Mountain Torrents In the Rockies.

L. r.. Spearman, in ST. Nicholas, writes
of Queer American Rivers. Mr. Spear
man says:
Scattered among the foothills of tho
Rockies are rivers still more willful in
their habits Instead of keeping to their
duties in a methodical way, they rush
their annual work through in month or
two. Then they take long vacations. For
months together they carry no water at
all, and one may plant and build and live
and sleep in their deserted beds. But be.

barns and people. No fishing, no boating,
no swimming no skating on those treaoh-

He came into the hotel parlor without

ladies were engaged in conversation. He
was evidently a guest and had a perfect

THE DIFFERENCE.

Her dimpled fingers rilling
To the responsive trilling
OF frolicsome piano keys,
We listen, languishing at ease,
And muse until our drowsy wits
Grow tranced as in some thrilling
Dream of song caught splitting
From a wildwood revel.
But when our Janet sits up stairs
And does her daily drilling
Without surcease or shilling,
Repeating nerve destroying scales
Until ones very spirit quails,
We say we do not like her airs.
Although her music's killing.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsiu
and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is indi-
aestion or in it's chronic form dyspepsia, and
for the very reason that it is so common
many people neglect taking proper treat
ment for what they consider trifiing stom-
ach trouble, when as a matter of fact. indi-
gestion lays the foundation Tor many incur
able diseases. No person with a vigorous,
healthy stomach will fall victim to con-
sumption. Many kidney diseases and heart
troubles date their beginning from poor
digestion; thin, nervous people are really SO
because their stomachs are out of gear;
weary languid, faded-out women owe their
condition to imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion it is not sur
prising that nearly every secret patent med
icine on the market claims to be cure for
dyspepsia, as well as score of other
troubles, when, in fact, as DIR. Werthier
says there is but one genuine dyspepsia
cure which is perfectly safe and reliable,
and, moreover. this remedy is not patent
medicine, but is a scientific combination OF
pure pepsin Gree from animal matter),
vegetable essences, fruit salts and biSmuth.
1t is sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No extravagant
claims are made for them, but for indlges-
ton or any stomach trouble, Stuarts Dys-
pcpsia 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 1t. A cure results, because all the
stomach needs is rest, Which Stuart, $
Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the work

The reply was in the affirmative, and Nell
son accepted his consulship without delay.

positively that no concrete propositions on

now here doubtless would cooperate with
the United States government towards Sc

thus far has not entertained the suggestion
of charging the plan, as this would ne
