PEN WISED 1 SUDDEN COEDS. It Should Be Taken According to Directions on the Bottle, at the First Appearance of the Cold. St. Joseph, Mich., Sept., 1901.?Last winter I caught a sudden cold, which de- ; veloped into an unpleasant catarrh of the head and throat, depriving me of my appetite and usual good spirits. A friend who had been cured bv Peruna advised me to try it and I sent for a bottle at once, and I am glad to say that in three days the phlegm had loosened, and I felt better, my appetite returned ana within nine days 1 I was in my usual good health. ?Miss Helen Sauerbi?r.

It was not a windmill, however, but the tower of the Congregational Church at Redding Centre. When the clergyman of that church came to see Mr. Clemens the latter told him that one of his guests had called his church a windmill, adding, "I think that was going a little too far!"?The Lounger, in Putnam's and The Reader.

N. Y.?By an abrupt a and sudden switch around in the Supreme Court at White Plains Harry K. g Thaw was whisked back from his re- -v cent quarters in the Westchester f County jail to the place he hates most * in the world, Matteawan Asylum for ^ the Criminal Insane. T After an absence of five months f ^ Thaw reach Matteawan late in the af- [ * ternoon. There he will stay until t one of two things happens, either the p granting of a lunacy trial by jury or F his removal to Pittsburg to testify in f his bankruptcy proceedings now pending. If neither of these two things fi happens. Thaw, so far as his legal a and physical status is concerned, is ii back where he was the day Justice 1< Dowling committed him to Mattea- n wan last January. At a conference Thaw's new law- n yers decided that what they wanted f' for their client was a lunacy trial by ^ a Sheriff's jury, and not a single-bar- c reled hearing before Justice Mills, a Accordingly, as soon as the case was y called at White Plains they took the c step which caused the immediate tl abandonment of the present proceedings and left Thaw free to apply to the Court of Appeals for a jury trial, on the ground that Justice Mills' re- T fusal to grant them such a trill was unconstitutional. The resort to this expedient sent Thaw back to Matteawan for the time e being, but it offered the only chance ^ Df securing a jury trial for him. There was also a suspicion that n Thaw's lawyers planned to get him a into the custody of the Federal au- it thorities, and shunt him off to Pitts- t' burg. o As soon as Dr. Baker, acting super- r< Intendent of Matteawan, stepped out 3f the court, a Federal process server M 3erved him with a writ requiring him to produce Thaw at Pittsburg for the bankruptcy hearing. Colonel Asa S Bird Gardner, representing the Attor- t' riey-General's office, will go before U. b 5. Judge Archibald at Scranton and^ represent that Thaw is a lunatic in Ci custody, just, as he did when Sheriff 0 Lane, of Westchester, was similarly w served some days ago. 0 It is almost certain that an order tvill then be issued against Dr. Baker requiring him to produce Thaw at Pittsburg and eventually it is prob- F lble that Thaw will go to PennsylYa lia. In the meanwhile his lawyers will ale their appeal with the State Court ^ )f Appeals at once, so they say. 111 Thaw looked ill and worn. His ^ mother, his brother, Josiah, and his j*: sister, Mrs., Carnegie, attended the learing, and after Thaw had left for Hatteawan they went to the j3.il and j-* ;ot his papers and personal effects. b( 6? tt BIGGER NAVY FOR BRITAIN. ci m Jig Army, Too?Cabinet Sees Light in the Near East.
