WHILE HE WAS WORKING.
The Barber RECALLED His Victim with
an Illustrative Instance of
Ignorance.

The barber tucked a towel under a
customers chin and then cleared his
throat, relates the Philadelphia Press.
"A victim mean customer OF mine"
he began. told me story the other day
which illustrates to my mind, at least,
that some men really don't know the DIFF
ference between patent medicine and
Schuylkill water 1t was this way:
This customer of mine had friend
who had great deal Of trouble with his
hair. 1t was all the time falling out. He
asked all his friends what he could get
to keep it in. Most of them suggested
that he get a basket, but finally one of
them told him of patent medicine.
80 the man whose hair was bothering
him got a bottle Of the medicine and dis
covered that 1t was dark brown sticky
stuff that he was to rub on his hair five
times day. He tried it the first day
and it appeared to do good, but the sec
ond day some one got there first. and
emptying the bottle of medicine, filed 1t
up with sarsaparilla. And all day long
that poor man rubbed the soft drink on
his hair and never noticed the difference.
But he did notice, though, that there was
an unusually large number OF flies swarm
ing about his head Bav rum

-THE season of catching cold is upon

T7HE season of catching cold is upon
L us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal tWang are 10 be heard on
every hand. The origin of chronic
catarrh, the most common aud dreadful
of diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Thenfollows sensitivencs IS Of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has
cold al the while seemingly, more or
less discharge from the nose. hawking,
splitting frequent clearing of the throat,
nostrils stopped up, fun feeling in the
head and sore, inflamed throat
The best time to treat catarrh is at
the very beginning. A bottle Of Peruna
properly used never fails to cure a COM
mon cold, thus preventing chronic
catarrh.
While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by single bottle of
Peruna, yet. as a rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than
one bottle is neeess airy to complete q
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer-
able Of catarrh Of twenty years stand
ing. 1t is the best. if not the only
internal remedy for chronic catarrh in
existence.
Butpreventioni is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore
throat at this season of the year and
thus prevent what is almost certain to
end in chronic catairh.

SIGN LANGUAGE IN DIVORCE
Plaintiff. Defendant and Witness to
 This Suit were Mutes.


 A deaf mute plaintiff, deaf mute defendant and deaf mute witnesses made the trial of a divorce suit at In dependence, before Judge Evans the other day, of curious and unusual in terest. An interpreter stood beside each witness and translated the lam guage of the hands for the judge and the stenographer. There were half a dozen deaf mutes in the court room and the case was contested during all the morning and until 3 o'clock in the afternoon
 The plaintiff was Amelia Lane, who eaid that She was married to Thomas Zane, Aug. 21, 1901, at Fort Smith, Ark. and left him in April of this year. Tn describing her wrongs the plaintiff slapped her cheeks to illus strate the way her husband had treat ed her and struck one hand against the other to show how he had beat her. The defendants brother took a prominent part in the proceedings and sat with the lawyers.
 ''Please move out of the way, so Mir. Lane can see this testimony" the fudge asked the lawyer, when he stood before the witness Deaf mutes in the body of the court room saw every thing that was said. They were all disappointed when one witness took the stand who could talk. They had no interpreter for this testimony. The brother of the defendant grabbed a witness he wanted the lawyers to ask another question and forced him back into chair. The Judge asked the in terpreter to tell him to keep quiet.
 The usual character witnesses were called sand the usual divorce story was slowly brought out. The plaintiff was given her divorce. and the scene of interpretation was transferred to the clerks office. where fees were claimed and the costs taxed.

They took up sailing with all the

become sufficiently expert to trust
themselves upon their small sloop
without a skipper to guide them. In
this happy state they drifted up the
small river that emptieS into the ocean
near their cottage under gentle
breeze. One OF them caught sight of
a bucolic-looking native watching
them with interest from the shore.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Bedbugs shall re-
oeive no consideration in this court.
And 80 far as I can ascertain, no IL
linois judge has ever decided that the
presence Of bedbugs shall interfere
with a written agreement. Therefore,
you will have to pay the s2s."
Miss Emma Stetzler's hopes were
dashed as she heard the above YER
diet of Justice Grant. She is teach
er at the Burns school, Twenty-fifth
street and Central Park avenue, and
had been sued for her room rent. Her
defense was that it was impossible
for her to reside where there were so
many bedbugs as she found in the
home of Mrs. E. Mathew. When the
bedbug defense was cast aside all was
lost.
The witnesses were few, but they
were vehement. First came Miss
Stetzler. She is one of those pleasant
young women, the kind that the boys
carry their red apples to and the girls
their flowers.
There were four of us in the party.
my brother, my sister, a friend and
myself. We engaged a suite of rooms
They were to cost SIS a month and we
were compelled to sign a lease for
that period. Your honor, we got enough
the first night"
"Why?"
Your honor, it makes me shudder
even to think of that night Rather
it makes me shudder to think of the
next morning. Oh, the bedbugs your
honor. l was sleeping in the din
ing room. When I arose and reached
for my coat 1 saw two Of them chas-
ing up and down the back. Then
L picked up my suit case and there
We're several holding a celebration of
some kind. Well, 1 knew exactly what
l was going to do. And 1 was going
to do 1t in a hurry
Il knew that I was going to leave
AND l did. gave her SIS for the night
L thought it quite sufficient. Then
we hurried"
Edward S. Stetzler, brother of the
defendant, came forward to substan-
tiate the story.
Say, Judge, it was fierce" he be-
gan. 1T certainly was fierce. Say.
when woke up that morning and look
ed over the bed l was positively shock
ed Oh, it was awful. Say, right
there on my great toe were a half
dozen of the pests. And, they We're
having the time of their life"
Wen, you know, while that bedbug
defense is novel, still it can have no
weight in a court of law" said the
justice. Everybody realizes that bed
bugs aren't pleasant. Now, under
stand, Mrs. Mathew, I'm not saying
that there are any at your home, but
the pests can have no place in law
You Will have to pay the remainder of
the money"
And Miss Stetzler paid.

HE MARRIED HER MOTHER.
From the Nav York Press

FROM the New York Press
Sayville, Oct. 20-Rebuffed in his
courtship of one of the pretty Misses
Baker of this place, Frank Green, %
years old, sought her mothers advice
in his wooing, and the elder woman's
compassion was so grateful he wound
up by concluding she would do as well
for wife, so to-day he received the
congratulations Of his friends when he
introduced the blushing mamma as his
bride. Mrs. Green was the widow of
Capt. Syms Baker of the United States
Life Saving Service.
She is twenty years older than her
boy husband, but he asserts she Is far
more beautiful than any of her daugh-
tiers, and says he's glad he espoused
the older instead of the rising genera
tion. The Miss Baker who refused
young Green looks on the happiness
of her mother and her former sutton
with smiling eyes She, too, says she's
thoroughly satisfied with the outcome
of his devotion to the family.
Green, when Miss Baker declined
his heart and hand, recalled that "he
who would the daughter win, with the
mother must begin" 1t was too late
to remedy his oversight, but he did
tll6 next DtSL lHlIlS Dy ignoring the
Wellerian advice and Fastening to the
widow for consolation, Mrs. Baker
synpathized with him to his hearts
content. She did not criticise her
daughter, of course, but she deplored
the fact that young women of the
present day We're so hard to please,
and she was far from making the
young man feel he would be an I'M
welcome member of the Family in her
eyes. Naturally, as Green seemed so
eternally in love with the girl, she
did not dream her own ripper charms
would change the direction of his de-
sire. But Green had an eye for beauty,
and constant gazing on Mrs. Bakers
mature loneliness in his daily quest
for consoling words, switched his de-
votion from maid to matron.
Emma" he said in impassioned
tones one day. 81 love you"
"WeI, you are an audacious youth,
aren't your" returned the widow.
II mean It," he replied. Il do, IN
deed"
Mrs Baker reasoned with him. She
pointed out the disparity in their ages
and asked him what the villagers
would say after his ardent courtship
of her daughter. In motherly tones
she demonstrated with him, but the
Sayvillian still pursued her. So she
first endured, then pitied, then en-
braced her youthful wooer, and last
night they were made one by the
famous marrying parson," the Rev.
John H. Prescott, rector of st. AIMS
Episcopal Church.
Sayville approves.
