one day the Duke of welingtons French cook

" Oh, get anything" said the duke, impatiently.

The chef was mortified. Whether Wellington
was punished with Indigestion not, history does
not tell, one thing is certain. People who don't
care what they eat lind themselves unable to
eat anything at all without agony Their offended
stomachs go on strike, Natural digestion ceases.
What is to be done then? one cannot live with
out eating. The only possisle help is I'm pre-.
digested food, which science has furnished in the
form of Paskoa. It replaces wasted tissue and in
yigorates the entire system without aid from tho
stomach. willard Hettrick of Bridgeton, y. j.,
says.
" have been great sufferer from dyspepsia and
Indigestion until was induced by a friend, as a last
resort, to try Paskola am more than pleas ed to
testify that Paskola has worked wonders in my
case, as I have no distress after eating, and eat
whatever the appetite Graves advise all like suf.

This is the story Of =. A. Hank Of Valparaiso,

THE VAMPIRE BAT PEST.
One of the Chief Drawbacks to Cattle
Raising in Central America.
"The Wortd Moves.

One of the Chief Drawbacks to Cattle
Raising In Central America.
There are some drawbacks to the
Isthmian cattle business that would
rather astonish the American cowboy
were he to go there. The chief of
these is the vampire bat, says a Sun
correspondent writing from Panama.
One reads stories of the vampire bat
sucking the blood of human beings,
and at least two books by naturalists of
repute say that these bats do suck hui
man blood Vampire bats are found
by the thousands in Veraguas and
Ciriqui. l asked at every place for a
person whose blood had been sucked
by vampires, but could not find soul.
And yet people sleep out of doors
without even blanket to protect
them = sleep bare headed and bare
footed. The vampire had every chance
to alight on the human big toe, as he
is said to do, and, while soothing the
foot with his tanning wings, to suck
out the life blood I could not find
any such case, however, nor had that
observant Englishman, C. Freely, who
lived twenty years in David, ever
found any But the vampire is the
pest of the cattlemen. He is particu-
larly fond of veal blood, but older
stock and horses, colts, mules and bur-
ros all suffer. did not catch a vam-
pire at his work, though I saw hun
dreds of them, but the cattlemen all
tell the same story The vampire set
ties somewhere on the back of the
beast in the pasture at night, and then,
while slowly tanning its wings to and
fro, cuts circular piece of skin one
quarter of an inch thick in diameter
Through this hole he sucks the blood
till satisfied. One wound would be of
little consequence, nor would the loss
of blood do much damage were that
all, but half dozen vampires may feast
on one poor calf or on the back of a
saddle horse in one night. The calf is
badly weakened by the loss of blood,
while saddle horse so served is
worthless until the wounds are entire
ly healed. But that is not the worst
result of the bite. The region swarms
with pestiferous fly that soon after
daylight finds the wound and lays eggs
in it. Unless the wound is properly
cleaned and dressed with waxy salve
within forty-eight hours after the vam-
pire's attack the animal will be de-
stroyed by the progeny of the fly. The
percentage of calves thus killed is
large, in spite of the watchfulness of
the cow herders.

He Was Sensitive.

Courtesy at sea is scarce and highly
valued commodity. The mate of
whaling vessel once announced to the
captain that he saw a whale breach
ing and blowing, and gave the loca-
ton. The captain looked, and said he
could not see it. The mate again
announced the fact, but the captain
could not make it out, and finally said,
inpatiently: eff you think you see
whale. go and catch him." The mate
promptly ordered out boat, and, sure
enough, found the whale and captured
him He returned triumphant with
his prize, and of course, the captain
was highly gratified. s'Mate," he said,

BEAT HIS FATHER-IN-LAw.
How Holmes Played it to Start Life
IN Chicago.

MARION, Ind, Nov. 24.-John s.
Belknap, father-in-law Of Holmes,
the alleged insurance swindler, is
for the present a member OF the
soldiers home here, where he came
for surgical treatment. When
asked to tell what ne knew about
his son-in-law he broke down and
wept as child, though protesting
that he knew nothing as to Holmes
crookedness. When the latter mar.
ried Belknap's daughter he was a
clerk for druggist named Hyman
in Minneapolis. Soon after the
marriage Holmes went to Chicago,
where he entered drug store, on
63rd street. He soon bought the
store and afterwards a lot opposite
the store. On the lot he erected a
three.story brick building. After
beginning the building he tele.
graphed Belknap for loan of 5000,
which was increased to $4,000, the
proceeds of the sale Of the Belknap
home in Minneapolis and all that
Belknap possessed. The new build
ing was burned in August, 1898. 1t
was insured for $4,000. Mr.. Bel
KNAPP contradicted the report that
Holmes got more OF the insur-
ance; he says $4,000 was paid
Holmes, who then built home for
the old folks at " illiamette. He
decided it to Mrs. Belknap, after
wards procured the deed from her
under the pretense that he needed
1t to secure him in another enter
prise which he had under way.
The deed was never returned. At
the time Of Holmes marriage he
was penniless. Where he made
the money to carry on his various
projects Belknap could not tell.

baggage room. The letter from
Mamie Williams was written on
July 4. AS her trunk arrived on
July 6, and was not taken out Of
the depot, DR.. Block concludes
that the girls were probably
murdered on July 9TH. He
has been unable to find any
record of the marriage of Nam
ME Williams to Harry Gordon in
Cook county, ILL.,, and says that he
has no doubt that Gordon or
Holmes secured bogus preacher
and a bogus marriage license by
which he fooled the girl. Soon af-
ter they were married, he believes,
she was induced to give deed for
her property in Fort Worth, and
after he had murdered the girl he
went to Fort Worth and sold the
property, except one valuable lot
upon which he began the erection
of a house. DR. Block says Holmes
had no other object in view than
to secure possession Of the girls
property, and that the European
trip was proposed to the girl so
that she would writA to her rela-
tives and they would be thrown of
their guard.

A RACE LIBRARY.
It is Lost to Chicago and Picked up
For New York.

CHICAGO, Ills, Nov. A.-Chicago
has lost the famous library of Pro-
fessor Knapp, instructor Of the Ro-
man language at the University Of
Chicago. Its six thousand volumes
were packed and shipped to New
York, to adorn the home of A. NJ.
Huntington, son OF C. p. Hunting
ton, the railroad magnate. The
library was purchased by A. NJ.
Huntington on account of the
many valuable books in it, and es-
pecially those pertaining to Span
ish in the middle ages. The new
owner has devoted his life to the
study Of medical history and
Arabic, He has surrounded
himself with native pro.
fessors Of the later languages,
in which tongue he has collected
no less than 300 histories. Prof.
knapp and Mr.. Huntington are
old friends, and as the professor
leaves in two weeks time for a
lengthy sojourn in England and
Spain he decided to dispose Of his
treasures in such a way that he
could always have access to them.
1t Is not known what considera-
tion was given, but some Of the
books were almost priceless in
themselves not being duplicated
in any library in the world.
