DID A WORLD OF GOOD
Or. Williams Pink Pills Cure Heart
Pains, Dizzy Spells and
Weakness

Easy to get, hard to get rid of; that is
what most sufferers think of dyspepsia.
They are astonished when their stomach
begins to trouble them seriously.
They had been eating hurriedly and
irregularly for long time, to be sure,
but they supposed their stomachs quite
used to that
Some people know that the strength
which the weak stomach needs, aud for
the lack of which the whole body is suf-e
fering, can be found surely and quietly
in Dir. Williams Pink Pills. In hul-
dreds of instances these pills have sac
ceeded where other remedies failed.
"My Indigestion" said Mr.. J II. Mil
Ter, of Dayton, Va, "cane in the first
place from the fact that a few years agp
| worked great deal ut night, and ate
at any odd hour whenever the chance
came, and always very lfnrriedly. One
day found myself victim Of terrible
dyspepsia. 1t kept me miserable all the
time for several years.
Il always had great deal of distress
after eating, and when got up from my
sleep my stomach would be so weak that
it would hardly take any food. | had
very uncomfortable feelings about my
heart, and was dizzy and, whenever
stopped over and then Strengthened up,
my eyes would be badly blurred.
II read the statements of several per.
sons who had got rid of obstinate stom.
ach troubles by using DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. | bought some and they
did me world OF good. They acted
promptly and did just what was claimed
for them. / have no more distress af.
ter meals; the bad feeling has gone from
the region of my heart; the alarming
dizzy spells have disappeared, and | am
strong again"

REMARKABLE FEAT OF MEMORY.
Children Learn and Recite Thousands
of Bible Verses.

The pastor of a church in Jersey
town wished to stimulate the memo.
ries Of the children In his Sunday
school. To this end he offered two
prizes, the first to pupils over and
the other to pupils under twelve who
during an interval of three months
would learn to recite the greatest
number of verses from the Bible. A
committee was appointed to hear the
contestants for the prize and register
the number of verses memoriZed.
The first prize was taken by a
young girl of sixteen who had com
mitted to memory during this interval
of ninety days 1926 verses of Scrip
ture. These passages covered the en-,
tire New Testament with the excep.
ton of two genealogies and included
liberal selections from Psalms, Gene.
sis and other parts of the Old Tesla
ment. The winner Of the second prize
was little sister of the other prize
winner, child of eleven years. She
had learned 715 verses. During the
contest some 10000 verses were mem.
orized.

WELL NAMED CANNiBAL PLANT.
Nicaraguan Vegetable That Preys on
Llvinu Objects.

On the shores OF Lake Nicaragua Is
to be found an uncanny product OF
the vegetable kingdom known among
the natives by the expressive name of
"the DEVILS moose" How delighted
Poe would have been to make this
cannibal plant the subject of one OF
his weird stories!
Dunstan. the naturalist, discovered
1t not long ago while wandering on the
shores of the lake. Attracted by
cries of pain and terror from his dog,
he found the animal held by black,
sticky bands, which had chafed the
skin to the bleeding point. These
bands were branches of newly dis
covered carniyorous plant which has
been aptly named 1.-THE land octopus
The branches are flexible, black,
polished, without leaves, and secrete a
viscid fluid They are also furnished
with a great number of suckers, with
which they attach themselves to their
victims. 1t certainly deserves to be
classed as the octopus of the vegetable
world.-New York Herald.

An Incident.

1t was in a street car, but on the
rear seats where one was allowed to
smoke that this occurred. A peppery-
looking woman was sitting ON one of
these seats, evidently taking umbrage
at an Irishman who was smoking.
Finally her Indignation mounted so
high that she adjusted her pince-nez
glasses on her thin nose and inquired:
my good man, are you accustomed
to smoke in the presence of LADY,
mo, NUM-" replied the Irishman
stolidly, and continued smoking.
Two girls up in front Uttered and
the peppery lady got off two blocks
farther on.-New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat.

Gently. James Keys, man of few
words, was the last to speak in the
negative, and all were anxious to hear
what he had to say. When the time
approached for him to speak, he ose
slowly, walked to the other sid of
the room and rang the bell. He or
dered a glass of hot whiskey punch
and drank it off with great gusto.
Then, turning to his opponents, he
handed the empty glass to the lead

sir, smell it." 1t is almost needless
to add that Keys carried the decision
for the negative.

Surprise for a Clergyman,

It is on record that the pastor OF
the only Catholic church in small
town in Eastern Massachusetts was
obliged to raise some money for re-

appeals met with little response, he

and solicit contributions. The local

the house, and, going to the door, she

EAGLE sKlLLFUL IN STRATEGY.
Cunning Devices Used by the Mon
arch of the Air.

arch of the Air.
Ornithologists are inclined to dis
courage the idea that eagles are in
the habit of attacking large animals,
but contest witnessed by an observ-
er dispels such theory. The battle
was between an eagle and a stag.
The bird singled out from herd
one particular buck, which it succeed
ed in driving from the rest. 1t struck
the animal with its powerful wings,
knocked it down and finally killed It..
A still more remarkable spectacle III
well authenticated. An eagle attack
ed a fawn in the highlands of Scot
land. The cries of the little one were
upon the eagle and struck it repeated
ly with it's forefeet. Fawn, deer and
eagle rolled down decliyity, the bird
was dislodged from its hold an the
fawn rescued.
Many traditions are extant as to
the carrying off of children by eagles.
Fhe most recent case bearing close
scrutiny is one which happened in
South Africa. A Boer farmer whose
stock had been harried by eagles lay
in ambush for the robbers and saw
one of them descend and carry off the
5year-old child of one of his Kafiir
servants. He shot the bird, which,
with the child still elutched in it's
grip, fell into a thorn bush The bird
was dead, but the child was little
hurt.
Two eagles will stalk covert in
concert. While one conceals itself
the other beats about the bushes with
great screaming, driving out its quar-
ry for the hidden eagle to swoop
down upon. An even more insidious
| method has been observed. An eagle
seeing sheep on the edge Of prec-
ipice flew at it, screaming shrilly and
with forceful beat of wing hurled ii
into the valley below, where it could
devour it as leisure. In the light of
such records there is good reason for
believing the legend of the eagle drop
ping tortoise on the bald head OF
Aeschylus, the Greek poet, and Sc
causing his death.

Failure Of Fishing Season.

Reports coming from the shad and her
ring fisheries in the upper part of Chesa-
peake bay are that the season has been
almost a total failure and that the fishing
shore owners and operators will lose thou
sands of dollars. The herring industry at
Havre de Grace has. like those on the Po-
tomac, been extremely poor, and there ts
now but little prospect of its being any
better this spring. With an average sea-
son about 10000 or 1900 barrels of her
ring are packed by the fishing houses about
the mouth OF the Susquehanna river but
this year II Is estimated that 10000 barrels
will cover all packed by the large plants.
