You see he sold me an organ that a child
could play, but I never thought until
after I'd bought it that 1 have no chill

be able to make it co.
Not even down hill, eh?" said Mel
chisedek. but why did you lend him
the hundred dollars?''
Because he seemed so sorrySthat my
organ wouldn't co. said Mr.. Sanford.
You ought to have nurse, my poor
man, said Melchisedek This Mr..
Simpkins has no children, you may de-
pend upon it. But he has oneEhundred
dollars of your money and you have an
Old cab that's pretty near falling to
pieces. Now we must overtake Mr.
Simpkins and make him give back your
money"
Just then, by great good luck, an
automobile came oward them.
Melchisedek held up his hand and
the driver stopped.
Take us up the HILL" said the boy.
tie pushed Mr.. Sanford into the automo-
bile Run at your top lint, driver. We
want to catch tall man with flowing red
whiskers like banners and a selfish look
on his face"
The automobile man started with such
jerk that Mr.. Sanford toppled over
backward and sat down hard.
Here, stop" said the boy, heres a
policeman. We want him to go along
too
The policeman sat down behind and
then up the hill they went lickitty cut
and when they reached the top they
saw Mr.. Simpkins sitting on rail fence
smoking cigar and smiling in very sell
fish way. His long whiskers were
streaming in the autumn breezes and he
looked like the wicked man that he
was
Hold up" said Melchisedek to the
driver. Then he fitted a delicate piece
of putty into his putty blower and blew
it sharply at Mr. Simpkins who gave a
start and looked up.
AS soon as he saw Melchisedek, he
started to run, but the boy shot bean
at him and it gave his cheek such a

Mr.. Simpkins had no children at all and
doubtful that the carriage was an auto
mobile. But as yet he could do nothing.
Give me a receipt for one hundred
dollars and take the automobile" said
Mr.. Simpkins. Come, | will ride to
the foot of this hill just to show you how
to work it and then" said he, looking at
his watch, Il must hurry off to my darl-
ings, my dear little boys, for the pets
are hungry for chestnuts.'
Now if Mr.. Sanford hadn't been a goose
he would have known that Mr.. Simpkins
was up to something because men don't
talk that way about their children, I'M
less they are mollies-at least not in
public. But Mr.. Sanford was great innO-
cent so he wrote receipt for a hundred
dollars and gave it to the man and then
they both stepped into the carriage. Mr..
Simpkins pulled lever and the thing
didn't go.
All this time Melchisedek had stood
out of the way and the man had not
noticed him at ALL Now Mr.. Simpkns
looked out and pretended to see stone
in front of one of the wheels. All =
said he, II see there's stone in the
way. I'll push the automobile for q
few feet 1t sticks sometimes when l
haven't used it much. Here, boy see
ing Melchisedek, 'just help me push this
to the brow of the hill"
Melchisedek pushed with good will
and then as Mr.. Simpkins jumped in
side he hung on behind Mr. Simpkins
pulled the lever to the lowest notch and
the carriage went down the steep hill
in fine style.
81 did you a wrong" said Mr. Sanford
Il thought you were going to cheat me
but this is delightful. l know a man in
Seymour who will buy this as soon as
he sees it,"
Melchisedek, sitting behind on the
place where they put trunks, laughed to
himself, put his putty blower into his
pocket and took out his bean
shooter. Then he shook his head,
and putting away the lean
shooter he took out his sling and
fitted fat hickory nut into it. He saw

BRAIN FOOD.

Is of Little Benefit Unless it is Digested
Nearly everyone will admit that as a
nation we eat too much meat and too
little of vegetables and the grains.
For business men, office men and clerks,
and in fact everyone engaged in seden-
tary or indoor occupations, grains, milk
and vegetables are much more healthful.
Only men engaged in a severe out of
door manual labor can live on heavy
diet and continue in health.
AS a general rule, meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women
and children and grains, fruit and vege-
tables should constitute the bulk of food
eaten.
But many of the most nutritious foods
are difficult of digestion and it is of no
use to advise brain workers to eat large
ly of grains and vegetables where the di-
gestion is too weak to assimilate them
properly
1t is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
after meals to assist the relaxed digestive
organs, and several years experience
have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
to be very safe, pleasant and effective
digestive and a remedy which may be
taken daily with the best results.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly
be called a patent medicine, as they do
not act on the bowels nor any particular
organ but only on the food eaten. They
supply what weak stomachs lack, pepsin
diastase and by stimulating the gastric
glands increase the natural secretion of
hydrochloris acid.
People who make a daily practice of
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal are sure to have
perfect digestion which means perfect
health.
There is no danger of forming an injuri-
GUS habit as the tablets contain abso-
lutely nothing but natural digestives
cocaine, morphine and similar drugs have
no place in a stomach medicine and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly
the best known and most popular of all
stomach remedies.
Ask your druggist for a fifty cent pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
after weeks use note the improvement
in health, appetite and nervous energy.

Under the fusion county government large

insnuation unworthy Of any man,
whether he be a candidate for office or
not. The inuendo is directed against

lican ticket for, The same Office. If

Next we find that the paragraph
contains several misstatements which
can be rep.iel to cry rie.iy. School

i r''le, or is it due to increased prosper
ity among the people? County war
4 lu.lts were aL par before fusion misrule
/ began IN this county, and every intel

/ lying. The financial condition of the
county. SO far as Indebtedness is con-
eerned, was never worse than it is
today.
Besides the above paragraph, Scott
last week published Il whole column of
/ misstatements, which are too ridicu-
lons To merit any kind Of reply.
