ONLY A SUGCES TION.
But IL Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.


Common sense would suggest that if one
wishes to become fieshy and plump it can
only result from the food we eat and digest
and that food should be albuminous or
f1esh-forming food like eggs, beefsteak,
and cereals; in other words, the kinds of
food that make flesh are the foods which
form the greater part of our daily bills of
fare
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the stom
ach, from abuse and overwork, does not
properly digest and assimilate it, which is
the reason SO many people remain thin and
under weight; the digestive organs do not
completely digest the fieshforming beef
steak and eggs and similar wholesome
food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although they
may have no particular pain or incon-
venience from their stomachs.
II such persons would lay their preiu-
dices aside and make q regular practice
of taking, after each meal, one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food would
be quickly and thoroughly digested, be-
cause these tablets contain the natural
peptones and diastase which every weak
stomach lacks and by supplying this want
the stomach is soon enabled to regain its
natural tone and vigor
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form of flesh forming food meat, eggs,
bread, and potatoes, and this is the rea-
son they so quickly build up, strengthen,
and invigorate thin, dyspeptic men, wom-
en-, and children.
1nvalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit as
they contain no strong, irritating drugs,
no cathartic nor any harmful ingredient
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
successful and most widely known of any
remedy for stomach troubles, because 1t
is the most reasonable and scientific of
modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
every druggist in the United States and
Canada. as well as in Great Britain, at so
cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is required to cure any
stomach trouble or to make thin, nervous,
dyspeptic people strong, plump. and we'll

liam of Germany that, at recent re-
view in Berlin, he reprimanded old

moment. eff your majesty thinks
that / am getting too old, beg of you

replied the Kaiser,t.'yo are too young
to resign. Indeed, if your blood
didn't course through your veins quite
80 fast, you would be more useful
army leader" On the evening OF that
day the Kaiser and the general met at
q court ball. The general was talking
to some young ladies. "Ah Meer-
scheidt," cried William, that is right
get ready to marry Take young
wife; then that excitable temperament
of yours will soon vanish" The old
general, it is stated, bowed low before
his imperial mejesty as he coolly re-
torted; 81 beg to be excused, your
majesty; young emperor and a
young wife would be more than ]
could possibly stand"

How a Dog Was Sold.

Here is true dog story:
A family down town having a false
CRATE in one OF the rooms OF the house
placed some red paper behind it to
give it the effect of fire: Ono of the
coolest days the dog belonging to the
household came in from out of doors,
and seeing the paper in the CRATE, de-
liberately walked up to it and lay
down before it, curled up in the best
way to receive the glowing heat as it
came from the fire. He remained
for few moments. Feeling no
warmth, he raised his head and looked
over his shoulder at the grate. Still
feeling no heat, ne went across and
carefully applied his nose to the CRATE
and smelt it. 1T was cold as ice.
With look Of the most supreme
disgust, his tail curled down between
his legs, every hair on his body say
ing, "'m sold," the dog trotted out
of the room, not even deiguing to cast
look at the party in the room who
had watched his actions and laughed
so heartily at his misfortunes. That
dog had reason as well as instinct

A Chicken without Wings.

Chickens with exploring disposition
sometimes come to grief, and such
was the fate that befell young occu-
pant OF South Carolina barnyard.
The chick one day found itself on the
threshold OF the stable. 1t began it's
usual round OF exploration, and pres
emily scampered into stall occupied
by mule. This fellow, moved either
by hunger OF bad temper, put down
his head and bit off the poor little
chicks two wings!
Strange torelate, but true, never
theless this chicken lived to grow up.
OF course it was never as other chick
ems, and it had to be very careful about
running too fast. 1t could tear along
in straight line without trouble, but
if it turned corner on the run, over
it went. In losing its wings it had
lost its equilibrium.
The poor thing came to premature
end. One night it fell off the roost,
and landed exactly on its back. With
out its wings it could not right itself,
and the next morning it vas dead.

During the visit of the Princess of
Wales to the London hospital little
blind boy in one of the wards was
sitting on chair, and the princess
spoke to him. The chairman of the
hospital, thinking it would be nice for
the lad to know who had been speak
ing to him, SAID: '"That lady who
has been speaking to you is the Prin-
cess of Wales. Would you like to
come up and make your bow to her
and speak to her?"
The hoy was delighted and jumped
off his chair. He was led up to the
princess, and she was told of his wish,
to which she very readily acceded.
The bow was duly made and then
came the speech: "How are you,
miss?'-a speech which was hardly
expected, but which was answered by
five minutes conversation, and the
boy returned to his chair proud and
happy.

Perhaps you fancy the birds don't t

are busy every minute.
During the summer thrushes get
up before o'clock in the morning

at night, 80 they work nearly 10
hours. Think of this next time you
feel inclined to grumble when you

Blackbirds are not so industrious.
They only work II hours, but during
that time they feed their little ones

Queensland is practically undevel-
oped as yet, and 1t is only 40 years old,
that having been the time since its
separation as a colony. 1t contains

ued at S13,751,775. The colony has
produced, up to date, minerals to the

The Pet Beaver That Broke Jail.

Professor w. W. Mcintyre Of
Toronto has, or had, a wonderful pet
beaver named Buff.
Buff was caught in trap at Love-
sick lake. He was fine young beaver
about eighteen months old.
Buff was soon quite lame, writes
Professor Mcintyre, 80 that the trap
pers could stroke him and ne seemed
to like it.
When camp was broken up Buff was
taken to farmhouse and put into q
closet. About IL o'clock he went upon
an exploring expedition, cutting his way
through the door into the kitchen, and
thence wandering all over the house.
1t was easy to trace his trail, as tell
tale signs in the shape of chairs and
tables minus a leg, perhaps two, were
strewn in every direction. He was
shut up again, but cut his way out
once more, this time, being beaten
with a small switch, he Numbered up
on the floor with his tail, uttering q
pitiful cry.
AS it was evident that he could not
be kept in the house, a small stone
house was built for him.
Buff was quite an attraction to the
neighborhood, and numbers of people
came to see him, so that he was al
ways sure of liberal supply of bread.
There was small pond about 200
feet from the house, and the boys used
to take him to it daily, first having
fastened n small rope around each hind
foot. Buff would swim under water
till he came to the end Of his tether,
when he would come to tha surface
and swim back to the shallow water,
where he would sit and wash himself.
A large sugar kettle was sunk in
the ground ard filled with water for
him. He was also given quantity
of poplar wood. He saw what this
meant, and set to work, cutting the
wood into pieces about two feet long,
setting them on end, resting against
the upper rim of the kettle. When
he had built the framework of quite a
large house he took mouthfuls OF
earth, and with it stopped all holes
and cracks, making his house FROST
proof He exhibited keen interest
in everything about the place. Before
long the first snow fell, and Buff
sought his house, where he spent the
winter. When spring returned he
seemed possessed by longing for his
old home. 1t had been his habit to
cut wood given to him into lengths of
about two feet.
One evening the boys gave him an
extra large supply of wood, and he
seemed delighted. When all was
quiet in the night Buff worked con-
tinuously, and, piling his short sticks
high enough for him to reach the top
of the fence beregained his liberty and
returned to his brothers.

A Walter who Save the Cuar's Life.

n
The Havre correspondent of the
Petit journal has made the discovery
of a man who 80 years ago was the
talk of everybody and everywhere.
He is none other than Ernest Groult,
who is now 81 years old. 1t was he
who seized Berezowski as he was
about to assassinate the Emperor of
Russia. 1t may be remembered that it
was on the day of the Grand Prix
that Berezowski fired two shots at
him. Groult, who was waiter at
the time, was carrying telegram
to the Marquis de Dampierre,
and happened to be close to
the assassin. Without moments
hesitation Groult seized him. A
hand to hand struggle took place be-
tween the two men. What followed
is well known. Next day an aide de-
camp of the emperor came to con-
graduate the waiter and he gave him
500 francs and watch. He wanted
to take Groult to Russia but he re-
fused. He was wrong. for since then
misfortune nnd oblivion have over
taken him. He sent petition to the
Russian government setting forth his
destitute condition, but it was re-
jected. The poor man is now a waiter
in small hotel in Havre, but he is
unable to work any longer, and says
he must go to the hospital. Berezowski
was condemned and sentenced to
transportation. SO runs this version
of the event. 1t does not appear to
be quite exact. London Globe.
