A TRAP BY ENEMIES.

It is a frequent boast of the Mormon
church that devotees of new religions
are but mere imltators Of the polyga-
nous prophets, seers and revelators. In
one notable instance the claim is proved.
A woman detected III Salt Lake in a
fake spiritualistic performance, for
which she had obtained money without
delivering the ghostly goods in return,
denounces her exposers as "enemies
who had set n trap for her, because
they were jealous of her occult power.
That reads very much like that taber-
nacle sermon: in which Joseph +, the
polygamous prophet, explained to his
assembled devotecs why he had told lies
at Washington. The wicked men in
command Of the wicked government
down at the National capital were en-
vious of his communion with divinity,
and they set trap for his sacred feet;
and in order TO escape their wicked plot
he had to resort to the wilcs Of the
wicked-to whip the devil with fire.
and so he told falsehoods.
If that fake medium ever gets out of
job, she might offer herself as an
adulator of the bogus prophet whom IN
many respects she has initiated. In
Utah it is the hallmark of religious re-
spectability TO engage in religious
confidence game; aud, when detected,
to denounce cXposeEs as jealous enemies
who have set a trap for the wisdom
and sanctity whose superiority has ex-
cited their envious regard

ELECTS TENANT WITH FIRE.
Landlord Burns Valuable House to
Force Man to Move.

Shoshoni, Wyo.-James Keeshan, Of
Atlantic City, a little mining town
south of Lander, set fire to and burned
to the ground a valuable house be-
longing to him in order to get rid Of
a tenant who had failed to pay his
rent and who refused to vacate the
premises.
The tenant, Michael Brandon, said
to be a dissolute, worthless fellow,
had occupied the house for a, year or
more, but never had paid his rent.
Keeshan tried on a number of occa-
sions to eject him from the house, but
he took advantage of legal TECHNICAL
ties and kept possession of it. Finally
Keeshan, thoroughly out of patience.
warned Brandon that if he did not va
cate the house at once he would set
fire to it and burn it down over his
head.
Brandon paid no heed to the warn
ing. When he awoke in the middle
of the night, however, he discovered
that Keeshan had carried out his
threat The house was on fire and the
flames had gained such Roadway when
Brandon was awakened that he barely
had time to escape with his life. All
his household goods and personal eff
fects were destroyed.

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine Dusi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed 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. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were 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
1t up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD 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 If
was offered to the public for sale. Dr.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of 1t increased, and at last he
established mandatory and fur
nished 1t TO the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in 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
DIR. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

A postlnan named Kelemer and his
wife recently met with a terrible
death, at Buda-pesth, Hungary.
Kelemer had not returned home after
his days round at his usual time.
His wife became anxious. She knew
her husband had to travel over de-
serted roads covered with snow and
that the presence Of wolves in the
district had been reported. She spent
several hours at the window, but as
he did not return she ran into the
village and inquired If any one had
seen him. No one had seen the post
man and the wife set out in search
of him. She also did not return. A
few hours later some neighbors went
to look for her. They came across
some torn garments and few bones.
They were all that remained of the
postman and his wife, who had been
devoured by wolves.

Dutch courans.

The phrase Dutch courage" which,
as the World truly says. was a libel
upon the most redoubtable foes (and
now the truest friends) we ever met

one at which the entertainer got drunk
before his guests. Any number of ex

20 PITTsBuReERs "souARE."
Chamber of Commerce Starts Hunt
Because City Is Called Sodom.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Every prominent and
wealthy man in Pittsburg is going
around with worried look. Fear that
his name will not appear in the list of
"the righteous" selected by the Pitts
burg chamber of commerce for its vir-
tue banquet is the cause.
Some time ago newspaper in lit
tie town in Iowa declared in an edi-
torial that if Pittsburg had been in ex-
istence in the days of Sodom and
Gomorrah, the city would have been
destroyed long before those ancient
cities. The paper went on to quote
from the eighteenth chapter of the
book of Genesis, twenty-sixth verse,
which says:
"And the Lord said, IF 1 find in
Sodom SO righteous within the city,
then will spare all the place for their
sake"
The paper went on to tell how Abra-
ham was unable to find the so right
eous.
The Iowa paper remarked that Pitts
burg could not produce even half a
dozen men who would pass muster.
This statement ''riled" the chamber
of commerce. They had an indigna-
ton meeting at which it was decided
they would show the world, at their
annual banquet, just how long the city
is on righteous men. The banquet
committee was authorized to select
the list. They have been working on
it ever since. They announce they
have found % men who will pass mus.

SAVE GIRLS BY HYpnorIsM.
New York Woman Sets CT Foot Novel
philanthropy.

New York.-A wealthy New York
woman who is devoted to the interests
of young girls has, through the agency
of DR.. John d. Quackenbos, set on foot
novel philanthropy. She gave money
to defray the travelling expenses of
half dozen girl inmates of a New
Jersey reform institution in order that
the experiment of regenerating them
through hypnotic suggestion might be
tried.
The treatment at Dr. Quackenbos'
home was given one afternoon recent.
ly In each case the sleep was pro.
longed for half an hour. The girls,
who were brought from the New Jer.
sey Home for Girls at Trenton, where
incorrigibles under age, or those com.

tors method apparently was of the
simplest.
Il found out what the trouble was,
he said, "and by suggestion endeav.
ored to obliterate it from the girls
memory. Only one fought against
sleep and she was hysterical for few
minutes.
she was unlike the rest-not a girl
of the streets, but one who had been
committed for theft. 1t was when the
realization of her position came to her
that she had hysteria."
To accomplish anything definite DR..
Quackenbos says he must repeat his
suggestions at regular intervals for a
considerable period till the idea be
comes fixed and the will strong enough
to act of itself.

How many women-and men too

to which most of us are almost daily ex-

The symptoms indicating the decline
which NAV have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, of
90 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is a typical one. She says:
"For six months after the birth Of my
baby, 1 suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like a rash of
blood to my forehead, just back Of my
ewes. Some days they twitched so
could hardly see and black spots f1oated

on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and 1 was often sick to my stomach.

had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous. Twas so thin that weighed
only 80 pounds.
'One day when at the drug store TO
get headache powders decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. /
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me q
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
100 pounds. believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and have never
been seriously i'll since"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
If you are i'll and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof of what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases.
