THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di.
gested-some Stomachs Must
Have Help

Food taken into the stomach
which, from the nature Of the food
or the condition Of the stomach is
not digested. is worse than no food at
all This is a true statement as far
as it goes and a great many dyspep
tics go only this far with their rea
soning. They argue with themselves
that because their stomachs do not
do the work given them they must
be given less work; in other words
they must be starved. 1t would be
just as sensible for a business man
who is unable to do all his own work
to cut down his business to his own
capacity as it is for a man to starve
himself to relieve his stomach. The
sensible business man employs help
and goes forward with his business
Likewise the sensible dyspeptic will
employ help for his stomach and give
his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and over burdened stom.
achs OF a great portion of digestive
action. Their component parts are
Identical with those Of the digestive
fluids and secretions OF the stomach
and they simply take up the grind
and carry on the work just the same
as good, strong, healthy stomach
would do It.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance

minutes he stood thus, half dazed and
half crazed.
There seemed to be no one alive on
board. Man after man, it seemed from
the awful sight before him, the officers
and crews of the boat, were wiped out
of the world of the living. with the
deadly fire which he himself had been
keeping up on the hapless boat. Taro
took a step or two ahead.
Then above the crash and roar of
guns, he heard the sound as of man
rushing out to meet him from a dark
corner of the boat. AS he turned quick
ly, sure enough there was a huge Rus
sian making for him with the reck-
lessness and dash of a wounded bear.

AS WAS SPOKEN BY THE OODS~


STKEDA TARO rushed in to take
H their place. ''Give them all they
b want" he heard the voice from
the bridge say in a leisurely and half
laughing way; yes, all they want, and
a little more for good measured" The
end of this genial sentence of the COM
nander was blown off by a shot which
treated the steam pipe of the Akatsuki
unkindly.
There was a great Kissing of steam,
and four stokers accompanied the
broken steampipe on the long journey
to the home of the dead. Taro had no
eye for any such choice sight, however.
He worked the quick firer like de-
mon. With all that he could not help
hearing the cries of pain and agony
about him.
Suddenly, there was a crash. His
boat was rubbing against a Russian
destroyer. Quick as a fash he rushed
TO the edge of the boat, gathered him
self into a ball and the next moment
found himself aboard the Steregschtchi.
His foot struck upon the side of a
head almost floating in a pool Of blood.
He slipped and fell heavily. 1t was a
mercy that he could not see himself as
he quickly rose out of the bloody stew.
But then, at his feet. and all about him
was a sight the like of which his mag
ination never had been able to paint.
Broken fragments of shells mingled with
the torn flesh of the brave fellows who
fell, and his eyes started from their

way and planted all the mines they
wished.
Meanwhile another hotilla of Nippon
torpedo boats was making its way from
the direction of Pigeon Bay.
at half-past four, in the Liao-ti-shan
channel, it came suddenly upon a Rus
sian fiotiIla of six destroyers. They
closed in, and in the merriest way pos
sible they resurrected the traditions of
Nelson's days. Thirty minutes of fierce.
close-range fight took place. But of this
the Akatsuki and her comrades knew
nothing. The din of the forts above
their heads quite filled their ears, so
that they could not hear the nose of
the bloody struggle to the south, off
the Liao-ti-shan lighthouse.
Two of the destroyers escaped from
the hand TO hand fight. and made for
the entrance Of Port Arthur. They came
upon the Nippon destroyers, engaged in
the peaceful work of sinking the mines,
like ghosts out of stormy waves.
Ikeda Taro saw the two Russian de-
stroyers swell out of the haze from the
south, against the pale gllmmer of the
break of day. The Akatsuki shot for
ward full sped and made for the Rus
sian. The Kasumi, the Asashio, the
Sasanami and the rest of the fiotilla
heeled her.
An unceremonious Russian shot swept
a couple of gunners from the quick firer
aboard the Akatsuki.

1T may be a folly of mine, but I
almost believe that fire horses who are

their wounds. There is that handsome
chestnut over there in the ward to the
right. He is nicknamed Dutch, but his
real name is his number, which is I322.
He belongs with Four engine, and that
wound on his leg was received through
dashing upon the sidewalk and into a
plate glass window in preference to
running down a party of young school
girls in the street as he rounded corner
in a hot run to a fire downtown near
Maiden lane the other day.
I'VE have to tie Dutch's head up in

bandages with his teeth.

away toward Fourteenth street, where
the other apparatus was gathering.
A policeman ran out and swung his
club and arms. The white runner paid
no attention to MIN and nearly ran him
down. There was not a sign of excite
ment in his bearing. He was not run

through the crowd around the scene of
the fire the milk wagon plowed its way
and came to a full stop at the corner

recognized by the firemen, who shouted:

kick passed into history. And the Rus

shot boiling and heavy breathing sea

the same, somehow, he did not know
the reason why, the story which his
grandmother used to tell him Of the
ancient ancestoress of the family of
Ikeda kept on coming into his mind.
Once again. in the din and storm OF

Historic

-HERE has come into the New
York market through the medi-
UNI Of the auction room a unique
piece OF furniture. It Is the
chair used by Daniel Webster
Oh the floor OF the United States Sen
ate. It is valued very highly by collec-
tors, for from 1t Webster arose to make
his famous reply TO Haynes, and from
it he sprang time and again to defend
the Union and confound the advocates
Of disruption.
Indeed. Webster is said to have as
cribed much of his power to the sooth-
ing influence of its comfortable springs
and upholstered arms. At one time he
is quoted as saying. in a moment Of en-
thusiasm, that for only one chair in the
whole world-that OK the President of
the United States-would he exchange
his Senate bench. The chair was later
used by Representative Stevens in the
House Of Representatives. and it is a
present member Of the Stevens family.
George Stevens Of Philadelphia, who
places it on the market
The chair is of black walnut, uphols-
tered in dark red plush. 1t is in a fine
state Of preservation, almost wonderful
considering its long and historic usage.
1t is at present on exhibition in a New
York auction room on Third avenue, and

1t was from this chair that Webster
uttered those famous words in his
speech on Foote'S resolution, January
&c. 1890:
When my eyes shall be turned to be-
hold for the last time the sun in heaven,
may not see him shining on the brok-
en- and dishonored fragments OF once

And in his speech Of June g. 1894.
