WHY DO AMERICANS SUCCEED?

Why do we lead all the nations Of
the earth in prosperity, happiness and
individual contentment?
Why are we, Gs a people, regarded as
an invincible power of impregnable
strength?
And why do we compel the admira-
ton Of the whole world-at times
grudgingly given, but given, anyhow?
1t Is because we are free and indie
pendent in the truest meaning of the
words.
We think for ourselves, act for our
selves, govern ourselves more than the
people Of any other nation.
We are absolutely self-reliant, q ma
tional trait that renders US tndepend-
ent Of all other nations. independence
Is the keynote of our supremacy.
And this Is the reason why up-to-
date grocers and storekeepers appreci-
ate the fact that Americans of both
sexes have strong wills Of their own,
and do not need interested advice.
Every up-to-date grocer knows per-
fectly well that for more than a quar-
ter Of century Lion Coffee has been
the leading package coffee and well
come drink at the tables Of millions of
American homes.
He knows-and everybody else knows
that 1t has always kept its old
friends and steadily made new ones.
Good, reliable, trustworthy grocers
willingly acknowledge this, and all in
dependent housekeepers will insist up
on having Lion Coffee and no other, no
matter what kind of an argument gro
GERS Of obstinate principles may adj
vance.
Americans want the best, and they
get the best and purest in Lion Coffee

TOOK THE SHEEP BACK.
Collie Dog Evidently Had His own
Conception of Duty.

Conception OF Outy'
A story of a Scotch collie Is cur
rent on the Derbyshire border, says
an English exchange. A farmer IN
the Peak district, having purchased
a small flock Of sheep in the Low
lands, drove the flock the whole way
from Scotland to his farm in Derby.
shire with the aid Of a collie dog
which was lent to him by the Scotch
farmer from whom he purchased the
sheep. when you get to your home
with the sheep" said the Scotchman.
'let the dog fill his belly; then tell
him to go home" The Derbyshire
man duly arrived at his farm with
the sheep, and was so pleased with
the collie dog and its performance
that he decided to keep 1t few days
before sending 1t back. One day he
was away from home during the whole
of the day, and on returning in the
evening he found that the Scotch COZ
lie was missing, and also the flock OF
sheep. In few days tidings came
that the dog had arrived at his Scotch
home and had brought the sheep back
with him.

Birds, Killed In King George.
A most remarkable and uncommon
flying snake" that was captured and
killed at Berry Plain" the home OF
John 8. Dickinson, a few days ago, has
attracted wide attention.
The curious reptile was first noticed
flying about in the air, presenting the
appearance Of an ordinary snake at
tached to strange looking bird.
AS far as is known, 1t never once de-
scended to the earth and crawled On
the ground, after the manner of
snakes, but it would occasionally
alight in trees and catch such birds as
best suited its fancy.
It was finally killed and proved to
be five feet long and about one inch
in diameter Of body. 1t had wings of
good size, covered with feathers.
Berry Plain" where the curious
thing made its advent and met it's un-
timely end, is one of the finest planta-
lions in King George, being situated
on the banks of the Rappahannock 1t
is conjectured by some that the flying
snake" may have come from an i'm
penetrable marsh of the river or some
neighboring creek.-NeW York Herald.

CAUGHT Shark With His Hands.

DR.. e. E. Tull, the noted gynecol-
ogist, came to New York from the
eastern shore of Maryland, commonly
supposed to be a part of the Garden
of Eden transplanted. Last Saturday
a shark appeared in the shallow wat
er under the pier of the Wa-Wa-Y anda
club on Cap Tree island. In less time
than 1t takes to write it, DR.. Tull shed
his clothes, leaving on nothing but his
shirt, and was wading in the direction
of the monster, tiptoeing so as not to
disturb him. The tiger of the sea ap-
peared to be hypnotized. Hand me a
gaff," the Marylander whispered, and
small instrument, such as we fish
ermen save seventeen-pound bass
with, was passed to him. The water
was just up to his knees. When with
in five feet of the shark he drove the
gaff into it's neck, at the same time
plunging forward and grasping it by
the tail. The struggle lasted three
minutes, then Mr.. Shark was dragged
ashore. It measured Az feet.-New

Plan irrigation In Canada.

BY means of irrigation Canadian
railway officials propose to reclaim
1000 farms of 100 acres each before
the end Of the present year. They
have undertaken to irrigate between
100000 and 100000 acres between
Calgary and Medicine Hat, utilizing
the Bow and Red Deer rivers as the
source of water supply. The work of
making canals where the water is
most needed has already begun, and
the main channel, close to Calgary,
partly cut last year, is to be carried
twenty miles farther this year. This
channel Is sixty feet wide and carries
ten feet of water, while the secondary
canals, planned to be cut the coming
season, will water something over
100000 acres.

Opinion Expressed That Americans
Underrate Value Of silence.
In the United States we are prone
TO talk too much. We do not SUM-
ciently appreciate the value and beau.
" OF silence.
During the after business hours, at
the lunch and dinner table we talk on
and on without ceasing, as though
there was nothing worth thinking
about We invented the first talking
machine, and no American is consid-
cred properly equipped unless he can
talk at all times and upon all sub
jects.
Information must be impaired and
Ideas exchanged; 1t is essential to
mental companionship and develops
our faculties Of expression. But there
Is no necessity for the endless and
eternal talk in which SO many of us
indulge.
There is great force and value in
silence. 1t enables us to think. 1t
forms and expresses character. The
great men Of the world were relative
ly silent men; they talked only when
they had something to say, and the
greatest Of them said but very little.
We should study the beauty of ST.
lence and develop our thinking power
rather than our talking power.-Ex-

NAMES BEST DOCTOR.
MR.. BAYSE0N PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices In Perfect Freedom from
Miseries Of Indigestion.

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
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 q
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, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in 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 at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native Of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Gal. He is one of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in 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 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, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat, )" may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
DIR. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure Of constipation.
