engine along
gayly and thinking about nothing in
particular, when suddenly he espied a
man sitting in an easy attitude on
the rails. when questioned" says
the report. the man started, and said
he had sat down there to rest" The
engine-driver apologized profusely for
being obliged to ask him to be SO
good as to take the trouble kindly
to move few feet to one side, but
the train was behind its time, and bust
ness was business. The man acceded
to the request in the most graceful
manner.

"Old Oaken Bucket" Anew.

In a New England school. the poem
"The Old Oaken Bucket" was given
to class to read. and then the schol-

Impressions of the poem. One boy
handed In piece of paper on which
were drawn large circle, three
buckets and bunch Of dots.
What does this mean?" inquired
the teacher Of the child.

circle is the well. and there are the

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found per-
manent use in so many homes is that 1t
contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna
is perfectly harmless 1t can be used any
length of time without acquiring a drug
habit. Peruna does not prod uce temporary
results. 1t is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh There are a
multitude of homes where Peruna has been
rnmig t6uld not be possible If Peruna con-
tanned any drugs of a narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are pc.

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions BY DR.. Hartman---How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather,

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition 10 due to anaemlc
nerve centers. The nerve centers a 0
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become bloodlesI for the want OF
proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season Every sum
mer an army OF invalids are produced a.
direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use OF Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root OF the trouble by correcting tho
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes in.
creased nutrition for the nerve centres.
Perfectly dges,ed food gives these reser'
voirs OF life vitality which creates strong,
steady nerves, and in this manner fortiies
and nourishes Gfe.

Ask it--ye who will.
Fear We foes who kill for hire?
Will We to your homes retire?

On they come! and will We quail!

As where heaven it's dews shall shed
On the martyred patriots bed,
And the rocks shall raise their head,

GREAT DAMAGE BY FLOOD.
Further Reports Of Tracks Washed

in New Mexico.

Albuquerque, N. M, Oct. IL. - tele-
phone message from Belen says that the
Santa Fe bridge over the Rio Puerco, 80
miles south of Albuquerque, has been
damaged by the flood in the stream and
1t is expected to go out at any moment.
The stream has left its present channel
and is returning to the old river bed,
which is exactly where the Santa Fe
tracks now lie. Several miles of the
track have been washed out and work
train men at Belen say 1t will require
three weeks to repair the break.
The Rio Puerco and the Rio Graude
converge at La Joya, a few miles below
Belen. There the Rio Puerco is run
ming close on one side of the station
and the Rio Grande on the other. Peo-
pie in the village have been taken out in
boats.
Reports from other sections of New
Mexico state that all streams are fall
Ing and that the rainis over. The heav-
lest damage of the past week has been
done at Silver City and Deming, where
the Mimbres river has been higher than
Tor many years. The Rio Grande is fall
Ing and the people of the valley are be-
ginning to return to their homes.
