a bold burglar. who had entered the
residence through the cellar. She
heard a noise in the house and get
ting up, looked all around and went

reau drawer and peering out in the
moonlit room, saw the bold fellow,
shoeless and coatless, looking for
money. Mrs. Ehr while a little
frightened, exclaimed, .You get out
Of her, you scoundrel. I've been
looking for you for fifteen minutes"
The man did not wish to go evidently
for there he stood in a crouching po-
sition. Mrs. Ehr did not have re-
volver but put up a good bluff and
said II have revolver and will
put bullet through you If you do
not get right out of here" He flew
past her like a flash and went into
the cellar and out the outside stairs.
He grabbed his coat and shoes on
the cellar door as he went and flew
to the woods. Mr.. Ehr is in Mon
tana and his wife and little ones Were

OF Course He Could.

In a certain county court short
time ago. an action was raised for the
payment of a sum of $125, the pur-
chase price of a picture. The defend
ant refused payment on the ground
that the picture was practically worth
less, and paid $40 into court as its ap-
proXimate value Among other wit
nesses called for the complainant was
the artist who had painted the canvas,
and he was subjected to very severe
Discrimination.

the canvas, which was prominently dis
played in court. that there is the
least trace of artistic merit about that
daub?'

quiet answer.

Charged With Murderous Assault on
Deputies.

Hayward, Wis, May 2.-Valentine
Weisenbach, the alleged confederate
of John F. Deitz, for whom a warrant
was issued last May, was arrested
and brought to Hayward by Sheriff
James Gylland of Sawyer county Sat
urday night. Weisenbach is charged
with assault with intent to kill and is
accused of having assisted Dietz last
May when the latter attacked the dep
uties sent to capture him. The men
are said to have awaited the deputies
in ambush and many shots were eX-
changed. The case will attract great
interest, as the evidence is the same
as would be used against Dietz IL he
was to be tried.

A THLETES realize the Importance
\ of keeping in good bodily trim.
The digestion must be good, the Cir
culation perfect, sleep regular and
enough of it.
If the slightest catarrhal condition OF
lungs or stomach is allowed to remain,
neither digestion nor sleep will be
strength-sustaining.
Those who lead very active lives.
like athletes, with good muscular de.
veIopmenf, find the spring months
especially trying.
Athletes everywhere praise Peruna
because they, of all men, appreciate
the value of tonic that dispels phys
zeal depression.
The vocation of some men may allow
then, to endure the depressing feelings
incident to spring weather, but the
athlete must never allow himself to get
"under the weather."
He must keep in the 'pink of condi-
ton" all the time.
In order to do this he must avail him
self of a spring tonic upon which he
can rely.
Therefore athletes are especially
friendly toward Peruna.
Peruna never fails them.
