NOW HIS VIEWS
HAVE CHANGED SOME

We sat under the soothing shade of
the locust trees. The clouds fieeted
lazily toward the north and the
breeze wandered gently through the
spreading branches. He took his pipe
from his mouth and said:
'Speakin' of doctors-there ain t
nothin' in their practice, SO far as
material benefit is consumed, the
old-time ideas hast to give way to
advanced science, and intelligence of
the right sort these days places the
ails of the human body beyond the
amt no pain as can't be put aside
by the application of mental forces,
for, as you imagine it comes, you're
merely got to stop an apply your
mental healing-jest think of it!
There hain't no pain, an therell be
no pain!"
The shadows were frightening
across the yard and the cool of the
evening was drawing nigh. The old
wife came out and said:
Sam, I want you to take the hon
ey from them gums this evenin',"
He arose and turned to the back
yard. In short time he reappeared
with part of a fy-screen tied over his
head, and his hands protected by a
jair of buckskin gloves. He carried
chunk of smoking wood in one
hand and Ratchet in the other.
Nanny stood at safe distance,
holding a large dish-pan under her
arm. All went we'll for time, until
Sam leaned too far over one of the
hives and broke it down, then there
was something doing" The bees
got under the fly screen, which had
become loosened; they crawled under
his shirt, and they went up his trous-
err leg. He stumbled over the stump
af a tree and the chunk of fire went
straight against the nearest hive.
Help! nanny, help"
But nanny was having troubles of
her own over there under the grape
arbor. Sam fought his way through
the raspberry bushes and broke the
gate into kindling wood getting into
the yard. The old gray mare graz
ing peacefully near the back fence,
suddenly snorted and crashing over
the cistern box, leaped the front fence
and went up the big road. The shep-
herd dog went under the house with
a fearful yelp as little bee gave him
parting farewell. Sam had over
turned the grindstone and was slowly
ly crawling toward the pond. l have
heard all sorts of men use all sorts of
profane language, but Sam was in a
class all to himself, and l think he
coined some words that day that will
go down to posterity.
After matters had quieted down
somewhat, I ventured near the pond.
Sam stuck his head up through a
bunch of jimpsun weeds and sadly
gazed at me through his fast-closing
eyes. His nose looked like skinned
beet
"Are you hurt, SAM"
Hurt? I'm purity nigh dead
Sam, now would be good time
to apply your mental healing
He sunk down little deeper in the
pond, his swollen lip curled into a
bitter sheer as he said: "You go

SPEAKING OF MIKE HICKEY.

Mike drifted into New Orleans on
his uppers, but was cheerful, at that:
He found the clan at camp and
Poydras, and this is the. tale. Says
Mickey:
81 met Dan Murphy at Baton
Rouge, an he was to take me out OF
town.
eve had a few, but when we were
gettin' on tn boat, poor Danny fell
off.
"The river is 'divil' right there,
an went over after him.
81 grabbed him by the coat and
held him up, while the boat was after
us, and when they throwed a boat
hook into us, and brought us out,
says, speaking quietly, Are you
there, Danny, with the money? These
men have saved us from a watery
gravel
"Then Dan got sore, and he rose
up, in his wrath, and said:
"'Say, do you think I'm giving up
any dope to geezers who beat me out
of a good sleep?'"
And the real story is that he didn't
know that he had been in the river
at all.

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1t is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia 81 deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
Il had bean troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. / followed instruc-
lions and now / am entirely well.
THE whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four Packages week You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system If
that part of the human body is in per-
feet working order. there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the en-
CINE.
When the nervous system is run
down. the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults 1t is perfectly cooked and

Eczema appeared when our baby
was three months old. We applied to
several doctors and hospitals, each of
which gave US something different
every time, but nothing brought relief.
At last, one of our friends recommend
Ointment. A few days afterwards i'm

we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now

Little Paul was four years old when
the western city in which he lived was
swept one night by terrible storm.
Wind, thunder and lightning played
havoc, and, while other members of
the family were huddled in dark cor

the sky with great delight The next
morning at breakfast he asked his
father what caused the streaks Of fire
across the sky, and his father, with
great pains, essayed to explain Paul

An Indians View of an Organ.

After a while curiosity led me back
to the sod house, and 1 saw for the
first time how the white woman pumps
so much air into a box that when she
presses on the top board it bowls con-
vulsively. 1 forgot my bashfulness so
far as to listen openly and enjoy the
operation, wondering much how the
white man puts pair of lungs into a
box, which is furnished with whole
set of black and white teeth, and
when he sings to it it appears to an
swer him. This is how the white peo-
pie teach their children to do things,

STOMACH ON STRIKE
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
FOR INDIGESTION.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Cured This
Hundreds of Other Cases OF

Woman and Haxe Cured Many
Common Ailments
Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and a dull, sluggish feeling-these are
the symptoms of stomach trouble. They
indicate that the stomach is on strike;
that it Is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quota of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers
There are two methods of treatment,
the old one by which the stomach Is
and artificial fermentS, and the new one
by which the stomach is toned up to do
the work which nature intended of it.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment is
that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says:

stomach trouble and terrible backaches

part of three years. I was under the

These wonderful pills are useful in q
wide range of diseases such as anRmia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia

The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion OF the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
