DIGESTION DECIDES 1T.

DIGESTION DECIDES 1T.
Good Digestion More Than Half the
Battle.
Life is a ceaseless struggle for success.
Competition is everywhere. Everybody
wants to reach the top. Success is sought
for because 1t is supposed to insure hap
piness.
Ambition and ability make for success,
but without health. too. failure is more
han probable.
If the digestion is poor. the nerves I'M
steady, the blood thin. the weight less
than it should be, and ambition and en-
ergy at low tide because of stomach trou-
BILE, failure is almost a certainty.
Whether you make much or little of
life, whether you fail or succeed, your
digestion largely decides it. So confident
are Brown Bros. that P~epsikola tablets
will renew your energy, steady you
nerves, drive ava ythat tired feeling,
give tone to the digestion, improve your
appetite, bring up your weight to where
it should be, put new color into your
cheeks and new life into your stomach,
hat they continue to sell this grand dys-
pepsia remedy on the money back plan.
Have confidence. The guarantee abso-
lutely protects you. Brown Bros. will
gladly pay back your money If at the
end of the ten days treatment you nave
not been cured or decidedly benefited.

THE WEDDING DIRECTOR
Boston Woman Pioneer in New Occu-
 patton for Women.

Boston Woman Pioneer In New Occu-
 patton for Women.
 A wideawake woman In Boston has found new outlet for womans activ- ity by taking charge of weddings, ac- cording to the New York Tribune. On the day of the marriage ceremony the bride and the brides mother are gen. erally too busy and too tired to give much attention to the management of details. As helper in this household emergency the wedding director fills long felt want. The name of this plo- neer Is Mrs. Nellie Bllffins and she lives with her husband and daughter on Boston's aristocratic Beacon street.
 Mrs. Briffins' method Is to get to the house early and to give her first atten- ton to the rousseau. She sees to it that the dress, gloves and slippers are just right. She then takes charge of the packing. The bride eats her lunch con in comfort, knowing that every thing she needs will be in her bags and trunks, carefully inventorled in little book as to Its precise location.
 Mrs. Briffins is at the church door before the marriage ceremony, to give the last touches to the brides gown before the bride enters the church. The girls mother Is even saved from hay. ing to see that the rooms are put in order after the newly welded wife has gone on her wedding tour. Mrs. Bllf. fins attends to all that.
 The value of the work of the we'd ding director Is best attested by the popularity 1t has attained Most of her business, Mrs. Blffins says, comes indirectly. It has grown on the prin- ciple of an advertisement of certain merchant some years ago: If you don't like 1t, tell me; If you do like it, tell others"
 At first many people were inclined to pooh-pooh the idea of wedding di- rector. To-day, however, they have learned that even to run wedding properly takes some expert knowledge. Mrs. Bliffins Is student of design and decorative art, as well as of the chang ing fashions. Frequent visits to New York, and occasional ones to Paris en- able her to bring back ideas of how they manage these things In other places. But more valuable yet are the many suggestions her woman's wit and her woman's taste enable her to add to the convenience or the beauty of the wedding.

WONDERFUL ISLE OF PINES.
It Is Declared to Be the Garden Spot
 of Western Hemisphere.

of Western Hemisphere.
 R. c. Symes of New Orleans dropped into the Cotton Exchange for few moments the other day, says the Hous- ton Post. "I have just returned from the Isle of Pines," he said, "and there is no doubt about Its being the garden spot of the western hemisphere. It lies something like sixty miles south of Cuba and up to six years ago the people of this country had scarcely ever heard of 1t. Now It Is rapidly de- veloping into the greatest resort al most to the south of us. Before we Americans heard of 1t, 1t had become the sanitarium of the Cubans, for 1t Is literally covered with the finest mln- eral springs In the world. Its future in many ways. But 1t is the fruit gar. den of the tropics. Citrus fruits are at home there and oranges grow wild and in the greatest profusion, and owing to the unrellability of the crops else where l am firmly convinced that the time is at hand when it is going to be one of the biggest factors in the orange supply of the country. The transfor- nations taking place there are also little short of wonderful. About six ol seven years ago the half-milllon square acres of the island belonged to the Spaniards, but today nearly every bit ;& l, tn opnfrnl can also see trouble brewing in that quarter, perhaps of a serious sort, for the Americans there unhesitatingly as- sert that title to it did not pass to Cuba at the close of the Spanish war, but that 1t Is the property of the United States The people in control there want no Cuban proprietorship and are disposed to resist any claims in that direction. They say the island is of right the property of the United States and that the latter must assert sover- eighty, and if such does not come pret- ty soon there is every prospect of the neatest sort of little scrimmage in that locality. The trouble is perhaps more serious than many imagine, for the Americans who own the lands are among the most influential sort In this country and they are dead sure to bring such pressure to bear upon some administration as will compel the rec ognltion of their claims. For my part I don't know of better piece of ground above which to float forever the stars and stripes than the Isle of Pines. It Is to-day the richest piece of ground, size considered, In the civil ized world, and millions are destined to be made right tbere."

Friday evening. He was arrested, but
afterward released. but all of his gear
was confscated and brought to Asto-
ria. where condemnation proceedings
will be commenced and the gear sold
as provided by law. Any man that will
violate the fishing laws after receiv-
ing concessions from the Legislature
ought to lose his gear and be lmpris-
oned until the fishing season is over.
This is the only way to teach some
people the necessity of obeying the
laws.
