S*1 ^BgzmSEISiSSBgB j A Missourian Romance. Tho story of the reunion of the Roach brothers of Excelsior Springs and Kearney, after a separation of forty-one years, would make a good foundation for a romance. In 1861 the father and two sons of tho Roach family, the latter named George and Lewis, left their Ilinois home in a prairie schooner for the West.? William Roach, the third son, remained. Two years after his father and brothers lett he heard they had been killed in a fight with Indians. He afterward moved West and located at Excelsior Springs. A short time ago W. B. Arnold of that place asked him If he had any brothers living, and told him of two men named Roach who lived near Kearney. He did not think it possible they could be akin to him, but he opened a correspondence with them. It turned out that they are his brothers. The three have for years been living in the same county, without happening to see or hear of each other.?Chicago Chronicle. A FAULTY APPRAISEMENT.

The Treacherous Leech That is Feared ? by American Soldiers?The Peculiar i Call of the Island Lizard?Outpost : r Fooled by Lightning Bugs. j l, "Speaking of things in the Philip- e pines," said a young man who has j, recently returned from the archipel- r ago, "I was just thinking of some of t :he more novel aspects of life in the I (] far-away islands which have lately j :ome under Uncle Sam's supervision. a | We are prone to forget the little things ? ; because of the largeness of the issue I ; and the tremendousness of the re-11 j sponsibilities which we have assumed. : (i I We talk about Tagals and bolomen, j e | and the stubborness with which the ! v j Moros fight, and all that sort of thing, \ * without ever once thinking of getting! i down to a few of the smaller, yet no | j less interesting, features of life in the j ! archipelago. During my expericence ! I in the Philippines I found it profitable ! to take notice of some of the smaller ! I things, and the study incident to these ; c I observations proved by no means dull, i ! The fact is that I was able to pick up j 1 o j a deal of natural history which had j ^ | escaped me up to the time I went to ^ j the Philippines, and some of the fact-, j : gathered are so odd, and so altogether i ! peculiar to the islands of the archipel- i ' ago, that I am sure I never could have ! i gathered them from bocks, and could j ' ! not have encountered them in oilier I s ! sections of the world. The climate, i ? j topography, and other peculiar fea- j * I tures of the country have given rise j | to many curious varieties of insects, ! \ \ and other forms of life, which may ;1! i be easily classified, and yet which are ^ i vastly different from the classes j1! | known in this country. We may take 11 ! the leech, for instance. I have never j *! , found anything quite so annoying ^ ! as the Philippine leech. He has all ; the persistence of his kind in other I sections of the world when it comes to holding on, besides being very danger- "T j ous. The leech became the constant j dread of American soldiers in the isj lands, especially when they were 1 j marching througn marshy places, in : ii 1 not a few instances soldiers lost the | b j lower part of limbs on account of tills : v i treacherous member. j v "They would work their way in un-; | der the leggings, bury their-' heads in J 0 the flesh, and begin their blood-pillag-; ing operation. Soon after they would j a I drop off blood poisoning would set in, I c ! and it would be necessary to ampu- j I tate the lower part of the leg to save j a j the soldier's life. I know a number j a : of cases of this sort, and it is not sur-1 a j prising that these pernicious things i a j became the dread of soldiers when ' n Dn the march across the putrid i j. j marshes of the archipelago. ^ "But the leech is not the only thing. 0 I There are a few mosquitoes if you are i not particular about what you say. c J They are not small either. They are c i large and numerous. They are cun- c ' ning. They know what they want, ^ : and they know how to get it. They p j simply come after yuu with a laDce, ^ J and they leave a scar behind them. a . There are snakes, too, in the Philippines, which would make some of the : bottle Images pale into utter nothing- ; o j ness. I have killed boa constrictors j ^ j twenty feet long, and seven or eight j j inches in thickness. But the two | j things that interested me more than j * I any other things were the lightning ^ bugs and the lizards. These seemed j : to represent a rather novel departure ? ! from the kind we are familiar with i ! in this country. My introduction to jn : the Philippine lizard was rather novel, j ^ j One night while I was on wafch I |a ' heard a curious sound out in the j ? I bushes near the camp. It earn in a ia , sonorous sort of way, 'Kick 'em! Kick j 'era!" Kick 'em! or at least, that was what is seemed to say. Directly I ! heard the same sound. 'Kick 'em!' 3 1 come from another direction, and in i :j a short while there was a regular j p ; 'Kick 'cm!' chorus. The thing kept j a : up al* through the night, and 1 never j j learned ur.til next day that this was j c: ' the peculiar call of the Philippine liz- a i ard. It is a curious sound, but after v | I beiame accustomed to it I rather j] j liked it because of the clever imita- v ' tion of the human sound 'Kick 'em!' i \ ! Thes* lizards are much larger and | s ! longer than any I have ever found this : 0 side of the Philippine Islands. j 0 "Ojje of the funniest things that hap- j Vi peneu in camp during my experience j i in the Philippine Islands was while i u ; we were skirmishing around in Cebu. | j My recollection is that a night or two i before we had.been surprised uy an | ( j attack from the insurgents, who had i ;j swooped down upon us from ambush. \ ^ i One g? the guards was stationed out j *, probably a hundred yards from the j ^ I camp. The main body of men had i coiled up for the night. We all went j * to 'sleep with an uneasy sort of feel- J 0 ing because we were in constant dread ! 11 i that the insurgents would surprise us j agaia with an attack from ambusli. j c ,yi suppose the men assigned to i j guard duty felt the same way, and |n from what happened on the night in ! 0 j question I am satisfied that the man ilon the outpost was particularly ner- j f'( vous. Really, he never denied it, and ; 3' seemed to get as much sport out of the i .nirious happening as any of the other j S men. I guess it must have been along '* j about midnight. It was a dark, cloudy P night, with strong indications of rain, n Suddenly the camp was roused by a q.uick firing on the outpost. We knew- w I vo were in for it again. The insurg- t\ I ents had certainly started in cn an other attack. We were quick in re- j u sponding. You cannot imagine how j Y i much surprised and relieved we fell i when we found that there was noth- j ing doing. The man on the outpost j had fired all right, and he tuought ' a he was firing ai the enemy. He had b j seen a few lights flitting in an uncer- j i( tain way some distance off in the^b i bushes, and he cracked down on them. ! 0 But the lights were not in the hands tl of treacherous Filipinos, as he had *? supposed. It was simply a group of'! (j riiinppiiie jigiiLinujj uug? mitiiig: j a through the bushes and getting closer j (] to the earth so they could escape the j a threatened rain.

FiSH SKINNERS AT WORK. "hey Take the Scales and Bones From Dried Codfish. Who and what are fish skinners? 'he recent strike of the fish skinners 1 Boston has caused the question to e asked, and probably most people rould reply, "They are the fishermen *ho skin fish, of course." And some rho have walked the waterfront (says ne New Yorker out of one hundred) otild add: "Oh, yes; I've seen them t work, amid the slimy cold fish and akes of scale covered with ice." Entirely wrong. Not one person in thousand has seen the fish skinners t work. They are not fishermen at 11; they don't work on the wharves mong the fresh fish. They are allost to a man landlubbers, merely ictory hands, like shoelastcrs or wool 'eavers, and they work in dry rooms, ut of sight on dry fish. In the good old days cod were split, leaned and salted down on the Glouester or Boston boats as soon as aught on the Banks; then dried out, ke hav, on the wharves, and sent bout the country whole, a very ra'.mly of a cod, to he hung up and used 9 desired. But now the fish is split ut fiat and dried as before, and then e.it to the factories where the fish kinners work. These men take the at, dried fish, pull off the skin and ull out the bones with their fingers, nd then cut up the meat into blocks hich are packed into boxes and ought under various firm names at all rocery stores from Eastport to San Tanciseo. The fish skinners are j nnpmiis prnneh tn have a regular la or organization, and earn about $12 week.

"If there 3 anything on earth of which I, in on.men with most of my sex, am more fr?iici of than a snake I don't know rhit It is, and the almost universal npnke among men is to kill a snake 'herGver and whenever they see one. 'et history tells us that snake worhtp iuis existed in one way or anther irom time immemorial, and it xists xoday in some parts of India, rhcre> to kill a serpent is to court all tin ills that the snake god can inflict poll the offender.

"Sailers certainly hate sharks," said a man who has returned from his vacation over the lake. "It was off the pilot boat, on the hay side of Ship Island. Tony, or.e of the sailors, had rowed two amateur fishermen near a ! lot of old piling where Spanish mack- ; erol were supposed to bite at the rate j of sixty an hour, but where, as a 1 matter of fact, only lady fish were j anxious to snap up the bait and where big sharks broke hooks, snapped lines and shattered poles. Tony had been gradually working himself up into a fine rage against these dogs of the i deep. Time and time again his licoks and lines had been taken. He had | began to execrate the sharks in J broken English, but finding this inade- j quato a choice flow of Italian pro- j fanity was directed at the shovelnosed maurauders. Tony is a sailor, and all sailors hate a shark; but in this instance Tony's natural hatred was intensified by the discomfort and annoyance of having to rig up new lines for himself and the amateurs. In desperation he dived into a small locker in the boat and produced a line i as big as a young rope, with a hook i I - that would have done for the hanging I up of moat in a butcher stall. Tony ! then cut a big lady fish in two and j fixed the tail to the hook. "When he threw the line into the water he remarked with frills, that he intended to do up one of the leather-skinned devils of the deep or die. Having thus fixed a trap for the sharks, Tony relaxed himself and went tu pulling in lady fish for the sport of the thing, leaving one end of his shark line tied to the beat. [ "Oh, da old devil," cried Tony sud- J denly. The big line had gone out like ; I lightning. Tony threw down his pole, ! grabbed the line and began to pull ; with all his might. Soon the ugly j nose of a five-foot shark was seen near j the side of the skiff. Its wicked little eyes were glaring with rage. As Tony i drew it near the boat it turned over anrj crushed its teeth against the gun- j wale. Tlie amateurs wanted to shoot j with a revolver, but Tony prevented i them. He was now as mad as the j shark. He was standing in the boat, cursing at the writhing fish and attempting to get a grip on its head. Finally the strong right hand of Tony had seized the shark with a grip of steel, and pulling with his left hand by the line and raising with his right, manage*) to get the shark partly over the side of the boat. He then reached down quickly and with his left hand caught the shark by its tail. Tony's teeth gritted with anger. He batted j the head of the shark against the side of the boat, causing the fish to make frantic endeavors to escape, while the blood ran from its jaws. Tony was asked by one of the amateurs to let the shark go, but he was not finished. It was only after the shark had been ripped open with a knife that Tony, i with a final Italian denunciation, cast j him overboard. Even then the sea J devil swam on top of the water for a i long time before giving up the ghost." ?New Orleans Times-Democrat. COW PUNCHING BY ELECTRICITY. Novel Use of "Magic Touch" by Western Cowboys to Drive Cattle. Cow punching by cowboys under the picturesque conditions of wild western life will soon be a lost art. Electricity is taking the cowboy's place, and reports of its success in this novel field credit rlie new agency witn remarkable success. One of the largest packing firms in Kansas City employs electricity to drive cattle into the beef beds, instead of shouts, clubs, whips and prods. The electricity is applied by means of two insulated wires, connected with the light wires over the catching and knocking pens. The current passes through a stick and connects with two brass points on the end. "Punchers" is the name given the sticks. There are two punchers, each six feet long, in the catch pen, and five, four feet long, in the knocking pens. The insulated wires are about twenty feet long, thus covering a distance in the pens of about thirty feet each. One hundred and twenty-five volts of electricity are turned on, enough to make a sharp, stinging sensation, without leaving a mark or bruise on the beef. The work ot punching is done in onehalf the time and with half the exer-" tion. The effect of the magic touch on the steer is amusing to see. A steer touched on the left hip im- i mediately throws his hindquarters as | far as he can to the right. Then he j cocks one ear straight ahead and one i straight back, switches his tail and j starts straight ahead. He don't care . for a second attack. The electricity j speaks to him in a language he doesn't understand. There is a look of surprise in his eyes, and he seems to know that all the trouble lies in the j end of that stick. He doesn't stop to j get mad or howl. He has urgent business at the other end of the pen. That is exactly where the drivers and knockers want him. The new method completely does away with all back rushes and dragging in with -chains, i for just as long as the puncher is be- j hind the steer is just as far as he can j get in front. The saving of time and ; bruised meat are also items to be i considered.?Philadelphia Press. I NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL. "Ah, it's a sad old world" sighed j the man who had been cheated out ol i $20.

Aside from the defects which are born with the child, by far the great- I est number are the result of accidents j and injuries. Owing to the softness and elasticity of the child's frame he escapes much that would prove serious to adults. Yet the greater part of the serious afflictions of childhood, aside from the contagious fevers, are the outcome of injuries to the bones and joints. In children's wards in the hospitals the majority of the little patients are suffering from the diseases which make deformities. These are the different inflammations of the spinal column, which cause the various curvitatures of the spine; the inflammatory conditions that, occurring in the hip. give rise to hip joint disease, and the malformations which occur in the foot, giving rise to the shortening of a leg, causing the child to limp. Many of these conditions are due to an accident, such as a fall or a bruise; some are present from birth. A child's frame is much like that of the young tree or sapling. It can be trained and shaped while young and pliable, but after it is full grown this . is not possible. Parents should use I every means in their power to relieve 1 _ _ .. ... and overcome the deformities which will be such a burden to their children all their lives. Mothers should constantly inspect their children to discover any of these troubles which result so disastrously. When the child I is undressed, make it bend over so as , to curve the spine, which makes the little projections of each vertebra stand out in relief. See that they make no deviations toward one side or the other. See that the shoulder blades i are in a like position and not project- | ing too much. Look also at the ribs, especially where they are attached in front. It is well to have the seemingly healthy children gene over by the family physician once in awhile to see that growth is progressing as it should. If the spinal curvatures and the hip joint troubles are discovered j early great suffering and the attendant deformity can be avoided. These diseases, which cause the greatest part of the deformity of childhood, are insidious in their approach and are often not detected until their ravages have progressed to such a j degree that their remedy is difficult, j even if possible.?Philadelphia Inquirer.

Letters of congratulation and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrn remedy are pouring in from every .State in the Union. Dr. Ilartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher?all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest en^my, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is, well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pc-runa not only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, coids and so forth. ' The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na.

' Dear Sirs?1 have had occasion to usa your iVru-na medicine in my family for colds, and it proved to be an excellent rem* edy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly, W. M. Lord. It will be noticed that the Governor jays he has not had occasion to use Pe-runa for other ailments. The reason for this is most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. Tnis is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru- . r.a in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, la grippe and other climatic affectiooa of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house.
