tendent 5. L. Hector, in a report to
the board Of school inspectors. said

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 handsome set
ter dog. which insisted on following
him from camp to camp, as he moved
along the stream.
One day he met 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 a two-dollar bill to his
arguments.
Its queer what strange things hap
pen to a man up here" he said to the
stage-driver who later carried him
away from the woods. THAT is the
first time l was ever accused of steal
ing dog"
yes. sir" replied the driver, SYM
pathetically, and added. after a mo-
ment's pause. For myself, sir. l have

IMPORT ELEPHANTS TO WORK
Pair from Bombay Help In construc-

New York.-The projectors of a

as five-mile board walk, built up on
concrete. but nothing they have prom.
ised equals to the casual visitor the
sight of two elephants, just arrived
from Bombay, at work. With their
heads against timber. they push 1t
into place. Harnessed to cars filed
with dirt and cracked stone, they draw
loads that could not be budged by sew
eral teams of horses. The work of
the elephants is directed by tiny
Hindoo.
Long Beach is a very busy place
just now. The ruins of the old hotel
are being cleared away Bungalows
are being torn down to make room
for modern houses. The board walk

are being made for the proper laying

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

Some people call Peruna a great
tonic Others refer to Peruna as q
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right
ls 1t more proper to call Peruna q ca
tarrh remedy than to call it tonic3
Our reply is, that Peruna is both q
tonic and catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem
edy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of catarrh, remedy must not
only have 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 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 tho vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted SO much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff
cacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and C0PAIBA a
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc
runa which constitutes 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
C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, COR
YDALIS F0RMOSA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From theoretical standpoint, there
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Peruna, 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 well-grounded tie
ory the result is truth that cannot be
shaken.

In Maine the number of moose
shipped through Bangor was 1856, a
slight falling off from the record of
216 In 1905. The deer shipments, how
ever, showed decrease of about 20
per cent. 3,572, as compared with
4,791 during the previous year.
In Vermont the commissioner re-
ported that 634 deer were killed, an
increase of about 125 over the num-
Der shot in 1905.
In New York about so deer were
killed on Long Island during the four
days of open season, and in the Adj
rondacks, Notwithstanding the fact
that the season was shortened a
month, the number of deer carried by
the transportation companies in
creased about 200. These shipments
comprised 2,413 carcasses, los sad

was estimated at 900 to $50.
In Michigan estimates placed the

Reports indicated that 80 deer were
killed under license in Manitoba, and
the total number killed in Ontario ap-
proximated 10000.
An invasion of Wyoming by Indians
during the summer resulted in serious
consequences to the game. Two bands
of Utes, each about 500 in number, en-
tered the state in the latter part of
July and the first week in August and
penetrated some distance northward in
Converse. Weston and Crook counties.
The Indians were well armed and
stripped the country of game wherever
