yesterday evening, g,swhen he was asked to
give his views as 10 the duties OF the

He was firIu III this decision, and no
representation OF the pathetic condition

appear to find themselves In their sea rch
for ''as good man as Seth Low, plus
Democracy" was sufficient TO induce him
to give trem, publicly, the benefit OF his
advice or to express his ideas as to the
platform on which they should conduct
their campaign.
He is very careful to say nothing that
can he construed as dictation in New
York politics. when he was told OF hat-
ing been quoted by william G. Mclaughlin
asdeclaring tia the Chica go platform must
be Teaffirmed he said
Il VIII say nothing on the New York
situation.

him to say anything further on the sub

With regard TO the report that he was
requested to meet in conference with
Chairman Jones and Richard Croker ia
Chicago last Thursday, he said that no
conference had been arranged: that
Jones and GOV. Stone Were on their
way north on fishing trip, and he was
invited 10 accompany them, but could
not d" so, and that If Jones and Croker
talked about the New York situatioBit was
not by prearrangcd a agraenent-

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges.

tion by Dieting Barba raus
and Useless One.
We say the Old way, but really it is
very common one at the present time and
many dyspeptics and physicians as well
consider the fii st Step to take in attempt
ing 10 cure indigestion is to diet, either
by selecting certain foods and rejecting
others, or to greatly diminish the guam
uity usually taken; in other words, the
starvation plants by many supposed to be
the first essential.
The almost certain failure OF the star
vaIion cure for dyspepsia has been proven
time and again, but still the moment dys-
reps;a makes its appearance course Of
dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. IL is foolish
and uBscientific to recommend dieting or
Starvation 10 man suffering from dys-
pepsia, because indigestion itself starves
every organ and every nerve and every
fiber in the body.
WHAT the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition which means plenty of good.
wholesome, well-cooked food and some
thing to assist the weak stomach TO di gest
it. This Is exactly the purpose for which
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted,
and this is the method by which they cure
the worst cases OF dyspepsia, in other
words, the patient eats plenty of whole
some food, and stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets digest it for him. In this way the
system is nourisbed aud the overworked
stomach rested. because the tablets will
digest the food whether the stomach works
or not. One Of these tablets will digest
5000 grains OF meat or eggs.
Your druggist viii tell you that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and safest
remedy sold for stomach troubles, and
every trial makes one more friend for
this excellent preparation. Sold at SO

LUCK N PLUCK.
into into the jug.

The boy who's always wishing
That this or that might be,
But never tries his mettle,
Is the boy that's bound to see
His plans all come to failure,
His hopes end in defeat,
For that's what comes when wishing,
And working fail to meet.
The boy who wishes this thing
Or that thing with will
That spurs him on to action,
And keeps him trying still
When effort meets with failure,
Will some day surely win.
For he works out what he wishes
And that's where LUCK" comes mi
The "luck'' that I believe in
liz that which comes with work,
And no one ever finds it
Who's content to~wish and shiYk.
The men the world calls lucky"
Will tell you, every one,
That success comes, not by wishing,
But by hard work, bravely done.
