Medical books are not always inter-
estlng reading, especially to people en-
Toying good health, but as matter Of
TACT scarcely one person in ten is per-
fectly healthy, and even with such,
sooner or later sickness must come.
1t is also a well established truth
that nine-tenths of all diseases origin
ate with breaking down of the di-
gestlon, weak stomach weakens and
lmpoveriShes the system, making it
easy for disease to gain a foothold
Nobody need fear consumption, kid
ney disease, liver trouble or a weak
heart and nervous system as long as
the digestion is good and the stomach
able to assimilate plenty of wholesome
food.
Stomach weakness shows itself in a
score OF ways and this little book de-
scrlbes the symptoms and causes and
points the way to a cure so simple that
any one can understand and apply.
thousands have some form of stom-

Vousness, insomnia, palpitation. con-
otlpallOH ana similar symptoms TO

Get your digestion on the right track

dyspepsia, arlylaceous dyspepsia, ca
tarrh Of stomach and all affections OF
the digestive organs in plain language

Margieis First Burro Ride.

=
Johnny Armstrong had burre, a
little, shaggy, long-eared creature that
looked as droll and jolly as burro can.
One day little Maggie Lane came with
her mamma to spend :. Tie day. Maggie
hadn't been long in Kansas, and had
lived away back east, where they don't
have-well, great many things that
Kansas girls and boys know all about.
Johnny felt very shy and hardly knew
just how to entertain the little girl, but
pretty soon he said in such teasing
way, 'guess you're SO little you can't
f1ti t1iuch;'' which challenge was of
course the signal for race and as they
"both beat" his respect for the little
city girl increased and he told her all
about his greatest treasure, Jacko, the
burro:
Margie thought it must be the most
wonderful little pony she had ever heard
about and begged for ride.
When she saw Jacko, she didn't think
him the least bit ugly. with his great
long ears, shaggy coat and solemn eyes;
and he was such a tiny little creature,
too, and when Johnnie fetched out his
cute little saddle and bride, she danced
and clapped her hands for pure joy and
could do nothing but laugh, it seemed
On worry, lilo
But Jacko didn't prove fairy-like
steed. He positively refused to bulge
one inch. The children, coaxed, pulled
and begged but Jacko stood stock still
in the hot sun, calmly blinking his great
sleepy eyes.
Johnny had never known him to be
so stubborn before; but the day was
such drowsy hot one, and perhaps
Jacko felt cross that his little master
should be so thoughtful of his comfort;
for I don't believe ponies like to 60
about in the hot sun any better than
people do.
Any way; he was stubborn, and re.
used sugar, green grass and everything
lice they offered him most all afternoon,
md they were pretty tired and wee
ut cross themselves. They were talk
ng about getting off and putting him :
'ack in the stable, when up MentJBcko's
ead and tail and away he ran.
A while ago they had taken off Jacko's
addle, and now it was difficult to stay
n his back !; and pretty soon when he
lmped over little ditch, off they both
lmbled and fell in. And oh, such for
,rn looking children you never saw!
IL drabbled with black mud and just
ristling with sand-burrs! How Johnnie
ughed at Margie, and Margie laughed :,
, him.
Margie had a great many rides on
ner ponies afterwards, but never such =
gay one as that. Johnnie declared
was the. jolliest ride Jacko had ever
ven him, and l believe Jacko rather
ljoyed it himself don t you?

scrubs, and was commanded by a
range OF higher hills little further
to the eastward. Thus the Spapiards,
who soon plucked up courage, were
able not only to creep close up to our
camp under cover OF the bushes, but
to fire upon 1t from the higher slopes
of the wooded range. The marines re-
Piled vigorously to the fire of their
hidden foe, and there ensued hit or
miss engagement which continued,
with an occasional intermission, for
four days and nights. Finally, how
ever, the marines managed to cut
away the chaparral around the crest
OF the hill so as to enlarge the clear
ing, in which they planted half dozen
rapid fire guns; and on the fourth day
of the long fight the Spaniards gave
up the contest and abandoned the
field.
Major Henry c. Cochrane, second in
command of the marines, says In his
official report that he slept only an
hour and half in the four days, and
that many of his men became SO ex-
hausted that they fell asleep standing
on their feet with their rifles in their
hands. Major Cochrane, whose brav-
cry in the face of desperate and unseen
odds is sure to be duly and generously
rewarded, is a veteran of the Civil
War, and has been an officer OF ma
rines since 1868. He Is native of
Chester, Pennsylvania, and entered
the navy as a mere boy at the first
call to arms in 1861. As soon as he
reached the necessary age he was
transferred to the marine corps and
saw active service on blockade duty
along the Atlantic coast, on the Mis-
sissippi River. and in the Gulf.
Since then his long cruises have taxi
en- him to all the grand divisions OF
the earth. He was sent on shore from
the Lancaster, at Alexandria, with a de-
tachment of marines to assist in pre-
serving order after the bombardment
of that city by the British. At the last
Paris Exposition. he commanded the
marine guard which won such high
encomiums from officials OF all coun-
tries, and was decorated by the French
president with the Cross Of the Legion
of Honor. He was orator Of the day
on the Fourth of July that the Con-
stHution of the Republic of Hawaii
was promulgated, was in Moscow at
the coronation of the late Car and has
spent summer in Behring Sea, help
ing to guard the seals. Before start
ing for his perilous service in Cuba
he was in command of the marine bar
racks at Newport, Rhode Island.
