Why l Lost $!
 My Job.
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me Can
 not Satisfy Their Employers.

T believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who daily lose their places for reasons they do not know, and probably would not believe When their last pay envelope comes along. It Is usually Your ser vices no longer required" If the truth were known, the reason for their un- ceremonious removal would probably be that their usefulness was destroyed because of some mental worry, bodily ailment or general indisposition. These things, as we all know, are the most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost because of a headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid, active and free from outside influence or worry, or else we go down to failure with the throng of "floaters" who go from one place of employment to another, giving no satisfaction 10 others or to themselves. constantly growing older and less useful, with no ambition, no will power. and no hope.
 Every man requires from every other man the best that Is in him. But no man can use or get the best that is in himself until he is first free from all fretful indispositions and worries.
 That was my trouble. I was full of troubles. That's why lost my job My stomach in the first place was al- ways out of order, and 1 was worry ing about 1t and my mind grew cloudy, and slow I made mistakes, and grew grouchy That was the end.
 There are thousands like me, going about with quick lunch" faces, dys- peptic manners, and repulslve atmos- pheres. No employer wants such mems services.
 Take my advice IA healthy stomach is half the battle. for it keeps your mind clear and your face rosy. have a healthy stomach now and hold a good position, and my employer is satisfied, and so am l.
 I started to take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which I was told were good for the worst cases of indigestion and dyspepsia. The first two tablets made q wonderful difference in my condi- ton.

 ""rhorns and Orange Blossoms is a play of the kind that leaves mem ory it Is simple in construction, strong in dramatic climax, hilariously funny and pathetically sad; in word 1t is a story of laughs and tears
 And such Is the general verdict of those who witness the production. It has a soothing effect: the story while working on to the highest emotional pitches Is restful because it is natural; there is nothing forced, nothing over drawn. The players like their different roles between they offer a wide scope for the display of hlstronic talent ani in each theme is splendid opportun!- ty for individual work. The production nically beautiful as money, time. la bor and experience could devise ani in offering "'rhorns and Orange Bios. Nsoms' in this city the Rowland X.

Blackmar, formerly counsel to the public service commission of New York city. Gov ernor Hughes had nominated him for the supreme court, to succeed Justice Willard Bartlett in the supreme court in Brooklyn. Messrs, Grady and Me Carren insisted that the governor should have named democrat, and denounced his partisan course.

VALUE OF woMAN's OATH.
Law School Students Are Told How tc
 Treat Her Testimony.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-HRemember, gentle men of the bar. an oath means noth- ing to a woman," said James Hamil- ton Lewis to 200 students of the North western University Law school last night. IA woman always comes to testify as a witness for one of two reasons. Either she comes through sense of affection or duty to those whom she loves, or she comes to satis- fly what she regards as a perfectly le- gitimate feeling of resentment.
 If it is the fist of these she will come through fire and water to testify. and she will see things as her friend views them. Sincerely and earnestly She will testify that things are as she thinks they ought to be. and you may cross-examine until you have exhaust ed the vocabulary and you will get nothing from her but her ideas of what they ought to be. A woman has no idea of the sanctity of an oath, and a woman will repeat when on cath any, thing which she will say when not on oath.
 If she comes as your witness, im- pelled by a feeling of resentment, be careful not to let her tell why she came. Get your main point out of her as expeditiously as possible and let her go. Do not branch off into collateral matters or she will take the first op- portunity to vindicate herself for ap- bearing by telling the grudge she has against the defendant.
 "On the other hand. if you are cross- examining her. be careful not to let her state the grievance that has brought her in as a witness against your client unless you are sure of what it is. for no matter what a woman does, if 1t be ar act impelled by natural and legitimate affection, the world will ever forgive her.

FLORIDA STANDS
THE HEAVY FIRE
MONITOR COMES THROUGH TEST
OF BIG SHELLS AND HEAv-
lest EXPLOSIVES NICELY.
Finely Balanced Mechanism Worked
With Perfect Ease After Terrific
eombardment from Big Guns-Ex-
hibition Will Mean More Turrent
Construction In Navy.

Old Point Comfort, Va, June l.
The biggest naval gun, the heaviest
projectile and the highest explosive
known, combined with close range and
deadly aid, were last week allowed to
work their full havoc on the turret
plate of the Monitor Florida
aF Victory for Turrets.
The result is declared to be a victory
for iturret construction and this not
withstanding the eleven-inch hardened
steel plate was blackened, broken, the
seans OF the turret sprung and the
rivets and loosened and
twisted.
Machinery Not Damaged.
1t was not five minutes after the
terrible impact that the finely balanc
ed mechanism Of the turret was be-
Ing worked with perfect ease and the
tw~elye-inch u on the left side was
trained at will. Inside of the turret,
where stand the gunners and gun crew,
the havoc was much less apparent
than from the outside. Examination
showed that of the many delicately ad-
iusted instruments for fire control,
sighting and operating the turret, few
if any were out of working order.
Could Have Continued Fight.
"If this had happened in battle the
Florida would be fighting yet" said
one of the real admirals with en-
thusiasm. Then followed a futile at
tempt to destroy the newly designed
fighting mast on the stern OF the Flor
ida. After five shots of the guns had
gone through it the mast stood firm.
Would Not Waste Shells.
Forty shots would not bring 1t
down, and no enemy would waste am
munition and time shooting at it."
was the expert comment.
1t was predicted that all new ships
will be equipped with battle masts of
this design.
