HAD RED ANTS FOR SALE.
Advertisement That Stirred the Wrath
of a Denver landlady.

Advertisement That Stirred the Wrath
of a Denver Landlady.
The apartment houses on Thir-
zenith and Stout streets are in tur-
noil to-day, says the Denver Post,
and it is all because of red ants. For
some time the presence of the ants
has been noticed in various of the
tenements, and as their number in
creased and the efforts to suppress
them became more strenuous and less
effectual dire threats of what would
be done have become frequent.
The climax was reached when the
head of one of the families discover
ed a bedraggled red object in his
soup, and he then and there said that
the plague would end; that the To-
Gusts of Egypt were as nothing to
these modern creatures of the pantry,
and that he thought he could settle
them. So the following advertisement
was inserted in a newspaper: Ten
thousand ants for sale. Five cents
per thousand. Call at 1929 Stout
street"
So people began to call. and they
found Mrs. Mary Bruner very wroth
about. it.
They didn't come to buy any ants"
said Mrs. Bruner this morning, they
just came to see them and look at me.
No, of course, never put any such
advertisement in the paper, and |
haven't had any ants anyway, It's all
an outrage and some spite work on
the part of the neighbors. You see
| have only been in Denver about
month or so. | advertised Tor room
ers, and l have my house full now,
and l guess that made some of my
neighbors jealous.
GAS for ants, why, | have had two
or three around my back porch, but
that is all. Oh, there's one now" ex-
claimed Mrs. Bruner, as she stamped
determinedly on an offending ant
which tried to crawl into the house
from the porch. well, you see they
don't come from my house, anyway,
and as soon as | find out who it was
that put that notice in the paper I'll
have an explanation or know the rea'
son why"

DERUNA is known from the Atlantic
i to the Pacific. Letters of congrat-
ulation and commentator testify
ing to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
Of the Union.
DIR. 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 nor only cures cafarrh, but
prevents H. Every household should
DO 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.

STOPS COLLISIONS BY RAIL.
Tablet System introduced in New Zea.
land a Great Success.


land Great Success.
United States Consul General Dill
bingham at Auckland, Australia, in a
report to the department of commerce
tells of new system for preventing
railway collisions. He says:
"An interesting change has recently
been made in the signaling system IN
New Zealand's railway, which, 1t is
thought, wilfmake collisions absolute
ly impossible.
For a long time, up to recent
date, what is known as the block
system has been generally used, but
the tablet system has now been in
troduced. The essential point in the
new system is that no engine driver Is
allowed to leave a station without a
tablet in his possession, and the ele-
ment of safety rests on the fact that
the machines are so made that 1t Is
impossible for two of the tablets to
be out at the same time.
IF driver leaves Auckland for
Newmarket with a tablet that tablet
has to be deposited in the machine at
Newmarket before another tablet IS
issued allowing a return train to leave
that station for Auckland, and the
electrical connection between the two
stations makes it impossible to extract
a tablet from the Auckland machine
until the tablet has been put into the
machine at Newmarket.
ut is claimed by railroad exports
that under the new system two trains
can not be on the same section Mt
once, so that the danger Of collisions
is entirely done away with"

In a letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., he says:
STATE OF OREGON,

Dear SirG:-I have had occasion to
use your Peruna medicine In my fam
lily for colds, and IL proved 10 be an ex-
ceLlent remedy. have not had Oc-
casiOn to use II for other ailments.
Yours very truly,
w. M. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Ex-Gov-
ernor says he has not had occasion TO
use Peruna for other ailments. Tho
reason for this is, most other ailments
begin with cold.
Using Peruna to promptly cure colds,
he protects his family against other
ailments.
This is exactly what every other
family in the United States should do
keep Peruna in the house. Use it for
coughs, colds, la grippe and other
climatic affections of winter, and there
will be no other ailments in the house.
Such families should provide them
selves with a copy of DIR. Hartmans
free book, entitled, "Chronic Catarrh."
Address DIR. s. b. Hartman, President
of The Hartman Sanitarium, Column
bus, Ohio. All correspondence held
strictly confidential.

RANSOM FOR HUMAN LIFE.
Custom of Placing Coin in a Corner
Stone Had Strange Origin
Many Years Ago.

Few of those who, at the laying OF
the corner stone of new public build
ing, place a coin in the cavity reserved
for the purpose are acquainted with
the origin Of the custom. This harm
less practice is the shadow Of an older
tragic custom. The money stands.
theoretically, for the ransom of the
human being who by ancient supersti-
ton should have been buried in it's
place. Otherwise, 1t was held, the
building would not stand firm and en-
dure.
There was time when this particu-
lar kind of human sacrifice had a vogue
extending to most parts of the world.
Even in England skeletons have been
found Embedded in the bases of castle
walls and there is record of one Ger
man fortress at the building of which
a child was bought from the mother
with hard cash and walled in to the
donjon tower-the unnatural mother,
according to the story, looking on the
while Efdgies of human beings are
still used in some parts of Europe as
harmless substitutes and in remoter
and more ruthless places the old GUS
tom crops out from time to time in all
it's grim reality.

CHINESE sMUooLE OPIUM.
Oriental Seamen Repeatedly Defy
New York Customs Officers, But
Drug rs Never Found.

Chinese seamen are the only people
ever heard of who repeatedly defy Unit
ed States customs officers and make
good" said an officer of the Sikh, a Brit
ish steamship that has arrived in port
with a cargo from the orient. 1--WE tell
the officers that we believe they have
opium, they search the ship, but find
nothing. 1 may call one Of them to do
something and find him so 'dopey' that
he is useless. I know he has used it
within five minutes, but when l make q
search the result is nothing.
Where they hide it is the mystery
to all of us; we, who know every bolt,
plate, and link in the ship, have never
yet uncovered their supply, and this
crew, except the officers and engineers,
are Cinnamon, and I never saw a better
crew. Opium is the only trouble"
