Gold Pound in the Philippine Islands.

On Mindanao, one of the Philippine
islands, gold is found in the river beds,
but owing to the primitive conditions
prevailing there it is not known how rich
these deposits are. With the advance OF
civilization this matter will be fully in
vestigated by shrewd prospectors. Great
discoveries may be made, but no discov-
cry was ever greater than Hostetter'S
Stomach Bitters, which civilization long
ago investigated and found to be all that
is claimed for it In cases of loss of
appetite, indigestion, biliousness n
constipation it acts in a truly wonderful
manner. The bowels are made to act
mildly, the desire for food is increased,
sour stomachs are sweetened, and a
healthy color is given to the face. A
trial is recommended.

THE LAWN STILL UNCUT.

INA wanted pa to NOW the lawn
last night after he'd ct his supper, but
he wouldn't, all he was mad cause ma
asked him to.
"He said ma seemed to think he was
nothin but an old machine with the
steam up about Is hours out of the "a.
An he said he'd been workin like the
deuce all day, an he was hot all tired,
an he'd be hanged if he'd cut any old
lawn.
"Ma said the grass was so high she
was 'shamed of it, an she said all the
rest of the men in the neighborhood
kept their lawns trimmed nice an she
said they was proberly all talkin bout
how slack our'n looked.
Spa said he didn't care if the grass
was high, an he said t would have time
to git higher still fore he broke his
back cuttin Of it. An he said if the
neighbors were feelin very bad bout it
they might come over an cut it any
time. He said when there come a good
cool day he'd try an cut it, but he
couldn't do it when he was all tagged
out the way he was then, an ma didn't
say no more bout the lawn.
pretty soon some fellers come along
that pa knew an they wanted him to go
down to Haverhill with 'em, an pa
grabbed his wheel an went off with
'em.
"An ma was orful mad. She said it
looked as though pa was tired most to
death, when he could push a bicycle

for nothin too. An she said for all the
good pa was to her she might just as

his companions showed a disposition to
go to sleep.
Bousfield was the first to succumb to
somnolence, and Lamorock even began
to feel sleepy himself. He fought against
the sensation by getting up to admire
the oolored photographs beneath the hat
rails and by trying to fix his attention
upon the passing scenery.
He opened his cigar case, counted and
examined the contents and looked puz-
zled. He was apparently satisfied that
he had not given himself one of the
drugged cigars, for he pulled vigorously
away at his stump, hoping that it
would help to keep him awake. He once
thought that the fumes of his compan.
ions cigars might be affecting him and
opened both windows. But he found the
cold air had no effect.
The intruder also began to look as il
he would soon follow Bousfield's exam
pie. He vainly tried to look wide
awake, but his lids would droop heav-
lily, his head would sink down upon his
Slllu auu AO WOu4A UACA pun M W
gether by a supreme effort and try to sit
up straight.
Their respective struggles to keep
awake, however, grew more and more
feeble until the pair finally collapsed in
their corners and slept as if they would
never wake again.
When the train arrived at Swindon
junction, the guard discovered them all
asleep, and after trying in vain to rouse
them up, the conviction dawned upon
him that it was a case of foul play. The
three patients were taken out and re-
moved to the hospital, arrangements
being made by the police that Oh their
recovery all three should be detained in
custody pending Investigations. So
when they had been brought round to
consciousness they were taken to the
police station.
Harry Bousfield easily established his
identity and was set at liberty, but the
information that the police obtained
about his companions, the revolvers
they found in both their overcoats, two
t~elltale cigars and two equally damning
cigar stumps, the remnants Of curacao
in the flask and a very suspicious false
beard-all these incidents led to their
arrest, trial and subsequent conviction.
Scotland Yard keeps the flask as a Gu.
riosity, for it has two compartments
from which the contents can be drawn
at the will Of the owner by a light
pressure on a secret spring. Both COM
partments contained curacao, but what
was left Of one sample was found to be
drugged while the other was pure.
The jovial gentleman, like Lamorock,
had had his imagination fred by the
accounts that the newspapers gave Of
the great pink diamond. He had wormed
it out Of a clerk in Messrs. Bousfields'
Office that the Junior partner was taking
it up to town, and he thought that the
opportunity for which he had waited SO
long had at length arrived.
Tearing away to his lodgings, he had
provided himself with his flask and a
revolver and was Just in time to catch
the train. When the whole facts were
revealed in the police court, the mutual
establishment of Lamorock and the jolly
gentleman was past description. 1t beat
even that of Harry Bousfield. All the
three actors in this scene are now firmly
convinced that one of the i%noaloulable
elements controlling mans destiny is
sheer luck. London Sun.

a savage lion. The men who perform this
foolhardy act are few and far between,
There are tens of thousands of men who
daily do a much more rash and dangerous
deed. They are the men who oyerwork
and neglect their health. No man can do
this with impunity. The inevitable result
is serious illness and premature death.
One of the most common results of care.
lessness in regard to health is consumption.
There is one, and only one, unfailing rem.
edy for this dread disease. It is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t has a record
of thirty years, during which time it has
cured % per cent. of all cases of bronchial,
throat and lung affections. 1t acts directly
on the digestive and nutritive organism. It
creates a healthy appetite for food, facili-
tates the flow of digestive juices and pro-
notes the assimilation of the life-givinp ele-
ments of the food. 1t is the great blood-mak-
er, fesh-builder and nerve-tonic. In cases
of nervous prostration it builds up the nerve
fbres and gives sound, refreshing sleep.

HER LETTER..

Her leitsr came today
A tiny, crisscrossed thing,
And fen Of saucy quips and cranks,
And girlish grace and glee.
She told of the last new play,
OF the songs she'd learned to sing,
OF how she'd declined with thanks"
A 'lord of high degree"
She sent a sample Of her gown,
"a marvel in garnet and brown"
She wrote of talks
And moonlight walks
Beside some azure water;
OF dances "some one'' taught her.
And so the pages, interlined,
Ran on-and then in haste she signed,
"Most truly y~ours-your daughter"
But in u corner she had writ,
81 love you; mother, every bit
I love, and love and love your

A New Life Belt.

Swimmers are generally very suspi.
cious with regard to life belts, for un-
less these c~ontrivances are we'll made

dangerous in use. Some are SO bulky
that they impede all action. This de.

that in the recent fatal ~oapsizing of a
lifeboat at Margate the men had not
donned their corks on this very ground.

There is a certain generous hearted
gentleman in Atlanta who until a few
nights ago had an excellent opinion Of
all newsboys. He has changed now, says
The Journal.
When he saw the stereoptioon exhibit
ton Miss Jerry advertised to appear at
the Grand, he decided to give the news
boys a treat. Every that could be
found was given a ticket Of admission
to the gallery. The boys formed into
two companies and marched to the the
alter.
When the performance began, all the
lights in the house were turned out.
This was absolutely necessary. The first
picture shown was greeted with cheers
by the n%ewsboys. The man who had
brought them there smiled. He only
smiled once, however. The picture dis
appeared at the proper time, and before
another could be shown the boys in the
gallery began to yell.
Then a shower of pins fred from rub
bers on the fingers of the newsboys
rained down upon the audience. One
boy threw an apple. It struck q lady on
the head. The lady screamed, and then
the. newsboys yelled with delight.
Grains Of corn, programmes, cigarette
boxes and dirt were sent flying down
upon the persons in the pit.
The gentleman who had been instru-
mental in bringing the boys to the the.
alter rushed to the gallery. He begged
them to be quiet. They gave him the
laugh. Officers were finally called in,
and the boys were made to form a line
and march out. They made as much
noise in leaving as a band Of Indians on
the warpath would have done. The boys
have now lost u admirer.
