MUNYON'S
y DYSPEPSIA
CURE
When Prof Munyon says his Dyspepsia Cure
will cure indigestion and all forms Of stomach
trouble he simply tells the truth. 1t will cure
stomach that has been abused by over-eating and
over-drinking. 1t will cure a stomach that has
been weakened by old-style drugs. 1t will do much
toward making an old stomach act like sound one.

A London cable a day or two ago
contained the information that the
historic Battle Abbey and the estate
surrounding ii had been sold at public
auction for 81, OOO,OO An estate OF g.
900 acres was included in the sale.
A real estate agent was the success
full bidder. but he resolutely refused
TO give out his clients name. The in
junction of secrecy was imposed upon
every one concerned. All that could
be learned was that the buyer was
not an American, and there was no
indication that any American was rep
resented in the bidding.
The auctioneer, in referring to the
fact that the Abbey was erected by
William the Conqueror, described the
latter as the DR.. jameson of that
period.
The Duke of Norfolk ana Lord Rose
berry have been mentioned as possible
purchasers of the property, which
Capt. Forester. grandson of the late
Duke of Cleveland recently inherited,
but declined to keep.
Battle Abbey is situated near Bat
tie, Hastings, Sussex. The town re-
ceived its name from being the spot
on which the Saxons, under Harold,
We're defeated by William. Duke Of
Normandy, at the battle of Hastings,
in 1866. After the battle William the
Conqueror founded a magnificent alb
hey to commemorate his victory. The
high altar in the church is said to have
stood on the very spot where the body
of the Saxon king was found.
The property just sold belonged to
I,n of x1riIn Of
the fourth and last Duke of Cleveland.
She died May IS of the present year.
She was the mother of Lord Rosebery,
and married as her second husband,
the Duke of Cleveland in 1854.
The Norman Duke, marching from
Pevensey. a few miles away. where he
had landed, found the Saxons, under
Harold, intrenched behind a stockade
on ground which lies within the en-
closure of Battle estate. So stubborn
was the defense that the future of the
day was uncertain till William order
ed his archers to shoot upward. An ar
row pierced Harolds eye and he fell,
with a few of his earls faithful to the
last. The Abbey was instructed to the
Benedictine order, and enjoyed for 500
years great celebrity. At the Reform
alton it was presented by Henry VIII
to his Master of the Horse, who con-
verted the monastic buildings into a
private dwelling house and added the
banquetting hall. After passing
through various hands the property
came into the possession of the Dukes
OF Cleveland.
Nathaniel Hawthorne described the
Gatehouse built in 1888. as just as solid
and massive as when il was first built,
the perfect reality of a Gothic battle
ment, hoary and venerable with many
centuries. The Abbot's Hall, the Beg
CARS Hall and some of the old clois-
ters are still part of the building, while
the ruins include some relics of the
Abbey Church of St. Martin, with the
site of the high altar. raised in tultl-
ment of William the Conqueror's vow
over the spot where Harold fell.
