There is a move on foot to revive
lawn tennis after its winters sleep.
The court at the State grounds, it is
understood is to be kept in shape for
the players and it looks very inviting
there now The worst of the rainy sea-
son is past, and from now on there
ought to be first class weather for the
game even better than later on when
the days get hot.
There are a number of good players
who say they can make things very in
teresting from some of the lawyers and
other professional men who WELD the
racket. and only want chance. to
prove it or else take their licking
1t would be relief to the playet s
and everyone else if by some means
or other that tournament could only
be made to materialize, about which 50
much has been heard for some time
The conditions have been ripe and the
general spirit favorable, the players
say. Only one thing has been lacking,
and that is the push to start it going.
The players will soon be leaving for
summer homes, and if there is to be
a. tournament it is well that it come
soon.

that is. presumably meaning it

His first lessons have been taken in

But be it kncSn. that his steed has

1t is a regular bicycle with two addi-

on arms provided with strong stays,
so that, just as soon as he lurches to
either side. as would a ship in heavy

one of the protruding small wheels,
slightly raised above the two main
wheels, prevents further tipping.
Thus it is that the citizen is learning

he will soon appear on the streets. a
full-hedgcd expert. On no conditions,
however will he discontinue his lessons
in the hall until he has become expert
enough to proceed without the extra
wheels They are grotesque and he
realizes it. He knows wen that people
would call his machine a road wagon
During his practicing. a few of his
most exclusive friends have been ad-
mitted a. II. Chadbourne and F. G..
Kinsman among others. The visitors
sit at the end of the hall by the stage.
If 1t is one of Mr. Blanks off days,

to meet with success.

yesterday. Dressed for the occasion,
with shirt sleeves Tapping in the breeze
made as he flies about the hall, he pre-
sents a decidedly athletic appearance.
The white handkerchief is tied in a
knot behind, and is very becoming to
him.
Say. Lon, how do I look?" he asks.
First rate. old man. You're looking
fine. If could do half so well as that

General Richards is about to enter
upon his first summer at the State

dent to call his attention to one thing
that he may feel no alarm at the open
ing of the base ball season, which
event will take place, Thursday after
noon. The general has been informe d
that, when the sounds of many angry
voices rise on the air on that after
noon, or later, he need feel no fear that
CD riot is in progress as it will be
only the spectators uniting with the
players, protesting gainst some de-
cision of the umpire. General Richards
accordingly, need not call out the mill

as there is really nothing malicious or
mischievous, merely righteous protest.
private Indignation publicly expressed
in concert
General Richards is great admirer
of sports of all kinds, but has not at
tended very many ball games. He be-
lieves that an umpire should be UNI
pire SO long as he is umpire. This at
tempt on the part of the people at
large to serve in that capacity does not
appeal to the adjutant general as be-
ing exactly in keeping with modern
views of sport.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
MANY PEOPLE RIDICULE THE IDEA
OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA AND STOM-
ACH TROUBLES.
RidfcuIe, However, Is Not Argument,
and Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that peo-
pie are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their acute
ness in never being humbugged. especially
on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak diges-
ton rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims OF
preparation so reliable and universally used
as StuaIt'S Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vast
ly different in one important respect from
ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are rot
z secret patent medicine no Sc
crot is made of their Ingredients, but
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin. the
digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hy-
drastis and nux. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any
organ, but they cure indigestion on the
common sense plan of digesting the food
eaten promptly, thoroughly, before 1t has
time to ferment sour and cause the mis-
chief. This is the only secret of their sue
cess.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. taken after
meals, digest the food. That Is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half digested is
poison as it creates gas. acidity, headaches,
palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and
appetite, and many other troubles which
are often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at so cents per package. Address Stuart
Company, Marshall, Mich, for book on
stomach diseases or ask your druggist
for if
