Pull up that tree by the roots and they all
die with it.
Group all these courses of suffering and
death "heart failure" with the rest, and
call the whole mass STOMACH FAILURE
and you have hit the nail ON the head.
The digestive organs are the sparkling
fountain of life or the Dead Sea-iust as
you please.
In deep seated dyspepsia with organic
and nervous complications, even dieting
and much chewing will not answer the pur-
pose. The mischief is done. The stomach
must have the distinct and direct help that
lies in the use of Calcura Solvent, the new
medicine prepared by DR.. David Kennedy.
Its results are marvellous even in the worst
cases. 1t allays pain, promotes free flow
of gastric secretion, gives immediate relief
and works radical cure. 1t is new in
theory and in its mode of action. All
druggists, $500 bottle.

TOWN CLOCK ACCEPTED.
Will be in Place in Couple of Months
Bell Will Weigh 1900 Pounds.

The special town meeting called to
take action in the matter of accepting a
town clock, the gift of the heirs of the
late John Robertson and the late DR..
Daniel Campbell, convened in the town
hall building at p. M. Thursday. @. H..
Williams was elected moderator and the
following motion was adopted: That the
town accept the clock as offered and
that the selectmen are hereby authorized
and instructed to put the tower in prop
er condition for the reception of said
clock and that they maintain and keep
the same in good repair and keep it
lighted at night and that they draw their
orders upon the treasurer therefor.
The selectmen estimate that the cost
of putting the tower in condition will
not exceed 500, and the only extra cost
of maintaining the clock will be the
small bill for electricity. The clock will
be put in by Boston firm, and will prob
ably cost about $500. 1t will be an
eight-day clock of the most substantial
and modern make. The bell, which will
be easily heard all over the village, will
weigh 1900 pounds and will be an impor-
tant part of the mechanism. We are in
formed it will probably be two months
or so before the clock will be in place.
This handsome gift to the town will
fittingly keep alive the memory of two
of Rockingham's most useful and hon
ored citizens

a famous physician and author entities
one of his books "The Demon of Dyspep-

perish through the power of it. At all sea-

The Lost Repeater.

When Monsieur-the first Monsieur
at the court of Louis XIV.-discoyered
at his levee that his watch had been
stolen, presumably by one of his
Wallets, he finished dressing hastily,
and, addressing them all, said: "Gen-
tlemen, the watch strikes. Let us sep
'arate as quickly as we can" What a
tact and finish was here! The spirit
OF Monsieur was admirably caught by
the French gentleman of the time
who. attacked by robbers at o'clock
in the afternoon, simply observed:

day."-Cornhill.

POOR JOE.
BY Mrs. Charles G. Marble.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

4 FIERCE north wind came sweeping
n down the mountain, shrieking
through the naked December woods,
wailing up and down the streets and
around the corner of the houses in
little western town, bearing upon its
angry blasts myriads of tiny flakes OF
snow.
At the window of very humble
dwelling child stood and watched
the feathery flakes as they fell. The
measure of his years was small-cer-
tainly not more than four had passed
over his sunny head-yet his counte-
nance bore rather q serious express
sion, and in his large pensive blue
eyes lurked certain something
which made the passerby wonder
what shadow it was that lurked
therein, shadow which caused them
to sigh even as they smiled into the
lonely face at the window. His head
was a veritable crown of glory. Like
spun gold it shone even under the
leaden sky, but when kissed by the
warm lips of the sun, it was halo,
indeed, that those golden rings made
about the almost divine head of the
child.
Hes not long for this EARTH" the
neighbors were wont to remark. "His
eyes, for the most part, seem ever to
be fixed on something beyond this.
He looks like an angel, anyway, the
darling"
1T would about kill his mother to
lose him, her only comfort she calls
him." adds another, "but-" and a
sad shake of the head finishes the
sentence.
That mother, widow, to whom
life is one long struggle, sits, to-day,
by the meager fire silently stitch
ing upon some coarse store garments.
A frail-looking woman, with
sweet, pretty face, as the mother of
such a child only could possess.
The room was as neat as tireless
hands could make it, and as the poor,
much-used furniture would allow.
"Of what are you thinking, Harry?"
presently said the mother, marking
the child's abstraction.
81 is thinking of poor Joe. mamma,
who lives down in the lane yonder.
home just now"
The mother shook her head sadly.
"Poor Joel" she said, "there is no
hope for him, fear, no hope. He will
fill drunkard's grave before very
long"
"He amt got no mamma to help
him." continued the child reflectively,
"and is so sorry for joe"
Steadily the mother stitched on,
and the silence was broken only by
the loud ticking of the cheap clock on
the mantel.
II is wonderin' IL God will give
poor Joe some 'trismas, mamma"
pursued the child. "Does you think
he will?"
The mothers lips closed in rebel
1ious pressure for moment, as her
gaze wandered out upon the snow
fiecked street.
"Christmas," she answered sadly,
'brings but little joy to the poor,
Harry. For them remains only snow
and cold and hunger. But II get
this work done in time, we will have
some Christmas, you and /, never
fear"
"Dit pie, mamma" said the happy
child, "and a chicken, big chicken
like papa used to get"
EYES," replied his mother sadly, 'if
can afford it, will get turkey as
mana used To get"
The boy smiled and looked out up.
on the fast-falling flakes with re-
newed attention.
"And poor Joe, mamma, can't he
come too?"
The mother stayed her needle for
moment, and then with a new light
upon her face said slowly

NINE DowIE1TEs HURT.
Zionists suffer In Melee with Police
at Evanston, Ills.

Chicago, July 11.-Nine followers Of
John Alexander Dowie were somewhat
seriously hurt in a riot i'm Evanston,
where they attempted to hold a meet
ing, resisted the police and We're finally
dispersed by company of firemen,
who turned a stream of water on them
from Il fire hose. Those injured We're:
J. G. Speicher, cut on shoulder; w.
o. Demius, head cut; Elizabeth Van
Horn, back injured; b. Il. Morris, cut
over eye; Caroline Hartman, cut over
eye and shoulder sprained; Il. A.
Graves, face cut. o. G. Kibby, cut
about head; Norris Van Horn, badly
hurt from blows on head and body;
Mrs. Jennie Plank, back and shoulder
hurt.
Many others We're also more or less
hurt. When the Dowieites who had
been arrested by the police reached
the courtroom, they began to sing and
shout their celebrations, so that those
who had collected on the outside could
hear them. Overseers Piper and Spcich-
er were put under bonds to insure their
appearance on July II before Justice
Ely to answer charges of disorderly
conduct and refusing to clear the
streets.
Chief Of Police Knight led the escort
which conducted the Dowieites to the
depot. Before the train pulled out the
crowd again became boster0us, and
missiles were thrown, but no further
harm was done.
Corporation Counsel Paden of Evans
ton, upon whose advice Mayor Patten
acted when he directed the hose turned
upon the Dowieitcs, says, "rhe Dowie
ties We're arrested not because they
came here to preach, hut because they
blocked one of the streets with theiI
meeting and refused to move on wher
told to do so"
