TOO EXCITING FOR CR0KER
Ex-Tammany Chief, Like So Many
Others, Succumbed to the Fasci-
nation of Stevenson.
The ideas of Richard Croker do not
run on bookish lines. Regretting this
circumstance and considering that a
taste for literature, once inculcated,
might be a source of pleasure in his
advanced years, a journalistic friend
who crossed the Atlantic with the one-
time chieftain of Tammany hall not
long ago cornered him in the steam-
ship's library one evening and ob-
tained a reluctant permission to read
"Treasure Island" to him.
Much to his friend's encouragement,
Mr. Croker listened with unfeigned in-
terest until the lights went out and
apparently enjoyed the narration of
the exciting events of John Morgan,
Billy Bones, Black Dog, John Silver
and the others. Wherefore, finding
Mr. Croker in the library the next
evening, the Journalist again pro-
duced his volume of Stevenson and
drew up a chair. But the one-time
Tammany chieftain lifted a protesting
hand.
"Don't read that book to me any
more," he said. "I couldn't get to
sleep last night for thinking about
those fellows."
FAR AS HE COULD GO.
BAB CASE
OF GRIP
Caused Sore Throat and Ton*

Mr. W. H.
Housley,
Green v ille,
Ten n e s see,
writes:
"Five years
ago I took a
very severe
cold which
result ed in
la grippe. I
never was bo
bad off. 1
was in bed
several
weeks, and
when I did
get up I had
to n s 11 i t i s
and sore
throat.
"I tried to cure this for eighteen
months, but it gradually got worse. A
doctor advised me to have my tonsils cut
out, but I did not like the idea. Another
doctor examined me, and told me the
same thing. I finally got a bottle of
Peruna, and after I had taken one bottle
my throat was better. I bought and used
a dozen bottles, and saw I was going to
get well, and I did."
