NO STAIN ON HIS RECORD.
That's Where the Driver Had the Best
of the Preacher

A New York clergyman, who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams of the Adirondacks, was on
one trip adopted by a handsome set
ter dog, which insisted on following
him from camp to camp, as he moved
along the stream.
One day he met a party of men
working upstream with native guide.
The guide Immediately recognized the
dog as his own property.
Trying to steal my setter, are
you?" he shouted at the clergyman.
I'll have you to Jail for this! There's
a law in the woods just as big as you
have in the city"
The clergyman endeavored to ex-
plain that he was an unwilling COM
panion of the dog, which had refused
to be driven away. but to little effect
until he added n two-dollar bill to his
arguments.
Its queer what strange things hap
pen to man up here" he said to the
stage-driver who later carried him
away from the woods. THAT is the
first time I was ever accused of steal
ing dog"
Yes, SIR" replied the driver, SYM
pathetically. and added. after mo-
ment's pause, For myself. sir, have
never been accused of stealing any
thing."-Youth's Companion.

OLD SOAkERS
Get Saturated with Caffeine.

When a person has used coffee for a
number of years and gradually de-
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left off in order to see
whether or not it has been the
cause of the trouble.

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.

choice of Starch a matter of great i'm

WHAT IS PE-RU-NA?
Is It a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruua a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as q
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right
d it moro proper to call Peruna Ca
tarrh remedy than to call it tonica
Our reply Is, that Peruna 10 both q
tonic and q catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be NO effectual catarrh rem.
edy that il not also q tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of catarrh, remedy must not
only have q specific action on tho mu.
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but it must have general tonic
action on the nervous system.

otherwise strong, is weakened con-
