achieved a victory. don't know
WEATHER the king said that just to wake
dad up, cause dad had a grand army but,
ton on his coat, but dad choked up lit
tie, and then began to explode, little at
time, like bunch of firecrackers, and
finally he went of all in a bunch. Dad
said: Look here, Mr.. King, some
one has got you all balled up about that
war. l know, because was in 1t, and
now the north and the south are United,
and can whip any country that wants to-
fight a champion, and will go out and
get reputation, by gosh"
The king laughed at touching dad on,
and asked dad what was the matter Of
America and Great Britain getting to-
gether and making all nations know
when they had better keep their places.
and quit talking about fighting. Dad,
said he never would consent to America
and Great Britain getting together to fight
any country until Ireland got justice and
was ready to come into camp on an
equality, and the king said he would an
swer for the Irishmen of Ireland If dad
would pledge the Irishmen of America,
cause we had about as many Irishmen,
in America as he had in Ireland, and dad,
said ifthe king would give Ireland what,
she asked for, he would see that the
Irishmen in America would sing God,
Save the King. I guess dad and the!
king would have settled the Irish ques-'
ito in about fifteen minutes, and signed,
a treaty, only servant brought in q,
two-quart bottle OF champagne, and,
dad and the king hadn't drank a quartz
apiece before dad started to sing my!

King" and, by thunder, it was the same,
tune, and tears came into dads eyes, and
the king took out his handkerchief and
wiped his nose, and bellered right out.
and the king rose and offered toast to
America and everybody in it, and they
swallered it, and dad said there was
enough juice left in the bottle for one
more round, and he proposed toast to
all the people of Great Britain, including
the Irish, and the king who loved them,
and down she went, and they were stand
ing up. And told dad it was time to go.
Say, it was great, Uncle Ezra, and
wish you could have been there, and
there had been another bottle. The only
thing that happened to mar the reunion
OF dad and the king, was when we were
going out backwards, bowling. There
was little hassock back of me. and
kicked it back of dad, and when dads
heels struck it, he went over backwards
and struck on his golf pants, and dad
said: eel, Emery, Fave broken my
bloomink back, but who cares" and
when the servants picked dad up and
took him out in the hall, and marched us
to the entrance, dad got in the cab, gave
the grand hailing sign of distress,
started to sing God save something or
other, and went to sleep in the cab, andI
took him to the hotel. Yours.

After we had marched about three

noble grand and the senior warden. and
the exalted ruler, We came to a bronze
door as big as the gate to a cemetery,

We bowed and dad made courtesy
like an old woman, and the king came
forward with a smile that ought to be
initiated by every Englishman. They
all initiate his clothes and his hats and
his shoes, but he seems to be the only
Englishman that smiles. May be it is

London, H'england.-DearU Uncle Ezra:
The worst is over, and dad and l have
both touched king. Not the way you
think, touching king for hand-out, or
borrowing his loose change, the way you
used to touch dad when you had to pay
for your goods, but just taking hold of
his hand, and shaking it in good old
United States fashion.
The American minister arranged it for
US. He told somebody that Peck's Bad
Boy and his dad were in town, and just
wanted to size up king, and see how he
averaged up with United States politi-
clans, and the king set an hour for us
to CALL
Well, you'd dide to see dad fix up.
Everybody said, when we showed our
card at the hotel, notifying us that we
were expected at Marlboro House at such
time that We would be expected to put
on plenty of dog. That is what an
American from Kalamazoo, who sells
breakfast food, said, and the hotel peo-
pie said we would be obliged to wear
knee breeches, and dancing pumps, and
silk socks, and all that kind of rot, and
mems furnishers began to call upon us
to take our measure for clothes, but
when they told us how much it would
cost, dad kicked. He said he had a golf
suit he had made in Oshkosh at the time
OF the tournament, that everyone in
Oshkosh said was out of sight, and was
good enough for any king, and so he
rugged up in it, and hired a suit at
masquerade place, and dad hired coat,
kind of red, to go with his golf pants. and
socks, and he wore canvas tennis shoes.

century book, but dad looked like
clown in circus. One of dads calves
made him look as though he had milk
leg, cause the padding would not stay
around where the calf ought to be, but

went to Marlboro House in hanson cab,
and all the way there the driver kept
looking down from the hurricane deck,

were there yet. and he must have talked

4 JUDGES WIFE "a. s ~ ~ =. .,,z
Quickly Cured by a Short
Course of Pe-Tu-na.

MFRS. MINNIE E. McALLISTER,
Av4 wife OF Judge McAllister, writes
from 1917 West S3rd street, Mime
| applis, Mimi, as follows:
sIsuffered for years with q pain In
the small of my back and right side. It
inferfened often with my domestic and
social duties and / never that
I would be cured, as fhe DOCTORS med.
icine did NOT seem to help me any.
Fortunately member of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that decided to try
1t. Although started in with little
faith, felt so much better in q week
that felt encouraged.
II took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that / am entirely cured
"Wonds fail to express my gratitude.
Perfect health once more Is the best
thing could wish for, and thanks to
Peruna, enjoy that now"
Pain in the back, or on the right side.
How often a physician hears this
complaint
Over and over we hear women say:
have pain in the small of my back.
l have pain in my right side, just be-
low the ribs"
These symptoms indicate pelvic or
abdominal catarrh.
They indicate that the bowels are not
acting properly-that the liver is out of
order--that the pelvic organs are con-
gested.
Pelvic catarrh-thatis the name for It.
Peruna cures pelvic cafarrh, when
all of these symptoms disappear.
The catarrh may be all in the abb
dominal organs, when it would be
properly called abdominal catarrh.
At any rate, it is one of those cases Of
internal catarrh which can be reached
only by a. course of treatment with
Peruna.
We have on file thousands of testi-
monials similar to the above. 1t is inn
possible here to give our readers more
than one or two specimens of the num-
Der of grateful and commendatory let
tiers DR.. Hartman is constantly receiv-
ing in behalf of his famous catarrh
remedy, Peruna.

ing deliberate Misrepresentation as to
