WICKED PANTHER
AND WISE RACOON
gy CALEB q. WHiTFoRD.

One bright moonlight night a big,
vicious-looking panther was sneaking
through the cane brake that fringed
the heavy timber, growing at every
small creature he saw as he moved
along. He was gaunt and hungry, and
growled at times sayagely when there
was really nothing to growl at.
He cid not like the bright noon
light. He gloried rather in black
nights because they suited his purpose
better. The peaceful deer were enjoy
ing themselves nipping tender blades
of grass and browsing on the young
cane. When they heard the panthers
growl, they ran away through the
woods in fright.
TOO bad" said Father Deer to his
family when they were out Of harms
way, that we cannot all live in peace
in this big woodland and swamp.
There is an abundance of food for all
of us, and playground enough too, but
that vicious panther wants the whole
country for himself, and If we don't
get out Of his reach we will feel his
ugly fangs and sharp claws, SO we
must spend a good part Of our lives
keeping out of the way Of bodily harm.
What a fine world this would be If all
creatures would attend to their own
affairs and not interfere with Others %
The panther continued his search
through the cane for something to eat,
growing and snarling as he crouched
and crawled stealthily along. Present
ly he peered out into the open woods.
1t was bright out there and that made
him growl some more.
IF it was only dark" he said be-
tween growls, Il might crawl about
through the open woods and catch
some unwary creature and make a
meal of him, but in this bright moon
light fear I will have poor success.
There's no use hunting any more to-
night In the cane brake, for every liv.
ing creature seems to be out in the
moon-lit woods. UGH hate this
bright light, but I suppose I'll have to
go out where the creatures are, or go
without my supper. But-hold on

A remarkable story was told by
three men at Llandudno (Carnarvon) !,
Wales. few days ago. The men.
Town Councillor Bolan, man named
Mann, and hotel proprietor named

exhausted, and were about to anchor

COLD IN
The HEAD
10 The First Chapter In The History
Of Chronic Disease.

cold in the head Is the first chap
ter in the history of disease and death.
This has been SO often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples Of 1t.
cold in the head Is rarely severe
enough to confne a vigorous person
to the house. AS a rule, it ends In
recovery without any treatment This
has led many people to regard a cold
In the head as Of no Importance 1t Is
q terrible mistake, however, to pass
by cold in the head as trivial mat
ter. Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that a few doses is sufficient to re-
move every vestige OF the cold. How
much better 1t is to treat a cold in this
way than 1t Is to allow 1t to go on and
on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for a cold in the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the Aead is in reality a
case of acute catasrh. It ought to be-
called SO, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject. In
large per cent. of cases cold In the
head will end in chronic catarrh. I'm
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps so per
cent. of cases of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful OF Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom OF
cold In the head. Usually where the
cold is not very severe tablespoonful
Of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. It may be neces-
sary, however, where the attack is
more serious, to keep strictly In the
house and take a tablespoonful OF
Reruna every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women, should take
teaspoonful every hour.

QUEER PRANK OF A WHEEL

A wheels peculiar prank started
fire at New York, the other day. Slip
ping off the axle of big motor coal
truck, the wheel rolled down the street,
bounced up on the sidewalk, plunged
into the basement of Albert L. Morse's
antique shop, passed through two
doors and finally upset red hot coal
stove in the rear of the shop. The
stove set fire to the place. Firemen
put out the blaze in few minutes,
but it took an hour to get the wheel
back on the axle.

EXPLAINING the Needle.

large number of misprints for which
he was responsible. Even when he
changed his work and became a wait

skill did not forsake him.
One day he had served guest with

FINE HORSES
FEATURE BILLS
IN BIG CIRCUS
ACT OF NINE. 8ENDlNI WITH HER
DANCING STEEDS is AMONG
THE MOST ENJOYABLE OF THE
ENTIRE SHOW.

Many features. said to be new and
excellent, will be presented this year
by the Hagenbeck- Wallace circus,
which will exhibit in Pensacola Satur-
day, October 25. According to the adj
vance information the act of Mime.
Bendini with her dancing horses is one
of the most enjoyable of the entire bill,
because Ii shows the possibilities in
the education of a horse, which appears
to have almost human sense. This
woman has taught her horses many
new steps in their dancing act. Nearly
three hundred performers are on the
bill. and they perform their acts on
the ground, on a stage and high in the
air.
Among the acrobatic and gymnastic
celebrities with the show are the Six
Lukens. Anita Corners, the Tasman-
ians. the Van Diemans, the -Four Oil
fans, DeKoche and others. The lead
ing bareback rider Is VIM. Lloyd. Mr..
LLOYD is rated as the most accom-
plished bareback rider in the circus
profession. He jumps from the ground
to a spec ding horses back, facing the
opposite direction from which the
horse Is running. The Lloyds, the
Riding Corners, the McCrea Davenport
Troupe. Nine Bendini and others are
in the long list of equestrian artists.
The circus will come to this city fresh
from its winter quarters, where all of
the equipment was practically made
over into new.
A new troupe Of performing 1eopards
is one of the new features of the show
this season. These leopards were
bought by Colonel Wallace because he
had induced Nine. Mercedes, the won-
an without fear" to return to her pro
fesston of performing with trained
leopards. Madame Mercedes was re-
tired but during the last winter she
visited her husband. who is one of the
animal trainers with the show, at Peru,
and Mr.. Wallace engaged her to re-
turn to her profession
She was putting her six new leopards
through a, course of training recently,
when one Of the tricky animals bounced
on her and threw her to the ground.
Her arms and shoulders were badly
lacerated before she beat off the ami
NAL but she has kept on with the
work, and now has the animals sub
dued to such an extent that they act
like tame kittens in her hands. She
will show them in the perforna nee
here.
