every business house in the town. Empty shops are the exception, while some really imposing establishments grace the main thoroughfare. For years the cultivation of sugar and maize formed the staple indus tries, but the richness of the natural grasses and other favorable circumstances 1ed to the introduction of dairy farming which has proved an immense success, some of the finest butter and other dairy produce in Australia being furnished by
 the Clarence river district. Numerous ag
 ricultural crops are raised, and In the back country large numbers of cattle and sheep depastured. Tropical and semi tropical vegetation luxuriates in the fertile river flats. Oranges, lemons, bananas, pfneapples and passion fruit all grow in abundance but no attempt has been made to turn these fruits to commercial ends on large scale. The whole yields of the orchards Is cons tuned locally. Sorghum. imphee and lucerne are cultivated and yield ajbundantly, and, in fact, the climate and soil congenial for the production of almost anything. Yet, strangely enough, to visitors to the Antipodes, but also to the Clarence river district, the Australian Arcadia, is the one least known, not only the great majority of colonists them selves.

Fortunately, l sleep well on trains, so when I arise am refreshed. Keeping myself in prime physical condition pre- serves my voice and throat. l do nothing else to keep them strong.
 "I do mot diet myself when traveling, but eat as great variety and as heartily as at home. Whatever strikes my fancy on the menu I order and relish. The greatest evil l have to contend with on my travels is the after-dinner speaking, so many of my friends where I am going to speak arrange little dinners for after the meeting. It is hard to refuse this kindness and in many instances forethought, but it is against my law of health. I need rest after an even- ing on the platform and I want to go to bed, not to a midnight feast.
 ''I have to observe the natural laws if I am to bear up under my increasing work. Last year I was very busy and most of the time away from home During the twelve months I passed one full month, May, at home, and during the rest of the year managed to get another month, three weeks and five days to spend with my fam fly. Some of that time notably my trip to Yosemite valley and the short trip to Tex as, this winter, the family was with me. < ''Om my trips, whenever Ut is practicable a nd the people desire H. say a lew WOfuS. Sometimes they are very few, and again they rise to the dignity of a speech. During the campaign last fall, or where l was billed for talk, l spoke from thirty to for tyJfive minutes. When I am whirling across the country to given points my talks are short, not more than five or iten min utes-just long enough to say how d'y do to the people and tell them how glad I am to see 'them.
 'The only real quiet times I had last year were in May, when I stayed at home to get in tho crop of my little farm in Me- braska then after the campaign, when I went with Colonel Wetmore down in Fancy county, Missouri, and lastly my visit with my wife to Austin and Galveston-just be- fore the close of the year. We returned from the trip by way of Monticello, H., where We have daughter at school.
 "I have attended Jackson day dinners in Chicago, Omaha and Minneapolis and Ne braska this year. From here I go to Frank fort, Ky, Cincinnati, New York and through the New England states, lectur- ing on Pending problems. 1t will be spring I suppose before I see Lincoln again.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People from Trying |
 Good Medicine

Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any reme- dy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acutenesS in never being humburgged, especially in med icines.
 This fear of being humbugged can be car rded too far, so far, in fact, that many peo- pie suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk little time and money in preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are vast ly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the req son that they are not a secret patent med icinc, no secret is made of their ingredients, but analysis shows them ito contain the na- tural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pep sin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis- muth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten thoroughly before 1t has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of their success.
 Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles be- cause they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That Is all there is to it. Food not dlgested or half digested is poison as it creates gas acidity, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.

Series of Free Cooking Lessons.

Miss Lily Haxworth will give the first of her series of free cooking lectures to- morrow afternoon at clock at Odd Fel- teenth street. The lessons will be con- tinued every afternoon, and will be ex- tremely popular. Miss Haxworth is a grad nate of the National Training School of Cooking in London, and she has met with great success in all the cities where sine has given her lectures. She has been in Montgomery for several weeks and her classes there were patronized by all the society women. There is every reason to believe that her lectures in this city will be well patronZed, for there are so many young housekeepers here who will not miss the opportunity of the practical demonstra- tion that accompany Miss Haxworths lec- lures. The following from the Montgomery Advertiser tells of Miss Haxworths s methods employed in her lectures:
 GA large number of Montgomery women are occupying themselves durcing this Lem ten season, attending the delightful course of cooking lectures which Miss Lily Hax- worth is delivering at the Dramatic Club hall on Perry street.
 ''In the presence of about hundred and fifty women and a goodly srrnkling of men Miss HaXworth cooks delicious dishes and serves them all the while featuring in a thoroughly charming manner on the art of cooking everything in general and those special dishies in particular.
 "Yesterday Miss Haxworth made in the presence of her audience, the pastry DOT tion of cream puffs to which today she will add the cream and serve to those who at- tend her lecture. She also yesterday made waffies, biscuit Boston brown bread and delicious orange charlotte. All of this is done in the easiest and most graceful man. ner-every part being beautifully explain ed, so that any woman who sees and hears her may go and do likewise.
 Miss HaXworaCh is a gold medalist grad uate of the National Training School of Cookery in London and Is in every way thoroughly equipped to teach good cooking in it's every phase-as an art and science which she declares it to be-"
 Miss HaNworth requests that all those who attend her lectures will bring spoons, as the best test of wen-prepared dish is in the "taste."

Choate's Use of an Old story
Philadelphia Post.

From the Philadelphia Post.
 Tn this era of new ideas and startling in- ventions old jokes still retain their youth ful vigor Nor are they confined to minstrel performers and monologue artists on the vaudeville stage. No less a. wit than Joseph Hodges Choate, the law partner of William Maxwell Evarts and the present ambassa- dor from this country to the court of St. James, recently found very old joke useful and appropriate.
 A reporter called to see him.
 "Mr Choate is a busy man. said the clerk.
 ''So am l." responded the reporter.
 Let me take in your card?"
 "Never mind the card. He knows me-"
 Without further barley he opened the door and confronted MT. Choate, who was talking with a visitor.
 Good morning MT. Choate," said the re- porter cheerily "I am a reporter"
 MT. Choate looked at the intruder curious ly. "1ake a chair, sdr," he said quietly.
 'I want to see you about this story" showing a clipping from the Morning -.
 "Ahr' returned the lawyer with his pe- culiar chuckle, "Im glad to see you. Please take two chairs"
 It was an old, old story, but MT Choate did not hesitate to use it.
