Nanny set one off.
Nanny had nearly used up her portion when
she heard the boys voices returning. The
procession had not moved in the direction
they expected, and they were going to wait
for it to come round again.
"Now, Lucy" exclaimed Nanny, as she saw
them scrambling over the fence, do show

was to be the starting point, at the usual dis

But presently puff of smoke came from the

Nearer and nearer they came, the riders
lying low on their horses necks, whipping
and ky-yi-yiing. Ihe dust in their wake
swept backward and upward, and with rush
they came over the scratch, with the roam
pony ahead, and the little Mexican fellow
holding his quirt aloft, and his little eyes
swapping with the nervous excitement Of the
great event.
He had beaten the inyincible gray stallion,
the pride of the Comanche tribe, and as he
rode back to his father his face had the
settled calm which nothing could penetrate,
And which be6tted his dignity as young rum

Common Sense

When your stomach goes on a

It is clearly and only q question
of common sense-is this thing
called Dyspepsia. Take away, BY
abuse, over eating, excesses and
high living, the things which the
stomach needs and you !, have dys-
pepsia and indigestion; then other
maIadies follow these-this is com
mon sense. ~
The stomach is willing enough
but you won't let 1t do it's work
You take away the materials which
are so necessary for 1t 20 use.
Give back these materials and
dyspepsia and indigestion fee ana
the whole machinery of man begins
slowly to move and do it's work.
What the stomach needs IS nerve
force, fluids for its digestive glands
nourishment and power All these
necessities 1t takes from the blood.
If dyspepsia gives nothing to the
blood, the blood gives nothing TO
the stomach.
This is common sense also, pure,
simple and unalloyed
