Y., writes : Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio- Gentlemen. "A few years ago I had to give up social life entirely, as tny health ivas completely broken down. The doctor advised a complete com-plete rest for a year. As this was out of the question for a time, I began be-gan to look for some other means of restoring my health. "7" had often heard of Peruna as an excellent tonic, so I bought a bottle bot-tle to see what it would do for me, and- it certainly took hold of my system and rejuvenated me, and in less than two months I was in perfect per-fect health, and now when I feel worn out or tired a dose or two of Peruna is all that I need." Mrs. J. E. Finn . Catarrb Causes Female Diseases. America is the land of nervous women. The great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffering from some form of female disease. ' By far the greatest great-est number of female troubles are caused directly by catarrb. These women despair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they accept it as almost inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand under-stand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness. - In female complaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Ii. DOUGLAS S3.tSand S3.S2 Shoes KT.SS i ti i on can ie from wa.uo to o.im yearly by wearing XV. L. Ioug las 3.AO or 83 Shoes.

Pierpont Morgan, ' who celebrated his sixty-sixth birthday recently, achieved his greatest business successes suc-cesses since he reached the threescore three-score mark. He first became prominent promi-nent in the financial world about twenty, years ago, when he went to Europe and successfully sold $25,000,-000 $25,000,-000 worth of New York Central stock. This made the old financiers gasp. By this piece of work Mr. Morgan won the lasting friendship of the late William H. Vanderbilt and incidentally cleared $1,000,000 for himself.

II CUPOLA TT SKETCHLV' If -EN YiUJAnS A Wisconsin exchange notes that "chiggers" are coming. This Is indeed in-deed a sure sign of spring. 'If you don't believe It, tackle the chigoes. For the uninitiated, it may be said, that the chigoe is a wood-tick boiled down to a pin-point. In the reducing process, however, none of the biting qualities are eliminated, a mere concentration con-centration of fire and sting being the evident object. A lively chigoe, and we never knew one that did not come under that category, will burrow under the skin with great avidity and anger afSorethought. His intentions are far from being honorable, but he works with all the wild abandon and extreme ecstasy of a mule kicking at a feather duster. Several ointments are said to be death on "chiggers," and the man who has 'em is warranted not to linger longer than Is absolutely necessary in scratching his excited way to the nearest drug store. We have nerver been to California, but we are told that 'fleas are exceedingly promiscuous in their maddening gambols gam-bols in the land of the setting sun. Arm a California flea with a minute saw, a tiny augur, a hip-pocketful of cayenne pepper and a disposition to be ugly, and he would still be forty miles for Sunday behind the "chigger." The Wisconsin editor is justified in noting the arrival of the insect and wise men and women with .open-work underwear will beware ere it is everlastingly too late. ??? "Uncle Tom s Cabin" has been barred from the New York school libraries. One by one the atrocious iconoclast is devasting old landmarks. land-marks. Irvrng's to-day is being pushed push-ed aside by to-morrow, to be in turn usurped by its successor of the day after. It is even so with the sign boards we Tiave been wont to read along the way; but in the laying waste not always is judgment used. " The enemies who marched against "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the schools might better have leveled their ordnance against "Uncle Tom" on the stage. The book is a true picture of the civil war time ; the play is a dwarf -child of deformity. There was a time when "Uncle Tom's Cabin," as shown In histrionic world was a masterful effort. ef-fort. To-day the best actor in the average "Tom show" is the donkey. It seems nothing sort of miraculous thai the modern Simon Legrees are not decapitated on the spot. The late P. T. Barnum remarked, once upon a time, that the American people will "stand for" considerable, but the Simon of to-day is certainly considerable, consider-able, and then some. . There are others! Leave Uncle Tom in the school libraries, but in the Interest of suffering humanity, bar him from the stago." The young woman who bet 1,000 kisses on election and lost to a young man grasping enough to claim the entire en-tire 1,000, is no longer the limit. In an Illinois town an editor ran for mayor. How he secured the nomina tion is not known, but it. is presumed nobody was looking at the time. There Mved in .the place an amorous young woman, who bet that an editor couldn't be elected to so important a civic position. So positive was she in her horoscopic analysis that she wagered a wheel-barrow ride with a young man of the town. The loser was to wheel the winner through the main street in a "mud" cart. The woman's foresight was not as good as her hindsight, and she lost, making good her bet after the horrid winner had insisted. A great crowd gathered to see thie sight. Fancy a woman pushing a man-laden wheelbarrow the leneth of the business street! Those who saw the fiasco say she squared away nobly in the muddy street, spat on her ha ads, rolled up her well, this thing has gone far enough! But it is surmised that hereafter she will be less positive in her powers of prophecy. 5 3 5 "Now thnt Reggie Vanderbilt's mar riage has not been reviewed in the pa pers for several days, we . may look upon the crystallizing public senti ment with calmness. In general pur port It is not unlike an excerpt from Henry Carey's "The Dragon of Want- ley:" "Lauk! wnat a monstrous tail our cat has got!" Admitted that the feline's caudal appendage is both swollen and at tenuated, : what possible excuse is there for diagnosing every hair in it? All hairs look alike to most of us, neither do we worship our cat because his tan is big. Aside from the fact that the rear portion of the anatomy is momentous, he is like any other thomas cat, except there are felines that have run more to head and less to tail than he has!

Every day we see exemplification that man's foresight is much more un developed than Jils hindsight! Many an individual, not a fool, has rushed in where angel's fear to tread " and been sandbagged. Not long ago an organization known as the "Water Wagon Teetotalers" was formed. The society flourished for awhile, but many fell off and took to holding communion with whisky sours and horses-necks a3 of yore. But the society habit is a tenacious one and the "Dried Apple Club" was soon cut, dried and by-lawed. By chance, several of the disgraced mem bers of the "Water Wagon Teetotalers" Teetotal-ers" joined the new organization and partook freely at the initiation ban quet. After leaving the club rooms some one suggested "a moistener. One thing led to another, as it often does, and by and by the dried apples well, what's the use?

President's Guide Not Considered a Daring Plainsman. The telegrams recited the other day that President Roosevelt had put himself him-self under the guidance of "Buffalo Jones" on entering the Yellowstone park. Every time "Buffalo Jones" is mentioned the people on the western border of Kansas are inclined to laugh. As a daring plainsman Jones is a good. deal of an Impostor. He went to western Kansas as late as 1874 with the homesteaders. He had been a nurseryman in Doniphan county. coun-ty. His life was spent in pursuing the desperate apple tree grub, And his exploits against the rabbits ere many. After reaching western Kansas Kan-sas he got some little notoriety by going out and catching a few buffalo calves, attracting attention only because be-cause the buffalo had become nearly extinct. Catching Buffalo calves, by the way, was a sport among the plains children like gathering johnny-jump-ups is among their Eastern fellows. Kansas City Journal. Sl ii i . .. i A Much-Married Man.

Estcourt." she con tinued, rising to her feet, "you see that in your haste you have asked a woman to become your wife who, for all that you know, has nothing in common with you but the lighter feelings and more trivial interests of life, He bent his head and said nothing for a time. She looked at him a little remorsefully, "Is It eood-by, then?" he said, slowly like a man awaking from sleep. She reflected, looking downward in her turn. I will grant you this," she said, "and remember that it is no more and no less than I would do for any man of honor. I will make no ehange for what has happened to-night; I will meet you, if chance so orders it, upon the old terms but you shall promise me one thing in return." She paused for his assent, "I oromise blindfold." he said, "for the first" time in my life." She nodded approval. "Then I have vour word." she said, "that you too will make no change in your career that you will follow your fortune where ever and whenever it calls you without allowing thoughts of me to hold you back." "It is hard," he said, "for I have to night been promised an immediate com mand." "But you have given me your word. She held out her hand to him as she spoke; he stooped and kissed it in si lence. "Come." she said, "I hear the music beginning; this Is my last dance." They passed down the staircase with out another word, and entered the ball room once more. To Estcourt the dance was even more of a drearr! than the first one had been. To the thrilling influence of her beauty and her touch there was added that regretful consciousness of the inevitable end which makes the peaceful melancholy of autumn and gives the last perfection of pathos to the deep eyes of passion. If he had felt himself favored of the gods before, he was now conscious, in his exalted state, of an even greater dignity that given by the heroic endurance endur-ance of . a great misfortune. Among the phantoms that flitted around him, gibbering of their unreal joys, he moved in a kind of funereal triumph, as one with the grandeur of a tragic doom upon up-on him. The whirling dance was the chaos of eternity, and the music filled it with exquisite sadness. But now the measure rose sobbing to a final ecstasy, and lapsed again, and died slowly away upon a single note. He found himself standing by the door, with thS colonel's bland figure in front of him. "If 'you will pardon me," the latter was saying, "it is time for me to take my sister-in-law h6me; unless," he continued, con-tinued, with a courteous gesture, "you are free to enjoy that privilege yourself." your-self." Kstcourt turned to his partner. "I could not think of it," she said; "but perhaps Capt. Estcourt will attend me while you get your hat and cloak." He gave her his arm; the colonel bowed and disappeared. In three minutes min-utes she was ready, muffled to the throat in furs and satin, like the moon among fleecy, silver-lined clouds. Estcourt Est-court took her to her carriage, and they waited a moment for the colonel. "You have never ' even told me your name,'' she said. "It is Richard." he replied; "they call me Dick." ' The colonel, appeared in the doorway. "Thank you," she said; "mine is Ca milla. Good-night!" CHAPTER II. WO DAYS AFTER the ball Estcourt paid an afternoon call at Glamorgan House. There he - found a large and fashionable crowd of visitors upon the same errand as himself, and spent the greater part of a short stay in talking talk-ing to strangers. But when he rose to go. Lord Glamorgan, Glamor-gan, who had been keeping him in view while hobnobbing with a couple of Under-Secretaries, crossed the room quickly quick-ly and caught him as he turned away from taking leave of his hostess. Estcourt saw by the twinkle in his eye that the genial old nobleman was In his own opinion the bearer of good news, but he shuddered inwardly at the sudden recollection of his promise so lately made. "Dick," said his lordship, taking him under the arm and leading him toward a corner of the room, "I've been doing what little I can for you, and I only wish It were more. Compton tells me that the Favorite Is almost ready for ea; nhe's only a thirty-two. but she's the last ship to be commissioned for ever s long, ana " tboufht you'd rath - i - , I BY ffENRY JVJtWB0iJ7? er be walking the deck of a frigate than the pavement of Whitehall." Dick forced himself to return thanks in terms of suitable fervor. "This is too kind of you. Lord Glamorgan," he said, with unintentional irony. "I could really real-ly wish that you had not taken so much trouble for me; I do not know what J have done to deserve It." "Nonsense, my boy," said the old man, kindly; "I owe your father's son more than that, and I'll pay It, too. If ever we get our turn again. But now," he continued, returning to a more mat ter-of-fact tone, "if I were you, as this s your last chance for the present, I'd go down to the admiralty to-morrow not too late, remember, it's Saturday and just make, as it were, a casual inquiry whether they've received your application all In due form, or something some-thing of that kind; jog them up at the right moment, d'ye see? That's it. that's It!" he concluded, shaking Dick's hand. Dick escaped at last and hurried back to his lodging without any clear idea of where he was going. What was it he had promised Madame de Montaut? He remembered but too well the very words: - 'You will follow your fortune wherever and whenever it may call you." - The bargain was but two days old, and here already, with grim mockery, the call had come to the cheery tones of hiss well-meaning old patron's voice. And for what price had he thus sold hia birthright of freewill? For permission to meet one from whom he would soon be separated by a thousand miles of ocean, and perhaps by the wider gulf of many years; for a concession which his own pledge had rendered valueless before he could reap the slightest advantage ad-vantage from it. If ever man entered into a one-sided bargain, surely, this. he bitterly felt, was one. Should he give himself the vain con solation of seeing her? He felt instinc tively that it would be better to deny himself until all had been done. But he could sit still no longer; he rose from table, leaving half his meal untouched, and set himself to think over his visit to the admiralty next day. He decided at once that he would not trust himself to make his inquiry by word of mouth; he might say too much or two little, or betray some noticeable sign of agitation a thought from which he always shrank by nature, and never more than now. No, he would write a letter and present it in person. Next morning he dressed himself carefully in uniform, and started out shortly before noon with the letter in his pocket. He crossed Oxford street and made for the straight line of St Andrew's street and St. Martin's lane. But just before reaching the latter he found himself face to face with a crowd which blocked the entire width of the thoroughfare. It was composed of a wild and motley collection of men, women wo-men and children, accompanied by un couth music, and fantastically adorned with bunches of green ribbon, whose freshness threw into more hideous prominence the universal squalor of their clothing and appearance. At the head of this strange procession proces-sion marched, in a body rather more compact than the rest, a dozen or two of men whose dress and features marked .them even more clearly than their companions for thoroughbred Irishmen. They were apparently, in some sort, under the leadership of a tall ruffian with high cheek bones, a wide mouth, and large side whiskers of a flaming red color, and as they came along, they shouted, and waved their sticks wildly above their heads with no apparent provocation. The few occupants of the street fled Into their houses or up the neighboring by-ways. Estcourt contented himself with drawing to one side, with the intention in-tention of passing along under the wall or of waiting there until the densest part of the crowd should have gone by. But his uniform made it impossible for him' to escape thus without notice, and the temper of the mob being at the moment highly aggressive they deliberately delib-erately blocked his path. At first he was rather amused than apprehensive, and addressed them in a tone of good-humored remonstrance. "Gome, lads," he said, "let me pass; I'm on business, and have no time to spare," and he pushed boldly forward. The crowd swayed about, yelling and hooting derisively, and with a rush of half playful, half ferocious . violence bore him back against the wall, where he stood at bay, uncertain whether to try persuasion or such force as he could bring into play. "God save Oireland!" howled the leader, who stood directly in front of him, and seemed to be in a paroxysm of unexplained excitement; "God save ould Oireland!" , "Certainly,'' said Dick, promptly, hoping that he saw here a chance of conciliating them. "With all my heart," he shouted, "God save Ireland!" "Hurro for the Imperor Napolyun!" shrieked his tormentor, striking the ground with his stick and capering like a maniac. Dick shrugged his shoulders and assumed a passive attitude. ' "Hurroo for the Imperor Napolyun!" the Irishman, screaming in his face. "Say ut, ye murdherln divvle of a king's orficer; say ut, or I'll tear thim goolden shtraps from yer dlrrty shouldhers!" Dick drew himself together, clenched his fists, threw back his head, and raised himself to look for the thinnest part of the crowd. At that moment a carriage and pair was quickly making its way down the other side of the broad road, which had been left bare in part by the concentration of the mob around their victim. He recognized his chance and struck for it with all his force. He was not armed even with a stick, but in a flash his two nearest antagonists had gone down before his fists and he was half way to the carriage, fighting his way desperately through' a storm of confused blows and shouts. Once he fell, and rose again without his hat; a second time he was beaten to his knees, in the act of laying his hand upon the side of the carriage, which had now stopped, and in whlcfi he was dimly conscious that a lady was standing stand-ing upright. She opened the door and stepped quickly out. The crowd fell back a little, lit-tle, and she. began to speak. Dick scrambled to his feet, still holding hold-ing on to the side of the carriage, and stood looking at her in a half-stunned condition of dull astonishment. Her face and form were those of Camilla de Montaut. but her speech and manner, were strange to him and produced upon his confused senses all' the effect of an incongruous dream. "Whisht bhoys!" she said; "tell me now what is't ye're afther here?" There was silence for a moment. "It's St. Pathrick's Day," said a voice at last. "It is so," said the lady, readily, "or why would I be wearing shamrock?" and she took a small bunch of green leaves from her dress and held them up. "But that's no reason at all." she went on, vivaciously, "why ye should be af ther murdherln' me frens, and me the daughther of Anthony Donoghue." The crowd , showed a tendency to shuffle back and get behind one another. an-other. A ragged youth, who found himself him-self left without support in the front rank, took off his cap respectfully. "Shure, 'twas none of us at all, me leddy," he said; "'twas only Tim O'Hal-loran O'Hal-loran that ast would his honor be plazed to say hurroo for the Imperor, and he would not." . "Would he not?" said the lady, with an irresistible- air of drojlery; "thin it's mesilf that'll do ut for 'um. Hurroo for the emperor!" she cried, heartily; "and whin he, comes back to his own may I be there to give him the cead mlllia falta!" She turned to Dick, pointed to the open door of the carriage, and jumped in behind him. The mob were cheering wildly all around; one or two of the nearest of them were taking the opportunity op-portunity to beg a trifle of her ladyship, lady-ship, y "Drive on!" she cried to the coachman. coach-man. And in a moment they were whirling southward down St. Martin's lane in safety. C Dick, without knowing quite why he did so, had placed himself on the. back seat of the carriage, and now sat look ing at his companion. Yes. beyond doubt It was Camilla herself, and when she spoke to him it was this time In her own familiar tones. 'I am afraid I was just too late," she said; "you are hurt." "It is nothing." he said, slowly. He was holding his hat, which some one had thrust into his hand as they drove off; he put It on his head and winced a little involuntarily. Camilla saw that he was hardly yet himself and wondered what to do. ' . - "Where can I take you?" she asked, quickly. "Whitehall," he replied with 'an ef fort. His head dropped back against the cushion, and his eyes closed. (TO bi continued.) A BONAPARTE LOVE LETTER. Endearing ' Terms with Which Laden Wrote to Mme, Recamier. ' An Invincible charm wraps up your very indifference. , You repulse " my prayers, you order me to be silent, you repeat the declarations that drive me to despair, you chill my hopes, you dispel my Illusions as fast as they crowd on me, and although one word would make me happy you will not say it. A gesture, a kind look, another sight of you in the garden walk .where you avoided me would transport my soul. I prefer to hear you chide me to being banished from your presence forever. In telling me that I am a mad man you infuse a grace into the harsh words that make me truly mad. Those pretty trifling airs and graces of which you are unaware are mingled so dellciously with your refusals that I cannot resent what you say. They go to the bottom of my soul. My Juliet, believe me when I say that I never knew what a deml- sentiment was, that I could never lie to a woman, that I am capable of going through fire and water for her, and that I should be broken hearted were it not for the fancy that a momentary gleam of joy passed over your face the last time I approached you. I was too timid to show my feelings. I did not dare ask you for as much as a piece of ribbon, rib-bon, as a symbol of my slavery, for a lock of hair, a flower. Send me a snip of ribbon or a tress. Write nothing. I shall then respectfully throw myself at your feet. The only thing I want is to see the tear of sensibility fall from your eye, or to hear from you that you trust me as a friend. This, Indeed, would be a blessing. Oh, Juliet, a ribbon, a lock of hair, or a tear! L. B. " , A CAT UP A TREE. (lallant Policemen Sent to Its Rescue and the Relief of the Ladies. A singular request was made to Chief of Police Willard yesterday. A woman who lives in the neighbor-hoodhood neighbor-hoodhood of 169 Hamilton street called up police headquarters, and this is the conversation that followed: "Hello! Is this police .headquarters ?" "Yes." ' "Is Chief Willard in?" "Yes; I'm the chief." "Well, chief, have you got a police man who can climb a tree?" "Wh-what? A. policeman who can climb a tree? For what purpose?" asked the chief, greatly surprised at the un usual request. "There's a cat up In a tree opposite 169 Hamilton street, and it has been up there for four days. All the women and g-irls are in hysterics over it, and t wish something could be done about It. I thought that you could send a police man up to climb the tree and bring the poor cat down." . "I am afraid our policemen are not very good at the art of climbing, but I will see what I can do. "Can't you get a fire department lad der?" -"We'll attend to that all right." Captain Davidson sent a couple of his men to the tree where the cat was roost- in e. Thomas was rescued, however, and the hearts of all In the neighborhood neighbor-hood beat regularly again. . t Like Fairy Tale. The dowager empress of China has had a romantic history. She was an extremely beautiful girl, the daughter of poor parents who lived in the suburbs of Canton. When the family was starving starv-ing she, knowing her commercial value, persuaded her parents to sell her as a slave. She was purchased by a re nowned eeneral, who, delighted with her beauty, disposition and general cleverness, adopted and educated her as his daughter. - When, later, the general was summoned to Pekin, he could think of no finer gift to offer his sovereign than his daughter. The emperor found her so charming that he made her his wife. When her husband died, in 1888, this slave-empress became regent, the present emperor being only 7 years old. She found China crippled by debt and torn by internal rebellions, yet five vears aso. when she handed over the erovernlng power to her son peace and prosperity reigned throughout the vast empire. - Money a Little Scarce.
