KASPARIL..L.A

This sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for a world Of
troubles. p For arrangements Of the di-
gestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion Of the system, aiding in the
processes Of digestion aud assimilation Of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities Of the bowels, con-
stipation aud the long list Of troubles
directly traeeable 10 those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi.
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. II is a
strengthening tonic Of the highest value.
If Il fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

SOLD ARMS TO SPAIN.
The Unpleasant Predicnment Into
Which an Exporting House
Got Itself.

"There are lots Of queer inside stories
connected with the war" said visitor
in th, lobby Of hotel, but think can
tell the very oldest Of the lot. | don't
care to call any names, but the facts are
these: Late last summer a certain
manufacturing company, one Of the
biggest in its line in the world, received
quite large order from the Spanish
government for supplies 70 be sent to
Cuba. There was nothing remarkable
in This, because Spain was at that time
a liberal customer in the American mar
ket, but it already owed pretty good
stiff bill to the house in question, and
there was some doubt about filing the
last requsition. However, the stuff
was finally sent on promise Of a 90-day
settlement in full. That was in Septem-
Der, 1897" relates the New Orleans
Times-D Democrat.
when the 80 days elapsed a small
payment was made and the balance
promised directly after New Years.
Some time in January there was anoth-
er payment and another big promise.
On February Is, as yon may happen to
recall the Maine was blown to smith
Greens i'll Havana harbor, and in the
swift succession of events that fol-
lowed the bill was simply ignored by
the Spanish authorities. That, very
briefly, is the commercial history of
the case. and the house now finds itself
in peculiar predicament.
st is possible that it might get its
money by an appeal to the president,
but as most of the stuff furnished to the
dons was used as munitions of war
against our own troops it is reluctant
to make the claim for fear of exciting
popular prejudice. The amount in
volved runs away up into the thou
sands, but they figure that it would be
more than offset by loss of home trade
So they have concluded to keep their
mouths shut and charge it to profit and
loss"

WOULD GET OFF ANYWAY.
Woman In "A Chicago
street Car,

The scene was North State street
car, and the time something after six
at night. The vehicle was crowded with
men and women seated closely togeth-
err. A number of men were standing
also, when, just before the conductor
rang the signal for starting the car
in its homeward direction, fashion
ably dressed woman entered the door
way and raised her arm TO catch one
of the leather straps for support. The
men had their evening newspapers, and
perhaps they did not notice, but the
car was well over the bridge before one
of them arose and offered her a seat,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
mo, thank YOU" replied the wom-
an Of fashion, sweetly and smilingly,
II really prefer to stand"
And the man took her at her word
and sank back easily into the vacated
seat.
A minute afterward the person next
him, an old Irish laborer, rose to his
feet, and again the woman endeavored
to intercept the proffered courtesy,
saying;
Thank you, but perfer to stand"
II don't care a hair Of me head wheth-
er you care TO stand or not" replied
the man stolidly. But I've reached
me corner, and I'll get off anyway"

ALL GIVE HIM THE ROAD.

Perennial in its power Of attraction
Is the fire engine dashing along the
city's streets on the way TO "A fire, and
1t fascinates all And every driver and
every motorman, every man handling
anything on wheels gives the fireman
the right of way and he does so spon-
taneously and gladly, says the New
York Sun.
And often many drivers hold up all
at once TO give the driver of the fire
engine his choice Of ways, as they
would where two streets cross, and
they do this before they see the en-
CINE at all. But they know it's coming
and they hear its whistle.
Here was an engine coming along
cross street to Broadway, whistle n
calling. At the first note Of il every
motormAn or driver who CHANGED at
the moment 10 be near the junction of
Broadway and this street, stopped
short, leaving the central space unoc-
cupied, and leaving clear channels
away from il in every direction.
None of these drivers could know
which way the fire driver would want
to turn when he got to the corner, so
they all stopped, TO give him free
road in whichever way he wanted to

dashing round the corner they all
started IN again on their several ways.
But so far as they could they had given

MOUNTAIN PEAK MAY FALL.
Tourists Are In Great Danger from
Threatening Mountain Top
I'm the Alps.

Although it has been rumored
throughout the Alpine region for
some time that the Altels-the great
mountain peak which rears itself hieh
above the famous Gemmi pass-was in
a more or less shaky condition, no one
expected to hear that there was any
danger of It's falling, Now, however,
II is definitely stated that the Altels
is on the point OF splitting in two and
may come laundering down almost
any time, says a report from Neu-
chatel, Switzerland.
Damage enough win be done IL the
famous peak does fall in any case, but.
IL is to be hoped that the crash win
come before the next tourist season
begins, for the Gemmi, above which
the Altels towers, is used to a greater
extent than any other Alpine pass
The inhabitant of the region can inn
agine what will be the result If the
Altels should come crashing down,
having experienced such an occur
renee on smaller scale when glaciers
from this particular peak have de-
scended upon them The last one fell
In September, 1898, and many peas
ants were killed.

of the National Civic Federation who

Before the reporter TO whom the
question was addressed could tell Of
the neighhoring "beef-and" places
which met his idea Of a quick lunch,
the Chicago stenographer asked how
far il was TO 's, mentioning a place
where a New Yorker would not go un-
less he had several dollars TO spare for
luncheon and couple of hours to de-
vote 90 gustatory delights.
The stenographers compromised on
one of the best downtown restaur-

ed by Naval Powers to Their

As military motor-bicycles have al
ready proved themselves to be of
value in scouting, it is probable that
in nearly every civilized country they
will be largely used in, future land
warfare. Why, if the fast land scout
prove so useful should not the navy
adopt the same methodist A boat GO
feet long, with two 25-horse power
engines, built very light to carry, say,
four persons and to be capable Of con-
siderable speed, would be most use
ful addition 10 a battleship of fleet,
says the London Star. The ordinary
torpedo boat is too long and draws too
much water fer scouting near shore or
in shallow winter, but n launch might
be made TO draw less than three feet
Of water, and yet have speed Of up
wards of 30 knots. There would be no
tunnels or smoke To attract the notice
OF the enemy and with underwater
exhaust the boat might be made al
most silent. If built low in the water,

II would be difficult to hit. Probably
such a craft would be more useful
