Kerr, the mother of my young friends.
She was a stately matron, and in her
sweeping black velvet dress and soft
ly falling delicate white lace, which
| nestled about her head and throat,
looked strikingly handsome.
Grace-that was the name of the
daughter seemed at times to be under
! the spell of the mothers eye. | no
ticed that the conversation woulu lag
when the elder woman entered the
room, and that all the airy gayety ana
sprightliness of the daughter would
disappear under the whitening glance
of the mother.
There was a secret, a mystery which

proceeded about it in anything but a

and thoughtless. My whole soul had
become wrapped up in Grace, She was

There was that in Eugene's face
which fairly dazed me. He seemed
terror-stricken at my abrupt but simple
announcement All the acts of my life

THE OPEN HEART.

Would you understand
The language with no word,
The speech of brook and bird,
OF waves along the sand?
Would you make your own
The meaning of the leaves,
The song the silence weaves
Where little winds make moan?
Would you know how sweet
The falling OF the riIl,
The calling on the hill
All tunes the days repeat?
Neither aims nor art,
No toll, can help you hear;
The secret of the ear
Is in the open heart.

STILL MORE IMPROVEMENTS
DOId Company Requires Additional
MACHINERY

The present management of the local
house of the Dold Packing company be-
lieve beyond all other considerations in
keeping fully abreast of the spirit of
American progress and enterprise As
fast as any new machine or abattoir
contrivance appears on the market and
proves its practicability, it is placed in
position the better to advance the grade
Of the finished product, as well as to in
crease the production. Some time ago
the sausage department was so crowded
with orders that it was found impossible
to longer retain the specially depart
ment along with it and a special division
was established with Mr.. Jake Miller of
Kansas as superintendent. with a force
of experienced men in picking. and from
the start the business grew with a rush.
until now the trade in their special brand
Of boneless piks feet alone has exhaust
ed the capacity Of the department In a
few days now the latest improved ma
chinery Will be set in the pickle rooms
which vii lturn out this palatable relish
in the finest quality and at ten fold
speed, This is the latest = be added to
the plant but all through the past year
there has been scarcely a month but
some new scheme or mechanical contriv-
ance is placed in position with the result
that both the territory and the trade IS
growing all the time.

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
OF Physical ETaDhood

No form Of athletic exercise demands
such perfect physical condition as prize
fighting. Every muscle in the body must
be fully developed and supple. and the
heart lungs and stomach must act to per-
lection
Whether we endorse prize-fghtfng or
not It IS nevertheless interesting to know
the manner by which men arrive at such
physical perfection
James Jeffries. the present champion
heavyweight of the world and his gal
liant opponent Tom Sharkey. in the great
est pugIistc encounter that has ever
taken place, both pursued much the same
course Of training and the first and most
important part Of this training was n
get the stomach in condition and 10 keen
the digestion absolutely perfect. so that
every muscle and nerve would be al its
highest capabilities.
This was not done by a secret patent
medicine. but both of these great pugi-
lists used a Wei known natural digestive
tablet sold by druggists under name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and composed
Of the digestive ferments which every
stomach requires for healthy digestion.
Champion Jeffries says: ..St1ls-f's
Dyspepsia Tablets prevent actditv

feet digestion. They keep q man in fine
physical condition" Signed. James 7

'Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets remove all
discomfort after eating. They rest the
stomach and restore il 10 a healthrul con-
dition- I heartily recommend them. "
Sisned, Thos. J. Sharkey.
The advantage OF the daily use OF
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is THAI thew
keep people Well ana ward off sickness
and are equally valuable 10 well persons
as 10 the dyspeptics. Another adyantaf.
IS that these tablets contain no cathartics
or poisons of any character. hut simply
digestive ferments which are found in
every healthy stomach. and when digest
ion is imperfect il IS because the stomach
lacks some OF these elements ana Sl,.sr,'s
Dyspepsia Tablets supply it.
They are no cheap cathartic. bur a per
fectly safe and efficient digestive and the
demand for them Is greater than The sale
OF all other so-called dyspepsia cures
combined No remedy could possibly
reach such place in public esteem ex-
cept as the result Of positive merit :

you can possibly form is To take a Stuart

ROBBED THE GRAVE

A startling incident, OF which Mr. John
Oliver of Philadelphia was the subject. is
narrated by him as follows: 81 was in a
most dreadful condition. My skin was al
most yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides; no
appetite; gradually growing weaker day
by day. Three physicians had given me
up Fortunately a friend advised trying
Electric Bftters, and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use for
three weeks. and am now well man. I
know they saved my life, and robbed the
grave Of another victim" No one should
fail to try them. Only 50 cents; guaran-
teed. At G. Behring's drug store.

It IS A BIC CHANGE
Hospital Department of the
Missouri Pacific
HAS BEEN RE0RGANIZED
Wichita Given One of the
Nine Division Hospitals.

} The hospital department of the Mis-
souri Pacific railway has been reorgan-
lied and Wichita comes in for a Just
share of patronage under the new ar
rangement
DR.. ]. E. Oldham has been appointed
a division surgeon. he having heretofore
served the company in the capacity of
local surgeon at this place.
The object of the hospital department
Of the road is to give better service to
the employees than could be done under
the old system. The general hospital at
Kansas City is to be abandoned and the
Office Of assistant surgeon in chief is
abolished. Instead of this officer there
have been nine division surgeons ap-
pointed at various convenient places.
The Wichita hospital, in which SO many
of Wichita's best citizens are deeply in
terested, will care for the sick and in
jured under the professional attention of
DR.. oldham
Besides being compliment to the doc
tor, this will be a material support TO
liz 4iSSAAteit anu VIII 40 Hucn toward
helping the directory in providing means
for the support of the hospital
One by one the good things come to
Wichita, and the efficient care and kind
attention which the sick or injured rail-
way employees will receive in the Wich-
tia hospital is matter for congratula-
ton. The ladies who constitute it's di-
rectory and the men that compose the
board of trustees have labored long and
earnestly for the upbuilding of an insti-
tuition that would command esteem
everywhere it is known, and its recog-
milton by the great Missouri Pacific rail-
way corporation as a suitable institution
in which to place their employees that
need that care which can only be had
in a well ordered hospital is an evidence
of its high standing.
Other division hospitals are located at
Omaha, Pueblo Atchison, Fort Scott, |
Coffeyville, Ossawatomie, Sedalia and |
Kansas City. The location of hospitals |
over the Missouri Pacific is the work of |
the chief surgeon of the road, who saw |
that to move a sick or injured man to |
the roads general hospital at Kansas
City from some remote point was not |
only unsatisfactory but dangerous to the
patients. Patients have made frequent
requests for local care and the division
hospitals have been established
