EX-MAYOR CRUMBO
"RECOMMENDS PE-RU-NA
“My endorsement of Pe-ru-na is
Based On Its Merits.”
---Ed. Crumbo.
3 D. CRUMBO, ex-Mayor of New Al
Ybany, Ind., writes from 51. LK. Oak
street:
“My endorsement of Peruna is based
on its merits.
“If a man is sick he looks anxiously
for something which will cure him,
and Peruna will do the work.
“I know that it will cure catarrh of
the head or stomach, indigestion,
headache and any weary or sick ieel-
“It is bound to help anyone, if used
according to directions.
. “I also know dozens of men who speak
in the highest terms of Peruna and have
Jerin hear of any one being disappointed
in it.
Mr. Crumbo, in a later letter, dated
A, 1904, says:
“My health is good, at present, but if I
should have to take any more medicine 1
will fall back on Peruna.”
Had a Few Lives Left.
After being missing for two weeks
a cat belonging to a family in Wilt-
shire, England, was found clinging to
the side of a well 35 feet from the
surface and just above the water.
She was apparently none the worse
for her experience when she was
brought to the top.
DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA.
Brushed Scales From Face Like Powder
~Under Physicans Grew Worse—
Cuticura Works Wonders.
“I suffered with eczema six months, I
had tried three doctors, but did not get
any better. It was on my body and on
my feet so thick that I could hardly put
8 pin on me without touching eczema. My
face was covered, my eyebrows came out,
and then it got in my eye. I then went to
another doctor. He asked me what I was
taking for it, and I told him Cuticura. He.
said that was a very good thing, but that
he thought that my face would be marked
for life. But Cuticura did its work, and
my face is now just as clear as it ever was.
I told all my friends about my remark-
able cure. I feel so thankful I want every-
body far and wide to know what Cuticura
can do. It is a sure cure for eczema. Mrs.
Emma White, 641 Cherrier Place, Cam-
den, N. J., April 25, 1905.”

HOME AGAIN,
[ know some grown-up people
Who say they're fond of boys,
But when you go to visit
You mustn't make much noise,
They have a splendid garden,
With beaut'ful flowers, but there!
They don’t like boys to pick them,
Because they're all so rare.
They have some chairs with cushions
That look like velvet moss,
But they aren’t meant to sit on,
Or lean against, or toss,
They have some things mn cab'nets
All fixed up spick and span,
For “careful boys” to play with,
(The boy who dares to, can!)
They're always kind and pleasant
As ever they can be;
They've spent a whole long fortnight
Just entertaining me.
I guess I like my fam'ly
Fhe best of any one;
And when you've been a-visiting,
The coming home is fun!
~Elizabeth Lincoln Gould, in the Youth's
Companion.
A BRAVE ROBIN.
One day, while passing a fawn in
Cornwall, a gentleman's attention was
excited by the movements of a robin,
which flew around him and flapped its
wings close to his face, plainly show-
ing that it was anxious to “catch his
eye.” Following the bird, which came
backward and forward to make sure he
was coming, he was at last led to a
hedge. By going close up to the
branches he was able to discover the
cause of the robin’s distress. A rat
was in the nest. It jumped out the
moment it was detected. As the kind-
ly gentleman walked away, the robin
greeted his departure with a chorus of
thanks, blithely chirruped.—Presby-
terian.
LINCOLN'S MENTAL POWERS.
Lincoln was alway: strong with a
Jury. He knew how te handle men,
and he had a direct way of going to
the heart of things. He had, more-
over, unusual powers of mental disci-
pline. It was after his return from
Congress. when he had long been ac-
knowleduzsd one of the foremost law-
yers of the State, that he made up his
mind he lacked the power of close and
sustained reasoning, and set himself
like a schoolboy to study works of
logic and mathematics to remedy the
defect. At this time he committed
to memory six books of the proposi-
tions of Euclid; and, as always, he was
an eager reader on many subjects,
striving in this way to make up for
the lack of education he had had as a
boy. He was alwys interested in me-
chanieal principles and their workings,
and in May, 1849, patented a device
for lifting vessels over shoals, which
had evidently been dormant in his
mind since the days of his early Miss-
issippi River experiences. The little
model of a boat, whittled out with his
own hand, that he sent to the Patent
Office when he filed his application is
still shown to visitors, though the in-
vention itself failed to bring about any
change in steamboat architecture. —
From Helen Nicolay’s “The Boys’ Life
of Lincoln,” in St. Nicholas.
CRICKETS ARE TENORS.
A poet, when speaking about erick-
ets and grasshoppers, happily termed
them “violinists of the fields,” and,
although at the time he was ignorant
of the fact, he stated nothing more
than a scientific truth. Microscopic
examination has revealed the fact that
ifn most cases these insects have a
striking resemblance to a rudimentary
violin.
Musical instruments of the winged
type may be divided into two groups
—those which do not use their wings
and those which do, for the production
of sound.
Of the two the latier species is by
far the most numerous. A very curi-
ous fact in this connection is that all
insects are tenors, deep bass voices be-
ing quite unknown.
Many insects sing by day, such, for
instance, as the chickadee, which, how-
ever, are not of the “violinist” type, as
they play upon a series of hard plates
attached to the abdomen, much in the
same way as a Spanish dancer uses
the castanets. ‘Some insect: only sing
by night, such as the domestic and
tree crickets. The apparatus used by
them resembles a violin, the abdomen
being partly endowed with small
bridges like edges or ridges against
which the wings are rubbed.
Next time you hear one of Nature's
tenors try to place him. After that
you'll be iniervested to learn more
about him.
WHY HAIR TURNS GRAY.
The color of the hair depends om
little granules, which can be seen in
the hair if examined under a powerful
microscope. Sometimes the hair may
become white in a night. Brown-Se-
quard tells us that when he was forty-
five years old his beard turned white
in two days. This took place when he
was perfectly well and without any es-
pecial cause. Sometimes, however,
sorrow or illness produces the change
earlier in life than it would usually
take place. As to the cause, some have
said, that the hair becomes filled with
smea air particles which make it look’
gray; others have said that the outer
part of the hair becomes altered so
that it is like ground glass and you
cannot see the color. But a man by
the name of Metchnikoff tells us that
the real reason is because small mov-
able bodies in the hair devour the
grains of coloring matter and move
them to the roots of the hair. Some-
times poisons in disease, or some re-
sults of sorrow, bring about an effect
upon these small migrating bodies
(cells), causing them to become active
fn the above fashion. This is said to
be the reason why the halr grows gril)

FLOSS~A TRUE INCIDENT,
ones of
howe,
Floss was a big yellow cat,
my many pets in my country
One summer we noticed that day after
day Floss went down across the
meadow and disappeared in the odg
of the cedar swamp. He always went
in late in the afternoon, and one day 1
followed him, taking good care he
should not see me He skirted the
swamp for seve rods, stopped at a
little open and, seating himself on a
stump, began washing his face, stop.
ping now and then to glance about in
an expectant fashion.
Shortly there was a rustling among
the bushes, and a handsome yellow fox
leaped into the cpen. Then the fun
began.
Floss and the fox played at tag as
gayly as two children. Floss was al
ways the ‘‘tagger,” and the fox ran
this way and that and doubled and
dodged in so comical a manner that
once I laughed outright, whereupon
they stopped their play and stood for a
moment Floss went
listening. ‘Then

When We Begin to Grow Old.
Dr. Osler's jocose remark about the
comparative uselessness of man for
the activities of this life after the
age of 60, has brought out a rival in
the person of Prof. Minot, of Har-
vard, Frof. Minot declares old age
begins at 25. A man of 30, he says,
is not nearly as likely to have an
original idea us one of 20. The Har
vard professor, like Dr. Osler, must
be speaking in a Pickwickian sense,
If he was in earnest he certainly
would have placed the beginning of
old age at birth, for there is where
it really begins.—Pittsburgh Gazette,

REDBIRD
most beautiful of cur birds is
rdinal or “redbird.” Though not
as brilliantly arrayed, Mrs. Cardina,
is very smartly turned out in rich
brown, with just encugh red to ‘re-
lieve” it.
Alexander Wilson, whase quaint epi.
taph so many have read in Old Swedes’
Churchyard, wrote in 1828: “This is
one of our most common cage-birds,
and is very generally kn¢ not only
in North America, hut even in Europe;
numbers of them have been carried
over both to France and England, in
which last country the; re usually
called Virginia nightingal
Happily this traffic is a thing of the
past. Any bird shou ave his free-
dom in his mative haunts, and such a
magnificent specimen as this eardinal
grosheak (Le is a member of the finch
family) should be doubly protected be-
cause of the temptation his beauty
offers.
Though he is found in all the’Eastern
States, he is a Southern bird. He likes
his home, too, and considers migrating
a bore.
He's a trifle smaller than the robin,
and. with the exception of the dab of
brilliant black around his bill, he is
glowingly, almost dazzingly, red.
While James Lane Allen gives him a
poetic, sympathetic tribute in “The
Kentucky Cardinal,” Neltje Blanchan
is inclined to think that this “Virginia
Redbird,” of refined, dignified and
courtly bearing, is a haughty autocrat
of the “F. F. V.” type, better calculated
to calling out respect and admiration
than affection.
Perhaps he is a trifie spoiled.
No wonder.
He commences his melodious sighing
in March, and early in May Mrs. C.
begins building their bulky, loosely-
made nest, usually in evergreen shrubs,
like laurel and holly. She lays three
or four brown-speckied white eggs,
often two broods in a reason.
Considering all his temptation it is a
great wonder he is not a fiirt, a bach-
elor or a divorce,
Not le.
He's as true as he is handsome,
His liome is a pattern of domestic
felicity, and even in winter, when
without the responsibility of little
birds, he and his lucky spouse are al-
ways seen together.
In fact, he is so devoted and fearful
of harm for Mrs. Cardinal that he often
calls attention to her and their home
by the vent he gives his excited fears.
His voice is loud and clear and his
song suggests “What Cheer.” The
most curious part of it is that his other
half is herself an excellent singer, a
contralto, swvhese notes are more ad-
mired by some than his wild, free,
flageolet-like tenor.
A bird to be proud and no mistake. —

Professor Starr, the famous ethnol-
ogist, was accusing a woman of bar-
barism. ‘And she is not only barbar-

he exclaimed. “I was walking in the
country one day with a young woman,
In a grove we came upon a boy about
to shin up a tree. There was a nest
in the tree, and from a certain angle
it was possible to see in it three es
‘You wicked little boy,” said my coin-

that nest? ‘I am, the boy replied
coolly. ‘How can you? she exclaimed;
‘think how the mother will grieve over
