TWO FINE SPECIMENS
Of Physical Manhood.

No form of athletic exercise de-
mands such perfect physical condi-
tion as prize fighting. Every muscle
in the body mast be fully developed
and supple, and the heart, lungs and
stomach must act to perfection.
Whether we endorse prize-f1ghting
or not, it is nevertheless interesting
to know the manner by which men
arrive at such physical perfection.
James Jetfries, the present cham
pion heavy weight of the world, and
his gallant opponent. Tom Sharkey.
in the greatest pugilistic encounter
that has ever taken place, both pur-
sued much the same course OF train
ing and the first and most important
part of this training was to get the
stomach in condition, and to keep the
digestion absolutely perfect, so that
every muscle and nerve would be at
its highest capabilities.
This was not done by a secret pat
ent medicine, but both of these great
pugilists used well known natural
digestive tablet sold by druggists un-
der name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's and composed of the digestive
ferments which every stomach re-
quires for healthy digestion.
Champion Jeffries says: ''Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets prevent acldity,
strengthen the stomach and insure
perfect digestion. They keep man
in fine physical condition. Signed,
James j. Jeffries, champion Of the
world.
The gallant fighter, Sharkey, says:
"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets remove
all discomfort after eating. They
rest the stomach and restore 1t to a
healthful condition. 1 heartily re-
commend them" Signed, Thos. J.
Sharkey.
The advantage of the daily use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is that
thew keep people we'll and ward off
sickness and are eqnally valuable to ]
well persons as to the dyspeptics.
Another advantage is that these tab
let's contain no cathartics, or pOisOns
of any character, but simply diges-
tive ferments which are found in ey-
cry healthy stomach, and when di-
gestion is imperfect It, is because the
stomach lacks some of these ele-
ments and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets supply it.
They are no cheap cathartic, but a
perfectly safe and efficient digestive
and the demand for them is greater
than the sale of all Other. .so-called
cures combined. No rem
edy could possible reach such a place
in public esteem except as the result
of positive merit.
Full sized packages are sold by all
druggists at 80 cents and the best
habit YOU can possibly form Is to
take a Stuart Tablet after each meal.
They make weak stomachs strong
and keep strong stomschs vigorous.

Winter in the South.

The season approaches when ones
thoughts turn toward a place where
the inconvenience of a Northern
winter may be escaped. No section
of this country offers such ideal
spots as the Gulf Coast on the line of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad
between Mobile and New Orleans.
It possesses mild climate, pure air,
even temperature and facilities for
hunting and fishing enjoyed by no
other section. Accommodation for
visitors are first-class, and can be Sc
cured at moderate prices. The L. &
N. r. r. is the only line by which it
can be reached in through cars from
Northern cities. Through car. .sched-
ules to all points in Florida by this
line are also perfect. Write for

Attending al, own FuncraI.

An interesting story is told about a
French cab driver named Prosper Ro.
mieu. who actually attended his own
funeral. Some time ago Romieu was
convicted of some offense and sentenc-
ed to a term of Imprisonment. Since
then he had been in hiding at the house

ed a certificate of his own death and
attended as chief mourner.
The fraud might never have been
discovered, and Romieu might have
passed as his own brother to his dying
day but for the fact that at the grave
side there was policeman who hap
pened to know him. The policeman
nccosted him and. on getting an an
swer, said facetiously, "This is the first
time have heard a dead man speak" !"

An Old Timer,

A crowd of young men were seated
in one of the steamboat offices in the
city the other afternoon while an old
steamboat veteran regaled them with
stories about old times on the Missis-
sippi and "reminiscences of old time cit
liens.
did you know old Bill Jones?' ask
ed one of the men. after the captain
had finished relating how he ran q
gantlet of Indians with his boat way
back in the forties.
Member Bill Jones? Well, guess
l did" replied the captain. Lets see,
he died just after the war. He was a
good old fellow too. knew his father
before he was married to Bills moth

One of the boys thought the old man
was doping" and by way Of tripping
him up on his dates asked, "Cap, how
long have you been running on the riv-

and it took all the vigor of the exhaust

Yet even when the Mausers filed the
air with weird songs there came to
TEDDY" wilkins the vision of a face
framed in dark hair and the sound of a
voice which was musical and low.
Days of hard fighting followed. and
when it was all over Sergeant Theo-
dore Wilkins went in search Of her

found her. too. within the protection of

Ches. and War.

The origin of chess is shrouded in
mystery. There Is little doubt. how
ever, that its birthplace was in India
and that it is an offspring Of game
called chaturanga, which is mentioned
in oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era.
From India chess spread into Persia.
and thence into Arabia. and ultimately
the Arabs took it into Spain and the
rest OF western Europe.
The game was in all probability in
vented for the purpose Of illustrating
the art of war. The Arab legend upon
this point is that it was devised for
the instruction Of young despot by
his father, learned Brahman, to teach
him that a king. Notwithstanding his
power, was dependent for safety upon
his subjects. The Greek historians
credit the Invention of the game to
Palamedes. who, they claim, devised
it to beguile the tedium of the siege
of Troy during the Trojan war.

The Elder Booths Beautiful Read.

The Elder Booths Beauttfn1 He8d.
s. ing.
1 never heard any one read just like
the elder Booth. 1t was beautiful. He
made the figure stand before you! It
was infinitely tender. Some Of the
passages of "Lear" were touching In
the extreme. though he used Cibber's
frightfully bad EDITION Of that sublime
tragedy.
He had some very odd ways at times.
We were playing "Hamlet" one night
in Natchez. and during Ophelia's mad
scene a cock began to crow Justify.
When the curtain fell upon that fourth
act, this growing became more con-
stant And when the manager could
not find Mr.. Booth to commence the
next act he looked up and saw him
perched on the top Of the ladder, which
was the only way to reach the "fiies"
in that primitive theater.
The manager ascended the ladder
and had quite lengthy discussion
with Mr.. Booth. who at last consented
to come down on condition that he
should resume his high position after
the play and remain there until Jack
son was reelected president.-"Auto

FROM
THE ENEMY'S LINE

Sergeant Teddy" wilkins was lying
on his breast behind heap Of earth
listening to the zip Of Mauser bullets
over his head. The Spanish picket line
was sheltered by a group of trees not
far away, and occasionally a guerrilla
sharpshooter sent a message of def
ance from the high branches.
The sergeant belonged to New
York regiment which had hurried to
the front almost before congress had
officially declared that the United
States was at war with the proud old
land which had taken the trouble to
discover her.
st seems to me-" remarked the SER
geant as he casually inspected the
number Of cartridges in his belt, that
this business is growing very tiresome.
What we need is little diversion, a
little of the romance of war"
4Well," replied young De Jones, who
formerly marshaled figures on a trial
balance sheet, you'll get more ro-
nance than you want IL you don't lie q
little closer down there"
Three or four Of the guerrillas had
dropped from the trees, and the Span
ish stragglers had been driven back to-
ward Santiago by a rattling fire from
the Springfield rifles of the volunteers.
The weather was entirely too hot to
follow up an advantage gained over a
few rice fed conscripts, and Company
Z was resting bit and wondering If
the commissary department would call
upon them that day.
Teddy" wilkins was smoking the
artistically colored meerschaum which
he had brought from home. There had
been no tobacco in the rich brown bowl
for days, and the sergeant was content
edly putting at some Of the dried grass
Of the country.
"HeIlow exclaimed De Jones. "Here
they come to our pink teal I wonder
how they found out we were receiving
this afternoon. Get out the Boston
walters, Sarg, and I'll hunt up the SOU
venir spoons"
'They" proved to be slender young
woman, who walked with a springy
step. and an elderly woman. who was
anything but sylph like, who seemed
to roll along the brown earth. There
was look Of terror in the eyes of both
of them. They advanced toward the
American soldiers and held their hands
above their heads.
Mercy, mercy. senorw cried the girl,
in broken English.
"Tell them to sit down on the sofa
and make themselves at home" sug-
gested De Jones. ''The young one is
rather good looking, at that"
Sergeant Theodore Wilkins OF Com
pany K bent his stiffened limbs, ad-
justed his cartridge belt and went to
meet the newcomers.
I've beg protection" said the young
er woman. eve have come from the
city, and we beg to be spared by the
chivalry Of los Americanos."
Wilkins, who remembered somewhat
of his Clendorf, attempted to say some
thing in Spanish which he meant to be
reassuring. The girl shook her head
and puzzled expression came into her
eyes.

II believe that there is more love FOL

the flag than ever before. Wherever
that flag Is raised It stands, mot for des-

that flag has done for US we want 1t to
do for all people and all lands which,
by the fortunes OF war, have come With
in It's jurisdiction.
That flag does not mean one thing in
the United States and another in Porto
Rico and the Philippines. There has
been doubt In some quarters respecting
the policy of the government in the
Philippines. I see no harm In stating
It in this presence. Peace first. then
