Catarrh in some form, catarrh in some stage lurks as an enemy in the slightest cough or cold and finishes its fiendish work in heart disease and consumption. No tissue, function, or organ of the body escapes its ravages muscles wither, nerves shatter, and secretions dry up under its blighting presence. So stubborn and difficult of cure is this disease that to invent a remedy to cure chronic catarrh has been the ambition of the greatest minds in all ages. Is it therefore any wonxler that the vast multitude of people who have been cured of chronic catarrh by Pe runa are so lavish in their praise of this remedy? That the discovery of Peruna has made the cure of catarrh a practical certainty is not only the testimony of the people, but many medical men declare it to be true. As a drag store in this age of the world is incomplete without Peruna, it can be obtained anywhere with di rections for use.

Our leisure class is small, our working world very large. Many of onr leading citisens of great wealth are hard workers. Our laboring classes are found in herds and hordes in the hives of industry." What is all this work for? In most cases it is i'or daily bread, in many for maintenance of others. Great numbers also work to acquire wealth. Some for great commercial prominence. Some to preserve-intact a splendid inheri tance. Necessity, generosity and ambition arc the inspiration of all classes of indus try, and the object of every one falls to the ground when ill-health attacks him, Maintaining health is the most vital thing in the world for workers of every class, and the usefulness of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, as a strengthener of the constitutional and vital powers, is beyond all question. This great. remedy enters into partnership with Nature and helps human beings do their work without giving up to prema ture decay. The strain of work is on the minds of some, on the bodies of others, but the nourishing of either, or both, is in the nerves and blood. Nervura acta directly on the fountains of health and its strengthening power is wonderful. Dr. Greene's NERVURA for the Blood and Nerves.

(Ccpyrlfht, JMO: Dally Story Pub. Co.) Smce Aslaug, Knut Husaby's pretty daughter, had grown into a youug and charming woman, there was little peace in the village of Husa'oy. Day and night the hardy lads of the neigh borhood engaged in wordy and fistic quarrels on her account. The climax was reached in the inn on Saturday night, when some of the boys had im bibed too much. Knut Husaby would not thin't in those days of going to sleep on Satur day night without keeping his big leather boots on. He was also sure to have a heavy oak cane next to his bed for emergency, as he called it. "Since God has bestowed a pretty daughter on me, it will be my duty to keep her from harm," he would say. Thore Naesset was t!fe son of the butcher, a strapping young fellow, full Of grit and daring. Gossipers said that Thore visited Aslaug more frequently than did any of the other young men of the village. This rumor did not please Knut. In fact, he denied it, saying that he had never seen Thore and Aslaug together. But the people laughed and winked at this. They in sisted that Thore was a sly lover anJ that Aslaug knew how to hoodwink her father. Tho spring came, anil Aslaug drove the cattle to the top of the Aim moun tain. As tho sun slowly descended in the horizon and far above the steep, cool rock3 of the mountain, the bel lowing of the cows, the barking of the dog, and the yodel of Aslaug re sounded over the valley, the lads, who were working in the meadows, felt as it they would like to cast away their scythes and pitch forks and rush up the steep paths to court the fair singer. When Saturday night came there was a race between them to reach the mountain top, but they descended much more rapidly, for behind .the door of the cattle shed a stalwart man was hidden, who gave each and every caller a pugilistic reception, and toM them that if they wanted a more se vere drumming at another time to call again. The wooers knew that there was only one man iu all Husahy who could boast 6f the possession of such a strong fist as that possessed by Thore Naesset. Some of the rich peasants' ions of the neighborhood thought that it was a shame that this common butcher was permitted to lord it thus on top of the mountain and to keep all wooera away from the beautiful As laug. Old Knut was of the same opinion when he was told of the bold doings of Thore and he boasted everywhere that if there was no one in Husaby who could conquer Aslaug's favorite, ha "What do you want of me?" and his son would show that they could do it in short order. Knut, It is true, was beginning to age visibly. He was 60 years old, but despite this he would now and then engage in a bout with his son in the barn yard, and prove a formidable an tagonist. Only one path led to the top of the Aim, and it wended its way across Knut's farm. On the following Satur day night when Thore wanted to as cend the mountain and i^as passing by the side of the barn, he suddenly felt the grip of a strong arm around his throat. "What do you want of me?" asked Thore. He swung himself around dextrously and threw his assailant into the thicket "You will know soon enough what we want of you," said another, Who dealt him a severe blow on his breast This was Aslaug's brother. "Here comes the third one," re joined Old Knut, who had meanwhile managed to extricate himself from the bushes, and with these words Thor re ceived another telling blow. In the face of danger Thor's strength was doubled. His prowess came him to stead, tor two. muscular giants had attacked. In the end, however, de Bpite his agility and power, Thore got a jiard beating and when blood began to flow freely Knut called a halt and added: "Now, Thore, if you can best my brother. Wolf Husaby, and his son next Saturday night, then my lass will be yours." Thora was so badly injured that he Siad to remain in bed over Sunday. On Monday also he was so Worn out from the fight that he was not able to go to Work in his father's shpp. Tuesday came. It was a balmy day. The sun shine brightened jhis room. He beard -tbw be^3 of the grazing cattle and his btflovifd warbled her pretty Norse] jhf* '-a*: s®y jupfc songs and yodels till he thought hi* heart would break. Wednesday came and he still lan guished on his couch. He did not be come convalescent until Saturday morning, and then he was not welf enough to meet Knut's challenge to battle with his big brother and nephew. He looked longingly toward the narrow path which led to the side of Aslaug. His sweetheart's yodel again trilled through the silent valley. He knew that if he would attempt to make his way to her that evening he would receive another drubbing that would send him-to bed for some time to come. "I must climb the Aim some other way," reasoned Thore. Toward dawn he unmoored his boat and rowed along the shore of the almost perpendicular rock, hoping against hope to find some foothold and some way of ascending the Aim from the water side. After the day's work Aslaug sat on the summit of the mountain. She did not anticipate that Thore would be able to come to her that night, but she knew that others would come in his stead. She unchained her fathful shepherd dog and began to knit. She was sitting with her face turned to ward the home of Thome, but the mist began to rise sa that she could not even distinguish the tree tops. She moved over to the other side, and there she sat dreaming for a long time with her eyes riveted on tbe vast sea. 1 he iew filled her soul with unspeak able peace. Suddenly she relt a desire to give vent to her feelings in loud melody. Aslaug sat on the summit, of the mountain. She sang the songs of childhood, the ditties of the village, the Norse nation al song, and her music sounded weiro. in the siient nisht. Then she thought that some one was answering her. "What, in the world can this be?" she asked herself. "It cannot be the pcho, lor I am facing the sea." She advanced to the edge of the rock and swinging her arms around a slen der tree she searchS-3 the wall of the &tecp mountain. But it was quiet and peaceful on the fjord not a bird fiew over it Aslaug returned to her grassy couch and again began to sing. This time she could not be mistaken, tor it was indeed a human voice that jespoiided to her yodel. Again she rushed to the tree and took a long look down the Aim. At last she beheld a beat moored to a small branch that jotted out from the rock. Only some fifty feet below her, she saw a red cap, with a man under it making its way up tho slippery side when not even a mountain goat would dare to tread. She hurried back to her place, and dared not utter a note or word for fear that the intrepid wooer would be hurl ed down into the turbulent waters of the fjord. She knew very well who it was, though she did not see his face. She threw herself on the ground and held the long, heavy blades of grass with both hands, as if it werp her task not to lose her grip on what was once seized. But the grass roots began to loosen and in her despair she cried to God to aid Thore with His Omnipotence. Then again she began to think that such an act of Thore and such a prayer on her part were a gross temptation of God. Nevertheless she continued her supplications. "Only this time, dear Father in heaven, only this time," she cried. Then Aslaug slung her arms around the dog as if it was Thore whom she was trying to save from destruction. How long the time seemed! At last the dog tore himself loose and begar to bark lustily. 'Hush," she warned, but the dog would not'be quieted and when she had reached the animal to stop his noise the red cap peeped over the edge of the rock and the next minute Thore held her In his arms. They kissed and embraced each other again and again, and Thore could not utter a word, and what he finally said contained not an idea of rationality. Old Knut Husaby, however, when he beard of Thore's daring feat, said something in which there was plenty of common sense: "The lad is worthy of her—she shall be his." Kail-Bearing Watch. One of the most ingenious devices at the Paris fair is to be seen in the Swiss watch factory exhibit and con sists of a ball-bearing pocket time piece. The principle has already been applied to tho driving wheel of the clockmaker's throw and also for the winding arbor of clocks. Its applica tion to a watch, however, with satis factory results requires exceedingly line mechanism and minute balls. Tha watch was made by Leon Gruet, a foreman of a Parisian watch concern. In it the arbors roll on steel balls ot two sizes. It Is spoken of by com petent authorities as one of the most interesting horologienl pxhihits. Cronje and the Fish.
