and listened.

intense, sullen voice of one, "for it is
evident that Moses is determined that
we shall go forward, which, as We have
all heard from these our brethren who
have been through the land, will mean
certain death to u.s."
A deep silence followed this speech,

An Irish Superstition.

In the rural parts of Ireland it
Is considered unlucky to meet q
red-haired woman on going out in
the morning, especially a Monday
morning, for then the whole of the
coming week is involved in the i'll
luck. There is an Irish story Of a
newly appointed village postman
who, on starting forth to deliver
his first batch Of letters, had the
misfortune to encounter a woman
with red hair. He promptly went
home with his bag and there was
no postal delivery in the township
that day.

Ulcer of the
Stomach
rnsldious Nature of the Disease
How 20 Recognize and Cure Il.

How 70 Recognize and Cure II.
Ulcer OF the stomach may exist for
years without very marked symp-
toms, excepting those caused by indi-
gestion. 1t is due to an Inflammation
which affects the membrane Of the
stomach SO that It is eaten away by
the gastric juices.
In good health, the stomach re-
sists the action Of the gastric juices,
but when weakened, the membrane is
badly nourished and the digestive
fluids act upon 1t as we'll as upon the
food, keeping up until perforation OF
the stomach occurs. In advanced
cases Of ulcer of the stomach there is
much discomfort after eating, with q
constant gnawing sensation between
SGneals. pain from the pit OF the stom-
ach back to the shoulder blade.
At the first symptoms of indiges-
ton. treatment should at once be
started with Mi-o-na. This is a SCI
entific remedy adapted specifically to
one purpose, the cure Of stomach
troubles. II Is so uniformly success
full that q signed guarantee Is given
with every SO cent box that the
money will be refunded If 1t does
not cure.
Mi-o-na Is not a patent or secret
remedy, but is combination OF the
purest and most reliable Of remedies
for strengthening the digestive or
gans and building up the whole sys-
tenn. Use 1t for a few days ana
there is no reason why you should
not be able to eat any food you like
at any time without fear Of distress.

DuELs IN FRENCH COLONY
One Man Fought Ten at st. Pierre da
Miquelon in Past Four Years
Military Men Figure.


There is one place in North
America where dueling is still
common, according to the Chicago
Daily News. That is st. Pierre
Miquelon. Among other practices
peculiar to the mother country.
France, is that of settling affairs
of honor by an appeal to the pistol
or the rapier. From a recent pub
lication in the Pierrois journal La
Vigie (the Lookout it is learned
that II duels have taken place
there in the last four years, or an
average of one every three months.
In ten of these M. Paul Louis
Legasse, the fishery merchant,
who represents the little colony
In the French chamber at Yer
sailles, has figured as a principal.
1t is evident, therefore, that he
lives strenuous and dangerous
life, though, as nobody has ever
been seriously wounded in these
encounters, the peril must be less
than would appear at first sight.
The little town has $500 people,
and what may be termed its aris-
tocracy is very limited. M. Le.l
gasse, who is the leading fishery
outltter, owning over 60 vessels
that ply. on the Grand Banks and
whose wealth far exceeds that OF
any competitor in the place, has to
find his adyersaries among the of.
ficials who conduct the admins
tration or among the candidates
who contest his seat when the BIZ
ennial elections take place.
His latest duel was with M. Ca
peron, the retiring chief justice of
the little colony. Between the
two there had been feud since
last summer, when NJ. Legasse, be.
ing charged with completely in
some alleged marine scandal, was
arrested by order of this Judge,
bail being refused until M. Lee
gasse's friends appealed by cable
to the minister of justice in Paris,
who ordered his release. M. Le-
gasse, being unable to insist upon
a meeting while NJ. Caperon was
actually holding his exalted Of
flee, had to wait until his transfer
to another post was ordered.
Thenhepromptly challenged the |
chief justice. They fought with pis- |
tolsat45paces, butneither was hit.
N. Legasse's previous important |
duel was with NJ. Dumont, creole
from st. Pierre, Martinique, all OF
whose relatives were killed by the
tragic explosion of Mont Pelee.
NJ. Dumont, who is a lawyer, ran
against Legasse for deputy in the
last election, and special interest
attached to his candidacy because
many of his followers advocated
the annexation of the island to the
United States.
1t was as an outcome of some vi.
olent language that the Legassc-
Dumont duel took place. Previous
appearances of NJ. Legasse on the
field of honor were made with
other officials and with one or two
rivals in the commercial line. Of

Island and the naval squadron.

SHEPARD ON CORPORATIONS.

Concord. " II, Oct edward NJ Shepard. of
New York, to-day delivered the annual address
before the State Bar Association of New Hamp-

He discussed the injury done 20 the influence OF

ring to Abraham Lncoln's important practice as
chosen President, and to professional relations
Seward. Webster and others, including Presidents
Cleveland and Harrison.
The speaker proposed the abolition of nominal
capitalization and that the law should hereafter
require the issue of corporate shares without any
nominal or par value. that every share Of cor
part OF the net business assets and business

the same as any other property is valued. He
pointed out the evils resulting from excessive capt.

the dangers and dema gogy incident to corporate
abuses would be found in rigorous enforcement of
truthfuness and publicity, and especially in the
abolition Of all nominal Capitalizations for cor
porate stocks.
