AFRICAN WOLVES.

They Are Very Fercciou., and Even
the Lions Fear Them.
The African wolves. when hunting in
packs. are very formidable. and NJ
Foa. the great French explorer, says:
Experience has shown me that they at
tack not only all animals of medium
size, but also the lion itself They wage
terrible battles, In which the lion sue
cumbS to numbers, though not without
having ripped open some of the enemy.
But the survivors in their turn soon
tear it. Consequently the large. raven
Gus beast has a salutary terror of them.
In this connection he relates a story of
how his servant once scared away
some lions who had surrounded them
in the darkness away from camp.
The night was as black as pitch, and
we did not distinguish the trees until
upon them. Lions prowled around us,
and one of them roared within alarm
ing proximity; but we could not see
them; we heard them walking in the
leaves on all sides. Reaching the tree,
We found one of our companions with
the rifle cooked, another trying 10 re-
light half eXtinguished torch Still
the lions walked. We guessed them
coming and going in the darkness.
At that moment Tambarika whisper
ed to us the advice to initiate the pun
pis (wolves) in the distance. So we i'm
mediately began barking and shouting
"Hu, hu. hur' in an undertone, as
though the pack was still at distance
while the man at the camp made the
same well initiated cry. The effect was
instantaneous. There was rapid gal
lop in the dry leaves; the lions decamp-
ed. The more or less well initiated ap-
proach of pack of wolves rid us Of

Grand Secretary MurrOw of Indian

ten years we have paid cut over 5000
in teaching our secret work TO the lodges,
and the grand lecturers say there are not
more than q dozen men in the juris,iic-

lodge has been spending 5000 on the
ritual the fund for the establishment Of
an orphans home has grown to the mag

Pythanism needs ill local circles a
good substantial stimulus in the shape of
an awakened. wholesome. sustained en-
thusiasm. which shall quicken every
lodge and every knight to greater sctivi-
ty, says the Philadelphia Press. The rit-
ual and ceremonies are as impressive and
as beautiful as those of any of the many
fraterrities, and while here and there n
lodge is doing good work there is an
absence of healthful growth through
ont the order. which is not as II should
be- The followers of Damon and Pyth-
las have too good an order to allow its
light and its good deeds to be hidden
under a bushel" The rivalry among
secret societies is now so great, and new
bodies are springing up almost weekly,
offering such novel and attractive fea
lures. that the other societies must hns-
tie il they would maintain place III the
front ranks. Pytbian knighthood cannot
afford to be relegated to the rear but to
maintain the present vantage the lem
bers must work, and work zealousy.
The grand officers OF Massachusetts
will dedicate the new hall of Plymouth
Rock lodge of Whitman in November.
Pythianism lends important help in
the development of noble character. In
this its aims are the chief end of life.
James Mcdonald is now grand chan
celor of Indiana and Frank Bowers
grand keeper of records and seal.
The grand lodge of Minnesota pays

The bane of camp is a dilatory camp

BRAIN FOOD
Is OF Little Benefit Unless II Is oisested.

| Is OF Little Benefit Unless II Is Digested.
Nearly everyone will admit that
as nation we eat too much meat
and too little of vegetables and the
grains.
For business men, Office men and
clerks. and in fact everyone engaged
in sedentary or indoor occupations,
grains, milk and vegetables are much
more healthful.
Only men engaged in a severe out
door manual labor can live on a
heavy meat diet and continue in
health.
AS general rule, meat once day
is sufficient for all classes of men,
women and children and grains, fruit
| and vegetables should constitute the
bulk of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion and it
is of no use to advise brain workers
to eat largely of grains and veget-
| ables where the digestion is too weak
to assimilate them properly.
1t is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be
| taken after meals to assist the relaxed
digestive organs, and several years
experience have proven Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets to be very safe,
pleasant and effective digestive and a
remedy which may be taken daily
with the best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
hardly be called patent medicine,
as they do not act on the bowels nor
any particular organ but only on the
food eaten. They supply what weak
stomachs lack, pepsin diastase and
by stimulating the gastric glands in
crease the natural secretion of hydro
chloris acid.
DPeople who make daily practice
of taking one or two of Stuart's Dvs-
pepsia Tablets after each meal: :ssare
sure to have perfect digestion, which
means perfect health.
There is no danger of forming an
injurious habit as the tablets contain
absolutely nothing but natural di-
gestives; cocaine, morphine and
similar drugs have no place in a
stomach medicine and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are certainly the best
known and most popular of all stOm-
ach remedies.
Ask your druggist for fifty cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's and after weeks use note the
improvement in health, appetite and
nervous energy.
