BRILLIANT BOB TAYLOR.
A Peerless Lecture by Ternessee's Famous Governor Heard by
 Delighted Audience.

Gov. Bob Taylor, Tennessee's ia nous 'fddling and pardoning Gov ernor" and peerless lecturer, deliv- cred his lecture, ''The Fiddle and the Bow at the opera house last Friday night to a fair sized and highly appreciative audience.
 The weather was inclement and the audience was ret as large as ex- pected for so distinguished lectur- CT, but what the audience lacked in numbers it made up in enthusiasm. But it was a representative audience composed of cultured people, and those who were fortunate enough to be present were delighted.
 No newspaper article can give an adequate idea of the distinguished Tennesseean's lecture. Cold type cannot convey the warm and impul sive feeling of words. No one can fully appreciate one of Coy. Taylor's lectures without hearing it. I is within his power to play upon the heart-strings of his hearers with as much power and pathos as upon the strings of his famous violin. His audiences are carried into the high  est realms of ethereal bliss by his ravishing eloq uence, moved to pity and to tears by his pathos, and con yulsed with laughter by his anee- dotes. Indeed, 10 spend an evening with Gov. Bob Taylor on the plat form is to run the gamut of human feeling and emotion. As word painter he is peerless, as an orator magnificent, and as a story teller inimitable. Pine Bluff audiences have hea~d the world most renown- ed lecturers, but on the American lecture platform today, in his pecul- far parts, Bob Taylor has DO equal. His methods and manners are en- tirely original and unique. There is no one that can be compared with him, for so great is the variety of entertainment he affords his audi ences that an evening with Bob Taylor is to enjoy everything from the opera comique to high class lecture couched in the most beauti- ful language.
 But why try to describe Gov. Bob 2Tavlor's lecture? Who can paint Ahe rainbow, describe a sunbeam or adorn the rose? Even to print his worlds in cold type would give no adequate conception of the melody of his music and song, or his inimit- able manner of expression and de- livery, Therefore, suffice it to say that alk of life has not been enjoyed until Coy. Taylor's lecture is heard.
 Those who heard Gov. Taylor are anxious for a repetition of the occasion, and hope for return engagement at an early date.

IS IT A TRIFLE?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE ACID oYs-
 PePsIA, OR SOUR STOMACH
Now Recognized as Cause of serious
 Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heartburn or sour stomach, is a form of indigestion resulting from fernlen- tatiOn of the food. The stomach be- ing too weak to promptly digest it, the food remains until fermentation begins filling the stomach with gas, and bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is often present. This. condition soon becomes chronic and being an every day occurrence is giv- en but little attention. Because dys- pepsia is not immediately fatal many people do nothing for the trouble
 Within Il recent period remedy has been discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is now becom- ing rapidly used and prescribed as a radical cure for every form of dys- pepsia.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been placed before the public and are sold by druggists every here at o0 cents per package. It is prepared by the Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mieh.. and " hile it promptly and effcctually restores vigorous digestion, at the same time is perfectly harmless and will not injure the most delicate stomach, but on the contrary by giv- Ing perfect digestion strengthens the stomach, improves the appetite and makes fife worth living.

What caused the. greatest surprise
in the beau monde was that musical
instruction should be impaired in the
Russian language"
For the benefit of English readers it
is necessary to remark that up tc q
comparatively late date in Russia it
was considered positively mira dig for
the nobility, and the whole would-be
nobility, to speak their mother tongue.
This was not entirely affectation on
their part, for only too often they were
really unable to converse or correspond
in Russian with any degree of ease and
correctness. French was the acknoWl-
edged language of the court and So
ciety. Nowadays all this is changed
the Russians have become more pa
triotic and sensible. Educated people
would now be ashamed were they not
proficient in their mother tongue.
French, however, is just as universally
understood as ever.
" Monster Rubenstein,' said a society
lady one day, presenting her young
daughter and speaking, of course, in
French, L have brought you my daugh-
ter and hope she will gain a good mu-
steal education, and at the same time
not forget foreign languages
But, madame, instruction is given

A Curious French Legend.

1t is asserted by the "Industrielles
Echo" that thousands of five-franc
pieces are split into two halves by their
French owners every year, in the hope
of discovering" an immense hidden
treasure. This treasure, according to
the legend firmly believed in France, is
an order to pay the holder 1OO,OOU
francs in silver five-franc coins. When
Napoleon Bonaparte first set the five
franc piece in circulation, the conserva-
tive mind of the French reyolted
against the numismatic revolution not
withstanding it's zeal for political revo-
luton, and it was very difficult to in
duce a Frenchman to receive or proffer
the new coin. Hence, according to the
story, Napoleon gave it to be under
stood that he had ordered a check for
100000 francs, written upon asbestos
paper, to be concealed in one of the
new silver pieces. From that day to
this nobody has objected to the five
franc piece.
