said:
Il would give anything to see a
river which had got lost. If I were a
boy, I would set out this very night
and travel until 1 had found the
place."
But it is a long, long ways" re-
piled Hans.
THAT would make no difference. In
travelling a long ways one would see
many curious sights and meet with
strange adventures
Hans said no more, but got up and
put his hands into his pockets and
walked home. The words spoken by
the girl had put a new idea in his
mind. For two days he kept up
great thinking, and he was so stupid

Dyspepsia.
Ry J. w. MULLER.

King Sourgloomer the First was like
most kings. He didn't have half as
much fun as other people thought he
was having.
This was partly because fun isn't
the kind of thing you can have unless
you are built that way; and sometimes
g tramp is better built in this respect
than a King.
Also, it is very depressing to have to
be a King all the time and look ma
jestic, even when a pain in your toe
makes you want to look respondent.
For these reasons, King Sourgloomer
the First found it necessary TO go to

at them, and swan off as happy as
could be.
When the monkeys found out what
mistake they had made, they were
very much disappointed, and began to
wonder how they could get hold of
Ca Boo-ug again. But they could not
swim, and so they decided that the
only thing to do was to drink up the
pond.
SO they all began to drink the water
out of the pond. and, of course, they
all swelled up and burst-and that was
the end of the monkeys.
When Ca Boo-ug saw what had hap
pened he crawled up on the bank
again, where he had everything to
himself, and lived happily ever after.

suddenly enters a great hole in the
cliffs and is to be found no more.
People have searched and searched,
but there is no trace of it beyond the
cliffs. Wouldn't you call that lost
river?"
why, yes, it would seem so; but
perhaps the man was only talking to
make fool of you. If it was the
truth, however, it still is nothing to
me. If a river gets lost it must find
itself again without any of my help.

"Oh, l am sure the man was telling
the truth, all right" said the captain;

The idea Of indoor ranges for public
schools will appeal 10 the boys, but
may, at first, alarm the parents. The

lishment Of ranges in schools where
boys OF fifteen years and upwards can
be taught 10 shoot with the govern
nient rifle and gallery ammunition. On
second thought most parents will
agree they would rather have their

public press at tho time that he was
TO be operated upon for said disease
IN New York city, The story has II
that the physicians who attended 81,
Thomas Upton agreed that he had ap.
pendlciIts. There was some hesita.
tion about operating upon him. partly
owing TO his condition of health. and
partly to the worldwide attention
that would be attracted TO the sub.
ject In case Of failure.
A distinguished surgeon was called
In consultation, and be made a most
extraordinary proposition. He sug.
gested that before an operation be
attempted that they try an injection
INTO the colon OF equal parts OF com
mon %nolasses and milk. These were
heated TO a temperature of 100 de-
grees y. or about the same tempera.
tufe as the human body, A pint and
a half of milk. added to a pint and a
hair of molasses. constituted the
whole injection.
This, by means Of a flexible tube
was To be Injected into the colon.
high up, The injection IA supposed to
traverse the colon and reach the
eaecum. which Is that portion of the
colon where the yermiform appendix
is situated.
The astonished physicians in
charge finally consented to try this
remedy. The Injection was given and
Immediately there passed away a
accumulation Of decomposed
