Dog Proves His Gentleness.

From Prague is reported an anus
ing trial in which dog played the
leading part. The owner of the dog
was sued by an engineer, who claimed
damages for bite from the animal.
He also denounced the dog as vicious.
At the trial veterinary surgeon who
was called in tried the utmost to irri-
tate the dog by teasing him, but the
animal kept his temper. The COM
plainant then demanded that in order
to test the dogs real disposition his
owner should be turned out OF court
and the dog let loose among the au-
dience. This was done after the dog
had been muzzled. The dog, however,
continued to display the greatest good
humor, holding up one paw after an
other, and wagging his tail. Finally
he ran to the Judge, before whom he
sat on his hind legs begging in most
pathetic manner. The judge thereupon
pronounced the dog to be veritable
lamb, and gave judgment for his
owner.

NEW FORM OF WRESTLING.
After a Little Practice, Boys Fond of
Athletic Exercise Will
Enjoy the Sport.

The boys down east have new sport
Wrestling has always been a fine ex-
ercise, needing all the strength and agili-
ty that a boy can have. 1t also needs
q good deal of thinking, as those who
have wrestled know. There are good
many kinds Of wrestling, too, but foot
wrestling" seems to be really something
new.
Two boys stand facing each other.
Each stands on one foot. With the other
foot each boy locks heels with the other
boy. From then on it is test of skill
in balancing and Of which boy is the
better thinker. Strength has not so
much to do with this sort of wrestling
and often a small and clever boy can
make big rival sit all over the ground.
There is bound to be good deal of sit
ting down to this game. You may not
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1904-07-28

think so, but try it once. You will be
surprised at the suddenness Of your sit
tings.
You can stand on either leg and wres-
tie with the other Some prefer the right
leg to stand on, thinking it firmer, but
a well-developed boy should find no
difference.
Direct pulling seldom wins the bat
tie. It takes better generalship than
that. A pull would merely make the
other boy hop forward little and give
you a chance to fall forward. You might
try a quick swing to the right. Your
opponent will then swing to his right to
balance; then jerk your foot suddenly
toward you and you will have chance
to crow over the other fellow as he hits
the ground and wonders what happened
to him.
Another trick is-if your adversary
should swing his leg far to the right,
forcing you to your left, you should hop
quickly to the left Then hop forward,
pushing your ankle against his, and I'M
less he has been as quick as you he
will tumble over to the left, and, kerr
hop-there he is on the ground again!
Nonresistance is good policy, too
Get your opponent tired out without
fighting him, and then little shove or
Jerk will do the usiness.-Chicago Jour-
nal

THE LEGEND OF THE CROW.
His Once White Feathers Were
Turned Black Because He
Had a Black Heart.

Way back in the beginning, dearie
when the earth was fresh, and beasts
and birds had the best of it, the crow
was very different from what he now is.
In the first place, his feathers were as
white as snow. His voice. too, was one
of the most beautiful in the bird king
dom.
But something happened. From
somewhere, no one knew exactly how
or when, strange stories were whispered
about Crow which set all the birds nod
ding their heads and chirping to each
other in mysterious tones.
Queer things were happening. Crow,
who had always been one of the best
beloved birds in the forest, stole away
from his companions to be by himself.
Oftentimes, when Lark or Robin sur
prised him as he perched upon the limb
of a tree, or walked stealthily through
the grass, he appeared frightened, and
flew away to the thiclest part of the
thick forest.
The birds could not understand Crow.
Honest and truthful themselves, they

THE PROUD BUN.

The baker-man was knea ding buns
His trough was deep and wide
When, much to his surprise, he heard
A small voice by his side.
"Oh, make me large and fat" it said,
"And stuff me full of plums,
So that may attract applause
From every one who comes.
'Oh, put piece of citron in,
And make me rich and rare,
That may serve for dukes and earls
Who sumptuously do fare"
The baker chuckled in his sleeve
To hear him talk so big
But thought: ''I'll put in every thing,
And let him run his rig!'
He put in all he had on hand,
And made him rich and rare,
And set him in the windoW-pane,
To make the natives stare.
For, swelled to twice his natural size
With yeast and plums and pride,
de scorned the doughnuts, pies and cakes
And elbowed them aside.
"I'm waiting for the duke he said,
with whom am to diner
Just then two newsboys came along
Whose appetites were fine.
my eye" they cried, "come over here
And see this jolly bun;
Let's buy him for our supper, quick"
And so the thing was done.
Two morals to this little song
Are had at easy rates;
IT Is Ill to wait for dukes and earls
In these United States.
And when the baker kneads his dough-
If then you are begun,
No matter what he may put in,
You'll always be bun!

|WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Or. Hartman. How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women This condition is due to anaemic
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 noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army Of invalids are produced az
q direct result OF weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use Of Peruna. Peruna strikes at tho
root Of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutritionf for the nerve centers.
Perfectly digested food gives these reser-
voirs of life vitality which creates
strong, steady nerves, and in this man
ner fortifies and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey, a prominent young
society woman Of Memphis, Tenn, in q
recent letter from 174 Alabama street.
writes: ITO a society woman whose
nervous force is often taxed to the utmost
from lack Of rest and irregular meals,
I know of nothing which IS of 50 much
benefit as Peruna. took 1t few
months ago when felt my strength
giving way, and 1t 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. Pc.
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length Of time without acquir-
ing drug habit Peruna does not pro-
| duce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system.
and gradually eliminates catarrh BY
removing the cause Of catarrh. There
are multitude Of homes where Peruna
has been used of and on for twenty
years. Such thing could not be posi-
bic If Peruna contained any drugs Of
narcotic nature.
AT this season Of the year we are
peculiarly liable to inflammations 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.

Panama,s Coat-of-Arms.

Panama, the new republic, has al
ready it's coat-of-arms, showing an at
tractive and comprehensive design. It
consists of shield surmounted by an
eagle, in whose beak is the ribbon
upon which is written the motto of the
state: "Paz, Libertad, Union Progreso"
peace, liberty, union, progress). Be-
low, on the upper part of the shield,
side by side, are the i'm plements of war
and of peaceful occupations. Below
this, occupying the central place, is
land and water view. the site of the
canal; the fruits of the harvest and
rushing train on a track fill up tbs
point of the shield. Flags drape it on
either side, and stars surmount tho
eagle.

SEND STOLEN JEWELS AWAY
Most Valuable Gems Are Sent by
Thieves to India to Find
q Market,

Almost the only form of investment
which the Mohammedans have resorted
to is jewels, which it is hardly necessary
to point out do not yield interest, but are
more easy to conceal and more portable
than gold, says the New York Tribune.
To such an extent do the Mohamme-
dams in the orient favor this form of in
vestment that the major portion Of the
gems Of Importance that have been
stolen in the last so years in Europe and
In America have been disposed of in
India and other Moslem countries,
where the tendency of the natives to add
gems of this kind to their boarded
wealth or else to adorn Herewith their
favorites in the secrecy of their zenanas
or harems, to which the authorities
have no access, renders their recovery
almost impossible.
All the celebrated jewels in the old
and In the new world are known to the
great jewelers., and it would be impossi-
bic to 1ntrust to them the setting or re-
cutting OF any celebrated gem without
the experts at once recognizing it, and
being able to say whether or not the
stone had formed part of the plumber
of some jewel robbery.
That is why the jewel robbers never
attempt to get rid of their booty either
In Europe or the United States, but send
the principal portion of their plumber
by way of Bombay into India.
There is an individual in India-l
think he is still alive-who could doubt
less give many points to the police on
this subject. That is Jacobs, the cele-
brated diamond merchant who was por-
trayed by Marion Crawford in "Mr.
Isaacs."
Jacobs was for many years the man
whom the princes and potentates of Hin
doostan intrusted with the purchase and
when in want Of money, with the sale
of their precious stones, which owing
to their Religious objections to banks,
they regard as invested capital.
1t Is no exaggeration to assert that he
knew, and possibly still knows, almost
every precious stone of any Importance
In India, being blindly trusted by the
majority of his customers, and had he
not been the most discreet of men there
is no doubt that he could have indicated
to the police the location of many we'll
known and famous stones missed from
American and European jewel cas-
kets.

to Talk About as Well as

Maxfeld Parrish, the illustrator has .

into the widest and most isolated parts of

During a recent visit to New York Mr..

THE ELECTRICITY HABIT.
Some People Get Used to the Battery
as a Bracer and Cant Do
Without It.

Zone reason l do not prescribe elec-
trical treatment except when absolutely
necessary is that it teaches my pa
tents bad habits" said q Broadway
doctor to a New York Times man.
''They get used to its stimulating effect
when i'll and after they get we'll they
still crave the shock. In short, they &C.
quire the electricity habit. Now, that is
not bad habit If practiced in modera-
ton. The trouble is, after person has
learned to brace himself up with cleo
tricity he fOrgets that there is such q
word as moderation in the dictionary.
He takes dose of his favorite tonic
every day and thus keeps himself toned
up to too high pitch. Fortunately, the
treatment Is so beneficial for many sys-
TENS that even excessive applications
cannot prove really harmful. Still, as
I always try to discourage undue slim
ulation, avoid introducing electrical
apparatus into sickroom whenever pos
sible. In cases of rheumatism and kin.
dred ailments cannot we'll dispense
with the treatment, and frequently I
find the patient continuing to turn on
the current after his aches and pains
have ceased.
I'm order to do that he buys an elec-
trio battery of his own. Dealers in elec-
trical appliances tell me that there is
now an unusually large demand for
small one and two-cell batteries. Such
batteries can be bought for $3.50 to $40,
and can be manipulated by the patient.
Many of the electric fluid f1ends thus be-
come their own doctors and treat them
selves to an electric shock whenever
they feel the need of it. Others, how
ever, have an innate distrust of any
thing labeled electricity, and prefer an
experienced hand at the helm when taxi
ing their daily dose of thrills. Such at
tendants are not hard to get. know one
woman who makes business of admin
istering electric shocks to the timid She
was formerly a nurse, but when she re-
allied what demand there is for Wis.,
iting electric battery expert she gave
up looking for legitimate job and took
to working up trade among ex-invalids
and hypochondriacs who have con.
tracted the electricity habit"
