Reflection on the MiIkma an.

Wayne MacVeagh, the lawyer and
diplomat, has on the outskirts of Phil
adelphia an admirable stock farm.
One day last summer some poor chill
dren were permitted to go over this
farm and when their inspection was
done to each of them was given a
glass of milk. The milk was excel
lent. 1t came, in fact, from $4,000
COW. "Well, boys, how do you like
it?" the farmer said when they had
all drained their glasses. Gee!
Fine!" said one little fellow. Then.
after pause, he added, II wisht our
milkman KEEP cow"

Mr.. AND MRS. ). o. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO.

In letter dated January !, 1900, Mr..
Atkinson says, after five years experience
with Peruna:
~ VIII ever continue to speak . good
word for Peruna. In my rounds ~ .
travelling man I an walking advefs
tisemenf for Peruna and have Induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruns with the most satisfactory
results. am sill cured of catarrh. "
John o. Atkinson,
Box 2z2, Independence. Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
cases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
Is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them. This Is exactly what
Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use Of Peruna, write
1T once to DIR. Hartman, giving full state
ment Of your case and he will be pleased to
give you his valuable advice gratis.

Derivation of Panama.

It is supposed by some that Pana'
ma derived its name from the native
word for butterfly. Explorers OF the
interior tell of swarms OF BITTERNESS
which at times rise on slopes OF the
mountains IN dense clouds, darken'
ing the sunshine. Others maintain
that the name is from an Indian word
meaning Astounding in fish.

0\iN \ DEsPEU SrE FINALE.
The nussiHns Stin Hold to the North
 Hank of the Shakhe River.

St. Petersburg, Oct 17.-3:45 a. m The official veil has been lifted from he ghastly tragedy around Shakhe, but out of the fragmentary mass of information al hand it is possible only to conclude that the costly withdrawal and retreat from lliao Yang is being duplicated upon an even grander scale. Russians still holding the north bank of the Shakhe river. but general belief Is that this is only the desperate finale oI one Of the greatest military dramas of history and that the Rus sian army. as a whole, is retiring to- ward Mullden, having suffered al the most conservative estimate a loss of oyer 3o,o00. On the left flank which was one of the most important points in the line Of battle. absolutely nothing is heard. which leaves the inference that it is not in a position to com municate with the remainder of the army.
 All the wounded are being carried to Harbin. farther north. It is under stood that the correspondents also have been ordered to Harbin, which in- dieates that the retreat will not even stop at Tie pass.
 The weather conditions are even worse than during the retreat from liao Yang Streams are bank high and lords are impassable and if the Russians are on the wrong side of the flooded rivers may only emphasize the completeness of the disaster.

NOT ALL LOST YET.
hnropnti.in Making Desperate Ef- forts 10 Retrieve Ills Losses

forts 10 Retrieve His Losses
 St Petersburg, Oct 1S.-Despite the feeling of bitter disappointment over the failure oi the Russian offensive and the complete miscarriage of Gen hhropatkin's plans. the battle contin- ues. and his defeat does not appear to be so crushing and disastrous as the Tokio telegrams led the Russian pub lie 10 suppose.
 While the tales of death and slaugh- ter have plunged the nation into grief and the exact situation of Kuropat- kin's army, especially the left, is not clear, but probably must be regarded as critical. 1t is evident that the wild stories of rout and of the cutting off of whole crops, are baseless
 Kuropatkln is still doggedly trying to stem the tide and there is nothing but admiration for the heroic figure of the Russian commander personally dl- recting his armies to save his battered legions
 The latest official dispatches almost revive the hope that he does not con slider the battle to be irrevocably lost, as he has personally launched, attack after attack against the strong Japan csc positions on Lone. Tree hill. south of Shakhe
