ASKED FOR FISH
BUT GIVEN COAL
A Flah Story With and Without iho
Fish in Which D. & H Men Fig
ure in a Gams of Pleasantry.
There's a good story being passed
around a the city station c: th Dela
ware an'1 lltflun company that te'ls
oi Hie Runrrslty of I'ln'i If i. .Smith,
the B"iil:il ticket nucrt. and of tne fell
doings of some of his friends who
stepped In between the aforesaid gen
erosity and the person for whom It
was Intended.
Mr. Smith ! as much a lover of the
sport of fishing as well, as Chief Mc
Nulty, Constable Michael Mnran or
John Gubert, and be doesn't have to
take "a snte behind" for any of them,
as Mr. Pooley would say. Claudo
went on one of his fishing trips a few
days, it should be said on one of his
usually successful trips, for It's an ice
cold day when the bass won't make
friends with him. When he came
home, as Is the custom with hi in, ho
looked about and thought a bit for
some friend whom ho might gladden
with a bass or two from his good sized
catch. Train Dispatcher Tarry, It
struck Mm, would have no particular
objection to eating a llsh or two and
he arcordingly arranged to leave two
good sized bass in a pall at the bag
gage room of the company, where
Mr. Tarry could procure them on his
way home in the evening, llote Is
where the fell doings nf Mr. Smith's
friends figures In the story. The fish
were nicely packed in n pail of lie,
that the warm wctiMier might not
take advantage of them. Now, it
happens that Willis Moon, whose good
natured faie beams upon you from
behind the wicket of the ticket win
dow, and Trainmaster George Chap
man are far from slow when It comes
to playing and enjoying a practical
jok". The pair spied the pall and
knowing that It was left by Smith,
and being no less curious than the lest
of humanity, they took a peep and dls
coveted the two llsh, neatly wrapped

Scaro.
The fears of smallpox In the village

of another malignant disease "black"
diphtheria.

summoned, pronounced as malignant
diphtheria, and two other children In
the same household are likewise anile
tod, one being sick nlmost to death.
The sickness bro.ke out In the house
hold of Thlllp Oogots, an Austrian,
The physicians who, were called on
Sunday night, found the throats of the
children, four In number, terribly In
flamed and cankered. The symptoms
were clearly that of diphtheria of a
malignant type, commonly called
"black" diphtheria, the physicians
agreed. Two of the children grew
worse until they succumbed, one late
Sunday night and the othe:' yesterday
morning. Of the other children, one
Is dangerously ill; tho other has but n
mild attack. How long the children
have been sick, tho physicians could
not determine.
The school board 'of Fell township,
which has Jurisdiction In such cases,
has ordered n strict quarantine to be
observed at tho Oogots home. The
quarantine will be as rigid as during
the existence of the smallpox.
Something that is giving the officials
concern Is the congregating of per
sons In tho C.ngots hous-o on Sunday
night. The doctors who attended tho
patients advised and warned the mem
bers of the household to confine them
selves to the house and not to mingle
with any neighbors. Instead of fol
lowing this admonition, the house was
virtually thrown open and a "wake"
was held. From now on, however,
none of the family will be permitted
to leave or enter the house until dan
ger of Infection Is passed.

Tarry came for the promised fish,
grabbed hold of the pall with a smile
on bis face, as he contemplated the
enjoyment of the meal of bass. On
his way home ho could almost smell

than it can be described how dlsap

pore he was to find that Instead of bass
there were two pieces of coal care
fully wrapped In tissue paper. Tarry
didn't 'take any fish that night; but
he did take something else; he took a
long brqath and vowed he would get
square with Smith. The whole thing
was a trick of Smith's, thought Tarry,
but he consoled himself with the
thought "there would come a time
some day."
When Tarry and Smith met the
next day, Smith naturaly expected
that Parry would make some sort of
comment about the fish, about how
good they were, that "they were the
finest bass he ever nte," or "they
were daisies, Claude, where did you
get "em?" But not a word; only a
look that meant "Oh, never mind, It's
all right, but I'll get square some
day."
Smith, on the other hand, put Parry
down as n "dead one'' who couldn't
nppeclate a good thing. Thus they
continued, one thinking that the other

CAUGHT fl SEUERE COLD.
BROUGHT ON SUMMER CATARRH
"W.
MISS BLANCHE MYERS.
Mlsa Blanche Myers, 3120 Tenn street
Kansas City, Mo has the following to
say of Perunn:
"During each of the past four sea
sons 1 hnve caught a severe cidd. when
suddenly chilled nfinr an evening
party, nnd catarrh for sevetal weeks
would be the result. One bottle of
Peruna cured me. and I shall not diead
colds any more as I did." BLANCHE
MYERS.
Miss Anna Cramer, lD.'.n Second ave
nue, New York City, writes:
"I can bear witness to the fact that
Peruna Ih the best remedy for catarrh.
I have already brought It to notice
of many. My sister nnd her husband
keep It In the house nil the time, and
are convinced that there la no better
temedy for colds. If every one would
keep Peruna In the house to guard
against colds much needless suffering
would be spared, If any one doubts I
am ready to teptlfy, for Peruna cured
me of catarrh after I had suffered for
ten years," Miss Anna Cramer.
Miss Nellie Underwood, National
PresR Correspondent Ladles of the g.
A. R., writes from 001 Hamilton street,
Chicago, 111., the following:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus,
Ohio.
Gontlomon "Every summer when
tho weatlo changes so suddenly I
seem to catch ono of thoso tedious
colds. I havo tried several romcdlet,
but twoyoars ago I tried Peruna and
found It most efficacious. It cured mo
completely In six days. Last summer
I had anothor attack. I at once took
Peruna and In three days was well. I
find that by taking It occasionally It
keeps my system In a healthful condl.
tlon, nnd I theroforo gladly ondorso
it." Mrs. Nolllo Underwood.
Summer colds, though not ns fre
quep't ns 'winter colds, very often
prove more dangerous, At the first
symptoms) of catching Peruna should
be taken. It Is sure to stop the cold
at once, nnd save needless, suffering,
nnd perhaps catarrh.
Peruna as nn Intornnl systemic rem
edy acts promptly on the Inflamed mu
cous membranes wherever the cold
has settled. It strikes) nt the root of
the matter, and thus cures promptly
and permanently.

mother when she scans her worn face
in the mirror, and asks the question,
"Does it pay? Does it pay to sacrifice
neaun ana nappiness
to wedded love?" But
there is another ques
tion which rightly
takes precedence of
Does it pay? It is
this: "Is it neces
sary to sacrifice
health and happiness
to wedded love ? "
