Men Could Endure More Alcohol

Perkio dined at the royal table, and
he was man OF good education, and
no doubt his companions drank quite
as much as he. although they had less

toned for the ornamentatiOn OF the

win approval from my audiences, for

The art of making people laugh
consists, to my mind, in painting a
pretty picture with words and ges-
lures and then with one stroke to
draw line and make it into some
thing funny. The contrast is so great
in going from the sublime to the ridic-
ulous that people are bound to see the
humor of it.

Nearly everybody is obliged more or
less to take a laxative. There are Of
course a few exceptions. a great many
people also need occasionally to take a

that do not make use of tonics and

The remedy Peruna is n laxative

laxative, but also as a tonic.
The benefit derived from such a

HOUSE BILL 10 CREATES LIVELY

Pierre-In the house Saturday
house bill No. 10 called out a tilt be-
tween members of the judiciary COM
mittee. The bill gives the court pow
er to enter judgment in certain cases
regardless of the verdict of the jury.
Urdahl claimed it was an attempt to
transgress the right of trial by jury,
and Mcfarland, the i]ntToduCer of the
bill, voiced his Indignation at such
a charge. The whole matter resulted
in a wrangle which placed the bill
Upon the calendar.
The next stir was over a little bill
by IiaWley. in regard TO cement CON
tracts, which the judiciary committee
had reported adversely, on the plea
that the committee was unanimous in
its belief that it's bill was u~nconstitu-
tjonal. IIaWley declared that the bill
was drawn By George Egan, who guar
antoed thai it would stand any legal
test. and he considered that authority
TO be better than any opinion of the
judiciary committee. and the bill was
allowed t 20 upon the calendar.

Concerninq the liviau Lincoln.

house. Il talked with him on several
occasions, in Washington and at the
front, and while | knew him well /
do no fatter myself that he knew me
well, for there was only one Of him
and there were forty millions OF me.
What struck me above all else was his
simplicity and everyday common
sense.
He met all men as equals, not in
a patronizing way, but in a way that
said as plain as words, We are all
of II blood, and brothers. He was
a great man and he was the only u
ia all the land that did not know it.
"He always remembered his early
struggles and poverty, and with a sym
pathy born of them was ever ready to
give a helping hand to those compelled
to travel the road that he had been
compelled to travel in his youth and
early manhood.

He loved and had faith in his fellow

tered his mind, no matter how high
the ascent.

taken soon after the convention at
which Mr.. Lincoln was nominated,
and that the original photograph was
taken at the request of Mr.. Medill Of
Chicago. for campaign purposes. He
said further that when Mr.. Lincoln
went in to the photographers to sit
for the picture he had just come from
the BARRIERS, and his hair was plaster
ed smoothly down upon his forehead,
but that happening to catch sight Of
himself in a glass. Mr.. Lincoln re
marked that no one would know him
with his hair so smooth as that, and
ran his hands through it, giving it the
disheveled appearance OF the por-
trait.
He said further that in making the
enlargement for the Autograph the
portrait WAS somewhat idealized, and
much of the natural ruggedness of
Mr.. L~incoln's features were smooth
ed out.
Whether this man was correct in
his belief as to the origin of the por-
trait, it is undoubtedly true that it is
considerably idealized, as will be seen
from the copy, the portrait, while re-
tanning the essential features which
are SO we'll known, nevertheless max
ing him a far handsomer man than
he is currently reported TO have been.
And yet Mrs. Read, who has seen
him often as a young man, always
said thai it was an excellent like
ness, and that it looked Just as Mr..
Lincoln did at the time he made his
speech at Quincy, in the ours of the
famous debates with Stephen A. Doug
las on October IS, 1858.

of a good tonic laxative the great major

in the house. Its virtue as a preventive
to disease is the thing l wish chiefly to
emphasize.

biliousness, transcription of poisonous ma
terial and finally sickness. Or apathy of
the stomach in which the food is not rel
ished, may gradually lead to atomic dyspep-
STA or to the acquisition Of some acute dis
ease. For either one of these conditions
a few doses of the tonic laxative Peruna
would set matters right. This is why tho
remedy should always be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as q
household remedy is understood no homo
would be without it.. Cathartics, pills and
powders would be discarded. Irritating
tonics would be no longer taken. Alco-
holic drinks would nave no place. With a
few doses Of Peruna a vigorous appetite is
produced and if there be any sluggishness
of the bowels their function is gradually
restored.
Most laxatives are weakening in their
effect. A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
has become so thoroughly established that
all medicines are superauous, Peruna will
be needed. 1t is exactly the remedy that

tower stars and stripes in red and

The Lincoln Tower was iuaugur-
'ated July 4, 1876. The newspapers Of
the time were crowded with accounts
Of the great centennial celebration. SO
that it is not strange that the cere-
mony OF opening the tower was over-
looked.
The idea CT the memorial originated
with the Hon. William e. Dodge Of
New York, who at the time was visit
ing the Rev. Newman Hall, widely
known as the d~issentor's bishop,"
one Of the most popular English
preachers Of the day. Except for the
first thousand dollars, the whole cost
of the tower, which amounted TO
thirty-fiye thousand dollars, was con
~tributed, half in English siXponces and
half in American dimes, entirely
through the efforts of Mr.. Hall, who
counted the work all JOY for the love
that he bore to Lincoln.
Southwark is a district OF modest
homes,-its inhabitants are people Of
small means, if not actually poor
just the kind OF plain people whom
Lincoln especially loved and trusted.

that his memorial should stand among
such surroundings, rather than in a
