even one Sunday. 1t was certainly a
treat to hear him. Special music was
enjoyed throughout the conference, but
that of the closing service seemed best of
all.
Perhaps the most important social
event of the conference took place Fri
day, when Association Day was cele.
brated. All dressed in white aud decor
ated themselves in association colors and
carried wreaths and banners. In my
mind the Michigan delegation presented
the prettiest picture, with their parasols
Of oak leaves intertwined with white
| flowers. The procession formed at the
dining hall and marched down the hill
and past the veranda of the villa, where
on were seated the reviewing committee,
consisting of American committee mem
bers, national secretaries and other visit
ing officers and speakers. Then in their
turn each state delegation took their
places in the center of the lawn and gave
their songs and yells. Each city group
would step out by themselves and give
their own particular stunt. The Ohio
girls furnished the best music and Grand
Forks, N. ID. association, the most amuse-
ment. This association was only organ
lied seven months ago and was fittingly
represented by the state secretary wheel
+ ing the delegate from that place in q
baby carriage. The Iowa delegation,
being largest. came last. 1t was headed
by Miss McElroy, state secretary, and
Miss Jones, secretary of the Sioux City
association. Miss Paddock, former
state secretary, was dressed in Chinese
costume, as she goes to China as q mis-
sionary soon. The Cedar Rapids grouI
was conspicuous on account of the rab
i bits which adorned their costumes
Sioux City carried large painted In

Holiday Home is also very interesting,
being located only short distance west
of the camp. Poor women and children
from Chicago are given an outing there.
A number of delegates We're shown
through the home one afternoon, after
which the children entertained them in
the summer house.
Various excursions and picnics were
planned. The secretaries went across
the lake and held picnic Saturday
afternoon.
Monday morning Mabel Hoyt and !
went to the woods to gather a basketful
of flowers and green things which Miss
Jones wished to take to an invalid friend
in Chicago. We found ferns, mosses,
bright leaves, walnuts, hickory nuts,
butternuts, May apples and the oldest
waxy, white things called Indian pipes.
Many of the girls had never seen any Of
these before. Wild grapes and crab APP
pies grow in abundance here. 1t re,

In one of our rambles we saw what us
ed to be the home of an authoress. She

I AM TIRED
Everybody is Tired - Spring Weather Does It - Every one Should
 Be Cautious,

Depression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is the cause.
 General lassitude, dull, heavy sen- sations, continual tired feeling, with irregular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Peruna meets every indica- tion and proves itself to be perfectly adapted to all their varied peculiari- ties. Peruna invigorates the system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores the normal appetite and produces regular sleep.
 That tired feelingswhich is the nat ural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immedi lately after the invigorating cold of winter, quietly disappears when Peruna is taken. Thousands are daily testifying to its priceless benefit.
 Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1909 w. 18th street, Des Moines, Ia., writes: "I am happy to give my endorsement for your valuable medicine, Peruna, as 1 consider it valuable medicine to take when the system is run down from overwork. About two years ago l felt that l must take long rest as 1 had been unable to work for over month and could not regain my strength. l could not sleep at night and was in a very nervous, highstrung, condition. I decided to try what Peruna would do to build up my strength, and am pleased to say that I began to improve very shortly, and in less than two months I was able to take up my work, and felt better than | have for Vaars I take if nOw twica a year and find that it keeps me in perfect health." Mrs. Kassatt was for over ten years the manager oe plant furnishing ladies' wear and employing hundreds of women.

 "I gained in flesh, my appetite re- turned and all my old symptoms had disappeared. 1 am more than thankful to Peruna. "-Miss Bertha M. Rush.

REMNANTS COLONIAL EMPIRE.
It 1s Vast In Extent, but tho Most
 Worthless on the Globe.

Worthless on the Globe.
 The German colonial empire has been created since 1884, writes Frank G. Carpenter. Germany was too poor to have colonies before the Franco Prussan war. It was then an agri- cultural and not manufacturing coun- try. To-day the Kaiser governs five times as much territory outside of Eu- rope as in it. His colonial empire all told covers 100000 square miles. In Africa alone it is one-fourth as big as the United States and it's islands of the Pacific have an area half as large as the whole German empire.
 In Asia the Kaiser absolutely con- trols but 200 square miles, but he claims the earth. He has really only a strip around Kiauchau bay, but all the land back of this is known as the German sphere of influence and it em- braces some of the best parts of China. The Germans are going ahead there as though they owned it. They are build ing railroads, opening mines and are reaching out their itching palms to- wards the Yangtse- -Kiang valley.
 The Monroe doctrine keeps Germany from having a legal title to anything in South America. It has conner cial title, however, based upon its enormous trade, to large part of the business of every country. It practi' cally controls southern Brazil, where there are provinces which have so many German citizens that they are known as West Deutschland.
 Germany is pushing its trade into Central America and into all the coun- tries of Asia. The Kaiser lately got his arms around the neck of the Sultan and squeezed out concession for a German railroad through Persia and he is cajoling and forcing German goods into every out-of-the-way part of the world.
 Indeed, the Germans are doing best outside their own colonies. The terri tories they have annexed are about the most worthless on the face of the globe, and they have hardly colony that is self-supporting. Their defict. in 1900 was $7,000,O00, and at present the colonies do not anywhere near meet their expenses.
 The best of the German colonies are in Africa, but even there they have about the poorest land, the chief ex- captions being the French possessions in the desert of Sahara. The German colonies lie on both sides of the conti' nent, beginning with the province of Togo on the west and in spots ex- tending as far south as Cape Colony. Togoland is about as big as Indiana. It lies only few degrees above the equator on the Gulf of Guinea and Is notoriously unhealthy.
 Every German who goes there gets the fever and all attempts at colonial ton have failed.

Emancipation for the Mule.

Booker T. Washington insists that the negro is not ungrateful, and, al- though the younger generation may like to lose sight of the fact that their grandmothers and grandfathers were slaves, those grandmothers and grand fathers themselves do not forget it. In Illustrating this he tells the story of an old colored man who saw the old street cars being replaced by cars driv- en by electricity, and exclaimed: De Tank came down here 30 years ago to free de niggah, and now, glory be, dey is gwine to free de mewlw

Where the Old Gallows Stood.

Where the Old Gallows Stood.
 Workmen engaged in making an ex- cavation within few steps of the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn bridge a few days ago unearthed a number of human skulls and quantity of bones. The only explanation is as follows Before the War of the Revolution the gallows stood on this spot, and 1t was the custom to bury those executed at the foot of the gallows. It is supposed the bones found this week were those of criminals hanged over r25 years ago.

Tired, Nervous Women.

There are thousands of them every where. A few bottles of Peruna would do them untold benefit. As tonic and nerve invigorator it has no equal. It builds up the nerves, it gives strength to the circulation and at once restores the appetite and diges- tion. No feeble woman should be without Peruna.
Holbrook argus., 1904-04-09

If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results form the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr.. Hart- man, giving full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
