Temperance Fanatics. +"

Is there a place for them in this world
of ours? Let the Rev. Phillips Brooks
answer
Never shall my hand or voice be lifted
against So-called temperance fanatics.
If ever cause justified fanaticism, the
temperance cause does To me there is
nothing more DISCUS ting, or more dis
hcal'tening to tine cause of humanity,
than the selfish, ease-loving. luxurious
man indulging in dissipation and de-
noGncing temperance fanaticism.'
What are these so called fanatics do
ing. The Epworth Herald thus COM
ments on their work:
I And did you ever stop to estimate how
many more men would be ruined. homes

pauperZed ii these temperance people
would cease their agitations and SuppE-
cations? If there had been no opposi-
ton to the saloon during the past five
ten twenty years, what would it have

''But see here. Do not scoff too much at
the feeble efforts of tine temperance IA
natics. They are keeping alive all the
public sentiment against the whisky bust

not doing all they would like to do. But

stepped up again. All the while they
were following down the platform.
One was suddenly hit in the back by
an express truck he had backed
against, and that threw him against
the other man. This caused another
collision. Matters at this stage of the
game were amusing to those who
looked on, though all felt that uneasi-
ness for fear they would get left The
man who recovered from the collision
first got aboard but the other in his
attempt, swung between the platform
and the car step, dragging for fully 80
feet. Then he swung behind the train
in such a manner that, had there been
another car, he would have been done
for.
1t was not until then that the writer
had sense enough to lend hand and
it took but a little risk and muscle to
assist the man aboard the train that
was by this time moving at fast rate
of speed. The only loss was a straw
hat and lots of patience on the part
of the two men.
These three are only the three most
exciting cases that the writer has seen.
and the other cases where there are
close escapes, are too numerous to men
tion
The modern Pullman car on a vesti-
bule train is rather bad one to board
when the train is in motion, as the
steps are so short. Yet one of the
worst effects is bruise that is sure TO
follow from collision with the side of
the car.
An amusing little incident occurred
one day this summer at a suburban
station, where a travelling man at
tempted to board moving train from
a high platform with two grips and an
overcoat to hinder. The cars We're of
the old fashioned kind with no idea of
vestibule, and without gates.
The traveller made the jump ali
right, but he lost grip, as he dropped
it when he landed on the steps to bal
ance himself, and the grip went out on
the other side of the train. He swore,
yet it was a small punishment for him
after he took the risk of his life for
the sake of not being left.
Men will make a practice of standing
about till after the train starts, yet
| they only show how little thought they
have of their relatives, for though the
man himself may be out of the suffer-
! ings of the world by being cut in two
| by a train, his relatives suffer in many
ways
| So for the good Of your reputation
and your relatives, give up that tram
| jumping habit if you have contracted
! it. If not don't contract it under any
| condition 1t doesn't make friends TOT
YOU among the railroad men.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID IN
CREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Net Be Alarmed, Blu. Look for the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of American
business life, it is more often the re-
suit of weak stomachs, of poor diges-
ton.
Real. organic heart disease is in
durable; but not one case in a hundred
OF heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
OF the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the heart is
afected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a feel
ing OF oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs.
| interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
| The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation OF
food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals, of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in pleasant, convenient
| form.
1t is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except cancer
in the stomach.
i Full sized package of the tablets sold
by druggists at 50 cents.

Pulsifer tried the right end and
: worked the ball over toward the mid
die goal posts with 3-yard loss. The
ball was then pAesed to Halliday who
made drop kick from the field.
With less than three minutes more
to play Colby kicked off and when time
was called the ball was in Bates hands
on the Bates 20-yard line.
4 Pulsifer got the ball on the kickoff
in the second half and Bates now had
q comparatively easy thing working
the ball and yards at a time to tho
20-yard line. During this time there
We're no sensational plays, everything
being straight foot ball with never
more than a 5-yard gain, big holes be-
ing opened up in Colby's line.
On the 20yard line the Colby line
held and Bates lost the ball on downs
Haggerty made 2 yards through the
tackle and Rice went through the left
tackle for 10 yards through the hole
which Allen and Scannell opened up
Here the Bates line held and Colby
lost the ball on downs.
Halliday got the ball on the kickoff
and Bates proceeded to again rush the
ball down the field, the crippled Colby
line offering but slight resistance or
account of the hard playing the men
had been doing in the first half With
the ball on the 2-yard line Pulsifer
again put the ball across the line and
Halliday kicked the goal.
When Colby had again kicked off
and the ball had been worked down to
the 25-yard line Colby held for three
downs and Pulsifer tried the right end
but was downed by Haggerty with no
gain. Here Fowler rushed in and took
the ball and carried it across the line
The claim was made that the ball was
down and after 10 minutes delay IN
talking over the situation the ball was
given to Colby and worked back to 35-
yard line where Colby lost it ON downs.
Pulsifer was sent around the left end
when the ball had been placed on the
l"-yard line by the old plays against
the centers and around the ends, and
across the line for touchdown. Hal
liday kicked the goal. With minutes
more to play the game was stopped on
