A REED SHAKEN
WITH THE WIND
Without Will Power, Courage, Ambi-
ton, Energy or Hope, the Dys-
peptic Is Willing to Give
Up the Struggle.

The confirmed dyspeptic has as lit.
tie interest in life as any human being.
He is untitled for it's duties and is IN
different to it's charms. He is unable
to enjoy the business and social rela-
tions that constitute the life of the
average man. ALI his hopes are alb
sorbed by the one hope to get we'll
and again be able to enjoy the good
things of life. Until this is realized,
he is sick at heart and feels himself
to be of little use. 4
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
sufferers tree of life. They will cure
him and bring him health and happi-
ness just as sure and certain as he
takes them. They are sure because
they are natural and no other cure
but natural one is sure. They act
on the food and digest it just as we'll
as a stomach would. They contain
exactly the same chemical properties
as the digestive fluids of the stomach.
BY putting Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets in bottle or jar with any kind
of food: meat, eggs or vegetables with
sufficient amount of water, the process
of digestion is carried out just as it is
in a healthy human stomach and in the
same time. There is consequently no
unnatural disturbance: of the digestive
organs resulting from the use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They re-
lieve the weak and Worn-Out stomach
of it's work and permit it to rest up
and recuperate and regain it's normal
health and strength.
A well-known Buffalo physician
says: Il prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets on all occasions as a relief for
weakened and rundown stomachs.
find they contain all the ingredients
necessary for the proper digestion OF
the food and will do more to give the
stomach the needed rest than any
medicine ! could prescribe. They
have never failed to give immediate
relief in all my cases and [ do not
hesitate to recommend them to all suf-
ferers from dyspepsia
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at SO cents q

WOMEN LAWYERS DEBARRED
House of Lords Decides Against Miss
cavo, Appealing from Grays
inn Benchers

London, Dec. 2.-The house of lords has
finally decided that. women are. debarred
by their sex from becoming qualified law
yers in this country. The question arose
on the appeal of a Londoner, Miss Bertha
Cavo against the decision of the benchers
of Gray's Inn, not to admit her as stu
dent for the purpose Of being called to the
bar. The court decided that there was
no precedent for a wornan's admission to
the Inn Of Court and no reason to create
a precedent The benchers, assert that the
statutes of Gray's Inn, ignore women so
absolutely as to leave them no power to
admit a woman.

Greet Cars in Europe.

"The paper read by John P. Fox Of Boston recently on the methods of local transportation in the cities of Europe, is one which deserves the careful consider alton of the managers of OUT electric railways, as well as that of their pa trons," said Boston man. MT. FOX maintains that the transportation racil- ities which our street cars afford aould be increased nearly 100 per cent If we adopted the foreign method of having doubled decked instead of single-decked cars. Those who have visited Europe since the general introduction of cleo tricity as motive power hardly need to be told that the two-story cars are almost universally in use there
 "In some instances, as MT. Fox has shown, the upper deck is roofed over, but in most instances this upper part is open to the air, the seats running across the car as in our steam cars, with room for two on each side of the pas sageway in the centre. This upper deck is easily reached by a semicircular stair way and in pleasant weather many more passengers ride on top than go inside.
 "The use of double-decked cars has been common in Europe since the first in troduction of tracks in the street upon which cars could be run; but a restriction had to be placed upon their weight in consequence of the limit of traction pow CT which could be obtained from pair of horses. The introduction of electricity has set aside this objection, and the street cars now in use in the English cities are not only built in much more attractive style than those which they have superseded, but are also reasonably long and apparently quite as heavy as the street cars of the same length used in this country"

Canal and Politics.

President Roosevelt does not ignore the plain terms of the Spooner law by accident or by pressure of other busi- ness. He violates that law with a full knowledge of it's terms.
 All that Is known is, the railroad lobby that defeated the Hay-Herran treaty at Bogota has returned to Wash ington flushed with victory, and ready to dicker for more delay. It does not care on what ground delay is procured. At present it says the Nicaragua route should not be hurriedly selected, but that time should be taken in which to reopen negotiations with the Colon. bian congress, which body it can buy at any time. The programme of the railroad lobby is so transparent it will deceive none except those who prefer to be deceived.
 The truth is, Mark Hanna and the republican party want no such canal legislation until campaign funds are made up next year. The business is in fine shape to wiring millions out of the Pacific railroads. and this is why the action under the plain and manda- tory terms of the Spooner act is de- layed. The republican party is taking advantage of the phrase, "a reasonable time," to gather millions for its cam paign funds. This IS the long and short of it, its breadth and depth and entire scope.
 Congress is controlled by Mark Hanna and his co-workers in both branches Wall street will not contrib ute the republican campaign fund if MT. Roosevelt is nominated; the Pacific railroads will if action under the Spooner law is delayed year, and this is just what the country may ex- pect. Money rules this country, not the people. The latter are now but puppets of capital, ana the Pacific rail- roads have got the long green" for 1 the occasion.

BROOKLYN CORRESPONDS GO.

From the New York Sun.
 It was for many years a familiar say ing in Brooklyn that "till consolidation comes the cobblestones would not go." This saying has come true.
 At the time of consolidation, January 1, 1898. Brooklyn had 515 miles of paved streets Of these 26l miles were paved with cobbles There were no miles of granite pavement. 59 miles of macadam- ized roadway, A miles of Belgian block, SS miles of asphalt and 1 mile of brick pavement There were a few yards of wooden pavement remaining and a few feet of sandstone.
 During the four years since consolida- ton in 1898 to 1901 40 miles of pavement were laid. Since January 1, 1902, 120 miles have been laid.
 There are now ITS miles of cobblestone at the period of consolidation. There is an increase of IS miles in granite pave ment, of 30 miles in macadamzed pave ment. Where there was at the tine of consolidation 3S miles of asphalt pave ment in Brooklyn there are now 136 miles a gain of nearly 1Oo
 Practically, since consolidation the amount of cobblestone pavement in Brooklyn has been reduced to 100 miles, and the amount of asphalt pavement has been increased 100 miles, It is a good ex- change as every resident of sojourner in or visitor to, Brooklyn will agree.

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON
 THE PROFITS OF AUTHORS

stationed at Halifex, told me that after he had offered "A Fools Errand." on which story his literary repute depends, to every leading publisher in the country and had received the MS back, he pub lished it himself and won the money he subsequently, lost in an ambitious mag azine venture in Philadelphia. Says Rud- yard Kipling. in writing about the first appearance in India of his Departmental Ditties': "A sub-editor is not hired to write verses; he is paid to sub-edit." And he adds: "The ratio of expenses to profits as I remember 1t, has since prevented my injuring my health by sympathizing with publishers who talk of their risk and ad- vertisements."
 The Independence of the author" to which Sir Walter Besant alluded, is that good and rare thing known to such men as our own Prescott, the afflicted his torian or, in a smaller way Lowell and Longfelow and Irving-all born into g sufficient competence. And yet the last three sought, as did Hawthorne, Bret Harte, w. D. Howells and dozen others. missions abroad which proved more prof itable than the mere profession of letters. There are, of course, resources in author ship, such as the writing of subscription books. which yield well. But they are not only an uncertain and fugitive quantity; they do not savor of literature.
 There remains the journalistic and wid- CT field in which writing now shows to advantage. It may not seem so big & thing to write an impersonal article for a newspaper as to have ones name on the title-page of a book; but the article Is paid for and reaches a multitude; the book is more than likely to get just as far as the nearest secondhand stall.
