From all parts of the world are to be found representative ministers in the city attending the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which opened Monday morning at 10 o'clock and will perhaps remain in session during the rest of the month of May. The opening was impressive, and was participated in by fully 500 delegates. The delegates formed line in the lecture room of Quinn Chapel, and headed by Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, D. D., LL. D., marched to the auditorium and the opening followed. "Before Jehovah's Awful Throne" was the opening hymn, led by Bishop B. F. Lee, and the opening prayer was made by Bishop Wesley J. Galnes, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga. "We have met here this morning in keeping with the law of our General Church, and I trust that each of you are here for the purpose of working for the interest of our church," said Bishop Turner in calling the General Conference to order. "We want to conduct ourselves in keeping with our calling. "And Are We Ye Alive?" was lined by Bishop C. S. Smith, D. D., of Detroit, Mich., and Bishop Evans Tyree conducted the ritual. This was followed by a fervent prayer by Dr. H. B. Parks, of New York city, and Bishop Moses B. Salter, D. D., of Charleston, S. C., preached the opening sermon. It was a masterly effort and full of practical advice to the ministers and the members of the General Church. Bishop Salter is an able man and a good speaker. He is in many respects one of the greatest men of his race. Holy Communion was administered by Bishops B. T. Tanner and Levi J. Coppin, and the benediction was pronounced by Bishop C. T. Schaffer. The afternoon session was spent in organization, which was interesting. Rev. L. H. Reynolds called the roll, and several contests were announced. At the conclusion of the roll call Rev. L. H. Reynolds of Norfolk, Va., was elected chief secretary without opposition. This is the third time that he has been elected to the high position, and so acceptable has he rendered his service that he is regarded as the best secretary General Conference has ever had. The session in the evening was spent in general reception to the delegates. Bishop H. M. Turner presided. The music by one choir on this occasion was excellent, and the singers won for themselves laurels. The first speaker was Governor Richard Yates, who in the course of his address of welcome assured the ministers of the conference that he was interested in their success. His address indicated the colored man was a full-fledged citizen of this commonwealth, and was entitled to all that any other citizen was entitled to. H espoke of the conflicts in which the country had been engaged, and said that the colored men had ever been giving their lives in the defense of the flag. Bishop William B. Derrick, D. D., of New York City, responded to the address. Bishop Derrick is one orator of the episcopacy who knows what to say and how to say it and he is a safe representative of his race. He thanked the Governor for the kind words said in the interest of the Negro, and said that he possessed the spirit of his father. Bishop Derrick, in closing, deserved that the time would come in the history of the race when he could have the pleasure of addressing Governor Yates as the President of the nation. Hon. W. S. Taylor, City Attorney, represented the Mayor in an address of welcome. He extended a cordial welcome to the delegates attending the General Conference and said many nice things. Rev. H. B. Parks responded to this address and Bishop Fallows also delivered an address of welcome. Bishop Turner said that the General Conference appreciated having the Governor of Illinois present, which was a great State, the State which furnished the immortal Lincoln, and where now sleeps his remains. He said that it was worth a trip any time to visit Springfield and view the monument and tomb of Lincoln. "We love Lincoln," he said, "but I am told that his son, who is at the head of the Pullman Company, has issued an order prohibiting our people from riding in sleeping cars. I hope that this is not true." After a short address, including a short address by Bishop Abraham Grant, President of the General Conference Commission, and one of the ablest men of the church, the General Conference took a recess. Memorial services was the thing which claimed the attention of the General Conference in the second day after the announcement of a number of committees. Respect was paid to the memory of Bishop M. M. Moore and Dr. P. A. Hubbard. Simple Printing Process The process of printing from a flat surface is done on the simple principle that oil or grease and water won't mix. The design to be printed from lithographic stone or aluminum plate is defined in ink the basis of which is grease. Over the rest of the plate a roll, moist with water, is passed, and when the surface of the plate comes in contact with the paper nothing prints except that portion previously marked out in grease. The process, hitherto confined exclusively to lithographic work, may now by the use of the aluminum plate be made available for use on fast web perfecting presses such as are used by modern newspapers. Some Big Flyers. Of birds now in existence, probably the one with the greatest expanse of wing in proportion to the body, and with the greatest power of flight, is the frigate or man-o'-war bird. This bird apparently flies more by skill than by strength, for it has no great carrying powers. The wandering albatross, the largest of all sea birds, is also one of our strongest filers. One bird was known to fly at least 3,150 miles in twelve days. This bird was caught, tagged, released and caught again.—From "Nature and Science" in St. Nicholas. Moliere's Baptism. Relies of Moliere are so uncommon that any addition to the list is welcome. M A. Prudhomme, archvist of the Isleire, has just added another, which is the original of the great playwright's certificate of baptism at Grenoble. The godfather was one Poquecin, the king's valet de chambre, and the godmother "Demoiselle Magdelaine Bejarre, daughter of the noble Joseph Bejar, citizen of Paris." The mother is described as "Honest Catherine La Clere, married to Edme Villequin." - London Globe. Heating Power of Coal. The heating power of coal is measured by the amount of carbon contained in a ton or a pound. Anthracite coal is found in many countries, but it is only in the United States and in England that the article is high grade—92 per cent or better. Even our coal differs widely in its constitutional elements. One kind holds more ash than another. Still another variety holds more clinkers, in spite of repeated burnings. The best coal leaves no clinkers and makes very little ash. KANSAS CITY MO., FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1904. HE WAS A WEALTHY NEGRO. Warren C. Coleman, one of the best known negroes in the United States, died recently at Concord, N. H. Coleman was one of the most remarkable men of his race. Starting life in poverty, he became, through his own exertions, one of the wealthiest negroes in the country. He was once a student at Howard university in Washington, sustaining himself. Coleman later established himself in business and purchased real estate. At the time of his death he was said to be the owner of 100 houses, none of which were incumbered. Coleman started the first cotton factory in this country owned and operated by his people. He built a beautiful brick church in Concord and presented it to the congregation. He was one of the chief promoters of the colored state industrial fair, held annually at Raleigh for the past twenty-five years.—Kansas City Journal. THE GRIZZLY OF OLD DAYS. His Ferocity and Vitality Made Him a Terror to Hunters. In the old days, before the deadly magazine rifle was invented, hunting the grizzly was a very different affair, and no animal on the American continent was more dreaded, his fierceness and vital force when wounded filling the most reckless hunters with a wholesome dread. It was not at all unusual for a grizzly with a bullet through his heart pursue and tear to pieces the hunter, whose long, single-barrel muzzle-bloading rifle, with its one round lead bullet, was altogether inadequate for such a contest. It is a strange thing, too, that while the grizzly bear is an omniverous feeder, living on anything from roots and nuts to steer and buffalo meat, he has never been known to devour human flesh.—From J. M. Gleeson's "The Grizzly Bear" in St. Nicholas. THE KING OF SPORTS Balloon Voyaging Recommended as Ahead of Everything. There is a variety of sensations, to which one never quite accustoms himself, that makes of ballooning the king of sports. There is an exhilaration in automobiling over the smooth, picturesque roads of the continent at sixty or seventy miles an hour. One looks at the trees that line the roadway, and, facing almost a cyclone, notices that every leaf on a quiet day is motionless. The speed, which is maintained hour after hour and not released in descending hills, is magnificent, and the sensation inspiring. But to those who think that this is the limit of human sensation I can recommend as better and safer a voyage in a balloon over the Alps.-The World's Work. HOW GREAT SCHOLAR WOCED. Dr. Samuel Johnson's Final and Convincing Argument. Dr. Samuel Johnson married a Mrs. Porter of Birmingham. That lady's daughter thus described the doctor's wooing: "His appearance was very forbidding; he was lean and lank, so that his immense structure of bones was hideously striking to the eye, and the scars of the scrofa were deeply visible. He also wore his hair, which was straight and stiff, and separated behind; and he often had, seemingly, convulsive starts and odd gesticulations, which tended to excite at once surprise and ridicule. Mrs. Porter was so much engaged by his conversation that she overlooked all these external disadvantages and said to her daughter: "This is the most sensible man that I ever saw in my life." Mrs. Porter, who was twice Johnson's age, was not easily worn. Urged by her learned him to say why she still refused him, she said "an uncle of hers had been hung and she did not wish to bring disgrace on him." "Is that all?" said Johnson. "Why, though I have never had an uncle hung, I have two or three uncles who deserved it. So let's get married and say no more about that." The ladies of the Washington Irving Art club gave a reception at the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. Eli Harris April 27. This was one of the grandest affairs of its kind ever given. The ladies of the club put every effort forward to make it a success. The Oriental Art club of the west side and the Chrysanthemum Art club of Argentine were represented. There were fifty-three pieces of work on exhibition that was done by the ladies of the club. All of which Mrs. R. M. Frazier is instructress. Those present: Mr. and Mrs. D. M.

They sat around the blazing fire, Ted and Ned and Lou. And popped their corn and cracked their nuts. And wondered what they'd do If but one wish were granted each, With promise to come true. Ted said he had ambitions, He would go abroad. And told he marry well; Perhaps he'd be a lord. And with the King and Queen he'd sit Right merry at the board. Ned would like to be a singer, With a wondrous voice. To sing upon the stage. Would he his final choice. And he would charm the whole wide world. And make each heart rejoice. Still until the last one Thoughtfully sat Lou She had frowned a bit, Uncertaint what to do. "I think" she said, "If I'd one wish, I'd wish to make it two." Briefly Told Hard Luck Story. The teacher of a primary grade in one of the public schools in the Eighteenth ward was made the confident by a young pupil of the following hard luck story. The little chap is noted for a slowness of speech, which is off-set, however, by a directness of statement that goes straight to the marrow of any subject. He said: "Miss Jones, pop wuz l-e-a-d-l'n a horse l-a-s-t night, an' he dropped d-e-a-d." "That's too bad, Johnnie. I——" "Yes, m-am, an' he 'ad jus' pat d-six tyni-ne dollars for 'im,' interrupted and concluded the youngster.—Philadelphia Telegraph. The part of mathematics that marriage has most to do with is multiplication. GARRISON SCHOOL NOTES. Prof. Isaiah Mack Horton, a member of the Garrison school corps of teachers, was one of the orators in the winning team at Independence, Mo., Friday night. The strongest and most eloquent debaters in Western Missouri were in the fray. Mr. Horton has been invited to deliver an address to the Northwestern Missouri Teachers' association Saturday, May 14. The school will give an entertainment on the afternoon of May 26, in which all the rooms will take part. "WESTERN UNIVERSITY, QUINDARO, KANSAS." Second Anniversary of the Chautauqua Meeting. To the Public: One year ago we issued a call for a meeting of those interested in any and all movements calculated to inure to the benefit of the race. This call met with such a generous response on the part of all Race lovers in the west and was productive of such good results that all felt usified in the Republican administration are indeed to be commended for the recoeffecting a permanent organization, which was done at the last meeting one year ago. The purpose of the Chautauqua is as declared by its motto "The Unity and Uplift of the Race." To that end, the condition of the Race was discussed in all its phases, and plans formulated for a further ance of the work. That all attempted might not be visionar yand impractical, but permanent in all its results, bureaus were appointed to inquire into the condition of the Negroes of the West, and through the direction of such report on the work, status and progress of the Race along the lines comprehended under these bureaus, respectively. At the next meeting to be held in June, members of these Bureaus with others interested will read papers and discuss questions arising from the same. Many of the leading Negroes of the country have signified their intention to be present and participate. The following departments will be represented this year—Educational, Ministerial, Agricultural, Business Men's, Industrial, Legal, Medical, Press, Woman's Club and Fine Arts. Systematic work is being done in these departments and reports will be made at the next meeting. The sessions this year will be held on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Monday, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th or June.) Larger and more varled programs will be had at this session. The public is requested to cooperate in this effort for the betterment of the Race. Other announcements will be made later. Yours for the advancement of the Negro. W. T. VERNON, President. J. N. GARRETT, Secretary. The Charm of a Moslem Girl: When she is 12 or 14 the Moslem girl comes to know she is beautiful, though she does not marry at the early age of the Hindu girl. She counts the saris and cholis, and stings for fringes of pearls and modern diamond earrings she sees the friends of her mother wear. In her rose-colored veil with gold spots she is the prettiest picture you ever saw. With gazelle eyes and Asiatic grace she is full of ardor and naivete at the same time. She runs like a fawn at the approach of a stranger, but when unobserved her laughter rings through the house, and the instinctive coquery of her smile shows that the purdah is a necessity. -Edmund Russell in Everybody's Magazine. NUMBER 6 There will be a necktie and bonnet entertainment given at Zion A. M. E. church May 19 by the trustees and trustees helpers. Everybody is expected to assist toward it, for the church surely needs it. Don't forget the time and date. Rev. Bean of Marshall preached at the A. M. E. church Sunday morning and evening. He left Monday morning for his home. Mr. Monroe Worcuff spent Sunday in Kansas City. Returned back also with Mr. Roy Worcuff. There have been a number of marriages in the last few days! They are as follows: Mr. Bush Foster and Miss Bessie Bell, Mr. Harden Carey and Miss Rever Fields, also Miss Estell Willburn to a gentleman from Texas. We were unable to learn his name. We are expecting to have a few more in a few days. Mr. Ruben Holmes has opened a blacksmith shop in Mr. Lewis Smith's old stand. He is now prepared to shoe your horses, sharpen your ploughs, fix your wagons and anything else in the blacksmith line. Call on him. He is a young man that was reared here and learned the trade under Mr. Lewis Smith and has worked in the best shops in our city. He will also give you satisfaction if you call on him. The colored people ought to give him their work. Miss Nora Swaney of Kansas is here visiting her uncle, Mr. Tob Simson. Mr. Conway is still in the barber business. Mr. Hunter is in the restaurant business, also Mr. Cliff Bradford in the carpenter business. He employs from eight to ten hands every day. Such men are a blessing to the community. Mr. George Lang, the old soldier, paid up his subscription for the Rising Son. We hope others will do likewise. If you are right, the Son is with you, and if you are not, the Son is against you. THE PASSION OF CHRIST See the pictures and hear the lecture on the "Passion of Christ," by W. C. Bowman. This lecture will be illustrated from beginning to end. One of L. Manasse & Co.'s, of Chicago, Ill., best Peerless sclopion lanterns will be used to present the death of Christ. Mr. Bowman will lecture at Second Baptist church, Tenth and Charlotte, May 19, 1904, at 8 p. m. Admission, 10 cents. WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A TEL- EPHONE APPLIANCE. Because It does away with the writing of names and numbers on the wall, wood work, or on pieces of paper and tacking up on the wall, or in books and misplacing and not being able to find when wanted. Names and numbers can be written on the ribbon with lead pencil, pen or by typewriter and arranged alphabetically and found instantly. The ribbon ran be taken out for listing of names and call numbers. The ribbon is large enough to contain 150 names on each side and when you pull the ribbon out of the appliance, it rolls back itself. For office use, where it is necessary to be in constant communication with customers, the appliance is indispensible. For home use, for listing such names and numbers as the grocer, butcher, doctor, druggist and friends, it is just the thing. TELEPHONE APPLIANCE CO. There is one thing about an automobile; it doesn't shed hair in the spring. HINTS The LATEST FASHION Gown for Short Woman. A certain very rich American woman living abroad went to her Paris dressmaker last fall and asked him to make her a becoming gown. "I look short in everything," said she, "and very stout. Make something which will become my style well." The man dressmaker thought and thought and finally he achieved a gown which, when put on, answered the purpose admirably. It lengthened the woman and made her look more slender. This gown, which was made of taffeta, was nearly four inches upon the floor in front. The back fell away in a very long and very graceful line. The skirt, while it was full, was fitted around the hips and the fullness all came in down below. The result was charming. Nine Gored Walking Skirt. Walking skirts that provide generous fulness and flare and yet are snug over the hips make the latest and most graceful shown. The model il- lustrated is admirable in every way, and means comfort to the wearer as well as style. As shown it is made of tan-colored cravenette stitched with corticell silk and trimmed with fibre braid, but all suiting and skirting materials are ap- illustrated is admirable in every way, and means comfort to the wearer as well as style. As shown it is made of tan-colored cravenette stitched with corticell silk and trimmed with fibre braid, but all suit-ing and skirting materials are appropriate and simple stitching can be used as a finish in place of the braid when preferred. The skirt is cut in nine gores with extensions at all front and side seams that form the tuck plaits, and can be stitched above the plaits, as illustrated, or finished with bands of braid. The fulness at the back is laid in inverted plaits that are stitched to match the seams and the upper edge can be finished with the belt or cut on dip outline and underfaced or bound, as may be preferred. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $11\frac{1}{4}$ yards 27 inches wide, $6\frac{1}{4}$ yards 44 inches wide or 5 yards 52 inches wide when material has figure or nap; $8\frac{1}{4}$ yards 27, $5\frac{1}{4}$ yards 44 or $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards 52 inches wide when material has neither figure nor nap, with 8 yards of braid to trim as illustrated. The pattern 4,709 is cut in sizes for a 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 inch waist measure. Pretty Cotton Ornaments. Lovely ornaments are to be worn this spring, made of cotton. There are hanging balls and cotton loopings and all sorts of cotton braidings. These braids are put on by hand in the old-fashioned way, in little twirls, just as one braided one's gown years ago. The narrow white and colored braids are used, and the designs are distributed over skirt panels, over yokes and over the caps and the cuffs of sleeves. A very neat little ornament was made for a pretty cotton figured dress. The material showed pink figures upon a ground of cream. Little circles of the goods were cut out and braided in white. They were then edged with lace and applied to the gown, making a very nice trimming. Girl's "Buster Brown" Dress. "Buster Brown" styles have taken a firm hold on the girls as well as the small boys, and dresses for the latter's sister, made after that widely-known youngster's, are among the latest shown. This one is made of natural colored linen with white collar and cuffs that are detachable, but all simple childish materials, wool as well as linen and cotton, are appropriate and collar and cuffs can be of the same or white as preferred. 4707 Girls "Buster Brown" Dress, 4 to 12 years. 6707 Girls "Buster Brown" Dress, 4 to 12 years. The dress is made with front and back, the front tucked, the back box-plaited and the skirt portion laid in additional inverted plaits at the under-arm seams, and is closed at the back, an opening being cut beneath the center plait. The sleeves are simply full and both neck and wrists are finished with bands to which the cuffs can be sewn, or attached by means of buttons and buttonholes as liked. At the waist is a belt of the material that is slipped under straps at the under-arm seams. The quantity of material required for the medium size (8 years) is $4\frac{1}{4}$ yards 27 inches wide. $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 44 inches wide or $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 52 inches wide with $\frac{1}{2}$ yard of white linen for collar and cuffs. The pattern 4707 is cut in sizes for girls of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 years of age. Pairs in Furnishings. There are two or three kinds of drawing rooms that literally set the teeth on edge, and cause the souls of artistic people to shudder within them, comments the London Queen. One is the room where everything is in pairs; there are pairs of vases, pairs of photograph frames, pairs of pictures, pairs of footstools, pairs of everything. It is impossible to prevent the thought flashing across the mind that if pairing originated with the flood, one can only wish that Noah had taken the animals into the ark one by one. Handsome Nickel Bread Trave Handsome and ornamental for the table are the nickel bread trays in old Colonial design, showing fluted and beaded borders in highly polished finish. These trays are somewhat boat-shaped, and show ornamental effects in pierced work. The new nickel teaspoons, made up in the thin delicate model of the teaspoon of our great grandmothers' days, are dainty and look so like their ancient prototypes that few people would doubt their being genuine old-fashioned silver. Sweet Simplicity. For younger women at least some salvation from the deluge of overdressing is at hand. In France young girls are wearing almost sun-like costumes in soft colors, preferably, grays. They are quite untrimmed, except for a nice belt buckle and a white collar, which is usually a dainty, simple thing of fine plaited muslin or embroidered lawn, or sometimes it is a fichu and chemisette, but always white and simple. It is a fashion which many young American girls of good family are adopting. Ornaments for Gowns The washable lawn and the washable muslin is almost a thing of the past. Each season it goes further and further into the background, and this season it is quite impossible to conceive a laundress who can wash the shirred skirts or who can so tub the gathered waists that they will come out wearable. The remedy is not to be found, except in the careful wearing of these gowns and their preservation when not in use. Blouse Waist Closed in Back. Waists of lace over chiffon or mousse-line are eminently fashionable and are charmingly becoming and attractive as well. This one is made of cream repose lace, the yoke being composed of strips of insertion and bands of silk embroidered with French knots, and is lined with chiffon only, cut exactly like the lace, but the fitted foundation can be used when liked. The stream lace over the white makes a most attractive effect and the deep belt of 4709 Blouse Waist, 32 to 43 bus. composed of strips of insertion and bands of silk embroidered with French knots, and is lined with chiffon only, cut exactly like the lace, but the fitted foundation can be used when liked. The cream lace over the white makes a most attractive effect and the deep belt of cream messaline satin is both correct and in harmony with the waist. When lace is not desirable thin silks, chiffon and indeed all materials soft enough to allow of shirring will be found equally satisfactory, the design being suited to all such. The waist consists of the fitted lining, which is optional, front, backs and yoke is closed invisibly at the back. When the lining is used, yet a transparent effect desired, it and the material can be cut away beneath the yoke. The sleeves are simply full, finished with bands and frills of lace. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 6 yards 18 inches wide, 5 yards 21 inches wide or $2\%$ yards 44 inches wide, with $4\%$ yards of insertion for yoke, 2 yards of lace for sleeves and $3\%$ yards of silk for belt. The pattern 4708 is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 36 and 40-inch bust measure. Honiton and Moire Pillows. White and colored moire silks are beautiful for pillows when worked in the new fashion with white embroidery silk and honiton braids. A pale green one, worked in white and finished with a white silk cord, is dainty and useful. These combinations are rare in pillows nowadays. --- Readers of this paper can secure any May Manton pattern illustrated above by filling out all banks in coupon, and mailing, with 10 cents, to E. E.

Only by risking the life of little John Hynes by firing repeatedly close to him could men kill a cat that was tearing wildly at the boy's face at Springfield, N. J., the other day. Four times the men shot the cat and still it clawed and bit the boy in a mad frenzy. Only when the fifth bullet lodged in its body did it fall dead beside the injured lad. The men were in a blacksmith shop when they heard the boy's screams in a field nearby. They rushed to him but were unable to grab the cat and had to shoot almost at the boy in order to kill the mad animal. A doctor treated the boy, who was terribly scratched and lacerated. The lad had been playing in the field at the rear of the shop when the cat, with a snarl, jumped upon him. MADE WELL BY FREEZING. Swiss Gentleman Cured Himself of Long-Standing Dyspepsia. Scientific investigation has discovered that that troublesome disease, dyspepsia, can be cured by short intervals of exposure to intense cold, followed by hearty eating. M. Raoul Pictet, a Swiss gentleman, was experimenting with a very low temperature. He had produced an artificial temperature in a sort of pit which caused the thermometer to sink to 140 or 150 degrees below zero. Among other experiments he exposed himself for a brief interval to this temperature by lowering himself into the pit. On emerging he found himself intensely hungry and ate freely. The process was repeated several times, and as a result he found himself cured of chronic indigestion, from which he had suffered for years. Combined Boxing and Wrestling. Theseus, the hero of Athens, introduced science into the Grecian sport and combined boxing and wrestling into one. ROSE CHANGES IN COLOR. People of the Orient Have Produced Floral Marvel. The Chinese, Japanese and Slamese are peculiarly skilful at botanical feats. One of their wonderful achievements is known as the "changeable rose." This bloom is white in the shade and red in the sunlight. A night or in a dark room this curiosity of the rose family is a pure, waxy-white blossom. When transferred to the open air, the transformation immediately steps in, the time of the entire change of the flower from white to red depending on the degree of sunlight and warmth. First the petals take on a kind of washed or faded blue color, and rapidly change to a faint blush of pink. The pink gradually deepens in hue until you find that your lily-white rose of an hour before is as red as the reddest peony that ever bloomed. WIDOW GETS LUCKY FARTHING Enterprising Woman Turns Small Award to Good Account The farthing, which the English judges have been making use of frequently of late in awarding damages to litigants, has proved in one case a useful coin. A West Bromwich widow recently obtained a farthing in a brech of promise action she had brought against a faithless lover. She put it in the windows of her tobacco shop with a printed warning to trusting women to beware of mizpah rings and inviting men to come and buy breach of promise cigars and widow's mite cigars. The result was such a big business that the police had to stand by to keep the pavement clear, while nineteen men, mostly widowers, came and offered themselves in marriage. Armorclad. Reproduction from old Japanese print showing armorclad warship used by the Japanese in the seventeenth century. Ducks Show Intelligence. Some ducks in Rhode Island finding themselves prevented by the ice from enjoying a swim in their favorite pond, rose en masse in the air and came down plump in the middle of the pond, breaking the ice by the force of their united impact, and securing for themselves open water in which to disport. Mandolin on Ancient Lute in Colm in Ancient Instrument. The mandolin was an old instrument a couple of centuries ago, having then, after a long series of evolutions, reached its present shape at Naples, which city has always claimed the honor of its origin. HOBBY HORSE THAT TRAVELS. Toy Provides New Amusement for Lucky Youngsters. There has been invented a hobby horse for the use of the infant terrible, that not only gives the youthful rider a rocking motion, but propels itself with him across the floor. This propulsion is secured through the means of connecting rods between the A The Motor Horse. hind legs of the horse and a crank on the rear axle of the machine, as shown in the cut. FOOTBALL FOR A HUSBAND. Matrone and Spinsters Engage In Battle on the Gridiron. Until early in the nineteenth century it was a very ancient custom practiced at Inverness for the spinsters to meet the matrons in an annual game of football. All the available women took part and the men surrounded the players and urged on their sisters, wives and sweethearts in their struggle directing their efforts by word of mouth and encouraging the exhausted to struggle on and secure the much coveted prize. The honors of these unusual combats, strange to say, rested more often with the married than the single, for the men selected their wives from those who showed most prowess and endurance on the football field. Hence all the better players were mated and frequently more than a match for the less tough and skilful maidens, though the latter fought like the knights of old for the lady of their choice and to the death. A strange reversal of positions, which doubtless had its compensating advantages when domestic differences arose between a tyrannical husband and his former football consort. STOOD KING ON HIS HEAD.

Queer Old English Barn The Tithe Barn, which for generations has stood in Boroughbury, Peterborough, England, has now been acquired by antiquary and is to be resecured in London. The structure is believed to be 650 years old, and was built to accommodate the tenth part of the produce of the hard, which was set apart for the maintenance of the monastery. The interior was divived into arcades, the roof being supported by massive beams of chestnut, which are supposed to have been cut from a neighboring forest. The most singular thing in connection with the whole of the timber work was the entire absence of iron nails. The side supports had been cut out of a solid piece of wood. Effective Korean Signals The Korean war office has a simple and effective way of signaling by means of bonfires. Every night four huge beacon fires are lighted on the summit of a huge hill near Seoul known as the Cock's Comb. This signifies throughout Korea "all's well." An extra fire signifies that an enemy been signaled off some part of the coast. Two extra lights mean that the enemy has landed, three give the information that the enemy are moving inland, and four give the dread news that they are pushing on toward the capital. Wanted the "Cookies." A little 3-year-old miss from Somerville, Mass., while en route from Union to Appleton, in Malne, passed a cooper's shop, so common in Knox county, beside which was an immense pile of heading employed in the making of lime casks. The little one was evidently hungry, for as she espied the heading she cried: "Oh, mamma, I like those cookies!"

The luckiest Cincinnati fishmater this year is Mr. Edward Hart, who last week caught a large "salifish," a few miles at sea, off Miami. Fla. This fish is one of the rarest known to science. Previous to the one caught by Mr. Hart there have been but four others captured; three of them are in European museums and one at the Smithsonian institution. The one caught by the Cincinnati weighs seventy-five pounds and is a perfect specimen of his kind. These sailfish are peculiarly constructed. On their backs is a sort of a pocket from which they can put up a fibrous oval fin, which forms a sail for the fish when moving at the surface of the ocean. When the wind is blowing strong these fish can travel; at a rapid rate when their sail is set. On the under part of the fish is a strong fin, which they can draw entirely into the body as they sail. The long sword protruding from the fish's head makes of this tribe a formidable enemy to the other fishes. They are found only along the Florida coast. A few days after Mr. Hart caught his specimen, he saw two or three others sailing on top of the water and going at a rapid rate.—Cincinnati Enquirer. ROYAL PLAYERS OF GOLF. Game Long a Favorite One With Engl ish Rulers. Members of the English royal fam ly of long ago could put up a game of golf that would have called forth praise on the links. Henry, son of James I, was a noted golfer, even as a boy, and of him the following story is told: "At playing golf, whilst his school- master stood talk- ing with another, and marked not his highness warn- ing him to stand farther off, the prince, thinking he Charles I Playing Golf, From the Old Print.

Incident Turned Theatrical Tragedy Into Comedy In the days of his youth M. Coquelin was ambitious, and the parts he loved best to play were those in which he died in full view of an appreciative audience, for his art. He had one of these roles one evening at the Boulogne theater, and played it splendidly, getting a ringing round of applause as he fell dead upon the stage. Then his troubles started. The audience's applause woke up a mosquito, which applied itself to M. Coquelin with so much assiduity that the corpse felt it must either scream or scratch. Another actor, who played a general in the corps of which the dead M. Coquelin was a young ensign, was standing near the body, and had to say: "See, then, how sad a thing is war! But now this youth was living. Now he is dead—motionless for all time! Nothing, save a miracle, can give him life again." But M. Coquelin could hold out no longer. The mosquito was still biting busily, and Coquelin had to sit up and slap his leg. "The miracle has happened," cried the general, while the audience laughed until it cried at this too lively corpse. Not Enough "Microbin!" After all, the men do not have all the best things in life. A few nights ago a young woman in the retiring room of a city theater was asked if she thought the play on view would attract large audiences. She replied in the negative. Whereupon the sable attendant, evidently impressed with the absence of the love interest, volunteered this information: "Dah! Dat's jes' what Ah said. Do trouble wid dis piece is dat dey ain't nuff microin' in it." Signals at Sea. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. P. Q. R. S. P. Q. R. S. According to the international marine code.

A recent issue of the Shelbyville, Illinois, Democrat contains a long and interesting letter from Mr. Elias Kost, formerly a prosperous farmer of that state, who recently emigrated to Western Canada, taking up a claim for himself and for each of his three sons. From Mr. Kost's letter, which was written Feb. 3, 1904, we publish the following, believing it will prove of great interest to those who have contemplated settling in the Canadian Northwest: "I had in August, 1902, secured a claim for myself, and filed on three quarter sections for my sons. My claim is one-half mile south of the Edmonton and Lake St. Anne trail. "Coming so late in the season we had little opportunity to break and to prepare ground for a first year's crop, still we raised over 100 bushels of very fine potators, and sowed a few acres of barley, but the season was too far advanced for the barley. However, we secured good feed from it, and on rented ground 18 miles east of us, raised a fine crop of oats, so that we will have plenty of feed for horses. We cut about 60 tons of hay and thus will have an abundance. We have, all told, about 240 acres of hay meadow, which would yield the past year over three tons to the acre, and in an ordinary season the meadow would furnish 600 tons of hay. The grass is very nutritious, and cattle on the ranges become very fat without being fed a pound of grain. "On the upland the grass grows from eight to ten inches tall. This is called range grass, and is suitable for stock at any time, even in the winter when the ground is not covered too deep with snow. Horses subsist on it alone, at all times, provided they are native stock. The grass in the hay meadows here is called red-top, and grows from five to six feet in length, and when cut at the proper time yields an abundant crop of nutritious bay. "Our cattle have not cost us a cent since we came on our homestead, only the small outlay for salt and labor in putting up hay and shelter. All cattle have been doing well this winter, and feeding up to the first of January was unnecessary, as there was good range up to that time. "All the snows up to that date were followed by winds from the northwest that melts it very rapidly; these winds are called Chinook winds, and are always warm. In one night a Chinook wind may take away three or four inches of snow. "We have built on our claim a comfortable house of hewn logs, 20x26 feet, one and one-half stories in height, with a good cellar. During the latter part of June we rafted logs down the Sturgeon to a sawnmill, about eight miles away, and thus secured 5,000 feet of good lumber which was needed for the house. Later in the season a shingle mill located six miles away. To this we hauled logs and had shingles cut for the roof. "We had an abundance of wild fruit the past season, consisting of gooseberries, strawberries, raspberries, eyebberries, blueberries, cherries and saskatoons. The latter are a fine looking berry, red, and quite pleasant to the taste, but not much to be desired in cookery. The strawberries are the same as those that grow wild in Illinois. Raspberries are red in color, large and equal to any of the tame varieties, and so are the gooseberries. The cranberries consist of the high and trailing varieties. The latter are most sought and contiguous to the swamps. The ground is literally covered with them as with a red carpet, but the best and most sought is the blueberry, so called by the Indians. This is the famous 'huckleberry' (whortleberry) of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Pennsylvania, and cannot be excelled for excellence by any fruit cultivated. It is found here both on the prairie and in the timber in immense quantities. "Game is very plentiful so far as prairie chickens, pheasants, ducks of all kinds, and these are concerned. We have taken nearly 500 chickens and pheasants, also a great many ducks. "An occasional deer is seen, but are not plentiful, only one having been taken during the season in this settlement. "Fish are very plentiful at all seasons of the year. Fish wagons and sleds are passing almost daily along the trail with heavy loads of fish, destined for St. Albert and Edmonton. From the latter point they are shipped south on the Calgary and Edmonton railroad to points along the line, and also to Assinibio, on the Canadian Pacific railroad."

She was motherless; had a father who only lived to give her fine clothes to wear and splendid horses to ride. She was an heiress to immense fortune. Her real name was Gabrielle Ransome; but one of her admirers called her My Lady Disdain, and Gabrielle was proud of the title. She treated most of her lovers with unconditional disdain when she happened to be in the mood for thus rewarding their devotion. He who had thus named her fared no better than the rest. It had happened in this way: Gabrielle was queen and goddess of a certain watering place one summer, and Eugene Jalmy was there. She had met him in New York and was pleased with him because he was handsome and looked distinguished, and had a French origin, and was, in short, a personage somewhat out of the common. But he was poor; a literary scribe of some sort or other, she hardly knew what. Gabrielle was really attracted by Valmy's brilliant talk and his vivid alternations of humor and thoughtfulness; his varied experiences and knowledge. Those of her circle somewhat looked down upon him for his poverty, which made her take him up all the more eagerly. So Valmy found himself during the season at this watering place distinguished in a manner which surprised, enraptured and almost, if not quite, bewildered him. Anyhow he made wild love to Gabrielle Ransome, asked her to marry him, pressed and besought her, and received at last an angry, vehement, disdainful refusal. He learned by bitter experience how justly applied was the title he had given her. She sent him from her with scornful, stinging words. He left the place that evening. Gabrielle locked herself in her room shortly after, and wept bitter and passionate tears. Who can explain why she felt miserable, and yet wholly unrepentant? Who can explain why the place and the society around her seemed now utterly barren and hateful, and yet were Valmy back at her feet, she knew she would reject him. Gabrielle was as brilliant and attractive during the remainder of the season as ever. But there was a strange sort of anxiety every now and then in her eyes, as if she was always expecting someone who never came. Yet it was not much evidence of a developing soul which Gabrielle Ransome gave when, toward the close of the season, she consented to promise her hand to the richest and least intellectual of her admirers. The thing was done suddenly. She seemed to act as one does who, having a desired duty to do, suddenly starts and rushes at the doing of it to get rid of it. ```markdown ``` Made wild love to Gabrielle Ransome. She flung herself into the engagement with Gervase Trenchard in just that spirit of despair which makes many a poor girl deprive her life of all happiness. Gabrielle rode out with her flance one day on a road which ran along the margin of the sea. It was an exquisite day in early autumn. How glorious the scene, and how dull the pair who rode along. They hardly spoke. Gabrielle was quite out of humor—sick of the scene, of herself, of life; and her good-natured lover, after having tried to amuse her, and having failed utterly, began to discover that she preferred to be left alone, and meekly endeavored to consult her pleasure accordingly. They rode along wearily until they came within sight of a pretty little cottage which looked upon the sea, and near which a boat and some nets were lying. Gabrielle's quick ear caught a sound of walling within the cottage. She checked her horse and listened. Yes, there was the sound of weeping and her heart impelled her to go in. Her lover, unable to understand her emotional impulse, obeyed her orders and lifted her from her horse. She gently opened the door and entered. An old woman was there and was kneeling in sobbing prayer beside the bed. Gabrielle advanced and touched her shoulder with gentle, compassionate hand. At the same moment Gabrielle saw what was lying on the bed. A dead body, the corpse of what M. C. "The wound I have received I shall carry to the grave." had been a handsome dark-complexioned man in the pride of youth and noble vigorous form. And Gabrielle started and almost screamed, so like at the moment did the features and form appear to those of Eugene Valmy. Certainly Gabrielle thought for the moment that it was the dead body of Eugene. "My son! son!" the poor woman sobbed. "My poor boy, Stephen." Gabrielle sat beside her and soon learned the simple, sad story. The youth was her only son; he was a fisherman; he went out in his boat the night before last; a storm came up; he was drowned. "I knew something would happen," the old woman went on. "He didn't care for life any more; I think he wanted to die. His mother's love was not enough for him." "Was he in love?" Gabrielle asked, gently, and still absorbed in the resemblance to Eugene Valmy. "He was deceived. She threw him away because she had an offer from a man who owns a few boats and houses yonder. And she who drove him away is alive and merry. Well, God forgive her! Forgive all such creatures who have no hearts of their own, and play with the hearts of men." "Oh, forgive all such women, indeed," said Lady Disdain, with streaming eyes. And she thought of herself at just that moment. "And how much worse am I than that other creature, even as this poor mother pictures her! For she really did not love this young man, while—I did love Eugene Valmy. I cast him off and scorned him!" Gabrielle rode home in the moonlight, sad and silent. Even her lover began to understand that her soul was not with him. Gabrielle slept little that night. She looked into her own heart and into her life; she thought and wept and prayed. She rose in the morning purified, strengthened and elevated. Soon all the world knew that, for some reason or other, the engagement between Gabrielle Ransome and Gervase Trenchard had been broken off. Eugene Valmy did not hear of the fact until after his return from Alaska, whither he had gone to try to cure himself of his fatal love. He returned to New York uncured. For a time he kept entirely out of the society where Gabrielle might possibly be; but he soon told himself that this was a weakness of which he ought to be ashamed, and that he must be a man among men. So he went boldly into society, and he met her. He approached her and smoke in calm, friendly tones. Out My Lady Disdain said: "Mr. Valmy, when last we met I spoke in a manner which wounded you and shamed me. Will you forgive me? I have suffered much." "Surely, Miss Ransome, when you speak so kindly and earnestly. I must forgive anything you have said. Let us speak of it no more." "Nay, but I must speak of it a little more. Have you changed since then, Mr. Valmy?" The blood rushed into the young man's face, and he looked at her, seeking a true meaning of such a question. He saw only a strange, sweet expression there, half timid, half encouraging. "Do you ask me out of mere cruelty, Miss Ransome? How could I change? The wound that I have received I shall carry to the grave." "Can I heal that wound, Mr. Valmy? For I have changed since then—or, if I have not changed, I know my true self at last." Thus it was that My Lady Disdain lald down her arms, having found her heart. The corpse of the fisher youth had taught her the true lessons of life, and the lessons of life are the lessons of love—Utica Globe. WILL DELAY SAILING SHIPS. Beit of Calm Sea at Eastern End of Panama Canal. At the eastern extremity of the canal the difficulties which a sailing vessel may expect to encounter will arise from a superabundance of wind rather than a lack of it. At the western extremity, on the other hand, these conditions will be completely reversed. Upon emerging from the canal into the Pacific ocean a vessel will enter an extensive belt of calms and light alrs, which render navigation by sail more tedious than in any other frequented portion of the sea. The width of this region varies—at some points wide, at others narrow. In that portion of the North Pacific included between the American coast and the meridian of 120 degrees west it reaches a maximum, extending latitude from a point one or two degrees north of the equator to Cape San Lucas, the southern extremity of Lower California. In both approaching and leaving Panama, irrespective of the port from which or toward which bound, a sailing vessel must of necessity navigate a greater or less width of the belt of calms, and in estimating for a given voyage the saving of time effected by the use of the canal the delay arising from this cause must not be neglected—National Geographic Magazine. The Aspen Tree. The little aspen tree stands high Upon the hill that guards the lane; Her leaves are green as emeralds, Her prattle is like dancing rain; She gossips to the wind, the sky, And we are comrades, she and I. I climb the hill at evenfall: I chimp the kit at eventhair: She stands so high she may look down And she turns her ear turned The winding highway from the town, And in the wind's arm bend to see And murmur that you haste to me. And with her hundred voices tell Each step you take to reach my side, And laugh in merry mockery, Pretend to scold, and weep and chide, And stand a moment mute in grief Then laugh with every rustling leaf. And when at last you take my hands And call my name in mimicry, She chatters it a dozen times, And then, in gay and elfish glee, Attunes her happy leaves to this— The lisping cadence of a kiss. Swearing by Proxy. Now that the golf season is on, the following true story of a Brookline clergyman is appropriate: One day he was going round with a friend, and made up on a couple with whom both were acquainted. One of the pair in front teed his ball carefully, addressed it as carefully—and sliced it in a shocking manner. Forgetting all about his ministerial friend, Mr. M. let out one big, spirit-releiving "D—n," quickly clutched his clubs, and made off after the gutta. The parson said nothing, but quietly continued his game. Several days after he and the same partner were again out, and on reaching the hole referred to the minister also made a bad shot from the tee—worse, if possible, than that which had called forth the layman's expletive. "I wish Mr. M. were here," was all the minister said.—Boston Journal. Gen. Lew Wallace is 77 Gen. Lew Wallace, the hoosier "soldier, diplomat, author," to whom a loving cup was presented recently by literary friends of the west, celebrated his seventy-seventh birthday anniversary recently at the home of his son, Henry Wallace, in Indianapolis.

Some of the leaders of the Democratic party in Congress are trying to make the country believe that it would be safe to trust that party in the control of the government. "There is no free trade party in the United States," says Champ Clark, "and Republicans ought to quit asserting that there is." In a recent magazine article John Sharp Williams, the Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, says: "As to the tariff, the Democratic party stands for the principle that protectionism is a system of taxation whereby many are robbed in order that a few may be hot-housed by legislation into artificial prosperity. The method whereby 'protection' does this is by deflecting capital and labor from naturally profitable pursuits into pursuits which without legislation would have been less profitable or perhaps not profitable at all. "The ultimate goal of Democratic striving is 'tariff for revenue only,' but in the striving toward this goal common sense, good judgment and conservatism will prevail, and time will enter as a factor. Perhaps it might be said that an ideal Democratic 'tariff for revenue only' would consist in levying import duties upon all or nearly all imports, dividing them, however, into three classes: First, necessaries of life and necessaries of industries; second, comforts, and third, luxuries." "We go forth to battle," says Chasap Clark, "with tariff reduction and genuine reciprocity inscribed upon our banner. Our appeal is to the great body of the people. To them we pin our faith without hesitation and without fear." But it was not long ago that this same Democratic leader said: "I repeat, so that all men may hear, that I am a free trader, and proudly take my stand with Sir Robert Peel, Richard Cobden, John Bright and Henry George. I may be a humble member of that illustrious company, but it is better to be a doorkeeper in the house of honest free traders than to dwell in the tents of wicked protectionists." It was this same leader that also said that if he could have his way he would demolish every custom house in the country. The principal reason for the present moderation of Champ Clark and John Sharp Williams is that they know the country would not follow them in a radical course; they want, therefore, to make the country believe that they are conservative, and that if put into power they would act cautiously and would not so change tariff rates as to disturb business or cause trouble. But the country will not be deceived or misled. The best way to judge of the future is by the past. The Democracy was put into complete power in the election of 1892; they had the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the presidency for the first time since the beginning of the civil war; they could do just what they pleased. But instead of passing a tariff bill promptly, and so framed as to afford relief, they boggled over the matter for fourteen months and finally passed a bill so bad that their own president would not sign it, while lacking the courage to veto it. And the long delay in putting the measure through and the vicious character of the measure brought on the most disastrous panic of modern times, so that the Cleveland administration actually had to sell bonds and increase the bonded debt to pay the ordinary running expenses of government, and in all the great cities of the country charitable people were compelled to establish free soup houses, so that the honest men and women who had been thrown out of work by Democratic maladministration wouldn't starve to death. Trust the Democratic party to revise the tariff? Not much!—Rochester Post Express. Easily Encouraged. The New York Evening Post sees hope for free trade in the fact that nothing tangible in the way of tariff reform is to be expected of the Republican party. It says: "The people of the United States have had new light on a good many subjects. They know more about tariffs and their effects than they did. They have learned that high duties not only keep out imports, but keep in what they would like to export—that is, unless they sell below cost. Ten years ago production was not so far ahead of consumption as now, and less attention was excited by this fact. But to-day our greatest aim is to find foreign markets. The Republican platform of 1900 promised to aid in this effort, but promise has not been followed by fulfilment." If anybody has learned that a protective tariff restricts foreign trade by keeping out imports and keeping in exports, unless the latter are sold below cost, he must have learned it from false teachers, for he has learned a lie. Our total foreign trade is nearly double what it was in the latest period of Democratic tariff reform. Our exports are going out at the rate of a billion and a half yearly, and of that great total less than one-fifth, probably not a hundredth part, is sold below cost. To-day "our greatest aim" is not to find foreign markets. Far from it. Our greatest aim is to take the best possible care of a domestic market worth $30,000,000,000 a year, and to find such foreign markets as we can without fooling away the big market at home. To assist in doing more than that the Republican party has never promised. None the less, the Republican party has done for our foreign trade double what the Democratic party ever did. His Candidate. William J. Bryan came to Chicago the other day, professedly in the interest of the Democratic party. He hired a hall that no limitations might be placed upon him in declaration of principles or in expressing preferences for candidates. And yet he made no declarations of principle and made no suggestions as to a candidate. His speech was almost wholly negative. He devoted most of his time to the criticism of the platform adopted by the New York state convention to the Democrats of the nation. In his analysis of the platform he found not a single phrase to commend, not a principle to approve. If Mr. Bryan has any political following, if he is still the leader of the faction that controlled two Democratic national conventions, his speech, was formal notice to the people of the United States that there is an irresponsible conflict and an impending crisis in the Democratic party. Mr. Bryan, judged by his speech in Chicago, is at open war with the wing of the Democratic party under the leadership of Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Hill and Judge Parker. He looks forward to no parley except in the field of his own choosing. He looks forward to no platform that does not include the Kansas City platform. He looks forward to no candidate who cannot stand upon the Kansas City platform. The only question that Mr. Bryan leaves open is as to what candidate he will support. He mentioned none that he could approve. He was emphatic and definite as to the candidates he would oppose. The logic of his speech points to one candidate only—and that is William J. Bryan, the twice defeated, the hopeless.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Judge Parker and His Platform Whether or not the platform adopted by the New York Democrats reflects the sentiment of the country could be determined only by a popular vote, but it is skilfully framed as an appeal to people who are out of sympathy with President Roosevelt. The somewhat vague references to what might be called the "imperialistic" acts of the national administration were wisely put in general terms because they hold out some hope to all within the ranks of the disaffected. At tempts to particularize would have been sure to provoke divisions over questions of time and method which were properly left to the national convention and which it might properly leave to be decided after the election. The Republican state platform had declared that the greatest national issue was the maintenance of prosperity, which it attributed by inference to the protective tariff, and it was silent on the subject of revision. This platform declares for a reasonable revision and pronounces against need les duties on raw materials. One is calculated to satisfy the protective tariff league, the other invites co-operation from all who believe that the time has come for a modification of the Dingley law.—Chicago Record Herald. Cleveland's Position: With the recollection of the disastrous results of the proposition for Democratic reform in 1892 yet fresh in mind, it is not likely that the American people will listen to the voice of the Princeton "siren" as long as he simply insists on tariff reform in general terms. They have had experience with that, and a burnt child dreads the fire. If Mr. Cleveland wishes the people to exalt his party once more on the issue of tariff reform he will have to file a bill of particulars and set forth just what kind of reform in the tariff it is proposed to make. For it is certain that the public wants no other such period of suspense as before, and neither will it he content to have the matter of reformation placed in the hands of a scholastic theorist who knows no more about practical business and its needs than an ordinary perker does of the Christian Sabbath. What is it you propose, Mr. Cleveland? Is it free trade, is it tariff for revenue only or is it modified protection? Or is it, as before, a nondescript muddling of all three?—Peoria Herald. A. Contrast. It is admitted that 1894 was the best Democratic year in foreign and general trade, and no one will dispute the fact that 1903 was not the best Republican year. Now, compare the outflow of gold in April, May and June of each of those years: April.

Constant weariness, headaches, dizzy spells, days of pain, nights of unrest are danger signals warning you to cure the kidneys. Use Doan's Heed Nature's warnings! Pain tells of lurking disease. Backache is kidney pain—a warning of kidney lills. Urinary troubles, too, come to tell you the kidneys are sick. Constant weariness, headaches, dizzy spells, days of pain, nights of unrest are danger signals warning you to cure the kidneys. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, which have made thousands of permanent cures. Frank D. Overbaugh, cattle buyer and farmer, Catskill, N. Y., says: "Doctors told me ten years ago that I had Bright's Disease, and said they could do nothing to save me. My back ached so I could not stand it to even drive about, and passages of the kidney secretions were so frequent as to annoy me greatly. I was growing worse all the time, but Doan's Kidney Pills cured me, and I have been well ever since." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Overbaugh will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

An American physician has discovered that the blues are only a form of splanchnic nourasthenia due to intraabdominal venous congestion. Now if that doesn't make a patient with the blues bluer than he was before he could be jolly with hyperpryxia, or with metaplasia of the epithelium. Why Is a Hound? The spandel is so called because the original breed came from Spain, and the first arrivals in England were called Spanish dogs.

Women of Siam There are no old maids in Slam, for there all the grils marry, and woman is not considered to have attained her highest estate till she has become a mother. Then she has reached the pinnacle of honor. The chief wife is the first wife and she may not be sold, but if her husband desire to be rid of her he must divorce her according to the law. Poor Return for Chivalry. A London man gave up his seat in a tramcar to a woman. While he was basking in the sunshine of self-apposition along came a constable and placed him under arrest on the charge of alding and abetting the conductor to overcrowd the car. He was fined 3s. and bade to go away and sin no more. Worshipped the Camel For sixteen centuries the inhabitants of Beziers, in south France, have held the camel sacred, for in 250 A. D. St. Aphrodise, mounted on one of these animals, evangelized the city. In their museum they preserve a curious papier-mache effigy of a camel. Half Time in Bed. Mount Hor, Ky., May 9th... The records of medicine in this state do not contain a more interesting and instructive case than that of Mrs. Little Jacobs of Mount Hor, Mrs. Jacobs tells the particulars of her case as follows: "For six years I had to keep to my bed half the time. When I did get up I was not able to walk across the house without just gasping for breath. I had kidney trouble in the worst form, in fact, I was a total wreck. I pained me fearfully to urinate and my back acheed all the time. "Now I am well for Dodd's Kidney Pills have entirely cured me. I saw an advertisement of this remedy and bought one box. I experienced so much benefit from this that I kept on till I was cured completely." "I can do my own housework and can walk around as well as ever with perfect ease and strength. Just now I am helping to make garden. I feel like a new woman and I owe it all to Dodd's Kidney Pills." "Don't lookoy at me," said a man to a woman recently; "I am too old to enjoy it."

IN KANSAS CITY, The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. EDITOR'S STAND DEFINED An item of correspondence which commented upon a meeting held at the residence of Mrs. Jordon in the interest of fallen girls was sent or brought to the office of the Son several weeks ago. The item found its way to the press room unobserved by the editor, whose attention was absorbed in other matters. No names were mentioned in the item, but by inference, individuals were involved who took exceptions. The fact that the meeting was held at the residence of Mrs. Jordon casts no reflection upon her or her daughters, who are in every way estimable ladies. The editor wishes to express an apology upon the grounds that the item was passed to the press without coming under his notice and he hopes that this will satisfy all concerned. Parents should pay more attention to their children. They should visit the schools oftener and become better acquainted with those who instruct their children. They should know more about what is expected of their children. A few visits to the schools will open their eyes as to some of the hardships the teachers have to endure and give them an insight into the shortcomings of their own children. So few persons visit the colored schools of this city that when one does drop in the children are frightened out of their wits and sit speechless. Education should give a person self-possession and the power to express himself clearly. One who all but faints at the sound of his own voice is to be pitied. Yes, parents, look after your children more. The Republicans again are in power at the City Hall and again the Negro voters are in receipt of recognition and patronage at their hands. When the Democrats were in charge, not a black fact was ever seen in the hall, except possibly a tax payer. Of course every Negro who wants a job cannot be accommodated, because there are not enough to go around. But the pie is going to many Negroes at this time who were not in a position to get a piece a while back. Mayor Neff and the Republican administration are indeed to be commended for the recognition which they are giving the Negro voters. Sparkling Wines. At first sparkling wines were only made in the French province of Champagne. In the early part of the nineteenth century the first experiments to manufacture sparkling wines were made in Germany. The wines, however, grown in Champagne are best suited for this purpose, hence most of the German firms manufacturing champagnes obtain their wines from Champagne and mix them with German wines. Abyssinian Chief Wore Wig. Emin Pasha, in his memoirs, relates that one of the greatest glories of an Abyssinian chief he knew was a George II. wig, which adorned the chief's head on very special occasions. How he came by it was a mystery, even to Emin Pasha himself. This headpiece bore the name of a London maker. The reach of a searchlight for practical use is 700 yards, but torpedoes can be used effectively from 1,200 to 4,000 yards. M. B. Sword Grips of Shark Leather. The sword grips of the officers of the German army are made from shark leather, too. They are beautiful in pattern, being marked with dark diamond shaped figures. This skin comes from a North Sea shark known as the diamond shark. Cheaper Than Horses. The following is the record of a gasoline tractor used in England for drawing agricultural machines: Six acres of grass cut in three hours and forty minutes, using five and a half gallons of gasoline; three acres of grass cut in one hour and thirty-five minutes, using three gallons of gasoline; two and one-tenth acres of land, with hard surface, plowed to an average depth of seven inches, in five hours and fifty minutes, using a double furrow plow, and consuming seven and three fourths gallons of gasoline; nineteen acres of wheat harvested in ten hours, using eight and one-half gallons of gasoline. The cost of the machine is said to be $1,500. THE GREAT SOUHERN HAIR POMADE. THE GREAT HAIR GROWER AND STRAIGHTENER. GOOD AGENTS WANTED.

Brown desires to thank those friends who so nobly aided her by their efforts and influence in the quilt contest, thus enabling her to win. Richard Fullbright is very sick yet. SEOUL A PICTURESQUE CITY. Sights in the Korean Capital of Interest to Westerners. Seoul is a picture place. Most of the houses are one story in height and are built in a style unfamiliar to Occidental eyes. The more wealthy residents usually build with very heavy timbers, and the greater part of the walls is of clay and mud. The roofs are often steep and picturesque. They are built over a lattice work filled in with clay and dirt. Clay tiles are laid over the roof. Poorer residents have houses resembling those of the rich, except that the timbers are lighter and the roofs are thatched with rice straw instead of clay tiles. Photography is an art which interests thousands of Koreans. Over ten years, ago photographers were well patronized in even the smaller cities of the peninsula. In the larger towns the photographers were well advanced in their line. NOT ALL A MISFORTUNE. Colored Man Lost His Leg but Settled Long-Standing Argument. Visitor (to one-legged darky)—Did you lose your leg in the war uncle? you use jose no lag in the war uncle. Darky—No, sah. I done lose dat laig in the Baptis' cause, sah. I war ministerin' down in Carilyn, and tuk a sinner down inter re ribber ter 'neshlate 'im inter de chuch, an' 'stracted dat laig from the remains er my pusson. "Indeed! That was a sad misfortune." "I was in dat erpinion myself at de time, sah; but dar wuz one good 'zuit comin' fom de same. Hit settled a 'pint dat my wife an' me had differed 'bout fo' some time. She allers 'lowed dere warnt nuffin in de round worl dat I war good fo'; but after dat she war bleedge' to own up dat I wuz mighty good fish bait!" A Curious Emerald. An emerald of curiously interesting associations has recently been sold in Berlin. It originally belonged to Nicholas I. of Russia, and was by him presented to the famous explorer, Humboldt. The jewel is four inches in length, and is cut on four sides, the remainder of the gem being left in the rough. The setting, which is extremely artistic, is composed of silver, to represent rock, round which are several little gnomes busily hewing the rock with their axes. The emerald with its silver setting, rests on a pedestal of ebony and silver, of which the workmanship is equally artistic. The Convict. To think of the old free days, Under the glad, blue sky. And the sunlit sunlight That slipped unheeded by; While I, like blinded but or mole, Where I was now—oh, God for one hour to lie Where the blessed sunbeams fall. brooks. But most of all I dream of upwelling, glorious sunlight. So warm and pleasant there. While not one ray to cheer and bless. Slants down through this noisome air. I dream of the heavenly warmth, The light and life and cheer, And curse the evil in my soul, The sin that brought me here. And if God in his infinite love Shall blot the wrong I've done, I'll be thrown down above, To rever 'nth the blessed sun. -Irene Pomeroy Shields, Monroe Center, Mich. Borrowers. The habit of borrowing is something that grows on people the same as warts, says the Bowling Green (O.) Free Press. It generally commences to borrow a fancy comb for circus day and a tooth brush to put in a conspicuous place on the clock shelf because they are going to have company. Then they borrow tobacco, cow feed, salt pork and soup bone. Then they borrow a couple of quarters so that they can't see the people grin. The last seen of them they are clambering along to where the sheep and goat get divided, trying to borrow a reputation and a palm leaf fan. All Have Six Fingers and Toes. In the south of Arabia, among the tribes of the Hyamites, has existed for several centuries a patriarchal dynasty, the family of the Foldi, highly reverenced by the Arabs, because in that family all the children have six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. Those of them that happened to be born without this peculiarity are considered as of another tribe, and are immediately put to death. The family of the Foldi is very numerous, and its members intermarry only among themselves. The Honors at College. It is a good thing for the young men who go to college that the "smartness" of dissipation is minimized and the laurels go to those who win athletic or intellectual distinction. perhaps the honors are not fairly distributed. The applause should go more frequently to the winner of intellectual distinction than it does and there should be perhaps less for the man of brawn, but the moral effect of athletics is good and that is something—Minneapolis Times. A New Industrial Economy A locomotive engineer on an Eastern railroad said one day to his two firemen: "Suppose you fellows work as if you, and not the company, were paying the coal bills." During six months, merely by careful firing, the men caused a saving in coal, over the average consumption of the engine, equal to almost four times the amount of wages paid the men for that period. The engine was the same; the men worked differently.—The World's Work. 4 East 12th St. iPhone 780 Grand. Carringas Furnished for All Occasions. KANSAS CITY, MO A.

The many men and women, endowed by nature with urinary and rebellious heads of hair, have found ordinary combing unproductive of results. It is comparatively an easy matter to curl straight hair but almost an impossibility to straighten curly hair. The Magic Hair Straightener quickly, effectively and satisfactorily brings under subjection the most uncontrollable head of hair or beard. It's use a few minutes daily, following instructions, will straighten the hair where hours of combing will not. It will save the loss of hair that excessive combing good uses. It is positively the only device that will accomplish such results. The use of the Straightener affer the shampoo, will dry the hair qui ker and better than the many methods or ordinarily employed, and les en very decidedly the risk of catching cold. The Straightener consists of a steel bar with a handle of comfortable grip. The bar is heated to an ordinary heat by means of gas, lamp or common stove; the comb then attached parallel to it, by an ingenious arrangement, and is then ready for use. The teeth of the comb can be regulated to suit the requirements of the user. The full length of the teeth is best adapted for women's use and straightens a heavy head of hair as fast as combed. The teeth shortened is preferable for men's hair and beard. It will be found an indispensable article of toilet by all who take pride in their personal appearance. It has the endorsements of physicians, price $1.25 407 Century Building.

One would think this very easy in this land where courts aro established everywhere and are in constant session, where every store has its scales and where the yardstick 13 on every counter, where the Ten Commandments are written on every memory. But here we are to be re- minded that for every act of justice or injustice on earth there is a court in session up above before which it must come for final Judgment; that every article weighed by human hand must go upon the divine scale, which never errs, and that for every inter- pretation of the Ten Commandments there is an eternal and unchangeable standard in the hand of God. Love mercy. It is said that there are violins in which the harmony of parts, the construction, the vibratory power are so perfect that it is the very nature of the instrumest to give out harmony, ‘This is an illustration of what God wishes us all to be in re lation to himself. To love mercy is to live it until the whole nature is an ex- pression of this beautiful attribute of Goi, Merey must enter into life and fill every part of one’s nature. No one can appreciate life fully until he has learned this, No one can appreciate the blessings and the power of man: hood until he has learned what untold sacrifices his parents have made for him. No one will realize how good God ts until he has learned through this divine attribute how patient and how long suffering the Almighty has been with us through the infinite sac- rigce of his Son. This is the power of the enduring life, to love that which beautifies character and conduct until by the very force of this divine attri: bute you are more than hero, or saint, or worldly conqueror. “He hath showed thee, O man, what 1s good"— to love mercy. Walk humbly with thy God. Who can walk otherwise with the Almigh- ‘ty, the One who {s Infinite, eternal and unchangeable, the creator of all things? We walked one day in the Alps Thousands of feet high did those glants of the world lift themselves to ward the sky as though to scorn the Uttle things of creation, The trees of mammoth size far up the mountain side looked like tufts of grass, and the streams of water flung themselves forth in silver ribbons, changing tc spray in their rapid descent as they hurried toward the valley.

We have in this psalm one of the loving expressions of the dying saint, who, having had such experience of God's goodness to him all his days, 1s ready to trust him when he comes down to death, We have here immt- nent danger supposed. “Though 1 walk through the valley of the shadow of death"; that Is, though I face death or stand in the midst of great danger, deep as @ valley, “or though I look upon myself as a dying man, yet I will not fear.” Those who are weil In years or those who are sick have reas- ‘on to look upon themselves as in the valley of the shadow of death, Death {s one word which sounds terrible; and we must all count on it, There {s no discharge from it. But, though tt is for the cutting off of the wicked, It is but the shadow of death for the be- liever, ‘There 1s no evil in it what: ever. The shadow of a serpent will not sting, neither will the shadow of the sword kill. It is the valley of the shadow and it may be yery dark and deep; but as the valleys are fruitful, so is death fruitful to the people of Gou, Sie aks: Pancha: All through the Bible are passages which show that love is a health tonic and actually lengthens fe. “With long life will I satisty him,” says the psalmist, “because he hath set his love upon me.” Love is har- ‘mony and harmony prolongs life, as fear, jealousy, envy, friction and dis- cord shorten it. There is no doubt that those who are filled with the spirit of love, which is the Christ spirit, whose sympathies pene tenderness are not confined to their immediate relatives and friends, but reach out to every member of the human family, live longer and are more exempt from the {lls of mankind than the selfish and pessimistic, who, centered in themselves, lose their better part of life, the joy and the strength that come from giving them selves to others. The power of love {s often illustrat- ed in a delicate mother who walks the floor, night after night, whose days pass without recreation or change, week in and week out, and who feels more than compensated if she can only procure relief for her suffering little one, In no other way than through the marvelous power of love can we ac- count for the wonderful miracles of endurance presented by many moth- ers in bringing up large families. Think of a mother carrying about, perhaps, for the greater part of a day and the night following, the same weight, in merchandise or other mat- ter as that of a sick child! She could not stand the strain. She would be ill in a short time. But love lightens her load and makes self sacrifice a pleas- ure, This sublimely unselfish mother- love is a prototype of the most exalt- ed creative love that enraptures the universe that invites us to be partak- ers and dispensers of this world tonic, this great panacea for all the ills of mankind. The Struggle With Sin. Nothing is so discouraging as the struggle with a well-loved, well-hated sin, You love it so much that you cannot let it go. You hate it so much that every yielding to it is instant and long-continued torture. You are bat. fled again and again, Your fiercest determinations are snapped like cotr webs. Your impassioned prayers seem echoed back from a stony hea: ven. Like Paul, you ery in your agony, “Who will deliver me from the dead body of this sin?” And yet, if you are a Christian, no struggle on earth 1s so hopeful as such a strug. gle. Consider: you have not acqut esced In the sin, have you? You are earnestly ashamed of it, are you not? You do not trust in your own strength to conquer it, do you (no longer, sure ly!)? You do trust in Christ's strength, do you not? Then you have no reason to despond, Then you have no right to give up. ‘Trust God. Providence has a thousand keys to open a thousand doors for the deliver: ance of his own when it has come to the greatest extremity, Let us be faithful and care for our own part, which is to do and suffer for him, and lay Christ's part on himself and leave it there, Duties are ours; events are the Lord's, When our faith goeth to meddle with events and to hold a court, if T may so speak, upon God's providence and beginning to say, “How wilt thou do this or that?” we lose ground. We have nothing to do there, It is our part to let the Al mighty exereise his own office and steer his own helm.—Samuel Ruther. ford. A Word of Encouragement.

Miss M. Cartledge gives some helpful advice to young girls. Her letter is but one of thousands which prove that nothing is so helpful to young girls who are just arriving at the period of womanhood as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:—I cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkam's Vegetable Compound too highly, for it is the only medicine I ever tried which cured me. I suffered much from my first menstrual period, I felt so weak and dizzy at times I could not pursue my studies with the usual interest. My thoughts became sluggish, I had headaches, backaches and sinking spells, also pains in the back and lower limbs. In fact, I was sick all over. "Finally, after many other remedies had been tried, we were advised to get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am pleased to say that after taking it only two weeks, a wonderful change for the better took place, and in a short time I was in perfect health. I felt buoyant, full of life, and found all work a pastime. I am indeed glad to tell my experience with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, for it made a different girl of me. Yours very truly, Miss M. CARTLEDGE, 533 Whitehall St., Atlanta, Ga." At such a time, the grandest aid to nature is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

PINKHAM: — I write to you because I believe all young girls ought to know how much good your medicine will do them. I did dress-making for years before I was married, and if it had not been for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I do not believe I could have stood the strain. There is no other work that is such a strain on the system. Oh, how my back used to ache from the bending over! I would feel as though I would have to scream out from the pain, and the sitting still made me so terribly tired and weak, and my head throbbed like an engine. I never could eat after work, I was so worn out. Then I was irregular, and had such frightful cramps every month they would simply double me up with pain, and I would have to give up working and lie down. But Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound changed me into a strong, well woman. Yourms very truly, Mrs. MARTHA ESTES, 513 West 123th St., N. Y. City."

Jameson said in the British parliament that the sudden resort to khaki uniforms was a "senseless craze." Because the Boers wore khaki and slouch hats the whole army was clapped into similar costume. If the Zulus had beaten it, the army would have gone about in feathers and paint. Three streaks of paint and an ostrich feather would have been the uniform of a field marshal. When It Was Cold. People who are interested in extremes may like to know that the lowest temperature ever recorded in the world was 90 4-10 below zero, at Werechjanke, Central Siberia, Jan. 15, 1855, and the highest, 127 4-10, in Algeria, July 17, 1879. The lowest temperature ever recorded in New York city was 6 below zero. Life a Beauty. Life is a reality—a useful, usable, noble reality. Happy, too, when once the grim idol Self has been dethroned forever. For it is a truth which we all have to learn—oftentimes through many a bitter lesson—that we can never be happy unless we cease trying to make ourselves so.

Society Is No Longer Content With Plain Covers. If one of the fishermen who early accepted the Christian faith and be came one of the twelve Apostles could come back to earth he would never guess that the elaborate prayer books so often seen nowadays were the manual of his lowly Master's teachings. Possibly the fad for using such costly prayer books became prevalent because of the expensive ones which were made for brides to carry in place of the conventional bouquet. At any rate, the plain leather book is out of date and seldom seen. Those of chased or etched silver or carved ivory are the quiet ones for elderly ladies. Others are much more gorgeous. The covers are of curiously wrought gold, set with precious or semi-precious stones. One of the favorite designs shows the Annunciation, with the halo of the angel made of small diamonds and with lilies or the stalks of which are pearls. Your dress may be as soft and quiet in tone as a "dim religious light," but fashion decrees that the one spot of grandeur and gorgeousness, the high note of your church costume should be the cover of your prayer book. CHILD ACTORS OF JAPAN. intelligent Little Ones Who Work Hard to Amuse. At one of the principal theaters of Tokio the plays are played entirely by children who are all, we are sure perfectly well-fitted for their arduous roles. All these little people are between the ages of eight and thirteen and they go through their parts, often of the most tragic character, with an intelligence and precision which is quite marvelous. A great deal of the public dancing is done by children, also, at a very tender age, are compelled to go through a most severe training, including the per formances of gymnastics, for acquiring suppleness and agility, whilst their little fingers have to be artificially hardened to enable them to play the tambourine. They are allowed but little sleep, and have early to get accustomed to extremes of temperature. Indeed, the lot of the Japanese child actor is not altogether an enviable one, it is to be feared. NEW YORK'S FIRST SCHOOL. Looks Primitive Beside Present Day Palatial Structures At the junction of Tryon row and Chambers street, a locality long ago swept away by the changing conformation of the city, there used to stand a little two-story building with a gable roof fronting on the row. It was the first public schoolhouse New York ever had and from it have developed the magnificent structures in which seven-eighths of young New Yorkers are now educated. A picture of the old building is here presented. In February next New York's public school system will celebrate its one hundredth birthday, and there is to be a great time over the fact.—New York Sun. Thick Skinned Animals The whale may claim to have a skin thicker than any other animal. It has a skin nowhere less than several inches in thickness. The distinction of being the thickest skinned quadruped belongs to the Indian rhinoceros, whose hide has a knotty or granulated surface, and is so impenetrable as to resist the claws of the lion or tiger, and the sword or bullet from old fashioned smooth-bore muskets. So stiff and hard is this skin that were it not divided by creases or folds the animal imprisoned in its armor could scarcely move. The skin of the hippopotamus runs that of the rhinoceros very closely as regards thickness. Carried on Locomotive Guard An extraordinary story comes from Northamptonshire. While working on the Midland railway, near Irchester station, a short time ago, Ernest Bellamy, of Kempston, was knocked down by a train. In falling he clutched at the lifeguard in front of the engine, clung desperately to it, and was carried about a quarter of a mile before his screams attracted the attention of the driver, who stopped the train. On being released from his perilous position Bellamy collapsed through fright and was removed to a hospital, where he speedily recovered from the shock. Ox Has Wonderful Escape. An ox owned by Alonzo Holmes strayed onto the railroad track in front of a train near Citypoint, Me. The animal was thrown more than fifteen feet away from the engine, but strange to relate, escaped with two broken ribs, and a general shaking up.

"PE-RU-NA, A VALUABLE PREPARATION," WRITES DR. KEMBALL. RACHAEL KEMBALL, M.D. 334 Virginia R. Buffalo, N.Y. Most of the Ailments Peculiar to the Female Sex are Due to Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs. Rachael J. Kemball, M. D., 834 Virginia St., Buffalo, N. Y., is a graduate of the University of Buffalo, class 1884, and has been in the practice of medicine in that city since then. She writes as follows: "My conviction, supported by experience, is that Peruna is a valuable preparation for all catarrhal affections. I have taken one bottle of Peruna myself and just feel fine. I shall continue to take it."—Rachael J. Kemball, M. D. --- Perma has cured thousands of cases of female weakness. As a rule, however, before Perma is resorted to several other remedies have been tried in vain. A great many of the patients have taken local treatment, submitted themselves to surgical operations, and taken all sorts of doctor's stuff, without any result. The reason of so many failures is the fact that diseases peculiar to the female sex are not commonly recognized as being caused by catarrh. These organs are lined by mucous membranes. Any mucous membrane is subject to catarrh. Catarrh of one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs. Perma cures these cases simply because it cures the catarrh. Most of the women afflicted with pel- Q knows how important it is to use a good starch. Defiance Starch is the best starch made. It doesn't stick to the iron. It gives a beautiful soft glossy stiffness to the clothes. It will not blister or crack the goods. It sells for less, goes farther, does more. Ask the lady who irons. Defiance Starch at all grocers. 16 oz. for 10 cents. A woman is sitting in bed, looking up at a woman standing behind her, who is holding a bottle of water. vic diseases have no idea that their trouble is due to catarrh. The majority of the people think that catarrh is a disease confined to the head alone. This is not true. Catarrh is liable to attack any organ of the body; throat, bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kidneys and especially the pelvic organs. Many a woman has made this discovery after a long siege of useless treatment. She has made the discovery that her disease is catarrh, and that Peruma can be relied upon to cure catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruma, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
