a quiet investigation of Morrison ito
see if anything was wrong Both
Major Salmon and Doctor Britt were
! busy men and didn't meet often. And
so it happened that six months passed
! before the two were again brought to-
gether where it was convenient to dis
cuss the case of Doctor Morrison. Then,
when Major Salmon asked Doctor Britt
if he had made any discovery with re
gard to Morrison the old doctor simply
shook his head in oracle fashion and
walked away without giving an an
SWer.
A queer old character was Judge Nc
| Beth, who presided over the Common
| Pleas court. Judge McBeth was rugged
and hrusque and direct of speech. He
/ did not permit the lawyers to circum-
lOcute when examining a witness in his
court He made them go after the teS-
! timony by direct methods. and he pur-
sued the same course in his eXamina-
] ton of Jurors. An important case, in
vOlving thousands of dollars was be
| fore Judge McBeth for trial. When the
| jury was impaneled and sworn in Doe
tor Morrison was a member of it. When
it was organized he was elected fore
man. Nearly all of the juries on which
he had previously served had honored
him with the foremanship. The lead
! ing counsel for one side of the suit was
Judge James b. CAN'T, now a justice
of the State Supreme Court. Judge
CAN'T had an acknowledged advantage
over his adversary in having all of the
evidence and the law on his side. Three
days were consumed in the trial of the
case. The jury deliberated on it TWEEN
ty-fOur hours. and then returned a YER
diet against Judge Gantts client. The
court room was damned when the YER
diet was announced, and everybody
was astonished by it. Judge CAN'T sat
for a moment appalled,. He was abso-
lutely certain of winning the suit SO
was everybody else who followed the
trial Judge McBeth had practically
instructed the jury to find for Gantt's
client. Nobody seemed more surprised
than the trial judge, not even excepting
Judge CAN'T, when the verdict was an
nounced the other way.
Behind Judge CAN'T in the courtroom
that morning sat DR.. Britt. That YER
diet Is atrOcious." said CAN'T to Britt
in desperation, and | cannot under
stand it"
Il understand it." replied Dr. Britt
stoically.
Then, in heavens name, what is it,"
replied CAN'T.
Why" nonchalantly responded DR..
Britt, the foreman of the jury is
crazy"
"Do you mean that?' anXiously in
quired the lawyer.
Il do" solemGly answered the Doc
tor.
Without any more ado, Judge CAN'T
sprang to his feet and startled the

FOR DEEP SEA SOUNDING.
Apparatus Expected to Supersede the
Lead and Line.

Lcau ana Line.
John T. Buckley. of New York City,
after twelve years experimenting, has
perfected an apparatus known as an
electric sounder. The invention will be
invaluable to navigators, as by it's use
captains may be able to ascertain the
depth of water for 1000 feet ahead of
their vessels. The inventor expects
that 1t will supersede the lead and line.
Mr.. Buckley is confident that his APP
paratus will do away with the present
tedious manner of making soundings,
and that vessels will no longer have to
feel their way into port when the air
is foggy. With his invention the sound
ing is done by means of bell circuit
which passes through a carrier. and
thence to Il nonconducting cylinder
filled with quicksilver When the cyl
inder strikes bottom a circuit is COM
pleted, which rings n bell on board the
vessel and gives warning that the YES
sci is in dangerously shallow water.
The apparatus, to speak more in de-
tail, consists of an air gun, about 1000
feet of WIRE or, rather, of two wires
bound around each other, n hollow
shell, which will float a cylinder OF
quicksilver, and an electric battery.
The air is forced into the chamber Of

idea of the fame that Miss Hall has so

Cough mixture must be avoided be-
cause they frequently cohtain oplates
which arrest the digestion. Their ony
effect on the cough is by Supplying
the nerves. Let them alone.
All foods that are hard to digest
must be avoided, especially fats and
oils. Only those foods that are easily
digested and assimilated should be
eaten, Foods not thus accepted by
nature do no good; they do harm. Not
what is merely eaten but what is di-

not necessarily cough, but ten

this tendency now. Don't wait for

Stop the wasting and you master
the disease, even though it may have

DANGER IN SODA.

Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its Ex-
cessive Use
Common soda is all right in it's place
and indispensable in the kitched and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
it was never intended for medicine
and people who use it as such Will some
day regret 1t.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
a habit which thousands of people
practice almost daily, and one which
is fraught with danger; moreover, the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse aud worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irri-
tant to the walls Of the stomach and
bowels, and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the intestines, caus-
ing death by Inflammation or peri
tonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour. stom-
ach (acld dyspepsia an excellent prep
aratlon sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
These tablets are large 20 grain loz-

digestive elements essential to good
digestion, and when taken after meals
they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before it has time to fer

finds them a certain cure not only for
