laugh.
It's only a fruit bat" he explained.
They feed on the banyan figs, you
know"
In the reaction from this false alarm,
both men relaxed and began to yield
to the effects of the tramp across the
mud-tlats. Arranging the reeds as
best they could they stretched out on
either side of Miss Leslie and fell
asleep in the middle of an argument
on how the prospective leopard was
mostly likely to attack.
Miss Leslie remained awake for
two or three hours longer Naturally
she was more nervous than her COM
panions, and she had been refreshed
by her afternoons nap. Her nervous
ness was not entirely due to the wild
beasts. Though Blake had taken pains
to secure himself and his companions
in loops of the creeper, fastened to
the branch above. Winthrope moved
about so restlessly in his sleep that
the girl feared he would roll from the
hollow
At last her limbs became so
cramped that she was compelled to
change her position. She leaned
back upon her elbow, determined to
rise again and maintain her watch
the moment she was rested. But
SleeD was close uDOn her There was
a lull in the louder noises of the jun
gle. Her eyes closed and her head
sank lower. In a little time it was Iy-
ing upon Winthrope's shoulder and she
was fast asleep.
As Blake had asserted, the mos
quitoes had either been blown away
by the cyclone or did not fly to such
a height. None came to trouble the
exhausted sleepers.

swallow another mouthful of the
luscious cream.
Toward the end Miss Leslie had be-

fell asleep while Winthrope was yet
arranging it for her Blake had
turned his back on her and was staring

when Winthrope hobbled around and
sat down on the palm trunk beside
him.

all take a nap?"
And when they awoke, they were
all dead men, remarked Blake.

that's Scripture, Pat, Scripture. Any
way, you'd think it no joke to wake
up and find yourself going down the
throat OF a hippo"
"Hippo?"
Dozens of them over in the river.
Shouldn't wonder if they've all landed
andre tracking me down by this
time"
But hippopotami are not carnivor-
ous-they're not at all dangerous. IN

That may be; but I'm not taking

What can we do? The captain
told me that there are both lions and

Nice place for them, too, around
these trees added Blake. Lucky
for US, they're night-brds mostly

What the Bereaved Customer Told the
Sympathetic Bartender.

An old German woman became Ill

hospital for treatment. The first day
she was there when her husband
called to inquire about her the doctor
said she was improving. On the sec

improving and on the third and fourth
days the assurance was the same This
was very encouraging to the old Ger

day he was told that his wife was
dead. In his grief he sought his IA
vorite saloon to drown his sorrow.

About Sales and Reading Ads.

The Forrest City Furniture Compa- nv had special sale of curtains and rugs last Monday. The sale was well advertised by large display advertise ment in this paper, "at top Of column on local news page and next to reading natter" and with handbills.
 The sale was success, but there were twenty or thirty ladies who acknowl- edged to the proprietors of this store that they had not seen their announce ment.
 This is passing strange.
 Many of the ladies, we know, are regular readers of this paper. They are enterprising, economical and love- | ly housekeepers. They are women who are intelligent, and should be in- terested in sale of any kind where their interests are affected. It is a reflection therefore upon their sagaci- ty and economy to acknowledge that they missed reading this and perhaps other advertisements which were Of a peculiarly interesting nature to them and of the utmost importance.
 The Furniture Company will have another sale next Monday. It is and there are several other sales adyer- tised in this paper, besides many other advertisements, Of the utmost interest to all We hope every intel ligent and thrifty housewife and read CT of The Times will read them and take advantage of them, not only for their own sake, and the sake of their purse, but for our sake, tine Furniture Company's sake and the Lords sake And we furthermore hope these ladies, God bless them, they are all our very good friends, will take the same pains to tell them that they have read the ad this week as they did to tell them that they didn't last week.

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis- ease in the Body, and an Easy Way to Cure it.

Take care of the stomach and you will have little need for the doctor.
 When the stomach begins to show signs of disorder; when the food digests slowly and with discomfort; when you have heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy, you are in a condition that needs atten. ton.
 Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis ordered stomach by strengthening and toning up the digestive organs, driving the badly digested food into the bowels and thence out of the system.
 Constipation is nearly always pres ent when the stomach becomes sour or disordered. Prickly Ash Bitters con. tains the medicinal qualities which act as restorative and regulator for the stomach and bowels. It strengthens the digestive organs, cures constipation and prevents the return of bilious conditions.
 Thousands of people who have re- ceived lasting benefit from this great remedy willingly testify to it's power in curing indigestion, constipation and kid. ney trouble.
 q suffered from constipation for years. and tried many remedies. but Prickly Ash Bitters is the only medicine that has ever done me any good Through its use am now in good health and entirely free from all traces of my former trouble."-B. P. SIrGALL, winnsboro, Louisiana

The Old World and It's Ways.
By William Jennings Bryan.

This remarkable book of 575 pages, yoluminously illustrated and elegantly bound, has been issued by "The Thompson Publishing Company of St. Louis, Mo-, and is sold by subscrip- tion.
 We would advise our young friends who are out of employment to seek the agency and canvass for this book. It is certainly one of the most reada- ble, entertaining and edifying vol umes we have read in long time. It was almost like retracing our first trip around the world, with less than one 'thousandth of the money and one hundredth of the time required for our first trip"
 The great problems of civilization, religion, philosophy and government in Japan, China, the Philippines, India, as well as Europe, are presented in clear light by great brain.
 MT. Bryan was accompanied on this trip by his wife and two younger chil- dren, William J., Jr., and Grace, aged Is and II respectively. They started Thursday, September 2l, 1905, and reached home September 5, 1906, six teen days less than one year. While most of this trip was in the North Temperate Zone, they were below the equator a few days in Java, and for while above the artic circle in Nor way.
 This book ought to be in every home where there are boys and girls with brains and promise. St. Louis Chris tian Advocate.
