AUTO-WWSFCTION
DO You Deliberately Torture Your
self Alive by NegIecting
Your Stomach.

A great outcry has arisen during
the last few years against scientists
who torture dumb animals alive in
the interests of science. How many
people are there, however, who need
lessly torture themselves by causing
their stomachs to overwork. Dys-
pepsia, Indigestion, heartburn, sleep
lessness. loss OF vim and energy are
the Inevitable result.
Are you one OF these?
why not give your stomach a
rest?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Will
relieve your stomach OF all its work
and do II for you. They are com
pounded OF the very elements and
do the work which the stomach per-
forms when In normal health, asep-
tic pepsln, malt diastaste and like
ingredients
DR. Richardson in writing a thesis
on treatment OF dyspepsia and indi-
gestion, closes his remarks by saying
"For those suffering from acid dys-
popsia, shown by sour watery ris-
ings or for fatulent dyspepsia, shown
by gas on stomach. causing heart
trouble and difhcult breathing, as
well as for all other forms OF stom-
ach trouble. the safest treatment Is
to take one or two OF stuart's Dys-
pcpsia Tablets after each meal. !
advise them because they contain
no harmful drugs. but are composed
OF valuable digestiyes, which Get
promptly npon the food eaten. I
never knew n case OF indigestion or
even chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's
Tablets would not reach"
Cheap cathartie medicines claim
ing TO cure dyspepsia aid in digestion
can have no effect whatever In act
lvoly dlgestlng tho food, and 10 call
any cathartic medicine a cure for
indigestion Ia a misnomer.
Every druggist In the United
States and Canada sells Stuart's

AUTOGRAPHS CAME IN USEFUL
Stranded EngIishman RAISED Money
on Famous Names.

~ IL sometimes mighty useful. to
nave distinguished relatives. Here l.,
an instance in point. A young New
Io"nc., brother-inlaw CT Sir Philip
Burne-Jones, the artist, found himself
stranded while in Albany a few days
ago. Being unacquainted in the state
capital, the problem Of how to raise
enough money to get back to Broad
way was serious one. Suddenly it
dawned upon him that a couple of let
ters which he had in his possession,
and which he only recently had re-
celVed from Burne-Jones and Rudyard
Ktpling, the author, might be made to
realize, If not train fare, at least the
price of ham sandwich. Acting on
the inspiration, he took the letters to
a nearby bookstore, which made a
speciality OF the buying and selling of
original autograph letters of famous
persons.
Fortunately there happened to be
aothinS of particularly private or
confidential nature in the missives in
question, and after examining them
carefully and asking some questions
relating thereto the proprietor Of the
store finally offered their owner $4.75
for both letters-$4 for the Kipling
epistle and rs cents for the Burne.
Jones one. Needless to ST. I, the offer
was promptly accepted.

fully near tie tragedy, and even bank
runs produce an occasionally funny
bit
Recently, when Wall street was
filled nearly all day with a surging
crowd trying to get to the teller's
window in trust company there,
two water-side characters appeared
from the direction of the East river.
They pushed their way up the street
and wondered much at the strain1ng
crowds. They, could not understand
1T and nobody seemed to have time
to enlighten them till they came to
friendly patrolman. To him they
applied for information in this wise:
"Phwat's all the row about?"
Bank rum said he
"Phwat's that?"
"The people are afraid the bank
will close UP before they get their
money out. There is a lot of trouble
with the banks and the people think
1t is safer to get their cash."
"Oh, yis, l seen somethin' about
that in the papers,
"Well, that's the answer. That's
what they are trying to do"
And how do they do it?"
They write a check for the amount
of their money in the bank and give
1t to the teller. and he pays them the
cash"
That's cashing a check, isn't it,"
Yes, that's right"
Sure, I know wha' a check IS. Had
one or two myself. But why do they
go to the banks wren they Jhink tney
may close up? A bank at this time Is
no place to go to, sure. Why don't
they go to a saloon and get it cashed
there? That's where 1 always had

these being largely rubies, emeralds

$22,500.
There is one accomplished workman
in London whose sole occupation is
that of mounting fancy slippers with
jewels. The present countess dowager

the order-a pair of slippers. in which
she was to appear as Cinderella at a
