AN UNHAPPY LIFE.
The Emperor of China Is Busy
Man.

FROM the Chicago News.
Il ihc report that the emperor of
China had been assassinated were true
it, would have meant that the Young
nau had escaped FROM Il very drcary
lie and if he had been consulted he
woIld probably have welcomed release
with JOY. Naturally very little is
luoVn Of tho private life of the en-
peYor OF China, but from time to time
a few interesting facts crop up. The
unhappy monarch is compelled to rise
every morning at o'clock. At 3. by
which time his toilet is completed, h
receives the ministers and from that
time till 8 is occupied with affairs Of
state. lie breakfasts at . ana dimes
~ > in the afternoon.
IN spite of the great number of otl-
cialS and servants In the palace the
poor man is perhaps the worst served
master in the world. The menu for
every day is written out a Ions time
beforehand and it is by no means ccr-
tain that such things as Young vege-
tables ana certain kinds of fruit are
to be had on given day; things are
80 badly arranged that they often
make their first appearance on the en-
season at least Il month. 4 is strict
etiquette that no single thing of q kind
shall ever be put before his majesty:
everything, even the fish, must he

THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR lNDlGeS-
TON.
AS Well as the Safest and Cheapest.

The new medical discovery, Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food in
stead OF making the worn out stomach
do all the work, give IL much needed
rest, and a cure of dyspepsia is the
natural result.
You get nOurishment and rest at the
same time because these Tablets will
thoroughly digest all wholesome food
taken into the stomach whether the
stomach works or not. A cure is GER
tain TO result because the digestive or
cans are given chance to rest and
recover their natural Vigor and tone.
The Tablets are then no longer re-
quircd
To show the manner In which the
remedy acts on different people and
Fow quickly and cfectually it cures
stomach troubles We present u few re-
cent cases.
Mr. j. q, Wondly, Of Peoria, ILL.,,
writes: | was unable to cat anything
but the plaiuest food and even that
often distressed me, but since using
one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

aCh and gas at night. ] am thankful
for them.

| Tablets are the best thing for dys-

them to anyone troubled as bad as I
was.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will not
