DR.. 8. b. Hartman, the inventor and
Original manufacturer Of Peruna, Is one
OF the best farmers in the Middle West.
His farm comprises several thousand
acres OF the best land in the State of
Ohio, located near the City OF Columbus.
Asan importer OF French Percheron
and German Coach horses, the Doctor
has not an equal in this country.
The fowl-raising department is .
marvel Of ingenuity and perfection;
but, perhaps the dairy department is
where the Doctor shows his greatest
sense of order and sanitary science.
His milk cows, of the purest Jersey
stock, have all been subjected to the
tuberculin tests, and he gives to the
City OF Columbus pure milk, certified
by the Board of Health.
The milk stables, the milk men and
the whole process of milking are alb
solutely faultless and clean.
The Doctor himself, past 70 years ofage,
is the managing head Of the farm.

the store commanded by the ecstatic
and inimical clerk. There were shouts;
the sleepy square beginning to wake
up; the bench loafers strOlled to
the street; the aged men stirred and
rose from their chairs; faces appeared
In the open windows of offices; sales
ladies and gentlemen came to the door

when Responsibility emerged from the
grocery he had notable audience for

Another potato. flung by the pimpled,
uproarious. prodigal clerk, added to
the impetus of his flight A shower Of
pebbles from the hands of exhilarated
boys denied the soft asphalt about
him. The hideous clamor of the pur-
suing bell increased as he turned the
next corner, running distractedly. The
dead town had come to life, and its
Inhabitants gladly risked the danger
GUS heat In the interest of sport, where
by it was merry chase the little dog
led around the block. For thus some
destructive instinct drove him. He
could not stop with the unappeasable
terror changing at his heels and the
Increasing crowd yelling in pursuit, but
he turned to the left at each corner
and thus came back to pass Joe's stair
way again, unable to pause there or
anywhere, unable to do anything ex-
cept to continue his hap]ess flight, poor
meteor.
Round the block he went once more,
and still no chance at that empty stair
way, where perhaps. he thought, there
might be succor and safety. Blood was
upon his side where Martin Pixies boot
had crashed, foam and blood hung
upon his jaws and lolling tongue. He
ran desperately, keeping to the mid
die Of the street, and, not bowling, set
himself despairingly to outstrip the
terror. The mob, disdaining the sun
superbly, pursued as closely as 1t could,
throwing bricks and rocks at him,
striking at him with clubs and sticks.
Happy Fear, playing "tic-tac-toe," right

that it was friend whose life was

profoundly that the butterfly,
4 4 which exhibited no annoyance,
had been of greater bulk and more APP
proachable, and it was the evil fortune
of Joe's mongrel to encounter him In
the sinister humOr of such wish I'M
fulfilled
Responsibility dwelt at Beaver Beach
under the care of MI. Sheehan until
his master should return, and Sheehan
was kind, but the small dog found the
world lonely and time long without
Joe. He had grown more and more
restless, and at last, this hot morning,
having managed to evade the eye of
all concerned In his keeping, made on
unobtrusively, partly by swimming,
and, reaching the road, cantered into
town, his ears erect with anxiety. Bent
upon reaching the familiar Office, he
passed, the grocery, from the doorway
Of which the pimply checked clerk had
thrown bad potato at him a month
before. The same clerk had just laid
down the Tocsin as Respectfully
went by, and, inspired to great deeds
in behalf Of Justice and his native city.
he rushed to the door, lavishly seized
this time perfectly good potato and
hurled 1t with a result which costa
sized him, for it took the mongrel fair
" aside the head, which it matched in
size
The luckless Responsibility purpose
to reach Joe's stairway had been en-
tirely definite, but upon this violence
he forgot it momentarily. It is not
easy to keep things in mind when one
is violently smitten on mouth, nose,
cheek, eye and ear by missile large
enough to strike them simultaneously
Yelping and half blinded, he DETECTED
to cross Main street. Judge Pike had
elected to cross in the opposite direc-
ton, and the two met in the middle
of the street
The encounter was miraculously fit
ted to the judges need. Here was no
butterfly, but solid body. light with
al wet, muddy and dusty yellow dog
eminently kickable. The man was
heavily built about the legs. and the
vigor of what lie did may have been
additionally inspired by his recogni-
ton Of the mongrel as Joe Louden's.
The impact Of his toe upon the little
runners side was momentous, and the
latter rose into the air. The judge
hoped, as one hops who, unshod in
the night, discovers an unexpected
chair. Let us be reconciled to his pain
and not reproach the gods with 1t, for
two of his unintending adversary's ribs
were cracked.

DR.. HARTMAN, THE FARMER.

He himself supervises the working
details of every department.
He is model Of strength and vitality,
and since Peruna is the only remedy he
ever makes personal use Of, his physical
condition is o testimonial to the efficacy
Of Peruns Of greater value than could
be framed in words.
DIR. Hartman is one of the few doctors
who take their own medicine and his
splendid physique and strength in his
old age are an eloquent argument for
Peruna very difficult to gainsay.
DR.. Hartman, being farmer himself,
knows what the farmer needs and in
speaking Of Peruna to the farmer he
speaks to his own kind of people.

Joined the pursuit. He had children
at home who might be playing IN the
street, and the thought of what might
happen to them If the mad dog should
head that way resolved him to be cool
and steady He was falling behind, SO
he stopped on the corner, trusting that
Responsibility would come round again.
He was right, and the flying brownish
thing streaked along Main street, pass
ing the beloved stairway for the fourth
time The policeman lifted his re-
volver, fired twice, missed once, but
caught him with second shot In
forepaw, clipping of a fifth toe, one
of the small claws that grow above
the foot and are always in trouble.
This did not stop him, but the police
man, afraid to risk another shot be-
cause Of the crowd, waited for him to
come again. and many others, seeing
the hopeless circuit the mongrel fol-
lowed, did likewise, armed with bricks
and clubs. Among them was the pim-
ply clerk, who had been inspired to
commander pitchfork from hard
ware store.
When the fifth round came Respecta-
bility's race was run. He turned into
Main street at broken speed, limping,
parched. voiceless, fecked with blood
and foam, swapping feebly at the
showering rocks, but still indomitably
a little ahead of the hunt. There was
no yelp left in him-he was too thor
oughly winded for that - but in his
brilliant and despairing eyes shone the
agony Of cry louder than the tongue
of dog could utter-"O master, o all
the god l know, where are you In my
mortal needy'
Now indeed he had gantlet to
run, for the street was lined with
those who awaited him, while the pur-
suit grew closer behind. A number of

and he hesitated for second, which
gave the opportunity for a surer aim.

But before the revolver could be dis

run again, hobbling on three legs and
lodging feebly A heavy stone struck
him on the shoulder, and he turned
across the street, making for the Ma
tional House corner, where the joyful
clerk brandished his pitchfork. Going
slowly, he almost touched the pimply
one as he passed, and the clerk, al
readv rehearsfng in his mind the hon

stroke, raised the tines above the little
dogs head for the coup de grace. They
