MIllI0NAIRt's POOR STOMACH.

The worn-out stomach Of the over-fed
millionaire is often paradedi in the public
prints as a horrible example Of the evils
attendant on the possession OF great
wealth. But millionaires are not the
only mes who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
gestlon are rampant among these people,
and they suffer far worse fortunes than
the millionaire unless they avail them
/ selves OF a standard medicine like Green's
August Flower, which has been a favor
ite household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over thirty-tive years. An
! gust Flower rouseS the torpid liver thus
creating appetite and insuring perfect
I digestion. 1t tones and vitalizes the
| entire system and makes life worth liv'

One Way to Catch Frogs,

In looking owe a book Of travels in
France, written more than 100 years
ago, l came across an interesting bit
about the way Of catching frogs for
market. The author mentions the
fact that frogs We're sold by the hun
dred in the markets, that they were
classed as fish and that only the hind
quarters were eaten. But to come to
the main point he says: ITO catch the
frogs the fisherman puts one Of them
In a glass vessel, which he dips into a
brook. on which the creature, finding it.
sell In so strange a situation confined
In the midst Of water in a transparent
machine. or, I may say, invisible prts-
on, begins to croak most melodiously,
and by his croaking makes multitudes
of other frogs come to him on every
side, as if to rescue their companion,
when the frog fisher valiantly seizes
his prey."-London Chronicle.

Botherins a Duelist.

Brantome, a French author, in "Duel-
ing Stories Of the Sixteenth Century,"
tells Of the code then in vogue. 1t was
allowed in the challenge to stipulate as
many different weapons as one pleas
ed without specifying the particular
e with which one would actually
fight. The antagonist was bound to
provide himself with all. One due1ist
insisted on the provision Of no less
than thirty different kinds of arma-
ment, for foot and horseback; nay, be
ven specified the kind Of horse
eoursers, blood horses from Spain and
Turkey, thoroughbreds, cobs, some in
harness with ears and tail clipped,
some saddled in jennet style, some
with heavy plated armor and so me
The object was not only to take his
adversary by surprise, but to put him
to enormous expense and exhaust his
resources"

TEN of trade restrictions, which ended
with war in 1912.
The loss of our neutral trade and
the war brought on a period of bust
ness reorganization, depression, hard
times and caused such distress that
hundreds of thousands of people left
the seaboard and hurried to the far
West of that time. AS a consequence,
between 1916 and 1921, Indiana, Hi
nois, Alabama, Mississippi and Mis-
souri, entered the Union as states.
The foreign issues which distracted
the people from 1898 to 1915 were
soon replaced by others of domestic
origin, and during this period of tran
sition the Federalist party disap-
peared. From 1917 to 1921 there was
but one national party, and so harmo-
NOUS was it that in 1920 Monroe was
the only presidential candidate. This
harmony was due to lack of national
issues; but it could not last, and in
1924 four party chiefs-Adams, Clay,
Crawford and Jackson-contended for
the presidency, and threw the cleo

| public lands and the money derived
from their sale, the building of roads
and canals at Federal expense, tariff
Tor protection and sound currency.
On these the two parts of the old Re.
publican party took sides and became
rival parties, known after 1884 as
Wings and Democrats.
Between 1925 and 1916 the indus.
trial development of our country was
extraordinary. Manufactures -four
ished, canals were dug, railroads were
introduced, the national debt was
paid. surplus revenue was accumu.
lated and distributed among the
states, trades unions were formed and
the ten hour day secured, notification
was put down, wild speculation pro-
duced the panic of 1897, the struggle
with slavery commenced in earnest in
Texas.
Annexation of Texas led to war
with Mexico and a further expansion
of our territory. The effort to provide
New Mexico and Utah with territorial
! governments brought on the free-soil
struggle and the compromise of 1850;
the Kansas-Nebraska contest pro-
duced the Free Soil and Republican
parties and made slavery the ruling
political issue to 1860. Out of the
war for the Union came four classes
of issues-our claims on Great Britain
for damages caused by cruisers fitted
out in her ports, abolition of slavery
and the thirteenth, fourteenth and fif-
teenth amendments, the reconstruc-
ton acts and the great bonded and
floating debt. While these issues
were in process of settlement our
country again entered period of
great industrial, agricultural and min
ing development; the Pacific railroads
were built, the Middle West and the
Northwest were settled, great corpora
/ tons came into existence and finan.
cial, industrial, labor and commercial

Long years ago, midst the turmoil of
The, greatest of Liberty's children was
born;
Its lullaby songs was the drums startling
rattle,
And thunder of cannon at evening and
morn.
Reared in the school of privation and
rigor
Brave, strong and noble our country
has grown;
Ever renowned for it's progress and Wig
Or
Grandest of nations the world has e'er
known!
Lift up your voices in praise and orations,
Fling out the banner of freedom on
high;
The birthday is here of the greatest of
nations
Shout and rejoice! It's the Fourth of
July!
