A BAD Dream.

1t is not likely that any English
speaking people understand SO keen and
punctilious a devotion to the niceties Of
language as that which characterizes the
French grammarians. We may help
ourselves to understand it perhaps by
reading a story told of NJ. Lamany.
One night lately he awoke and sprang
out of bed with wild cry. His wife
came running. He was in alarm and
despair.
"Why, what is the matterf" she
gasped.
81 dreamed, said the professor
"Oh, l had horrible, heartrending
dream.
"What was it9''
81 dreamed was talking and dis
tinctly heard myself utter sentence
which had grammatical error in it.

The English Of 14ha.

The English population consisted Of
churchmen. mobiles and craftsmen, as
well as common people. It was a novel
and significant division. Traders and
manufacturers took their places some
what noisily beside their fellow poll
tfcians of older standing, filling the
whole land till it seems for a moment
as if nothing counted any more in
English life save its middle class-a
busy, hard, prosperous, pugnacious
middle class, slowly emerging from its
early obscurity. In this century it had
arrived at power definitely, ostenta-
tiously, carrying proud look and
high stomach, intent on its own affairs,
needless of the court, regardless of min
listers save when it had to bride them,
irreverent to the noble, the proud PEN
niless with his painted sleeve, Z" tolerant
of ecclesiastics only so long as they
could be kept rigidly within their allot-
ted religious functions. = Denton's
England in the Fifteenth Century"

uonally fine and the room presented a scene
Of rare beauty. The guests began to assem-

TO GUST wv RAILWAYS
SUITS FILED IN SUPREME COURT By
OHIO's ATTORNEY GENERAL.
The Pennsylvania and the O., I'll. 81 ID.
Charged with Violating Their Fran
chises by Joining Pools.

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 25.-The attorney
general to-day filed suits in the Supreme
Court to GUST the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and the Cincinnati. Hamilton &
Dayton Railroad from the State. In the
petition which was flied it is claimed that
the roads in question have violated their
franchises by forming themselves with
other roads into a pool known as the Cen
trail Passenger Association, whereby the
said association fixed the rates of passen-
ger fare. and no party to such agreement
is permitted to deviate from the rates so
fixed. Among other things complained of is
the interchangeable mileage book. 1t is
further charged that the companies have
delegated their power Of rate-making to the
Central Passenger Association, with offices
in Chicago. 1t is charged that the agree
ment is in restraint of trade and prevents
freedom of action in commercial and indus
trial life. The plaintiff prays that the de-
PENDANTS be found to have abused their
franchises and to have exercised their fran
chises in contravention of law and the pub
lie policy of the State, and asks that they be
ousted and be excluded therefrom and such
other relief be granted as may seem TO the
court lust and proper.

HEART DISEASE
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Troubles.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing and while this
may be largely due to the excitement 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 trouble is or
ganic.
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 affected
by the form of poor digestion. which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food. There is a feeling of oppression and
heaviness in the chest caused by pressure
of the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which i~rritates
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 DySpep-
STA Tablets. which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive element in a pleasant,
convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular persistent
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal
time will cure any form of stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
PUBLISHED package of these tablets sold by
druggists at so cents. Little book on stom-
ach troubles mailed free. Address f. A.

LEGAL VALUE OF A KISS.
Worth 800 in Kentucky if h WOm-
an Has Not Been H~ObsOnized.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 2.-The Ken
lucky Court of Appeals yesterday decided
tkat 500 was not an excessive price to pay
for kissing a married woman against her
will. William Ragsdale, a citizen of Trigg
county, called on his neighbor, James Ezell.
The neighbor was away from home, hut his
wife was there, and she looked so pretty
that Ragsdale just could not resist the
temptation, so he grabbed her and stole
several kisses. Mrs. Ezell told her husband
and was Frustrated for several days from
the effect of the neighborly hugging and
kissing. Instead of making a gun play for
the kisser, Colonel Ezell joined his wife in
a suit for 5000 damages. On the trial
Ragsdale swore he never kissed her or
touched her, but Mrs. Ezell said he did
and the jury believed the woman and gave
her a verdict for 500.
Ragsdale appealed the case, and in the
opinion handed down by Judge Guffy of the
Court of Appeals to-day the court holds as
a matter of law that the jury being the
judge of the credibility of witnesses, and
having found in favor of the woman, the
court would not disturb the verdict. After
the judges left the bench Judge Guffy said
that he thought 500 was q trifie dear for
a kiss, but the court of last resort was pow
erless to cut down the price, as no error
was committed on the trial below. He also
said he had insisted that the court allow
him to include in his opinion a statement
to the effect that in such suits hereafter
the woman must prove clearly that she
never kissed Hobson and disapproved of all
such public kissings, but the majority of
the judges, while they agree to this PROPOSE
ton, thought it best not to include it in the
present opinion. So it is of semi-official
record that the Kentucky Court of Appeals
ton and really believes that 500 per kiss
is a fair price.

PRINCESS LOUISE COMING.
Maynard Daughter of BeIgium's King
Sale to Be on the Atlantic.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25,-From a reliable
Belgium source comes the news that Prin-
cess Louise of Coburg, wife of Prince Philip
Of Coburg, daughter of the King of Bel
GUM, has embarked from Nice for America.
According to the same source the King of
Belgium contracted with the National Bank
of Brussels a loan of 100000 francs for the
purpose of paying the debts of his daugh-
ter at Nice. 1t appears that certain money
lenders have awaited themselves of the
plight of the princess in order to make her
considerable advances of money at an
enormous rate of interest, trusting that her
father would pay her debts. One of these
sharks, a certain Maurice Hartog, estab-
lished as a jeweler both at Paris and Nice,
supplied the princess on three different oc-
casions with jewels, amounting altogether
to the value OF 100000 francs, which were
always at once turned into money. After
the transfer of the princess to the lunatic
asylum at Purkersdorf, near Vienna,
Hartog demanded payment. which was, con-
trary to his expectation, refused, when he
Instituted criminal proceedings against the
princess before the Nice Court of Assizes,
where she was acquitted of the charge.
The coming to America of the Princess
Louise will certainly cause one of the great
est social sensations of the year.
