S POOR
STOMACH

The worn out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in
the public prints as horrible ex-
ample Of the evil attendant on the
possession of great wealth. But
millionaires are not the only ones
who are afflicted with bad stomachs.
The portion is far greater among
the tailors. Dyspepsia and indiges-
ton are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse tor
lures than the millionaire unless
they avail themselves of a standard
medicine like Green's August
Flower, which has been a favorite
household remedy, for all stomach
troubles for over thirty years. Au-
gust Flower rouses the torpid liver,
thus creating appetite and insuring
perfect digestion. 1t tones and Wit

life worth living, no matter what

A NInetccnth Century M.r,yr.

A touching story OF the early days of
the mutiny is told OF the Allahabad
massacre. Seven cadets just out from
England were murdered before they
had time TO join their regiments. The
eighth, boy OF sixteen, was left for
dead, but survived in spite OF horrible
wounds, for four days hiding himself
In ravine. On the fifth day he was
discovered, dragged 20 the native lines
and thrust into a hut as a prisoner.
He found there Christian catechist
who had been formerly Mohammedan
and who was being tortured by the
sepoys to make him renounce his faith.
The catechist's courage had given way,
but the gallant English lad-himself on
~ sixteen years OF age-urged the
unhappy catechist: Don't deny Christ!
Never deny Christi Neiii reached AL
lahabad in time to rescue both cate
chist and ensign. But the ensign. Ar
thur Check, died or his wounds four
days after Neilrs arrival.-From 1.-The
Great Mutiny."

One of England's superstitions.

Among the many quaint supersti-
tons which have survived I'm rural
England are some interesting tradi-
tons about the building Of the oldest
churches. The story goes that they
were originally intended by the me-
dtaeval builders to be erected on other
sites, but the stones being persistently
removed during -sie nighttime by de-
mons to the situations thSy at present
occupy the builders projected with
their ereettofss on the sites thus svs1er-
naturally selected and were not fuY-
theT interfered with Though many Old
relics, such as STONE ooffihs and no
man affairs, have been used By thrifty
farmers for drinking troughs, buttery
stones and such like purposes, they
have not been desecrated with impuni-
", and many a stone has been taken
back 70 the place whence It came In
order to get rid OF ghostly visitations.
In Longridge, near Preston, In Ian
cashtre, there is a lane called Writ
ten Stone lane, from an inscribed stone
which has lain there for a great num-
Der OF years and which none Of the
villagers care to move. 1t is about
eight feet long. two feet wide and
eighteen inches deep and bears on II
the following inscription In deeply in
cised characters: Ralph Radcliffe laid
this stone to lie forever, A. ID. 1855"
Why Ralph Radcliffe laid this stone
no one now knows, but 1t is regarded
with mysterious awe by the inhab-
itants.
