Owing to the wetness, the threshing machines are not. making melody 'in these parts at this writing.

John Paine of San Pierre, a druggist by profession an 1 a correspondent by choice, was a very welcome caller in D. V.. last Tuesday. Our friend John is an alright fellow in every respect and we confer upon him the right to visit D. V., whenever his majesty sees fit. Our friend of San Pierre in a doublebarreled article last week gave us a little side show in which he was the chief actor. Judging by our friend’s curious speech he must be suffering from the malady known as the inflamation of the imagination, for he that sucketh a faucet driven into a keg of emptiness is liable to have anything. If Cupid ever expects to land our genteel friend of San Pierre, he will have to use a shot gun. We are fully persuaded that it is rank foolishness to try to bring him down with a little bow and arrow. We can't for the life of us see why Cupid persists in using such a weapon, in the face of so many failures. When our friend of San Pierre penned that oat shock story he was laboring under an over-dose of faucet, of the German settlement kind. For the time bejpg it was the keg speaking through humanity, supplemented by an unhealed pang of Cupid darts. The following discourse should have appeared a long time ago but owing to unalterable circumstances it has been kept until now, knowing that like wine, agewould better it, Our good friends of Chicago, Jake B. Amberg, George Arnold, Mathew Krnchten, Richard Wagner and Elmer Hassmann spent a few happy days at the Burrows camp. They came out to have a good time, eat fish and drink their fill of the sparkling waters of the Kankakee, and we are prepared to say that they did it all up in true American style. To prove it, we wish to say that ever since they left, no one has had a good time, fishing is poor and the river two feet the loser. Elmer Hassmann, who his close friends call Circus Solly surely had the time of h>s life. He said, he intended to have a good time, as this was bis last chance, as he expected to meet his matrimonial Waterloo before frost came, and we are prepared to say that he surely had it too. A week after he left, a chip was picked up 20 miles down the river having upon it a lady’s name and over it a nitch-fork, which is said to be the coat of arms of our friend Solly. Before the boys departed they had a little shedding of tears meeting, as they were very sorry to leave the place, consecrated by joy and good times undescriably, but they finally succeeded in comforting themselves with the thought that next year would allow them to repeat, on a grander scale, the joys of this year.

F. Hawkes. •

The Greatest Family Medicine Ever Discovered. Hon. Wm. G. Hunter, ex-member North Carolina Legislature, writes from the Census Office Building, Washington, D. C., as follows: “The greatest family medicine ever discovered, in my opinion, which comes from experience as well as observation, is Peruna. The most common affliction to humankind is a bad cold. Peruna drives it out of doors, wards off catarrh, invigorates and givSs fresh strength to mind and body. I give Peruna my unqualified endorsement.” Wm. O. Hunter. Chronic Catarrh of the Stomach Cured By Pe-ru-na. Jas. T. Jakeman, President Elder Morman Church, Salt Lake City, Utah, writes: ~~ z ~~. “I should be and am a very grateful man for having been recommended the use of Peruna for catarrh. I had a chronic case of catarrh of the stomach and my system was so filled with different remedies that I had taken, that I sickened at the sight of a medicine bottle. Peruna was a last resort and it did not fail me, but cured me in about three

New, of Indianapolis, will be appointed to the president’s cabinet are credited by his friends here, although New refuses to discuss the matter.

NEW FOR THE POSTOFFICE

Pe-ru-na u a Catarrhal Tonic Especially Adapted to the Declining Powers of Old Age. In old age the mucous membranes become thickened * and partly lose their function. This leads to partial loss of hearing, smell and taste, as well as digestive dieturbances. Peruna corrects all this by its specific operation on all the mucous membranes of the body. Orfe bottle will convince anyone. Once used and Peruna becomes a life-long stand-by with old and young. Mr. Charles F. Benctsson, Truesdell, Mo., writes: “I have followed your instructions for the ______ past month and As Well As Can Be am now as well At the Age Of as I can be at Eighty-four Years the age of eighty- I—four years.

It has helped me ever since. I feel well, but will always have Peruna as my companion.”—Charles F. Benctsson. Suffered a Number of Years From Systemic Catarrh.

Olive St. Los Angeles, Cal., president Girl’s Friendly Society, also secretary South Los Angeles Travelers Club, writes: “I was for a number of years a sufferer from systemic catarrh. I was very nervous and run down, my appetite had failed me and my sleep was not restful. I had lost much in weight and looked like a very sick person. My physician advised a change of climate and the medicine I took only gave me temporary relief. “Itried a bottle of Peruna as a last resort and was greatly pleased to find that I felt much improved in a general way and then I bought several bottles more. “I am now in good health and have a good appetite and sleep well. I cannot say too much for Peruna and for what it has done for me.”—E. Schoncher. Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Perunais perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquiring a drug habit. Peruna does not produce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect.

TALE OF A PARIS HAT

Flower Seeds Therefrom Take Root and Spring Up Into Plants. NO HATS GROW ON THE BUSH Harry New Said To Be Close to Some Official Lightning—Hoosier State News Notes. Frankfort, Ind.. Aug. 18. —Thirty years ago Samuel Summerfield, of this city, was a resident of Aurora, and was engaged in the millinery business. A hat was sold by him for a little girl, and after she had worn it a while she grew tired of it and tore it up. The hat was trimmed with what was supposed to be artificial flowers. She pulled tlie buds to pieces and from one of them dropped some tiny seeds. Should Have Some Paris Hats. The child’s mother remarked that the seeds looked to be genuine, and she planted them. In a short time the seeds sprouted and within a few years the bush began to bear, and the flowers, not unlike a pansy, were very beautiful. The family lost trace of Sommerfield, but learning that he resided in this city the Aurora family has sent him a box of the flowers and a letter telling him of the hat and how the flowers came to be grown. Hat Flower Is Abundant. The girl who wore the hat is now a married woman, but she lias grown the flowers for a number of years and calls the variety her “hat flower.” She has given the seed to a number of her friends at Aurora, and many of the dooryards of that city display the flower which had its origin in the seeds that were taken from the hat supposedly trimmed with artificial flowern. How the Matter Is Explained. The explanation of it all Is said to He in the fact that thirty years ago all of the artificial flowers came from France, and • inasmuch as they were very expensive, the flower makers of that country hit upon the plan of preserving native flowers, making use of their knowledge in preserving the flowers rather than to produce them by artificial means. Such a flower was on the hat sold by Sommerfield, and there is no telling how old the seed was befose being accidentally discovered and made to germinate on this side of the Atlantic. Sommerfield has made a request for some of the seed, and will grow the flower in the yard at his home in this city.
