APPEALS TO COURT.

by Parents.

Franklin, Pa, March 22.-Appcaling
to the courts. Ruby Agnes Holmes. IS
years old. was saved from marrying Il
man nearly three times her own age
Her parents had insisted on the mar
riage, and there was a remarkable
scene when Judge Criswcl took the
girl from their control and placed her
under the guardianship of the Rev.
John Dows Giils.
Mrs. Holmes, the girls mother, re-
Gently gave card party. During the
evening she made the formal announce
ment of her daughters engagement.
Nobody was more surprised than Ruby
herself. who in appearance is little
more than child.
Miss Holmes said nothing at the
time. but wien the guests had gone she
passionately declared she would never
marry a man who was old enough to be
her father.
Her mother tried to induce her to
submit. but she refused and appealed
to her friends. who told Mrs. Holmes
il was q crime TO force the girl into
such a match.
1t was said that Ruby was ill-treated
during the succeeding few weeks. and
finally the Rev. Mr.. ellis was ap-
pcalcd to. He consulted lawyers, and
bold move was decided on. A petit
tion was presented to Judge Criswell.
declaring that the Holmeses were un-
flt to have control of the girl. When
tie case came up it was quickly de-
cided in the girls favor.

day his schooner sailed for two hours
in a sea literally covered with lumber.
He described the lumber as short. light
p!ancd planks and judging from the
quantity seen, he was of the opinion
that a lumber schooner must have
gene to pieces near the island. Capt.
McSherra thought that there was too
much of the lumber to suppose it to
be a deckload cast by the board to
tighten some struggling vessel.
Another story Of a battle with the
elements and a refusal of a crew OF
ovorworked men to desert their ship
even though her poles We're bare, was
brought in today by Capt. Charles
Wilson of the fishing schooner Volant,
which spoke the three -masted British
schooner Silver Leaf off the southern
end of Georges last Tuesday. The
Silver Leaf was bound from Philadel-
phia for Parrsboro, n. s., and her bat
tie with wind and sea was at once
apparent. Her poles were stripped
bare and her only means of progress
had been swept away.
Wind and current We're from the
wrong direction, so far as aiding the
vessel was concerned and her captain
rigged up drogue by means of which
he held his vessels head up into the
wind. Capt. Wilson offered to take
off the crew but his offer was de-
clined, the men on board the Silver
Leaf declaring that they would not
abandon their ship. They announced
that they would wait until a steamer
hove in sight when they would re-
quest that they be towed to the nearest
port.
Capt. Wilson also reports having
81 oxen the Norwegian bark AacOtt,
bound from Dublin TO Boston. The
captain of the bark had lost his bear
ings during the storm and asked for
the correct longitude and latitude. He
was $50 miles from Boston at that
time. The captain of the Aacott re-
ported having encountered terrific
weather but his vessel did not sustain
serious injury.

STRANGE FACTS.

1t seems strange that sometimes your
stomach or bowels won't digest your
food. no matter what you cat.
1t may be the weather. or it may he
just the state of your general health.
but in any case, there is only one GER
tain. safe and positive method of cure,
AMI that is the proper use of that uni
versal remedy for all forms of dys-
peptic trouble or digestive weakness,
whether iii stomach, liver, kidneys or
bowels-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Strange. it is, that in such little tab
let's, to be taken a few times a day.
may lie such wondrous potential pos
sibilities, that by their use the course
of mans whole life-yes, of the
world-may be changed.
Yet. who would not appreciate the
fact that if Napoleon had not been suf-
fering from Cancer of the Stomach he
would have won instead of lost-at
Waterloo?
And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
would have cured his Stomach Trouble
had they then been invented, as they
have cured thousands Of others in the
past ten years. who have suffered just
as Napoleon did.
So YOU can readily appreciate that
today. by curing all these people, Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is helping to
get the worlds work done. by people
who would do worse work il they were
sick, so thcy must be having a great
influence. in quiet way, on the worlds
progress.
They may. therefore. be classed as
one of the triumphs of science. amongst
other discoveries. in medicine, me-
chanics, transportation. etc.
Let this, then. remain in your MEM
ory. a fact upon which to act when
occasion requires:
When any organ in your vast di-
gestive machinery gets out of order.
YOU have at your command one of the
great inventions of the age, in Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. to put your
machinery in order again.
, BY so doing you will save much use
less friction. add to the energy and
working possibilities of your bodily
machine. and relieve yourself from suf-
ferins. disease. weakness, premature
old age and death.
All this is strictly in accordance with
the most modern teachings of the best
scientific schools Of health, hygiene
and medicine, and it will be to your
advantage to lay these facts to heart.
Don't hesitate. Try Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets today.

Columbia, Mo-. March o2.-The stu
dents of the Missouri University to
prevent the closing of the school from
lack of coal went in a body to the
woods and cut enough fuel to last a
month. To do this they skipped their
classes, but the professors have ex-
pressed their gratitude by announcing
that no one shall suffer for the Of
fenSe.
TIE university was out of fuel owing
to the confiscation Of coal by the rail-
roads in view Of the impending strike
and the closing of the entire scnool
would have resulted. The students
not only cut down the trees, but
sawed the wood and hauled it to town
in wagons. 1t was piled near the
power house and will be used as a sub
