THE SWAMP SINGER.

List to his voice
ker-runk ker- chunk
AS he sings in the lowland sedges.
List to the plunge of his dart-like lunge
As he dives where the cress-meed dredges;
The fox-nre glows in the misty gray
OF the home of the singer chilly,
Whose pop-eyes peep in furtive way
From the breast of white pond lily.
List to his voice
Ker-runk ker-chunk!
AS he sits on the bank II dreaming.
List to the splash as his sleek legs dash
To the depths where the fish are cleaning;
The sunbeams creep through the leafy gloam
VI the nook of the singer chilly.
Whose pop-ey es peep from his island home,
The breast of a white pond lily.

Human Prev of wild Animals

The report of the government Of In
1ia for 1899 shows that for that year
25,5S7 human lives fell prey to wild
animals. By far the largest number
24,62l-were killed by snakes. Tigers
were responsible for S99 deaths, wolves
for 1898, leopards 1926 and 1,4O2 were
killed by elephants, hyenas, jackals,
and crocodiles together. The deaths
due to serpents were much more nu-
nerous than during preceding years.

Blind Tom" who was the musical
prodigy of the last generation, has re.
appeared in concert at the age of 52
years. He is the same mental imbe-
cile as of old, and since retiring from
the stage has spent his days in asy-
lums and sanitariums, but his musi-
cal powers are said to be unimpaired.
He can still play three airs at once,
play with his back to the piano, and
Immediately reproduce any air which
he hears. He is human freak, unex-
planned and unexplainable.

A new theory concerning the in
crease of appendicitis attributes it to
worms or microbes swallowed by the
patient when eating raw fruit. Old
school physicians and surgeons sling,
however, to the opinion that most of
the alleged cases are fictitious and the
product of imaginative young practi-
tioners who desire an opportunity to
display a little surgical skill at the
expense of the patient.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying a
Good Nj cUiciuo

Stomach troubles are so common and
IN most cases SO obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestlon. Many such pride themselves on
ged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far. so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak dises-
ton rather than risk a Little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made of a preparation so reliable and
universally used as Stuarts DYSPEPSIA
Tablets.
Now, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablet, are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not . secret
patent medicine, no secret is made of
their ingredients. although they are sold
by all druggists under protection of
trade mark, but analysis shows then, 70
contain the natural digestive ferments
pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids.
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux.
They are not cattartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ, but they
cure indigestion on the common-sense
plan of digesting the food eaten thor
oughly 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 trou-
.bles because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
rally in the stomach.

meals digest the food. That is all there
