The Magnificent State Capitol Building at Salem Oregon.
PRAISE FROM THE EX-GOVERNOR OF OREGON,

DERUNAis known from the Atlantic
i to the Pacific. Letters of congrat-
ulation and commendation testify
ing to the merits of Peruna as cataIrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
of the Union. f..
DR.. Hartman is receiving hundreds
of such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to. the
lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise and
testimony.
Any man who wishes.perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh of its victims.
Peruna NOT only cures cafarrh, but
prevents IT. Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs, colds and so forth.
The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an
ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it
CONTINUALLY in the house.

STRONG STUFF

Wright County Times: The state of
Minnesota Is sueing Congressman
Buckman for $40, 600 of stolen timber.
Two years ago he was charged with
having stolen $4,000 worth, and the
republicans nominated him by stol-
en- majority Of 80. This year the re-:
publican states attorney is s7eing
him for &C., 600 and the republicans
nominated him by majority of 8, 900.
Now, the mistake that Buchanan made
is that he did not steal enough. IF be
had taken a million dollars worth the
republicans would have nominated
him unanimously. OF course, q man
with the disreputable record which
Mr.. Buckman has will be elected by a
large majority In this great republican
district. It Is the way republicans
have done lately. No matter where
you 90 in this district you will hear
nothing but apologies for Buchanan. It
wouldn't be surprising to hear some
good men com pairing him with Lin
coin yet.

The Song Of a Summer Stream.

A few months ago
I was singing through the snow;
But now the blessed sunshine Is I'LL
ing all the land,
And the memories are lost
OF the winter fog and frost,
In the presence of the summer with
her full and glowing hand.
Now the woodlark comes to drink
At my cool and pearly brink,
And the lady fern Is bending to kiss
my rainbow foam;
And the wild rosebuds entwine
With the dark-leaved bramble vine,
And the centuried oak is green around
the bright-eyed squirrels home.
Oh, the full and glad content
That my little song is blent
With the ail-melodious mfngNng of the
chOrtsters around!
I no Longer sing alone.
Through a chill, pervading moan,
For the very air is trembling with its
wealth of summer sound.
Though the hope seemed long deferred
Ere the south winds whisper heard
Gave a promise of the passing of the
weary winter days,
Yet the blessing was secure,
For the summertime was sure,
When the lonely songs are gathered
in mighty choir Of praise.

Many Races Have Good Name for

the native soldiers: 1.-The Sikhs, or re-
formed Hindoos, have all the qualities
of the best fighters, and the Indians
as we'll as their fellow-subjects in Eu-
rope have indeed reason to be proud
of them. There are two other castles
in Punjab also noted for their fight
ing qualities, the Jats and Dogras. An
other great fighting race in Punjab
fnhabiting the northwestern part are
commonly known as the Pathans.
They are now Mohammedans by faith.
The Gurkhas Of Nepal, the only indie
pendent state in India, though gener-
ally below average height, have proved
themselves the most indomitable,
brave and hardy hill fighters. Euro
pean officers attached to Gurkha regi-
ments love their men and are proud
of them. Their free and easy man.
ners, abstemious habits, cheerful dis
position, bravery in the field of war
or of sport help to raise them in the
estimation of all who come in con-
tact with them. They are of Hlndoo

cheap clocks to the heart of Africa,
and doing good business with them.
He spent large sum in making bet
ter clocks and shipped thousands of
them to the same market. Strange
to say, his sales were small, although
his rival turning out a cheap and in.
accurate timepiece, was selling all he
could make. Finally he found a key
to the mystery. Savages like noise.
The clocks made by the first exporter
had particularly loud and aggres-
sive tick. His competitor had made
q better clock, but it was almost noise
less, and the savages would have none
Of it. The next cargo of clocks which
the maker shipped to the Guinea coast
licked louder than anything ever
heard there, and they sold like pink
lemonade at circus.
