which guaranteed a cure or money re

persuaded me, as 1 had not taken one

CATARRH SIXTEEN YEARS.
Mrs. Elizabeth Scherer, Monte Vis

your almanacs about Peruna and
thought it would perhaps help me. I
have used nothing at all in the way
of remedies except Peruna for about
two years, and my health could not be
better than I now enjoy. This remedy
is also good for coughs and colds. I

Pine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla.,
April 2. —A miss is as good as a mile,
they say, and this letter has missed
being an “April Fool" by one day.
J!y memory runs back some seventy
years in “April Fool” tricks, but the
best one was our failure to fool Prof.
Valentine, our teacher. We tied a
string to a Quarter of a dollar with a
hole in it and laid It on the sidewalk,
covering the string, which ran under
tne schoolyard fence, with loose dirt.
We hid behind the fence and intend
ed to suddenly pull the quarter away
"hen the professor stooped to pick it
up. But he was too sharp for us,
and when he saw the shining silver
piece he suddenly placed his foot be
tween it and the fence, stooped down
and pulled the quarter from the string
and put it in his pocket. We never
f w or heard from it again. * * *
The criticism of Mr. R. J. Travis on
Mew England and her Revolutionary

chants issue elegant little booklets to
give their customers, in which Bunker
Hill, the minute men and Paul Re

Savannah merchants thus exploit
Count Pulaski, Sergt. Jasper, the
“Liberty Roys” and other notable he

booklet on this hero’s career would
be a paying advertisement for the ho

remarkable clearness of the lettering
on the headstone. It must have hap
pened that the marble was of a very

quite correct, and it was this fact
that led me to have the grave photo
graphed. * * * Gen. Brooke also
says: “I am sorry you spoke of young

obliged to the general for this correc

and this fact compels me to depend
upon others, as in the case of Cadet

causes me to make mistakes.

Mrs. Anna Martin. 47 Hoyt street,

“Peruna did so much for me that I
feel it my duty to recommend it to

dizziness and irregularities, and life

It is no longer a question as to
whether Peruna can be relied on to
cure all such cases. During the many
years in which Peruna has been put to
test in all forms and stages of acute
and chronic catarrh no one year has
put this remedy to greater test than
the past year.

The press telegram from Santa Bar
bara, Cal., that Richard A. McCurdy,
the millionaire president of the New
York Mutual Life Insurance Company,
was very ill at that winter resort,
made me feel that I might again be
a “sole survivor." When we were all
active young men in New York city,
many, many years ago, the late Rev.
Dr. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., and William
E. Dodge, Jr., and Richard A. McCur
dy and myself were the four most
zealous and active workers in the Y.
M. C. of that city. In those days we had
no gymnasiums, amusement rooms, etc.,
but gave all our time to strictly re
ligious mission work In the slums, the
prisons and mission stations. Tyng
has been dead in Paris some years.
Dodge died last year at Bar Harbor,
and McCurdy, who is seventy years old,
is in feeble health, if alive, out in Cali
fornia, while I, the oldest and most
active of the quartette, am an invalid
down here in Florida's genial climate.
Considering my severe war experiences
it seems strange that I am likely to be
the sole survivor of that zealous lit
tle band. Of the ministers of the gos
pel then in active service in New York,
I know of only three who are now
alive, and only one of these in active
service.
Wm. S. Rice publishes a magazine
article, illustrated, entitled, "Famous

with a pretty Spanish senorita, who
lived in an humble home In the yard
of which grew this wonderful "Cloth
of Gold Rose Tree.” When he was or

from the senorita under this tree, so
the story goes, and they jointly pluck

garden, thus plighting their troth, and
vowing to be true to each other un

The addition of two stars to the na
tional flag, provided Oklahoma and
Arizona are admitted as new states
in the Union, will disturb the present
arrangement of the stars. At present
there are forty-five of these stars in
horizontal rows of eight and seven
each. The first, third and fifth rows
have eight stars, while the second,
fourth and sixth rows have only sev
en. If I were to add the new stars and
desired a symmetrical arrangements, I
should make the first and second and
filth and sixth rows of eight stars
each, and the third row I would change
from eight to seven stars, putting the
eighth star on to fourth row. This
would put the three longest rows at
the bottom Instead of the top of the
flag. If the three states first proposed
had secured admission, there could be
six rows of eight stars each, and this
would till the blue field. Should Okla
homa and Arizona he admitted to
statehood before July, 1904, the two
new stars will be added to the flag on
"July Fourth,” otherwise they cannot
be legally added until July 4, 1905. It
is quite reasonable to predict that the
lone row of seven stars wdll soon win
the one star needed to fill the Held of

Newspapers that give New Orleans

he staid until he was 18. when he en

withstanding all the benefits he de
rived from his connection with this
great firm, which bore his family name,
in the absence of a balance wheel, or
a rudder, his life eventually became a

Very few of the many women who

what their real trouble is. They know
they belch after meals, have sour

catarrh from the stomach the diges

nerves strong, and trouble vanishes.

the people with the idea that he is
the “right man in the right place,”

so many eases of dyspepsia suffer on
and on without any relief, trying this
medicine and that medicine, is that
these conditions are not recognized

Any one suffering from dyspepsia,
having tried the ordinary remedies

First Naval Fight of
the Revolutionary War
Where and When It Was Fought and by Whom.
Not every casual reader of history
proba.dy is able to tell where the first ]
naval fight of the American Revolu-1
tion was fought, what the fight was
and who fought It. Representative
Wiley of Alabama, In advocating the
bill before Congress for the erection
of a monument at Washington in
memory of Jeremiah O’Brien, the Irish-
American hero of the first sea battle
of the Revolution, tells the story of the
fight:
"The battle in which ’Jere’ O’Brien
engaged was fought one hundred and
twenty-nine years ago at Machais
on the coast of Maine. O’Brien's
force consisted of thtrty-five kicked
men, selected from among the ship
builders and sailors of Mathias. This
spartan band, under the skillful gen- (
eraiship of the gallant O'Brien, quick
ly seized and unloaded a lumber laden
sloop and equipped her for battle,
arming her with the old guns from the
block house and stowing away in her
hull, powder which a young woman,
Mary Chandler, had brought to them
through the mazes of a thick forest.
“Soiling into the bay, ’as the rays of
the early morning light gilded the
Eastern sky, dire was the clang,’ as
the two crafts ranged alongside one
another and exchanged shots. Soon
the schooner’s foresail rattled to the
deck and all was over with her. Clos
ing in and holding her fast, Jeremiah
O’Brien, at the head of his thirty-five
down-Kasters, boarded and took pos
session of her. Five brothers of
O’Brien, Gideon, John, William, Den
nis, and Joseph took part in the engage
ment. The Margarelta was subsequent
ly, in 1776, refitted and renamed the
Hare. Capt. Jeremiah O’Brien com
manded and used her as a privateer,
until she was chased by a British man
of-war and run on the fiats near

Tagalos and as the former tribe was
loyal to the United States, a body of
them were enlisted in the capacity of
scouts. These scouts were of great
help in obtaining information of the
enemy and in some cases the "water
cure” was used. Later on several
other companies were enlisted from
the different tribes, with the result of
the Provisional Battalion, Philippine
Scouts, being formed and made a part
of the regular army.
The sco'Nis wear the regulation army
uniforms and while at the fair they
will receive the regular army pay and
rations. When In the Philippines their
pay is slightly smaller than that of
the American soldier. It i3 said that
the battalion is one of the best drilled
and disciplined body of infantry In
the service.
“why a representative from way down
South in Dixie should feel such an
Interest In a New England patriot as
to be prompted to introduce a measure
lit this chamber to the erection of a
monument to his memory. The answer
Is easy. Jeremiah O’Brien was essen
tially a product of New England and
lived in a section far remote from Ala
bama. It, perhaps, would havfe been
more appropriate for a representative
from an Eastern district to have in
troduced the bill; but, in my opinion,
patriotism obliterates all sectional
lines, and the Intrepidity our hero
never failed to manifest, and which
shrank not from the most appalling
dangers, has become the general herit
age of the American republic. By the
Introduction of this bill I but proclaim
the common loyalty and devotion of
Ihe Southern people to the old flag and
to 'a Union that none can sever.’ The
‘war of the roses,’ the white and red.
is ended forever.
"The Interests of the North and
South are identical. National legisla
tion enacted by Congress affects both
sections alike. We have one constitu
tion and obey the same laws. Yielding
each to the other reciprocal dues, It
has resulted under the Infallible guid
ance and ordinances of God that we
are now everywhere blessed with peaca
and plenty, happiness and prosperity.
The only real liberator is Truth, and
she makes none free save those who
strive to break their own fetters.”
