She went to Denvtr, and there met

They were the only parents the child

The judge was sympathetic with
Mrs. Van Woolsey, but he sided with

Giant Liners Sped Across the
Atlantic Ocean.
WERE NEVER LOST TO SIGHT.
Lapland and Amerika Only Pew Miles
Apart From Fire Island to English
Channel—Passengers Up Early and
Late to Watch Rivalry—Short Dis
tance Between as Contest Ended.
It falls to the lot of comparatively
few voyagers across the Atlantic to
enjoy the excitement of a race from
Fire island to the English channel in
such measure as did those on the Ham
burg-American and Red Star liners
Amerika and Lapland, respectively.
Tho former arrived nt Plymouth Sat
urday night, June 2G, while the latter
reached Dover Sunday morning.
For seven days and nights the two
great vessels plowed the selfsame un
ruffled seas almost side by side. So
evenly matched were they in speed
that their logs were almost identical,
and, although for five and a half days
the Amerika held her rival half to a
quarter of a mile astern, she could not
shake her off and finally turned into
Plymouth with the Lapland only a
Cow hundred yards behind.
The Amerika left her wharf at
no-
boken at 10 o'clock Saturday morning,
June 19. The Lapland followed an
hour later and was closely followed
down the bay by the White Star liner
Baltic. The Cunarder Carmania and
the American liner New York preced
ed the three. When the Lapland clear
ed Ambrose channel the Amerika waa
some ten miles ahead, her hull just
below the horizon, and the New York
was still visible.
The weather conditions were perfect,
with a smooth sea and light air from
the southward. These conditions pre
vailed for four full days and nights or
until Thursday midnight, when the
wind freshened from the southeast
ward and long, rolling head seas set in
In which the steamers pitched easllj
with small If any diminution of theii
speed.
The Baltic was left astern the first
night out of New York, and the New
York was not caught up with, although
at nil times only a few miles ahead
and constantly in wireless communica
tion with the Amerika, Lapland and
Carmania. The Carmania drew to the
southward the first night and crawled
up a little on the Amerika and Iap
land, but all Sunday nnd Monday was
plainly visible, as were her lights nt
nt^'ht on tho southern horizon. She
passed out of sight Tuesday morning
early.
Meantime the Amerika and the Lap
land steamed on. Great was the ex
citement of the passengers on both
boats as hour after hour one would
seem to gain and the other to lose, or
vice versa. By Thursday afternoon
the ships were almost abeam, about
half a inile apart. The afternoon was
unusual, for the midocean swell of the
morning had subsided, the sky was
cloudless, the air cool and fresh.
Smoke joured In volumes from the
funnels of both liners as they sped
along.
It was quite evident both were being
pushed to their best speed. The In
terchange of numerous messages be
tween friends from one to the other
steamer kept the Marconi operators
busy all day nnd far Into the night.
The contest, in fact, greatly relieved
the tedium of the voyage. Many were
those who sat up late on each boat
and rose at unwontedly early hours to
watch tho race.
Friday was cold and clear, with a
strong north wind on tho beam of both
boats. The Amerika now drew to the
southward, and the steamers ran still
parallel courses, but farther apart
some four miles, in fact—than at any
time since they left New York. At
midnight Friday the lights of each
vessel were Just distinguishable from
the other, and it was with a sense of
loss and disappointment that good
nights were said. But Saturday morn
ing, -which again brought a smooth
sea, sunlight nnd light northerly wind,
revealed the fact that In the hours of
darkness the ships had again drawn
near to each other and were then only
a scant mile apart, the Amerika to the
southward.
The Lapland's passengers saw at
once that the race was probably theirs,
as the Amerika would have to bear to
the north to make Plymouth during
the afternoon after the Scllly islands
were passed, while the Lapland pur
sued her course to Dover. This, they
hoiied, would force the Amerika to
pass astern of the Lapland, and this
hoje also explained why the Lapland
had kept l«aring to the north on
Thursday when she had about over
hauled her rival. That move had
forced what seemed now likely to oc
cur.
As the hours of Saturday passed the
excitement on both vessels increased
as they drew nearer and nearer. At 3
o'clock they were almost abeam, the
Amerika slightly in the lead. The pas
sengers crowded the rails and watched
for the result with eager. exiectant
eyes. Closer and closer drew the ships,
and nt 3:20, just as Bishop's rock was
sighted, the Amerika put on a burst
of speed, drawing ahead of the Lap
land, crossed the tatter's bows only a
few hundred yards away, and kept
ahead for three hours until she went
into Plymouth.
Thus the race of seven days and
three hours, all acroes the north At
lantic, closed with a scant victory for
the derman boat -London Special Ca
ble to New York Timea.

ne thing more. When a person lives
Wrongly,or acqnires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body to right itself against de
rangements. This Is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he wets bis
finger in his mouth, then blows on it
for the cooling effect. This Is no cure.
II e knows it very well. But it makes It
feel Ix'tter for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dy spepsla or indigestion. The only
rational cure is to cat correctly. Yet if
palliative is at hand the pains of indi
gestion can be mitigate, the throes of
dyspepsia assuaged. Tho medicine can
not t* said to have cured. It simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
oure must come through right living.
Take Pernna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia*
But Peruna will stimulate the stouiaeh
to perform its function properly. Peru
na will increase tho flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. It w 111 increase the
relish of food, tho appetite.
It is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, bnt there
are so many peoplo who either w ill not
or do not know how to
eat correctly that
a tremendous amount of good can be
done by the wise use of Peruna.
A stoinaeh that has been frequently
abused performs the function of diges
tion very tazily. Such a stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after it is swallow«d. This leads
to fermentation of tho food. Sour stom
ach is tho result. This goes on week
after week, until tho blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition is very apt to produce rheum
atism.
It is not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum
atism but correct living. But it is
flat mod that Peruna will assist a badly
&bused stomach to .perform its work.

the lungs and develop
into pneumonia. Avoid counterfeits by
insisting upon having the genuine Fol
ey's Honey and Tar, which contains no
harmful drugs.—J. 11. Anderao.
If a person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating aud tenijx rate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, tbe L1kx1 would rid itself of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are a
multitudoof people who will notorcan
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is a boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta
tion of tho food, brtngs about normal
digestion, and all the train of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or thoBe who
havo acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna do«s not cure, but it assists the
powers of Nature to bring aUuit a euro.
The whip does not increase the power
of the horse to pull a load, but judi
ciously used it stimulates tho horse to
use his powers at tho right time, with
out which he could not havo pulled the
load.
This illustrates tbe effect of Pernna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys
tem. Taken at tho right time, it calls
forth the powers of the human system
to meet tho en- roach men
ts of disease,
and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to substi
tute medicine in the place of right liv
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove a disaster. But an occasional use
of tho right medicine at tho right time
is a godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny it.
Those w ho know how to use Pernna
find it of untold vatuo. By and by the
world will get wise enough so that
through correct living no medicine at
all will lie needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the mtwntime, while
tbe world is approaching that perfeo
tion in which all medicine will be elim
inated, Peruna is a handy remedy to
have in tho house.
Blight derangements of tho stomach
