luck to be good luck In fishing. Back
on my stone perch flung my line into

the water Just below the little cat

fully as prompt, nearly lost me my

Our government is constantly called
upon to protect American citizens"
who become involved In difficulties
abroad. This protection is one of the
most important Of its duties, and yet
one Of the most delicate and embar-
RAISING. If performed at all 1t must
be performed promptly and effectively,
and yet the department is always
handicapped by the probability that
such applicants are impudent impos-
tors or well-meaning dupes. 1t is safe
to say that majority OF the so-called
American citizens who appeal for in
tervention in their behalf are foreign
ers by birth who have taken out, or
pretend to have taken out, naturaliza-
ton papers for the express purpose Of
returning to the land of their nativity
and there engaging in pursuits more
Or less acceptable to the authorities.

DIVIDING tho rfpe.

Tipping has been reduced to q very
nne system In some English hotsls and
restaurants. II was sitting at meat
with the manager Of one Of the well
known London restaurants" says 4
writer. "T am short-sighted and I'M
observant.' said, and a. I never
know one waiter from another I'm al
ways uneasy lest I've tipped the wrong
one. The manager laughed. Fritz,
bring the book he said. The book
was opened upon the table and dis
closed columns and rows Of figures OBJ.
posits the names Of walters. Between
them the manager and Fritz explained
the system.
Every penny given In tips was cast
into common fund In charge Of q
waiter elected BY his fellows. At the
end Of the week the sum was distrib-
uted Three classes were arranged by
the manager. according to efficiency,
and tho shares were in corresponding
proportions. 20 that the junior who
hovers with the sauce IL by no means
equally rewarded with the expert who
can advise in the matter Of wine.
Walters keep jealous eye on their
fellows, and the man suspected OF
pocketing a tip finds his position un-
tenable. The system is good for the
public, since it diminishes the unpleas-
ant personality of charitable action
1t Is good, too, for the walters, since
that record of the weekly gratuities
showed that the best walters made
about $1,000 a year in tips"

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is
that it contains no narcotic of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
It can be used any length Of time
without acquiring drug habit. Pc
|runa does not produce temporary re-
suits. It is permanent in it's effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
ARE multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such thing could not be pos
|sible if Peruna contained any drugs Of
Ia narcotic nature.

Sam Jones' Roast.

saloon petitions. This report is from q
Sig0urney paper:
"This nice little Iowa town, with n
farming region around it makes one OF
garden spots of tho world /; hut with all
your blessings you can't get along with
out three saloons to debauch your village
and ruin your boys. because you need
the money.
"Here Mr.. Jones inquired of the sur
prised audience. How much is the H.
censeq Some one answered. Three
hundred each to the town. Nine hun
dred dollars altogether, resumed Jones.
What is your population 7 Answer, two
thousand, speaker then did a little
lightning calculation, and resumed.
"The liquor dealer walked up to you
and said. IT you will let na damn this
town, wa will give you forty cents a
piece" Say, what would a two hundred
pound hog bring9
Answer, twelve dollars. So tesum-
ed Jones, hogs twelve dollars a piece
and folks forty cents a head. Say, broth.
er, don't You wish you were a hog 3?

enough ia this town to buy a sucking

sum of forty cents a piece you turn over

II want to drop this out. There is not
a man of you that signed that petition
to bring saloons to this town, or country
but deserves that every boy you have
in your home shall fill a drunkara's
grave, and your daughters live in the
embraces of drunken husbands. What
did you sign it for yon lousy devilsq Ii

ing your boy would not drink, but that
your neighbours would. Why don't you
say. To tell you the God Almighty
truth, | did it for the forty cents 1t
the devil don't get you for it, it is just
because he don't want you, and every
man that did sign that petition, the
devil will get the last man of you, but,
thank God, he won't get much. 1t you
