occupied the same seat with him. He
took a little nap and when he awoke he
found negro woman sitting in the

on this question, yet | am in
touch with the genius of Methodism,
who was born at Il State University
tire University of Oxford, in England.
1t was there that the dreams of higher
spiritual life in the soul of John Wesley
crystalized into the first society known
as Methodists.

A HUNDRED REASONS

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets are the best and most ef- fectual cure for every form of indiges- tion.
 They are in the tablet form which retains their good qualities indefinite ly, while liqnid preparations become stale and useless with age.
 They are convenient, can be carried in the pocket and taken when needed. They are pleasant to take.
 After each meal dissolve one or two of them in the mouth and, mingling with the foodss they constitute a per feet digestive, absolutely safe for the most sensitive stomach.
 They digest the food before it has time to ferment, thus ting the formation of gas and keeping the blood pure and free from the poisonous pro- ducts of fermented, half diges ted food.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only remedy designed especially for the cure of stomach troubles and noth- ing else.
 One disease. one remedy; the suc- cessful physician of today is the spe- cialist, the successful medicine is the medicine prepared especially for one disease.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the complexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
 They increase flesh by digesting flesh forming foods.
 A whole package taken at one time would not hurt one, but would simply be waste of good material.
 Over six thousand men and women in the State of Michigan alone, have been cured of indigestion and dyspep- sia by the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia T Tablets.
 Sold by all druggists at 50 cents per pack age.

On this occasion a one. armed write man about p years of age, was the principal. He was purchased ticket from Little Rock to Pine Bluff by kind persons, after he told his sad tale of woe. The train had proceeded probably two miles toward Pine Bluff when the stranger began to yell as if he saw some one trying to kill him. Strong hands on the train took him in charge and he soon quieted down. As the train was nearing Wrights vile the fellow jumped off and ran at break meek speed back toward Little Rock
 Wednesday morning that same peculiar person came to Pine Buff on the Iron Mountain from Little Rock. He did Lot get off here. but later, we are told, he jumped from the moving train at the shops and wandered back to this city.
 Last evening about 8 o'clock a telephone message was received at the police headquarters to the effect that crazy man was creating quite a scene on West Fourth avenue near MeKennev Bros. grocery store.
 The patrol went to the scene and found the afflicted man exclaim ing, Don't let him kill me, :" Make him drop that knife, " Look he is going to shoot" etc., in a frightful manner. He was carried to police headquarters where be re- mained for a few hoars.
 He said be lost his arm in mill a few years ago and the severed mem Der caused him constant pain. To ease this his Clarendon physicians had advised him to take frequent hypodermic injections of cocaine. By following the physicians advice he has almost wrecked his life.
 He also stated that he had been to Texas visiting relatives and was going to his home near Clarendon from that State when he found him self penniless at Little Rock and was forced to beg for aid
 He asked If the officers doubted his story and sad they could be convinced of It's truth by communi- eating with the law firm of Ewing, Manning & Lee, of Clarendon. He said that that law firm was attend ing to some of his business. Upon being asked what business, he said he and his sister had fallen minor
