Supplementary reading should present such styles of reading as will cultivate a love for the elevating In literature, for the tastes cultivated during school life will govern and influence us in more mature years. Miss Osborne, In speaking of "Penmanship," ebvo many useful points and good suggestions. In part she said: "One great aim of the teacher should bo to show how easily one letter may be formed from another, how closely the letters of our alphabet are related.

Better Halves Can Be Purchased or Traded in the Klondike. From tho Philadelphia Times. Startling reports regarding the ex tent of the wife-selling traffic of the Klondike country is the sensation of Vancouver. That a man can get a buxom, dark-eyed wife for fifty blank ets would seem a sort of fairy story wero not the facts so serious. Robert Stead Dun, a graduate of Harvard, and formerly editor of the Hnrvard Monthly, has Just returned to civilization after a 1,500-mile trip by the Edmonton overland trail to the londike. It was here at Fort Graham that Mr. Dun discovered the polygamous condi tion of society and the widespread trafficking In young women. He found that nearly all the clerks nnd employes had no difficulty in buying wives. And they bought them. Sparkling Eyes, a noted Indian belle and the daughter of a prominent chief, was considered tho prize of the north west. From far nnd nenr came offers for her hand. Ponies, guns, trinkets, brass watches, yards of tinfoil and bales of copper wire were offered for a quit claim deed to the maiden's heart. But the grim old warrior was not to be caught by any ordinary purchaser. Ho wanted something besides personal property. He wns ambitious for a fam ily alliance with some man of social standing and influence in the comnmn Ity. Thus it wns that when Factor Fox, a big medicine man, a superintendent of white faced employes, made over tures, with due ceremony und elabor ate array of technicalities, involving the highest etiquette of the land, tho copper-colored chieftain Immediately became an eager party to the negotia tions. Then Factor Fox took the gill to his cabin, decked her out in beads and gorgeous trappings, with yellow hand kerchief for her head, purple scarfs for her neck, resplendent binss rings for her ears and fingers and a neck of flashy big-headed pins for other fea tures of her adornment, Sho modestly appreciated her exalt ed position In the new life, nnd al though she did not seek to ostenta tiously aueeu It over the employes of the factory, yet sho has an nlr of au thority and self-possession that won her the respect of the boys of the ret tlcinent. The old Indian chief must have pick ed up some new nolnts from I ho whites. i4MJ!feffli ! fiTriliriiiigritoitt MAYOR President of the National Association of Mayors. SPEAKSOFPE-RU-NASGREATWORK Other Prominent Americans Recite Their Experience. CATARRH A NATIONAL BLIGHT. Pe-ru-na the Universal Catarrh Ramedy HON. SAMUEL L BLACK, MAYOR OP COLUMBUS, OHIO. Exhcutivk Department, -i City or Columbus, O. f To Whom It May Concern - I can most cheerfully recommend Pe-ru-na as of the very greatest possiblo benefit in cases of catarrh und other diseases of the mucous membrane. This remedy has established itself in tho minds of the people as of tho greatest possible worth and genuineness, I have known Dr. Hartman for a number of years and am pleased to say that ho is one of tho leading citizens of this city a man of tho very highest standing and character in this community. Respectfully. Samuel L. Black It is difficult to over-estimate the benefit that Pe-ru-na Is to the profes sional man. The hardest work any man can do is men tal work. The man who uses musc.es chiefly finds that it Is much less difficult 'to maintain g d health than the man whose work is prin cipally brain work. Rev. A. S. Araughn, of Arkansas, speak ing of Pe-ru-na in this connec 1 1 o n. says: "It is with A.S. A'aughn.D. D. pleasure that I can testify to the meilts of Pc-ru-na as a tonic. I had been prostrated and al most dead. I took Po-ru-nn, and so great was the elfeet that my strength returned rapidly and am now enjoying my unual health. To all who suffer from debility of any kind I can rec ommend Pe-ru-na ns a valuable tonic." Col. Peter Sells, of Columbus, O., is probably one of the busiest men in tho United States. It Is Impossible for tho average man to es timate the amount of wear and tear and nervous strain that such a man must endure. In commenting upon thl subject Mr. Sells stated In a letter to Dr. Hart man: "My business ns advertising ag Peter Sells. ent of our Immense consolidated show makes it necessary ior me to be con stantly subject to chango of climate and diet. I find Pe-ru-na an admir able remedy to correct the evils that follow. I would net he without Pe-ru-na In my travels. AVlth an occasional use of this remedy I find myself always In splendid health and good spirits," AVho is busier than the modern news- for when he found that his daughter was a jewel of n wife, about the finest thing on Ice in the west, ho demanded a codicil to be Inserted in the deed. He struck for more blankets.
