DIR. BYLES STOOD GUARD.
1t Was n Thanksgiving Day, and the
Cause Was Urgent.


One of the most famous of the old
Puritan divines was DIR. Mather Byles,
who was born in Boston in 1I06 and
who was the first pastor of the Hollis
Street Congregational church, TO which
he miniStered for more than 10 years
DIR. Byles was famous as humorist
and wit, and innumeTable anecdotes
are related of his clever quips and re-
torts. He was n jealous Tory and
warmly advocated the cause of the
mother country" against the colonies.
In November, 17TT. he was arrested as
Il Tory, tried, convicted and sentenced
TO be confined on boaStl Il guapl ship
and sent TO England with his family
within 40 days. The sentence was aft
erward committed by the board of war
to confinement in his own house, Il
guard being placed over him with in
structions not to permit him to leave
his residence for a moment under any
circumstances.
On Thanksgiving morning, observing
that the sentinel, who. like many of the
colonial soldiers, was Il simple rustic,
lad disappeared and that DIR. BylcS
himself was pacing up ana down be-
fore his own door with musket on his
shoulder the neighbOrs crossed the
street to inquire the cause of this sin
gular spectacle.
"You sec" said DIR. Byles. II begged
my guard 10 let me go out to procure
some cider with which myself and
family might celebrate Thanksgiving
day, but he would not permit me TO
stir. l argued the point with him, and
he has now gone to get the cider for me
on condition that l keep guard over
myself during his absence"

Actors Who stntter.

1t would seem that the stage is not
only the last profession that would be
chosen by a person afflicted by stutter-
ing. but that sufferer would never
dream of selecting that profession.
Yet it is fact that some well known
actors and singers labor under this dis
advantage.
The strangest thing about it is that
the sad impeachment which is so pain
fully evident in private life seems to
vanish entirely when they are on the
boards.
1t is curious that appearance on the
stage or in the pulpit should have this
beneficial effect, for Sufferers in other
walks of life do not lose their impede
ment when at work, however enthusi-
astic their love for their profession

Trouble.

Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, making it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
tion and to insure the prompt assimi-
lation of food.
This can bo done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation.
like Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found at most drug stores,
and which contains valuable, harm
less digestive elements in a pleasant,
convenient form.
l. is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of S.usrt's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except can
Ger of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold Jy druggists at 30 cents. Little
book on stomach troubles mailed free.

Queer Timepieces Owned by Two of
EnEIand's Queens.

EuRIand's Queens.
Among the treasures or Swiss mu-
scum, inserted in the top of an old fash
toned pencil case. is the tiniest watch
ever constructed. 1t is only three-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter, and its
little dial net only indicates hours, min
utes and Seconds, but also the days Of
the month. So perfectly formed is this
lilliputian watch that ii keeps excel
lent time and is n marvellous piece of
mechanical workmanship.
Two of the most elaborate and curl
Gus watches which the world has ever
seen belonged to Queen Elizabeth and
her unfortunate contemporary. Mary,
queen OF Scots. Good Queen Bess had
a watch made for her in the form of a
duck. with beautifully chased feathers,
the lower part OF which opened. The
face was of silver. with an elaborate
gilt design, and the whole was kept in
n case of brass, covered with black
leather thickly studded with big silver
knobs.
The i'll fated Mary was the posscssor
OF n watch in the form of a skull. The
dial was introduced where the palate
should have been. and the works occu-
pied the place of brains in the crani-
um. In the hollow of the skull. more
over. was bell which had works of its
own and by means OF which hammer

One of tie choicest rarities Of the
Bernal collection was Il book shaped
watch. This curious time indicator was
made by order of BogislauS XIV, Duke
of POmerania, in the time of Gustayus
Adolphus. On the face of the book,
where the dial of the watch is set
there is an engraved inscription of the
duke and his titles and armorial bear
ings, together with the date, 1927. on
the back the engravings are also very
finely and skillfully executed, among
them being the portraits of two gentle
men OF the seventeenth century. The
dial plate is of silver, chased in relief,
while the inSides are beautifully chased
with figures of birds and foliage. The
watch has two separate movements and
n large, sweet toned bell. At the back,
over this bell. the metal is ornamental

Real organic disease is incurablc;
but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the
same great nerves, the sympathetic

In another way, also. the heart is
affected by the form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There IS a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in

Worked Up Nearly to- the
Fighting Point.

Paris. Tune 1O.-Thc two days duel
between Max Regis and NJ. Labor
desque, the Algerian journalist. which
was ended Saturday morning. is TO be
taken up again. Not satisfied with
lighting nineteen rounds Friday and
one Saturday. NJ. Regis will insist that
another battle he fought. and to that
end accepted the challenge which La
berdesquc sent him yesterday. On the
other hand. I.aberdesque refuses TO
listen to lis friends. and as he has been
deserted by his old seconds will pick
new ones for this outbreak with Regis.
Ends in a General Riot.
The cause for the threatened re-
sumption of hOstiiitics was plainly
given 10y Regis. who before he left the
ground Saturday badly wounded,
tainted Laberdesque with cowardice,
and referred to him as an assassin.
Labcrdesque was furious and was ill
clined even then TO attack the wounded
man. but several serious disputes among
the seconds on both sides. and even the
spectators, prevented anything more
being done Saturday.
Looks Like He Had Been Playing.
The fighting Saturday morning last
ed only short time. and il seems
from the result that Laberaesque must
have been playing WITH Regis during
the long nineteen rounds the men
fought Friday. for Saturday morning.
directly after position had been taken.
the journalist made lunge and caught
the anti-semite mayor i'm the right fore
arm, making an ugly wound which
bled very freely. Regis, however.
gamely insisted on having his wound
bound and continuing the fighting.
Where the Riot Came In.
This probably would have been the
outcome had il not been for series
of quarrels that broke out ut this
juncture. Ii is not quite clear what
started the rumpus, but il is known
that insults were thrown right and left
among the various groups of seconds
and spectators. and that in some cases
blows We're struck. Cards were given
and taken. but so ludicrOuS had the af-
fair become by this time that half the
challengers made errors and presented
cards to men they had no quarrel with.
Was n Regular Comedy.
In short, the termination of Satur-
days affair was one of the most COM
ical that can be imagined. Half the
people present were trying To insult
the other half without knowing why.
