There have been many stories of  wounded grouse getting safely away  from local hunters since the opening  of the hunting, season, but to-day  comes the firjst story of a dead  duck walking off. This morning Mr.  Williamson cut, or at least thought  he cut, a duck's head oft' with an  axe. Dropping the .bird, Mr. Williamson walked into the front part  of his shop, where he deposited his  books, which he had just, brought  down from the house, and then returned to the duck. All that remained of the latter, however, was  a little blood upon the floor, and a  ''iquack! qruacla!" floating in from the  back yard. Upon investigation it  was found that the bird's bead had  only been partially severed, and another operation   was necessary.  S. L. Jones, of Seattle, and Samuel -������.

Plumacher,  American consul at Maracaibo, Ven  ezuela has decided that the dread  malady is not contagious, but is hereditary to a degree not reached in  other diseases.  He has made an exhaustive report to the state departmunL telling  of his personal attendance upon lepers aUlicted in the most revpltiing  form. His report indicates that 'leprosy is curable, but that there is  little-hope in Venezuela or other Lat-  iu, American, leper colonies where nu-  * tritioiis foods and expensive foods  are  rarely provided. __  Dr. l-'lurnachor was appointed to  iMaracaibo in 1S7S, where in jointure with his duties as consul he has  constantly observed leper cases anil  ���������their treatment and where he experimented in no small way. In this.he  has - the benefit of correspondence  with the most advanced scientists fqf  the United States and Europe, and  it was through bis efforts that the  " Tua Tua " plant used in treating  the disease is now planted in alt  countries which have leper stnlioivs.  'At the request, of these scientists the  ���������doctor took a large number of phot o  graphs of lepers, personally removing the bandages of the afilicfed in  order that the results might be obtained. ' Tfc was prophesied then that  he would contract the disease, but  this  did not happen.   o ������������������  Havana, Sept. 14 .-���������Gen.

A Resident of Wetland  Finds Relief in Pe-ru-na,  SUFFERED  YEARS.  Mr. Ozial Rounds, Wolta-nd, Out., a  rotired lumberman and a resident of  Wetland for half a century, writes:  "For fifteen years prior to 1900 I  was a sufferer from hay asthma and  chronic diarrhea. I grew weak and  emaciated and was tortured with insomnia.  "I was treated by eminent physicians  but, if anything, was worse than ever.  In fact, I was in as miserable a condition as a man could be.  ���������'However, J chanced to try Peruna  and noticed an improvement. Thus  encouraged, J continued, and after taking several bottles of your precious  Peruna, I was entirely well and a  wonder to myself and friends.  "If, at my advanced age, S3 years, I  have obtained such good results from  Peruna, after so many years of needless  suffering, there can be no doubt of its  efficacy in the treatment of younger  uersons."  1IFS' DOOb. ,������������������������ ������������������  CSUULSL JULft AJULSO  jMinatd's"  where.
