much attention. In front OF tue mare hips
was one strap and back ward the roots
ofthe tail ran another, the Two uniting jusU
below the nip bone, and running from there

the remarks heard as To this peculiar form
o. Kicking strap, but the Western trainer,
Ewing, who used 10 drive Dandy jim and
VINO uses similar strap on nearly al Bis
horses, recently told ons Uftne stalf writer's
on the Horse Review that s1ch Il strap nasa
double use. 1t is good Kicking strap, ac-

sulky from dropping down on horse 5 heels
in case "a wheel gets "a ken off i'm a collision

would be quite the thing among the half

The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is sound
stomach. Weak ston1achs fail to digest
food properly because they lack the
proper quantity Of digestive ACIDS
tactic and hydrochloric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensib.s rem
edy in all cases of indigestion, is to
take after each meal one or Two or
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets because
they supply in a pleasant, harmless
form all the elements that weak stom-
achs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure every form OF
stomach trouble except cancer OF the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and
clear complexion, because all these re-
suit only from wholesome food well
digested.

Montpelier had two quaint visitors
Friday, says the Rutland Herald.
They were Seymour Morehouse and
wife of Westford, aged IS and u
years respectively. They have lived
together as man and wife for over
half century on one of the hill
farms in the above named town, but
until Friday had never seen a rail-
way train and much less rode on one
they were en- route for Plainfield to
visit son and during the time they
had to wait for their train they visited
the state house, where everything
they saw impressed them greatly.
Their curiosity and simplicity was
most amusing and pathetic. They
asked if they would not be considered
in the way at the capitol building, but
they were reassured by being inform
ed that they had commercial inter-
est in all that was there. They ap.
peared to have had load of anxiety
removed from their minds and pur-
sued their investigation with child
like glee.
