Mork Ustkioii TuouonTS: The long
legged friend of needy milliners, with
his downy thighs and tufted tall, is
ealled in again to point n moral by
moans of that silly head which ho bobs
into the sand to shut out all sight of
the world. Unliko him, his human
counterpart ranges through every
climate, unfeathered and unhouoied
Some oven are in your community.
LoJ us at them and bo done with our
bird pointer for a while.
Thou monoy-lover, with uot only
head but heart bent down behind a few
ringing coins; through a world whose
beauties and noblest joys ate to theo
invisible, the avenger is stealthily ap
proaching. A little twinge of pain
somowho;o. a little munbness in your
brain,' a. greut deal of turning hither
and tbltuor to famed physicians what
arotheso but warniucrs of your fate?
Your tiny heap seems so impoitautto
you that you thrust away the very
thought of death and feverishly desire
to feel forever tho magic thrill of
wealth within your grasp. You long
to get more; you build it up around
you like a wall. Foolt Helped by
wenltb jou may Hy on tho wings of the
moroisg to the uttermost parts of the
earth, but jwlfter than the shadow of
an eclipse the arrow of death will
teach yuuitnd then what have youv
Tho heap that you trusted in, as n for
tress with trouble-fJi oof basllonn, will
not save you from the glu.iug cj e ami
tho rattling throat, the clammy sweat
and the vague picking at the bed
clothes. These are yours by a common
humanity and when they come to you,
nothiug material can be taken away
into tho darkness. Something cannot bo
taken away from nothing; your life is
nothiug as you have lived it You will
close your eyes and Ho lifeless besldo
the boloved wealth that has already
closed your eyes to the needs of tho
palpitating woi Id of misery.
Hut do I intimate that only onlinary
death experiences will come to youV
Niii, if I do, I lie; for there will be an
outstretching of other eager hands
toward your golden heap they ate
even now waiting for jour death in or
der to scramble for your possessions,
and, as likely as uot, behind fragments
of your .'oul's-all will crouch another
generation of fools. Is that alii No;
for If you love wealth more than kind
ness; if you gather fiom oppressions;
if you wiong and eheatin older to rake
more and more niouutl you, your
memory will he crusted over with
gangrenous hatreds, Pleasant and
wonderfully useful though money may
he, have you indeed chosen the belter
puitof it in contenting yourself with
acquisition r Under tho ell'ort your
head with its noble powers, is bowed
lower even Mull the animals' who by
getting give ami, having done all, stand
to serve humanity Hut you get hikI
give not, and thesetvice of humanity
in any foun i out of your range of
vision; your bend is too low.

Thou fashionable woman, hiding thy
nakedness behiud frumperies that
change with the changing daj ; con
tenting thyself with a world limited by
patterns and lounded out by tlounccs;
thou art also among the ostriches.
Prinking ami pruning ami phllandoi-
ing, covered with the products of
creatures more gentle, and with
(lowers more fair than youtself, you go
youi way as though tho body were
more important than the mind, neglect
ful of the fact that the mind adorned
ami the spirit sweetly ami gently eulti
vated will last long after the skin has
wiinkled ami tho eyes have lost their
sparkle. Compaied with the fabric of
your mind, jour body is but a basting
thread. Yet behind a contemptible
hillock of clothes you bow your beauti
ful h ail until you no more see the
wid j woi Id of noble wo wan hood to
which you 111 e surely called. How sel
fish you are! Your father needs must
deck you though his uged head calls
for rest; you cry, "(Jive, give;" to both
father and husband not that you may
make any return either to them or to
the woi II. You circle around
yourself, you admire yourself, you
gel pleasure in humbling those
less gorgeous. Do you rail that living?
Can you by any .stietch of your per
v ci ted mind, satisfy yourself that your
powers were given you just to fiillill
the function of a ill ess form. If that
wen all, bent wiies with ellicla cover
ing could (ill your place in the world.
Silly ostrich, when the avenger reaches
for you, and your place knows you no
mote forever, what will you leave?
Clothes! whereat oven the servant will
tlout in a little while. Upon my soul,
life is not worth the effort of living, if
that is all it can be made to bring
forth.

"lor live weeks I lived on cold water
so to speak," writes a man who suffer
ed terribly from indigestion. 4
lie could hardly keep auylhiug on
his stomach. What stayed, wasn't
properly digested and gave him terri
ble pangs.
This is not an uncommon case. Dys
peptics don't get enough nourishment.
They are generally thin and weak.
They may cat enough, but they dou't
digest enough. Much of what they eat
turns into poison. If this keeps on
theie's no telling what disease they
may get next.
That's why it is best to tako Shaker
Digestive Cordial, as soon as symptoms
of indigestion appear.
It cuies all the evils of indlgcMiHU,
and prevents the evils which indiges
tion causes.
