WHEN THE BED GOES ROUND
But Smith Was Too Wise to Wait on
the Procession.

THAT was an amusing story about
the fourth time it came around. 1t
reminded me-" continued the narrator
"of the first time ! heard the bed
phrase. 1t happened in Harrisburg,
where / was then stationed, and it
happened to legislator whom shall
call Smith.
"At the first session Smith became
famous for his ability to comfortably
carry more liquor than any other man
in the legislature. At the opening of
the second session some Philadel-
phians got together and put up job
on Smith. They arranged relays, so
that when one party had enough an
other should take hold, and thus keep
going until they had Smith down and
out. Well, they began with Smith
one evening, and after two relays had
succumbed their successors noted
with much satisfaction that Smith
was mixing his beverages-they
didn't know that was his custom, and
he fooled them all. The bout con-
tinued all night and all of the next
day, and when the second evening
came Smith was the only man able
to get away unaided.
Several days later I asked Smith
how he got along after he reached his
hotel. when 1 got into my ROOM"
he replied, Il saw procession OF
beds coming in my direction. I

Poets in Parliament

The candidacy of the comic plav
wright, Tristan Bernard, for seat
in the French chamber recalls tbe
facts that within decade only one
poet OF repute-Maurice Barres-has
been member of a parliamentary
body, and that Lamartine was the only
eminent poet who was also a great no.
litical orator. The younger Dumas
was once asked why he did not try for
a seat in the chamber of deputies to
advocate his ideas Of divorce. He re-.
piled that he might fare like the editor
Emile de Girardin, who one day WAC
violently attacked in an assembly. He
rushed on the tribunal with furions
mien and everybody was eager to hear
his answer. Re glared for a moment
at his tribunal and then exclaimed in

LAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. 1t
j i is caused by some itating SUBJ
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack of the disease.
A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give Peruna trial.
1t has proven of priceless value to
many people.
