MFRS. EARNEST HoCHMUTH, 17Oi
1V1 Maple ST., Des Moines, Iowa,
writes: "TW1 years ago our Hshe boy,
Herman, was taken down with scarlet
fever. He took cold with it, and in
stead of the eruptions coming to the
surface they affected his lungs and
stomach. For weeks we watched by
his bedside, hardly expecting him to
live from one hour to the next.
"Finally he became little better and
was able to situp. Then he commenced
to cough, and in spite of everything we
could do he seemed TO get worse all the
time. His coughing spells would last
until he was completely exhausted, and
his lungs hurt him great deal. Every.
body thought he had consumption.
"One day, while at the drug store, my
husband saw PeruGa aimarac and
brought it home. We read in it per-
feet description Of his case and we
thought we would try Pernna. We
bought bottle, quit everything else,
and began giving him Peruna.
"By the time two-thirds Of the bottle
was used the cough had almost gone.
After he had taken two bottles he was
perfectly cured. He has not seen sick
day since and is hearty, healthy boy.
"We shall always praise Peruna, for
it saved our boys life.'

PIRATICAL.

The Emissary came from the far back
yard
Where the desperate gang lay hidden;
The dog and he
And the Sisters Three.
BY the bank of the kitchen-midden.
Deity he lodged the hired girls
guard
And eluded the mothers watch and
ward
And came to the Ground Forbidden.
He battered hard at my bolted gate,
And his words they were wild and
many:
Il make this din
Till YOU let me in
or my name shall be known as Dem
NY"
1 threw the bolt and he marched in
straight
And into my teeth he flung my fate
As he roared: I'VE want Il penny"
Then I hurled defiance at all his
tribe,
But the Messenger knew his duty.
In the name of his band
He outstretched his hand.
And oh, it was grimed and sooty.
And though no reason can l ascribe
For the shame l owe, yet gave the
bribe,
And the Black Hand grabbed its
booty.

DUST OF THE EARTH.

Expecting a visit from the superin-
tendent of an adjacent Sunday school
enc Sunday afternoon, one enterprs-
ing teacher, anticipating the line of
questions which would be asked of her
scholars, selected boy from her class
10 answer each question. AS she had
figured il out. the visitor would first
ask the pupils the question, "Who
made you?" and the first pupil was,
of course, to answer God" The next
question was to be "Of What?" to
which the answer was to be "Of the
dust of the earth" Unfortunately
between the time Sunday school was
called to order and the visiting su-
perintendent had taken the floor, the
first pupil was taken sick and OBJ
liged to go home. The teacher did
not have an opportunity to readjust
her force, and when the first ques-
ton was asked, the second boy
thought 1t good opportunity for him
to get his answer and get it off his
mind; so to the question, "Who made
you?" he answered, "Of the dust of
the earth"
ooh, no." said the visitor, "God
made you"
mo sir; He did not" said the
youngster "The little boy that God
made has gone home sick. and I am
the dust of the earth."-Judge.

AID THE LIBRARY.

An up-to-date, well equipped Ii
brary is a vital need of every pro-
gressive little city 1t is an especially
urgent need in a town that ranks as
ar educational center, as Pendleton
does.
Pendleton is now to have a real
public library. The Commercial as
scciation library is to be moved to a
spacious room in the city hall and
i. will be offered absolutely free of
cost to those who desire 10 use it.
But in order to properly equip and
maintain the library it is necessary
To raise some money. The city will
furnish the quarters for the library.
The room will be given free of charge
and light, heat and janitor service
will also be given free of cost But
the library people will have to pay
for the service Of a librarian, for sub
scriptions to periodicals, and for the
furnishing of the rooms.
The money from the Sturgis fund
is not sufficient to meet al this ex-
pense and the ladies Of the city have
taken up the work Of raising the re-
malnder that is needed. They desire
to raise all the money possible so
that they may fit up the rooms in a
manner creditable to the city. They
are right in this. The furniture will

Waste of Life in Coal Mining.


During the year 1906 nearly 1000
men were killed or injured in the coal
mines of the United States, and indi-
cations point to an increase in that
number since that period, due to
lack of proper and enforceable mine
regulations; to the lack of reliable in
formation concerning explosives used
in mining, and the conditions under
which they can be used with safety;
10 the presence of gas and dust en-
countered in the mines and to the fact
that in the development of coal min
ing not only is the number of coal
miners increasing, but many areas
from which coal is being taken are
either deeper or farther from the en-
trance, where good ventilation is more
difficult and the dangerous accumula.
tlons of explosive gas are more fire.
quent To remedy this state Of af'
fairs. says Review of Reviews, the
United States must adopt the means
that have proved successful in Euro.
pean countries. In 1895 our ratio Of
killed in every 1000 employed in
mines was 2.67. In 1906 it reached
$40. Effective mining Legislation tells
a different tale in Europe in this
country so per cent. of all the fatal ac-
cidents and 80 per cent of all the non
fatal accidents were due to falls of
roofs and coal. In all European coal
producing countries the use of eNces-
sive charges OF explosives is prohibit.
ed by law, and definite limits are set
TO the amount of any explosive that
may be used. In the United States
there is no limit. In this country dur
ing 1906 II per cent. Of deaths in coal
mines were due to gas and dust explo-
sions. Abroad, governmental testing
stations are maintained. where inves-
legations into the use OF explosives
are conducted.
