Peruna. For catarrh it is
certainty a blessing. ”

“The Anecdotal Side of Theodore
Roosevelt” gives sharp, clear views of
the strenuous life of our many-sided
Vice-President-Elect in the March
Ladies’ Home Journal. Those anec
dotes reveal the characteristics of his
remarkable personality, and aro freshly
told by his closest friends. The witch
ing “Widow and Her Friends,” of
Charles Dana Gibson’s creation, are
vivified into stage personages and in
treduced in a two-act comedy by Mar
guerite Merington—a Gibson play with
Gibson men and women and Gibson
illustrations. “The Loveliest of All
Kentucky Girls” recounts the social
triumphs of a Southern beauty. Music

the showing of feminine fashions,

RULED WITH A ROD.
But the Rod Mimt lie Iron, With a
Red hot Tip,
"When all other methods of control
ling wild beasts fall the keeper has only
to employ an Iron rod, which hns been
made redbot at one end,” said an old
circus man to a Star reporter recently.
"Lions and tigers,” be continued, "will
crluge before the heated poker, and no
matter how restless and fretful they
may have beeu the sight of the glow
ing Iron Immediately brings them to
tb^fr best of animal senses. It has an
almost hypnotic Influence over the
beasts. 1 have seldom beard of an
animal being burned in this manner,
however, so there Is nothing cruel In
the treatment. It would not do for the
keeper to burn the charges under bis
care, for the scars would mar the
animal for exhibition purposes. The
hot Iron Is a terror, just the same,
and under Its persuasion tbe kings of
tbe jungle are docile and ready to do
what Is wanted of them.
"In circus menageries the animals
often become almost unmanageable.
This Is true of tbe younger specimens,
who do not like tbe idea of being so
closely housed, so much hauled about
and so often cut off from the light of
tbe outside world. When It becomes
necessary to give tbelr cages a thor
ough and sanitary cleaning, one attend
ant holds the beast In a corner by
means of tbe redbot Iron, while an
other thoroughly cleanses the remain
ing portion of the cage, the work being
accomplished by brooms and mops
from the outside. In changing the
wilder animals from the cages em
ployed on the road to the larger and
more commodious quarters at the win
ter station, what we call a strong box
Is used. The wagon is hauled along
side the large cage and the steel strong
box, open at both ends, Is constituted a
passageway. The animal hesitates to
make tbe journey through such a sus
picious looking object, however, and
again the heated Iron must be brought
into play.”—Washington Star.
“The Ucvll'M Turnip Patch.”
On the top of Raid Engle mountain,
just where the old turnpike breaks
over the brow down Into Black Hole
valley, Is a queer field of rock, which
years ago was christened "The Devil’s
Turnip Patch.” The rocks, which are
of a reddish sandstone, have a striking
peculiarity of nil st.Hiding on end, thus
forming a jagged, irregular surface,
that won for it its queer none from
the early settlers.
In bygone days, when the stages
wheeled their way up from Northum
berland to Williamsport, the four In
hands traversed tlie old pike that skirts
the turnip patch, and the strange gar
den of rocks was a constant source of
wonderment to the traveler. Added
to Its interest as a natural-curiosity is
a hidden stream of water somewhere
beneath the standing stones, the noisy
flowing of which forms a romantic
song beneath one’s feet. Nobody
knows where the source of tills stream
Is, nor can anybody find where It emp
ties Itself Into Black Hole valley.
The rock field covers an area of two
or three acres, with Its widest part to
the north, then narrowing down V
shaped to the south, where the angle
Is lost In a fringe of stuuted hemlocks
and elders. Theorists have figured on
the cause of this mountain freak, hut
the theory obtaining most credence Is
that it is a legacy of the glacial ago,
the rocks being a collection pushed
Into their present vertical position by
the moving lee.—Philadelphia Record.

Bobby came home one day covered
with dirt and bruises and trundling a
broken bicycle.
"What on earth have you been doing,
my child?” exclaimed his terrified
mother.
"I ran over a big dog and took a
fall.” explained Bobby.
"Couldn’t you see him and give him
the road?”
"Yes; I saw him and was turning out,
hut when 1 got within about ten feet
of him I shut my eyes, and before I got
’em open again I’d run into him.”
"For the land’s sake, what did you
shut your eyes for?”
"Couldn’t help It. Had to sneeze. If
you think you can hold your eyes open
when the sneeze comes, you just try It
some day.”
If the reader thinks Bobby’s excuse
was not a valid one, let him try It some
day "when the sneeze comes.”—Youth’s
