THE BASHFUL MAN.
Nscdiessly Alarmed the Young Lady
Covering His Grip.

NeediessIy Alarmed the Young Lady
Covering His Grip.
A bashful young man had sat for
some time in the terminal station ar
Philadelphia, waiting for his train to
be announced. His grip he had showed
under his seat. Finally he jumped up
and sought the train announcer for the
third time. He was told that his train
time had at last arrived. Then the
young man remembered his grip, which
he had left under the seat in the walt
ing room. Hurrying back, he was
amazed to find beautiful girl occupy
ing the place he had left moment be-
fore. His grip was hidden by her
skirts and the bashful young man saw
no way Of getting at it. He feared that
he would miss his train, SO he decided
to speak to the young lady. StruttinS
up to her in a fiustered state, his in
tention to politely ask her to allow
him to get his grip was forgotten and
he bluricd out with: Pardon me, lady,
but you are sitting on a nail and might
tear your dress" With bound the
girl was out of the seat. when the young
man grabbed his grip and fairly ran
through the waiting room and to his
train. The girl blushed as others sit
ting near giggled and she, too, hurried
out to the train shed and waited there
for her train.

Christmas day, with its happy greet

THE BUFFALOEs GROWING
New and Noble Order Is Spreading
 Rapidly.

Hon Carter Harrison of ChOcago was initiated into the mysteries of the no ble order of Buffaloes the other day and is said to have found the proceed ings cheerful but not inexpensive. It seems to be a simple society, absolutely liberal in the selection of members and far from eXacting in it's require ments and ritual. The Buffalo herds grow rapidly, and they are found all over the country. So far as can be judged by the unbuffaloed, however the society is not intended for teeto- talers or for persons 1verse t1 spending money. If one of these hears the mys- tic inquiry Are you a Buffalo?" he may, if he choses, repeat the formal answer, You bet your sweet life l am, an answer said to be matter of ritual And then he should escape as rapidly as possible. There will be no money for him in staying He must fly from the Buffalo wallows or be gored and tramp led.
 If in the innocence of his heart he says "No." the crafty Buffalo replies, "I will initiate you for Il cents." Be ware of that sacred and cabalistic number, eleven. There is good deal more in it than meets the ear. Yet if you happen to have exactly Il cents, give the Buffalo that and you can make your escape alive For the great prin- ciple of the Buffaloes is to return noth- ing which they receive So they must be dangerous fellows to lend money to.
 The Hon. Sol Bloom of Chicago is said to have founded the Buffaloes at SanFrancisco in 1897. Allow him to de- scribe their high purposes:
 The prime principle of the Buffaloes is never to return anything given to a member, and all members use their left hands for everything. For instance. when member joins a party of friends and the crowd adjourns to bar to get liquid refreshments. the one who holds his glass in his right hand has to set tie for the drinks. Should man give me his watch I cannot give it back to him. but he may buy it from me by buying refreshments for the crowd Tn San Francisco, where the joke started 1t was customary to tell friend you would initiate him and tell him all the points of the order for II cents. But in that part of the country pennies are seldom seen and 1t is a hundred to one shot he will hand you anything from $5 or s2O. expecting to get his change, but he doesn't get it. He receives the pleasure of being. with the crowd that helped spend his money. When it is spent he is a full fledged Buffalo

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.

To Keep Well.
 It is easy to keep well if we would only observe each day a few simple rules of health. The all important thing is to keep the stomach right, and to do this 1t is mt necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill of fare Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetite and a feeling that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided.
 Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good ad- vice on this subject. He says: 1T am 6S years old and have never had a se- rious illness, and at the anne time my life has been largely an indoor enc, but I early discovered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a healthy stomach. not by eating bran crackers or by dieting of any sort on the con trary l always eat what my appetite craves, but for the past eight years have made it a daily practice to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets after each meal and I attribute my robust health for man of my age to the regular daily use of Stuart's Tab lets
 My physician first advised me to use them because he said they were per fectly harmless and were not a secret patent medicine, but contained only the natural dgestives, peptones and diastase. and after using them for a few weeks I have never ceased to thank him for his advice.
 I honestly believe the habit of taking Stuart's Dyspesia Tablets after each meal is the real health habit, because their use brings health to the sick and ailing, and preserves health to the well and strong"
 Men and women past fifty years need a safe digestive after meals to insure perfect digestion and to ward off dis ease, and the safest, best known and most widely used Is Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets
 They are found in every well regulat- ed household from Maine to California and in Great Britain and Australia are rapidly pushing their way into popular favor.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, full sized pkgs. at 50 cents, and for a weak stomach a fifty cent pack age will often do fifty dollars worth of good.

HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consumP-
tives take Of their own cases is
strongly in their favor. Each
year is showing a larger per-
centage of cures.
One of the best reasons for
good hope is the record of
SCOTS Emulsion as a medicine
for consumptives. So long as
the system is strong enough to
use medicine of any kind it can
use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpful
ness in this disease is because
of its long tolerance by the
patient; one does not tire of
it as quickly as other medi-
cines and that is where the
great benefit comes.
