AFRAID 0r THE TRUSTS.

The Washington Star deplores the
failure OF the Republican Senators in
caucus Thursday night. to deal with the
disappointing and something they are
certain to have to explain on the stump
in this years State campaigns" But
did the Star expect the Republican SEN
ators to kill THE goose which lays tn
golden egg?" Suppose the Republicans
would Kill the trusts, where would Mr.
Hanna and his party go for campaign
funds. to say nothing about some other
things which the country believes. Our
contemporary declares that the reason
for on-nction-that it is too late in the
debate to bring forward an amendment
which would lead to protracted dis
customs simply no reason al all
Who 1t asks, would consume time for
the purpose of defeating such an
amendment? The Topulists and the
Democrats declare themselves against
trusts. Are there any Republican Sena-
tors who would challenge an amend

judiciary committe Of that body? The
bare suggestion that such an amend

with all the more strongly to see the
matter presented. Who would come
forward as the open and confessed
champion OF trusts at time when those
organizations are 50 defiant of both law
and the prophecies?

days. Only a few years ago the brains of

in Paris. -Four hundred and sixty-three
years after Edward / died he was found
to be little, if at all, changed, so far as
contemporary pictures conId be trusted.
The flesh of the face was little wasted
that was all. Canute died in 1O17; in
1865 his body was found to be still quite
fresh looking. In the tenth century the
bodies OF several Roman soldiers were ex-
humed from an Aberdeen peat bog; al d
after 1 800 years were as fresh and as
plump a S if they had only been Inferred
few months. The remains of William
the Conqueror and his wife We're found
absolutely perfect in the sixteenth century
Lady Kilsyth and her infant We're en-
.balmed in 1T1T, and close upon eighty
years afterward were discovered to be as
perfect S at the hour in which the burial
took place. The bodies of Thomas tray,
one time Marquis Of Dorsetshire, and
Robert BraybrOok, bishop OF London, in
the fourteenth century, were also strangely
preserved for centuries.

GET FLESH.

Get Strength, Vigor, Clear Complex
ion and Good Digestion, Not by
Patent Medicine, But in Natures
Own Way.
Any honest physician will tell you that
there Is but one way to get increased flesh;
all the patent medicines and cod liver oils
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way to increa sc flesh,
strength and vigor of mind and body, and
that is through the stomach by wholesome
food well digcsted. There S no reason or
common sense in any other method what
ever.
People are thin, run down, nervous, pale
and shaky in their nerves simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspepsia
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food or what they eat is n ct quickly
and properly digested a it should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secretion
of gastric juice.
Nature sremedy in such cases is to supply
what the weak stomach lacks. There are
several good prepar ations which will do this.
but none SO readily as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which are designed especially for
all stomach troubles, and which cure all di-
gestiye weakness on the common sense plan
OF furnishing the digestive principles which
the stomach lacks.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effeetis to increase the ap-
petite ,andincreased vigor added flesh pure
blood and strength of nerve and muscle is
the perfectly natural result.
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form of stom-

lOUtL'S C8IiIn0UfOu

Some farms in the hill country Of New
England are provided with so thin a
coating of soil and so abundant a supply Of
the material of stone wall as to call for the
exercise of unlimited patience and phil
osophy on the part of the native farmers.
''Uncle Amos" said a summer resident
of Ashv1lle, stopping his horse close to Mr..
willet's stone wall, on the other side Of
which the old farmer stood, what do
you think of the theory that ali our rocks
came from the North in ieebergs orlgi-
nally?"
Uncle Amos, Resting from his daily task
of removing the stones from the south field
and piling them in heaps and mounds,
surveyed his queStioner in silence for a
moment with a solemn face. Then he
stopped, and, taking up a good-sized
stone in each hand, he looked down at
them, while keen enjoyment OF his pros
pective joke tugged at the corners of his
mouth.
There's Jest one thing I'm clear ab0at.
