Wap Clouds.

A dispatch of the 18th says the hopes en-.
tertained of a peaceful settlement of the
RoumeEan question have been shattered by
the receipt of dispatch from Constanti-
nople stating that the conference has form
ally declared that the Porte has disavowed
the Bulgaro-Roumelian union. Great &C
tivity prevails in military circles through
out Turkey. Troops are being hastily
armed and equipped for immediate service.
The Sultan has determined to fight against
a further dismemberment of Turkey, and
large bodies of troops are being rapidly con-
centrated on the frontier at strategic
points, within easy striking distance of Bull
garia, Greece and Servia. Troops, horses
and field guns are being dispatched to the
front night and days. The Moslems are en-
thusiastic and volunteering in large num-
bers. A conspiracy has been discovered at
the palace, which has led to the exile of
Said Pasha, the ex-grand vizier.

The Art of Getting Vigorous

Is comprised in one very simple piece of advice,
improve digestion. No elaborate system of diet
etics is needed. If you lack vigor, use system
at1cally that pleasant promoter of it, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. If you take this hint, and do
not commit any excuses, there is no reason why
you should not gain in strength, appetite ahd
weight Hosts Of whilom invalids are to-day
building foundation for years of vigorous
health with this sound and thorough renovation
of dilapidated physique and falling energy.
Dyspepsia is eradicated by 1t, and the constitu-
ton fortified against disorders to which, if it
were exposed it must surely succumb-notably
malarial fever. Rheumatism, inactivity of the
kidneys and bladder, nervousness and their va
rious symptoms, disappear when it is used with
persistency, not abandoned after a brief and IT.

A Boston Bean StOry.

from tbs Boston Journal
A Florida youth who bought pair
OF shoes without trying them on found
on reaching home that they were just
an eighth of an inch too small all around.
de thought, however, that he would en-
large them sufficiently by the 'bean'
process, so he filed each shoe to the top
with large, white beans-the variety
that swell nearly double their size
gave them all the water they would
hold, and then left them over night to
the mercy of the beans. In the morn
ing he found that they had increased in
size from No. 5 to apparently No. 8, and
that the uppers had raised up on one
side, exposing huge crevasse and al
lowing the beans to escape for several
feet around. The next time he will pare
down his feet.

Draft HOrses-Forty Years Experience.
A. S. Chamberlain, for forty years proprietor
of the Bulls Head Stables, New York City, in
reference to the values of different breeds of
draft horses, said
81 keep exchange and sale stables for horses.
Don't deal on my own account to any extent.
All classes of horses, amounting to several
thousands annually, come to my stables from
all sections of the country. A large number of
these are draft horses OF tho different breeds,
the Clydesdales, the French horses called
Percherons or Normans, the English and Bel
gian. There seems to be larger demand for
the French horses than for any other breed.
''Some years ago we used to get great many
horses from Upper Canada. These were
Clydesdales, and would weigh from 1,40O to
1000 pounds, but they did not seem TO answer
the purpose as general thing their feet were
thin-shelled and fat, and, being heavy horses,
their feet would become sore and would not
stand the pavements. The French horses have
good feet and stand the pavements better than
the Clydesdales. That is the reason they sell
better.
81 would advise the farmers and breeders
who. are breeding horses to sell on the New
York market for draft purposes to breed from
the French horses In preference to all Others"
Chicago Tribune.
The best horses to be found in France are
recorded with pedigrees in full in the ''Per-
cheron Stud Book of that country.
At the great importing and breeding estab-
hshment OF III. W. Durham, Wayne, Du Page
County, ILL.,, hundreds of the finest specimens
of this famous race can be found at all times

Thou dost not dream what forces lie in thee,
Vast and unfathomed as the grandest sea
Thy silent mind DER diamond caves may roll,
Go seek them But let Pilot Will control
Those passions which thy favoring winds can be.
No man shall place limit on thy strength,
Such triumphs as no mortal ever gained
May yet be thine if thou wilt but believe
In thy Creator and myself. At length
Some feet will tread all heights now unat-

Why not thine own? Press onl Achieve
