Thousands Of People Have Dyspepsia in
Its Worst Form and DO Not Know IL.
A weak stomach Is the cause of about
nine-tenths of all disease. yet In most
cases the wrong thing Is treated and the
true cause overlooked.
This is because a weak digestion produces
symptoms resembling nearly every
disease because IL weakens and disturts
the action of every nerve and organ In
the body; poor digestion causes heart

and especially nervous break down or

OLNEYVILLE.
Aged Henry Fl. Hopkins Under
Arrest For Alleged Theft.
Furnished Bail For His Trial-N0t:s From
the Square and Vicinity.

aenry II. Hopkins, aged, grey and wrin-
killed., an inoffensiye, but an unfortunate speci-
men OF humanity, was brought IN from the
wilds of Scituate late yesterday afternoon
by Constable Rounds OF the town, and was mr.
raigned in the Eighth district court on the
charge of stealing pair of shears and pair
OF spectaces from Frank Steere of scituate.
The old man said in pleasant way, Judge,
I'm 90 years old, lived around here all my
days, and never stole anything yet. I'm too
old 10 begin now, ana I've never been accused
of stealing before. No, Judge I'm not guilty"
Judge Phillips told the defendant that he
would have trial at scituate, Saturday,
March 10, and that the bail would be SlO0. The
old man said that he would remember the day
and be on hand, but Mr.. Phillips told him that
the law OF the land called for some response
BILE person TO furnish security. This did not
bulge the old man a whit, for he said, Here Is
"A man that has known me since 1 was boy,
and ! reckon he'll go bail for me" and he did.
The story is that on Feb. a fow articles OF
small value were taken from the house OF Mr..
Steere. AS MIR. Hopkins was in tho house the
day the articles were taken. SuspiciCn res ed
upon him, and Mr.. Steere made an effort 20
have MIR. Hopkins arrested ut that time, but
the officers of the place knew that Mr.. Hop
kins was not liekly 10 be the criminal, so they
would not take the old man into custody. MIR.
Steere then came TO Olneyyille and swore out
q warrant on his own hook. The case will be
watched with great deal Of interest 10y the
ciizens in the vicinity where the offence is al
legged TO have been committed, for nearly all
who know Mr.. Hopkins say he Is alone IN the
world peculiar but sturdily honest.

"AStronomy for Beginners"

Prof. David P Todd has written a
New Astronomy for Beginners" which
will Immediately take it's place among
the most desirable text books on the
subject. Prof. Todd is unusually well
fitted to write an astronomy that is
not simply a compilation. To his schol-
arly attainments he has been able to
add the practical knowledge gained by
years in the United States astronom-
ical observatory at Washington and as
director in the Amherst college observ-
atory and through experience obtain
ed by three solar eclipse expeditions
IA New Astronomy for Beginners
follows the laboratory method as far
as is possible without elaborate instru-
ments and such instruments as are to
be found in a fairly equipped class
room are carefully explained, and all
practical methods Of personal investf-
cation are emphasized The science Of
astronomy is treated as a part of the
science Of physics, with a definiteness
that is usually lacking in a book for
beginners. Numerous and unusual il
Illustrations are one Of the striking fea-
lures of this work; they include repro
auctions from photographs taken dur
ing the authors solar eclipse eXpedi-
ton and in his laboratory, besides
numerous diagrams. Many Of these IL
Illustrations are reproduced in color, and
are therefore additionally novel and in

SWeetheartS and Friends is a story
almost humorous at times, and that
without the authors deliberate inten-
ton. Maxwell Gray, the author Of
THE Silence of Dean Maitland"
should, by this time, do brighter and
more artistic work, both in style and
matter, and that she is able to do
something that is at least more worthy
of consideration, If not quite all the
public has a right to expect from her,
"Ribstone Pippins," a book more late
ly published. is sufficient proof.
The motif Of "Sweethearts and
Friends" may be partly responsible for
the character of the book The pro-
gressive English girl-the daughter in
revolt-is young person fatal to the
novelist. We recall several American
stories in which her republican sister
has been treated with tact and spirit,
but we recall with even greater dis
tinctness number of English novels
in which the lady has been a dead
weight on the authors hands. Lies
the fault with the advanced young
person or her exploiter? The progress
sive maiden in "Sweethearts and
line into absurdity, and. although there
are times when she is almost convinc-
ingly womanly, as well as advanced, it
cannot be said that one of them is the
climax of the book, when, with
out any dramatic necessity for
such extreme measures, she swarms
up rope to rescue her
lover from a burning building.
while a brigade of London's firemen
stand by inactive 1t will not surprise
us if these belittled life-savers bring
action against Maxwell Gray for indi-
rect libel. The story is of a bright
young girl. the uneasy element in a
conventional English household, who
decides to study medicine. The fam
lily wrath is inevitable, and finds char
acteristic expression in her two broth
ers' refusing to speak to her while
she is studying.
Is an author justified in ridiculing
his hero and picturing him a prig, and,
at the same time, demanding for his
love both heroine's and read
ers respect? This does Maxwell Gray.
