MILLION AIRES POOR
STOMACH

The worn out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in
the public prints as horrible ex-
ample Of the evil attendant on the
possession of great wealth. But
millionaires are not the only ones
who are afflicted with bad stomachs.
The portion is far greater among
the tailors. Dyspepsia and indiges-
ton are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse tor
lures than the millionaire unless
they avail themselves of a standard
medicine like Green's August
Flower, which has been a favorite
household remedy, for all stomach
troubles for over thirty years. Au-
gust Flower rouses the torpid liver,
thus creating appetite and insuring
perfect digestion. 1t tones and Wit
alizes the entire system, and makes
life worth living, no matter what
your station. Trial, bottles 25c,
regular size 75c.

LAS DOS HERMAMAS
DEL PAPA

La election del cardenal Sarto,
para suceder en- ell Trono ponti-
6cio al inolvidable Leon XIII,
ha sacado de la obscuridad, DON
de vivian muy felices, q dos
buenas y sencillisimas mujeres,
cuya apacible existencia viene
a turbar Ell memorable aconteci-
miento.
Son las hermanas del nuevo
Papa, las que crecieron al lado
del que hoy sc llama Pho x V,
permaneciendo solteras, consa-
graron al hermano querido sus
desvelos y sus afanes.
ALA en- la lejana infancia,
cuando vivian en- el nido de la
familia, compartieron con el sus
juegos, y cuando la vocacion le
llevo a el al estado eclesiastico
y lie nombraron parroso de mo-
desta aldea, las dos lie siguieron
para cuidar de su persona y de
su casa, dandO al hOgar del Cura
la apacible calma, la dulce tran
quilidad, ell bienestar y ell sosie-
go que solo puede proporcionar
la mujer inspirada por ell carino.
Ell afecto de la hermana no es|
quiza tan intense; pero es mas
deSinteresadO que Ell de la eSpO-
sa. Seghn las biografias que
hoy Sc publican de Pic X, su vi
da ha sido muy sencilla Y muy
feliz, y a esta dicha han contri-
buido mucho sus hermanas.
Elias recosieron su modesto
sotana de cura pobre; elias ad-
ministraron los modestos suel-
dos y le prepararon los alimen-
tos gratOs y sanos, que Sc SER
Wan en- su humilde mesa.
Cuando fue e1evadoa a obispo,
or nero, y a patriarca de Vene-
;ia, despues, elias le siguieron,
in tomar nj la mas pequena
rte en- las grandeZas y sin
cambiar apenas su traje de al
deanas.
Elias no eran, 10 mismo en- la
modesto rector1a della aldea, que
en- el suntuoso palacio de Vene-
ca, NADIA mas que las hermanas
de su Bebbo, al lado del cual ha-
bian lido pasando los a1os.
Y ahora los separan a los tres
viejecitos. A el le lleva su nue.
va y suprema dignidad a ocupar
Ell primer puesto en- Ell Vaticano;
y como en- la morada de los Pa
pas no pueden habitar mujeres,
las dos hermanas habitaran en-
TN convento de Roma, desde
donde Sc las permitira ir del
en- cuando a besar la
mano del jefe de la Iglesia, de
aquel Beb60 con ell que jugaron
de peque1uelas, de aquel cura
de aldea cuyas rafdas sotanas
recOsieron.
Y el estara servido por mon
senores y por mobiles, cuyos cui-
dados no podran suplir los de las
dos viejecitas, que tan bien sa
bian sazonar los manjares que a
81 le gustaban tanto y que tan
morosamente le asistian cuan-
do eStaba enfermO.
iCuantas veces, elias en- su
y 81 en- su pal lcio, re-
negaran de. las grandezas queI
les han separado en- los ultimos
aflOs de su vida!
