ACLERGYMAN'S STORY
Came Near Losing His Life--How He Escaped

We quote from another letter. dated December 10, 1906: T praise Peruna to all the sick. The people know my case and they praise it also"
 Tn a letter dated November 22, 1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe- runa gave me back my life ten years ago. All my acQuaintances know that. am certainly thankful to you for your kindness"
 In a later letter. dated January 13, 1910, he says: T shall ever in the future, as in the past, be ready to speak in praise of Peruna to all suf- ferers. I believe my miraculous cure has been the means of many others being cured in this county"
 From a letter of September 5, 1911. we quote a few words: 'I am still among the living. AS to Peruna, do not feel that have words to ex- press the faith I have in its merits feel that Peruna has been the means. through the kind providence of God, of prolonging my life for more than ten years"
 We quote a still later letter. October 31, 1912. He says: "I took severe cold three weeks ago. at once sent for Peruna. Have been taking 1t two weeks. am now better. consider that Peruna has carried me over a dozen years of life. I always stand ready to answer any question in ref erepce to Peruna-"
 We quote from his last letter, dated January 2, 1918: Dear Friends: wish this bright New Years to ex- press my thanks to you for your kindness. Trusting that you may have a successful and happy year, and that your medicine may prove a blessing to many as it has to me, am yours as ever. G. W. Roberts. Hartsell. Alabama, R. F. D. 2. Box 27."
 It Is not necessary for us to add any words to this story. The elo- Quence and pathos of these letters are more convincing than arguments or affidavits. Who can doubt the clergyman's story? Who can doubt that Peruna saved his life?

SHEDDING LUSTER'
By Clay FuIks.

"The people of Arkansas should not forget that Senator Clarke Is she'd ding luster upon the state His ablll- ties are rated so highly by the think CTS of the national congress that they have placed him in position second in importance only to that of the wee president. To retire him now would be the utmost folly. Helena World.
 This editorial from the Helena World of February 3, is quoted in full because chaste or dignified English cannot accurately characterize such vacuous f1ubdub; and it was thought that its own quoting would be the se- verest castigation that could be devls- ed. It doesn't show wicked, malevo- lent, or even stern disposition on the part of Editor Burk; on the contrary, it portrays him as one of the most in- nocent and unsophisticated of men. To answer sentences so utterly lack ing in thought would be like lombard ing a fog. "The people of Arkansas should not forget that Senator Clarke is SHEDDING ULSTER upon the state." SHEDDING LUSTER" How? That is explained in the next sentence. He has actually been elect ed president pfotem of the senate. And this, we are assured, was done by the drinkers" in the national con- gress. This position, we are remind ed. ranks next to the position of the vice president himself! Therefore, ac- cording to the assinine reasoning of the Helena World, Ito retire him now would be the utmost folly"
 Every intelligent American citizen blushes when he thinks of the mental calbre of our vice presidents, as a rule. Every intelligent person knows that the honor which was conferred upon the senator by his election as president pro tenn is a cheap honor, which was given him, probably, to keep him in line with the administra- tion program. But even if it carries the honor which the World evidently thinks it does, could that be presented to intelligent men as a reason why Senator Clarke should be returned to the senate? Such puerile appeals to state pride disclose the quality of the
