ble little help, and she would supply the need by a perfectly reliable child in any livery desired.
 At first only women of very modest means called for the aid of pages, for the least pretentious flat holder, found she could afford trim butler at less expense and vastly greater effect than an extra woman in to help on reception days; but eventually the philanthropist, by a very cunning device, caught the patronage as well of the rich folks
 She merely turned some of her boys out in smart brooches, white silk hose, buckled shoes and gay satin coats, laced and braid- ed. She rubbed lard and flour in the little fellows hair and promptly got a whole series of engagements for these specimens from the smartest women in town.
 So popular did this miniature fiundxey become that in progressive spirit she inveigled into her service an intelligent little colored boy, tielI his woody head in bright scarlet cotton costume left his legs bare from the knees down, put his feet into red leather, heelless slippers and found even more employment for him than her ordinary funkeys.
 It is needless to say that the boys take happily to their profession. are proud to learn, anxious to please, and some of them have gone into regular training to become expert buffers as soon as they grow big enough.
 The majority, so the philanthrop,st says, have higher aims, but find it more profita- ble to go to school in the morning, earn their support in the afternoon, and tfhis avoid the necessity of taking positions as | district messengers, office boys, ar cash l runners in shop.
 As for the philanthropist. she only laid | out few dollars on suits for her protsges l and certain amount of time in instruct | ing her pupils.

amused for their efforts. At one end or the grand salon, in an old Roman palace, dais three steps high was raised ana GOV cred with scarlet cloth. All natural ltsnt was excluded from the room. and no art- ficial Illumination introduced, save about the dais, where towering candelabra heid perfumed wax candles softly shaded Grim son velvet curtains framed the dais, myr- tie and orange trees, blooming in tubs, sned their heavy perfume about great gilded chair, upholstered in red velvet, in which D'Annunzio sat, arrayed in black, to read from Dante the Bible and his own works. The effect of the gloom-shrouded salon, the weighty odors and the funereal novelist, was said to be overwhelming. Many women tainted, but returned to the scene Of &C., tion to witness the final crowning of the reader with laurel wreath by damsel dressed to represent Fame.
 A telegram from San Francisco says:
 Walter Sanger Pullman, one of the sons of the late George M. Pullman, was mar ried to Miss Louise Lander West, of this city The wedding took place at the home of the Rev. John Bakewell, rector of Trini- ty church, in Oakland.
 Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Pullman made application to Deputy County Clerk Mason for a license to marry. It was granted. Taking carriage he and Miss West drove to the home or the clergyman, who performed the ceremony in the par lors of his home, the clergyman's wife and Miss Robbins friend of Mrs Bakewell, acting as witnesses. After the ceremony the couple went away as quietly as they had come, without making explanation or leaving any address.
 The acquaintance of the young couple is of few weeks. Mrs. Pullman, who re- sided at the Palace with her sister, Mrs. Hugh McDonell, is daughter Of the late Chester H. West, who was pioneer of 1S49, having made trip around the Horn with the earliest gold-seekers. He became a banker in this city, and vas at one time wealthy. He left little oerty, and his daughters made their WI way in the world, teaching in the public schools Hugh Mcdonnell, who is now young Pull mans brother-in-law, is wealthy mine- owner of New York city.
 The late Gen. Frederick Lander was an uncle of the Misses West, and they are the nieces of Judge Lander, of Washington, ID C

 digestion.

The national disease of Americans is in- digestion or in Its chronic form, d.; zs~psa, and for the very reason that it is so conn nor many people neglect taking proper treatment for what they consider trifling stomach trouble when as a matter of fact
 indigestion lays the foundation for many incurable diseases. No person with vdg- orous. healthy stomach will fall victim to consumption. Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their beginning from poor digestion; thin, nervous people are really 50 because their stomachs are out of gear; weary, languid. faded out women

 When nearly every person you meet Is afflicted with weak digestion 1t Is not sur pilsing that nearly every secret patent medicine on the market claims to be a cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of other troubles, when in fact, as Dr Wethier says, there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is perfectly safe and reliable, and moreover this remedy is not a patent medi- cine, but it is a scientific combination of pure pepsin (free from auimal matter), veg etable essences, fruit salts and bismuth. It is sold by druggists under name of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, No extravagant claims are made for them, but for indiges- ton or any stomach trouble, Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discovered. They act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply eat all the wholesome food you want and these tablets will digest it. A cure results, because all the stomach needs is a rest which Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the work of digestion.
 Druggists sell these tablets at 50cts per package Little book on stomach diseases and testimonials sent free by addressing Stuart Co.,, chemists, Marshall, Mich.

A Top-Heavy System.

From the Alabama Christian Advocate.
 We rejoice to see the interest being man. ifested in the improvement of the common schools of the state. The Age-Heraid Is leading a masterful fight for our public school system, and we certainly hope that for the good of the state the fight will be successful There is no doubt about the fact that Alabama's school system is top heavy, some few being favored at the ex- pense of the many. statistical report showing the amount that the state spends per capita for the few, compared with the amount spent per capita for the many, would make interesting reading.
 The District Schools. kyE From the Roanoke Herald
 A good deal is being said in the papers just now about the agricultural experiment stations that have been established by the state. There are nine of these stations one in each congressional district They cost the state $50,000 per year at the least calculation. It is true that they furnish good salaries to corps of about fifty teachers, supporting their families in good style, but beyond this they are the veriest farces. So far as the educational results intended are concerned, this great sum of money is annually thrown away. These so-called experiment stations really amount to nothing more than high schools for the communities in which they are To- cated, but it falls rather heavily on the people of other sections.

The Flag Raising

This morning the weather reg
ulator and old Pluvius permitted
the exercises TO take place at the
OcaIa Graded School, which
hoiSted beautiful United States
flag, the thoughtful and gcner-
Gus gift of Trustee Simon Benia-
min, to the top Of the flag staff,
which surmOuntS the cupola Of
the building.
Trustee Judge w. S. Bullock
made splendid presiding officer,
and introduced the speakers from
the foot Of the front steps of the
building, with pupils, teachers,
patrons and friends arranged
around. While the school sang
"Amcrica,' Mr.. Benjamin's
scven-ycar-old son, Louis Walter
Benjamin, who was stationed in
the cupola with halyardS in hand,
raised the flag to the masthead,
which was very proud moment
for the youth, as he is simon
pure patriotic American, and an
incident in his life he Will never
forget. Mr.. Simon Ben amin
made the presentation speech
and an excellent one it was.
Among the many good things
said was that he was a citizen by
adoption and sought this country
and the protecting folds of the
flag because of the rights, priv
leges and opportunities denied in
his mother country and vouched
in this.
Clifford Anderson, son Of Rob-
ert l.. Anderson, the choice of the
school, made very pretty re-
Spouse to Mr.. Ben amin, thank
ing him for the gift and the in
terest they would take in 1t,
ever mindful Of It's glorious his
tory and the inspiration its pres
ence would arouse in their hearts.
Mr.. Anderson closed by recit-
ing the patriotic lines: Forever
float that standard Sheet etc.
The school then sang "Colum-
bia," when Mayor John G. Rear
don, on behalf of the trustees of
the school, of which be is chairman,
accepted the flag and did it as he
always does in an address that
is worthy of publication, but
space for the present mist suffice
in saying he first proposed three
cheers for President Mckinley,
which were heartily given. He
was proud to acknowledge that
this splendid and patriotic gift,
came from an adopted citizen and
equally SO that youth born in
Ocala should accept the flag in
the name of the school. He then |
referred to history of the flag
made by the aborjgines of tiI5
county, the coat Of arms Oh
same, consisting Of darts and |
feathers and finally graduating
with George WaShington's flag, |
"our flag" which has never come

voiced, closing with the words |
