Colonel james Tamplin, veteran of
ae Mexican and civil wars, is veri-
liable walking history of the wars, in
which he bore himself with much honor.
Colonel Tamplin was reading paper
recently, when he saw a mention of the
president of one of the great railroads
centering in Chicago. I'm tell you
story about that man, he said. "When
we were hanging around Vicksburg
looking for trouble with the 'Johnnies, ;
there was more or less foraging | re-
member this man, then private i'm our
company, while nosing about the adj
joining farms ran across barrel Of
prime cider. Being good soldier, he
promptly confiscated the cider and EN-
ployed an aged darky to tote it into
camp.
"Cider was scarce in those days, and
he rugged up temporary bar and was
soon doing a lively business retailing it
ut 10 cents cup. The barrel stood well
back in his tent, and for time he was
SO busy filling orders that he paid no at
tention TO disturbance III the rear of
the tent Then the crowd began to
dwindle and he realized that something
was wrong. He importuned passing
soldier to sample his wares, but the fell
low shook his head and said the price
was too high. There's fellow around
here selling cider at cents a glass, he
said.
1.-The owner of the barrel took turn
around his tent and found great crowd
gathered in the rear. Another member
of the company had driven spigot into
the other end of the barrel and was do
ing land office business. Well, he saw
the game was up, and rather than be
outdone he invited the whole crowd
around in front and told them to pitch
i'll. He was willing to meet competi-
ton, and rather than be undersold on
his own goods he would ladle out the
cider free
II reckon, however" added Colonel
Tamplin, THAT he had made enough
before the trick was discovered to give
him a start in the railroad business, for
see he has been doing quite well ever
since. "-Chicago Times Herald.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remed les; the real seat OF the mis-
chief is lost sight Of; the stomach is the
organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
per haps any of the. usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar; in Others, the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are copstipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accumula-
tion of gas, sour risings and heartburn
