A Weak
 StOEn1aCfn

Indigestion is often caused by over eating An eminent authority says the harm done thus exceeds that from the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all the good food you want but don n't over load the stomach. A weak stomach may refuse to digest what you eat. Then you need good digestant like Kodol, which digests your food with out the stomach's aid. Tbis rest and the wholesome tonics Kodol contains soon restore health. Dieting unneces- sary Kodol quickly relieves the feel ing of fitness and bloating from which some people suffer after meals. Absolutely cures indigestion.

COMPETITIVE HUNTING.
A Species of Sport Which Is Still Fol-
lowed in the AdirOndacks.

A Species of Sport Which Is Still Fol-
lowed in the AdirOndacks.
Competitive hunting is still INDUCED
in in the southern Adirondacks. At a
recent meeting in Boonville an organ
ization of sportsmen was formed with
the object of promoting the sport. The
president of the organization is B. A.
Capron, secretary, J, Arch Bateman,
and treasurer, DR.. w. S. Seavey.
The 70 members of the organization
are DIVIDED into two sides and Ed
ward Johnson and c. E. Thompson are
the captains. The schedule of points
this organization has arranged is as
follows: Partridge 10, woodcock 10,
crow so, blackbird Is, hawk rs, crane
200, sparrow g. duck 100, deer 100,
bear 1000, woodchuck 100, gray SPUR
rel 25, black squirrel rs, red squirrel
Is, chipmunk Is, kingfisher so, raven
100, rabbit %, snipe 5, hedgehog so, rae
coon 100.
One hunt has been held this fall
and the result was that large num-
Der of birds and squirrels were secured.
Chipmunks and squirrels suffered most.
Many partridges were shot also. The
team under the captaincy of Johnson
scored 1880 points, while Capt. Thomp-
sons men got only 1855 points.
This is the only part of the great
forest of northern New York in which
competitive hunting is followed today.
Everywhere else the sportsmen have
come to appreciate the fact that this
kind of amusement results in the wan
ton destruction Of a very large number
of wild birds and animals, the greater
number of which are not only harm
less, but also of benefit in one way OF
another to the human race.-New Yorl

The Woodchuek.

H. D. Reed and Verne Morton, in
country Lie in America, tell an inter-
esting and pictorial story of the wood
chuck, or ground hog.
Perhaps no wild mammal" says
Mr.. Reed, sis more familiar to coun-
try people that the woodchuck. Every
hillside and meadow is dotted with
the small piles of earth which mark
the doorway to his home. The wood
chuck prefers a hillside or a knoll in
which to dig his hole, for here he can
easily make the end Of his den higher
than the beginning, thus avoiding the
danger Of being drowned out.
What could be more unlike in gen
eral appearance than woodchuck and
squirrel? Yet they are cousins, both
Deiong to the same family of mammals
The trim body, sharp claws and agility
of the squirrels make it possible for
them to lead an arboreal life, jumping
recklessly from branch to branch,
while the flabby form and short legs
of the woodchuck better adapt him for
digging than for running or climbing.
The nature of the food of the wood
chuck is such that he cannot lay up
stores as the chipmunks do, nor is it
of such a kind that it can be obtained
during the winter. The case of this
creature during the winter seems to
be, therefore, one of sleep long and
soundly or starve During the win
ter's sleep or Information, life pro-
cesses go on very slowly. Breathing s
reduced, and the heart beats become sc
slow and feeble that they cannot b.
felt. They come from their winters

York.

How the Beaver Breathes in Winter.
"The beaver is really a sort of port
able pulp mill, grinding up most any
kind of wood that comes his way.
once measured a white birch tree, %
inches through, cut down by beay-
er. A single beaver, generally, if not
always, amputates the tree, and when
it comes down the whole family fall
to- and have a regular frolic with the
bark and branches. A big beaver will
bring down a fair sized sapling-say
three inches through-in about two
minutes, and a large tree in about an
hour
Zone Of the queerest facts about the
beaver is the rapidity with which his
long, chisel shaped teeth recover from
an injury. / have known beavers to
break their teeth in biting a trap,
and when l caught them again 10 days
afterward you couldn't see a sign Of
the break-the teeth had grown out to
their former perfection in that short
period.
GAS compared with the otter or mink
the beaver is a very slow swimmer. His
front legs hang by his sides, and he
uses only his webbed hind feet for
purposes of swimming. 1t is easy
to capture one in a canoe if you can
find him in shoal water He is a most
determined fighter, but clumsy and
easy to handle. If he could get hold
of you with his teeth he would almost
take a leg off, so you want to watch
him sharply. The place to grab him
/ is by the tail.
1.-THE ability Of a beaver to remain
under water for long time is really
not so tough a problem as it looks
When the lake or pond is frozen over
a beaver will come to the under sur
face Of the ice and expel his breath
so that it will form a wide, fiat bub-
bic. The air, coming in contact with
the ice and water, is purified. and thl

he refused on the ground that he could
not afford it. This excuse would not
pass. lie was reminded that he had
boosted that he breakfasted of a table
for which he would not take a thou
sand pounds, and that therefore it was
that the then lord mayor and two Of
the aldermen were rather curious to
SEQ this wonderful table, and went
home with him, self-invited, to dinner
one day. Eyre babe his wife set some
food on "the little table" for his guests.
She refused at first, but finding her
good man in earnest, sat down upon
a stool, spread a napkin over her lap,
and then placed a Yenison pasty on
it. There" said Simon, turning

Mrs. de la Fame glided down the
footpath leading toward the summer
house. She was dressed in white. AS
she drew near she caught the sound
of voices, and walked slowly past the
doorway.
She gave a little dry cough when
she recognized John Beresford and Mu-
riel Molyneux.
She seemed annoyed to find the sum-
mer house occupied at that moment.
She paced the footpath for a few mo-
ments and then returned to the hotel
She went to the pigeonhole where she
generally found her letters and tele-
grams. 1t was empty. Soon after
midnight she went to the pigeonhole
again. There was a sealed packet
waiting for her. With a sigh of relief
she carried it hastily to her room and
read:
