INTERESTING EXPERIMENT IN y REsrAU-
RANT.
An advertising agent. representing a prominent
New York magazine. while western
trip. was dining evening In a Pittsburg restau-
rant
While waiting for his order he glanced over his
newspaper and noticed the advertisement Of we'll
known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. As he himself Il regular user of the
tablets he began speculating to how many Of
the other travelling in the dining room were
also friends of the popular remedy indigestion.
He says counted twenty-three at the ta-
bles, and In the hotel Office took the trouble to In
terview them, and surprised TO learn that nine
of the twenty-three made practice OF taking one
two Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal
One of them told me he had suffered much
from stomach trouble that at time he had been
obliged to quit the road. but since using Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets had been entirely free from indi
geston but he continued their use, especially while
travelling account of irregularity in meals and
because. like all travelling men, he often obliged
to eat what he could get and not always what he
wanted.
Another. who looked the picture of health said
he never ate meal without taking Stuart Tablet
afterward. because he could cat what he pleased
and when he pleased without fear of a sieepless
night any other trouble.
Still another used them because he subject to
gas on stomach. causing pressure on heart and
lungs. shortness Of breath and distress I'm chest,
which he no longer experienced since using the
tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
was the only safe remedy he had ever found for
sour stomach and acidity. He had formerly used
common soda to relieve the trouble. but the tablets
were much better and safer to use.
After smoking. drinking other excesses which
weaken the digestive organs nothing restores the

A Matter of Shoes.

The American Republic. as a
great producer of beef cattle and
other animals whose hides are con-
verted into leather, is without
doubt the greatest furnisher of
shoes and boots in the world.
Necessarily an enormous supply
of footwear is required to provide
the eighty million of the people of
the United States with boots and
shoes. Here in the beginning are
eighty million pairs to be made at
least every four months, since it is
likely that three pair for each per-
son will be required yearly. This
would make a total of 100000, 900
pairs to supply the home market
for year.
But American manufacturers
have begun to furnish shoes in
considerable quantities to foreign
countries. A report from the .Bu-
reau of Statistics of tn Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor
shows that in 1902 the United
States exported abroad nearly four
million pairs of boots and shoes.
OF these about one and one quart
er millions went to Europe, over
one half million to Australasia,
nearly one-half million to Mexico,
nearly one-half million to Cuba.
about 100000 to Canada, and
about 100000 to Africa.
1t was not until 1896 that the
expectation of boots and shoes
from the United States reached as
much as one million pairs. In 1903
they were over four million pairs.
valued at over $6.5OO,OOO. In all
manufactures of leather there has
been and is a continuous and rap
id growth in exports The total
value of leather aud its manufact-
ures exported in the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1908, was over
$3l ,OOO, 600, against $l2, 600, 600 in
the fiscal year 1893, IS. 100000 in
1883, and S., ,25O,OOO in 1873

appeal to the appellate court they

substance, that the contract with
a woman teacher should rightfully
terminate when she abandoned by
marriage the right to contract for
herself. One of the justices of
the appellate court dissented from

ChiCkamauga Park.

Washington, October 30.-In
his annual report of the Chicka.
mauga National Park Commits
sioner General III. V. Boynton
says that since the park has been
designated as national maneuver-
ing ground 1913 acres of additi onal
ground has been acquired, a part
of which has been chosen as per-
manent cavalry post. The ar
rangement of the post has not in
terfered with the making of the
additional tract. The general also
says: "lt is also matter of salts
faction to the commission that for
another year the practical use of
the park by the government has
continued by maintaining the field
camp of the Seventh Cavalry with
its limits. In view of the wild re-
ports of the unhealthfulness of the
park which gained currency dur
ing the war with Spain, it is prop
er to say that the health of the
soldiers camped there and of the
park force and it's laborers has
continued exceptionly good. The
water throughout the park has
proved excellent and an abundant
supply has been secured for the
encampments from flowing wells.

News is received here that the
unique case brought against the
Western Union Telegraph Com
pany by the heirs Of the late Ash
lev Cooke for $50, 900 damages, be-
cause of the alleged giving out of
a telegram by the company, re-
suited in favor of the Western
Union. The trial judge at Sena-
tobia, where the case was filed, af-
ter hearing the evidence, instruct
ed the jury to bring in a verdict
for nominal damages only. The
verdict was, therefore, for the
plaintiff, the amount of the recov-
cry, however, flied ut 81. and costs,
which was really equivalent TO
complete victory for the company.
The company was represented at
the trial by Judge Powell of this
city. The plaintiffs brought the
suit because they alleged that
telegram from Ihr. D9an, attorney
for Cooke, who had gone TO Mar
ragansett Pier to try TO get Justice
White of the Supreme Court to
grant writ of certiorari in the
case, thus taking the matter out of
the State courts, was divulged by
an agent of the company, to the
damage of Cooke. The telegram
in question stated that the Su-
preme Court justice refused to en-
tertain the application. The de-
fense of the company was that the
telegram was given out only to
friend of the Cooke family and
then only as a special fsvor to the
family.-Jackson special to New
