Slow eating will solve one-half the

with indigestion and weak stomach can
with care and the use of Mona stom-

healthy condition, so that they can eat

After a few days use of Mi-o-na

symptoms OF a weak stomach-will

To Preach the Gospel.
The latest escapade-if such it can be called
of Mr. Pat Grove is that he has accepted Christianity
and will henceforth preach the gospel. As con-
vert to Christianity Mr. Grove is very acceptable but
as an expounder and Interpreter OF the bible he does
not appear very promising material Unless he
possesses unusual intelligence and great magnetic
force of personality he will not appeal very strongly
to the average audience. II he contemplates follow
ing in the footsteps of Mr.. Sunday he may make
comparative success of his new calling Still, few
persons would want to listen to Mr.. Sunday contnu-
ously have him their pastor, for he is too
sational and insults where he should advise and
courage.
It is true that Pat Grove is extremely pictur-
esque character but much of it attaches to the police
departments of this country and is rather unsavory
Perhaps if the truth were known this much adver-
tised individual is adopting the mantle of Christian
ity for what there is in it, Nowadays the average
travelling evangelist with dark past seems TO be
good drawing card, and the more sensational and
vulgar are his remarks the larger the audiences
Most persons go to hear these to be entertained
not to get religion, for there is not much Christian
ity in their DISCOURSE Pat Grove might turn out to
be second Apostle Paul, but the chances that
he will not For time people will go to hear him,
that he really has reformed and turns out to be a
good speaker. This will be glorious ending to a
checkered career.

and he claimed he owned his modest fortune Of one
hundred thousand dollars to his luck in finding

diculousness is selfevident that only those who
wish to be deceived are led astray.
The person who is superstitious is firm believer

avoided the transaction of business certain un-

than habit-or hobby-similar to stamp and coin
collecting fads It's indulgence is harmless, and it
helps to contribute amusement and healthful diver
sions to romantic situations. This old gentleman in
White Plains got great deal of outdoor exercise in
his persistent hunt for clovers and perhaps
to this form of recreation he owes his to

Mystery Stories.

Mystery Stories.
A A. CONAN DOYLE the originator of the clever
Sherlock Holmes stories, has again revived his hero
and is now writing few "reminiscences of the cele-
brated character who made it's creator famous. As
writer of mystery stories Mr. Doyle has few contem-
poraries to equal his genius. With great cunning
he throws veil of impenetrable darkness around a
murder, and then with marvellous shrewdness he pulls
aside the ve inch by inch, and the hideous crime in
all it's qualifications is revealed In Sherlock Holmes
reasoning there is nothing left to chance but all is
the result of calm observation and hard thinking
also, a package of Shag smoking tobacco.
Like Finlay Peter DUNES character-Mr.
Dooley-Sherlook Holmes work always holds the
readers fascination until fms is reached. Further
more, Mr. Doyes detective stories free from the
vulgarity that is usually conspicuous feature of
dime novels. There is no red streak running thru
them but they are told in clean, masterful manner
Let hope that A. Conan Doyle will continue to
keep Sherlock Holmes employed in Baker St. and
thus give many more of his brilliant observations
and deductions.

The stage will soon be enriched by dramatiza-
ton of the DIR. Rustin tragedy that has been occupy
ing the court calendar at Omaha, Neb. The play
will follow infinitely the details of the tragedy and
the seekers after the morbid will find sufficient grue
some incident to satisfy their cravings for the un-
usual. AS portrayal of every day life such play
is likely to be fiat failure, for such occurrences are
common. Altho there may be sufficient latitude in
this tragedy for the display of considerable histrl-
onic ability, it will have to be staged by capable
hands to prevent it from becoming frost.
Nowadays it seems to be the practice of certain
playwrghts to grasp at straws for fitting theme to
attract the attention of the public; and they are
often sharply rebuked by the public in staying away
from such plays. The death of Dr. Rustin might
be so presented as to contain powerful human in
eres story; but if the play only gives the sordd de-
tails of crime, it will shock the artistic taste of
cultured theatre goers.

ONCE more does Christmas dawn upon the
world with it's cheer and goodwill towards mankind.
Today the spirit of the day is at its height and good
generous persons everywhere providing for the
poor and the unfortunate so they, too, partake
of the joys of Christmas. It is day that even the
most hardened individuals open their purse strings
and bring little gladness into the hearts of the
weary and the oppressed by giving them little of
their abundance.

he has been wishing for Even grown ups this
anniversary become enthusiastic and extraordinarily
liberal towards each other. Large manufacturing
concerns remember their faithful employers, and
commercial and banking houses vie with each other
in handsomely rewarding their trusted help.
To many perhaps the day will not be a joyful
one. Some one will be missing from the festive
board, or the husband may be in durance and the
home thus unprovded for. To them the day will
