William went slowly down through
the face-the shining face of the coal
to see David. When he got into his
friends place David stopped hammer
ing. His sledge-hammer slid from his
hands.
William put his lamp down. Owing
to the roughness of the bottom coal the
lamp leaned little, and the fame
smoked and burned red up against the
little circular glass. That would soon
crack it. So William put little bit Of
slag under the lowest side Of the lamp
to make the resting-place even.

like that could do so much HARM" said
he. If the glass broke the gas could
get at the little fame, make big explo-

demanded little testify.

William gravely stood upright. He
walked to the lamp, unhitched 1t, and
carried it down to the lower side of the
roadway.

returning. "A back blow from the
sledgc when you are hammering might
knock it,

"Well, then,' William said, calmly
shifting his argument, ut was in a dan
gerous place. When you knock the clod
down-you might free a blower around
the lamp and fill the place with gas.
That's why always take care to keep

discussion. He knew that once William

FICATIoN. ,-.>:,-.sz--..ss-,

. The Chicago Commercial association
has started a campaign for q suniform
classification in central and western
freight territory. Many errors are
chargeable to the double classification
on thru shipments, resulting oftentimes
in "under billing,' it is said. 80
The chief trouble arises in the COM
mon territory west of Chicago and east
of the Mississippi. Eastern classified
ton covers the territory north Of the
Ohio and east to the Mississippi. West
ern classification goes into effect at c. Chi
cage and reaches to the Rock les This
makes Illinois and Wisconsin common
classification territory on thru business.
The Chicago shippers declare they are
handicapped in the common territory, in
asmuch as Detroit, Indianapolis or Gin
cinnati jobbers get a lower rate than
they are allowed, At the same time
the railroads regard the proposed uni
'fcation of the classification as boon
and the most Of them are ready to join
in any movement which will operate to
remove some of the difficulties that now
confront them. -"

EATEN OUT OF

How a Confirmed Dyspsptic Developed
an Appetite Like Cornhusksr's and
Cleaned Out Everything in SIGHT.

The wife of leading druggist of
Des Moines tells how her brother was
changed from dyspeptic without APP
petite to prodigious eater.
My brother, who is a lawyer in
Chicago, came to visit me and | hardly
knew him on his arrival he was SO thin
and run down. II had not seen him for
years and was much alarmed at his
appearance. He told me not, to worry
as he had been in this condition for
years as a result of chronic dyspepsia.
l asked him what he had done for it,
and he said he had done everything
taken every remedy he had ever heard
of and consulted doctors without num-
Der, none of them helped him. I asked
HIM II he ever took Stuart s Dyspep sla
Tablets, and he said he hadn't, and
what was more, he wouldn t. He had
sworn off taking medicine of any kind.
81 had my husband bring home box
from the store and | actually made him
take one or two of the tablets after he
had eaten. They made him feel so
much better that he offered no further
OBJECTION. He had not taken the one
box before he was greatly improved.
and three or four boxes cured him of
dyspepsia and gave him wonderful
appetite. He came rear eating us out
of house and home. My, but it did me
good to see him eat. He gained fifteen
pounds before he returned home, and
he writes me that, he has not been
troubled with dyspepsia since.'
Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets actually
