Is more common than we may think, If we define Gluttony as eating beyond the bOdy's need of sustenance and beyond the stoTacil's capacity for digestion and assimilation of food. That is a fair definition, and 1t fastcns the name glut- ton oil many person who would resent the term as an insult. The fact of this gluttonv is marked by its consequences. The overloaded stomach becomes dis eased. The popular term for the condi- tion is uweak stomach. The vweall " stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu- triton for the body, and soon the weak ness " spreads from the stomach to other organs.
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect assimilation of food, by which alone tl1e health and strength of the body is maintained.

A BROTHERS SONG.

The narrow path ! hardly keep
Already In the noontide heat
I faint, and see, my faltering feet
And trembling hands are SCARED ana torn
With fhistle's whip and sword of thorn.
Too soon shall pass my mete of time.
AS up the toisome height climb,
Where crags defy. and winds deride,
And foes assail on every side
The day is short, the night Is long.
No voice, no heart have 1 for song!"
Aye, brother, sing; there's one behind
who lists your voice. the path to find.
Sing lcud, and with his answering song
Your fainting courage shall grow strong!
Then rose voice so brave, SO clear
The laggard pilgrim joyed TO hear.
Light burst upon his .darkened sense.
Hope quickered thought, once dull and
dense.
The sulien stream and threatning rock.
That seemed his craven soul to mock,
Took up the blithefui. buoyant strain
And sang II Ger and o'er again,
Speeding the tardy footsteps on

And 10, glad, victorious throng,
Brought hither by brothers song!

THE pEpsIN HABIT.
Remedy for Indigestion Will
Result BADLY.

According to DR. Mckenzie, of st.
Louis, Mo-, there Is such thing as the
"pepsin habit" People take pepsin day
after day, until the stomach is made in
capable of producing pepsin. The pepsin
which the patient has swallowed has
taken the place of the natural pepsin of
the stomach. The food has been di-
gested in an artificial way, and the stom-
ach, finding itself excused from any fur
ther effort in this direction, quits the
business of making pcpsin altogether,
and becomes lazy, superfluous member
of the alimentary canal.
Perhaps this description carriers the
matter little too far, says Medical Talk,
but 1t serves to call attention to the fact
that to take pepsin continually. month
after month, and year after year, more
harm than good is done. This is also
true of any other remedy. There is no
remedy SO simple, no medicine so potent,
no dope SO beneficial, but that the con-
tinuous taking of it will produce con-
dition as bad, If not worse, than the con-
dition for which 1t was originally taken.

AN OLD BATTLE-GROUND.
Spot In the Far Northwest where
Indian Tribes Met and Fought
to the Death.

Where the great steel bridge of the
Northern Pacific railway spans the
Columbia river. half way between
Spokane and Seattle, Wash, and near
the confluence of the Snake and Column
bia rivers, says the Washington Star.
there was fought, 60 years ago, q battle
to the death between two Indian tribes,
probably the Cayuses and the Wallah-
wallahs or the Clahclellahs, which lat
ter tribe was a reckless and thieving
one.
The railway company has recently
completed great irrigating ditch rs
miles long and 20 feet wide that is turn
ing this valley adjacent to the west bank
of the Columbia from sage brush plain
into what few years hence will be an
orchard and garden spot 20 miles square,
with climate peculiarly adapted, it Is
said, to raising all sorts of vegetables,
berries, peaches, apples, Nums, cherries
and alfalfa. In the tearing up process
an old Indian battle-ground has been
found on the same spot where Lewis
and Clark, the pioneer explorers, pitched
their camp and from which they pushed
their way up stream to the mouth of
the Yakima river in the year 1906.
This is all historic ground, as at
later date Grant and Sheridan and other
army officers were stationed in this vi
cinity-Grant in 1898. Sheridan In
1866, both of them taking part in re-
pelling Indian uprisings. In this old
battle-ground, and first by means Of a
well, there were unearthed recently
skeletons, flint-lock rifles. Indian heads.
brass badges. bearing date of 1886.
broken hatchets, spear heads, elks'
teeth and a piece of cloth or mating
spun from threads of weeds or hemp
Everything went to show that this part
of the Kennewick valley was at one and
the same time an old Indian battle and
burying ground, as it is now known that
the Indians congregated here in great
numbers on account Of the mild climate.
especially during the winter months.
when the inclement weather of the high
er attitudes drove them into more hos
riteble regions.

Hydrophobia is treated in a highl,
original manner by Chinese doctors.
Two sandstone bottles half-filled with
wine or spirit are heated until the liquid
boils. The contents are then emptied
and the redhot mouth of the bottle is
applied to the bite and held there until 1t
is filed with blood, when the same pro-
cess is gone through with the other bot
tie. A dccoction is made of glutinous
rice, called kian-mi-ou-lou. in which
seven cantharides are boiled. The flies
are taken out and the rice is given to the
patient, who is to be kept quiet. The
celestials have no less than Is kinds OF
cough--the cough from cold, damp, heat,
grief, anger. fatigue, indigestion, the
obstinate cough, the night cough being
among them. Before a limb is ampu-
tated the member is dried up by exposure
TO the sun.

FARM ELECTRIC POWER.
Its Use Not Likely to Become Gen-
eral in the Immediate
Future.

The possibility of a vast and a. yet
almost wholly undeveloped field for
electricity is suggested by the Electric
Review In an editorial on electric power
for farm work. That there is not much
In the present outlook to encourage
hope for the general use of electricity
for cultivating does not preclude its ul-
innate successful application to that
class of work. and the accomplishment
of that end would mean field for de-
velopment compared to which all other
avenues of growth would be dwarfed.
says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The Review points out the reasons for
the failure to adopt this convenient and
flexible power. except In rare instan-
ces on very large farms, and they may
be very briefly stated. The first and
chief reason is that electrically driven
machinery suitable to farm work has
not yet been invented. The motor We
hicle is cumbersome and expensive and
not adapted to work on rough ground,
and as yet no power machine has been
contrived which is adapted both to sta
tionary work-about the house and
barns-and to ficld work.
Such of the machinery of the day az
might be conveniently used in the busy
season on the farm would lie idle during
q large part of the year and the invest
ment required would be beyond tho
means of the average farmer. At pres
ent another dificulty-eyen II suitable
machinery could be obtained-lies In
the distance of power stations from the
great majority of farms. The latter are
usually located in villages and are not
In position or equipped to distribute
power In small quantities over a largo
area.
In the development Of the so called
''trackless trolley" the Review sees
possible means of encouraging the use
Of electricity on farms. The trackIess
trolley is an electrically equipped We
hicle which takes its power from two
overhead circuits and will run along or
dinary roads. 1t is suggested that were
all turnpikes equipped with these troll
ley wires properly equipped vehicles
might be used to do large part OF or
binary farm work much more easily
and at less cost than 1t is now done.
The difficulties to be overcome makes
the electrically worked farm appear
utopian dream, and yet 1t is by no
means an impossibility. A light, pow
erful, portable. cheap motor adapted
for attachment to more than one kind
Of vehicle or machine would solve the
problem. The machinery to do the
work would rot be difficult TO design.
and power supply from central stations
would quickly follow the perfection Of
electric farm machinery. It may come.
and II it does farm work will be revo-
lutionized. The drudgery Of 1t will be
over.

SPOILED HIS ALIBI.
Defendant Handled His Own Case
and Made q Very Bad
Mess of 1t.

It was out in the far west. John Con-
nor had just received a missive summon
ing him before the local judicial lumi-
nary for assaulting one Pete Haynes.
He was-in Quandary, and. being SO,
thought he would consult Mr.. Tirreil,
the only lawyer the district couid boast
of. Fortunately the man of law was at
home. but, unfortunately, he had to act
in an important case at town some dis
tance away on the day when Mr.. Connor
would be arraigned.
"Butwhat am to do, SURF" John plead
ingly asks.
prove an alibi. man." Mr.. Tirrell
says, curtly.
"An Alley Boy. SURF"
"Yes, show that you were at some 9TH
Or place when the assault took place"
After racking his brains, which (not
being overburdened In that respecD
did not take very long. John thinks he
can manage it. He has mate in dis
tant settlement who. he says. will stand
by him. The lawyer tells him that for
mality is one of the essentials to success;
and having impaired to him instructions
as to how he is to proceed, SO as to appear
most impressive at the hearing OF the
case. John takes his departure with a
much lighter heart.
The eventful day arrives. The evil
dence for the prosecution, which seems
absolutely conclusive, has terminated.
and all eyes are fixed on John. Slowly
and solemnly he rises. striving to COM
bine an air of injured innocence with
that of dignifed unconcern, and In an
impressive voice says:
Call Ted Lane!"
A rough, uncouth figure. who was
dreamily looking at the bald head of the
dispenser of justice. rose from seat
next to John himself. and took the oath.
John. having managed to get proper hold
of his voice, commences:
Your name is"

"About so miles, sor."
