of Mind.

An italian expert In the art OF shining
shoes has been arrested In Atlantic City
for using fox terrier puppies as part
Of his polishing kit. Despite his pro-
test that the process did not hurt the
dogs, he was fined, and the luckless OBJ
jects OF his alleged cruelty taken from

Italian artist OF Atlantic City, seeking
to triumph over competition and i'm

ing, seized new idea and fox terrier
pup, simultaneously. The experiment
was success, the dog survived 1t, and
the demands OF trade necessitated the
employment OF several pups, In order to
avoid wearing out the original victim
The system involved clutching the dog
firmly by the neck and hind legs, and
drawing him to and fro across the ex-
panse OF leather. The italian martyr In
the conflict between progress and con-
servatism, said In his defense: mo

MODERN ANTIQUITIES.
Systematic Forgeries Practiced In

The quest for things antique has led
to systematic forgery and imitation on
the part Of dealers. Paris Is the great

the Nation. There has been discov-

A funny story is now current about
q collector of medieval things. A GER

the fifteenth century, and received for
his work some 1000 or 5000 francs.
The dealer shipped the chimneypiece
to Italy, and had 1t set up In a palace
near Venice, bringing back to Paris
photographs of the palace and Of the
chimneypiece in situ. BY means OF
these photographs he aroused the in

secretary to Venice to make sure
that the photographs did not lie, and
on his favorable report, bought the
thing for $4,000 francs. On the arrival
OF the article at his house in Paris he
sent for some workmen to open the

WAS TT DYSPEPSIA?
Extreme Thinness Symptom Scientific
Way by Which 1t Can be Cured.

Mi-O-na cures dyspepsia by the only
natural method of giving tone and
strength to the digestive organs,
soothing and healing the frritated and
inflamed conditions, and mingling
with the food SO that it is more easily
assimilated and digested.
Extreme thinness and emaciation is
one of the principal symptoms of in
digestion, but many of the following
symptoms are also in evidence:
Uneasiness at stomach, acidity,
waterbrash, splitting up of food, col
ic, sensation of weight or heaviness at
pit of stomach, sore mouth, constipa-
ton, sediment in urine, night sweats,
headache, cold hands and feet, pain
under shoulder blade, pain between
shoulders, confusion of mind, defects
of vision or hearing, fiatulency, heart
burn, nausea, gripes, coated tongue,
sour taste in the mouth. diarrhoea,
dry skin. nervousness. sick headache,
congestion of the head vertigo or diz-
illness, drowsiness, sleeplessness, pal
pitation of the heart
Mona will cure dyspepsia. a so
cent bottle will give strength and tone
TO the digestive organs and aid the
food to assimilate, while its continued
use for a reasonable length of time
will bring back natural weight and
restore health and strength
\ few days use of Mona will show
a marked gain in health and in a few
weeks the cure will be complete. This
is a strong statement, but T. III. Thorn
as emphasizes it by agreeing to re-
fund your money if Mi-o-na does not
do all that is claimed for it.

TIL. DEMONSTRATES ALL RISK
Says, If MI-O-na Fails to Make You Well. it
VIII Cost You Nothing.


You have nothing to lose when you
buy a package of Mona, the flesh
forming food and digestion regulator,
at T. H. Thomas reliable drug store.
He takes all the risk; you have moth
ing to lose.
If Mona does not give a natural
increase in flesh, cure dyspepsia and
restore health, he will refund the
money on your simple say so.
This remarkable preparation is a
true flesh-forming food that builds up
good, healthy, solid flesh and muscle,
and makes thinness and scrawniness
thing of the past. The price is only
so cents package, and it will cost
you nothing unless it gives perfect
satisfaction. Mi-o-na is the only flesh
forming food that is prepared in tab
let form and is pleasant and easy to
use. 1t mingles with the food you
eat, aids assimilation, tones up and
strengthens the digestive organs and
restores health to the whole physical
system.
The benefit from Mi -o-na is not
mere relief. 1t tones up and strength
ems the digestive organs and perma-
nent cures follow its use. The thin
and emaciated dyspeptic who uses Mi
o-na will have natural increase of
firm, solid flesh so that the outlines
become plump and pleasing.
Begin the use of Mona today at
T. II. Thomas risk, and if it increases
your weight and cures you Of indiges-
ton, it will cost you so cents. If it
does not, he will pay for the treat
ment himself and return your money
to you.

Zone Night in June" which appears
at the Illinois next Sunday, comes
strongly indorsed as one of the finest
attractions to be seen on the road
this season. 1t is a splendid study OF
New England life and true to nature.
1t is full of sentiment Of that appeal
ing quality which goes straight to the
heart. \ story of just plain people
engaged in the homely pursuits of
domesticity, but the events that are
unfolded in the course of the play
are of deep dramatic interest. The
characters Of the play have been
drawn with a firm, true hand by its
author. The scenes are at times re-
markably pathetic; then the next in
slant finds an abundance of mirth
and good humoT. There is the inter
esting love story of the village par
son and the village belle, which forms
the theme of this brilliant play. The
village gossip is amusingly depicted.
The country constable and his quaint
ways are accurately shown, while the
city people. who form the wicked ele-
ment of the piece, temper the quiet
tone of the typical country life drawn.
The cast of the play contains some of
the best known names in the dramat-
ic profession Notable among them
is the sterling young actress, Susette
Wiley. whose great success as star
for the past five seasons is well
known In the supporting company
are noted the names of William j.
