The boys are to have farm work of a

in other ways, all of which will tend
to tighten the labor of the agricultur-

The pope recently entertained the
members of the Sacred college with
the recital of how a certain gold coin
had been given to him as a Jubilee gift
by the diocese of Acqui. This coin
was discovered in 1898. while excava.
tons were being made for the founda-
uon of new church at Acqui. Upon
examination it WIS found to be the
only coin in existence of the Deriod
OF Innocent TX. The diocese of Ac0ui
was unable to pay the architect who
had drawn the plans for the new
church, so it gave him the coin with
the understanding that if he sold it
for more than $1,000, the amount of
his bill, the surplus should be returned
TO the diocese. Later the clergy col
lected the $1,000 bought the coin. and
presented it to the pope This coin
was the only one lacking to complete
the Vatican collection of coins issued
under all the popes.

Miss" or "Mrs,2 n

A number of unmarried English
women, who have reached an age
about which it would be ungenerous to
inquire too closely, have been com
planning in the papers of the rule that
all married women shall be called
Mrs" aud all unmarried women
Miss" no matter what their ages may
be. They point out the fact that a
boy, who is Master" in his early life,
becomes MI" by the mere lapse Of
time, whether he marIies or not; but
that a girl who begins as Miss con-
tinues to be Miss" until she marries.
This was not always the case, as the
curious may discover by looking up
the history of Miss Mrs" and
Mistress" The English women main-
tain that the title by which they are
called, as spinsters, is not conducive
to the Difference which is accorded to
married women, and which they de-
mand for themselves. The remedy
they propose-'that all women be
called Mrs" after reaching the age of
40-would be of doubtful efficacy
Men would so on calling their women
acquaintances Miss" until they re-
ceived what the newspapers call off
Cial' notice that the age limit was
passed. The old "darky" woman
stated a fact of general application,

said that the happiest person is an old
maid when she has quit strugglin'."

is called Miss" or Mrs" when her
hair is turning, is still "strugglin'.'

HOUND ON A LONG CHASE.
Followed Fox for Five Days and
Nights Over Cape Cod Sands.

Following close on the heels Of a
big gray fox, running for five days and
nights, covering a distance of prob
ably 200 miles through the woods and
along the sandy shores of Cape Cod.
only to have the fox escape by wear
ing him out, is the record of a hound
four years old, one of three valuable
dogs that party of hunters recently
took with them to hunt foxes in the
woods at Wellneet.
The dog chased the fox, or perhaps
several foxes-for it may have been
switched off from one TO another in
its travels-and did not show up after
starting the fox. After waiting for
hours for the dog to return the hunt
ers went back to the village, expect
ing the dog would give up the chase.
Night came on and they became
alarmed, fearing the dog had been
lost.
A local gunner who accompanied
the fox hunters into the woods said he
would fine the dog and ship him home
the next day. Inquiries were made
through the villages, but no one had
seen the dog and it appeared as if he
must have been drowned in crossing
the swamps on the thin ice At the
end of five days dog was seen fol-
lowing big gray fox through the
village of East Wareham.
The man who saw the fox as it
limped through his back yard rushed
into the house for his gun. AS he
came out he saw a hound limHng
along and vainly trying to bark; the
fox had disappeared and the dog,
which could hardly stand, dropped in
its tracks nearly dead from exhaus-
tion. The man gave the dog food and
drink in small quantities and in a few
days 1t seemed 10 be all right On the
collar was the name of the owner, to
whom the man wrote, and in few
days he came after it. 1t was then
learned that the dog started the fox
in Wellfeet and for five days and
nights had been chasing.
He had been seen chasing the fox
at Ellisville, on the shores of Cape
Cod bay, and near White Island in the
cranberry district; he had crossed the
harbors and rivers and had given I'D
when nearly dead in East Wareham,
90 miles from where the hunt was
started. 1t was said, The dog was
mere skeleton and the fox seemed as
If he had been running for MONTH"
There are instances on Cape Cod
where dogs have followed foxes for
days at time, but none of the old
gunne!s remembers any such perform
ance as this one.-Forest and Stream.

It's Stomach C0t0S7f

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental reA-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
peculisrity.
But there are large number OF peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fieshy
but for some digestive arrangement,
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, Hydrocarbons. This
class OF foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division of the ali
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, if not
wholly, the work of the pancreatic
Juice. This Juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi-
ton Of acid. A hyperacidity of the
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or emulsified, and the system Is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is ca
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes hyperacidity of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, if the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
tion will take place. This creates a
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then.
only remains for the patient to eat a
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes it's place.

We know some men in this city

sends to some catalogue
house for anything that they
handle in their store, it causes
them to get awful mad, and curse
at the guilty ones and give the
town the devil. The first you
know these same ones have gone
and sent away for something
themselves that could be bought
right here for the same money
and just as good an article. Only
Monday there was a man in the
city representing a Minneapolis

point out to you several business
men that ordered their fall suits
