Natives of the northeast coast Of

coffin is carried outside the house and

the pajlbearers lift up their burden

Hon. David Meekison began his po-

which he lives.
He was elected to the Fifty-ifth Con-

his section of the state.
Only one flaw married the otherwise
complete success of this rising states

Catarrh with its insidious approach

HAD CATARRH THIRTY YEARS
Congressman Gives Praise to Pe-ru-na for His
Recovery.
Neglected Colds Lead to Ca
tarrh--Negiected Catarrh
Becomes Chronic.

The fact that catarrh will continue
to aftiict one person for thirty years
shows how chronic the disease really is.
When catarrh has once fastened itself
upon the human system, it shows a
disposition to remain.
Catarrh is not setf-curative nor self-elm-
NATIVE. II continues as long as it is al
lowed TO remain.
Catarrh is naturally a chronic disease
and continues to grow worse, not bet
ter.
For thirty years Cong. Meekison had
catarrh, and yet he experienced cure
by the use of Peruna.
Surely, if Peruna will cure a case Of
catarrh that has run thirty years, it
will cure more recent cases.
There are probably ten million Of incurred
cases of catarrh in the United States alone.
What multitude of victims this isl
What an ocean of encouragement and
unhappiness What Niagara of an
guish and sufferingl
In all probability Peruna would
quickly cure every one of these cases.
Taken according to the directions, Pc
runa rarely fails to cure any case of
chronic catarrh.
Indeed, if it ever fails, it is because
of some complication entirely one side
from catarrh.

"a RAINY DAY TRsAT."


When the Folsoms were children

mother conceived the idea of giving
them what she called "a rainy-da
treat" They lived two miles from

Oh the year a storm kept them

FOR the older folk, for seven
healthy children could overrun the
place, and leave no quiet corner for
reading or writing or talking. So the
neyer-tired mother would set on foot
a corn-popping, or an apple-roasting,
OF charade party, OF a picture-past-
ing bee" or spelling school, or a
candy-pull. Whatever the treat
was, mother was the leading spirit In
It, and every child had a good time,
and helped the others to do the same.
Many years passed over the happy
family. One by one they left the old
farm, until no one was left but dear
Aunt Eunice," as everybody called
her-the good angel Of many a family,
although she had no children Of her
own. Living alone in the old house.
she was not free from lonely lodgings
for the merry days Of childhood and
youth.
Out Of the homesick desire for kins-
folk she could no longer call about
her, grew her plan for "a rainy-day
day treat" of her own. Whenever a
storm shut her In, she set about con-
irving some unexpected pleasure for
somebody. Once 1t was long letter
to poor old Betty Sweet, who was in
the almshouse at Barton, fifteen miles
away, and who longed for news Of her
former neighbors. Another time she
made some of her old-fashioned mo-
lasses candy, and packed a generous
box Of 1t for the Widow Drown, to
whom no onehad given a package OF
sweets since she was a girl.
She knitted a bright scarlet sweater
for Dick Toy, half-witted boy whose
mother could scarcely find food for his
mouth, much less clothes for his back.
She selected and packed Off a bundle
OF books for Mary Flint, kept in bed
for three months by broken hip, and
eager for reading to pass the long.
slow days. One day she spent in writ
ing to the minister a note of thanks
for his last Sundays sermon, and to
the sexton word of appreciation Tor
the thorough cleaning he had given the
church.
So Aunt Eunice's "rainy-day treat
reached far and wide throughout her
little circle, and left many a life the
richer, because into her life had come
a day cold, dark and dreary," whose
dreariness she had conquered by the
radiance of good works.-Youth's Com

GAVE A GOOD DESCRIPTION.
New Maid Identified e Caller for Her
Mistress.

IF diction not quite in accordauce

said one of Washington's society lead
ers at a luncheon one day last week,
IN tell you q little experience l had
with my new maid in trying to locate
a caller, who came one day last week
during my absence from home.
There is one woman on my list
who really haunts my dreams, and
feel only relief when our calls are re-
turned. Her face is the picture of
frozen vivacity, and her smile, when
she does smile, looks as If K had been
done up in curl paper over night. At
any rate, the moment she enters the
door l feel chilled, and every thought
becomes CONCEALED. l can never think
of one sensible thing to say. She so
wildly bears the hall marks of being
determined to pay this call, and have
it over with, that l am In one tur-
moil Of discontinue for fear | will

she would. No mask, or forced enthu-
siasm, or uninterrupted sparkling
glances from her. She is at all times

glance at our lists and discover ten,
and frequently more calls to be made

nap might serve, but there are 'dn-

comply, and, therefore, say go about
them cheerfully, or pretend to, which
amounts to the same thing.

In the district of stavanger, in the
southwestern part Of Norway. there is
a place called Jaederen, fat strip Of
coast less than mile long, which is
notorious for shipwrecks. Now a Nor
wegian physicist has discovered that
the sand of Jaederen is strongly mag
netic, owing to an admixtu-e Of mag
netic iron ore. He found also that at
a distance of three miles from the
shore a ships compass showed a devia-
ton Of a whole degree from its true
position. The cause OF the numerous
shipwrecks, therefore. is obvious.
