BABY CARRIED IN A vALISE.
The Queer Baggage of an Elderly
Male Passenger on an Iowa
Railway.

carrying a baby in grip is a new
wrinkle on me-" remarked an old-time
palace car conductor at Chicago hotel
the other night. 1T was away out in
western Iowa." he continued, that the
incident l am about to relate happened.
L had two porters in my car. One was
the regular porter, who is familiar with
the travelling public, and the other
darby was just being broken in. He
was on the first run and wanted to
catch on to the business. Well, sonre-
where west of Marshalltown an elderly
man climbed on the sleeper. He had
two grips, one fat one, the other a
mere hand grip. He remarked to the
porter to handle the grips very careful
ly and to keep them upright.
1.-THE man went into the smoking
apartment and ordered his grips placed
in his berth. 1t so happened that the
new porter got hold of them and
can never understand how it happened
that there wasn't a tragedy on that
car, for he took the fat grip and gave
it big toss, landing it up to the top
berth. There wasn't sound.
pretty soon the man came out of
the smoker and proceeded to retire. He
made considerable fuss about the rough
way in which his grips had been han
died and the finding of the large one
upstairs. In the night some time a
baby's voice was heard. The little one
cried several times, but always quoted
down. The sound was, traced to the
berth of the man who had been fussy
about his grips. Next morning he did
not get up and remained in the berth
until the train reached Chicago.
"When he left the car the big grip
was as heavy as ever and the porter
received the same precautions about
careful handling. l managed to get
around in front of him and asked him
if the baby was all right. He looked
a little puzzled and then answered in
the most indifferent way that it was all
right, but had spent a rather restless
night He said he always carried it in
the grip to avoid appearance, taking
along several bottles of milk when on
a long trip"

WHY THE SAILORS WENT DRY.
Their Tub-LOving Captain Had TO
Have His Fresh-Water Bath
Every Morning.

Louis, an old sea dog from Austria,
who has sailed the briny deep from
Baffins bay to No Mans Land, enjoys
comparing his present position in the
American marine service to that he once
occupied when sailing in an East In
dianman from Liverpool to Calcutta,
says the New York Sun. The vessel had
been becalmed and the water supply
ran short during a terrible hot spell.
The crew had to exist on moldy sea bis
cults, while the captain, big bully of
an Englishman, lived in luxury The
t'crew did not object to this until one
day, when every man was almost pros
trated by the heat and lack of sufficient
water, they discovered that the captain,
knowing the sufferings of the men, had
been taking baths daily in fresh water
in tub in his cabin. Almost an open
mutiny broke out, and a squad of the
tars, headed by Louis, was sent aft to
see the captain about getting some more
drinking water.
He told the captain frankly that they
knew of his taking baths daily in his
NdDiL Al II NSAl NobCls anu mat ever liz
stinct of humanity dictated that he
should forego his fresh water baths I'M
til he reached port and give the crew
the water which he would otherwise
have used for his additions. The cap
tain became livid with rage at the "all-
dacity" of the men.
What" he shouted. you blooming
lubbers want to take away from me me
mornin' tub! Not We, says I. cawn't
do without me tub, SO cawn't, We know.
Do We think can give We all the drinkin'
water We want? Not me, says l. Get
tell out O. here"
That evening he gave each man an
extra half pint of water, but he had a
fresh water bath each morning, never
theless.

Few Printers in Jail.

The first Australian newspaper. the
Sydney Gazette, was published on
March 5, 1903, Is years after the rise
of the colony. The delay was caused
through there being no printers among
the convicts, who represented every
profession, including the legal. The
plant was brought out in the first feet,
but it could not be used until the au-
thorities caught a compositor. 1t has
been suggested by a writer who has
suffered at the hands of compositors
that they keep all their crimes for the
composing room.

- CATARRH OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Ef-
 fectual Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to in curable. The usua1 symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; head aches, fckle appetite, nervousness and q general played out, languid feeling
 There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the in terior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condi- tion.
 The cure of this common and obsti- nate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily. thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate. the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disaip . peared.
 According to Dr. Harlarson the safest and best treatment is to use af- ter each meal a tablet composed of Diatase, Aseptic Pepsin. little Nux Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart'S Dys- pepSil Tablets and not being q patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy ap- petite and thorough digestion will fol- low their regular use after meals.
