 A certain troop of cavalry had about writer took patns--knowing the men personally--to inquire as to the reason of the assertions Most of the men left because they hated and despised the first sergeant. claiming that they did not come into the service to be and never could be. their superior in intellect and education.
 At the commencement of the Span- sh-American war, when the army was increased to war strength, intelligent pon-commissioned officers received greater pay. What was the result The old soldiers who could hardly write their own names were promoted to the vacancies caused by the in- crease. In great many cases where good sense and intelligent discipline pretense now hold full sway. Organi- Nation commanders depend on the old soldier first sergeants, and these lat ter take advantage of that trust, with the idea that 1t was their general su- periority which caused their promo the result? Desertions. What does the new recruit expect from those in authority when he joins his troop or company? He expects to find that those in authority are the most intel ligent. What Is the most natural re- tense where he should find intelli- gence? He Is disappointed. No man can respect ignorance.

\ Voice From The Stomach
n BloodIess Eight, Between a Tablet
 and Q Habit-The Tablet Wins.

h B1o0dIess Eight Between q Tablet
 and Habit-The Tablet Wins.
 At the age of 22. Clarence had good digestion. He had gastric juice that could dissolve doughnuts and turn ap- pleskins into good blood corpuscles.
 At the age of "A he began to be profuse about the waist and lean back wards. He also began to cultivate several chins. In his new-found pride he began to think it his duty to gorge himself on everything, the good and the bad, for appetite feeds on appetite and every good thing is abused.
 His pictures showed that he took on weight after he put his collar on.
 At the age of 26 Clarence married and went to boarding. On top of all this. he attended oyster suppers and wine dinners, which reduced the size of his collar from Is 1-2 to IS. With still abiding faith in the strength of his stomach he gulped his meals, and chewed them afterwards.
 At the age of 2s Clarence began, to hear an inward voice--a warning from the stomach. After each meal, he would feel bloated---and belching be- came habit.
 He began to be 8 light eater--and c heavy thinker. He tried to think out cure. for now he would sit down at his meals absolutely disgusted at the thought or sight of anything to eat.
 He would sit down at his meals without the trace of an appetite, just because 1t was time to eat.s
 He would often feel gnawing, un- satisfied "stiIl-hungry" feeling in his stomach, even after he was through eating. whether his meals was well cooked or not. s
 And he suffered a good many other things with. his stomach that he could not explain, but that made him grouchy, miserable, out -of- -sorts and generally sour on everybody and every thing.
 Finally he read an account. some thing like this. about the truly won derful results obtained from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet in all cases of stom- ach trouble, dyspepsia. and so on. He and took the whole box. When he started, he had little faith---and less appetite. When he finished he had absolute faith-and more appetite. and more good cheer. Things began to taste different and better to him.
 Now he has no more dyspepsia, no more indigestion, no more loss of ap- petite. brash, irritation, burning sehsa- tion, heartburn, nausea, eructations, bad memory, or loss of vim and vigor. Remember, one ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest for you 3.0o0 grains of food, just as 1t did for Clarence.
 This relieves your stomach of the work of digesting until your stomach can get strong and healthy again. Your stomach has been overworked and abused. It's fagged out. It needs rest.
 Let .Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do the work of your stomach. You will be surprised how fine you'll feel after eating, and how lusciously goo1 every thing will taste to you.
 Heed the cali of the stomach now' There's a world of good cheer in one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets--at any drug store, soc.

THEATRICAL

Two abominable habits cling to Will
mington theatre e-goers-coming in late
and rising to leave before the curtain
falls This was so pronounced during
productions this week. and particular
~ at the Grand Opera House last
night. that it is well 10 speak Of Il. The
hour set for the rise OF the curtain IS
well advertised. and no patron of the
theatre here can plead ignorance OF
IL. When the chorus came on the
stage last night for the final song in
"The Spring Chicken" there immedi-
ately began a scufiie OF feet in the
balcony. Even in the circle-yes, and
in the orchestra chairs. many arose,
put on wraDs. etc. and greatly dis
turbed those who-and rightly-were
as interested in the last chorus as
the first. Then again the pleasure Of
the first act was disturbed by late
comers. Nixon and Zimmerman do
not allow this in their Philadelphia
play houses. and il is earnestly desired
that Resident Manager Johnson. Of
the Grand Opera House. should be en-
powered to enforce such an order here.
