GENTLEMEN:
I am an old soldier, and have been
troubled with my stomach ever since l

Stomach, Heartburn, -Bloating Spells.
and Dizziness; unable, to sleep nights:
Some days would have good appetite and
would wish that had not eaten anything,
it would cause me such distress. Such was
life day and night until 1 used Groder's
Botanic Dyspepsia Syrup. You can all
see from my photograph and from my state
ment that 1 enjoy good health. 1 can now
work every day, and L recommend this
Syrup to everybody, but particularly to my
old comrades, as I know that thousands
are suffering just as was.
Yours respectfully.

Proving His Identity.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was a kind
hearted man as we'll as great novel;
list. While he was consul at Liverpool
young Yankee walked into his Office.
The boy had left home to seek his fort
tune, but evidently hadn't found 1t yet,
although he had crossed the sea in his
search. Homesick, friendless, nearly
penniless, he wanted a passage home.
The clerk said Mr.. Hawthorne could
not be seen. and intimated that the boy
was no American, but was trying to
steal a passage.
The boy stuck to his point, and the
clerk at last went to the little room and
said to Mr.. Hawthorne:
Here's a boy insists upon seeing
you. He says he's an American, but
know he isn't"
Hawthorne came out of the room and
looked keenly at the eager, ruddy face
of the boy,

Yes, sir.
and you say you're an American"
Yes, sir.

thing more than occurs after most mar
riages upon which church, and society
smile. Every Chinaman Is supposed to
be here for the sole purpose OF making
enough money to go back to China and
end his days there. Were he to take an
American wife with him, all of his an
cestors who may be living would regard
her first as a curiosity and then as a
slave, to be sold at whatever price could
be obtained and for whatever purpose
the purchaser might have in view. Quite
possibly some of the Cinnamon who
have married here do not intend to go
back to China; they have memories,
and know that they are better off in a
New York slum than they ever could be
in their native land. Besides, evil COM
mnnications corrupt good manners.
No Chinaman can fail to be affected by
American disrespect for age, although
In the land Of the Celestials ones an
cestors are reckoned almost among the
deities.
why the Chinese Settled There.
The Chinese are said to have made a
part Of New York worse than it ever
was before, but the real truth is that
the Chinaman never settles anywhere
except among the lowest and most de-
based people OF the city into which he
happens to have strayed. John China
man wasn't looking for bad company
when he selected his present colony
site, but on general principles he as
sumed that he had reached his proper
position. Nothing around him was quite
as nasty and dirty as what he lett be-
hind him In his own native land, where
pavements, street-sweepers and scav-
engers are unknown. He didn't know
how anything could be worse than
China, 80 he was ready TO look for what
might be better with the calm conf
dence OF the poker player to whom any
change Of cards will be gratifying. He
could not settle in the / i've Points, for
that locality, besides being full of.
Italians, had been improving for many
years. Visitors. strangers, philanthro-
pists, and missionaries dropped in there
in such numbers that the ordinary
course of business was completely dis
arranged. Even a Chinese tramp knows
when he Is being looked at; he
shrinks aside and endeavors 10
find a place where he will not be
prominent. For some reason which no
one has ever been able to discover the

Hockey on Horseback.

A writer in the Alpine Journal,
narrating his adventures in the Val
ley Of Cashmere, describes the
national game of changhan, or
hockey on horseback. He had
stopped to admire a level piece OF
ground, such a sight being rare in
that country, when he was surprised
by the sudden appearance Of several
horsemen and great crowd of coun-
try people on foot The throng in
creased every moment, and presently
the stranger was informed that a
game OF changhan was to be played.
He was conducted to a good position,
and found the game not merely in
teresting but exciting. He says:
To all appearance the rules of the
game are exactly like those of our
schoolboy game of hockey. The con-
tending sides consisted Of about
twenty-five horsemen each.
Play began by one rider starting
forward at full gallop, chucking the
wooden ball into the air, and sending
it forward with a swinging blow from
his crooked hockey-stick. Immedi-
ately there was a grand rush after it,
and then followed a scene of hurry
and scurry, dust, dashing of sticks,
gathering Of hoofs, shouting and con-
fusion that would be hard to describe.
The excitement was increased by the
clangor of band composed chiefly Of
clarlonets, gongs and cymbals.
The small horses, all with long,
flowing names and tails, were won
derfully active, and seemed to under
stand the game as well as their
riders. For instance, the ball having
gone into goal, rider who was near
dismounted and ran to pick it up,
leaving his horse standing perfectly
still. All the other horses were
rushing around it with tremendous
clatter, but it did not move till its
m lster returned and remounted.
One fellow, while galloping along
at a sharp pace. stepped down, picked
up with his hand another mans cap
that had fallen to the ground, and
tossed it across into the hands of its
owner with grace that was delight
full Several other tricks OF SINH
lar kind were quietly done, while the
whole tifty hoses were rushing after
the ball, all jumbled together in
cloud OF dust.
The game lasted more than an hour.
At the close all the men rode up TO
the band-stand, and hosting their
sticks high in the air, shouted the
same word several times over, and
then dispersed, laughing bolster
ously, evidently much amused at the
joke, whatever il might be.
