? With a Dog on a Cowcatcher. Man and His Pet Take a Wild Ride Across the Prairie on a Union Pacific Lcccmcitive. The Union Pacific's last train to Colo rado was just leavins tue Union depot the other night when a man. apparent ly a laborer, ran froui the sheds to ward the baggage ear. He was car rying a eur dog in his arms and ap peared to be er.i ited as he approached the baggage ear. "Shall 1 put the dog in there?" be asked J. C. Tocj?usou. the express messenger. "I'm on my way to Abi lene, Kan." * "Dog checked?" the messeugef in quired. "No-OsO-o." the man said as he trot ted beside the car. "Can't take it. then." The man appeared to be much disap pointed. He stoppeil aud waited for the first coach. Then he jumped aboard, still carrying the dog. When the traiu reached Lawrence the man was told to chock the dog. but he didn't. He gathered up his dog and left the coach. None of the train nieu saw him wuc-j he ran around to the front of the traiu and. with his cur dog in his arms, crawled upon the cow catcher and cluug there for a wild ride of almost 100 mill's to Manhattan. Kan. There when the train stopped the fireman found him, almost exhaust ed,, but still holding the dog. ? When he was discovered he jumped dowu and ran away, still currying the dog. "How he stayed on that cowcatcher is more than 1 can tell." Tomliuson said in telling the story. "Why. that traiu ran fully fifty-five to sixty miles an hour at times, and there are many old time railroad men who wouldn't attempt a thing or that kind. And he did it all for the sake of the cur dog."?Kansas City Suir. leard"fioodbj Brooklyn Girl Calls Up Friend, Bids Him Farewell by Wire and Shoots Herself Dead In Telephone Booth In Drug Store. A "gobdby" and the bang of a re volver shot coming half a mile over a telephone wire brought the uews of a beautiful Brooklyn girl's suicide to a laroff acquaintance before persons only teu and fifteen feet away knew what was happening. Helen Daenzer. a popular and pros perous sewing teacher, chose the dra matic ending that has ofteu been pic tured in fiction, but seldom in real life. Why she killed herself no one knew. Especially were her friends puzzled over the sensational manner of her ending, for she bad the characteristic German disregard for the spectacular and theatric. Yet she 140t only ar ranged that the fatal shot should be beard, but also arrayed herself entire ly in black, with a mourning band on her hat. and then left behind her two notes making clear ber purpose. Miss Daeuzer lived at 515 Halsey street with her mother and brother Gustave. Their apartments are over the drug store of Sidney Smith, who is the owner of the house. Through liv ing there and patronizing the phar macy the girl knew Smith aud his clerk. John Burbridge, very well. . She had assisted her mother in ,to New York for the day." Burbridge replied. "Is there anything I can du for you?" "This is Miss Daeuzer." came the an swer slowly and clearly. "Yes? there is something?I?I wish you might d me a favor"? "Surely." said the clerk. "What"? "I wish"?the voice was wavering but the speaker was trying hard t > control it?"I wish you would come here to Woelfle's store aad"? "Yes. Miss Daenzer." "And identify me. Goodby." Then a roar assailed Burbriuge's ear lie dropped the receiver and stared al his owu instrument ne picked it uj and listened again. He could hea ? nothing ?He rattled the hook for cen tral. but there came uo answer. Thei he realized what that sound must have been. He grabbed bis hat and sprintw out of the front door. Meanwhile back in the Woelfle pbar mncy Johnson had heard a noise tha sounded as Though something had fali en from a showcase. He sauntered ou leisurely to see the telephone boot! door swinging open and his pretty cus tomer's body lying half in and hah out of the little compartment. THEN SHE PULLED THE TRIGGER. teaching little girls to sew in a school that Mrs. Daeuzer runs for the chil dren of the section. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon she entered E. J. Woelfle's pharmacy at 915 Reid avenue, which Is about ten min utes' walk from ber home, and asked Harry Johnson, the clerk, who. was alone there, if she might use the phone. He pointed out two booths to her and gave her two nickels for a dime, since it was a slot machine instrument. "Now., if you'll oblige me with a small bit of paper I won't bother you any more." she said suiiliugly. "1 want to write a note." Johnson gave her the paper, a'nd she thanked him gracefully and entered the booth. He heard her say. "One one-seven-eigbt, Bnsbwlck, please." Then he returned to the prescription that was engaging him behind the screen. A moment later the phone bell in Smith's pharmacy, beneath the girl's hcjue, brought the clerk Burbridge from behind his screen. "Is Mr. Smith there?" a woman's voice inquired. "No. he and Mrs. Smith have gone There was a hole in her righl toraple. and a big revolver lay beside ber. Johnson tried to do what' he could to stanch the wound, but the girl was dead. In a moment Burbridge. the other clerk, came racing in breathless and identified her. Then the two men found a couple of notes on the shelf with the telephone. One. written In lead pencil on the slip of paper John ron had provided, read: Somebody will come to Identify me. Please excuse me for making all this trouble. The other note was written in Ink in German and was addressed to her mother. It ran thus: Dear Mother?Forgive me for causing this trouble. I cannot stand the strain any longer. I have been sick a long time, anil now I am going to rest. This is very little thanks for all the trouble you have taken with ine. 1 know, but i cannot help. I cannot stand the strain and can tiet stand a second disappointment. With love. HELEN. The mother and brother of the girl came to the Fifty-fourth precinct sta tion house and claimed the body. They had no idea what "the strain and the second disappointment" meant. Ohio Infant Has Two Tongues. A child which has attained the age of seven mouths and has two tongues was recently operated upon for the removal of the surplus member at St. Joseph's hospital In South Lorain. O While for a time uo inconvenience was suf fered, recently it was discovered that the child had difficulty in breathiug as weil as swallowing. This Instance b but the second known in the world.

How to Clean Soiled Garments of Different Materials.. No spot or stain can be removed from any kind of material unless there 'is a hacking to absorb the fluid as it '< rubbed in. Failing this, the cleansing ageut necessarily spreads over the sur face to which it is being applied, car rying the soil stain with it. Another requisite is fresh cloths to rub with, for as soon as one is soiled it should be rejected, for a cleansing agent immediately loosens dirt, and everj'thiug in contact with it becomes soiled, and uuless all rags affected are at once laid aside the original staiu is spread, and the final condition is worse than the first. As a background for this cleansing process, use a beard about eight inches wide and twelve inches long. This is not, inconvenient to hold in one's lap. It should be covered with a thick flan nel, like blanketing, and thou pacblcd with a piece of thick, strong cotton. Unbleached muslin is the best for this purpose, and there should be three or four of these cloths constantly in use. The flannel must be tacked on. but the top cover left so that it can be removed as fast as it 5s stained. The object of this board is to give a linn base on which to rub. The covers act as ab sorbents. For all kinds of cleaning, except heavy cloth, such us men's garments, white liannel is the best thing with which to rub. The piece should lie big enough to hold firmly and turn several times tn get a fresh spot while using. For the cleanser a small liar' g basin is most convenient," and if s asoline, etc.. Is employed ouly a few spoonfuls should be poured out at a time. As soon as it shows din it must be thrown away, the bowl wiped and fresh fluid poured in. With these ready for work the spot to be cleaned Is stretched smoothly over the board, and the first cloth dip ped into the bath. Instead of rubbing from the center of the spot outward, whicu spreads the stnin. it is better to begin at the outer rim and work to ward the middle. The cleaning cloth should be turned 'constantly to a fresh spot, and as soon as all has been used it must be laid -aside and another one taken. The material being cleaned must be constantly moved on the hoard to n fresh place when applying the bath. One s??es the reason for this, for the first writing sends soil and moisture through to the background, and uuless the garment is moved from these spots the dirt which was rubbed out will be worked back into the fabric. When the unbleached cotton has been stain ed, the cover should lie removed and a fresh one substituted. When begin ning to rub dry. it is well to have a new undercover. If, even with the best effort, there Is a ring left after the goods are dry. a steaming kettle will remedy the trou ble, always provided that the ring Ls not flirt, but-shnply the line of previ ous -moisture. The ring may be held before the nose of a boiling teakettle, changing the fabric until the entire line 'has been we'll steamed. Then, after drying in the sun, the ring twill vanish. Naphtha and gasoline are among the best cleansing agents for Bilks and satin. Ether is excelleut for velvet, nibbing it on lightly and quickly. For cloth soapy water in which there is ammonia is most - efficacious. With this, however, care must be taken that all the soapy water is removed by a final brushing with hot water in -which there is ammorrfn. A small scrub brush is best For this last kind of cJeanin'g. The garment should be pressed after a ?arge surface has been cleaned. y How to Use Face Cloths. I^nre cloths and sponges are often re sponsible for bad complexions. They are not in themselves harmful, tint they are seldom kept perfectly ?clean. A fact.1 cloth should be used only once or twice and should then be carefully washed and thoroughly boiled before Jt Is used again. A soiled wash -cloth rauses many cases of blackheads and Dimples. 120 sets of the "Big Four" Tmggy harnass and one ear of "Rock hin" biiKgirs just received by Silly and Frith. WE ALL USE PEWNA IN OUR DOME MRS. ANNIE TESCH-. 23rd vou Now Eats and Sleeps We Mrs. Annie Teach, 337 Avenue, Milwaukee, Wl ?writes: "When I wrote to for advice, my health was a total wreck. I could not sleep and thought I would die, as there seemed to be no help for me. But I fo>llowed your advice and took Peruna and Manalin. "I am now cured. I can eat and sleep well, and enjoy life. "1 never will be without Peruna, should any of us be sick." Catarrh of Worst Form. Mrs. Amanda Long, 7237 Seeloy Avenue, Chicago, 111., writes: "I believe that I am cured of catarrh of the worst form and of long standing. "I was almost a total wreck. I tried almost everything and doctored with a number of doctors, but tboydid me no good. "I tried Peruna as a last resort, and by the timo 1 had taken one bottle I could see that it was helping me, and so I con tinued taking it. I can eay now that I have not felt the slightest symptoms for three months, and I think there is nothing like Peruna. 1 still keep it in the house, and think there is no medi cinelike It. lcannotpraiseittoo highly, and bless the day that I learned of it." Mrs. Judge J. P. Boyer, 1421 Sherman Avenue, Evanston, 111.) writes that sev eral complications united in pulling her down, and sho thanks Peruna for new life and strength. Pe-ru-na Tablets. For two years Dr. Hartman and his assistants liavo incessantly labored to create Peruna in tablet form, and their 6trenuouslabors have just been crowned with success. People who object to liquid medicines can now secure Ptruna tablets. Each tablet is equlvale&t'to one averagedose of Peojuna, Who is best able to judge of the value of Pe-ru-na? The housewife who has used it in her home for years, or prejudiced, sensational writers who have never used Pe-ru-na in their lives? ft will not take any fair-minded reader a minute to decide which is the best evidence. The mothers of the United States believe in Pe-ru-na. The half million women who praise Pe-ru-na receive no pay for doing so, and the half dozen editors who disparage Pe-ru-na get big pay for doing so. Which is the best evidence? Sore Threat for Years. Mrs. C. Dashel, 3S4 Irving Avenue, Chicago, HL, Curator Natural History Society, writes: "I am glad to be able to recommend Peruna for chronic sci-a throat. I had been troubled with sore throat for years, but could llnd nothing to help mo. I had an awful gagging in the morning and was imbject to pells. I could not draw a free breath and life had no pleasure for me. My throat was dry aud parched. "I supposed I was doomed to spend the rest of my days in this con dition, when I heard what good Peruna had been to others, so I tried a bottle of it, After using it I was much better and six bottles of it cured me. "I cannot say too much for Peruna, and I hope that some poor sufferer like my self will see this and give it a trial." dizzy mi R5.J.CRU55ELL. Acute indigestion. Mr. John C. Kussel!, 810 County Street, Portsmouth, Ta., writes regarding his wife's case as fol lows: "I thought it would be doing but justice to your gi eat medicine to tell you what it has done for my wife. "Two years ago the doctor called at our house, on an average, three times a week, in attendance upon my wife, who was suffering from acute indigestion was so great th morphine wonld gi "While on a visit kvsome friends in Norfolk she had ar attack and T pre-1 pared to go for s suffering trom^^^^mmmwrnm^i'm^aaj MRS- C.DA5HEU- I Gained Thirty Pounds.

When the chi'dren or I have a cold we take some of raimma'H Peruna. I find it has cut my doctor .bills down to almost nothing." Pe-ru-na for Her Children. Mrs. Alice Boglo, 803 Clinton St., Circlev?le, Ohio, writes: "I want to Inform you what Peruna has done for me. "I have been afflicted with catarrh for several years. I have tried differ ent medicines and none seemed to do me any good until I used Peruna. I havo taken six bottles and can praise it very highly for tho good It has done mo.
