Got a Trunk Full of Snakes.

At Minneapolis, Mimi, Miss M. E.
Watterson of New York, saleswo-
man for a lingerie factory, waited
several days at the West hotel for a
trunk Of new samples. When the
trunk arrived she ordered it taken
to her room. A few moments later
screams from her room brought the
porter and the entire office force
there. Bursting in the door they saw
Miss Watterson unconscious on the
bed, while from the trunk that she
had just opened the heads of several
snakes were waving. Protected by
a blanket the porter captured the
reptiles, and Miss Watterson was
carried from the room. The trunk
belonged to La Lolita, Queen of
Snake Charmers," and the exchange
of checks was made before the trunk
reached the hotel When the right
trunk arrived Miss Watterson hired
the porter to unpack it.

Sight People Are i'm Bad Fix.
A Vancouver, B. c., dispatch says:
With no work in sight for four or
five weeks and the majority of them
without money Prince Rupert's pop
ulation is in a bad way, and men
are eking out an existence by living
on fish and CLAIMS. In spite of warn
ings issued by the Grand Trunk Pa
cific and the shipping companies a
horde of men descended on the north
ern port and camped on every availa-
BILE site, and at present there are a
thousand men idle in the camp.
Provisions are high, and the I'M
fortunate men without funds have
been reduced to to the status of the
Siyash, and are back to nature, "
grubbing in the beach among the
rocks for food. Some of the north
ern boats are seriously considering
the advisability of cutting out the
call at Prince Rupert on the home
ward trip until a large proportion
of the men have found work.

Never Without Pe=ru=na in My House
So Writes c. Springs. Akanss
There Are a Multitude of People in
the United States
Who Have Been Restored to Health
By the Use of Pe-ru-na.

There are multitude of people in the United
States who have been restored to health by use
of Peruns. There is trying to deny this fact.
AS rule doctors dislike to admit it. There is now
and then courageous doctor who does admit it, how
ever. In such cases Peruna is prescribed by the
doctor himself. Even though the doctor suffers
pecunary loss by such a transaction his patient is
benefited, which ought to be the doctors chief
concern
we do not claim that doctors generally prescribe
Peruna. But we do claim whenever Peruna is in
diligently prescribed it rarely disappoints either
the doctor or patient.
