T IKE A DEMON grip has crossed our
Xj country, leaving behind scores of physical
wrecks.
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.
Never in the history of medicine has a
remedy received such unqualified and universal
eulogies as Peruna.

HAUNTED MINE.
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.

That through the soul came thronging,
Which was e'er so dear, so kind,
So beautiful as longing?
The things we long for that wc arc
For one transcendent moment,
Feforc the present poor and bare
Can make its sneering comment.
Still, through our paltry stir and strife
Glows down the wished ideal,
And longing molds in clay what life
Carves in the marble real.
To let the new life in. we knot.',
Desire must ope the portal;
Perhaps the longing to be so
Helps make the soul immortal.

populous city, "with the noise
6 and bustle of traffic and hum
of human voices always buzzing
through his solitude, yet always alone
and lonely, a hermit of the flats. 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

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

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

Ills only friends had lately been engaged
to travel with a concert band,
and he was trying to lind a countryman
who had promised him an insignificant
part with his wandering band.
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.

said there was no help for me

the fall of 1S90 after getting Doan's
Kidney Pills at Cunningham Bros.'
drug store in Champaign and taking a
course of treatment I told the readers
of the papers that they had relieved me j
of kidney trouble, disposed of a lame
back with pain across my loins and beneath
the shoulder blades. During the
interval which had elapsed I have had
occasion to resort to Doan's Kidney
Tills when I noticed warnings of attack.
On each and every occasion the
results obtained were just as satisfactory
as when the pills were first

Deafuess Cannot Be Cared
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to euro deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
bo destroyed forevor. Nino cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh,which is nothing but an
