A country vicar tells a curious story

some search Il was noticed that there

the accumulation. probably. Of very
many years. Strange TO say. In one
corner Of the heap. a nest OF young
mice was discovered lying on a bank
note! Il was unlnjured. no portion
had been nibbled away. and was the
only piece OF paper left entire In all
the heap. Il happened, then. that the
mouse had carried the note. folded up
as Il was. through It's hole. and then
unfolded and spread Il out as a lining
70 its nest. and had used u as a blank
e. evidently conscious Of its softness
and fexibility. The wonderful part OF
the story is the leaving OF this one
piece OF paper entire. apparently be-
cause Il was OF different texture from
the rest.

THE COLUMBIA RAILWAY.
Commissioners Report TO the House
District Committee.

Mr. Babcock OF Missouri chairman Of the
House District Committee, received from the
District Commissioners yesterday a report on
House bill 1895, which provides for the amend
ing of the charter OF the District Of Columbia
Railway Company. In the report the commits
sioners state il would be difficult TO operate the
road if constructed proposed.
1t is the intention of the company to run its
line through Twelfth Street northeast from A
TO Bunker Hill Road and Bladensburg Road from
Florida Avenue to the District line. Two extern
sions will enter the Langdon subdivision. Al
though the company received a charter in 1892
and was required TO construct the road within
two years nothing has been done. and the charter
has expired by limitation In this report the COM
missioners say that if Congress should revive the
old charter that the route OF the road should be
so changed that il should begin at Florida Avenue
and Twelfth Street northeast, thence northery
on Twelfth Street to Fifteenth Street extended;
thence noTtherly on Fifteenth Street to Detroit
Street; thence east Detroit Street; to Bladens
burg Road; thence northerly along Bladensburg
Road, to the District line provided that the rail
way shall be constructed entirely outside the
Bladensburg Road land to be acquired by
the company. The road must be operated by cleo
tricity and the company must deposit 81 900 as
guarantee of good faith.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People RidicuIe the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, Is Not Argument
and Facts are Stubborn Things

hidi'uIes ho"eFeEp Is NOb Arg uIllenI
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 never be-
ing 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 diFes-
ton, rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims of
preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret rat
ent medicine, no secret is made of their
ingredients, but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments,
pure aseptic pepsn, the digestive acids
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux.
Ihey 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 ii has time to ferment
sour and cause the mischief This is the
only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely upon the
bowels. whereas the whole trouble is real
ly in the stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals. digest the food. That is all there
is to it. Food not digested or half di-
gested Is poison, as it creates gas acid
ity. 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 30 cents per package. Address Stuart

ach diseases or ask your druggist for it.
