haunt of the poet Bloomfield during
his visits to Shooters Hill, contains a

epitaphs.' One of these, on Master
James Darling, aged ten," teaches a
lesson of moderation during the pres

AS, however, the original sentry
could not identify the particular cat
he had seen on the evening of the day
of Sir Roberts death, it was decided
that every cat which passed out of the
main entrance after dark should be
saluted as the avatar of his excel
lency. Thus for over quarter of a
century every cat that passed out
after sunset had military honors paid
to it not by Hindu sentinels only, but

ship to compel men and horses to pa rade for two hours before beginning the afternoon exhibition, especially when it is considered that two shows every day are the rule with Buffalo Birs exhibition. By doing away with the street pageant men and horses are fresh for their performance and it would seem that the public is entitled 'tO a perfect performance, which it pays for, rather than to a free street parade which gives, at best, but a poor idea of the magnitude of the Wild West exhibition. Another reason which has served to influence the decision is the fact that merchants in the cities vis- ited object to parades because they in terrupt business and interfere with general traffic. So strenuous is this objection that in many cities a permit to parade cannot be secured and in other places the fee demanded is set at such an exhorbitant rate that it practically prohibits street pageants. In any event the management Is satisfied that the public prefer an afternoon per formance given with snap and vigor, displaying the best efforts of the par ticipants. rather than to have their en- tertainment interfered with through the fatigue of the participants after two or three hours of street parading in all sorts of weather.

PATRICKS EMPLOYMENT
 WHILE ON THE COAST
4 New Line of Antiquities to Be Placed Before Sonnoisseurs.

F. F. Patrick. his mother, Mrs. Mar tha Patrick and her companion, Mrs Parker have returned from San Diego where they have spent the summer. Mrs. Patrick's health has been much improved and Mr. Patrick began talk ing on weight but he lost all that what he had gained during al brief stay at Os Angeles.
 Mir Patrick's stay on the coast was not wholly one of rest. In fact. he rested very little. A considerable part Of his time was devoted to working out new designs of hieroglyphics with which the bare spaces on the perpen- dicular rocks within convenient dis tauce of Phoenix will shortly be dec orated for the entertainment of win ter visitors They will be much more artistic than any that Mr. Patrick has heretofore devised and immensely more artistic than the crude efforts of prehistoric artisans.
 Mir Patrick also put in a part of his vacation in the preparation of models for ancient relics. The models will soon be in the hands of the man ufacttrers and it is believed that the output will be ready for the holiday trade. The new relics will be guaran- teen to purchasers to be more ancient than any that have been previously offered for sale here or anywhere else.
 This antique relic business has been too much neglected in the past but now that collectors have begun to take an interest in the work of the prehistoric races. MT. Patrick thinks that appreciation should be properly rewarded and he will shortly be able to offer the public something worth while.

NO WILD WEST PARADE.
Buffalo Bill Will Not Give a Street Pageant When Re Visits this City

For man- reasons the management of Buffalo BilTs Wild West has decided to abandon the street parade which has. in years past, been the usual thing with travelling organizations of this size and character. It is set forth that in many instances the late arrival of the trains bearing the paraphernalia
 makes it possible to give a parade and start the afternoon performance on time. Through these delays the public is compelled to experience te- dious wait, while the work of prepar- ing for the performance goes on. Again it is considered an unnecessary hard

Stomach Gases
 and Torpid LiverS
Give Way Before the Peculiar Pur- flying Power of Stuart's Char
 coal lozenges.
A Trial Package Sent Free.

The foul gases of the stomach and the torpid action of the liver are easy victims for charcoal to overcome.
 This great natural cleaner and ab- sorbent will most certainly be rel ished by a system afflicted with gaseous or sluggish tendencies.
 Charcoal has long been known as a great absorbent of gas. A painful of charcoal will positively purify a room filled with foul odors and decay. Its absorbing ratio is one hundred times greater than it's own volume
 The ancients gave charcoal for many human ills successfully. The North American Indians used it for snake bite. poison from eating wild herbs and cured what they called had medicine" with it.
 Willow charcoal seems to be the best product for human use, and no doubt the peculiar curative property of the willow is represented in a chemical quality in its charcoal.
 Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges are pure willo wand sweet honey blended by tremendous power and compress sion into a very palatable loZenge. Two or three lozenges can be eat after meals will prevent the process of digestion from producing noXiOus gases. They will vivify a lazy liver and aid every organ which is most likely to be overcome through its con- tact with impurities.
 They cleanse the stomach and in testines, bring purity and sweetness out of fermentation and decay and aid digestion by allaying gas. The beneficial effects are made evident after each meal when you use char coal as Stuart prepares it. To allay gas at night they are excellent and one arises in the morning without that terrible nauseating bad breath which destroys appetite and renders one miserable.

In closing this paper wish to read the

tent of fire insurance business as now

be as large as those Of all trade. There
is practically no combustible property
that is not insured against fire. Without
such a system modern commerce would
be impossible.
The fire insurance policy, or the as
signment OF a certain interest in IL. is at
tached to the mortgage given by the
farmer for money to build his new barn:

RAISE BANANAS IN NORTH
Fruit VIII Grow in HothOuaeS. Ont
Requires Careful Handling

Bananas can be raised in Northern
States. according 10 Edward B. Beals. a
noted horticulturist OF Springfield. Mass
OF course, though, IL would be necessary
to bring them up in hothouses and the
shoots would have to be carefully trans
ported from the tropics. so there is no
likelihood that banana growing will
spring into profitable line Of business.
Mr.. Beals recently began an experiment
with the banana at his hothouse in
Springfield. AS the plant cannot be
raised from the seed. he sent South for
one Of the little shoots which spring up
after the old tree dies. This was sent 10
him under high temperature. and he be-
gan to raise it in his hothouse.
Under glass the plant has fiourished in
excellent fashion, he says In two
months he expects that the fruit will be
ready for eating. and at that time he in
tends to invite a number of horticultur-
lists to visit him and eat the Northern
grown bananas.
