NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
n Desperately Serious Case Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Brought to the very verge of starva-
ton by the rejection of all nourishment,
her vitality almost destroyed, the re-
coyery of Mrs. j. A. Wyatt, of No 1889
Seventh street, Des Moines, Iowa,
seemed hopeless. Her physicians utterly
failed to reach the seat of the difficulty
and death must have resulted if she had
not pursued an independent course sug-
gested by her sisters experience.
Mrs. Wyatt says 81 had pain in the
region of the heart, palpitation and
shortness of breath so that | could not
walk very fast. My head ached very
badly and | was seized with vomiting
spells whenever took any food. A doc
tor was called who pronounced the
trouble gastritis, but he gave me no re-
lief. Then | tried a second doctor with

Texas Pecan Orchards,

Texas is the greatest pecan growing
section in the world. Pecans are a
valuable food product. Cultivation of
pecans is a probable industry, the
trees in many orchards being valued
at 500 each. Experts declare the
crop will pay more in proportion to
the care given and money invested
than any other crop. There are pc
can orchards in Texas more than l.
600 acres in extent, and even larger
ones are to be created.-Dallas News,

Andrews had come to the point
where he had to tell somebody else
of his great happiness. AS long as
there had been no assurance that
his love was returned, he had proud
ly and resolutely eschewed conf
dants, but now that the thing was
settled even beyond his most san
guine hopes, an equal sense of pride
and determination assailed him to
share his glorious secret with the
world.
1t was after 10 o'clock, and he had
already FILTERED away the best part
Of two hours dreaming before the fire,
reading sentimental nonsense and
porting over the photograph which lad
arrived in the afternoon post. 1t was
the picture of a strikingly beautiful
woman, lowering close on thirty

full of a charm that nearly everybody

was warmly pale, with just sugges-
ton of rose beneath the satin sur
5face. Her brows were fine and black,
contrasting in a ravishing way with
the shining pile Of seal-brown hair
with its Elusive glints of gold.
Andrews placed the picture on a
table beside him, and closing his
eyes, drifted off into a delicious rev.
erie. A clock striking II reused him.
He sat up and looked about the room
half-guiltily. At the same time, there
came a hurried rap on his door, fol

Andrews smiled and shook his head
as he slit the paper on fresh box
of cigars.

on Andrews face, trying sharply to
make out its radiant significance, un-

Presently, the sleepy valet came

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.

about four years ago | was afflict'

face and a few covering my body,
which produced a severe itching irri-
tation, and which caused me a great
deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that | was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After a thorough exami-
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the

the treatment did me no good. Fin

PANTOMlME HAD BAD EerECr.
London Youth Copied Crimes OF Hero
of STAGE

Are modern melodramas harmful to
uneducated minds? Some of the old
time pantomimes in London proved to
be. In the eighteenth century one
Of the most popular productions at
the Drury Lane theater of those days
was a pantomime called Harlequin
Jack Sheppard which was simply
reproduction of the crimes of this
popular young criminal, who was only
% when he was hanged. His chief
appeal to the popular imagination was
his brilliant escape from Newgate
prison with the letters on his hands,
and when he was made the subject OF
a Christmas entertainment hundreds
tiocked to see it. 1t was even proved
that numbers of boy pickpockets who
filled the prisons about that time had
got their first inspiration to thieve
from this melodramatic entertainment,
and one boy confessed that he stole
in order to get to the pantomime and
hoped some day to be as clever as
Jack Sheppard.

"He stops eating, he stops sleeping;

caught his breath in a little sharp
spasm as he placed the photograph
carefully on the table,
Had Andrews been less infatuated,
there might have been room in his
perceptions to notice the others
tense excitement. AS it was, he
could only attribute Preston's appar-
ent feeling to some of the keen ad-
miration which blessed him SO en-
tirely.
What is her other name? You
didn't tell me that, did you?" he ask
ed with an assumption of careless
ness. He turned away as he spoke
and went over to the mantel.
"Carwell--her fathers name al
though she has been married. She
left her husband when they had been
married but year"
"Why?" Preston turned again and
came back eagerly, no thought of i'm
propriety in the question occurring to
him in his intense excitement.
Andrews lost color for an instant
as he replied:
I've never questioned her about
this to any extent, but from what
can CLEAN, the fellow must have
treated her rather brutally."
"Brutally! God!" thought the 9TH
err with a swift rush of bitterness.
Then quick revulsion seized him.
They had never been congenial, even
as lovers. Their married life had
been decidedly uncomfortable, as far
as he was concerned. although he felt
that he had done the best he could.
She was not the sort of woman for
him; he was certainly not the man
to make her happy Perhaps the
very difference had been a daily cru
cifixion to her; had been as a raw
lash on her sensibilities! He looked
again at Andrews illumined face. No;
there could be no doubt of the gen
uineness of his love. Nor, looking at
the face in the picture, could there
be any doubt that she was perfectly
content. For brief moment, Preston
| thought with keen resentment of the
things she had done to make their
brief welded life all the more unbear-
able. Then he caught the smile on
his friends eye-a smile of unalloyed
happiness-and the past vanished.
Andrews had been the best friend he
had ever had, and he could not bring
himself to that! If anything could re-
claim her, it was a love like this.
And if, in the old days, his had been
the blame in any degree, he owed it
to her now to keep silence.
At midnight he shook hands with
Andrews for the last time, giving his
promise to come and stay with him
and his wife on his return the follow
ing summer.
But he never saw him again.

Treat That Rover Missed.

Tales of the siege of Paris during
the Franco-Prussian war have been
many. One of these yarns was as fol,
lows: A much-loved collie dog had
been preserved by its owners from
the death that befell all pets during
that time of starvation. There came
at last day, however when it, too,
had to go, and the sorrowing but fam
ished family met their pet for the last
time in the soup tureen. They ate in
silence until nothing remained but
heap Of bones. Then the master of
the house. an absent-minded person,
looked round in search of something,
and said with sigh: How poor old
Rover would have enjoyed those
bones!"

Commissioned officer at Sixteen

Capt. Joseph Burger Of st, Paul
claims to have reached that rank at a
younger age than any other man in
america, having been commissioned
at 16 during the civil war. He was 10
years and months old when he en-
listed in 1861. He was in the battle
of Mill Springs, one of the first de-
cisive union victories in the war. He
also fought at Corinth, Chickamauga,
Missionary Ridge and Tullahoma. In
the second engagement at Dalton Ga,
he lost his left arm, besides receiving
wounds in his right hand and leg. He
was promoted to a captaincy when
stationed at Fort Douglas in 1864.

Beet Roots a Valuable Remedy.

Beet roots have valuable diuretic
qualities. One lady suffering from
disease of that nature paid very
high fee to famous doctor, besides
journeying far to see him, merely to
be told to take regularly the juice of
beets. These should be trimmed as
little as possible before boiling, great
care being taken not to cut off the
little rootlets or fibers, in order that
they may not bleed" and so lose a
great deal of their juice and brilliant
coloring matter, which vinegar, by
the way intensifies, though when used
for medicinal purposes it would be
better omitted.
