SOME WOMEN
WOULD RATHER DIE
Than Suffer Humiliation Which Dys-
pepsia Brings.

Nothing Is more humiliating to a sensi-
tive woman than dyspepsia. Even at the
dinner table, bitter fluid and half d.
gested food rise in her throat.
After time the solicitude and SYM
pathy of her friends become disgust.
Equally annoying is the necessity Of
declining first one article of food after
another because they do not agree with
her.
Now there is hope for every sufferer.
If Mrs. Killington, whose letter follows,
could be cured, there is no reason why
any woman should continue to suffer.

How Dnlzac Worked.

In twelve years Balzac wrote seven
ty-nine novels besides an abundance of
tales and newspaper articles. When in
full swing he led the life of recluse,
refusing to see even his most intimate
friends. He usually went to bed at 8
o'clock, after q light dinner, and got
up at in the morning to resume writ
ing. At q he took his tub, lying in the
water one hour, after which he drank
cup of coffee. Verdict, his editor, was
then admitted to bring proofs take
away corrected ones and wrest, if pos
sible, fresh manuscript from him. From
8 he wrote till noon, when he break
tasted on two boiled eggs and some
bread. From 1 to 6 he continued his
writing. For six weeks or so he would
keep this up; then he would mysterious
ly disappear for months.

Desert WATER Trails.

Countless men and women have per
ished In the deserts of the southwest
for lack OF rain. Yet had they known
how to find IL the water was there,
often so close that shallow well
would have brought it. says the author
of "The Land Of Little Rain" There
were numberless living things all about
them, night travelling creatures, whose
well worn trails would have led them
to it, Tie trails begin far back in the
scattering sands and hills and converge
in one span broad, white, hard trod-
den way in the gully of the spring, and
why trails if there are no travellers in
that direction?
The land is Scared by these thin, far
roadways of rabbits and what not OF
furry folk that run in them. Venture
to look for some seldom touched water
hole. and so long as the trails run with
your general direction you can be sure
you are right. But If they begin to
cross your path ut never so slight an
spgle to converge toward point to
the left or right of your objective, no
matter what the map says or your
memory tells you, trust the trails. Their
makers know.

A Friend of Washington.

While many persons have known
Lincoln and Grant and few were ac-
quainted with Washington and Lin
coin, so far as l am aware but one per-
son was ever born into this world who
knew the triumvirate of luncrowned
American kings. That individual was
Horace Binney, leader of the Phlladel-
phia bar and among the foremost lead
ers of the profession throughout the
land, with whom l spent memorable
hour in the year 1874. During that &C.
lightful interview he stated that when
youth his home was near President
Washington's Philadelphia residence
that he had met him almost daily for
several years and that he frequently
held conversations with the general.
Mr.. Binney also mentioned the inter-
esting fact that he had been acquaint-
ed with every president Of the United
States up to the time of Grant, dur
ing whose second administration he
passed away at the great age Of nine
ty-flve.-General James Grant Wilson

Maddening Silence.

In the rainless interior of Australia
there is very little animal or bird life,
and what birds there are are voiceless
This absence Of singing birds renders
the bush almost rs silent as the grave.
This deathlike silence has q peculiar
depressing effect. If two men are
camped in the bush and one of them
goes to a distant township to get pro-
visions while the other remains behind
to look after the camp, the man who is
to remain says to his mate, Don't you
be long away; you know what kind Of
a place this is to live in by yourself"
If his mate is away for two or three
days the silence gets upon the mans
nerves, and in the end he shouts in or
der to make noise and then he is
afraid of the sound of his own voice.

FORGED HUSBANDS NAME.
Farmers Wife Near Adrian Played a
Unique Game.

Adrian, Mich, Nov 22.-An odd case
has come to light here within the last
two weeks. A short time ago Samuel
Bryant, well-to-do farmer of Dover
township, published in local papers a
notice to the effect that no one was
to let his wife, Helen Bryant, have
money or goods, nor accept paper from
her with his signature without first
seeing him personally. The next day
after the notice first appeared Mrs.
Bryant drove to Clayton, where she
left the rig in care of friend while
she boarded the westbound train, and
has not been seen since.
Mr.. Bryant says he and his wife
had lived together for thirty-seven
years, and during the first twenty-five
years she was all that model wife
could be. Since 1892, he says, she
has forged his name to notes, Of which
the sum of those he has already paid
aggregate more than $4,000.
She would go to some Of Mr..
Bryant's friends and ask for loan,
promising in return to give Mr..
Bryant's note. She then would return
on second day, bringing note upon
which his signature had been forged,
and secure the money. .

Sec. Taft Sails For Panama.

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 23.-Secretary
Taft and his party arrived here at
1880 Tuesday morning on the Dolphin
from New Orleans. They sailed for
Panama at noon on the Columbia. The
secretary was met by committee Of
Pensacola citizens representing the To-
cal chamber of commerce. The inten-
ton was to give him view of the har-
Dor and shipping facilities, but his
hurried departure prevented this ex.
cursion. Secretary Taft was accom-
panied by Mrs. Taft. With him on the
Columbia are Admiral Walker, Senior
Obaldia, the Panaman minister. and
Mr.. Cromwell. The Dolphin took the
rest of the party. On account Of the
slow speed of the Dolphin, it is expect
ed five days will lie required to reach
Colon. ~

MCKINLEY MEMORIAL.
Plans Presented by Architect Mccon.
IDLE Are Ratified.

IgIe Are Ratified.
New York, Nov. 23.-The national
trustees of the Mckinley Memorial as
ISOLATION, who have in their charge
the erection Of the Mckinley monu.
ment in Canton, o., met here Tuesday
and viewed the design presented by
the official architect. H. Van Buren,
McGonigle. The appointment of the
architect was ratified by the commit
tee, after which the plans were
infinitely inspected.
At the close of the meeting it was
stated that the sum needed had not
been raised and that changes which
may be necessary will be made for
financial rather than artistic reasons.
The drawings are said to show a
massive structure, unlike either the
Grant monument in New York or the
Garfield monument in Cleveland. It's
situation on the top Of hill renders a
beautiful approach possible, and the
opportunities offered gave the archi-
tect an idea which, 1t is said, would
require more money than the trustees
have in hand. They have now about
$550,000 and need about $4,000 more
to carry out the plans as they wish.
The design will not be disclosed to
view until it has been completely and
finally accepted.

der of Natoli Selefani, whose body was
found In Lake Michigan fortnight
ago, failed to secure the desired re-
suit; but it is thought that a confess
sion may follow later. The procedure
was as follows:
The body of Selefani, which had
been buried in Mount Carmel ceme-
terry, was exhumed, carried to a vault
and placed in sitting posture. The
right arm and hand were propped up
in such manner that the index finger
pointed directly at the fact of any per-
son entering the vault. The attitude
Of the body was made as nearly as pos
sible like that which would be as
stunned by e person saying: "You are

Charles Benzie and Joyce Toppin, a
colored porter of a saloon in which
Selefani passed considerable time on
the day Of his death. One by one he
caused them to confront the accusing
finger of the dead man and watched
for sign of nervous collapse. Benzie
and Bell went through the ordeal with
out exhibiting trace Of emotion. The
colored porter was badly frightened,
but he did not reveal anything in the
shape of clue. Miro refused to en-
ter the vault and the officers were
compelled to drag him before the
corpse and compel him to gaze upon
1t. He did not speak, however, and
has not said anything since being re.
turned to the police station that would
indicate an intention OF admitting
that he knows anything about the
murder.

A Good Reputation.

A good equation is a good invest
ment, but the only way Of securing, a
permanent investment Of good reputa-
ton is by putting a good character at
interest. "a good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches" but it is
often easier to get a character that
shall be the basis of good name. A
man may inherit his fathers riches,
but a man cannot bequeath his charac-
ter to his favorite son.
