Sweet Innocence.

She was a very pretty miss, who
had risen from her seat at the High
School building and signalled the con
ductor to stop, and who now stood
before us on the rear platform.
Conductor" she said in low
plaintive voice, you forgot to take my

honesty.
The conductor, approaching her en-
barrassment, said nothing, and the
rest of us pretended not to hear.
At last she found her pocketbook

Showing the Harb

The attacking force was not reg
ular torpedo boat, but was only a
small naptha launch in command of a
young naval officer, who had with him
three jackies. The launch mounted a
small machine gun and carried three
torpedoes
When darkness fell, the launch crept
out of Port Arthur, hugging the shore,
with no lights aboard and no glow
from the engines to betray her pres
ence. 1t was late when she gained the
outer line of the Japanese squadron.
Slipping through the torpedo boat
pickets, and selecting the nearest war
ship. big armored cruiser, she stole
toward her and succeeded in exploding
against her side single torpedo. A
deafening roar followed the explosion,
ly flames enveloped the cruiser, which
evidently was badly crippled.
The crew of the cruiser was seen to
be fighting the fire, which they at last
succeeded in extinguishing. A sister
ship took the damaged vessel in tow
and disappeared to the southwest.
The launch escaped the hot fire d.
rected against her by the japanese
ships, but being unable to return to
Port Arthur or to get into Dalny, she
was beached not far from DaIny.
Only few of the higher officers
were aware of the plan, the success of
which depended upon secrecy. The
achievement raised the spirits of the
Russians afloat and ashore, and the
young naval officer who was the hero
of the exploit was feted and recon-
mended for the cross of st. George.
The Russians, on May II, appre-
bending that the presence of Japan
csc squadron meant an attempt to cap
ture Dalny, blew up the piers and Out

A woman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such a time, IL
they could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact that
