A LESSON OF A LIFE.

Our state exchanges came to us last
week with most favorable notices OF
the late j. Montgomery Smith. He
was widely known and deservedly
popular. Human frailties he had,
and who has not; m but he was man
who was loved, and Is mourned, by
the people. From childhood to man
hood, and In his advancing years, he
kept in close touch with his neighbors
and friends, and their companlonship
was his delight. We write not to add
TO the words OF praise which have
already been said Of him, but to
touch briefly upon n lesson. of his
life. He taught both by precept and
example that it was the duty OF the
citizen, always and everywhere, to
take an active interest in public af-
fairs. He attended the caucuses and
conventions Of his party, not only
because IT was to him II pleasure, but
from high sense Of duty. In turn,
he was honOrcd by his party associ-
atcs by being sent TO represent them
in the highest councils Of democracy.
He will be missed by many, and his
loss will be kcenly felt by his politl-
cal friends when they meet In caucus
and convention, where his presence
was nm inspiration and n hope. 1t can
be truly said of him, rs Col. Villas
recently said Of himself that he " was
never out Of politics" He acted upon
the belief that it was the duty Of tie
citizen to be in politics, and to aid to
the extent Of his ability In securing
the best government possible. lie
was, in fact, worthy citizen who did
his work manfully and we'll

One Merit of Golf,


"Yes, sir" exclaimed the enthusiast,
golf Is the best ever. 1t has dis
tinct domestic value that is not gener-
ally appreciated. We will suppose, for
example, that man has been Celebrat-
ing little too much, and he wishes to
round up and 70 home. Well. as pre-
liminary he goes to the golf links to
get exercise. You Will readily appre-
Clate that there are occasions when eX-
erciSe has n distinct and almost I'M
mediate value. Now, in practice golf
works out on the theory that the more
exercise man needs in these circum-
stances the more he gets. The more
uncertain he is in his drives the more
walking he has to do. and the effect is
decidedly beneficial. or course, there
may still be Il little something notice
able about him when he gets home, but
it is naturally attributed to the Scotch
highball he took because of his Weari-
ness ut the game"-Chicago Post

Some Of the Democratic editors are
looking to Judge Parker OF New York
as the best man to lead the forlorn
hope in 1904. His availability is found
in the fact that he is supremely mega
tive in his political record and his rer-
sonality. He was bora III 1852, and ad-
mitted to the bar in 1875. He was
delegate to Democratic national con-
vention in 1884, declined office of first
assistant postmaster general in 1885,
and was chairman Democratic state
executive committee of New York in
1885. For II years he has not been In
politics. In the campaigns of 1896 and
1900 he was silent and secure on the
bench. He is good lawyer, but politi-
cally he suggests nothing and Stands
for nothing. That is not the kind of a
man this country will elect in 1904.

The automobile is making the dus
fly in startling fashion along the road
way Of progress. 1t is proving muci
more than the fad of a season. and
the phenomenal growth of the in
dustry indicates that the horseless We
hicle is here to stay. Four years ago
it is claimed, there were fewer than sc
automobiles in the United States. AT
the present time conservative esti-
mate places the number of horseless
machines in use at 1000. Before the
end of 1903 a leading automobile manu-
facturer predicts there will be not less
than 10000 in this country. This may
be an overdrawn prediction but the
growing popularity of the automobile
in business and pleasure is not to be
denied. The growth of the industry
reminds one of the rapid and eX-
tensive development of the bicycle.
There will doubtless be reaction soon-
er or later. as there was with the
Gicycle, and yet both the automobile
and bicycle will remain with us and
the former will prove an even more
powerful factor than the latter in the
good roads movement.

AN OBJECT LESSON
In a Restaurant.

| A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large res
taurant at lunch or dinner time the
large number of hearty. vigorous old
men at the tables; men whose ages
run from GO to so years; many of them
bald and all perhaps gray, but none
of them feeble or senile?
| Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment. but nevertheless it is an OBJ
! ject lesson which means something.
| If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will OBJ
| serve that they are not munching
bran crackers nor gingerly picking
their way through a menu card of new
tangled health foods; on the contrary
they seem to prefer juicy roast of
beef, a properly turned loin of mutton
and even the deadly broiled lobster is
not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
| tion and plenty of wholesome food and
rot upon dieting and an endeavor to
live upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food cranKs
who seem to believe that meat, coffee
and many other good things are rank
poisoGs. but these cadaverous sickly
looking individuals are a walking con-
demnation of their own theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that if the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
juices in sufficient quantity any whole
some food will be promptly digested
II the stomach does not do so and GER
tain foods cause distress one or, two of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal will remove all difficulty because
they supply just what every weak
stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro -chloric
acid. diastase and nux
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon the bowels and in fact are not
strictly medicine, as they act al
most entirely upon the food eaten,
digesting it thoroughly and thus gives
q much needed rest and giving an ap-
petite for the next meal
OF people who travel nine out of fen
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets know
ing them to be perfectly safe to use AT
any time and also having found out by
experience that they are a safeguard
against indigestion in any form. and
eating as they have to, at all hours and
all kinds of food, the travelling public
for years have pinned their faith to
Stuart's Tablets /
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized packages and any druggist
from Maine 10 California, il his opinion
wer asked, will say that Stuarts
dyspepsia Tablets is the most popular
and successful remedy for any stomach
trouble. ian19-1A-16 :,
