These natives have q unique way
OF getting quail. For them there is
no closed season, or, indeed, any
game law whatever. Seasons when
the quail come down from the noun
taans to the spring the Indians
make great preparation for their
capture.

closely together. Within the house
an Indian sits concealed, holding a
long Timber rod, which he operates
dexterously through the narrow
opening. In the early morning when
the birds flock down for water he

There is no report in this manner

enough game in a single morning
for the whole settlement.-Los An

Senator And Pace.

Senator Tillman sees more with
one eye than many men see with
two, but nevertheless those who see
the fiery Southerner cannot avoid
noticing his misfortune. The other
day he clapped his hands for a page.
from the cloakroom door. A new
page, who had not mastered the
senatorial names, responded.
Tell Senator Clay" he said, that
want to see him in the cloakroom. ="
The page ran on the errand, on
his way stopping to ask the head
usher where Senator Clay sat. Then
he asked: Who's that that has
only one eye?"
The usher, thinking it a question
in mythology, replied: ''Why Cy-
clops, OF course"
The page delivered his errand in
this astounding way:
Senator Cyclops wants to see you
in the cloakroom" - Lippincott's

Afraid OF A Comet.

The ignorant negroes, throughout
indian Territory are greatly excited
by the reported approach of a de-
structive comet. In many places
obey have quit work and are as
'embling nightly in church and hold
ing religious services.
1t is reported at Fort Gibson and
at many other points along the
Arkansas River where there are
arge negro settlements that the
comet is the only thing talked about,
and the negroes believe that the
world is coming to an end. This
condition has reached such proper
tions that the Times-Democrat, a
local newspaper, telegraphed Prof.
P. ]. j. See, of Mare Island, asking
his opinion about the comet. His
reply was:
THE comet is a ghost of the air.
1t is going from the earth instead
of toward it. There is no danger of
contect."
A great many Indians have also
become alarmed over the agitation.
AT Westville it is reported that
meetings are being held nightly and
prayers offered. These reports come
from the smaller towns and rural
munities.-Kansas City Star.

WsSkly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
OF trade says:
Spring trade develops slowly be-
cause OF unreasonable weather, but
the lost ground will be recovered in
large measure when normal tempera-
ture prevails. Cold weather has
prevailed over an unusually large
area, retarding agricultural progress,
as well as trade in lightweight wear
Ing apparel and other spring goods,
but Similar bad starts in other years
have sometimes brought most favor
able results. The only actual dam
age OF any account is reported in
some winter wheat fields OF the
Southwest, where insects and drouth
combined to injure grain, and in
most of this area some other crop
has been planted. Wholesale bust
ness for later seasons is on a liberal
scale, building operations are active
and leading manufacturing plants
are busy. Few labor struggles re-
tard work in the industries, and an
unusually small number of strikes
are scheduled for May. Little COM
plant is heard regarding freight
blockades, and. with the resumption
of lake navigation on the Northern
border, traffic conditions will soon
be entirely satisfactory.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-

years doctors pronounced it local disease

stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness Is the natural outgrowth OF the
oldstime household remedies.
In the early history OF this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit
tiers, laxatives ard tonicS, were to be
found I'm almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apOthecary or the fam
lily doctor. Such remedies rs picra,
which was aIOes and quassia, dis
solved i'm apple brandy. Sometimes a
hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and
bitter barSs. A score or more of pop
uIar, homemade remedies were thus
compounded, the formulate for which
were passed along from house to
house, sometimes written, sometimes
verbally communicated.
The p9tent medicine business is q
natural outgrowth from this whole
sonny old-time custom. In the begin
1dg some enterprising doctor, inn
Spreseed by the usefulness of one of
these home made remedies, would
take 1t up, improve it in many ways,
'-aanufactpre il on a large scale, ad-
vertise il mainly through nImanacs
for the home, and thus it would be-
come used over a large area. LAT
TERLY THE DRENIEDY
BUSINESS TOOK A MORE ENACT
AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.
Peruna was originally one OF these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, be-
fore IL was offered to the public for
sale. DIR. HartEssEs, THE ORIGINAL
.GOMPQlrNDER OF PERUNA, is of
MTcnSenfte origin. First, he pre-
scribed it for his neighbors and his
patients. Tho sale of IL increased,
and at last he established a manufac-
tory and furnished it to the general
drug trade.
Peruna is useful in n great many
Climatic ailments, such as coughs,
colds, sore throat, bronchitis and ca
tarrhal diseases generally. THOU.
SANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE
LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA

ailments. They have learned to trust
and believe in DIR. Hartman's judy
ment, and to rely on his remedy, Pc
