wished to debate, of whom thero were
six, wcio given the oppoituuity of show
ing their argumentative abilities before
the committee, which was composed of)

Isaac came to Waco and sat for his
picture. In his hand he held a stick
cut from the grave of Geneial An
dievv Jackson, which has been carried
by him over since. Mr. Brock is a dig
nified old gentleman, showing few signs
of ileciepltude. His family Bible is still
piesetved, and It shows that the date
of his birth was wiitten 111 years ago.
Suiely a few words from this remark
able old gentleman, who has had 111
yeats of experience to draw from,
would bo interesting as well as profit
able. A lengthy biographical sketch
Is given of this remarkable old man
In the Waco Tlmeb-Herald, Dec. 4, 1898.
A still more pretentious biography of
this, the oldest living man, illustrated
with a double column portrait, was
given the readers of the Dallas Morn
ing News, dated Dec. 11, 1S98, and also
the Chicago Times-Herald ot same
date. The centenarian is an ardent
friend of Pe-ru-na, having used it
many j'ears.
In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Mr. Brock says:
"After a man has lived in the world
as long as I have, he ought to have
powerful arguments. This selection was
seriously opposed by the other members
of the committee on the ground that the
first debator was excelled by his oppon
llrst debater was excelled tn argument.
Hut knowing tb.it the teachers had more
knunltdgo concerning the abilities of
students under their care, the)' uccepted
the advice of the teachers. Nevertheless,
when tho committee's report was brought
before the society n motion was mado
and can led that It be rejected. This
was done only nfter n half hour had lit en
spent In tho discussion of tho affair nnd
alter the presldtnt and vice preddent
had again nnd again tnken the ehali,
that each might lmvo a say In the nut
ter. Tbe lejeilliig ol this repolt was
undoubtedly a dittlment to the sooici
lor tbrto tear In is who have both lis
tened to debates and taken part In Hum
for u numbei of years, surely ought to
bo bttt r iiiallllcd to stliol dtbatiiis than
students who. as vet, have had veiy
llttlo ospciltncc In this line. It will now
bi necei-sai, slnm the leport has been
rojtitcd, to have the deb ite over again,
nnd as a new committee has been silecl
ed to hear tho debatvis and to select
from them, It will be shown who has
the bettir judgment, teachers or stu
dents. A veiy wrong impicsslon, and one
which has created considerable discus.
slon throughout the clt, was gained bj
a majority of the students. Last wiol;
It was so m ranged that the students,
Instead of going to tlui niidltoilum In tlu
morning weie requested to lepoit nt eii
tain class rooms Instead. On account ot
this It was necessary that the chapel
exercises be dispensed with lor the firs'.
two moinlngs. Since the auditorium wat
not tonstiuctcd for tho purpose of a
study room, It was found necessary that
the students that come to school early,
for the purpose of study, should have
some suitable place to do so. So this plan
was ngreed upon, but this was not done
to do away with tho chapel exeiclses, al
though for the first two mornings It was
absolutely necessary. They were again
resumed on Monday morning.
The committee appointed bj' the Pedes
trian club for tho purpose ot ai tanging
things pertaining to tho walk which will
tnkn place on some Saturd.ij In the neai
future, held n meeting jesttrdaj. The

the following: Harry Kheuhnrt, Prof.

found out a great many things by ex
perience. I think I have done so.
"One of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper remedy for ailments that
are due directly to the effects of the
climate. For 111 years 1 have with
stood the changeable climate of the
United States.
"1 have always been a very healthy
man, but of course subject to the little
affections which are due to sudden
changes In tho climate and tempera
ture. During my long life I have
known a great many remedies for
coughs, colds, catarrh and diarrhoea.
"I had always supposcti tnese anec
tlons to bo different diseases. For tho
last ten or fifteen years I have been
reading Dr. Haitman's writings. I
have learned much from his books,
one thing In particular: That these
affections are the same, and that they
are pioperlj- called catnrrh.
"As for Dr. Hartman's remedy
Pe-ru-na, I have found it to be thn
best, if not the only, reliable remedy
for these affections. It has been my
stnndby for many years, and I at
tribute my good health and extreme
old age to this remedy.
"It exactly meets nil my require
ments. It protects mo from the evil
effects of sudden changes; It keeps
me In good nppetite: It gives me
stiength; It keeps nij blood In good di
ctation. I have come to reply upon
It almost entirely for tho many little
things for which I need medicine.
"I believe It to bo valuable to old
people although 1 have no doubt It Is
just as good for the j-oung. I should
be glad If my slnceiu testimony should
become the means of others using this
remedj". because I believe It to bo the
gieatest lemody of this age for ca
tarrhal diseases.
"When epidemics of la gilppe (list
began to make their nppcarance In
this countrj I was a sufferer from this
disease.
"I had several long sieges with'
the grippe. At first I did not know
ttiat Pe-ru-na was a remedy for
this disease. When I heard that la
grippe was epidemic catarrh, I tried
Pe-ru-na for la grippe and found it
to be just the thing. ti
"It has saved me several times from
a siege of the grippe. I feel petfectly
safe from this terrible malady so long
as I have Pe-ru-na at hand. I hope
that Dr. Hartman may live to be as
old as I am, to continue the good work
of teaching the people the value of his
great remedy, Pe-ru-na.
Very trulj', yours,

eveiy carpet st'.re in Scranton, lo price and look she came here,

they grow more charming.
We make, lay and line them free of charge.
