 Then he was taken to a hospital, where he told story of being at tackled by three men, but police Ques- tions becoming too difficult, he at last related his stratagem, and was haled from his sick bed to prison- London Globe.

MRS. w. II. SIMMONS, 111a F. sth WI St, Kansas City. Mo-, member of
 the National Annuity Association, writes:
 My health was excellent until about year ago, when had complete col lapse from overdoing socially, not get ting the proper rest. and too many late suppers. My stomach was in a dread ful condition, and my nerves aH un- strung.
 = was advised by friend to try Pe- runa. and eventually bought a bottle. l took 1t and then another, and kept using it for three months.
 At the end of that time my health was restored, my nerves no longer troubled me, and 1 felt myself once more and able to assume my social position. l certainly feel that PeruHa Is deserving Of praise.
 There are many reasons why society women break down, why their nervous systems fail. why they have systemic or pelvic catarrh. Indeed, they are espe- ciallv liable to these ailments. No won. der they require the protection of Peru. na. It is their shield and safeguard.

Maine Woman Has Pet Deer.

Mrs. Nellie Smith. of Sebec, Me. has a tame deer which is nearly two years old now. but whph she has raised like cosset lamb, feeding it from bottle at first and making a great pet of it. It was given to her by lumberman, who overlook it in the deep snow and caught it in his arms when it was no larger than a cat, except for its legs. It has always been perfectly tame and domesticated, never having known anything of the wild life of its kind, but runs about the premises unrestrained. having it's place in the stable on cold nights. The deer are numerous around Sebec. and it is question whether, as Mrs. Smiths pet grows older, it will not answer to the call of the wild" and join it's comrades in the forest
