March 2nd, 1908. 3-8-6, Faithful to the Very End. Grim Tragedy of Brooklyn Wife Who Passed Away at Her Front Window, Watching For the Husband Who Never Came. People passing the house at 10S Berry street. Brooklyn, could see the form of Mrs. Margaret Dunn in the big chair at the front wiudow. And now and then one of them who knew about her explained to n friend: "She's waiting for her husband to come home. He has disappeared again. Sad case! You see, he was pretty well o2f once and lived up ou Bedford ave nue. Things went wrong, and he took less pretentious rooms here. Then about a month ago, because of think ing about what he had lost perhaps, he went a bit out of his head. lie was old, anyhow?older than his wife there. She is fifty-flve herself. lie forgot where he lived while out walking, and It was several days before he came home. 'He found his home because while passing through the street here he hap pened to see his wife at the window. He could not forget her. The sight of seemed inspiring to them, but they felt that some one ought to advise her to have some regard for her health. So one of them visited her aud asked her whether there was anything he could do for her. She shook her head nega tively, and the man left. One day Mrs. Dunn left her window long enough to write letters to several newspapers askiug them to help her Ond bcr miss iug husband. When the letters were finished she dropped them from the window to a friend, who posted them. Theu she seemed to draw the chair closer to the window and brace herself for the final watch. The grim tragedy of the lone woman at the window finally aroused several of the neighbors to action. They de cided that something should be done for her, and they went to her room with the Intention of cheering her in her sorrow. When they received no response to their knocks they inform ed a policeman. He went to the house THE WOMAN WAS DEAD. her brought him back. So when he went away again about a week ago she sent the police after him and then took her seat by the window in the big chnlr. She is patient." Through the weary hours of many days she had sat by that window, watching the passing crowds and hop ing that ainoug the forms that hurried past the house she would spy that of her husband. At night she continued her vigil, peering intensely at the dark outlines of the hurrying folk in the street and anxiously trying to detect the peculiar gait and the characteristic stoop of the man for whom she waited. To.the neighbors the woman had be come a pitiful spectacle. Her devotion and forced open the door. He saw at once that the woman was dead. An ambulance was called, and the surgeon looked at the body. "She's been dead several days." he said. "She died of grief and lack of nourishment" A bank book found in the room showed Dunn had $500 on deposit when he disappeared. A letter also showed that Mrs. Dunn was the aunt of the Rev. Father McGill of Buffalo. An effort was made by the police to locate Dunn and notify bim of the death of his faithful spouse, but it was unsuccessful, and the funeral was held with only Mrs. Dunn's neighbors as mourners. Last Impressions of a Suicide. Man About to Take His Own Life Writes Notes Describing His Preparations For Death. After writing a series of notes on his approaching end, Charles H. Sbively, a Butler (Pa.) real estate agent, who had just lost his money, killed himself. What appears to have been the first note written reads as follows: "I am not enjoying myself here and therefore have determined to enter the eternal sleep of death." The uext letter reads as follows: "I have just taken a shave and set the time for my taking off. I will fill In the time picking the banjo. I view with the utmost tranquillity my ap proaching eud and thus defer the hour, though all is ready, to refute the Idea of the miserable end of the so called infidels. 1 play the banjo with as much satisfaction as at any time In my life. I will take one ounce of laudanum and will use a bullet I will go to the barn at daybreak." The next notation is on the same sheet of paper as a footnote and would lead to the belief that Sbively did go to the barn and, failing to end his life there, had slipped back to his deserted home and penciled the following: "Eight p. m.?Did go. Have con sumed two ouuees of laudanum and fired three shots at myself, but missed. I will end it all here, however." This was evidently the last word written by Sbively, who, sitting by the kitchen table, took good aim at him self, blowing off the top of his head. Six Kisses a Day His Limit. Chicago Husband Leaves His Unhappy Home to Escape From a Too Loving Wife. Six kisses a day are the limit for Ora M. Leedom of Chicago. He prom ised detectives who arrested him for deserting his wife that he would stay with her on that basis. They found him in Springfield, 111., where he went seven weeks ago. "It's a case of too much 'lovey dovey' business," said Leedom. "My wife is a good woman and a fine housekeeper, but she's too strong on the love busi ness to suit me. "Now, I'm not a chilly guy, but I don't want a woman kissing me all the time. When I come home from work in the evening I like to sit down and read the paper. My wife would want me to hold hands and say foolish things. "A few days before I jumped out of town some actress down in New York made a hit with a kiss that lasted forty-seven seconds. When my wife read about that In the paper she said she could beat it with one hand tied behind her back. I don't mind a little kiss now and then, but I draw the line at more'than six a day."

MARY MEYER, Thomaon Avenue, near Shell Road, Win fleld, L. I., N. Y., writes: "I have been annoyed with a cough for years. Often it was so bad that I could not sleep half the night. Many people thought I had consumption. "A woman recom mend od Peruna to me two years ago. I began to take Peruna, and now I am perfectly free from a cough. 1 am glad to say that Peruna cured me entirely. "I take Peruna occasionally, when I do not feel well, and I also give it to my children. "Perunais the bestmedicineforcoughs and colds. I have told many people how much Peruna has helped me." Mrs. Hettie Green, R. R. No. 6, Iuka, 111., writes as follows of the efficacy of Peruna: "Last November I had catarrh and felt sc miserable I thought that I would go into consumption. "I tried so many doctors and medicines but nothing did me any good, only Peruna. "AftGr I began the use of Peruna I be gan to improve in every way. My head did not hurt so much, my stomach is all rights my bowels are regular, my appe tite good, my complexion clear, my eyes are bright and am gaining in flesh and strength. "I think Peruna has no equal as a ca tarrh remedy." Peruna tends to lessen the congh, ue creases the expectoration, strengthens the patient, increases the appetite and in many cases procures sound, refresh ing sleep. MISS BKLLAH B. BF.OOME. Miss Benlah B. Broome, 409 12th St., N. E., Washington, D. C, writes: "I have suffered from weak lungs and catarrhal troubles fur four years, brought on by many neglect ed colds, but on the recommendation of a friend I gave Peruna an honest Weak Lungs For Years. trial and I am pleased to state that it restored me to perfect health. There is not Yhiydightest trace of catarrh in my system aud my lungs are perfectly sound. "1 unhesitatingly give this testimo nial." Mrs. William Hobmann, 5T.9 N.Paul ina St., f'bicngo. 111., writes: "I suffered with catarrh of the bron chial tubes and bad a terrible cough ever since a child. After n while it got so bad I had to cough both winter and summer. Finally, I burst a blood vessel in my throat from the strain of cough ing, next a blood vessel in my stomach, bo I kept getting worse and doctoring, and even then could get no relief. I thought, and everybody else, that I had consumption. "Reading the papers about Peruna 1 decided to try it, without the least bit of hope that it would do me any good. Bat after taking three bottles I noticed a change. My appetite got better, so I kept on, never got discouraged. "Finally I seemed not to cough so much, und the pains in my chest got hotter. t nin well now. i cannot toll yon how grateful I am, and I cannot thank Peruna enough. It has cured where doctors have failed. People who think they have consumption better give it a trial." MISS JOSIE SCHAETZEL. Miss Josie Schaetzel, General Deliv ery, Appleton, Wisconsin, writes: "I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs in very short order, and it was not long until It developed into a serious case of catarrh. Every morning I would raise a lot of phlegm, which was very disagreeable. My di gestion was poor and my lungs sore. "After a few doses of Peruna I began to mend, and felt that if I kept, on YOUR WIFE AND BABY should be your greyest care. It is your duty to protect them in every way. Your responsibil ity doesn't even end with death. The best and surest protection is LIFE INSURANCE. A policy such as we offer will protect them when all else fails. Come in and talk it over. You will be glad to learn how rea sonable you can get one. SEE TO-DAY. Consumption Prevented. taking it it would not be long until I would be well. I was right, for in four weeks I was well again. "I think Peruna is a grand medicine, and wish to add my testimony to the many others yon have." The fight against consumption is be coming a national problem. Everywhere we hear of sauitarinms established at the expense of the state for the treatment of the vast army of consumptives. 1 The open air treatment, fresh air and sunlight, are recognized by the medical profession generally as being the great est necessities in tho treatment of con sumption in all its stageB. ^ Dr. Hartman has for many years ad vocated the fresh air treatment for con sumption. At the same time he has recognized Peruna as a useful pallia tive for the many distressing symptoms ?which accompany the white plague. The promptness with which Peruna relieves a fresh cold, and even removes chronic cold6, is well-known. This ranks Peruna as a reliable prophylactic against consumption, ZE1GLER AND DIBBLE, Special Agents Equitable Life. i Notice. 1 The Magistrates throughout the County are requested to accept one dollar and fifty cents from Road tax delinquents until April first, 1908, after which time the minimum will be five dollars.
