York and her short theatrical career was
not a success.
At that time "Jim" Fisk. the son of
Vermont horse trader and peddler. was
perhaps the most conspicuous figure in
New York. He was the man whom fate
or some evil genius set apart to come
under the thrall of this Mana, whom he
aftcrward housed in palace fit for a
queen.
Fisk came to New York from a COR

he had made his home since his coming

and then had Fisk arrested for conspiracy
and false Imprisonment. Fisk forced
down the stock Of the oil company and
nearly ruined Stokes. Josie Mansfield at
once took the part OF Stokes and gave
him letters she had received from Fisk,
exposing the secrets Of Tammany and the
Erie ring. Fisk paid $4,000 to get them
back and then sued Stokes and Mansfield

livered to Mr.. Mackay at the Palace Hotel
a note from Stokes reading as follows:
Mr.. Stokes begs that Mr.. Mackay accept
the mare Eva, with his compliments and
best wishes" From this dated the we'll
known friendship between Mackay and
Stokes. In conjunction with Read. Stokes
later bought a mine from Mackay. which
he placed In London and Paris at a profit
OF nearly $4,000. 900.

The FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying
n Good Medicine

stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that peo-
pie are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical. per-
manent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their
acu ness in never being humbugged. es-
Pccially in medicines.
This fear OF being humbusged can be
carried too far. so far. in fact. that many
people suffer for years with weak dises-
tiCn rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made Of preparation so reliable and uni
versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Now. stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medicines
for the reason that they are not a secret
patent medicine, no secret is made of
their ingredients. although they are sold
BY all druggists under protection of
trademark. but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments
pure assptic pepsin, the digestive acids
Golden Seal, bismuth. hydrastis and nux.
They arc not cathartic, neither do they
act pow crsully on any organ. but they
cure Indigestion on the common sense
plan of digestng the food eaten thorough
" before it has time to ferment sour and
cause the mischief. This is the cniy Sc
crct of their success
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach troubles
because they act entirely on the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in
the stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That Is all there
is to It. Food no. digested or half digest
cd is poison. as it creates gas, acidity.
headaches. palpitation OF the heart. loss
of flesh and many other troubles which
