Texas or Rhode Island. New fish as and new facts about them. he loves as miser loves gold. only he does not hoard them, but gath CTS them to give out again.
 One day Harris chanced to be in St. Paul. He was talking with General Passenger Agent Charley Fee. who said Harris should 20 to Montana to catch grayling in a stream at that time much adver- tised.
 Harris said there were no gray ling in the stream. The railroad man laughed at him as New. Yorker who pretended to know more about a certain Montana river than man who had fshed il.
 The dispute waxed warm. Hai ris was due in New York on q certain day. and by taking the first train west hn could have six hOurs on the stream and still keep his en- gagement. In 36 hours ke was on the stream with a local represen- tative of the railroad. He w"1cd in. made one cast. and was fast to " si'v"rv t',ing that tore ahor' In "ht;lr Exc that of @rav'in".

 "Am sonding one of your gray linz. It's an internal old river whitefish."

OF A GOLF BALL,

lost sphere Found In Indians POCiH-
ct After Drive by Travers.
1t was when Walter j. Travis and
Jerome d. Travers, the two golf
cracks of the metropolitan district,
played from the last tee in the final
the other afternoon Of the invitation
tournament of the Shinnecock Hills
club, on Long Island, that the most
sensational incident Of a sensational
match occurred, says special dis
patch from Southampton, n. Y, to the
New York Herald.
The pair were all even, and victory
or defeat hung in the balance of the
most delicate scales. The slightest
hesitancy, the turn of the wrist shade
one way or the other, meant the des-
tiny of the cup.
A big crowd had gathered when the
news had spread that young Travers
of Nassau was making the veteran
Travis play the game of his life and
was apparently urging him to ten
sion beyond his capabilities. In all
events all watched Travers drive, and
as his ball sped through the air toward
the hill where lay the green all heard
dull thwack as an Indian from the
reservation turned suddenly and ran
like scared rabbit. 1t was 50 sudden
that none was positive, but all were
intuitiyely sure the ball had struck the
fleeing scared figure.
Search was made for the ball, and,
although all joined in the hunt, the
white sphere was nowhere to be found.
Under the rules a lost ball means the
loss of the hole, and this means the
loss of the match Time flew, yet the
ball was not in sight.
In the meantime the Indian had re-
appeared and when asked declared the
ball had not touched him. John NJ.
Ward, however, turned suddenly on
the Indian and, feeling his waist and
hips, said, as he extracted a ball from
the mans hip pocket, rs that your

the New York Herald. An orderly
dashed below to notify CaptGnn Reeder
a messenger ran to summon1le bugler
and to tell him to sound assembly"
and at the same time the lean arms Of
the semaphores began waving warming
to the seven other battleships anchored
farther up the North river. The crews
of the saluting battery dashed to their
stations. and the men of the marine
guard came hurrying to the quarter
deck, buttoning blouses and adjusting
accouterments as they hurriedly fell in
line.
When a mile or so distant string
of signal flags went huttering to the
foremost of the Sylph. A few seconds
later the megaphOne roared down at
the quarter deck again, and the voice
behind it said:
"Sylph makes signal, DO not salute

Rear Admiral Evans was on the
quarter deck of the flagship, the Maine,
when the Sylph came by. The presi-
dent saw him, removed his hat with
one hand and with the other made a

NEEDLE PARALYSIS
DIR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS THE
ONLY SAFEGUARD.
One Of the Afflicted Tells How
They Restored the Use
Of RalgIea Fingers.

Too steady use OF a particular set of
muscles tends to chronic fatigue
which produces faulty or difficult mo-
ton, trembling. cramps, and even par
alysis. Writers, stenographer teleg-
rapherss tailOrs and seamstresses are
among the classes most threaten
threatened in this way with the loss
of their power to earn a living.
The only safeguard is to keep up the
supply of nerve force through the
blood. which carried to the nerves the
food that support their strength. The
following instance shows that the
nerve power may. be recovered after
it seems entirely lost, if the right
means are taken. Mrs. o. S Black
stem, of No. 584 North Bowman street
Mansfield, Ohio, says:
For years my hands would become
so numb at times that I would drop
anything I attempted to lift. Later
they became SO bad that I could not
sew any longer. AS soon as 7 put on
my thimble pricking sensation
would begin in my finger tips and run
up to my shoulders. I got so at last
that could scarcely do anything at
all with my hands.
There was another serious discom-
fort. At night the prickihg sensations
would come on worse than ever. When
[ retired my hands and arms would
pain so that 1 dreaded to go to bed.
I suffered more than I can make any
one understand. My family Doctor
gave me some nerve tablets. Ihey
helped me a little, but only for a
short time after I had taken them. If
I happened to be without them for a
day or two I would hs as bad as ever
or even worse.
zone day book was left at my
door. I looked at it and got inter-
ested in reading accounts of cures
from nervous troubles effected by DR..
Williams Pink Pills. That very day
got a box and began to take them.
The result was surprising. Thanks to
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, I am now all
right. I can sleep undisturbed by
pain, and I am in fact as well as
ever was in my life"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have made
some marvellous cures in severe nerv-
Gus disorders, because they feed the
blood with vital elements and so re-
store lost nerve force. And, though
the blood, they strike at the root of all
common blood diseases such as an
aemia, general weakness, indigestion,
headaches, neuralgia, rheumatism,
sciatica, lumbagO.- bacI che, and the
special ailments of women when their
blood becomes poor or irregular. DR..

FORGETs HIS TROUSERS.
Hartman starts from Car Minus I'm
portant Part OF Attire.

Omaha, Neb, Oct. 27.=Dressed in
a union suit, coat, vest, and light
overcoat, but minus his trousers, Mr..
E. n. Hartman, the railroad mag
nate, started to leave his private car
at the union depot here couple of
mornings ago. He had opened the
car door to step outside when a draft
of cold air and a hasty exclamation
from julius Kruttschnitt, director of
maintenance and ways, called his at
tention to his forgetfulness.
Mr. Hartman was still in bed when
Omaha was reached, but when he was
told one of the new gasoline motors
was at the depot waiting for his in
spection he called his valet and began
hurriedly dressing. Between Harri-
man and the valet the trousers were
forgotten. The railroad president was
fully dressed in the other garments
in a few moments, and started for the
platform. Just as he opened the door
Mr.. Kruttschnitt saw the omission and
called out:
"Nr Hartman, it's pretty cold this
morning. Hadn't you better put on
a pair of trousers" and at the same
moment Mr.. Hartman felt the cold
air from the door and discovered the
reason.
The occupants of the car roared
and joked him numerically while he
finished dressing and went to inspect
the motor.

ONLY A SUGGESTION
But Is Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Value to Thousands.
Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become heshy and
plump it can only result from the food
we eat and digest and that food should
be albuminous or 1esh-forming food,
like eggs, beefsteak, and cereals; in
other words the kinds of food that
make 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 aSsimi-
late it. which is the reason SO many
people remain thin and under weight;
the digestive organs do not complete
ly digest the fesh-forming beefsteak,
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.
If such persons would lay their
prejudices aside and make regular
practice of taking. after each meal
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets the food would be quickly and
thoroughly digested, because these
tablets contain the natural peptones
and diastase which every weak stom-
ach lacks. and by supplying this want
the stomach is soon enabled to reach
it's natural tone and vigor.
Stuart5s Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every kind of fiesh-fOrming food, meat,
eggs. bread and potatoes, and this is
the reason they 50 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, irritating
drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful
ingredients.
Stuart's Dyspepsia 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 we'll as Great Britain,
at so cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is required to cure
any stomach trouble or to make thin,
