OUICLEY'S
FRIEND
BY CANIR HEALY.
Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles)

Quigley had one weakness. He
got drunk exactly four times year
on each of the four successive pen
sion days. And when Quigley got
drunk he acted like mailman. But
Quigley wouldn't really be happy II
he wasn't losing his money. Money
was made round, to go round, ne USED
to say, and there would be lots OF IL
in the world when he was dead ana
forgotten.
That's what Quigley said on pen
sion days. But he held very different
opinions upon the other 361 days OF
the year. Then money became to him
kind of deity. For this reason ne
was always an enigma to US.
When I first knew him he WAS
keeping a little soup shop in the bog
side, a crowded district in London
derry. He sold as many bowls OF
soup at a penny each as kept the woiI
from the door, anyhow, and he was
always bright and cheerful He had
an interesting and :" adventurous
career. He had been at the Fenian
Raid on Canada, and had spent seven
years in India. One evening as we
sat by his Preside, he related the fol
lowing episode in his career. 1t was

Not a Reading Community.

The town of Charleroi. Pa, has a
Carnegie library in which there are
several thousand volumes and the
town is roundly taxed to support the
institution. Last year, according to
a report by the librarian just made
public. there was one solitary patron
of the library The librarian ex-
pressed the opinion that the people Of
The town were so much interested in
roller skating, baseball games, bridge
whist and poker that they had no time
for books.

In Darkest Asia.

Mr.. E. l.. Harris, United States con.
sui at Smyrna, makes an interesting
report on conditions in Asia Minor
and in regard to electricity, says
The city of Smyrna. with nearly 400.
900 population, has no electric railway,
electric light or telephone. There are
cities all over Asia Minor varying in
size from 10000 to $4,000 inhabitants
where there are opportunities of get
ting concessions for electric light and
traction. 1t is strange for American
electrical concerns to turn their backs
on this field, with the excuse that
nothing under a $1,000, 900 concession
would attract them.

An Ambassadors Butler.

The practice of tipping is not entire
ly bad; the recipients at least derive
some benefit. A former butler of Mr.
Choate. American ambassador to Eng.
land before Mr. Reid. has built a large
hotel on the coast on the tips he re.
ceived from visitors to the American
embassy, whose servants make more
money than those attached to other
embassies, chiefly because Of the num-
Der of wealthy Americans who visit
the ambassador and scatter tips with
traditional generosity.

in 1867, and 1 was in my twentieth
year The old Forty-second was sta
toned at Hamilton, a town 30 miles
from Toronto. 1t was just after the
Fenian Raid Our barracks were for
merly an old store and were situated
at the extreme end of McNat street.
The barrack was built of stone, but
the out offices were of wood. The
barrack Enclosure was of wood also.
have said that it was after the
Fenian Raid Things had quieted
down. That was good for some of
us and bad for the rest. To some
natures adventure and excitement are
as necessary as food. 1t was so with
me.
Well, the lolling about the barrack
did not suit my tastes at all. So
took to reading cheap books of ad-
venture. The next best thing to be-
ing in a scrape is to read about those
who have been. They became tired
of things, so had l. They wanted to do
great deeds, so did l. They ran away
from comfortable homes into the
jungle, and hadn't |, too, ran away
from the best father and mother in
Tipperary intO-the army. Why the
army? 1t was a dull place after all.
Here, then, was I, almost in the cen
ter of the prairie country where all
these adventures had taken place,
with nothing better to do than wish
away time. Only two miles off was
the beginning Of the virgin forest.
There it was that Deerslayer had
fought whole bands of red Indians
single-handed, and covered himself
with glory. The army was all right
when there was fighting to be done,
but-wen, it didn't exactly suit me
in times of peace.
There was boy in the regiment
from my native village of Kill
sheelan, one Johnny Houlihan, the
store armourer. He was no scholar,
but he could fight, and after ALL that
was the great matter.

srwo Men and . Girl. At Montgomery
 ThQrfre

arwo Men and . Girl. At Montgomers
 Theatre.
 Tim Murphy. in a good, homely com edy, where the plot was unusual but not startling, and with Dorothy Sher. rod, who never fails to be good looking and adequate. delighted a large audience at the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday night. The play was ."rwo Men and a Girl" a comedy in three acts by Frederick Paulding and every. body liked 1t.
 It was very proper but not exciting In 1t Mir Murphy has a part not dis similar to the roles he has appeared in for the past several years. He was resonant, complacent. the comptroIiei of the situation, and the socio-politicai adviser of all who were in doubt. Mir Murphy was certainly master of the play. In his estimation of the light role he was eminently correct and ac- curate and in it's portrayal he was physically accurate. He left naught to be desired. He both knew and played the part well.
 Dorothy Sherrod. who was starred with Mir. Murphy, was not an unusual pleasure to the audience. Miss Snerrod was very pretty indeed, but her his trionic ability was not marked. In light scenes of superficial emotion Miss Sherrod was adequate. but at no time did she display competency to play out the incicldents of high comedy. Througout it all though, Miss Sherrod had the admiration of her audience.
 So far as character parts are con- cerned Olney J. Griffin in the role of Piper was easily the best. Mir. Griffin, in part that was by no means easy, injected into 1t an originality that was taking and general efficiency that was convincing. His playing was one of the strong points of the comedy.
 Edward ]. Hayes was creditabie as Harold, the younger brother. hard part to play. but one that might have been made better than Mir. Hayes cre- ated. Oscar Norfleet. in Richard Un- derwood. an easier part, was aboat of similar talent.
 James J. Dudley, as Bud" was bet ter and Waltsr Wahl, as Dr. Ailisford did a good piece of character work. Edwin Tanner as Josiah was good.
 Maude Neal, as Emily, was weak. She was pretty, but her voice was light and her emotional potentiaIity, though 1t was equal to climaxes, was not strik- ingly strong.
 Anne Duff as Jess was thoroughly pleasing, and played a light role gra ciously and gratefully.
 The plot Of the play is the love of John Crosby and Harold Crosby. broth CTS, for Julia. John is an earnest a light but loving person below that figure. Harold is unworthy but at- tractive and it is only by the dramat- ist,s arts that his vile wiles are not got around

Rumors Were Heard and Discussed of the Formation ef 6 Third Major

 New York. Oct 29--Rumors of the formation of a third pa1or league, of trouble to be made by the American Association and the Eastern League two strongest of the minor leagues. un- less they are given better protection and the right to draft freely from the clubs lower down in the classification; rumors of protests from the Pacific Coast League against the rule which declares outlaws all players who join the clubs of that league for the winter season. and rumors of dozen other sensations marked the opening of the annual meeting of the National As- sociation of Professional Base Ball Leagues In this city today.
 Practically nothing was accomplish ed at the opening session. After two or three addresses. the secretary's report and the appointment of a couple of committees. the meeting was adjourned until tomorrow. presumably for the purpose of discussion among the war rin gfactions with the idea of getting them together on the disputed points
 At the meeting. President Powers an- nounced that the Association was in ex- cellent shape and that the season had been a successful one. He referred to the rumors of the formation of a third major league but stated that the nat ional officers had no intimation of such a plan and he did not believe there was anything in 1t.
 harry Pulliam. president of the Ma 'tional League, made a brief speech in which he went over the present base ball situation. He said he did not ap- prove of the players in the major leagues playing In California after the close of the regular Eastern season. and stated that the National League clubs had been notified that their players must not be allowed to do so. .
 Referring to the rumor of the form alton of a new major league, he said that If the flag of disIoyalty to the na- tionai association vas raised the loyal leagues would be found solidly arrayed against it and any such effort would be fought to a finish.
 The secretary's report showed that ther are thirty leagues affiliated with the Association. comprising 195 clubs, representing PA cities and 4.S0o players.

% Per Cent of All Diseases the Result
 Of Undigested Purrefyfng Foods.
 Men of affairs, women of society and children Mitn active brains are too often sedentary in their habits, giv- sng little time to- exercise. To this evil is added that of high and irreg- ular living--as result, the stomach cannot stand the demands made upon 1t. The abused and overtaxed stomach does not properly do the work of di- gestion food taken in ferments and the poison permeates the whole system. The body loses in weight and becomes a prey for the attack of whatever dis ease it may encounter.
 Did it ever occur to you how busy that stomach of yours is? It only holds three pints. but in one year you force it to take in 2,400 pounds of material digest it and prepare it for assimilation into the blood. No won- der 1t rebels when overworked. We crowd it with steaks and pastry. irri- tate its juices with spices and acids. and expect the stomach to do its work. It can't do it.
 All over the inner layer of the stomach are glands which secrete the juices necessary to digestion. The en- the signal for these glands to do their work. The more the food. and the more indigestible. the greater demand upon them and upon the muscles of the wall adjoining.
 Think of the tons of high seasoned game sweetmeats and appetizers crammed into this little four-ounee mill, and then wonder If you will why you are dizzy or nauseated or consti- pated. Don't blame your stomach or curse your fate that you should be born SO unfortunate. Blame yourself and apply the remedy.

There's enough power in one gran of Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets to digest 5000 grains of ordinary food. so you needn't fear that anything you eat will remain in your stomach undigested.
 Stuart's Dyspepsa Tablets will rout the poison because they remove the cause-food fermentation. They are natures own cure for dyspepsa. The host of troubles dyspepsia is father of cannot be numbered. for a healthy stomach is the course of all health.

DELIBERATE OVER SIX HOURS

After more than six hours de- liberation. the jury trying pr. Frank Caffey. the negro physician. for mur- der. was without verdict at an early hour this morning. The twelve men considering the guilt or innocence of the defendant retired for the night Ii was said they. entertained little hopes of agreeing.
 The sensational Caffey case, alleging the killing of san infant, reached the jury at $40 o'clock yesterday after noon, after a day spent largely in speech-making by counsel. Conclusion of the cross-exanination of caffey brief testimony by. Miss Brown. foiir addresses to the jury by attorneys and the charge by Judge Thomas comprised the proceedings of the day.
 Caffey e eaiated about an hour in the court room. anticipating an early vcr- dict. He was then taken to the jail, where he spent the night.
 When Judge Thomas convened court again at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, Frank Caffey. the defendant, resumed the witness stand. He was in the chair about fifteen minutes. being subjected to a brief but rigid cross-examination by Solicitor Dent
 Different from what had been expect ed. Caffey proved to be the last and only witness for the defense.
 At the conclusion of his testimony, the State called again for Miss Hattie Brown. the woman who had testified Monday afternoon. Her supplementary testimony was brief. She was asked a few questions in connection with the telephone messages transmitted. during the time when it is alleged the crime of Caffey was committed.
 With the additional evidence of Miss Brown, all testimony. both for and against the defendant. was in and the speeches of attorneys began. Solicitor Dent closed the arguments.
