LOUISIANA WAS GIFT.
Vast Territory Presented to King Of
Spain by Louis XIV.
Interesting Historical Fact Brought
TO Light by Researches in Paris
Had Been Refused by
Great Britain.

Under the authority OF M. Delcasse,
French minister Of foreign affairs E.
Spencer Pratt, former United States
minister to Persia, who is now resid-
ing in Paris, is making extensive re-
searches in the archives of the foreign
Office relative to the transfer Of the
province of Louisiana by France to the
United States. The investigation has
brought to light all the circumstantial
details Of the transaction, including the
confidential letters of the French min
lister at Washington. advising his gov
ernment as to the various stages of the
negotiations. and the letters and docu-
ments signed By President Jefferson
and Secretary OF State Madison Many
Of these have hitherto been un-
available, owing to the rules of the
foreign office. which nave prevented
the copying OF documents in the ar
chives.
In speaking Of his investigations Mr..
Pratt said: One Of the most curious
documents found Is an autograph let
ter to Louis XIV giving away the vast
Louisiana territory to his cousin, then
King of Spain. as present The fact
of this gift has heretofore been known
only in general way. but the text OF
the letter discloses the casual nature
of the gift and also the fact that Louis
XIV. previously offered Louisiana to
Great Britain. which refused to ac-
cept 1t"
The text Of the letter relating to the
gift is as follows:
Il have caused Marquis De Grifnal-
d. subject to your majesty's pleasure.
TO sign accession Of New Orleans and
Louisiana to Spain | had offered it to
the English in place of Florida. but
they refused It. I would have ceded
them other possessions to have spared
Spain having to cede this latter one
but fear that any cession in the Gulf
Of Mexico might lead to serious con-
sequences
Il feel that Louisiana but poorly
compensates your majesty for the
losses you have sustained. but in ced-
ing you this colony I consider less its
value than the good accomplished in
uniting the Spanish and French ma
tons. Union Is alike necessary for our
subjects and our house"
The letter Of the King Of Spain ac-
cepting the present" said Mr.. Pratt. |
refers TO the further strengthening Of
the union Of the two nations BY a num-
Der Of royal intermarriages. Later
documents show the recession OF Lou
isiana by Spain to France and give |
minute details of the sale Of the PROV
ince by Napoleon to the United States.

The Preachers Evidence.

Roland, ILL.,, June 27.-Diabetes has
so long been looked upon as an incur
able form of Kidney Disease that sure
cure Tor it must rank as one of the
most valuable medical discoveries Of
the age. And every day brings forth
fresh evidence that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will cule Diabetes. Important
evidence in their favor is given by Rev.
Thos. B. Norman, the well known Bap-
fist minister here. Mr.. Norman says:
81 had all the symptoms of bad
case OF Diabetes and received so much
benefit from the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills that l cheerfully recommend
them to anyone suffering from that
dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure the worst form of Diabetes. "
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure Dia-
betes, one of the final stages of Kidney
Disease. All the earlier stages from
Backache to Rheumatism are naturally
much more easily cured by the same
remedy.

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by DIR. Hartman.-fiow
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to amaze
mic nerve centers. The nerve centers
are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These centers become bloodless for the
want Of proper nutrition.
This condition is especially notice.
able during the warm season. Every
summer an army of invalids are pro-
duced as direct result of weak nerv-
Gus systems.
This could be easily overcome by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve cent
ers. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs of life vitality which Gre
ates strong, steady nerves, and in this
manner fortifes and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey, prominent
young society woman OF Memphis,
Tenn in a recent letter from ia Ala
bama street, writes: "'To a society
woman whose nervous force is often
taxed to the utmost from lack of rest
and irregular meals, know of nothing
which is of so much benefit as Peruna.
l took it few months ago when [
felt my strength giving way, and
it soon made itself manifest in giving
me new strength and health. Miss
Blanche Grey.
Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is
that it contains no narcotic OF any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
1t can be used any length of time with
out acquiring a drug habit. Peruna
does not produce 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 multitude of homes where Peru
ma has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be pos
sibe if Peruna contained any drugs OF
narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are Pc
culiarly liable to infammations of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part OF
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the easiest and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by ITS peculiar
power over all forms of catarrhal
troubles.
