An Authors Revenge.

An instance of revenge long de-
ferred but none the less sweet comes
once i'm q while into the life of literary
men. More than a dozen years ago
Mr.. Emerson Hough the author Of
Hearts Desire wrote q story called
"Hasenberg'S Cross-eyed Horse, ;"
which he sought diligently but unsuc-
cessfully to market with the greater
number of the periodicals of the
known world. AT last the story found
a resting place in Mr.. Hough's desk.
Three years ago, feeling a bit let down
physically, he took the advice of a
distinguished publisher of New York
and put himself in the hands of an
osteopathic physician. Some doubts as
to the beneficial results existed, but
no doubt whatever as to the size of
the bill. Mr.. Hough pondered long and
Sc riously on the question of getting
even with his doctor. At length he
happened to think of his old story
of the cross-eyed horse. 9TH have
the osteopath treat the horses cross
eyes, said the author to himself
Whereupon he rewrote the story, sold
it promptly at a good figure, and made
it chapter of his new novel, where
it is known as Science at Hearts
Desire published by The Macmillan
Company. Mr.. Hough points to him.

ever, got even with his doctor.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But it Has Proven of Interest ana
Value to Thousands.

tdlu6 10 InOuSttIluS.
Common sense would suggest that il
one wishes to become fleShy and plump
it can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be
albuminous or f1esh-forming food, like
eggs, beefsteak, and cereals; in other
words the kinds of food that makes
flesh are the foods which form the
greater part of our daily bills of fare
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork,
does not properly digest and assimilate
it, which is the reason so many people
remain thin and under weight; the
digestive organs do not completely di-
gest the fiesh-forming beeksteak, eggs
and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who
are really confirmed dyspeptics, al
though they may have no particular
pain or inconvenience from their
stomachs. a.
If such persons would lay their pre-
JUDGES aside and make regular prac-
tice of taking, after each meal one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly
digested, because these tablets con-
tain the natural peptones and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach is
soon enabled to reach it's natural tone
and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every kind of flesh-forming food meat,
eggs, bread and potatoes. and this is
the reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dys-
peptic men, women and children.
InvalidS and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked bene-
fit as they contain no strong, irritat-
ing drugs, no cathartic nor any harm
full ingredients.
Stuart's Dyspeptic Tablets are the
most successful and most widely known
of any remedy for stomach troubles
because they are the most reasonable
and scientific of modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by every druggist in the United States
and Canada as well as Great Britain,
at so cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is. required to cure
any stomach trouble or to make thin,
nervous, dyspeptic people strong,
plump and well.

WHAT SULPHUR DOES.
For the Human BODY in Health anu
Disease. N

The mention Of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when
our mothers and grandmothers gave
us our daily dose of sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and q
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in palatable, con-
centrated form, so that "a single grain
is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and ex-
pertinent have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that OBJ
tanned from Calcium Calcium sui
phide) and sold in drugs stores under
the name of Stuarts Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated pei
lets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in highly con-
centrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form Of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health; sulphur acts directly on The
liver, and eXcretory organs and @pEri-
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary now
err of sulphur were often worse imam
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
Niol, fI1n1 e.
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote Tor
liver and kidney, troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood in
a way that often surprises patient
and physician alike.
DIR. r, M. Wilkins while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that. the sulphur from Calcium was
superior to any other form. He says:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles
especially when resulting from consu-
patton or malaria, l have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuarts Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, l have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving
| the skin clear and smooth. Although
| Stuart's Calcium Waters is pro-
| prietary article, and sold by druggists
| and for that reason tabooed by many
| physicians, yet L know of nothing sc
safe and reliable for constipation, liver
! and kidney troubles and especially in
all forms of skin disease as this rem
| edy."
AT any rate people who are tired
1 of pills, cathartics and so-called blood
| purifiers will find in Stuart's Cal
cium Waters q far safer, more palat-
able and effective preparatiOn.

his wit and the lack of versatility of

The eulogy Cox pronounced on
/ Stephen A. Douglass is fine compost
| ton and a literary triumph. He had
been the friend and follower and pupil
of that great man, and his grief over
| his too early death refused to be COM
forted. Cox one day made speech
| in the House on some subject that L
do not now recall, but the speech was
remarkable in that it was one continu-
| Gus volley or ALTERATION. Some Eng
| lshman of letters was then a visitor
| in our country, and he was celebrated
| for his fondness for that style of
composition. Cox greatly surpassed
him. and his speech is an example of
the immense wealth of our language.
1t was the darling ambition of Cox

parliamentary law, and was an ac-
complished presiding officer; but he
was less graceful than Blaine, less dig
nified than Carlisle. less commanding

been an admirable Speaker.
In 1872 Mr.. Cox was the Democratic
candidate for Congress from the State

Tremaine. He was running in the in

candidate for President, whom he had

was twice elected to the Forty-ninth
Congress-the first time lie resigned
his seat to go to Turkey as minister,
and o mis- return he was elected to
fill the uneXpired term of Joseph
Pulitzer, who resigned.
S. S. Cox served nearly thirty years
in Congress, and every day he was a
leader. His name is associated with
little important legislation, but his
mind was eminently suggestive, and
he was of great aid to his fellows. He
was always a gentleman, with heart
responsive to every call of distress. His
was a gentle nature, and he never
made an enemy in his long and hon
