HOW TWO BEAUTIFUL +,
Thousands of Women
Cured by Pe-ru-na of
Annoying Catarh.

DR.. Hartman has prob
ably done more than any
other physician toward
populariZing a means of
escape from the facial de-
fOrnities, such as watery
eyes. twisted nose, often
sive breath, dry. cracked
lips, due to the ravaging
effects of catarrh.
He has made chronic
catarrh a lifelong study.
His remedy. popularity
known as Peruna. is the
most famous remedy for
catarrh in existence.
Probably there is not a
man or woman, bog or
girl. within the bounds of
the United States that has
not heard of Peruna. BY
far the largest majority
have used Peruna-
The multitude of people
that have been cured of
chronic catarrh by using
Peruna can never be
known.
Many a girl has regained
her faded beauty. many d
matron has heightened the
days of her comedy ap-
pearance by using Peruna.
Peruna produces clean
mucous membranes. the
basis of facial Symmetry
and a perfect complexion.
The women have not
been slow 10 discover that
a course OF Peruna will do
more toward restoring
youthful beauty than all
the devices known to
science.
While il is true that Pc
runa cures catarrh wher-
ever located. yet it is ad-
visable for every one 10
use Peruna as a pre-
ventive and not wait until
catarrh has fastened itself
In some part Of the sys-
tenn.
Peruna acts quickly and
oeneficially on the in
tamed mucous membranes
lining the different organs
Of the body. Thus IL will
cure catarrh wherever To-
Gated.

Tending the Light.

With nothing but waves to seward
And the grim rocks toward the land,
The roll of the black clouds over
And the breakers on every hand
The night comes down on the ocean,
And we climb the winding stair
To see that our lights are piercing
The thick ming. foggy air.
Far up at the mouth of the river.
Beyond the narrow beach,
The last OF the home lights twinkle
And sink away from our reach.
Alone on a rock in the desert
or tumbling and tossing tide.
The nations outer signal
To wanderers far and wide:
Alone. and we wonder dimly
If the foghorn reaches the shore
Or pierces the outer stretches
That tumble and toss evermore.
Perchance in the little village
Some fisher wife wakes in the night
And peers from her smoky window
To see If we're shining bright.
Or out on the tossing pillows
A helmsman watches our light.
A thousand souls in his keeping
As they rush through the painless
night:
Alone on rock in the desert
And hungry for those on shore.
The screams of the gulls and breakers
Around US forevermore.

Mail Sack Stolen

Last Saturday evening some mis- creant stole the mail sack from the depot platform after the departure of No. 2. As is customary the mail clerk, upon the arrival of the train here, threw off the sack, which should have been, or usually is, taken charge of by some of the rail
 way employees. As the train was late no one was present to take the sack, so it is said, and as a conse- quence some one who had no au- thority to do so appropriated it. The man, whoever he may have been, took the bag to one of the small shacks west of the depot, and cutting off the top, leisurely pro ceeded to rife the contents, which were later found strewed about the place. Only between twenty and thirty letters of the 200 or 300 in the bag were opened, and these were mostly large, fat ones, which would indicate that the robber was searching for envelopes that felt as if they had money in them. So far as known no letters were stolen, all of those opened being found where he had thrown them. As yet there is no clue to the guilty party.
