Peruna is this and that, who never have

anything about its effects upon the

There are people who say, and proba-

Money Orders to Mexico.

Post Master Bohall of Nogales has been advised that after October lst money orders may be drawn at any money order office in the United States for payment in Mexico. The orders will be drawn on domestic forms and the domestic scale ol fees will be charged.
 Money issued in the United States will be drawn in dollars and cents, in the same manner as all other orders drawn on domestic forms, but it will be payable in Mexico in Mexican currency at the rate of two pesos for every dollar and two cen tavos for every cent. Money orders for payment in Mexico must be carefully drawn on a duly author ized money order office in that country. The name of the office must be plainly written and the name of the state in which it is situated given. This Is very impor tant, as there are numerous places of similar names in different parts of Mexico.
 Money orders issued in Mexico will be drawn in Mexican current Y (pesos or centavos) and will e payable at the rate of one dollar for every two pesos and one cent for every two centavos.
 The amount of the orders will be in even numbers, in so far as the centavos are concerned, but should an order be drawn through an error for an odd amount in centavos the postmaster will disregard the odd centavos and pay the equivalent of the even sum. For example, should Mexican order be drawn for 25 centavos, 1t would be pay. able in the United States for F cents only.

Henrys pantry without discriminate
Every one in the city, from Professor
Henry to the bootblack. had one sub
ject in common, and that was rats.
AS Professor Henry, who lived in
the east end of the building. was lis

Professor Spencer Baird walked in
and said. just as if he had been fol-

there is man in Philadelphia who
can rid this place of rats"
Professor Henry's eyes expressed
interest and incredulity at the same
moment.

the assistant secretary. He calls
himself the 'ratten kong and wont
take cent if a rat remains and has
well send for him if it takes our
last thousand cents to do it, said
Professor Henry and laughingly pre-
dicted the repetition of the famous old
tale Of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
Several days later the rat king"
appeared in Washington. He was al
most as short as he was broad and
wore clothes too loose for description;
they had no shape. He carried large
oilcloth sack and a covered basket.
His penetrating blue eyes were almost
covered by shaggy eyebrows. and his
blond hair had not been cut. but bag
gled. His manner was short and
brisk, and he went straight to the

that Professor Henry mail the check
