stomach. Frequently he doesn't even
know whether the thing he eats is going
to agree with him or not. The things that
please his palate most are often the worst
for him to eat. Even the simplest food is
likely to cause him misery and sleepless-
ness. His first trouble was very slight
very simple-verg easy to cure He ate
something indigestible and it stuck soma
place In his digestive SYSTEM, He ate move
things and they stuck, Part Of his diges-
ton stopped altogether-that Is eonstipa-
ton.
Constipation is so common that more
than half the people in America are troub-
led with it. It is so serious that nine
tenths of the sickness of the world is
tTaceable directly to this common cause.
A mans health and strength depend upon
what he gets out Of his food. This depends
on his digestion. Constipation stops diges-
ton. Anybody can see that. The COM
monest kind of common sense will tell
you that. When digestion stops, nutrition
stops. and the whole body is thrown out
of order.
The way to start digestion is to remove
the obstruction. The way to do that is to
take DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
are a positive cure for constipation and
its attendant ills - headaches, sour stom,
ach, fiatuieuce, dizziness biliousness and
heartburn" They are very gentle ir
their action. They simply assist nature
They give no violent wrench to the system
They cause no pain, nor gripping, nor dis
comfort of any kind.

Bad Reading Makes Bad Boys.

THE effect of boys reading bad litera-
ture has had its full exemplifcatiOn in
a recent case in New York State.
Three boys sometime ago wrecked a
train near Rome in that State whereby
two persons were killed and a number
wounded. At the trial last week Hill
dreth was found guilty of murder in
the second degree and was sentenced
to the Auburn Prision for life. His
associates in crime were permitted to
plead guilty of manslaughter in the
first degree. The sentences imposed
on them were Imprisonment for twenty
years on each of two indictments, or
forty in all. The sentences are severe,
but are fully justified in law and by
the facts of the case. A tremendous
lesson is thus taught TO would-be boy
desperadoes, whose imaginatiOns have
been in famed by reading the exploits
of heroes of yellow-covered literature.
These boys deliberately planned a
crime of the most heinous character,
and they have come to their just de-
serts.
MEMBERS of Congress are so very
hard worked that they have come to
the conclusion that it is necessary for
them to be supplied with clerks from
years end to years end. For the last
three years they have enjoyed this
luxury during the session, and they
like it so we'll that Friday they de-
cided to indulge in it all the yeal
round. The vote ON the question was
13O to 1OS, but the opposition was not
vigorous or Outspoken. The fact that
the Treasury is low was not permitted
to interfere with the plan, and no ac-
count seems to have been taken of the
circumstance that the labOrs Of Con
gressmen in the matter of patronage
have been reduced to almost nothing
by the Civil Service order just ISSUED
by the President.

the sub-treasurer has underscorcd the
word "only." Therefore we must cor
rect our statement above quoted and
say that silver dollars and silver GER
tiflcates are not redeemable in gold
either in law or as materof practice.
Whence it follows that the silver dol
lar do not circulate at par because the
government will pay gold for them on
presentation. Hence is 1t not also
true that this country is already

gold and silver are circulating at Il
