So PER FUNNY STORY.

Millionaire for Jokes.

Court Scaled the Price Charged a
Millionaire for Jokes.
Ten dollars per funny story told
to amuse an eccentric old man may
sound like high pay; but when one
considers that the teller of these
stories, Capt Ijams, had to endure
the company of the eccentric old
man. the late Abraham Brokaw of
Bloomington, ILL.,, for weeks and
months, it would seem that $40
apiece is not too much. Brokaw
was worth millions of dollars. He
was old and equity and rheumatic
and cross. He said women who
wanted to marry him were contin-
ually worrying him, so he employed
Ijams to keep the women off and
at the same time amuse him with
anecdotes. Brokaw died without
paying his comedian-guardian, and
liam brought suit against the estate.
He said he had told the old man
1000 stories and thought he ought
to have $4,000. The court, how
ever, scaled the account to $4,000
and added $50 for good measure.

In Praise of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy.

There is no other medicine manu-
featured that has received so much
praise and so many expressions of
gratitude as Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. 1t is effective, and prompt
relief follows its use. Grateful par
ents everywhere do not hesitate to
testify to it's merits for the benefit
of others. 1t is a certain cure for
Group and will prevent the attack
if given at the first appearance of
the disease. 1t is especially adapted
to children, as it is pleasant to take
and contains nothing injurious. Mr..
E. A. Humphreys, a well known res

One Good Reason.

Two old friends on the street
locking arms, strolled slowly along,
discussing various topics. Personal
ones were touched upon at last, and
after exchanging family solicitudes
for several moments, the judge asked
the major:
"And dear old Mrs. -, your
aunt She must be rather feeble
now. Tell me, how is she?
Buried her yesterday" said the
major.
Buried her? Dear me! dear me!
Is the good old lady dead?"
Yes; that's why we buried her, -
said the major.

HE HAS NO COUNTRY
Man on Ship Would Like to Land
Somewhere, But He Cannot.

Man on Ship Would Like to Land
Somewhere, But He Cannot.
An unwilling passenger on a ship
that does not want him, sailing to
port where he does not want to
go, and which is more than likely to
turn him back, is Karl Kessler, a
man without a country and without
reputation. immigration laws have
produced his predicament
Unless Kessler can establish that
he is not an escaped convict he will
be forced by the immigration regu-
lation to remain aboard the four
masted ship Kentmere, which is at
quarantine, New York. He has been
on the Kentmere for four months,
in a half-and-half position between
passenger, cabin-boy and stowaway
He wants to come ashore, saying
he has relatives in Brooklyn. The
captain wants him to go ashore, but
made the mistake of telling the Off
Gals that he had served eleven years
for burglary in prison in Loren
20 Marquee, Portuguese East Afri-
ca. Kessler says he is a respectable
ranch owner and victim of police
conspiracy.
Every time Kessler has tried to
land he has been brought back to
the ship in irons. The only country
open to him is Germany, and it will
be year or more before the Kent
mere will sail back to Germany. All
Kessler has done since he has been
aboard is to wash the clothes of the
other sailors, eat three square meals
a day, and smoke himself black in
the face.
He is lost on the bosom of the
seven wide seas, with no place like
home and nobody that wants him.

WANTS TOBACCO CUT OUT
Rev. III. p. Meyers Is Tired of the
spit Red Variety Of Parsons.

During the session of the South
Georgia Conference, which has just
adjourned at Valdosta, Rev. H. P.
Myers read a resolution from the
South Macon district calling upon
the conference to require every
preacher to promise to abstain from
the use of tobacco before being re-
ceived into the conference.
The resolution was referred to
the committee on temperance, and
Rev Mr. Myers gave notice that if
the resolution died before the COM
mittee it would be resurrected on
the conference floor. The matter
was not seriously regarded by the
majority of the conference.

COTTON NEXT TO CORN.
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE
VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Annual Report of Secretary of Agri-
culture Shows the Farm Still
Ahead of the Factory as a
Producer of Wealth.

Ahead of the Factory as a
Producer of Wealth.
The annual report of the secre-
tary of agriculture makes a show
ing of agricultural wealth of which
there is reason to be proud. The
farm still stands ahead of the fac
tory as a producer of wealth, and
the south produces the crop that
brings the most money into the coun-
try. The value of the corn crop
is estimated to be eleven hundred
million dollars, and that of the cot
ton crop to be six hundred and for
ty million dollars. But it shouldn't
be forgotten that the south produces
a considerable per cent of the corn,
while the north produces no cotton,
unless Oklahoma is classed as a
northern state.
The hay crop comes pretty close
to the cotton crop, being valued at
six hundred million dollars, but the
south is also, to some extent, pro-
Queer of hay. The wheat crop is
valued at four hundred and fifty
million dollars and oat crop at three
hundred million, potatoes at one
hundred and fifty million and barley
at sixty-five million. The south,
however is a producer of all OF
these crops, but not on such an ex-
tensive scale as the north. A sur
prising crop is that of beet sugar,
which, for the current year, is val
ued at thirty-four million dollars,
more than half of the value of the
tobacco crop. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that the beet sugar grow
ers make such a fight against any
reduction in the sugar tariff. The
south is perhaps as deeply interest
ed in the sugar tariff as the north.
Her cane fields produce more sugar
than the northern beet fields, the
value of the total output of cane
and beet fields being seventy-five
million dollars.
In the matter of exports of the
products of the farm the south
leads. The total value of such ex-
ports for the year ending June 80
was nine hundred and seventy-mil-
lion dollars OF this amount four
hundred million dollars was for the
south's cotton. Without the cotton
exports the country would import
more farm products than it exports.
While the home consumption of
cotton is increasing all the time it
is practically certain that the pro-
duction of cotton is also increasing,
and will continue to increase.
Therefore, there isn't likely to be a
falling off in the value of the cotton
exported unless the price falls so
low that it wouldn't be profitable to
produce it. With her cotton the
south will forge ahead in wealth as
fast, if not faster, than the north
with her corn.-Savannah News.

Montreal Nov 2. 1908.
We found Peruna relief In several
cases.
We can say 1T Is a good tonic and we
are very thankful
Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system, it becomes an obstinate dis
ease to eradicate.
A systemic remedy-one that reaches
every internal organ of the body-is an
absolute necessity.
Peruna is just such remedy. 1t
searches out the cause of the disease,
healing and strengthening the mucous
membranes, and thus giving Nature an
opportunity to perform her part of the
restorative process.
One of the many hospitals which
have found Peruna of value in treating
old and obstinate cases of catarrh is the
Hospital st. John, who write, as
follows:
awe are happy to tell you that your
Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three
patients have tried it, one IS years old,
Renoui Dupuis, afflicted with catarrh, is
much relieved, more than he has been
for number of years.
"a young girl, IS years old, had an
obstinate cough, which half a bottle of
Peruna caused to disappear.
GAS to myself, two bottles have con-
vinced me that Peruna is magnificent
as a tonic.

NATARRH of the respiratory organs
- is a common ailment in Canada for
at least two. thirds of the year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was dis
covered by Canadian people to be q re-
liable remedy for these catarrhal dis
eases, it at once became popular medi-
cine, not only among individuals and
in families, but in the great hospitals,
where it was used as preventative and
relief in hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that of
the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave
the following endorsement:
TIE Peruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio.
Having used Peruna for the past few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
happy to say that it has given us great
satisfaction.
The Sisters of the Good Shepherd,
August 20, 1905. Montreal
After continued use of the remedy,
this institution has found no reason to
change its good opinion of the remedy
and expresses its satisfaction in the fol-
lowing terms:
If your druggist does not kt
bottle, ST, or six bottles, SIS, to
icine will be forwarded to you
Ask Your Drugg

"Before the treatment 1 could not
walk for quarter of an hour without
experiencing much fatigue. Now can
walk mile easily.
Through these three cases we desire
to make known to the public the eff.
ficiency of your remedy"
Hospital st. John, of st. Johns.
Province of Quebec.
A later letter received from the same
institution reads as follows:
"T,hree weeks ago \ wrote to tell
you how satisfactory we found
Peruna. We recommend Ii highly for
colds, coughs, cafarrh and neuraLgia.
81 have used it myself as tonic with
the best results, taken as directed, half
teaspoonful every half hour"
Peruna not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds in their first stages,
but is equally prompt and efficient for
catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage.
OF course, it is only reasonable toI
suppose that great deal less medicineI
will be necessary to cure slight attack
of catarrh than would be required to
relieve the ailment after it had been al
lowed to become chronic.
Directions for taking the remedy will
be found on each bottle, also in DR..
Hartman's book, called 'The Ills of
Life" which can be obtained from yourl
druggist for the asking.
For special instructions write to DR..

PUBLIC CONVENIENCE STATION.
Recommendation as to Contract for
Construction.

The contract for constructing public con-
yenience station No. on the reservation
at the intersection of 1874 and e streets
and Pennsylvania avenue, will be awarded
to Ambrose B. Stannard If the recommen-
dation of Commissioner Biddle is followed.
Two bidders submitted proposals for the
work. May II being the date on which the
bids were opened. The offer of Mr.. STAN
nard was s1S,500, while James Dunn bid
for the job at s20.99o.
Considerable discussion was had before
the Commissioner made his recommended
ton. Mr.. Dunn protested against the
Stannard bid, since it was accompanied by
a non-certified check for $1,000 instead of
a receipt from the collector of taxes show
ing that the money had been placed to the
credit of the District.
Various opinions of the heads of the de-
partments concerned We're rendered and
these were gone over by Col. Biddle, with
the result that he decided to favor Mr..
Stannard, as he is regarded as a contrac-
tor of repute, no doubt being entertained
that his uncertified check is good for the
amount on its face, and as his bid was
very much lower than that of Mr.. Dunn.
