From
Hawaiian
Fruit.

The Guava, like the Mango,
a fruit which furnishes food
for many a people throughout
all tropical countries, possesses
medicinal virtues which are
certainly beneficial. A fam
Gus English writer, in treating
on the subject, stated that the
Almighty might have made a
better fruit, but if so it had
not been discovered.

Cordial

We have prepared a Cor
dial from the fruit of the
Guava which cannot be sur
passed for correcting bowel
troubles. A sure panacea for
dysentery and summer COM

pleasant.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place
and Indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes. but 1t
was never intended for a medicine, and
people who use it for such will some
day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
ha bit which thousand of people practlce
almost daily, and one which IS trauSnt
with danger; moreover the soda only
gives temporary relief and IN the enc q
the stomach trouble gets worse ana

The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where II 3ccu-
INFLATED in the intestines, causing death
by Inflammation or peritonltls.
Dr. HarIandson recommends as the
safest and purest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. IheSe
tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
ural acids, peptOnes and digestive ele-
ments essential to good digestion, ana
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before 1t has
time to ferment, sour and poison the
blood and nervous system.
DR. Wuerth states that he invaria bly,
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets IN all
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure not only FOR
sour stomach. but by promptly d1gest1ng
the food they create a healthy appetite,
increases flesh and strengthen the &C
ton of the heart and liver They are
not cathartfc, but intended only for
stomach diseases and weakness and
will be found reliable in any stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach

INGALLS, AND COLD MIKE"
An Old Discharged Engineers Inter
view With the President of
the eBig Four"

From the Indianapolis Journal.
For more than forty years, man ana
bov. old Mike was in the employ of the
Big Four and for more than thirty
years he was an engineman. he felt
that his position was assured, until sud
denly there came an order Tor ms as
missaI. He had been reported as unht
under the rules, and when he made his
last run between Indianapolis and Gin
cinnati and stepped off his engine at
Indianapolis there were tears in the old
mans eyes. In a broken voice he told
the news to his wife, and they both
cried.
Go to Cincinnati and see Mr.. In
gaIs,' suggested Mary, the wife.
Mike after some study over the mat
ter, decided to do 50, and few days
later he was in the presidents office at
Cincinnati Mr.. Ingalls, required the
reason of the visit.
I have been discharged" replied
Mike, with misty eyes.
We'll, I'm not surprised" answered
the president, cOolly; what is the mat
ter nOw?''
'.They say I cannot pass inspection"
"WeH, you don't expect to remain In
the service of the company when you
cannot pass inspection, do yOu?"
You have known me q long time,
Mr. Ingalls," said the old engineman,
''and I have hauled you many a time.

nor was I ever called on the carpet.

the Big -Four, and now that am an
old man, I should not be thrown OUT
You got pay for every day you
worked, didn't you?''
Yes. sir; but I think that long and
faithful service should not be forgotten"
You had better go home and rest up
the balance of your life. You are too
old, anyhow"
But, Mr. ingalls,, I can run an en-
CINE IS good as any man on the road
I don't think So" interrupted the
president.
Then you mean that I am like an old
engine, and must go to the scrap pile,
because am worn out?''
That's what l mean. Now don't
bother me any more. Mike; I am busy
Mike went out with bitter thoughts
and bad feelings. He cried frequently
as he sat in the coach on his way home
AS he stepped from the car in the union
handed him a telegram. which he tore
open with trembling fingers. This is
whet he read:

Mr.. Michael --, INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.

myself. This is your authority.
IN. E. INGALLS,, President
Not long so there were murmurings
on the road, and at the shops here a
man wondered if, should the worst
come, there would be enginemen enough
to take out train.

NATURE CHANGED BY BITE
Rattlesnake Imparts Its Character
istics to a Georgia Girl

Rome. Ca. Feb. 21.-NIiss Carrie Pom
der, IS years of age, died here at IL
o'clock this morning. Her death was
caused by the bite of a rattleSnake, re
ceived three years ago
Surrounding her life since the rattle
snake buried its deadly fangs in her
finger is the most marvellous story OF a
dual existance ever recorded.
Three years ago Miss Ponder was a
handsome girl living in Walker county,
Ca, at the foot of the COputta noun
tains. She was in perfect health.
One day. while working among flow
ers, Miss Ponder felt a keen pain in the
middle finger of her left hand she was
Mortified to hear the peculiar hiss OF a
mountain RATHER, the most venOmOus of
snakes.
The wound was cauterized and stimu-
lants We're poured down the girl until
she was in state of stupefaction. Her
life was saved only to doom her to
years of intense suffering.
Her trouble assumed many of the
characteristics of tuberculosis. She lost
her frank and buOyant cordially and
became crafty and sly.
One year ago she came here to live
with a brother and receive expert med
ical attention, and shortly afterward
was confined to her bed. Then all the
characteristics of a serpent became ap-
parent in the girl Her mind was inn
paired to the end save when she was
dominated by that other terrible self.
At such times her tongue would dart
out, a peculiar kissing noise came from
beady, glittering appearance of a ser
penis. Then everyone feared to touch
her.
One night about two weeks ago Miss
Ponder suddenly sat up rigid and erect
in bed She gazed at those present for
moment, {. terrible venOmOus light in
her eyes, then, Selling the cover, the
girl pulled it over her head tightly and
fell back on the pillow. It was thought
that she was dead, but such was not
the case.
She resisted every effort to draw the
quilt away from her, and remained thus
several hours Now and then she rails
ed the corner of the quilt and looked at
those present, the eyes brilliant and
sparkling with an awful light When
observed she would quickly cover her
head.
One week ago the hands of a clock on
the mantel stopped at exactly 1880
O'Clock, though the timepiece licked on
aud1bily. Morning and night since then
at precisely 1850 the clocks hands have
stopped.
Miss Ponder died at 1850. This is
vouched for by people of lnquestioned
integrity
Two months ago, one night. a huge
owl perched on the window wherein the
sick woman lay. It's dismal boot cur
died the blood of those present. When
the bird had been frightened away. Miss
Ponder said, an unearthly light shining

sional district will hold the convention
to nominate a candidate for congress
at Smith Center June Z. This date was
selected by the congressional commit
tee which held a meeting at Colby last
Saturday afternoon.
TAYLOR Riddle, chairman of the state
committee attended the meeting of the
committee at Colby and succeeded in
convincing the members that an early
convention would be advisable.
The date of the state convention has
been fixed at June 20, but there is con-
siderable opposition to this idea. The
selection of June by the Sixth district
committee indicates that the admins
tration exercised influence in favor of
beginning che campaign early in the
summer.
Mr.. Riddle says Congressman McCOr-
mick will be renOminated and expresses
the opinion that none of the remaining
candidates has a show for the place.

To sidetrack Madden.

The Democratic state central commit

STORY ABOUT ROCKY FORD.
Told at the Depot and Tt Now Holds
the Championship.

Quite a crowd We're gathered around
the Santa Fe depot telling stories and
each one told was bigger than the
rest. The story tellers were divided be-
tween farmers and railroad men and
the stories were of terrible wrecks and
large crops and they were stories of no
small imagination. One farmer had
told of a carrot that grew so deep that
it had to be blasted out and an old
railrOader had told of a wreck where
the engine jumped clear over a car
when a modest man who was neither a
railrOader or a farmer stepped into the
center of the crowd and said, Il have
heard your stories and I want to tell
one that is both good from a railroad
and an agricultural standpoint. You
all know of the large melons grown at
Rocky Ford, Col. ? Well what do you
suppose was the largest one ever grown
there?''
Two hundred pounds said one.
Big as a barrel said another.
mo, you are all wrong" said the
story teller, the largest melon grown
there was grown last summer. It was
about a half a mile from the railroad
tracks and it grew at the rate of 40
knots an hour. The fact is it grew so
fast that it wore the rind out and all
the railroad tracks were washed away
by the water in the melon -''
An ambulance was called.

ably.
L ne rear brakeman OF all through
of his run, in which he reports the
condition of the switch signals and
semaphore signals. He reports wheth-
er the semaphore is turned to danger
before he is out of sight of it. At night
it is frequent that a high wind blows
out the switch lamps, but as there are
so many through trains on the road,
the reports make it imperative that the
station agents keep a careful watch.
The reports are filed with the trainmas-
ter of the division and can be referred
to at any future date to ascertain the
condition of the signals.
