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 en-
pertaining in her own home
Her system becomes completely run
down as consequence. She soon finds
herself in condition known as systemic
catarrh. This has also been called ca
tarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know the
value of Peruna at such a time, if they
could realize the invigorating, strengthen
ing 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 Pc
runa is the tonic for run down, depleted
nervous system.

The city man hesftated to start, but
was encouraged to proceed by the as

away from his tail he will be all right"

Juvenile Views OF Marriage.

He was curly headed boy, with life
before him. She was little girl with
a saucy pug nose but wise, it would
seem, beyond her years. The fact that
she was nursing a doll with eyes that
opened and shut with a click may have
been his inspiration.
Say, sister, tink I'd get married Il

"Oh, that's easy" replied the owner
of the pug nose. First you buy Gia-
mond ring and give 1t to her; then you
buy gold ring, like mammals got, and
give that to her. And then you must
buy her watch for her birthday"
AN what she give me?" expectantly
asked the little chap.

Tho Use Of Little Parties.

From the Chicago Post Qnd. Rep.).
Although the average American
voter allied with one or other of the
two principal political parties, having
a definite and practical belief, is in
clined TO be angered or perturbed over
the occasional outcropping Of small
parties. these political phenomena have
their value.
Always in the social atmosphere
there is afoat considerable mass Of
more or less vague political or pseudo
political theory. The product some-
times of the amiable idealist and vis-
ionary, at times the fermentation of SOC
ial jealousles and morbid discomfort.
IL is "a disturbing and. I'm this stage,
even dangerous element. In our own
history the common sense of our people
In crises has always prevented a very
serious precipitation, but It may not
always be so. AT any rate 1t is bet
ter that these theories should be al
lowed to formulate and organize; that
they should be put down in English as
plain as in their nature Is possible; that
they should gather about them their
most ardent supporters, and, in a word,
attain the defnlteness OF a political
platform for every man to read and
pass upon for himself.

educators came to the United States with
no idea Of the degree to which American
schools have been perfected as institutions
Of primary and intermediate education.
And their admiring wonder knew no
bounds when they found the President
son and a little colored boy sitting side
by side in the same school room. They
began to understand then that there is
ground for the statement that every boy
has a chance to make something OF him
self IN this country.

Parker Not a Real Leader. ,
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
We begin to fear that Judge Parker
does not possess the genius of political
leadership, that masterful, ardent, ag-
gressive. compelling quality of intel
lect and passion by which hearts are
collectively touched and wills collec-
lively dominated. He Is persuasive
with individuals, but not with the
mass-at least. he has not yet exhibited
this trait except IN one instance OF sud-
den self-revelation. Nothing which he
has since said or done. so far as the
public is cognizant of it, lifts him
above the rank of commonplace able
men wanting the element of personal
distinction that attracts attention,
evokes admiration and enlists devotion,
He has one more opportunity--th let
ter of acceptance that is due.
