eve live without poetry, music or art,
Live without conscience and live without heart;
We live without friends and live without
books
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
We can live without books; what is knowledge
but grieying?
We live without hope; what is hope but
deceiving?
We can live without love; what is passion but
pining?
But where is the who live without
dining?
Did you ever notice the hunger-haunted look
of the dyspeptic? If he eats what he wants. what
he really needs. 4 period of suffering follows.
He has little pleasure in life. for it is such
tax upon him to get enough digested food into
his blood to sustain strength. lie must eat TO
live; how he cannot help but envy those who can
live to eat-that is, those who experience only
comfort. satisfaction and pleasure in the func-
tions of eating and digestinG food.
The dyspeptic is digusted with himself, dis
gisted with the world, digusted with living. He
is obliged to eat to live; eating causes distress,
and crippled digestion only supplies his blood
with poorly prepared material instead of rich,
nutritious chyle that nourishes and strengthens.
lie is but half fed. hungry, distressed. weak,
despondent, melancholy: one can hardly blame
him if he should be cross, Grabbed surly, cynical
and uncompanionable; contrast his condition with
that Of his neighbor who has vigorous, full
functioned digestive organs and You will feel
like hardening him for being somewhat envious.
Note the man who enjoys his meals. who finds
eating a great pleasure not shadowed or marTed
by apprehensions Of impending distress. Only
sense of comfort and satisfaction attends his
digestion of the more than square neal which
was rounded OUT with extras. His digestive
organs furnish creamy, perfect chyle and rich
blood fills his veins His every tissue is well and
plentifully ied and his smiling. satisfied face re-
fleets the zest that good living gives to life.
How is your digestion? Can you ply the fork
and spoon with credit and without apprehension,
or is your stomach weak, inactive and unable to
digest food? Does it subject you to
and distress by day and disturb |
your rest by nlght? Does Indigestion acqpaint /
you with the horrors of insomnia or the dreadful |
,aprices of nightmare? Ii SO, you can be re-
ieyed and cured.
Indigestion has no teTors for those who are
amiliar with the virtues OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. They can bid defiance to gastro-intes-
.inal turmoil and stomach qualms. square

of the Minister TO Mexico, has recently
been detached from that Embassy and as
signed TO the cavalry stationed at Fort

Concerning this change there is a story
not told in the military records.
During the Christmas holidays young
Clayton and some OF his American COM
panions became engaged In an argument
concerning American policies in the
Orient and the Antilles. There were pres
ent several Mexican officers. and the ar
gument became quite heated. The scene
was hotel lobby. where all had gathered
to attend some social function.
Challenge Was Prompt.
the Mexicans said some things which
the Americans, particularly Lieutenant
Clayton. resented At length the lie was
passed and the entire company became
involved in blows. That night Mexican
officer formally waited on Lieutenant
Clayton and in behalf of one of the bel
challenged him to duel
Clayton explained that be could not
fight, his commission in the United States
Army forbidding in the strongest way any
such performance. The Mexican three
times renewed his challenge. Then Clay
ton was expelled from all the clubs in
the City Of Mexico.

Into 1t.

CoNNELLSvILLE. Pa. March 9.-The
family of James Thorp, with two board
ers. were penned in the upper part of
their home at Indian Creek last night

by hearing the flames cracking down
stairs, and aroused the others. The fire
cut off escape by the stairway, and Thorp
jumped from window twenty feet into
a snow drift. The boarders followed him,
and then one by one his wife and four
children made the leap.

singed off by the fire and Mrs. Thorp's

in eminent danger of going to the bottom.
They enjoyed the fun, laughing and clap

filling with water.

ALASKA INDIANS
SLOW TO PURCHASE
Debate for Weeks Over Any
Household Article Desired.
Inspection Made by Entire Family tIauv
Times Before Bargain Is
Completed.

A number of the Indian tribes in this
neighborhood of Fort WrargeI and other
| Alaskan towns have a most peculiar
method of making their purchases as
much as a month or five weeks frequent
| ly being consumed in the completion of
! one transaction
| When an Indian wishes to make pur-
chase the woman of the household is
first sent to the store or trading post to
view the stock and decide if there is
| anything available which will in any wav
meet the requirements. The woman
usually fnds it necessary to visit the
store at least three times before she is
at all certain In her own mind that the
article desired can be obtained there.
Family Meeting Held.
Then she reports the result of her in
yestigations to her husband, and a family
meeting is held to decide whether the
article is really needed at all. Then. If
the members of the household decide in
the affirmative, the head Of the house pays
visit to the store with his wife, the
latter pointing out the wares that she has
inspected during her previous calls. These
the husband examines carefully, much as
his wife has done. The operation is long
one and IS usually performed in silence.
Whatever decision the man reaches he
keeps TO himself, returning to the store
daily to re-examine the wares. When
FULLY week has been devoted to this
snail-like process all steps in the pro-
spective purchase are abandoned for n
few days more, obviously for the purpose
OIL allowing the household time to think it
over Then the entire family, with the ex-
ceptlon OF the children who are too young

of the article.
The trader, who, from long experience
with these peculiar people knows their
characteristics, merely tells them the
price OF the object, knowing that any at
tempt to bargain or talk with them would
prove fatal to the sale
Price Obtained.
Having ascertained the price of the ar
ticle and allowed every member of the
family TO inspect it. the people go awav.
In short time a conference is held with
at least two dozen friends and relatives
OF the family, the price of the object and
the eNDedience Of purchasing it being /
discussed at great length.

purchase is made without delay. cash !

The methods Of growing corn for the
silo are practically the same as those
for growing corn for any other pur
pose. Begin by blowing the ground to
a good depth and follow with harrow
or disk. working until the clods are
pulverized and the land Is In the very
best Of condition. When the soil is
well warmed up-say the last week of
April or any time In May-plant at the
rate OF about one bushel of seed to six
or seven acres. The kernels can be
dropped In drills or hills. Some grow
ers prefer one way and some the other.
For silage corn the aim should be to
get good growth Of the entire plant.
A medium sized stalk with heavy TO-
liage and as many ears as practicable
1s the most desirable. II the corn is
planted in hills, try to get three or
four grains In each hill II drilled,
try to have one stalk to every foot
Any variety which grows well in the
locality will answer. 1t is not neces.
sary to plant special sllage corn.
Cultivation of silo corn should be
thorough and frequent. AS soon as
weeds appear. even If this be before
the corn plant shows above ground, go
over the field with slant tooth har.
row or some kind Of q weeder.-Amer-
lean Agriculturist.
When Horses bolt Their Food.
Horses that are greedy and inclined
to bolt their food should be fed grain
In wide bottomed manger. and even
then 1t is well to place few large
pebbles in the bottom the size Of a
mans fist or larger. This compels
slower eating and secures better mas
ticatien.
