The Welsh Servant Girl.

She came into the drawing room
there were visitors presently and
said: eff you please, William Hughes
has come. He says he has no head
and has sold his tongue" This ex-
traordinary information startled me
for moment until l remembered
that L had ordered calf's head and
an OK tongue Of Hughes, the local
butcher. Another Welsh maiden in
South Wales sent in a singular mes
sage one evening by my English
maid. She brought "Mrs. Grifith's
love, and she hoped my strange peo-
pie were well after their journey"
Mrs. Griffith, near neighbor, had
called in the morning and been told
by me that l expected relatives,
whom she had met, from Wands-
worth thai afternoon, so she had
sent polite inquiries, and as visitors
are in the Welsh language designat-
ed strangers, the Welsh servant had,
for the benefit of the English one,
translated it into strange people" "

An Insect Curiosity Shop.

Properly considered, a beehive
is wonderful shop, and each indi-
vidual insect is curiosity. The in
habitants of a hive are classed as
drones, workers and queen. The
queen is the mother Of every insect
in the hive, unless she has been in
stalled instead Of a queen who has
died and left the hive without a
mistress. This queen bee is the
wonder of the whole insect tribe as
far as egg laying is concerned, often
depositing 1000 eggs day for days
in succession during the most pro-
ductive season. The chief wonder
connected with the worker bee is
the admirable manner in which his
body is shaped and fitted with in
struments for honey gathering.
These natural instruments consist
Of cups, combs, brushes, knives, fun
nels, scrapers, etc, each of which is
worthy Of a week of careful and
painstaking study under a high
grade microscope.

Where the Bird Felt Safe.

A city gentleman was invited
down 10 the country for "a day with
the birds" Whatever his powers in
finance, his shooting was not re-
markable for its accuracy, to the
great disgust Of the man in attend
ance, whose tip was generally regu-
lated by the size of the bag. "Dear
me-" at last exclaimed the sports
man, "but the birds seem exception
ally strong on the wing this yearl"
''Not all of 'em, sir" came the re-
mark. you've shot at the same
bird about dozen times. 'E's a-fol-
lerin' you about, SIR"
Following me about? Nonsense
Why should bird do that?"
"Well, sir" came the reply, 81

HIS eRAcE's suspENDERs.
Glover Ruse by Which WolIineton's
Autocraph Was Secured.

Toward The latter years of the
Duke Of Wellington's life it was
next to impossible to coax OF whee-
die his autograph out of him. All
the stratagems used to get reply
from him TO letters failed He either
did not answer them at all or di-
rected his private secretary to do so,
and thus the famous signature Of
"Wellington" became rarity high
ly priced by collectors.
Apropos of this London Answers
tells of a London lady who had an
album garnished with the. auto
graphs of most of the great men of
the day, but wanted that of the
"great captain" She mentioned her
distress to friend, certain Mr.. H.,
and few days after he, to her great
surprise and pleasure, brought her
a note from the hand Of the victor
of Waterloo. 1t ran thus:
Field Marshal the Duke of wellington
never ordered pair of braces of Messrs.
ton had ordered the articles, he could not
forget It, r. NJ. the Duke of wellington
always pays for his braces.
This was a very odd document for
a lady's album, but its authenticity
was undoubted, and it therefore
found the best place in the interest
ing collection. The way in which
this singular note was elected was
this
Mr.. H. filled up one of the bank
ruptcy court forms and signed it,
informing the duke that in winding
up the affairs Of Messrs. Simpkin he
(the assignee) found on their books
the sum of IS. Cd. due by his grace
for a pair of braces, which he re-
quested the duke would Immediately
pay or have paid. Mr.. HIS ruse was
founded on pure fiction, but it sue
ceeded.

NEGLECT A COLD.
Neglected Colds Lead to Consumption.
How Consumption Develops,


Nine cases OF consumption out OF ten
occur In this way;
A person catches cold. The cold Is pot
properly cured, and another cold Is
caught.
/ This cold is dilly-dallied with, either
by no treatment whatever or some treat
ment that is Intellectual, and the cold
continues.
Then another cold ts caught and q
cough develops. Cough syrups are rs-
sorted to, but they give only temporary
relief.
BY and by the patient gets tired OF
taking medicines and cough syrups and
gives up in despair.
The cold continues to develop and s1e
cough grows worse.
| Then the doctor is called in, only to
discover that the patient is in the first
stages of consumption.
1t was just in this way that Miss
Powell, of Aurora, Ind, became sick.
She caught cold, and not considering
1t serious, neglected 1t, thinking az
many others do, thatitwould "wcar off."
However, it clung to ner tenaciously,
and in two weeks she found her health
in q serious condition.
Fortunately, Pcruna had been brought
to her notice, and she took course OF
this remedy before it was too latc.
In week the cough and cold were
broken, and n three weeks treatment
completely restored her to health.
This is what Peruna is doing all the
while. Not a day, and probably not an
hour passes in which some one does not
have similar experience with Peruna.
Cure the Slight Colds and Avoid
Consumption.
The first step toward consumption is
n cold. The next step is failure to cure
it promptly. The third step is the de-
velopment of catarrh, which gradually
becomes chronic. The fourth step, tho
catarrh begins to spread from the head
to the throat, then to the bronchial
tubes, and finally into the lungs. 1t is
then consumption in the first stage.
tany time during the progress of ca
tarrh, from the first onset of the cold to-
it's final settlement in the lungs, Peruna
can be relied upon to stop the diseaGe.,
If you have taken q cold, buy Peruna'
: without delay. One bottle in the be-.
ginning will do more good than a half
dozen bottles after the catarrh has
fastened itself on the lungs.
thousands of Testimonials.
yVc have on flo thousands of testi-
inonials from people who have been
cured of catarrh of the lungs by Peruna.
We can give our readers only slight
glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited
endorsements we are receiving every
month. Noother physician in the world
has received such volume of enthu-
J siastic letters of thanks as DIR. Hartman.

closed last Friday for the holiday
vacation.
The Grammar school entertain
ed the other grades with debate,
recitations and songs. The ques-
tlon debated was, "Resolved That
Country Life Is More Pleasant
Than City Life" The debaters
on the affirmative were Ross A.
Shaw, Florence Bennett, Ora Kel-
ly, and Margaret McLain. On
the side Of the negative were
Grace Trobridge, Edna Kreibel,
Porter McLain, Burl Goodwin ard
Lawrence Courier. Time d
space forbid a summary of the
speeches, but suffice it to say they
were all animated and interesting
The decision of the judges were in
favor of tie affirmative by one
point. Following the debate, Re
citations were delivered by Ora
Kelly and Ross A. Shaw, vo-
cal solo, changing Up the Baby's
Stockings by Fay Clark, with
organ accompaniment, by Edna
Kreibel. This was a most excel
lent rendition considering that
Miss Clark is but ten years cid.
This was followed by humorous
song, GLOW the Farmer Feeds His
Calf" by a quartette of girls,
Grace Trobridge, Florence Corbin,
Grace Miller and Florence Ben
nett-rendered with organ accom-
paniment. This selection was re-
ceived with well-merited applause.
According to custom, the pu'
pills were given the conventional
treat, but many of them retaliated
with gifts and souvenirs as tokens
of their friendship and goodwill
for their teachers. We have not
