Question and Answer.

When naughty Spain from DER the seas,
Cried what do you demand"'
Said Uncle Sam, "Oh if you please
I'll take Cuban land.
And send my trusty boys in blue
To make out the survey,
And Mistress Spain, you'll find It's true,
They have winning way.
And while they're stalking off the claim,
I'll add Philippine,
Don't be disturbed about the same,
And ask what Dewey mean.
Expansion Mum, we're in the race
And l shall drive the team,
Before you | will frankly place i.
The Merritt of the scheme"
Now Mistress Spain, your wealth is gone
Your credit too, is bad,
Your throne is weak to lean upon,
Your morals make me sad,
My treasury is more than full
Of money and of law,
Surplus on hand-would buy and rule
The isles l ask you for.
I'll graft the wild half devil man,
With principles the best,
BranG-semi- Pilgrim Puritan,
It's stood a rigid test.
What little sin we had in stock
I've shuffled off in trade,
Our piety rests on bed rock,
Our movements are up grade"
I've shown up Croker and his schemes,
And almost worn out Quay;
To Alger said, my friend it seems
You need a holiday,
Eagan and beef I've set aside
Of equal worth and test,
The Powers being pacitied
I'll extend with the rest.
If England's flag waves DER Khartoum,
And Williams royal crown
In Chinese ports finds ample room,
yum, l won't back down!
And all the world shall see and know
Just what | want and am,
If things don't move when say go
Then exit Uncle Sam.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease Of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble, at least among the Amer
leans, is certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely due to the excite
ment and worry of American business
life, it is more often the result Of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion
Real organic disease is incurable: but
not one case in a hundred of heart trou-
BILE is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves
the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion.
which causes gas and fermentation from
half dgested food. There is a feeling Of
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended sto1
mach on the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action; hence arises palpitation
and short breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making IL 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 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 ele-
ments in a pleaeant. convenient form
II is safe TO say that the regular per-
sistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
At rnealtime Will cure any form OF sto-
mach trouble except cancer Of the sto-
mach.

GREAT CERE MONY
Bohemians Do Honor
to Their Owl.

Even the owl of Bohemia binked its
eyes at the magnificent pageant which
passed before its orbs last night within
the walls Of the famous club which takes
its name from the hooting bird. The new
links room. which is located in the new
building adjoining the club, was dedicated
last night with all the pomp and cere-
mony so dear to the hearts of true Bohe-
mians. In attendance at the ceremonies

Boats.
SURVEY PARTY'S ADVENTURES
GOVERNMENT EXPEDITION IS
SUCCESSFUL.
SURVEY PARTY'S ADVENTURE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LANGTRY, Texas, Oct. 2S.-Professor
Robert T. Hill of the United States Geo
logical Survey and party pulled out Of the
Rio Grande here last evening after a voy-
age of over 800 miles through the wonder
full canyons of the stream between Pre-
sidio Del Norte and this place. The trip
was one OF unusual hardship and was
made in three boats. Every few miles the
boat had TO be dragged over rapids and
falls and at one place portage was made
over fallen rocks 1S0 feet high in the
Grand Canyon. Almost the entire dis
tance traversed was through canyons
with great vertical walls. and no less
than fifteen canyons and mountain ranges
were crossed.
The complete survey and meandering Of
the river was obtained, together with over
200 Photographic views of the magnificent
scenery, which Professor Hill pronounces
to be unsurpassed in this country. Valua-
bic results were secured concerning the
geological history and physical geogra-
ply. Hardly a dozen persons were seen
along the route. The survey is untravers
able to man or beast in all but few
places. Only the most fortunate combina-
ton of circumstances made the trip possi-
BILE, and, Notwithstanding the important
scientific results, the whole party avowed
that all the money in the United States
treasury would not make them undertake
1T again.
Professor Hill attributes the success of
the expedition to the herculean strength
of his chief OF party, Henry Ware of Col
orado. and the knowledge Of James Nc
Mahan an old trapper, who has hunted
beaver for many years along its course.
Professor Hill and party discovered
number of rich veins of gold and silver
along the canyon walls, and ii is prob
able an effort will be made to develop
these prospects by members of the party.
Evidences of the canyon formerly having
been inhabited by cliff dwelers were dis
covered

PASADENA, Oct. 2S.-Friends and rela-

from him. Starr is the man who mystic
riously disappeared from Oak Knoll ranch
last spring, leaving every sign that he
away. Later he wrote from Manila that
he was alive, had enlisted under some
other name while unbalanced in his mind
and wanted to get home.
His later letters maintain this story. He
asks if the men under his employ were all
paid off when he went. If so he lost only
$50 and a watch He says letters have
been written to the War Department and
commanders at Manila, but nothing has
been heard from them vet.
