Fortunes Accidentally Found.

'In the sure knowledge that man

$500 in notes between pages 141 and

and welcome letter was found by q
Hamburg shopkeeper when, in dire
misfortune. he had determined to sell
the family Bible that had been in his
possession for many years. Looking
through it before taking it out of ths
house. he found the letter and bank
notes. At such a critical time a for
tune would not have been more well
come. The shopkeeper had failed In
business, his wife had long been i'll.
and consequently he was much In
debt. The discovery of over $50, 900
was the result of game at hide-and-
seek. Some children were playing
near the ruins of an old mansion in
the Canton of Argoore, Switzerland,
when one OF them, hiding from the
others, found large box partly buried.
1t was almost filled with money. lew
elry and other valuables. The father,
on behalf of his children, claimed
$4,000 as a reward for their find. His
claim was contested however, and the
Swiss courts eventually awarded $500
to the children.-Answers

A pug dog has board and lodging in
Senator hcMillan's stable and he has
every qualification TO warrant his as
ISOLATION on equal terms with the thor
Oughbred horses that take the Michi-
gan senator to the capitol every morn
ing. Indeed, the pug dog, whose name
is Piper, far outclasses the thorough
breds socially, because he has made
himself a welcome visitor and great in
the senator's Vermont avenue house,
and Piper would be humiliated If a
reception were held at which he was
not present On such occasions he
takes his place on a mat in the hall
and no visitor escapes his keen, OBJ
serving eye. Piper's knowledge of af-
fairs often surprises even those who
have the highest regard for his intel
ligence.
One of Senator McMillan's grand
children, who lives in the house, goes
out to school every morning, and Pi-
per never fails to be present in the hall
ready to accompany her on time. He
accompanies her to school and then
goes back to the house. At the hour
for dismissing the school Piper always
returns and is found waiting for his
little mistress and walks home with
her sedately. He knows there is no

She Would Not be
Without 1t Now.

Neither would thousands of others. We
refer to Nogelers Curative Compound it
does so much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that people
have found that it is the one true specific.
And what are stomach troubles The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis.
eases and ailments which affect us proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures Indigestion. Here is one
instance
Mr.. w. Bowel of 81, Priory Street. Win
chester, Col, writes 81 wish to state that
my wife has been taking Vogeler's Curative
Compound for long time, and it is the
only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without bottle now"
When We stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula of one of the most eminent living
London physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived from its use, sil not
now be without il at any cost.
