THE RICHEST BEGGAR ON

EAh II.
The richest bcggar in the world lives
in Russia, and is computed TO he worth
nearly a million dollars. He was horn
without feet OF arms, and his physical
defects have brought him great sym
pathy and much cash. Sympathy would
be better bestowed if it were given to
the army of industrious men in this conn
try who overwork themselves and break
down their health. These men lose their
appetitcs. and their stomachs ''go back
OH Them" as they express it. Their
nerves are shattered and they cannot
sleep. They have torpid livcrs. and be-
come bilious and il-natured. The quick
cst way for these men to recover their
health is to take I10stetter's Stomach
Pitters, which is intended particularly
for those who suffer from any or all
the complaints, mentioned above. This
remedy is so well known that it is recog-
nized as one Of the worlds standard
medicines.

None of the wars in which Americans
have engaged have developed a more
splendid hero than the brave naval
officer, Ensign Monaghan, who gave UP
his own life in standing by his wound
ed cemrade, Lieutenant Lansdale, de-
liberately sacrificing certainty of es-
cape from the Samoan savages rather
than desert a friend at the supreme
moment. Were a monument to this
gallant officer erected in every city in
America it would be none too generous
tribute to his fidelity and valor, and
such monuments would be forever an
inspiration to the youth of the land as
we'll as lasting evidence of the graft
tude Of the republic to hero who died
for his friend.
