Men with the courage OF years
And the eager eyed boy
Fresh from the college, who hears
But a clamor of joy
Calling from worlds to be seen--
And revealed by his pen;
Warm hearted cynical, keen,
Irrepressible men.
Scatter divergently forth
On the multiple quest,
Ranging the south and the north
And the east and the west
Chasing the rumOr that Hies
Like a shepherdless soul,
Sitting the truth and the lies
Of equator and pole,
Drinking the palaces mirth
And the reek Of the stews,
Searching the quarters OF earth
For the staple of news.

OF a plying sky
Gathered with pencil and pen
And the cameras eye
Word OF the de tn Of a king,

Tidings of battle, the ring

Themes for the roll book Of time
Or the breath of a day;
Glory and folly and crime

Faithfully jotted and drawn

In tumultuous stress
Thunders the resonant song

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine BUSH
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD IT'S HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
b~itters, laxative and tonics, were to be
found In almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the
family doctor. Such remedies as
picra, which was aloes and quassia,
dissolved in apple brandy. Some
times a hop tonic, made of whiskey,
hops and bitter barks. A score or
more of popular, homemade remedies
were thus compounded, the formulate
for which we're passed along from
house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness Of one of
these homemade remedies, would
take it up, improve 1t in many ways,
manufacture it on a large scale, ad-
vertise it mainly through almanacs
for the home, and thus it would be-
come used over a large area. LAT
TERLY THE HOUSEHOLD
REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania,
before it was offered to the public for
sale. Dr.. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scribed it for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and at last he established a manu-
factory and furnished it to the
general drug trade.
Peruna Is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs,
colds, sore throat, bronchitis and
catarrhal diseases generally.
THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE
LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA
and its value in the treatment of
these ailments. They have learned
to trust and believe in DR.. Hartman's
judgment, and to rely on his remedy,
Peruna.

Advice,

A New Orleans man said regretfully Of
the late Harold Van Buren,, the American
consul at Nice:
Every American traveller will be sad
to hear of the death of this distinguished
man. He was an ideal consul, entertain
ing beautifully the rich visitors TO the
Riviera, and very charitable, very help
full. to such poor folk as found themselves
in difficulties in American consul to Nice:
Tall, slender, quiet, / can see him yet.
One day / asked him If in his man char
tiles he was never deceived.
"'Oh, yes he answered. Not often
though. And when / am deceived, / judge
my man kindly. / am not like the jurist
whom Alphonse karr, who lived here,
lsed to tell about. Karr used to say that
there was a venerable judge who, when
The moment for passing sentence on a
prisoner came, would consult the colleague
On either side of him as to the proper
Senalty.
What ought we to give this rascal,
right.
Three years sir, l should think
Then, bending to the left, What is
vour opinion, brother?
al should say about four years, sir
"Then the judge, ~glancing at the prison
err benevolently, begins:
Prisoner at the bar, left to my own
resources, l should have given you a Sc
7ere sentence; but l have consulted my
colleagues, charitable men, and shall take
heir advice. Prisoner, you are hereby
sentenced to seven years.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t Is astonishing how great q change q
few years of married life otter mako in
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, tho
brilliance vanish like tho bloom from q
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form Of its
fairness.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
he diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachisn Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t IL
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi.
lion. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an infamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.

that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrb
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

FOR A DAINTY NECK.

There are some very neat little but
terfy ties-to be tied by the wearer-
i'm soft silk, embroidered taffeta and
linen. They certainly make a beauti-
full little bow and one which, no mat
ter how "thumby" ones fingers are,
will always be successful. The pref
test collar is certainly a high batiste
tucked collar, a tiny batiste founce
either plated or futed bordering it.
The ties attached to these collars are
less worthy of praise, as their ends
were trimmed with quite unnecessary
little basiste flounces like the collar.

MRS HE LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proachest this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a ~deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this p G o d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous %irritations make life q
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumorS are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and diz=i-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this grea t
change may be expected.
