down Broadway. At Thirty-eighth
street they played billiards and pool
for an hour, after which Mr. Higgins
paid the checks. At Thirtieth street
they took a violent fancy to a line of
$3.50 neckties in a window and were
speedily fitted out. Mr. Higgins didn’t
care for a $8.50 necktie himself, but
be squared things with the cashier. At
Twenty-fifth street the Albanians ran
out of smoking material, dragged Mr.
Byggins into a tobacconist’s and pur

The Albany men were having the

to the voracious Kilburn. “If it cost

a man gives a check which is afterward
destroyed, and possibly the man to

But Uncle Sam,'on the contrary, can

The amount which the government
makes in destroyed stamps each year

The stamp collectors furnish a large

Dean Irwin to girl freshmen at Kad-

assembled for the first time as a class
to get a few words of advice concern
ing their conduct during the next four
years, says a Boston special to the New
York Times.
Miss Irwin evidently was seriously
impressed with the fact that Harvard
university, less than 200 yards away,
has u large number of attractive young
men, for she cautioned her young hear
ers to act always with due decorum on
the street.
“Walk straight ahead, don’t go look
ing about and be modest,” was the
advice she offered an an antidote. She
also cautioned them to hurry through
the yard and to keep their skirts from
dragging.

The Following Letter From
Thankful Woman Tells Its
Own Story.
Miss Margret Fahey, 49 Adams St.,
Troy, N.Y., writes: “We have used Pe-
runa in our family for years and am
very pleased to say that it cured me of
catarrh of the lungs when the doctors
gave up all hope of my recovery.
“I used Peruna for six months and at
the end of that timemy cough had dis
appeared,my appetite was much better,
I iiad gained ten pounds and
looked the picture of health. I am
In perfect health, now, and feel that
Peruna not only cures catarrh, but
builds up the system and is therefore
a grand medicine.”—Margret Fahey.
Peruna cures the first stages of con
sumption by removing the cause, which
Is chronic catarrh. The catarrh having
been cured the cough and other dis
agreeable symptoms cease.
Doctors Gave Him Up.
Mr. Lewis Kitchen, 211 Worth street,
Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: “I cannot
hank you enough for the good your
Mrs. Bertha South worth, Laurens, la., Treasurer
W. C. T. U., and President Christian Workers of
Laurens Christian Church, writes:
•‘I was a sufferer from catarrh ot the lungs for
years and my health » as In such a state that we
were all very much alarmed over It. ! always had
a little cough and the slightest cold would settle on
my lungs and cause distress In breathing. I had
night sweats, and a pain In my side continually.
“I was greatly reduced In flesh, was very
feeble and hud no appetite whatever. A fter trying
many doctors and medicines, I finally took the ad-
vice of a friend and bought a bottle of Peruna.
? •‘My delight was great when I found / was Im-
I proving before the first bottle was taken. / used
several more bottles and am now perfectly well,
and have regained my weight and appetite. / am
glad to say a good word for your medicine.’’—
Bertha Southworth.
Peruna has done me. About six months
ago I could not leave my bod and the
doctors gave me up, saying that I had
consumption and could not live. Then
a friend recommended Peruna to me,
and I commenced using it.
“When 1 started to use Peruna I
weighed 117 pounds, now I weigh 172
pounds. I had been sick for ten years and
was so sick that I could not turn over in
bed. I think Peruna is the greatest med
icine of its time. I am now feeling well
and hearty and would not be without
Peruna again.”—Lewis Kitchen.
CATARRH CAUSES CONSUMPTION
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure Catarrh
Wherever Located,
T HE medical profession has so thor
oughly prejudiced the minds of the
people against patent medicines thst it
is with great reluctance that anyone
can be persuaded to try such a remedy
at first.
In nearly every one of the thousands
of remarkable cures that Perona has
made the patients had to be persuaded
by friends very strongly before they
could lay aside their prejudice against it.
A large multitude, of course, hold out
against the persuasions of friends and
die simply because they have allowed
their minds to lie poisoned against this
very excellent remedy.
But, fortunately, there is another large
multitude of people who are able to
shake off their prejudice and try Peruna
before it is too late. These people are
rarely disappointed. They generally
try other remedies at the beginning of
their troubles. They allow a cold to
develop into catarrh of the head. They
allow catarrh of the head to gradually
become catarrh of the throat.
They still use the doctor’s medicine or
some other ineffectual remedy. The
catarrh stealthily spreads down the
bronchial tubes and reaches the lungs.
Then they become alarmed. Faith
In the doctor begins to disappear*
The patient reaches a state of mind in
which he is willing to try almost any
thing. A bottle of Peruna is sent for.
The first week It produces a decided
change for the better. A few weeks*
continued treatment cures the patient.
Thousands of Testimonials.
We have on file thousands of testi
monials from people whom the doctors
had given up to die with catarrh^of the
lungs, but who were fully restored to
health by the use of Peruna.

the only secnrfties listed ♦hove which
were presented for redemption were
bonds of the funded loan of 1891, one
and two year notes of 1803 and com
pound Interest notes. Some others may
be presente4 In the future to be re
deemed by the government, but It la
safe to say that in all probability the
larger portion will never turn up.
One of the great sources of unearned
Income to the government ts the de
struction of thousands of notes Issued
from the tre-sury which pass from
hand to hand and reach all classes and
after floating around for years are lost,
worn out or destroyed. The amount
of these unredeemed notes would be
difficult to estimate. From the first
issue, in 1861, to the present day the
amount would reach mlTMons of dol
lars. In the single item of what was
known ns fractional currency and more
vulgarly ns "shlnplasters,” which was
Issued during the dvil war, there was
outstanding on June 80 $15,245,188.21,
of which the actuary of the treasury
department estimates that $8,000,000
will never be presented, having been
destroyed.
The gold coin which Is presented for
change at a subtreasury and which Is
good on Its face for $20 Is returned to
the owner In money of a different de
nomination, but perhaps minus a dollar
or more, due to its reduction In weight
since It was minted. This difference,
while never computed, Is a deer source
of income.
The carelessness which prevailed dur
ing the war period was responsible, so
treasury officials say, for * large
amount of missing money.
pel brings has been largely withheld
from a large part of the world, and

if in our power to do so. On this prin

When the Tribal Government Ceases
it Will Go Out of Existence.
The passing of the tribal govern
ment of the Cherokee nation will
cause the end of The Cherokee Advo
cate. This newspaper is probably the
oldest west of the Mississippi river,
having been established in 1844 by W.
P. Ross, whose widow lives at Fort
Gibson, says The Kansas City Journal.
The Advocate is a curiosity. It Is
printed half in English and half in
Cherokee, the Cherokee side being
printed in Cherokee characters. There
are eighty-five characters in the Cher-
okee alphabet and on that account a
: printer’s case of type is quite different
from that in English and is quite a
complicated affair. There are In the
(’herokee nation only five printers
who are able to set this Cherokee
1 type for the newspaper. These five
have a greater monopoly than any
union or trust, but they have never
been known to strike.
Another peculiar feature about The
Advocate is that its editor and man
ager never has to w’orry about how
business keeps up. The paper is a
national institution and is supported
by the nation, the council passing an
appropriation every year for Its sup-
port. The paper is distributed free
to the fullblood Cherokees who can
not read English. There are 1,000
copies sent to them every week. In
; addition to this, however, there are
hundreds of copies sent out over the
United States as a curiosity. This is
the only publication that has ever
been printed in Indian language, using
Indian characters. In the other na
tions of the Five Civilized Tribes a
