Reiff will Return to France.

Chicago, Ill Oct 9.-Jockey Johnny Reiff,
whose recent career on the American
turf has been anything but glorious. will
again ride in France next year if his
reinstatement by the French jockey club
does not niscarry. Reiff has already
signed a contract to ride in France and
has made his application for license. He
is anxious to go, for he has received
neither the money nor the applause here
that he gained while he rode abroad.
Several weeks ago Reiff received an Of
fer from a turfman, who is a member of
the French jockey club. The suppoSition
made unless the prospects for the rider S
reinstatement were good. That the French
are disposed to take him back is further
shown by the fact that he received an
offer from another French turfman- He
therefore signed contract and forwarded
his application for a license.
Reiff has not been satisfied with his
American experience this season. His rid
ing convinced American turf followers
that he did not compare with other riders,
regardless of his reputation abroad. Since
he was hit at Harlem his riding has been
anything but sl<illfuI and at times inconl-
petent.
A friend of the little rider claims that
he could have done better had he not
been afraid to take chances.
"Reih has known for weeks that he
had a chance to return to France, and
he has not been disposed to run any risks.
That accounts for his work on the turns.
Over there he can make more in presents
he receives than he can get here on a
salary. He isn't popular here, and he is
there, so you can't blame him for want
ing to leave the country.

YOU WILL BE ALL
SMILES AGAIN
Forget Your Stomach and You'H Have
a Santa Claus Face Always.
HOW TO DO 1T.

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give man a forlorn
and friendless appearance and make
him morbid and cranky and disagree
able, that thing is dyspepsia. It makes
one forget his friends and become mo-
rose and irritable. He is SO wrapped up
in his own misery that he is inconsid-
crate of every one else. Relieved of this
terrible and depressing ailment, he again
becomes a good fellow and man
among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the suf-
ferers of this terrible disease. The
thousands and thousands of cures they
have brought about and the enormous
increase of their sales fully attest the
truth of this statement.
They are. above all, natural rem
edy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids of the stomach
possess, and they actually do the diges-
tive work of the stomach and enable
that organ to rest and recuperate and
become sound and well. They act In d
mild natural manner and cause no dis
turbance in the digestive organs. They
prevent any fermentation of the food
which causes sour stomach In fact,
under their influence the subject forgets
that he has stomach and his resulting
cheerfulnesS presents great contrast
to his former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets are sold annually and they
are but in the dawn of their popularity
Every mail brings letters of thangsgiv-
ing from grateful ones who have been
cured of this terrible disease. The fol-
lowing is one of hundreds received eacn
week:

writes: For six years I have been

Manhattan College Football Team
Too Busy with Studies to Practice.

Manhattan. Kan, Oct. 9.-The mem
bers of the K. A. c. football team have
been considerably discouraged since
their defeat at the hands of Kansas
university last Saturday. They are rail-
lying again, however. the wounded hav-
ing practically recovered from their
bruises, and Coach Deitz expects to
have them in good shape to meet the
Kansas City Medics here tomorrow.
The fact is the boys of the Agricul-
tural college are too busy with their
class exercises to make f1rst-class foot
ball players. Not one of them is in any
sense q professional and every one of
them is taking a full assignment of col
lege work and meets with his classes
daily.
An enthusiastic mass meeting of the
students was held yesterday in order
to work up moral support for Satur-
