Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor" he
says II was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure i'll eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been tragic one When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep tnight, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure i'll living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is q native Of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
ut No. 24S9 Larl1in street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one Of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills i'll the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea, pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries Of q dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and q
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat, "may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
D.. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NJ. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure OF constipation.

N looking back to boyhood days
have been amused at the vicissi-
tudes which will beset a boy who is
one of 16. That was the size of our
family. 1t was one of the old-fash
Toned sort. Fourteen of us were born
OF one mother, ten boys and four girls
and then, because the house seemed
rather quiet, the old folks adopted two
more. My father, who was wagon
maker, and a mighty coed one, was
fond Of children. That might be evil
dent from what | have said; but he
was fond of other peoples children
too, and seemed to be happier for hav-
ing his residence across the street
from another family Oh ten boys And
OF course that made it very pleasant
for the juvenile Masons. The &c of US
did not have to be lonely. The other
family's name was Huyck. The Huycks

at their house and they at ours until
1t was pretty hard to tell who belonged
where. 1t came to be a tradition OF
the two families that every night Mrs
Mason should wash ten boys and Mrs.
Huyck should wash the same number;
then they would sort out their own
and send them home. But it didn't
make much difference. The two
houses were the same size, and the
things to eat were the same The only
point was to have the number evenly
divided. We had a practical system
OF bookkeeping for that. My father

no diamonds produced in this country,

of the diamonds cut in the United States
at the present time is greater than the
value of those imported during many
previous years.

They included magnificent blue and

inches in diameter, varying in color
from pale green to a deep sea green.
A rare variety of rose colored beryl was
also found, and axinite, a gem mineral,

in this country. Magnificent red, green
and yellow tourmalines were found in
abundance in San Diego county.
Crystals of tourmalines which ara

year near Rumford Falls, Me. Tur-

THE TRICKS
Coffee Plays on Some.

It hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts, for it is sometimes
humiliating to think of afterwards.
when was young girl l was Q
lover of coffee but was sick so much
the doctor told me to quit and did.
but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink it again as he did
not think it was the coffee caused the
troubles.
$50 I commenced 1t again and con-
tinued about months until my
choking as If had swallowed some
thing the size of an egg. One doctor
said it was neuralgia and Indigestion.
Zone day I took a drive with my
husband three miles in the country
and drank cup of coffee for dinner.
I thought sure I would die before I
got back to town to doctor. I was
drawn double in the buggy and when
my husband hitched the horse to get
me out into the Doctors Office. misery
came up In my throat and seemed to
shut my breath OF entirely, then left
all in q flash and went to my heart.
The doctor pronounced it nervous
heart trouble and when got home I
was SO, weak could not sit I'D.
my husband brought my supper to
my bedside with nice cup Of hot cot
fee, but said: Take that back, dear.

worth, tor It Is just killing me- He

enters the banquet hall of that
dining club he leaves the bur-
dens of Office behind him and enters
into the spirit of the occasion with
zest that is inspiring to the whole
gathering, and which does him immense
good physically and mentally. At the
last annual dinner of the club Mr..
Roosevelt sat down at the beginning
of the banquet and never left till the
final song had been sung and the din
ner brought to an end.
The president has keen appreciation
of wit and humor, and enjoys as thor
oughly travesties and burlesques on ma
tiOnal affairs and on subjects in which
he is personally interested as he does
the Gridiron roasting of other men, par
ties and events. His laughter on these
occasions is contagious. He is con-
stantly on the qui vive for the climax
of an act or joke, and bursts into a
shout of laughter when it is reached.
The president is just as happy in his
after-dinner speeches as he is in his pub
lie utterances on subjects that are dear
to his heart and significant of his adj
ministration. At the recent dinner he
enjoyed hugely burlesque on a presi-
Dental Inauguration which included the
appearance of a rough rider parade and
the Introduction of cabinet whose
members were represented as standing
for various policies and foibles of his
own.
1t is this happy faculty of relaxation
that keeps the president in good trim
and well balanced for the consideration
of the serious problems of his admins
tratiOn and for the burdens of his Of
flee. At least once year he makes it

estness, and is advocated for application
in the far off territory of Alaska. Mr..
G. w. burlington spent five months in
Alaska last year investigating for the
United States geological survey the
cost and methods of gold placer mining
in the territory. In studying the con-
ditions in our northern possessions he
was impressed with the present made
Quate means of communication between
the different parts of the territory. Gold
mining is conducted in the interior of
Alaska in the face of difficulties OF
transportation which seem hardly cred
ible. His investigation of what has been
done by the Canadian government con-
corning railroad construction in that
part of the continent indicates that road
building on an extensive scale in the
northern ATTITUDES is entirely feasible,
and can be accomplished at moderate
cost.
He indorses the recommendation made
by A. H. Brooks, geologist in charge of
the Alaska mineral resources, that an
appropriation of 81 100000 be spent for
wagon roads in Alaska. This sum he
believes would build 900 miles of road
through parts of the country which
would be most assisted by their con-
StructiOn.
In the vicinity of Dawson, in the Yu-
kon territory of Canada, standard high
ways have been constructed at cost
of from 81 500 to $4,000 mile. The an
nual maintenance of such a road costs
$3.50 a mile. The average cost of con-
struction for sled or winter trail in this
territory is from $3.50 to $500 a mile.
Such trails can be maintained for about
$25 year. Previous to the construction
of the wagon road the cost of transpor-
tation per 1000 pounds, distance of
IL miles, was seven dollars. The same
amount of merchandise is now trans
ported the same distance for one dollar

to be full warrant for the story that is
often told as a joke that in some sec
tons of the country winds are so fierce
that they blow the feathers off chick
ems and other luckless birds.
When some of the cyclonic yarns of
the west are laughed at by the SCOT
fers, the weather bureau can produce
authenticated photographs to back up
wonderful statements. From these rec
ords it appears that under the influence
of cyclone straws and feathers have
buried themselves for a considerable
distance in the bark of trees and sides
of frame buildings; that sphnters of
wood have penetrated sections of steel
and that at least one chicken was
stripped of the greater part of his feath-
ers. Mr.. Calvert, private secretary TO
Prof. Moore, chief of the weather bu-
reau. has charge of these Photographic
proofs of cyclonic freaks, and relates
some interesting stories Of the effect OF

lance from the house of the owner. The
farmer and his family took to the cy-
clone cellar at the first sign of danger.
