" The fluctuations in politics
are as sudden and abrupt
as the changes in the stock mar
ket, and the boss" of last year
may be the plainest of plain citi-
zens the ensuing year. One thing
is morally certain, there will never
be an elimination of bosses" in
politics, because leaders are an
absolute necessity in every move
ment, and prime ministers and
presidents are as surely political
bosses" as are the ward politicians
who hold their wards in the hollow of
their hands.
Some people, good people, too, have
started in to fight "bosses," and have
ended up by cooperating with them
and getting their aid to improve con-
ditions in certain districts. Fighting
a political boss" is an uphill job, for
"the respectables," so-called, are usu-
ally too busy to give any assistance.
and the boys" are all with the boss"
| remember a reformer who tried to
win out on the presidency of ward
club against the boss" He tried
two years and was defeated, but the
third term he seemed to be sure Of
success. Nearly every one of the
members of the club promised him
aid, and Dugan, as | will call him, had
high hopes. The night of the election,
with 189 members present, Dugan's
name was put before the club amid a
storm of applause. His nomination
was seconded by at least five addi-
tional speeches, each glowing eulogy
of Danny Dugan's staunch qualities
and services to the party" Dugan sat
entranced with the praises which were
being handed out to him. The boss :"
candidate, Casey, was nominated in a

Dugan himself was appointed one of
the tellers, and roar of appreciation
shook the hall as the chairman an
nounced his selection. Dugan went up
and down the aisles, and everybody
gave him the glad hand" and folded
their ballots and tossed them into the
hat he carried with There's another
for you, Dan, old boy" or "Hurrah for
Danny Dugan."
He had ballot showed at him with
the Injunction, Make it unanimous,
Danny; hurl in vote for your own
ticket" and he put his ballot in the
other teller's hat and sat down in the
seventh heaven of anticipation. The
counting was finished in a few min
utes and Dugan smiled as he saw the
ballots all going over to one side. Its
a walk-away," he whispered to the
man next TO him" TITS landslide"
said his neighbor. The chairman
stepped to the front of the platform
and announced the vote for president
as follows; For Peter Casey. 1888

Altogether Too Good.

That good thing is sometimes too
good was shown the other day in Little
Rock, Ark, when a clothier, to attract
a crowd to his store, scattered 500 81
bills in his show window and stuck up
a sign offering them for 90 cents each.
Strange to say, however. the market
was dull. Passersby whose attention
was attracted by the display of bank
notes either hurried on after taking a
look at the display or else studied them
carefully, as though wondering how
any one had succeeded in making such
a perfect counterfeit of a dollar bill,
for they were too wise to believe that
they were real. This recalls wager
made by a western man that he could
stand at a busy corner in his home
town, offer a $50 gold piece for s. and
get no takers. Luck was against him,
however for one of the first men to
pass was a bank cashier, who promptly
snapped up the bargain.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should list of the Ingredients of Pc
rnna be submitted to any medical ex-
pert of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh RENE
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged toni, remedies.
That In one or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed of
some of the most efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scri be for them
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.
