Knights of old-crusaders who went to
conquer the world, could not hope to
succeed unless they were in virile, hearty
health. A man cannot face difficulties if
his stomach isn't in good order. Dis
ordered digestion will make a sluggish
coward out of any man. 1t makes his
mind stagnant, and he cannot think
quickly enough to accomplish anything.
1t makes his movements slow, and takes
all of the snap out of him. Every man
in business in America has a fight on his
hands Just as much as ever had belted
knight. 1t is a matter of life and death,
lust the same with him as it was with the
crusader. Indigestion and all the ills
\that go with it, most frequently start in
constipation. That keeps all sorts OF inn.
purities in the body, forces them into the
blood, and so deranges the whole system.
Constipation is one of the commonest
ills, and to it are traceable most of the
disorders that make people sick. Once
it gets a firm hold on a man, it is most
difficult to overcome it. Temporary re-
lief can be obtained in thousand ways.
There are medicines on the market that
will help as long as you take them.
There is only one remedy that is a real
remedy-that you don't have to keep on
taking forever. That is DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. The "Pellets are
tiny, sugar-coated grarules, mild and
efficient in their action. They effect a
permanent cure. You don't become a
slave to their use, as with other pills.

CLEANING CURTAINS.
Lace Must BE Handled Carefully to Sc
cure Good Results.

1t always pays to have frame of
light wooden strips to DIR curtains on.
1t should be the exact size of the
curtains, 80 that they may be stretched
on it when wet and dried in this way.
Tack strip of strong cloth on all sides
of the frame, and pin the curtains even
ly to this strip at the bottom, top and
sides. Or, if you prefer, they may be
basted to it, though this is more
trouble. Almost any variety of curtain
can be washed by the method given.

who understands how to handle real
lace.
Before touching the curtains make
strong soapsuds of hot water in which
a tablespoonful of borax has been dis
solved for every gallon Of water, and
half bar of soap shaved and melted
for every tubful of water. Put the
curtains in this water. Souse them up
and down and let them soak well COW
cred over night. The next morning ex-
anime them, put them through a
wringer and throw them into fresh
soapsuds. Souse them repeatedly and
scald them in clothes boiler and rinse
them as carefully as possible in two or
three rinsing waters. If they are white

SILAS l.. BRYAN.
Stories Told of the Father Of the
Democratic Leader.
How He Secured a Confession from q
Meat Thief Watched Over by
Special Dispensstion-Suprem
Court Was Wrong.

Judge j. NJ. Dill, of Belleville, ILL.,, an
old friend of Judge Silas L. Bryan,
father of the brilliant young Nebraskan,
tells this story of the old gentleman:
MANY years ago, when old Judge
Bryan lived at Salem, ILL.,, he had man
working for him by the name of Isabel.
He was one of those poor, nO-account
sort of chaps, with a wife and brood
of ragged children, and one night it
came to pass that some one broke into
the judges smokehouse and stole ham
and side of bacon. The judge was very
wrathy at first, but when he began to in
vestigate he found what he considered
almost positive proof that this unlucky
henchman had taken the stuff. So, on
talking over the matter with his good
wife he concluded to say nothing about
the matter. Isabel came to work that
morning, but he evidently had some
thing on his mind, and finally, squirm-
ing round to where the judge was, said:
Say, jedge, 1 understand that your
smokehouse war broke into last even
an some side meat stole? Hev yer any
idea who TUX it?"
Isabell,' said the judge, in his soft
whisper-like voice, there are four peo-
pie who know anything about that mat
ter. One is myself, one is my wife, one
IS God Almighty-and I guess you're
the other one, Isabella"
Isabel broke down when the accusa-
ton was sprung on him in this way,
but what was done in the matter Mr..
Dill did not say.
The old gentleman came into Mr..
Dill's office one morning and began as
follows: 'Ioverslept myself this morn
ing, and when / got up dressed in a
hurry, and in my haste put on another
pair of pants from the ones had been
wearing, and hurried to the depot to
take the train from Chester to Pinck-
NEVILLE. / did just catch the train,
and by and by I saw the conductor
coming; I put my hand to my pocket
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1896-08-06

to gst,out the money for my fare, when
with me, having left all my cash in my
other pants. i was in a terrible guam
dairy, and in my desperation I rose
from my seat and walked down the
aisle of the car quite to the end, and do
you know that suddenly saw a pocket
book lying on the floor. which, when
I picked it up and opened it, contained
sufficient to pay my fare to Pinckney-
vile. You can talk all you want to,
Dill, there is a special dispensation
watches over people when they are in
trouble"
And then" said Mr.. Dill, Il asked
him how about the folks that lost the
pocketbook that you found and used
the money. Was no special providence
looking out for them, too?
He stepped for minute and an
swered: ''Well-no. I don't believe
Providence was looking after them that
day"
Judge Bradwell, Nestor of the Chica-
go bar, vouches for the correctness of
the following story, which appeared in
a local paper:
william J. Bryan, who has been NOM
mated by the democrats for president
of the United States, is a son of Silas
L. Bryan, who was for six years circuit
judge of the Second circuit in this
state.
Judge Bryan was in the habit of
opening his court with prayer. He
claimed that the Lord directed him in
making his decisions. He would some
times, when in doubt in the midst of a
trial, kneel down upon the bench and
ask Divine direction. A noted Peoria
lawyer, meeting the Judge one day in
the street after the court had reversed
six of his cases, said:
81 see, judge, that the supreme
court has reversed the Lord in six cases
What have you got to say about itP I
thought you decided your cases under
Divine direction
"Thereupon the judge replied:
""The supreme court is wrong"

The "OId Director Is Once More Can
didate for Congress.
William S. Holman, who has just been
nominated for congress by the demo-
Gratis of the Fourth Indiana district, sat
TOR 80 years in the house of representa-
tive. Long, long ago Judge Holman
he was judge in the dim antebellum
days-earned the title of "old objector"
and watchdog of the treasury" be-
cause of his unyielding opposition to
every plan in which the expenditure of
money played any prominent part. 1t
is not true, as has been asserted, that
he holds the record for length of serv-
ice in one branch of congress. Benton
served his 30 years in the senate, and
even wrote book about it. But Judge
Holman was considered a fixture in

Bull Fights on Bicycles.

The latest thing in Spanish bull fights
is TO put the matador on bicycle in
stead of horse. Carlos Rodriguez, a
well-known cyclist, and Badila, the pic
ador of the Quadrille de Mazzantini,
both entered the arena lately in Madrid,
mounted on cycles. Rodriguez soon
ran away from the bull, but Badila, the
picador, stood his ground, and, not be-
ing able to turn QUICKLY enough was

the house until he was removed by the
republican landslide in 1894. Even then
he Jared better than most of his friends,
for he was defeated by only a few votes.
Since his retirement he'has lived quiet
ly in his Indiana home, saddened by the
recent loss of his dear wife, who, for
half century, had been his companion
in his victories and defeats. Financial
ly the aged legislator is poor. OF the
$15o,0Oo in salary he drew for his serv-
ices in Washington he has not a penny.
Poor in purse, he is rich in honor, and
if he saved no money for himself there
is no doubling that his famous objec-
tons helped the husbandry of the gov
eminent in his day. His nomination is
pleasing to the free silver men, for
Judge Holman often advocated this
cause in congress. His friends already
claim the election for him, urging DEM
ocratic strength in the Fourth district
because of the new apportionment.
