A man who had served two terms

"It is true, fellow citizens, that l

much as l should like to DO in the

At times when you don't feel just
right, when YOU have bad stomach
take something right away that will
assist digestion; not something that
will stimulate for a time but some
thing that will positively do the
very work that the stomach performs
under ordinary and normal condit-
ions, something that will make the
food digest. To do this you must
take natural digestant like Kodol
For Dyspepsia. Kodal' is a scien-
tlfic preparation of vegetable acids
with natural digestants and contains
the same juices found in healthy
stomach. Each dose will digest
more than 5000 grains of good food.
1t is sure to afford promnt relief; it
dlgests what you eat and is pleasant
to take. Sold by WI Wallace, M D.

ANECD0TE OF A FLOWER.
A Russian NobIsman Cav Sentur
Plant It's Mar

About two centuries ago Rus
sian nobleman travelling in Mex
CO saw and admired the maguey
plant, which is native of Mexico.
The plant was so much admired
by the Russian for its beauty and
utility that he was Eager to have
growing specimens id his own coun-
try. So when leaving Mexico he
procured some roots to take home
to the czar as present.
On his first visit to court, after
he reached the capital city, he told
OF the wonderful plant and asked
permission Of the car to present to
him the specimens which he had.
The car graciously granted his re-
quest and gave the roots to the
court gardener, who promised to
give the plants his best attention,
but unfortunately before he could
plant them properly as he intended
he was taken suddenly i'll and died
without having accomplished any
thing.
Another gardener was appointed.
In the meantime the roots lay in the
sack in which they were first placed.
The new gardener, not knowing
their value, threw the sack away,
snd it lay unheeded in a corner Of
the garden day after day. Some
time afterward his little daughter
picked up one of the roots and in q
playful mood planted it, but paid
no further attention to it. The
car had forgotten all about it. In
course of time the ruler died and
also the second gardener.
The plant in after years pot out a
few spikes for leaves, but did not
thrive in the cold air Of Russia. II
grew very slowly, and its origin was
not known to an, one save the wife
of the former gardener and the
child that planted it.
Years passed, and still the strange
plant, with its thick, long, straight
leaves, now nearly six feet tall did
not bloom, but as it grew taller it
attracted notice, and the new car
sometimes booked at it and wonder
ed If it would ever bloom.
I'm time he, too, died, and still
the maguey hoomed not.
But Just after the coronation OF
another car q stalk shot up from
the root of the plant and rapidly
grew to the height of twenty feet
Soon many clusters of small buds
appeared, which slowly unfolded
and became white blossoms The
wonderful plant had bloomed at
last.
The gardener said it was 100
years old and had bloomed m hon
or Of the new car. Word was sent
to him, and he and his whole court
visited and admired the flowers and
the plant.
The poor exile from the sunny
skies of Mexico had earned its re-
ward and new name, for ever since
that day it has been known as "the
century plant"
