THE ROAD TO DYSPEPSIA.
why So Many Persons Suffer From
This DIntrersIng Trouble.


1t requires about five hours for the
stomach to work on an ordinary meal
and pass it out of itself, when it falls
into state of reposc; hence If a man
eats three times day his stomach
must work fifteen hours out of the
twcnty-fOur. After Il nights sleep we
wake up with certain amount OF bod
lily vigor which is faithfully pOrtiOned
out to every muscle of the system and
every set of muscles, each its rightful
share, the stomach among others.
When the external body gets weary
after long days work, the stomach
bears it's share of the fatigue, but IL,
when the body is weary with the days
toll. we put it to bed, giving the stom-
ach meanwhile l. five hours task which
must be performed, we impose upon
the very best friend we have-the one
that gives us one of the largest amounts
of earthly cnioymcnt-and If this over
taxing is continued it must as certain
ly wear out prematurely as the body
itself will if it is OverwOrked every
day.
And. If persons eat between meals,
then the stomach has no rest from
breakfast in the morning until /, >. 3
or o'clock next day; hence it is that
so many persons have dyspepsia. The
stomach is worked so much and so
constantly that it becomes too weak to
work Mt all.-London Family Doctor.

CHIPS
BY Homer Lee Smith
Copyright, 1901, by A. S. Richardson

Among the Cubans who were ready
TO receive the munitions OF war as the
steamer was backed in little cove at
midnight after successfully dodging
the Spanish gunbOats was the outcast.
He was an American and. though in
ragged uniform and having diSrep-
utable look, was evidently much re-
spcctcd by the rebels. He was in
charge Of the party unloading the
arms and had the energy OF SIX ordi-
nary men. When the boxes were safe
" ashore. he said to the five Of us who
hard volunteered for the Cuban service:
Now, boys, come ahead. If you had
known what you were going into, you
wouldn't he here. As it is. you'll have
to make the best of it, The Cubans
want help, but they won't give an out
slider fair show, and II any OF you
happens to be taken prisoner I'll guar
antec that you won't live ten minutes
There's some little patriotism about it,
enough to make you want to shoot
straight. but the whole thing is fam
ily row, and one can't say enough bad
things about either side. My names
Chips. just Chips, and ! came over
here simply to get shot
Chips was n scout. a spy and sharp
shooter and had little to do with the
rank and file. He could have given
any Cuban general spades and cards
on how to conduct campaign. He
was thoroughly disguSted with the
style of fighting and the cruelty prac-
ticcd on prisoners, but he offered no
criticisms.
1t was month before got his story.
We had had two or three skirmishes
with the Spanish and had been amazed
at the reckless manner in which he eX-
posed his life. He was dead shot
and perfectly Indifferent to the enc
mys bullets and honestly believe that
i'm the year he was with the CubanS
he inflicted at least half the loss suf-
fcred by the Spanish. l had heard him
coughing mt night in way to make
me wonder if consumption had not
taken firm hold on him, and I
couldn't help but notice how thin he
was and how little appetite he had. 1t
was one day while we were scouting
within a mile of the Spanish lines and
were lying in n thicket. with the land
crabs nippng Mt our clothing and the
mosquitoes lowering about us In

that's why so many stories Of horrible
crimes come from there. POlinsky is
mt the bottom of every riot and much
murder. 1t is simply mixture of beer
and bad whisky. usually blended in Il
washtub and seasoned with spices. At
every wedding, christening. wake or
other gathering of n social nature there
is always tub Of polinsky. In one
hour all hands will be drunk, in two
hours there will be free fight. and.
unless the police Interfere, in three

more thickly populated communities
the police try to break up these pOlinsky
parties in their incipient stages. but
they don't always succeed"

A Mark Twain Story,

Two Englishmcn were discussing
with Mark Twain the old topic OF
American humor as not appreciated hy
foreigners.
"But are the English really so OBJ
tuae:" asked one of them.
"ObtuSc. You can't get an idea into
an Englishmans head with surgical
operation" declared Mark Twain.
The questioner remained in solemn
thought for a moment. Then he broke
into a hearty laugh.
"Quite a delicious joke" he exclaim-
ed. Though of course IL you were
to open the Englishman's skull you
would kill him. would you nOt?'
Mark Twain turned to the second
Englishman. what did l tell you?
He wants to know whether 1t wouldn't
kill him"
The countenancc of the second Eng
liShman was like a blank wall.
"Wouldn't it:" he queried.-New York

Father Of Modern Jurisprudenee,

Louis IN. was practically the founder
of modern Jurisprudence. About the
year 1241 he noticed the abuses which
were caused in France by men taking
into their own hands the work of re-
dressing their own wrongs and pub
lished a proclamation establishing the
quarantine du rOi. This forbade pri-
vate redress for wrongs for the space
Of forty days after the injury was com.
mitted. During that time the injured
person must seek redress and satisfac-
ton in the kings court. and if his
wrong were not righted at the end of
forty days he might then take it's rec
tification into his own hands.
This proclamation made justice
speedy and tolerably sure. although, OF
course. its administration was in Al
rough and ready way, and unless the
records are at fault some law Of this
kind prevailed in Louisiana Mt the time
when Missouri was part of the
French kings possessions.

A Town Boom Pointer.

1t is probable that almost every rail
road in the country would be glad to
work in conjunction with the citizens
Of town or village to bring about
needed improvements, and the expense
would thus be shared between them.
Lines like the Pennsylvania. New
York Central and Chicago. Burlington
and Quincy have erected many fine
dcpots Mt various village stations and
also beautfied their grounds and paved
the approaches. In most cases the
street leading from the depot is in the
worst possible condition when it should.

Beating the Customs.

A party of Englshmen staying in
France went for n drive which extend
ell beyond the Italian frontier, where
they purchased Il basket of fruit. Up
on their return the revenue official
stopped the carriage and said the tax
must be paid for the fruit The Eng

still for awhile. Then, with the dis
gustcd official looking on, but unable
to interfere. they calmly and deliber-
