again fighting fire at the dumping
grounds on Third avenue, south Of the
NJ. & st. L. railroad tracks. This is
the third time within a week that the
manure piles have been fred, and
while there is little danger to nearby

a great smoke which makes work in

ALWAYS NEAR CAPITAL
Lincoln Never Had Complete Rest
During Civil War.
UnpretentIous House, a Cottage In

Of Reverent Interest.

While our recent national chief ex-
ecutives have fed from Washington

cool summer capitals. as, for instance.
Buzzards Bay, Oyster Bay and Bev-
erly. Lincoln in his day was forced
ever to remain on guard in the ma
tons capital the year through.
During his four troublous years in
Washington he took no vacation and
his summer residence was within
easy ride OF the seat Of government.
The Anderson cottage, in the sol
diers' home grounds, was his summer
home, and 1t was here, guarded by
company of cavalry, that he lived
while handling the reins of govern
ment through the Civil war. He rode
to the White House every day and re-
turned at night, the hour more often
than not being late.
His simplicity of taste was such
that he would gladly have ridden
without escort, but the secretary OF
war the trenchant Stanton, insisted
on the cavalry escort. for the presi
dents safety.
Lincoln said he did not want it;
he couldn't hear himself think" with
the soldiers clattering along beside
before and behind him. But with his
usual complaisance in what he deem
ed non-essentials. he yielded. Some
times he rode horseback, accompa
MED by the escort. At times he was
called on to make a sudden journey
from his cottage to the White House
One such call was on the receipt oi

Nearly everybody is obliged more or

that do not make use of tonics and
laxatives.

cuse me for swearing before you. by
jings Is swearing. for my good old
mother taught me that anything that

The only time. however. that Lincoln
was ever heard really to swear was
on the occasion OF his receiving tele-

ordered week before to go on to the
relief of Rosecrans at Chattanooga,
who was in great danger OF an attack
from Bragg. On that day Burnside

During some OF Lincolns daily Wis

many spare moments while he waited
for fresh news from the front or for
the translation OF cipher messages,
and when he did not fill up the other
wise idle time by telling stories he
would read aloud some humorous ar
ticle from n newspaper, as. for in

ports from Mackerelville, or Petrole-

REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Mississippi River Steamers Originated
coonomen That Has Now Be-
como Universal.

On the Mississippi river In oldeh
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea Of naming his steam
boats cabins instead of numbering
them. So he named them In honor of
the states Of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title of some
state, the big central cabin being call
ed the Texas" after the largest state.
Other boat owners took up the idea,
and thus the word cabin was grad
ually alternated by state" room. For
years the best cabin was still known
as the Texas. Then that sobriquet died
with the ebbing glory of the old river
steamers. But the word "stateroom"
became Incorporated into our Ian
guage, and In time even broke into the
dictionary, as does many another
catch phrase. Net one person in thou
sand who occupies a stateroom knows
the term once meant "a room named
for a state"

A TONIC LAXATIVE
Pe-ru-na, an Up-to-Date Family Medicine That
Should Be In Every Home

sease has really gained foothold in the
system, person was to take dose or two
of good tonic laxative the great major
ity of cases of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna is remedy that should be kept
in the house. Its virtue as a preventive
to disease is the thing l wish chiefly to
emphasize.
A slight condition of constipation may
lead to serious sluggishness of the bowels.
biliousness, re-absorption 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-
sia or to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one. of these conditions
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 .
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 have no place. With .
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 superfuous, Peruna will
be needed. It is exactly the remedy that
meets numerous necessities of the house
