TO WORKING Appropriate Saying Recalled at a Washington Dinner. A number of speakers made short addresses at the dinner which Secretary Root recently gave to members of the military affairs committee.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE. Irishmans Philosophic Comment on Hiss Paines Experience. the Lose of Hi Legs. Gov. Odell of New York, tells this story of & Newburg parson well known for the extremely optimistic view he takes of other mens misfortunes. One day this hopeful divine was called in to administer spiritual comfort to an Irishman who was lying in the emergency hospital at Fishkill Landing. The poor fellow had lost both legs In an accident in a stone quarry, and was taking what the saintly doctor considered an impassioned view of his prospects. Come, my good man, said the. parson, cheerfully, its the loss of a pair of legs, to be sure, but Its not so bad as It might be.

GREAT many remedies to temporarily relieve catarrh have been devised from time to time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams and other local applications, but, as a rule, the medical profession has little or no enthusiasm in the treatment of catarrh. It is generally pronounced by them to be Incurable. It therefore created a great sensation in tnedical circles when Dr. Hartman announced that he had devised a compound which would cure catarrh permanently. The remedy was named Peruna and in a short time became known to thousands of catarrh sufferers north, south, east and west. Letters testifying to the fact that Peruna is a radical cure for catarrh began to pour In from all directions. Thousands of such letters are on file in the office of The Peruna Medicine Co. Rev. E. Stubenvoll, Pella, Wis., writes : I feel obliged to extend 'you my personal All thanks for my complete restoration. through the winter I suffered from throat and lung trouble, but recovered my entire health by the use of yomr excellent remedy, Peruna.
