The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as "catching cold." It may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to cause a chill and considerable fever, or it may be so slight as to net hinder a per so a from his usual business. In perhaps a majority of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence it is that nearly one-half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form. To neglect a cold is to invite chronic catarrh. As soon as any one discovers REMEMBER! Throe Crown Baking Powder Is perfect In action; sold at a popular pricn; 2oo a pound. HEWLETT BROS.

Unless this is dona the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage of catarrh, which is making so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be practically an unknown disease. ' Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 57 Bassett street, Albany, N. Y., writes: - . " I have always dreaded unsettled weather because of my extreme liability to catch cold, when a catarrhal trouble would quickly develop through my entire system, which it would take weeks to drive away. I am thankful to say that since I have taken PKRUNA I do not have any reason to dread this any more.

So far as most of us knew rZS he held some mysteri ous commission' as a military expert. We soon discovered that Capt. Bulfer, which was the name he went by, was a good soldier and was well acquainted with all there is to know about tactics and the rules of strategy. Wherever there waa fiffhtine the caDtain was in the middle of the ring, and it sooii wajth demonstrated that he had forgotten at least what it waa to be afraid. Abou. a year after hostilities began Capt. Bulfer came out into the open . , i as an anegeu corresponueuu ui L VJ Associated Press. And he certainryT had the best of opportunities to get a first hand account of what was going go-ing on. He always was there or thereabouts there-abouts when anything was doing. When I came back from the islands, two- years ago, Capt. Bulfer had disappeared. dis-appeared. Nobody knew where he had, gone or what had become of him. The other day on a train going to New York I met an old comrade in the Philippines, and he told me about" Capt. Bulfer. ' "I heard the story of Capt. Bulfer before he left the English service," he said. "He originally was an officer in 'her majesty's Footguards,' which means a good deal in a social way. He transferred to the Eleventh Bengals and saw service in India. Meanwhile he had married an English girl much younger than himself and had gone out to India. ' "Only a year after he went to Simla he discovered I don't know how that his wife was in love with a young officer in' his own regiment. And this Is the part of the story I don't suppose anybody will believe I'm free to admit ad-mit I didn't think such an unselfish man existed myself. One night Capt. Bulfer and some of the officers of his mess were playing cards. Of a sudden sud-den one of them jumped up. " 'Somebody around this table . is cheating,' he cried out. 'All of you hold your hands till I find out who it it.' "Capt. Bulfer looked across the table at the young officer with whom his wife was infatuated. He saw in his face certain evidence that he was the guilty man. Presumably he thought that if the investigation went on his guilt would be made clear and he would be dismissed from the army in disgrace. That, of course, would break the heart of the wife of Capt. Bulfer. And Capt. Bulfer did not hesi- "It Was I Who Cheated." tate. He rose to his feet and swept all the cards into a pile before him. ' " 'It was I who cheated,' he said. "So Bulfer was dismissed in disgrace dis-grace from the English army and cams out to join us in the islands. You know how strangely he disappeared; Well, I never heard from or of him till three months ago. " "We had been sent up into the interior in-terior of Luzon to settle a serious quarrel between a couple of tribes of natives. I, as captain, was In command of the expedition, 'consisting of two companies of cavalry ; and a detachment detach-ment of Igorrote scouts. We got to the village where the trouble seemed to center and had a conference. The head natives declined to do anything until they had sent for 'the potato king of Banguet' "They sent a native runner up into the mountains, and two days later he came in state, with a large retinue. As the procession passed us on its way through the village we made out that the tall man at the head of the delegation from the mountains was a white man. and I reccgnized him at a glance as Capt. Eulfer. "After a p'atisfactory decision had been reached and the conference had adjourned I took advantage of a chance to talk to Bulfer. He told me a story something like this: "'I waj never anythingsbut a non-combatant, non-combatant, you know. Finally I got a letter of dismissal from the Associated Asso-ciated Press. I was thrown on my own resources, without any chance to form another profitable, engagement. And I had no idea of going back to . Where the Fighting Was Thickest. wnere I was known 'a"id appealing for help"..- ' " ' " 'When my money was gone I simply sim-ply left the column and took up my residence with a tribe which was not and never had been engaged in hostilities hos-tilities against the United States. I made up my mind then and there that I would spend the rest of my life with them. As a certain method of burning my bridges behind me I married the daughter of the chief of the tribe. , " 'My service with the army of the United States had taught me Uat the soldiers were alvrays hungry lor potatoes po-tatoes the good, old-fashioned Irish variety. I knew by exDerienco how &mm$ ' of Banguet hard it was to find them away from Manila, and one of the first things I did after taking up my residence with the natives was to send a runner across country to a friend of mine In the army after a bushel of them. " 'The potatoes came and we split hem up and planted them in the sandy soil of the mountain slopes. The ground was made for potatoes and the crop was enormous. About the time I was showing my people how to dig potatoes along came a column of sol diers and I sent some of my men down the mountain to sell the crop to em. The men were crazy for them, and every potato was sold at what to the natives was a huge price. " 'Even before that I was a prominent promi-nent man in their counsels, but now I was made a king. Ever since I have been known as the "Potato King of Recognized Him at Once. Banguet,' and I don't suppose I shall ever win a prouder title. I have made up my mind to spend the rest of my life here with these people. None of my old friends knows where I am and none of them shall ever know." H. M. H., in Chicago Tribune. PFfANKS OF ROMAN STUDENTS. Youths Make for Themselves All Kinds of Diversions. They still tell the story at Villa Medici, Me-dici, Rome, of a "nouveau" student, who, when presented to M. Schnetz, himself boldly tapped him on the chest and to the joy of the "ancient" stw dents exclaimed, "I know that joke, oil chap. No use trying it on me!" The joke is the richer since it marks the passing of one of the best jokes at this famous institution. For years it had been the custom for the older students to have one of their number in a dress coat presented with all due solemnity-to the new students. Still another joke is lor the older students to capture a ccuple of newcomers new-comers and, after conducting them to their rooms, thrust them in and lock the door, leaving them face to face with a donkey tied between the beds. Each year the salon of the villa is transformed into a gala place, and the spectator finds himself in the midst of a country fair, an old time Roman carnival or the holdup of a family of English tourists, in which a young woman, who, by the way, wear3 a luxuriant mustache, is oorne off in triumph tri-umph by a band of the blackest bandits ban-dits ever painted. The Dog Knew. " A retriever not long ago was sent into a ditch to brir; out a winged partridge. The dog picked up the scent, rushed along the bottom of the ditch under the brambles, and after a little groping about emerged on the bank with an old rusty kettle, holding it by the handle. Laughter greeted this performance. "Stop a bit," said the dog's master. "Here, Rover, give it to me." And the dog brought the kettle to him. Taking it from his mouth, his master put his hand into the kettle, the lid being off, and took out the partridge. Chased by the dog, it had crept into the kettle to hide and the dog not being able to draw it out, just brought the lot. Wealthiest Girl in the World... There can be but little doubt that the Grand Uuchess Olga of Russia, who has just attained her seventh birthday, is the wealthiest little girl in the world. Immediately after her birth something like a million pounds was settled upon her, the huge sum being safely invested in England and France. If she lives to reach her majority ma-jority her marriage settlement is likely like-ly to be the largest on record. No one knows the extent of tae white czar's wealth; it is doubtful if he himself does. He is far and away the largest landowner in the world, and he haa gold and ether mines in Siberia which bring in a revenue, the amount of which is never made public. Mistaken N-stion About Leaves. It is true that people often say that the turning up of leaves is a sign of rain, but tie sign does not seem to be a very true one, declares the Monthly Weather Review. There are many kinds of trees like the silver-lea poplars, pop-lars, in fact all the poplars, the maple and some of the oaks, which turn their leaves up whenever there Is a fairly strong steady wind, but they do it as much in clear weather" as in rainy. Possibly the belief may have arisen from the fact that winds capable cap-able of turning leaves over very often precede or fol low rainstorms. ; , Novel Ufit for Telegraph Lines.

In Japan horses are backed into their stalls, then a. door is closed at the head, which has a grain and hay-rack conveniently constructed, to which the nag is secured. When needed the door is swung back and the horse led forth. No one gets kicked, no refuse raster is visible to the visitor, and it seems to be a sensible way to construct con-struct a place for any horse. Churches on "Manhattan. Island.

There Is a Knack in Getting One's Business Before the Public "I've-come to the conclusion that , success in advertising depends on how it is done," said a member of the vestry ves-try of a prominent Episcopal church. "Several weeks ago on a rainy Sunday Sun-day morning my umbrella disappeared from the stand in church. I advertised adver-tised for its return, offering a generous gener-ous reward, but no one returned it. Later on talking to a friend who is In the advertising business I mentioned the matter to' him. " How was your "ad" worded?' he asked. 'Something like: "Person who found stray umbrella um-brella in vestibule of St. church, please return same to . Reward, etc." ' I answered. ' "He smiled and scribbled on a piece-ot piece-ot paper: 'Try this as an "ad," he said. I took the paper and read: 'Person 'Per-son who was seen taking umbrella from vestibule of St. church must return it at once to save himself trouble, trou-ble, as he is known.' Acting on my friend's advice, I inserted the notice in the papers. Did it work? I should say so! Next day I found not one, but half a dozen umbrellas awaiting me at home. They had been sent to the house during the day and attached to each was an unsigned note praying that I would overlook the matter, as the writer had taken the umbrella by mistake." Philadelphia Record. ROUNDED HORN WITH HOBOS. Only One Man in Twenty Ever Had Been Before the Mast. The ship Erskine M. Phelps arrived tiC" Honolulu recently from Norfolk, Va... having broken all previous records rec-ords for a sailing vessel from a north Atlantic port. She made the trip In ninety-seven days. She "rounded the Horn" from 50 south in the Atlantic to 50 south in the Pacific in eleven days, whereas the usual time is twice that. What added to the interest of the voyage was that when the Phelps was well to sea the captain discovered that nearly every man of his crew had shipped under false pretenses. Only one man in the twenty before the mast was a sailor. The rest were just plain "hobos" who had palmed themselves them-selves off as sailors. The result was that the captain and the mates had to take turns at the wheel and do most of the work aloft. In a terrible squall off Cape Horn, says the New York Mail and Express, when the safety of the ship hung in the balance and all hands were called to save ship, only six men came on deck, the others were lying below half dead with terror and seasickness. Nevertheless the Phelps broke the record. How to Help a Boy. If you want to do a boy a favor, start a savings bank book for him and urge him to get as many entries made in it as possible. Globe. One of our wealthy men laid the foundation of his fortune by beginning to save as soon as he commenced to earn. He entered Lynn with 25 cents in his pocket, and was obliged to ask the boss to indorse him to a boarding house. What he had left after paying his board he put into the bank, and from that day forward he made a practice prac-tice of making a deposit every Saturday. Satur-day. He was skilful at the trade and made good pay, and sticking to his determination of saving something out of each week'3 wages he was not long in getting to the point where he could" use his business ability, which he has done to good purpose. The point, however, is in the bank book of the boy and the many entries h? made in it. Not every boy is so thoughtful for the future as was the one we have in mind, but if the suggestion sug-gestion of the note quoted above could be adopted, the favor to the boy might start him right, and afford the starter a great deal of pleasure. Lynn Item. Using Law Books to Advantage. One supposes that it is the duty of naval officers to fight, not negotiate. Nevertheless, all officers of modern navies have more to do with international inter-national law thanwith ball and cannon. can-non. Prof. Moore of Columbia, was lecturing a few summers ago at the Newport Naval College, and International Inter-national law was one of the most important im-portant studies. The professor was setting forth all imaginable situations and allowing the students to suggest the best way out of them. One of the men could not appreciate the value of law in a sea fight. What he was yearning for was powder and shot. Asked by the professor as to what argument for international law he would use to convince the enemy of their error, he said contemptuously: "I would let them have all the volumes vol-umes of international law in wad form, and add the supplement by way of emphasis." Do Stars Explode? The appearance of a new star in the constellation of Perseus, and its rapid expansion into a nebula, which has been going on for some time past, have revived among astronomers the theory that some nebulae may be formed by explosion. About 1870 Prof. Bickerton of Canterbury college, New Zealand, showed that if two stars should- graze one another the abraded parts, if relatively small, would have so hig-h a temperature that they, would at once become nebulous, and that the nebula so Tormed would under certain conditions, condi-tions, continue to expand until dissipated dissi-pated in space. The present expanding expand-ing nebula has been growing at the extraordinary rate of several thousand miles a second and is, in many ways, one of the greatest celestial wonders of the time. From Success. Mourners in Red. In the dark, and part of the middle ages, red and not black was the favorite fav-orite mourning eoler throughout Europe. Eu-rope. Even down to the end of the fifteenth century the change from blood red to black was not complete, though black cloaks were worn over red clothing. In" Abyssinia the mourning mourn-ing color is a reddish brown. In Turkey Tur-key it is violet, a color closely allied to red. It is a curious fact that among the Maoris of New Zealand red is the hue of sorrow. In earlier times mourn-jers mourn-jers daubed their bodies with red luices when they followed a chief to his grave, and even the resting places of the bodies were also colored red.

HE HAD DONE WELL Thrifty Yankee's Comment on Latest Matrimonial Venture. , Uncle Isrul Trask was one of those thrifty Yankees who, his neighbors averjr'3, would squeeze a dollar "till the eagle on It hollered" before allowing allow-ing it to leave his pocket. He was a shopkeeper in a small way, but his business had not proved in the long run so profitable as his several matrimonial matri-monial ventures, which had been three times celebrated. Soon after the last event of the kind had been solemnized, one of his intimates rallied him with; "Well, Uncle Isrul, heard's how you'd be'en an' done it ag'in. How'd you make out this time?
