After many intricate experiments , scientists have discovered methods for obtaining all the natural digestants. These have been com bined in the proportion found in the human body and united with substances that build up the digestive organs _ , making a compound called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you eat and allows all dyspeptics to eat plenty of nourishing food while the stomach troubles are being radically cured by the medicinal agents it contains. It is pleasant to take and will give quick relief. D. W. Loar. Can any one explain why it is that when a robbery is committed by two men , one man is always tall and the other short ? The law holds both matter and circulator t > f a counterfeit equally guilty. The dealer who sells you a dangerous counterfeit of De- Witt's \Vitch Hazel Salve risks your life to make a little larger profit. You can not trust him. DeWitt's is the only genuine and orig inal Witch Hazel Salve , a well known cure for piles and all skin diseases. See that your dealer gives you DeWitt's Salve. D. W. Loar. Loar.W. W. T. Stead says the Chinese war will last 300 years. Well , if he has correctly sized it up , our sigh of relief when it closes will be all the more fervent. Constipation , impaired digestion and a tor pid liver , are the most common ailments that are responsible for that tired , listless , fagged- out feeling that makes the summer a dreaded period to so many people.

But bear in 3j mind these words of warning : 95 per cent , of nickel cigars are impure ; that is they are made of scraps of inferior tobacco and doctored. As a rule they are machine made , and no machine has yet been found that will make a cigar as well as the hands. D. B.

When the Family IB Broke , the Wife DlKS n Little Gold. "When I was In the Olancho district , In Nicaragua , " said a visitor who la largely Interested In mining In Central America , "I had an opportunity of see ing bow the lazy natives tap nature's till when they need some small change. "Near our camp by the river was a hut occupied by a typical Honduranian family , consisting of husband and wife , grandfather and grandmother and a dozen or so of assorted children. The only one of the crowd who did anything except rest and smoke was the wife. At Intervals of perhaps a week she would sally out with the family tlnpan , erstwhile used for cookIng - Ing , and proceed to an old placer dig ging on the river hank. There she would squat , throw a few gourdfuls of dirt Into the pan , fill It with wa ter and begin the usual circular motion of gold washing- . "She was very skillful and would keep a little sheet of dirty water sprayIng - Ing over the edge like a miniature cataract. When the water was ex hausted , a few spoonfuls of sand would he left In the bottom of the pan , and , spreading it out thin with a bit of stick , she would go over It grain by grain , looking for 'color. ' Whenever she saw a speck of gold she moistened the stick on her tongue and picked up the particle by adhesion. Each bit of the precious metal was stored away In a quill , plugged with clay at the ends , and I have known her to take out as much as a quarter of an ounce in the course of one day. "Usually her limit was about ? 2 , and when she got that she stopped. Then the head of the house would arise languidly and start for the near est store , 12 miles away. Sometimes he would trade the whole amount for whisky ; hut , as a rule , he brought back tobacco , salt , meal or calico. "There are hundreds of native fami lies who live In exactly that manner In Olancho. Sometimes the woman will be lucky enough to strike a rich pocket that will yield a dollar or more a pan , but they never dream of washIng - Ing it out at once and getting a stake. It simply means that they can secure their usual amount with less work. " New Orleans Times-Democrat. NO "PROPERTY" ESCAPES. Some Queer Things to Be Seen In a. C 111 M cue Theater. Over the audience rests a settled , Immovable stillness , unbroken even by SLr-S k. % osfxpoasleu referable to sorrow , sympathy , joy or tears lightens the blank , dead wall of the faces. The Chinaman is impregnable. Only once do his eyes change , and that is while the property man Is on the stage , and he Is never off it. The Chinese property man sees hi ° duty to the management and puts it Into practical effect. No "property" shall escape him. He gathers all things by the way. When the Chinese Romeo slays Tybalt , the property man steps on to the stage , gathers up Tybalt's sword , cap and cloak and things and walks off with them. He would ente Macbeth's banquet hall while that 'i ' weak kneed monarch was exercising * Banquo's ghost , gather up the goblets ( and plates in one arm and Macbeth's chair with the other and carry ther- away. He would pluck the roses from Elaine's breast ; he would take the dagger fro'u Juliet's dead hand ; he would interrupt Hamlet's soliloquy In the churchyard with a request for Yorlck's skull , and he would Interpose in the murder of Desdemona to remove the pillows from her bed. Saqui Smith in Leslie's Weekly. London' ! * Great Clock. Whatever complaints may be made against the tone of Big Ben , the famous - mous London clock and musicians say It Is a terribly bad "E , " at any rate every one will acknowledge that the clock in the house of commons tower Is a wonderful timekeeper , not vary ing a second In time all the year through. The mechanism for setting In motion the massive hammer which * brings out the tone of Big Ben's 1C ton bell is very Interesting. The strik ing machinery is driven by weights of about a ton and a half , which hang on a shaft 174 feet deep , and It Is so ar ranged that after the chimes are over the hammer falls on the big bell with in one second of Greenwich mean time. Books. When I consider what some books have done for the world and what they are doing , how they keep up our hope , awaken new courage and faith , soothe pain , give an Ideal life to those whose homes are bird and cold , bind together distant ages and foreign lands , create new worlds of beauty , bring down truths from heaven , I give eternal blessings for this gift.
