PERUNA
Cramps In the 8 tomaeh of Six
Standing.
' Ml was troubled with cramps In tht
stomach for six years. I tried many
kinds of medicine, also was treated
by three doctors.
They said that I had nervous dys
pepsia. I took the medicine for two
years, then I got sick again and, gave
Op all hopes of getting cured.
'l saw a testimonial of a man whose
case Was similar to mine, being cured
by Peruna, so thought I would give it
a trial. I procured a bottle at once,
and commenced taking It.
'l have taken nineteen bottles, and
0 am entirely cured. I believe Peruna

MOUNTAIN LION KILLS A BOY.
A mountain lion crunching the
body of her two-year-old boy was
the sight that greeted Mrs. Chris
Brown when she entered the family
tent, four miles from the Hotel
Delmar, Balboa, Cal., after a short
walk. The mother, in despair,
rushed screaming at the slayer of her
child. The lion growled savagely and
backed slowly out of the rear of the
tent and disappeared. The lion had
partly dismembered the child. The
Brown family arrived from Delaware
two weeks before.
READY FIB FOILS A ROBBER.
"Throw up your hands!"
This was the command, backed up
by a revolver in the hands of a big
negro robber, which greeted Albert S.
Bier field, when he was within a few
doors of his home, No. 5215 Prairie
avenue, Chicago. The highwayman
had jumped from an alley and sud
denly confronted his intended victim.
"Now, my hands are up," said Mr.
Bierfleld, when he had complied with
the demand. "Take my watch and
money, but please don't strike me.
I have the smallpox and you might
injure me. I'm on my way to the
pesthouse now."
The negro looked at his victim a
moment, muttered something about
two of his friends having died with
the smallpox, and then dashed down
the alley and disappeared. As a re
sult Mr. Bierfleld, who is connected
with the Charles Klein Company, No.
4606 State street, saved $100 and a
valuable watch. A
EAGLE ATTACKS A CHILD.
Josiah Olmtree, a farmer residing
on the edge of the Adirondacks in
the town of Pitcairn, N. Y., barely
-saved ius five-year-old daughter from
being carried off by an eagle on a
recent afternoon. Olmtree for sev
eral days had noticed a big eagle in
the vicinity of his home, and each
evening as he fed his flock of sheep
the bird would swoop clown among
the animals and gorge itself on the
food prepared for the herd. Several
times he tried to get a shot at the
bird, but without avail.
During the afternoon his little girl
was about the barnyard when sudden
ly the father was attracted by her
screams. Hastening from the barn
Olmtree was horrified to see her in
the clutches of the bird. The out
cries of both the parent and child
evidently frightened the eagle and it
dropped the child unhurt on the roof
of a building near the barn. Quickly
getting his gun the father took a
chanec shot, but outside of the loss of
a few feathers the bird flew away
uninjured.
ENGLAND'S LAST SWORD DUEL.
It is said that Major Salusbury,
whose dead body was found the other
day near St. Asaph, was a principal
in the last duel that was! fought with
swords in England. He was a de
bater at Coger's Hall, and on one oc
casion he was "insulted" by another
speaker named Harrison, v.-ho offered
to give Salisbury satisfaction in the '
old English stylo in Gough Square. ?
Salusbury insisted on having it out I
with swords. The pair and an Irish-'
man named Borne (who volunteered1
to act as second for both parties) re
tired to Salisbury's flat in Chancery
lane. Salusbury took down two
sabres from the wall and he and Har
rlscn fought It out, the result being
that Salu.b :v:y ;t a expound frac
ture of the tliigh through "falling over
the furniture. Salusbury had been
out to the Cor.go Free State, but
whether anybody else than himself
gave him the rank of Major is doubt
ful. He was mora than affair speak
er. He seemed to believe in himself,
and casual visitors to Coger's Hall
believed in hini until the "duel,"
when his sun set for good. Tit-Bits.
FIRST SIGHT OF A GLACIER.
"Late one June evening, after a
killing day, we stumbled up through
a gorge where all the waters of the
Copper River are confined," relates
Rex Beach, in "The Chronicles of a
Chromatic Bear Hunt," in Every
body's. "It is a roaring place, for the
waves lift themselves head high, and
the ice scuds by with the speed of
wild horses. An Arctic twilight as
over all, that diffusive radiance
through Which the sight travels so
far, when we finally rounded a band
into an eddy, where we paused to
breathe and to observe that Thing
which loomed suddenly before us.
"I hope never to, lose the memory
of that first impression. There was
Child's Glacier at last, with" the rav
enous river gnawing at it. a towerinir
j Wall of solid ice, serrated and seamed,
ine aeaa grayness of infinite age upon
its face. And so close! We fairly
felt its presence before we sensed the
chill breath which swept down from
it. There" were no intervening miles
to rob it of its grandeur; its very
proximity was terrifying, it was so
strange, so unknown, so lifeless and
yet so menacing.
"We heard ourselves exclaimin.
L but our spoken words were a profana-
Pit 1 .
uon in sucu a presence.
"A great berg, an acre in extent,
came swiftly toward us, the saffron
waters licking at its sides. It was -as
blue as a summer sky, and it came as
if gliding on steep, well-oiled skids.
When abreast of us it 'halted, thpn
lifted itself up, up, up, till it towered
like a ship in dry dock, while the
yellow flood roared savagely at the
delay. There came a dull rumbling
and grinding much like the sound of
a heavy train in a tunnel, s its own
momentum and the resistless force of
the river drove it higher and higher
upon the detaining bar. It shud
dered, swung slowly, then commenced
to roll before the current like thistle
down in a draft. The sound ceased,
.the mass dived suddenly from view,
then reappeared slowly, shook off the
surging waters, and was away again
faster and faster, silent as a ghost,
vanishing around the bluff below us."
AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY.
In 1898 Captain Otto Sverdrup
went up Smith Sound in his old ship,
the Fram, in an endeavorf to sail
around the north coast of Greenland
from west to east. Mr. W. J. Strong,
in "Round About the North Pole."
quotes some of the explorer's adven
tures from his own stdry. One of
these is the pursuit and capture of a
bear, which they discovered on a lit
tle plateau high up on a mountain
crag. The little ledge was reached
by a bridge not more than a good
yard in width.
His majesty was not visible to Schei
until he came within a few feet of
him, but then it was not long before
a shot was heard. The bear sank
together, and in a few seconds after
wards all the dogs had thrown them
selves upon it.
They tugged and pulled at the
bear's coat, tearing tufts of hair out
of it, and before we knew what they
were doing, had dragged the body to
the edge of the plateau, where it shot
out over the precipice.
The dogs stood amazed, gazing
down Into the depths where the bear
was falling swiftly through the air,
but not alone, for on it were two dogs
which had clung so fast to its hair
they now stood planted head to head,
and bit themselves still faster to it
in order to keep their balance.
I was breathless as I' watched this
unexpected journey through the in
The bear's body dashed violently
against the rock, turned a somer
sault out from the mountain" wall,
and fell still farther, until, after fall
ing a height of altogether at least
a hundred feet, it reached the slopes
by the river, and was shot by the im
petus right across tffe river ice and a
good way up the other side.
And the dogs? When the bear
dashed against the mountain they
sprang up like rubber balls, described
a large curve, and with stiffened legs
continued the journey on their own
account, falling with a loud thud on
to the hardly packed snow at the bot
tom rjf the valley. But they were on
their legs in a moment, and set off ay
fast as they could go.
TWO BRAVE WOMEN.
Two women, fightinz fire within
sis feet of a shed containing several
bars of dynamite, held residents of
South Broadway spellbound late
Thursday. After ' vainly beseeching '
the women to desist a crowd of more
than 100 waited in silence several
hundred yards distant, while Miss
Marie Louise Walsh, seventeen years
old, of 7918 Pennsylvania avenue
and Mrs. William Bedford, 4829
South Broadway, fought a hard and
well nigh hopeless battle against a
blase in the Bedford-Allen quarry in
the rear of Mrs. Bedford's home on
the river bluffs.
Some tramps from the river bank
had left the embers of a fire near the
dry weeds which have overgrown part
of the quarry. A neighbor, rushing
to the Bedford home, told Mrs. Bed
ford of the fire. From her window
Mrs. Bedford realized at once its
proximity to the dynamite storehouse.
She called to her niece, Miss
Walsh, to follow her, and each
grabbed a blanket and ran down the
circuitous path to the quarry and the
dy-a3ite. Though a crowd soon
gathered, none ventured beyond the
brink of the quarry entrance.
Just as the flames seemed to have
been effectively checked the blankets
used by the heroic fire fighters ig
nited and added fuel to the flames.
"Come back!" shouted the crowd.
But Mrs. Bedford and Miss Walsh
seemed to hear nothing but the
crackling of the burning bushes.
Each tore a paling from an old fence
and resumed the work. The new
weapon added danger, for it threw
showers of sparks into the air, which
circled high above the frame "dyna
mite house.
Burning leaves could be seen to
light upon ft. There- were holes in
the side of the house, and no one
could tell when one stray spark might
cause a terrific explosion. And no
one knew better than Miss Walsh
and Mrs. Bedford.
Almost exhausted it seemed as il
they must give up. The flames would
almost reach the side of the dyna
mite shed, when by combined efforts
the women would master them, only
to see the lire encroach upon them
from another side.
Still the crowd withheld its cheers,
until suddenly the clattering of
horses' hoofs was heard to break the
appalling stillness. Not till the hose
cart was in the midst of the crowd
and the firemen, already had run
down the Steep hill, dragging hose
behind them, did a shout go up from
the crowd. Then cheer after cheei
rang out.
Faint from her work and the ner
vous strain, Mrs. Bedford was assist
ed to the top of the hill by a fireman ,
Neither of the women fainted, but
they were hastened to the Bedforc
home, where it was found their hands
were blistered." In the excitemehl
they had not noticed this.
AlmostipOO feet of hose was rur
from Bifa3way to the fire, and tht
firemen fought it for fifteen minutes
before extinguishing it. When ths
fire was out Captain George Frey, 61
Engine Company 14, personally ex
tended his congratulations to Misi
Walsh and Mrs. Bedford. Pittsburi

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr. Taft
would use an automobile, instead of
carriages, during his term as Presi
dent, much rivalry developed among
the leading manufacturers for the
honor of selling him a car, and the
Rublic watched with interest to see
what Mr. Taft's choice would be. The
knowing ones predicted that the White
Steamer would be selected, and they
pointed out that President Roosevelt
had used Whfte Steamers for two
years at his summer home at Oyster
! Bay, and had recommended this make
to Mr. Taft as the most desirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr. Taft did not rely solely
: on Mr. Roosevelt's recommendation,
j but with his usual thoroughness, de
termined to have an investigation
made of all the principal makes. Ac
cordingly, he asked several officers of
the War Department to look into the
! matter for him, and they tested many
i makes of cars, visited a number of
factories, so that they might see what
materials were used, and, finally, they
j investigated the records of the differ
ent types of cars in public contests
and in private service.
When their labors were completed.

Taft's White Steamer
PRESIDENT TAFT AND HIS FAMILY IN THEIR
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr. Taft in favor of the White, and
accordingly a car of this make was
immediately ordered from the manu
facturers, The White Company, of
Cleveland.
The new car was delivered to Mr.
Taft in Washington a few days be
fore his inauguration, and since that
time it has been in almost constant
use. There has not been a day when
the President or some members of his
family have not been seen riding
around the National Car-tal in the
new car. It is hinted that Mr. Taft
likes fast traveling, and that when he
rides out into the open country, he
does not always insist that the speed
of the car be kept within the legal
limits.
E. W. Gana, manager of the
southern branch of the White Com
pany, 126 Marietta street, Atlanta,
Ga., said recently to a corre
spondent of this paper: "We are re
ceiving many inquiries each day ask

other words, I point out that they can
secure an. exact duplicate of Mr. Taft's
car for $4000, or a car of the same
qualities, but of smaller dimensions,
for only $2000. Judging by the de
