Antics of Bat produce Commotion
 In Church.

From the New York World.
 New Haven-A bat in the choir loft of St. Patrick's church at the service in honor of the church's patron saint caused a sudden cessation of the music and a panic among the singers last night.

The women's voices died away and they jumped back. With their eyes on the bat the Quartette began again. The voices rang out loud and full until the bat darted directly across the books before them.
 Miss Kennedy's high c ended in a scream and she sank into her chair, almost fainting. The bat flew among the girls in the chorus and frightened them 70 that several tainted.
 The Rev. Father Fogarty. not knowing the cause of the disturbance. proceeded with his address on "The Spirit of St. Patrick" After the service the male members of the choir had bat hunt and destroyed the little disturb T.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless 1t Is Di gested.

gested.
 Nearly every one will admit that as a nation we eat too much meat and too lit- tie of vegetables and the grains.
 For business men, office men and clerks, and in fact every one engaged in seden- tary or indoor occupations, grains, milk md vegetables are much more health full
 Only men engaged in a severe outdoor manuel labor can live on a heavy meat 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 nutricious foods are difficult of digestion and 1t Is of no use to advise brain workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the di- gestion is too weak to assimilate them properly.
 It is always best to get the best re- suits form our food that some simple and harmless digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive or gans, and several years experience have proven Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very safe. pleasant and effective diges- tive and remedy which may be taken daily with the best results.
 Stuart's 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 hydrochloric 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 in- furious habit as the tablets contain abso- luteiy nothing but natural digestives; CO., caine. morphine and similar drugs have no place in a stomach medicine and Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best known and most popular of all stom- ach remedies.
 Ask your druggist for fifty cents pack age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and af- ter a weeks use note the improvement in health. appetite ana nervous energy.

Walker Whiteside,

Walker Whiteside will present his new play, Heart and Sword" at the Jef- ferson Theatre next Monday, matinee and night. In speaking of the perform ance the Indianapolis Journal says:

 Heart and Sword is the title of the new play. On the programme it is desig- mated as romantic comedy, while Mir. Whiteside in his charming curtain ad- dress spoke of it as This little comedy.

This incidence well nigh precipitated the prince into a sea of trouble but the other side of his nature-the manly and courageous-as- serted itself. resulting in winning back for himself his principalities and princess bridge in addition.

"Arizona."

Augustus Thomas play, Arizona, to be presented at the Jefferson Theatre next Tuesday, is said to be a conspicuous novelty in the way of stage literature, not that the constructing or animating mo- tives of the characters are any different from those which have become familiar to the student of the drama in Shakespeares time down to the present, but by reason of the unfamiliar field of action and the characters entirely strange to most the atre-goers. Thomas has taken the ranch people of the southwest, Uncle Sam's cav alrymen, the neighboring and cratic Mexican and the bland silent footed Chi nese servitor, for the folks who unwind the skein of as pretty and dainty TO- nance as has ever been written by an American author In selecting the artists who are to impersonate these peculiar characters. Mir Thomas has chosen indi- viduals especially adapted for the DOT trayal of the roles which they are to en- act Among some of the principal players in the Arizona Company are James Full ton, Fraser Coulter, Lionel Barrymore, Charles Lane, Willard Curtis, Miss Laura Almosnino, Grace Thorne, Catherine Countiss Carrie Reynolds and other we'll known professionals.

VICTIMS OF PATRIOTISM.

According to figures obtained In Chi
oago. the casualties OF the Fourth Of
July, throughout the country, amounted
to 1911. But the returns are by no
means complete. They are only APP
proKlmately correct
A contemporary compares this num-
Der Of accidents to the casualties in ths
three days battle around Santiago. and
finds that the total number OF dead
wounded and missing as result Of
that lighting was 1893, or eighteen less
than the victims Of Independence Day.
The fatalities were greater, however.
at Santiago, the dead being 300. as
against nineteen who died OF injuries
received during the celebration.
There should be some way Of eele-
brating the birth Of a nation, different
from that which yearly Graves as many
victims as great battle. Minister Wa
In his Philadelphia Grafton, reminded
his hearets that the hrecracker came
from China. II is IN no way an Amerl~
can Institution. and its connection with
American independence Is not clear.
II patriotism must find an expression
In noise, il should be American noise
on such a day and not the noise that
in the first hand is Of pagan origin, per-
haps relic Of fire worship.
