IN A PADDLE WHEEL.
A Terrifying Adventure With MO
meut of Deadly Peril.

n Terrifying Adventure with n MOS
ment of Deadly Peril.
Mr.. Stanhope Hall, author of "Twen-
ty Years at Sea-" was not much more
than boy when he had the following
curious and terrifying adventure, the
recollection Of which haunted him all
his life! The ship ON which he was
making his first voyage was loading
cotton in Mobile bay, and the captain
had sent him In a small boat to get
some newspapers from a big side
wheel steamer which lay near by.
In trying to bring the boat up to the
steamer. he says, l upset myself and
went down. | could not swim, and /
struggled in hopeless terror. When !
came to the surface found myself Ia
the brackets of the great wheel. They
were green with river moss and slip
perry as ice, but I managed to get
astrlde Of one and regain my breath.
AS held on, painting from my plunge,
a thrill of horror ran through me. The
wheel had slowly begun to revolve. In
agony / shouted, but in that great
wheel box my voice was as nothing.
Slowly the wheel turned. carrying me
upward. When I reached the top
should be ground to pieces, or, II by
chance / escaped that fate, / should be
drowned when / was again drawn un-
der the wheel into the fearful suction.
Again and again / shouted. Finally,
as / was nearing the top, little trap
door opened and some one looked into
the box. / opened my mouth to call
once more, but my throat was paralyz-
ed For moment | could not utter a
note.
The trapdoor was just closing when.
with one mighty effort, my voice came
bnck and ! screamed. The man open
ed the trap again, saw me, sprang upon
the wheel and snatched me into safety
I was a heavy weight in his arms as
he carried me to the deck, for tainted
dead away.

ROLLED ROAD OF SMOOTH, FIRM SURFACE.
these points are equal in volume 10 the
solid particles, and as a result the
earth will absorb almost an equal por-
tion of water.
In building or maintaining roads it is
therefore desirable that these small
particles be pressed and packed into as
small space rs possible in order that
surplus water may not pass in and de-
stroy the stability of the road. To this
end rolling is very beneficial. The work
of maintaining earth roads will be
greatly lessened by the proper use of
the roller.
After additional matter has been
placed on the surface Of the road it
should be carefully rolled and not al
lowed to wash Off into the ditch. If the
earth is left loose wheels will cut In

which will hold water and result in a

III. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
catarrh of the Stomach is Generally
Called Notwithstanding to
Produce Artificial Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and Host
of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

Xxx. U. s. Senator M. c. Butler from
T. South Carolina, was Senator from
that State for two terms In a
recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, D. c., says:
AZ can recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsfa and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for a short
period and feel very much relieved
II Is indeed q wonderful medicine be-
sides a good tonic. I'M. c. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrb
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in a natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than resorting to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. if catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
