Pumpkin Pie.

Some low-browed, pessimistical sta
tistician has arrived at the deduction
that pumpkins are growing scarcer
year by year. This means, of course,
that by the time the city folks get a
vacation and hurry into the pastoral
country, the pumpkin pies will be all
gone. Some time ago the great prob
lem was Shall we open the minis to
the free coinage of silver" etc. Later
the question of How to be happy
though married." agitated the COM
monwealth. Now we are up against
the real thing, if we may be allowed
the slang of common parlance,-"ls
the pumpkin pie to become obsolete?"
Perish the thought! How we have
reveled in the luscious pumpkin slice!
1t recalls the haloyon days, the days
of aspiration and faith, before the
rude hand of experience blue-penciled
a few things on the page of life. Up
to the present time, we have been
permitted to recall this joyous period
by occasional communion with pump
kin pie Now we are to be forever
cut off-the pumpkin is growing
smaller and smaller, fewer and fewer
each season, and will soon be mere
curiosity for the sideboard. Time was
when at cattle shows pumpkins were
fed the bovine beauties to keep their
hair sleek, and the man who raised
the biggest pumpkin carried off the
finest prize. Alas, one by one the joys
of youth are being swept away and the
pumpkin rolls into the dim beyond
along with other beloved things, a
mourned luxury of the old-fashioned
days. Somehow these statisticians are
depressing. They shatter many hap
py memory and create hobgoblins as
children build, mud-houses. Vale the
pumpkin pie! But we still have plenty
of material left for mud-pies. Perhaps
we should be thankful for that.

IN LIFE's BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows OF the
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships of indi-
viduals partake of the frail character
of human life, and are brief and I'm
certain. The experience of human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and good deal of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over us in bless
ings, glads the heart almost to mad
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life-a cloud,
a vapor, passes away.-Matthew Hale
Carpenter.

tyvttAT is PE-RU-NA?
Is it q catarrla Remedy, or a
Tonic. or is it Both?

Some people call Peruua a great
toxic. Others refer TO Peruna as
great oatarrhremedy.
Which Of these people are right?
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca
tarrh remedy than to call it tonics
Cur reply is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no ehectual catarrh rem
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the Ca
tarrh, but it must have general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con.
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength.
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
! -CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff
oacy of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and C0PAIBA
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc.
runa which constitutes a specific rem
edy for catarrh that in the present
state of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein
forced by such renowned tonics as
COLLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, COR
YDALIS F0RM0SA and CEDR0N
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body. \
From a theoretical standpoint, there
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Perlna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms a well-grourded the
DRY the result is a truth that cannot be
shaken.

Snake Story,

A story is current of man living
near Kirk, in Banner county, being
bitten twice by rattlesnakes. 1t seems
he had stepped over fence when one
snake struck him in the ankle. He
killed the snake and sat down to open
the wound with his knife, and while
thus occupied another RATHER bit him
on the back of the hand. He trans
ferred the knife TO his left hand and
opened that also and then fastened
to the house, caught and opened a
chicken and placed it on the wounds

The One Chance.

The One Chance.
The man we need today is he
Who sticks through rain and sun,
The one who fights the bitter hght
Until the prize is won.
The secret of success is this:
Be always in the race
When Opportunity, my lad,
Comes shopping round the place!
Don't start thing with whoop anc
whir
And push it like streak,
To dwindle down and quit the game
The next day night week.
It may be just the hour you leave
That Luck will show her face
And Opportunity, my lad.
Comes shopping round the place!
When you begin a task that's big,
Don't chase a butterfly.
Keep doing what you planned to do,
Until the harvest's by.
You won't amount to beans, hill,
If you neglect the race
And Opportunity my boy,
Just passes by your place!
For once she goes, she ne'er returns
At least this is the claim.
Don't be out chasing butterflies,
When she calls out your name.
Remember, she will call no more,
Nor leave a single clew,
If once she finds you not at home
When she has raped for you!

Buying Cheap Clothes Is EttraFa-

There Is as much difference in
clothes. as there is between a high
bred horse and an old plug" Many
people think that a suit IS a suit, and
that so much cloth is chopped out and
sewed together and the lining glued
But it is our experience that when
facts are pointed out. that our Gus
toners and people Of this vicinity are
quick to act on information Of a val
liable nature
Cheap clothes are often all wool, -
but the material IS SHODDX, made
out Of rags and tags OF old clothes
and dead wool, SeWed by machine and
sweat-sbOp labor Of the cities.
In buying this kind Of stun, one new
81 knows how IL has been made and
what danger turks in IL There are
thousands OF cIothes-makers great
and small in America, but only a few
who make high-grade clothes that a
man can buy and know that he is get
ting as fine clothes as is possible for
his mOnev to secure.
Cheap clothes cannot hold their
shape and viii not wear for any
length Of time. They lose their color
easily and for the man who cares any
thing about his appearance, they Ger
tainly are not desirable They are
equally undesirable for the man who
wants to get value and wear out his
purchases.
The materials must be honest and
good Not only the cloth but the lin
ings and trimmings also. There must
be plenty Of room at the seams so that
the sewing viii hold. A chain is no
stronger than its weakest link-sO the
Innings and Intervals" Of clothes
must be as good as the outside, in or
der that they may last
The clothes hemselves-sach gar
ment-must be properly cut and tall
Ored to ut perfecEy-the collar must
set close TO the neck without bullying,
the lapels must lie fat. These are i'm
portant points In clothes-making. The
shoulders must be right and the
sleeves hang correctly without bind
ing. The cloth must be shrunk be-
fore being made up to prevent shrink
ing when worn in damp weather
Haven't you had experience at some
time or other, with a cheap suit,
where the trousers crept up above the

fear Of breaking a SCAMP
