Victims of catarrh of the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh of the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh rtf the pelvic organs, are to be counted by aundreds of thousands. Orip is epidemic catarjh. and sows the seeds of chronic catarrh within the system. This is so true that few grip sufferers are able to make a complete recovery until they have used Peruna.

Ghostly Forms Scare Workers and Give Mysterious Signals. Weird stories of ghostlike figures seen aj the entrance of the mine shafts and tales of groans and moaning sounds being heard from the bottom of the shafts are related by raining men who have just returned from the property of the Big Kanawha Mining Company at Creede. These tales, which rival those of "Babbette," of whom Frank Daniels sang, are said to have become so impressed upon many of the men employed in the Big Kanawha Company's mines that they have quit work and sought places in other mines, where the unnatural sights and sounds are unknown. The first man to relate a ghostlike tale of his experiences while working at the mine was Xiel McQueg, an engin T f wo o o K/M1+ o rro ii . x v uuviii 11 \ vj iuuiiiuo af^u that, while standing at the end of the tram, he saw a man not more than twenty feet away. Thinking it was one of the miners employed at the place, he spoko to him. He received no reply, and again he addressed him. Again he received no reply, and this time McQueg determined to find out who the man .was. He approached to where' the figure had been, and as he nc-ared the spot the man disappeared. No trace of the man could be found. McQueg swears that he saw a | man, but the moment that he approached to where the figure had been i it vanished as if by magic. Not even the slightest trace of a man could be found, and none of the men working around the mine at the time saw anything of a stranger, nor were any of them near the place where McQueg had seen the figure at about the time that the engineer saw the vision. Shortly after this three distinct signals to hoist the men given from the station were heard in the bottom of the shaft where Henry S. Jones and mmn ntlinre ri-orn TvrvTM.*i r> rr At til ft OVUiC VlUV.iO ? VA V *1 VI * *?S. AAV I"*' time the signals were given no one ' was nearer the place than fifteen feet, and the search made to discover the person who gave the signals has been unavailing. Three days after this strange occurrence, on June 26, 1902, Henry Jones was killed by falling cut of the bottom ot the skip a distance of several hundred feet down the same shaft from which the mysterious signals to hoist the men had been given. These three occurrences made a great impression upon many of the men, and particularly the more superstitious of them.?Denver Times. The Contortions of a Transfer. "I wonder," said a Twenty-third street conductor, "if people ever think of the amount of trouble they give a conductor straightening out their transfers. There are ten transfer points on my route, and so nearly half of my passengers hand me" transfers. You ought to see the condition these paper slips are in when they reach me. Some are torn, some crumpled, ?nmp folded and onrh imp hns tn bp smoothed out and examined. All this has to be done between avenues, as I must be back on the platform at crossings. Most passengers toy with their transfers, folding them over and over again, creasing them at each fold, until it becomes quite a job opening them, especialy if one's fingers are cold. But, worse still, some passengers roll up their transfers as if they were trying to make lamp-lighteds out of them, and women ofteu crunch these little bits of paper into little balls."?New York Times.

The men of his acquaintance spoke to him or nodded cheerily across the restaurant tables, but lie. was conscious of divergent interests, so lie never encouraged their friendly advances, but went liis own way in moody silence. Of women lie never thought since the death of his hopes seven years before, when the girl of his choice had rejected him for a luckier man. Gradually his j'jlitude hardened him, and the hardening process crept into his stories, which took a pessimistic turn. The editors complained because his otherwise strong, virile work, was too sombre; others said it lacked naturalness and humanity, but whatever the fault was, Ilaswell began to realize that something was seriously amiss. "Go out among the people and get freshened up,'' said his friend Boynton, who had always liked Ilaswell's style of work, "and let yourself live. Then write what you have learned from tliem." But Ilaswell declined to take his advice, saying that the vulgar horde repelled him, and he preferred to write in his own way or uot at all, so bis stories grew less and less successful, and liaswell's temper soured proportionately. It was a bitter midwinter night. The icy wind whistled shrilly through the alleys and filtered in between the chinks of Haswell's windows, rattling the casements unpleasantly. Ilaswell -.-.L - c i nnrl Was OUC'Ul tt mi Ilia uuu the exacting editors, who had returned a batch of his stories without so much as a rejection slip. Ke rose, plugged the casements, and drew his machine closer to the glowing hearth, and began to revise the rejected copy, when a timid knock at his door interrupted his thoughts. A gust of chilly air rushed up from the open vestibule below as he threw back the hall door, revealing the presence of a stranger with an awkwardly wrapped parcel in his arms. A thin fall of snow hid the thrcadbareness of his ill-fitting coat, and the drooping rim of his battered hat obscured his face, which was very young and dark and unnaturally thin. "What do yon want here?" Haswell demanded sharply. "Do Mr. Severano live here?" asked a very soft, childlike voice. "Xo, he doesn't," Haswell answered brusquely. "There are no Italians in this apartment house. You had better get out before you're put out." "lie told my friend lie live here," the boy said, apologetically.* "He have promised to let me play for him. I need work very bad, Mister." "Oh, I dare say! Some begging game, of course. Well, you won't make anything licre, I can tell you." Then for the first time be saw the violin under ftum 44*Pk/\ rnn nlr.r inu uu,\ a ia>,g<;u >uiu. jls\J ,ivu i that thing?" ho asked curiously. "You're not more than a child!" "I am sixteen. Mister," the soft, appealing voice answered. "Well, you're man's not here," Haswell retorted briefly, closing the door and going back to his cheerful hearth. But that last glimpse of the pathetic little face made him uncomfortable. He opened the door once more, and leaning over the banisters, called down to him: "Come up," he said rather grudgingly, "I may be able to help you find your friend." The boy pattered softly up the steps. Once within the brightly lighted room his poverty and weariness became painfully apparent; his trousers and coat were frayed and ragged, and his big, loose shoes were full of gaping holes. Haswell took the old violin from his numb grasp and bade him throw off his coat, which he did fumbingly, for his hands were stiff and blue with cold His trousers were wet to the knees, and the melting snow oozed steadily from the broken toes of his shoes. Haswell stared at his sad figure helplessly. "Where do you live?" he demanded abruptly. "In Greenwich street, Mister." "Down town, I presume. Must you go home to-night?" The boy shrugged his shoulders with a gently depreciating smile. "Nobody don't care if I don't," he answered. "Then you had better stay here. You can sleep on the couch, yonder, when you're all cleaned up. You are wringing wet and cold as ice. Tell you what, I'll run a tubful of warip water, and 3*011 can take your bath while I hunt up some dry things. After that }*ou can tell me about yourself." When the strange little figure emerged from the bathroom arrayed in Has well's spacious pajamas, with his black, silken thatch washed and curling crisply all around his pale face, Haswell noticed that his delicate, refined beauty was quite extraordinary and altogether irreconcilable with his rags and misery. Haswell poured out the coffee lie had steeped over 111s alcohol lamp, and set before his guest a plate of crackers and cheese which he bade him eat, while he finished his work, but although the host made a creditable feint of writing, he did not for an instant take his eyes from the beautiful, pallid face which the mellow firelight threw into sharp relief. Why did that stranger child interest him so overwhelmingly? he asked himself grimly; was it because of tlie possible story it held, or had he touched the glossed-over springs of human sympathy which had lain dormant so long under the stolid indifference that cloaked the hermit of the flats? It was a pathetic little story that the lad had to tell, and he told it in faltering English, with now and then a word of his Servian mother tongue to offset Its pathesi ?? his immigrant fatksr, a xING. , * . . ?

He was quite alone in the world, without kindred or friends or money. His only hope was to obtain work enough to pay his return passage to Servia. Ilaswell a?ked many questions, but the lad's story never deviated except to add some pathetic detail which showed how much toil and privation his young life had known. "I used to take a great deal of pleasure in music," said Ilaswell, when the child had finished his story and drawn his chair closer to the blazing hearth. "Suppose you play something for me If you are warm enough to handle your violin. I want to know what you can do." Itkuel tucked his old violin under his j chin and tightened the slack strings, I then he dried his bow carefully and j began to play, very softly and dclieatelj', a weird little melody unlike anything Ilaswell had ever heard, more sad, more beautiful, and infinitely sweeter. There was a lack of technique and definiteness in his touch wliir?h -vvnnM hm- n encwscfnl Upm-ino with the coldly critical public, but to Haswell, whose soul was stirred to its inmost depths by the spirit of pure melody, it seemed inexpressibly lovely. It brought new pictures to his mind, of unsuspected beauty, of lives shadowed by want and poverty, toilers in the dark whom such as he, to whom much had been given, should minister comfort and cheer. He seated himself before his desk and began to write, without conscious effort or weariness, the story that the child's music inspired. The boy played on unceasingly, glancing now and then at the hand hurrying across the paper, until at last Ilaswcll lifted his head and smiled. '"You are tired, I'm sure," ho said in a voice of singular gentleness. "Put j away your violin and go to bed in my ! room, yonder; I want to finish my , work here beside the fire." A week later, when Ilaswcll took his story down to Boynton's office, the latter glanced it over skeptically, read a few lines of the last page, then began at the start and went through it, word for word, with eager attentiou. When he had finished he looked up at Haswell with a queer, unaccustomed smile. "If you can do a thing like that once," he said, "you can do it again. That's the sort of stuff we want. I'll give you $50 for every story of that kind you send me." Ilaswell went back to Ills hermit flat in an exultant frame of mind. He found liis little guest crouching before the fire with his curly head bowed over the violin. "Rhuel," lie began abruptly, "ycu have given me a great deal of pleasure with your music, and to show you I appreciate the kindness I have decided to send you home. A week from to-day you shall have your passage ticket." The boy looked up with a start, and his face grew, if possible, paler. lie rose, laid down his violin, and took a step toward his benefactor, then paused and looked at him with glowing eyes. "Are you very glad?" Ilaswell asked, smiling whimsically. "Yes, blister, an' no, too. I love my country?but I haf no relative?" "Perhaps you would rather have the money?" Ilaswell suggested rather coldly. Rhuel shook his head. Suddenly he put out one thin hand and touched Haswell's shoulder with an appealing gesture that thrilled the older man strangely. "Mister, I rader stay wid you," he faltered. "I? you let me, I JUS iOYC 10 siuy. "Stay with me!" Ilaswell echoed Inadequately. Then he laughed and caught the thin little hand in his big warm grasp. "I really believe we'd hit it off fine, little lad," he said gayly. "I'm not quite suited with this hermit life, upon my word I'm not. Suppose we try doubling up for a time? When you grow tired, you can say so, you know." "No, Mister," the boy contradicted eagerly. "I never grow tired. I love to stay always!" "Stay, then," said Ilaswell. And he did.?Xevr York Times.
