ciously. "Why, yes, thank you" she
said Il got it. Was it you who
found 1t? 1t was awfully good of
you"
Not at ALL" declared Wagstaff.
Just then the train came in and
he helped her aboard They sat down
together and their acquaintance pros
pered.
In ten minutes he found that she
knew half dozen of his own friends.
While things were a little bit uncon-
ventional, she concluded finally that
he might call
Wagstaff called and found two of
the friends there to vouch for him.
Then he took pains to call again,
when he was certain the friends
wouldn't be there. Since the girl
chose the time for the call it is pos
sible that she didn't want them there
either.
Two or three months later as she
and Wagstaff were standing in her
front hall one night counting the
hooks on the hatrack and otherwise
enjoying themselves, the girl said:
BILLY, I've heard of lot of ways that
young men get acquainted with girls

POSTOFFICE PIE
IS WILSON'S JOB
SAYS SENATOR
WILL NOT GIVE OUT PLUNS
viii Refer Such Matters to
COlgrCSSmGR

Atlanta, Nov 15.-in an interview
given here while on his way to Ma
con to attend the Wilson celebration
United States Senator Hoke Smith in
dictated that he would not attempt in
any sense to control the Georgia post
office patronage under President Will
son, but would leave it practically to
the congressman.
Il enjoy the study of legislative
problems and enjoy the discussion of
political issues on the stump" said he,
but the patronage of an Office is the
hardest part of public life
The Senator said certain publica-
tons in an Atlanta afternoon paper
were calculated to give the impress
sion that every applicant for govern
ment job would have to come to him,
when such was not his intentions.
He said he supported Woodrow Will
son in the primary because he consid-
cred Mr. Wilson the strongest man the
Democrats could nominate, and thai

THE LOST UMBRELLA
BY CLARA COPYRIGHT.

She was young, tall, dignified and
well dressed, and as she entered the
elevated train and demurely slipped
into the only vacant seat Wagstaff,
covertly watching her over the edge
of his newspaper, decided that she
was rare girl, indeed.
He kept taking one more look at
the girl; her attention being centered
upon a book By the time the train
reached his station he was deeply in
terested in her. He vaguely remem-
bered having seen her on his. morning
train at intervals, but never before
had she sat within the direct range of
his vision
The next morning he took special
pains to catch that same train. Milf
fin was sitting near the door of the
car and dragged him into a seat be-
side him, However, Wagstaff lost all
interest in MifTins baseball chatter as
the train neared the station where the
girl had entered on the previous
aanorning. He craned his neck to scan
Fthe waiting passengers on the plat
form. Miffin looked at him curiously.
Expecting somebody to get on
here?" Miffin asked
"Oh, no." Wagstaff said hastily. 81
thought I saw some one l knew"
Then, to his unmeasured delight,
the girl came demurely in with the
crowd and found a seat almost oppo-
site them. Miffin followed Wagstaff's
enraptured glance.

knew" he asked.
We'll, no." Wagstaff said guiltily,
'but l wouldn't mind"
After that it got to be a regular

Constipation and Catarrh

lieve me? Well. whether you would be-
lieve me or not it is the truth
/ For many years l have been wrest-
ling with the problem of furnishing
the public an internal catarrh remedy.
Peruna has been the remedy that
have devised and it has certainly re-
lieved many thousand people, yes hun
dreds of thousands of people, of chronic
catarrh.
Constipation was my chief difficulty
in treating these cases. often felt
that it would be better if a laxative
element were added to Peruna. l feared
to do so, however, first because of
the number of catarrhal patients who
needed no laxative, and second was
afraid of making such radical change
in a remedy that was already doing
SO well. Thus it was that 1 continued
to prescribe with the Peruna a bottle
of Manalin to those who needed a lax
alive. At last under circumstances
explained In my booklet, I was con-
strained to add the laxative element to
Peruna. This constitutes what is now
known as the revised Peruna.
| Now those who take Peruna will,
first, find themselves promptly relieved
of their constipation. Second, the
catarrh will gradually disappear And
once the catarrh is cured the consti-
patton leaves permanently. Then If
you follow the advice given in my
book, you will never have to take pills
any more. Cathartics and laxatives
you can ignore. You will be perma-
nently relieved Of both your catarrh
and the constipation. P e r u N A is
