VIII Americans ever have a shrine
such as the little petrified angel of the

Guadalupe Hidalgo, situated about five
kilometres from the CITY of Mexico,
where is the shrine Of Nuestra. Sonora de
Guadalupe. one of the richest cathedrals
in the world "Our Lady" is the patron
saint of Mexico, and clustered about the
cathedral are numerous beautiful legends.
In 1874 the Virgin of Guadalupe was pro-
claimed the especial patroness of the In
dams and. according to the generally
accepted tale, a devout young buck be-
came the promoter of the subscriptions
that built the shrine. 1t seems that no
one would subscribe until the Virgin sent
him to a millionaire living in the city
of Mexico with a handful of flowers con-
cealed under the folds of his serape.

said our Lady. "He will understand that
tbev come from me-" When the serape
was opened in the presence of Senior
blank the flowers had disappeared, and in
their stead was a likeness Of the Virgin
woven into the fabric of the cloth. The
miracle had the entirely natural effect
of enlisting the millionaire i'm the good

CHILDREN OF THE NEW KING.
Duke of York Is the Idol of the
british Navy.

The death Of Queen Victoria creates a
lively interest in the children of the new
King, who, by the laws regulating the
succession, stand as heirs TO the crown
of the United Kingdom. Albert Edward
has an extensive family. He has one son
and three daughters living, and seven
grandchildren, so that the chances ot
any of his royal brothers and sisters or
their immediate descendants sitting in
the chair of St Edward are decidedly re-
mote.
The death of the Queen makes the eld-
est living son, George Frederick, Duke
of York, heir apparent to the throne. and
he will ct once be created Prince of
Wales The eldest son of the King, Al
bert Victor, died in 1882, almost on the
eve OF his wedding to Princess Victoria
Mary of Teck, who married his brother,
the Duke of York,~-u year later, we'd
ding which provoked not few ugly
comments in England at the time, espe-
cially as there were nasty .rumors afioat
about morganatic marriage between
the Duke and an English lady at Malta
only a few years previous says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat The marriage has
turned out most happily, however, for
while there was little real affection be-
tween them when the nuptials were cele'
brated, the couple have since grown very
fond of each other, and their home is
one of the happiest among all the royal
families OF Europe. The Duke is bluff,
hearty young man, well liked by all who
know him and loved TO the core by the
navy. He is almost a god to the sailors,
and it is said they swear by him. He is
fond of outdoor sports, particularly il
they are of the aquatic branch, and mu-
sic He is a good husband, a kind and
loving father and a man with but little
taste for the pomp and vanity of social
world He prefers to spend his days
quietly with his family, and is said to
have perfect horror of social function.

CARRIED TOO FAR.
The Fear of Being Deceived or Hum
plugged Prevents Many People
FROM Irving a 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
nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many such people pride themselves on
their acuteness in never being humbug-
ged, especially in medicines
This fear of being Nhumbugged can be
carried too far. so far in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
ton rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the cbaims
made for remedy so reliable and
universally used as Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Now stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary patent medicines for the
reason that they are not a secret pa tent
medicine; no secret is made of the III
gradients. but analysis shows them to con-
tain the natural digestive ferments. pure

neither do they act powerfully on any
particular organ, but they cure indiges,
ton on the common sense plan of digest
ing the food eaten, thoroughly before il
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 troubles, be-
cause they act only on the bowels, where
as the whole trouble is in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there
is to it. Food not digested or half
digested is poison, as it creates gas, acid
ity, headaches, palpitation of the heart

troubles, which are often called by some
other name.
