DYSPEPSIA CURE IN ALLOPATHIC DOSES
Hide tn n liny Wnjton Illvora nnd Sundry
Adventure * of Two Young1 Women
Who Would A-Wnlk-
Ing Uu.
It was a warm summer day ; but through
HUB cool parlor of the Carters' an Omaha
zephyr raced right merrily. Seated upon the
couch wa Kittle , the sister of Mrs. Carter ,
who had come to spend the summer with
her , a plump , brown eyed girl , full of ( un
end always ready for a frolic. Mrs. Carter
Was a thin , agllo person , who did not remain
In one place long enough to get fleshy. She
could laugh and not grow fat. They were
talking oC a friend who had just loll them.
"To think , " said Mrs. Carter , "that she
expects to walk to Belleville to visit her
Jrlend. " If she can walk down there why
can't we walk out to Mrs. J'a ? You know
we've promised to go to see her and it would
T > e lots of fun to walk the twelve miles. "I'm
with you/ ' said Kittle. "When sliall we
BtartT"
"Well , I'll write to Mrs. J. today nnd warn
lier of the calamity that is about to befall
lier. Thla Is Monday how would Thursday
dot Slio will receive my card ton.ouow
and on Wednesday can pack her valise and
leave lor nirts unknown or flay t home
and kill the fatted chicken for us , just as
eho chooses. Won't she bo horrllled at our
walking but there , though ? "
Thursday dawned bright nnd clear ; hut lorg
before dawn Mrs. Carter was awake , wonder
ing why she bad to wake up at 2 o'clock
Instead of four and thereby lose two good
tours of Bleep. Not arriving at any solution
cf the problem , she concluded to get up and
dress and arouse her sister. This list was
no easy matter. After five minutes diligent
ehaklng. Miss Kittle consented io cpen her
eyes and Inquire what was the matter. Mri.
Carter calmly explained that this was the
day of their trip to the country and It was
now 4 o'clock nnd she had better get up and
dress. After a painful effort Kittle succeeded
in doing so and they proceeded to gulp c'own
eundry articles of food , washing tbcm down
with some coffee.
Packing up some cinnamon rolls and put-
Ing on their hats , they sallied forth at 4:45 :
n. m. Mrs. Carter was dressed In a preen
wool dress , the bottom of which the had
turned up several Inches , a wide brimmed
black leghorn hat. crowned with a nodding
red poppy. A black silk handbag waj thrown
pracofully over her shoulder , Kittle wore a
brown wool dress and a sailor hat. They
carried no baggage except the handing and
cinnamon rolls ,
Oiy two friends had now come to Shcr-
jnan nvenuo crossing , so they squeezed
through a barbed wire fence , and went north
on the avenue. After reaching the little sta
tion called North Omaha , they again struck
the track which led to Florence. As ilowers
were plentiful along the way. they often
Etopped to gather them. They also picked up
a couple of spikes to use as weapons In case
of an attack. You may Judge what a fear
ful weapon of destruction a spike six Inches
long would be. In the hands of a woman too
scared to use It.
With Uio spike In one hand and the
flowers In the other , the girls went gaily on.
\\l\en suddenly from around a curve , about
n quarter of a mile away , came two men.
"You may do as you like. " said LotUo ,
' "but I'm going up that hill ; I don't want to
meet those men. I've forty cents In cash ,
BOIUO valuable papers and my membership
card to the Woman's club In my pocketbook ,
nnd I don't want to be robbed. Those men
even at this distance look like thieves. "
"Well , 1'vo got 20 cents. " said Kittle ,
' "which Is n ble pile of money these days ,
nnd I don't want to lose It either. Still I'm
not afraid. You know wo have these spikes ,
and wo can easily slay any one with them. "
"I don't care , I'm going up that hill just
the same , I don't want to get this spike
ll over gore. I want to take tioino aud glU
It and hang It up as a souvenir of this trip.
Come on now , I'm going. "
Plunging through weeds up to their knees
and seemingly regardless of snakes , they
made their way to the fence and such a
fence ! fully nvo feet high , with the wires
strung so tightly and to close together that
a mosquito could not get through It.
"Hut , " grumbled Lottie , "the man who built
this fence had more money than brains. He
might have known some one would want to
get through. Ho might have left one wire
out anyway. Hut since we can't get through
it , wo might aa well go back and meet those
men. I'll , keep my eatlo ; eye on the one In
gray and you can watch the one In brown. "
So saying , they turned toward the track
again , and succeeded In passing the men
safely. ( They were two green looking
Swedes , who were as much scared at meet
ing the girls as the latter were at them. )
The girls were decorated with flowers
wherever one could bo pinned on , until the
supply of pins gave out. Then they sang
'Annie ' Uooney , " "After the Ball , " "Septem
ber , " etc.
"Shall wo go straight up Sherman avenue
and take the railway track ? " asked Kittle.
"I think some one might object If we took
the track , but wo can go down and walk up
the track as far as Florence , " said Lottie ,
"and then saunter over the hills. "
Down the hill and up the track they went ,
meeting no one. It was a perfect morning ;
the sun was Just rising nnd the eastern skies
were tinged with gold and crimson. Cut Off
lake , In the distance , shone like a crescent
of silver , and the trees gaily nodded a wel
come to our travelers , aa they stepped
briskly along.
"How beautiful It Is ! The sleeping thou
sands do not know what they miss when
they He in bed till seven In the morning. "
remarked Lottie , who had a mania for early
rising. "I would not miss It for the world ;
there Is something so peaceful about It. I
wish I were able to write yards of poetry on
the subject. The trouble with me Is , I can
think beautiful thoughts , but when I go to
say them or write them down , they all fly
away from me. "
"Yes , It's the same way with mo , nnd I ,
too. love a beautiful morning , after I am up
but I do hate to get up , " said Kittle , "but
you had better look where you are going and
let the shies alone for awhile. Hero comes
a train , and we'd bettor not dispute Its right
to this track It might end disastrously for
our trip. "
"That's so. " eald Lottie , "and did you
over think tint trains were like men ? It
wont do to let them run over you , you
know. "
"Yes , nnd they do lots of snorting nnd
putting , too , " laughed Kittle , "making lots
of fuss over nothing , like some men I know.
But look at that brakeman ; he's waving at
us. It's a pity they are not going our way ,
wo might catch a ride. "
"But then wo wouldn't bo walking , and
you know we started out to walk. " "Oh ,
dear , eo wo did. "
Here the brakeman arrived opposite and
called out : "Hello , girls. " Not receiving
any reply , he went on : "Say , there's plenty
of coal further up the track. " The girls
laughed. "Evidently ho thinks wo are out
after coal and that your hand bag Is a coal
sack. " laughed Kittle.
"I llko that Idea , " said Lottie , "but It's
lucky for Mm that he's out of rr" reach. He
will never know what he's escappJ. "
It wai a jolly time they were having , and
many a weary mile was passed before they
began to be tlreil. Then Kittle remarked
that It was time Mrs. J'a house put In an ap
pearance , for she was sure she had walked
twenty miles.
"Never mind , my dear girl , " said Lottie ,
"we will soon be there , but let's alt down and
eat up these cinnamon rolls. They're get
ting sticky and I'm tired of carrying them.
Wo will put them where they'll do the most
good. "
"All , right , I'm glad you mentioned It ; I
knew there was something I wanted , and I
guess It was to stop and eat. Hero's a sott
tpot In the dust that we can sit on. We
might as well sit In the middle of the road
as on the side , for the weeds are covered
with dust and there's nothing elio to sit on
but a barbed wire fence. "
"Can't you dust off those weeds a little ? "
asked Lottie. "Oh , well , all right ; I don't
care much , anyway. Here Is your roll ; can
you catch It ? I will wrap It up In paper ; It
might fall In the dust , " suiting the action
to the word.
"You might get a reserved seat a little
nearer at this festive board , " said Kittle.
"It Is hardly the correct thing to sling
aroutid the refreshment * la such a reckless
* _ _
style. I do wish I had a drink , but I guess
I can stand It for an hour or so longer. You
didn't bring any pickles did you , my sister ?
If not , may I ask why not ? "
"Well , I couldn't carry everything , " an
swered Lottie. "I might have brought a
mince pie , too. and a bucket of water , but
as I did not let us make the best of It. "
"What's that I see coming up the road an
empty hay wagon , and going our way , too.
You ask him If we can ride with him , won't
you , Kittle ? "
"I'll do no such thing , ask him yourself , "
said Kittle , hastily gulping down the last of
her roll.
"Well , here goes , then , " said Lottie , as the
man approached. "Mr ! Will you let us ride
a little way with you ? "
"Yes , ' Indeed , Just get right in , " an
swered the man , as he stopped his chariot.
But It's not a very easy matter to get Into
a vehicle of that description. You have to
climb up from the back , and like enough the
loose boards will fly up and hit you on the
nose. To prevent this catastrophe the man
stood on the boards aud took hold of the
girls' hands and assisted them In. It seemed
a shaky affair , but the girls were too tired
to care much. They had walked nine miles
of the twelve and were perfectly satisfied
that they were pedestrians.
"We may never have another chance to
ride In a hay wagon , " Kittle had said , and
it seemed wicked to let this chance go by
without accepting It. So they rode In the
hay wagon , as others had done before them.
But , alas ! Their Joy was soon turned to
grief. The jolting and the fearful dust which
rose In clouds soon made the girls wish they
had not been so eager for new experiences.
The man chatted pleasantly and amused them
with his Yankee talk. He told them of "the
derned dry spell of IS and the blamed wet
spell of the CDs , and of how he and his 'old
woman' had weathered the storms of life till
at last they bad a comfortable home and a
small bank account. He laughed heartily
when Kittle told him of the'Ir walk , and won
dered "what them city gals would do next. "
Of course , this conversation was carried on
In the loudest of keys , for the rumble and
jolting of the wagon made ordinary tones In
audible.
Even and anon , Lottlo would cast an ap
pealing look at her sister that Interpreted
meant , "Oh , do let's get out of here ; I'm
being shaken to death. " But Kittle posi
tively refused to understand ; she had enough
of walking for one day , at least.
Great clouds of dust arojo and obscured
the sun and Lottie shut her mouth tightly
and made up her mind to endure this jolting ,
for was she not to blame for It all ? She
had proposed the ride.
"There is always a bright Bide to every
thing If you look for It , and the bright sldo
to this Is that wo will soon be at Mrs. J's ,
and then , too , I have heard that a good shak
ing up would cura dyspepsia , " thought Lot
tie , "but I'm not sure that I care tq be cured
In this way. "
But all things come to an end. As tbey
drew up with a grand flourish at the J .
mansion , Lottie hoped that the entire family
\\ould come' to the window and see them de-
Bcrnd , but not a soul appeared. "Could they
have gene away ? " she asked herself rue
fully , after repeated knocks on the side door
brought no response. But as if In answer to
her question , the door opened and Mrs. J.
appeared la her churning costume. Surprise
was written on her countenance as she saw
who It was. Explanations followed and
brought out the fact that the postal card was
still at the postofllce , and , of course , they
were net looking for them. Mrs. J. could
hardly balleve the girls had walked most all
the way. Then they alt went out to the back
porch and took a drink of buttermilk.
After that poor Mrs. J. went back to her
churning , Kittle went to sleep and Lottie
Insisted on Ironing a few pieces. She felt
that she must do something' to keep herself
away. Such fun as they had , when Mr. J.
and the boys came home to dinner. The
girls were called "tramps , " but they re
taliated by eating everything In sight.
In the evening they went out driving and
viewed the beautiful landfcape from the
bluffs back of Calhoun. When night came
how sweetly and soundly they slept ; not even
the rushing tralni as they dashed by made
any 'mpreislon on their senses. When they
finally awoke they dressed and went down
stain to flnd Mr. J. gettlcg breakfast. He
was In the inldit of making graham gems ,
and , manlike , wanted the whole kitchen to
himself. He made such wild dashes at the
girls , holding a pan In one hand and a "bat
tery" pooa in the- other , that they Bought
refuge In the orchard until an unearthly
howl from the kitchen door announced the
fact that breakfast was ready.
Mr. J. proved himself a flne cook. Every
thing was flr t-class , and I should advise all
men to follow In his steps and learn how to
cook and get at least one meal a day.
After the work was done the women folks
went down to the field nnd visited the men
-folks awhile , and then they went out driv
ing. The time passed very pleasantly , and
on the next afternoon the girls were de
posited at their door , having been brought
home by Mrs. J. In the carriage. Beyond a
slight stiffness the day after their walk , the
girls did not feel any bad effects from the
trip. But tho' the lameness vanished , the
memory of their good time still remains to
remind them of the time "When the walking
was good. " LOLA CAULETON.

It Is lovely to have a grievance and be
able to express It , and today , this blessed
day. Is ours to say and do as wo please , for
once In our lives. So let's make the most of
It. As you take your walks abroad , have
you noticed what a rickety , rackety , cyclonic
appearance our city has , all for the want of
sense and firmness and good judgment In the
men who had the management of It ? For In
stance , the humps and bumps on many of
our streets , left to please some rich man ,
with no thought of the loss or detriment to
the poor man's property , or Injury to the
street , or of the neor hqrses compelled to
drag their heavy loads. Note the unsightly
hill with houses perched upon them , and no
effort made to compel people to Improve
them. If the city fathers exert themselves
as they sometimes feebly do , to grade off a
little bit , the poor man's Is the first to go.
Then the wrangling and trouble the poor
men have over their mayor , and chief of
police , and health board , garbage and milk
all at sixes and sevens , with nothing as It
should bo. I wonder lioxv , under such condi
tions , we live and have our being. It seems
to mo the men haveso signally failed In
running things It would be well to give the
women a show. Elect or appoint them to
some nt these offices BO badly filled by in
competent men , and note the marvelous
change under our able and skillful manage
ment of affairs. Life would be worth the
living. We merely exist now.
All this we kindly submit to the consider
ation of a long Buffering people , 'hoping for
better times and a day when we can call our
souls our own. As I raid before. It Is so
lovely to have a grievance and bo able to
express It. Respectfully.

GREAT SHOSHONE FALLS
Visit to One of America's ' llatural
YAmders.
PLEASANT VACATION TRIP TO NORTHWEST
After a Dull and Uninteresting Drive the
IScituty of the l'ills IB Lnpcclully
Cliurmliifr riciurpoquo Lava
Formation ) .
Great Shoshone falls , reached by the Union
Pacific railroad , might well bo classed among
the wonders of the world. Passengers hold
ing through tickets are entitled to the stage
drive from the town of Shoshone out to the
falls and return. The drive to the falls ,
a distance of twenty-five miles , Is un-
sage brush and over lava beds. But1 a lover of
nature would gladly take the drive were
It four times the distance to behold so grand
a sight as Shoshone Falls , Nearlng the
Journey's end , suddenly great rocks loom up
before one , and In the distance Is seen the
shores of Snake river. Driving between
some very high rocks of lava formation , the
load from this point Is down a fearfully
steep hill , possibly a mile in length , with
one turn In It. The road Is kept In good
order ; on one aids are Immense rocks , while
on the other Is a steep precipice. Half way
down the hill , the turn In the road Is
reached ; from this point , looking downward ,
one sees a small cabin and several acres
of garden and pretty green meadow. Pass
ing the cabin , the shore of Snake river is
reached ; the water of the river has on em
erald green appearance. Now we drive upon
a portable bridge or boat run by a cable.
Two men turn the crank , or windlass , nnd
thus we are carried across to the opposite
shore. At this point the river has been
Bounded to a depth of 200 feet , but the bottom
tom has not been reached. The water Is
very still , there being no apparent current.
Some 200 yards from the boat , however , a
ripple In the water Is noticed and the cur
rent becomes more and more awllt as the
river flows on toward the falls. Driving
along the bhore about a quarter of a mile
from the hotel , one cornea suddenly upon
the falls ; the most wonderfully grand sight
of Its kind Imaginable. What makes It so
wonderful ? First , Us Isolation , separated ns
It Is by so many miles from other points of
interest .to tourists. Second , the desolation
and barrenness of the surrounding country.
The road from Ilaymoml to Yoscmlto Val
ley Is all Interesting and beautiful ; to Sho-
Ehono falls it is barren and unattractive.
Third. The wild grandeur of the Immediate
vicinity. The river seems to flow through an
opening In the earth made by heat bursting
It apart. The hot lava thrown up has cooled
and hardened , layer upon layer , on either
side of the river , Irr the form of honeycomb ,
only not porous. These formations extend
along the river for about sixty miles , the
highest point of rocks being 900 feet. At a
point about 300 feet above the great falls
the Snake river is 1,000 feet wide ; there
sever.il small falls are noticed , Bridal Veil ,
bridal train , and otlien. Hushing along with
great rapidity suddenly a precipice 210 feet
high Is reached , over which the water dashes
with tremendous force , and rushing and
roaring In n foaming , seething mass leaps
Into the river below. The green water has
become white and foamy .like Nevada falls
In Yosemlte , only these are much larger.
Probably all the falls together In Yosemlte
would not make one Shoshone In width or
volume , 210 feet high and 700 foH wide. The
falls are so cltuated In the river that when
the sun Is shining it always rests upon the
fulls , and a glorious rainbow may be seen
In various positions all diy long. The hotel
Is cloze beside the falls , about 100 yards
front the river bank. From the piazza one
can tee the falls , but It we wish a nearer
view we walk to the gate and pass out upon
Point Lookout , just in front of the great
falls , where a closer and more beautiful view-
may be had. After looking for some time
we return to the piazza , but som go back to
Point Lookout , for there It something so
fascinating and awe iniplrlns about this
magnificent scene that It fills one with a dc-
Mre to look at it constantly. Two
days worn
spent at the falls during which time w e soo"
often upon Point Lookout , also unon the
naturalbridge [ and Lover's Leap" went down
the ladders and Incline to the shore of the
[ nfnclmW ? over rocl < a na driftwood
Into Diana's Bath
, an immense cave In a
rock , in which there Is a spring of dellclounly
cool water. The hollows In this
cave arcas
it small oysters or clam shells had been
there. This cave Is probably sixty feet high
anil tmrty feet In diameter. Another curious
cave visited Is known as Locomotive Cave ,
so called because of the Hissing , roaring
sound llko that of an engine , heard within
Us walls. An entire afternoon may be
spent In exploring the rocks and cavea nnd
gathering wild flowers along the shore of the
river. In the evening wo stand again upon
Point Lookout and view the glorious falls
by moonlight , and I try to think how I can
tell my friends of what I see. I retire , but
not to sleep , for the excitement and grandeur
has driven sleep from my eyes. If I fall
Into a doze it Is only tcx awaken again with
the lines of a familiar hymn running through
my mind :
"O ! could I ppealc the matchless worth ,
O ! could I sound the glories forth. "
But I feel that neither tongue nor pen
can describe , nor brush portray the marvelous
beauty and awful grandeur of the Great
Shoshone falls. Each one must see It for
hiniiclf to have any Idea of Its magnificence.
Next day wo drive up the river , two and
one-half miles , to the Twin falls , returned
to town In the afternoon by way of Blue
Lakes , two lovely llttlo sheets of water ,
which are blue ns Indigo , nestling In a deep ,
fertile valley where quantities of fruit and
vegetables are raised. The trip to Great
Shoshone falls Is one never to be forgotten
nnd should be taken. If passible , by all tour
ists who love the grand and beautiful In
nature. KLLA BHACKIN.
Is It Worth VUillr. . ?
Wit charms the fancy , wisdom guides the
fiense ;
To make men noble that Is eloquence.
What a stride on the ladder of spiritual
development this eloquence Is , not alone
growth and education of soul , but an out
ward expression of those higher emotions ,
expressed through a body well tuned , har
monious , ready for action.
We define elocution not as parrot fashion
Imitation , In a vain desire to excite pub
lic praise , but as soul action. We feed , and
clothe the body , yet there is a restlest de
sire for something. Wo grasp this thing
and that , to stimulate- the material part
of us , and Eatlify that desire. But the
hairiness wo seek Is still a wlll-o'-the-wisp ,
and we do not realize thatwhile we feed the
body the spirit IB starving. Because we do
not understand our higher selves the strug
gle goes on , and those emotions , misdirected ,
which might raise us to the highest pin
nacle , drive us to the depth of despair.
Let this work and development begin In
the kindergarten ns soon as a child can ex
press an emotion , before all natural freedom
is lost and continued through the awkward
period of self-consciousness , during which the
character Is formed.
Let children interpret and understand
everything they read. Give them those
things which will develop the higher facul
ties. Let them live In harmony with nature.
If the mind goes right tbe btfy la almost
sure not to go wrong.
As they grow older teach them tn expre i
their feelings. To bs taught to express
through words our highest emotions Is a great
Btep on the ladder of knowledge. L)3velop )
the Imagination. Inspire noble BentlmciiU.
Heason quickly. Let the mind master the
body so completely that the bfst thoughts
may bo expressed as well on the feet before
an audience as In private.
Let the tones and emphasis bo correct ;
please and persuade.
Says Prof. Norton of Harvard university :
"Tho Imagination U the supreme faculty , and
yet It Is of all the one which receives least
attention In our common system of educa
tion. The reason U not far to seek. The
Imagination li of all the faculties the most
difficult to control , It Is tbe moat elusive of
nil , the most far-reaching In Its relations ,
the rarest In Its full power. But upon Its
healthy development depends not only the
sound exercise of the faculties of observation
and judgment , but also the command of the
reaion , the control of the will , and the
quickening and growth of the moral * ym *
patlilcs. The means of Its culture which
good reading affords Is the most generally
available and one of the most efficient. "
If ministers would not only preach words ,
but Impart their knowledge with effect ! A
child or the most Ignorant person living can
understand a. gehture , the expression of the
.Virfh or any part of the body and can bo
moved or inspired by the tone of a voice.
vVltli the words of God so expressed thou
sands might learn the truth and thus be kept
from the evil.
The lawyer whoso feelings nnd Inspira
tions toward all that Is grand and noble- are
educated and stimulated by Hie oratorical
power which ho iwssossos , might draw many
n poor criminal toward good making life
worth living. The doctor whoso voice Is
filled with music can soothe many a weary
brain driven by the perplexities of life to the
verge of Insanity. In every occupation In
life the power of oratory brings success ,
growth , charity and tenderness.
How often we hear a person Bpokcn of as
being very nice , but with voice and manner
so tiresome or Irritating.
"The sweetest music is not In the oratorio
but in the human voice when It speaks from
Us Instant life , tones of tenderness , truth or
courage , " to Bays Emerson.
Pngo after page can be written on the bene
fits derived from this study. Sometimes
those faculties which Ho dormant will be
roused to action and gradually gain strength
and the Intellect and soul training will not
be sacrificed.
"Tlicro Is more bliss In Ignorance than In
knowledge. " The bliss of one , however , Is
bestial , while that of the other Is godlike.

For ono who admires the beauties of na
ture , Southern California , to my mind , Is
Paradise "par excellence. " Do the Inhabi
tants of that beautiful country appreciate ' * . {
how lavish has been the hand of Dame Na
ture ? In the picturesque town of Los
Angeles the first tiling impressing the trav
eler Is the beautiful pepper tree ( with leaves
lllio thote of our ferns ) and the myriads of
calla lilies turning tlielrf pert llttlo faces to
the sun. These stately looking flowers grow
In thick hedges around the very humblest
dwellings , giving them an attaractlvo ap
pearance , oven In tlielr poverty. In the
more aristocratic localities the walks are
frequently bordered with violets nnd a prettier -
tier sight can scarcely bo Imagined' ' , Largo
bouquets of this ever popular flower are
sold on the streets for the modest sum of
10 cents. A visit to the quaint llttlo village
of Riverside la nluays an object of Interest
to tourists. This place la famed for the
superior excellence of Its oranges. Wo drove
through these orange groves early In Feb
ruary , and a delightful drive It was ! For
miles nothing In sight hut orange trees.
Often did this luscious fruit hang BO low
that -HO plucked them ( branches ana all ) aa
wo passed , until our vehicle WBB well laden.
South of San Ulcgo Is the fashionable win
ter resort of California , Coronado Beach.
People from all parla of the world congte-
sato there.
The hotel at this point Is an enormous
structure. The dining room will comfortably
seat 1,000 guests. U Is beautifully situated
close to the shores of the Pacific. The hotel ,
properly speaking. Is built In a perfect
square , with a court on the Inner side. This
court ( or park ) Is laid out In the must artis
tic manner , with every variety of palm and
uxotlc plant that this luxuriant climate pro
duces. Beautiful walks bordered with flowers
of every conceivable color known to nature ;
fountains filled with Innumerable gold lUh ;
birds of paradise , with rich plumage , and to
make this vision still more complete ,
benches and easy chairs are placed In the
quaintest works , underneath shady palmetto
trees. Wo aaw this entrancing picture by
moonlight , the evening of our arrival at
Coronado. Can you realize that It mint have
been beautiful. UOSE T. MKVEIl.
