Did the Best He Knew.

Geordie Horn was a character well known among the country folk of the Scotch highlands twenty-five years ago. He belonged to class rather hard to classify, for he was neither a tramp nor d farm hand, although frequently following the habits of both. Wan dering from farm to farm, the greater part of the time he was kindly treated and hospitably entertained generally. While he was a man of unusual strength, he was mentally weak and exceedingly lady.
 Hes a gie cute chiel, though slow in the uptack" Understanding, was the way a good many described him.
 One day he arrived at his friend the doctors and complained of a severe pain in his breast. The doctor handed him a plaster, with instructions to put it on his chest without delay. Geordie gave him one of his knowing looks and took his departure. The doctor met him few days later and inquired how he was feeling now. Geordie re- piled, "Nae better" Did you do as told you with the plaster?" the doctor went on.

A POSITIVE CURE
 FOR INDIGESTION

If you have indigestion, your food ferments in the stomach and bowels. It does more: it decays, and the nutritious matter which should go to make new blood decays with it, and this leads to an impoverished condition of the blood, to nervousness, bilious ness, constipation; sick headache, bad breath which disgusts your friends, and other disagreeable and unpleasant conditions.
 And all this trouble is caused by the food that doesn't digest, but ferments and oftimes rots in the stomach,
 And fermentation is caused by the stomach not being strong enough and energetic enough to thoroughly mix the food with the digestive juices.
 MONA is responsible for tens of thousands of cures. In fact, it is such a positive cure for indigestion and all stomach troubles that it is guaran. teed by Anders Jacobsen to cure or money back. The price of a large box of Mi-o-na tablets is 50 cents, and they are sure to promptly relieve the worst case of indigestion or gas tFitis Try them.

A KINGS DREAM.
Belief In the Vision Might Have

Belief In the Vision Might Have Changed History. On June F, 1645. Charles I. slept at the little inn in Naseby village. Scouts had brought news of the approach of the parliamentary army, and the king was resolved to give them battle.
 In the middle of the night the lords of the bedchamber. who slept in the outer room. were disturbed by an ex- traordinary noise in the kings room Upon entering they found Charles sit ting bolt upright in his bed and in a much excited state.
 On asking what the noise was, the king said he had heard no noise. but that their entry had reused him from an extraordinary dream. He said that Strafford had stood at the foot of his bed and implored him not to give bat tie. for if he did he would be so disas- trously defeated as to threaten his crown and even his life.
 The next morning Charles told Prince Rupert and his generals of his dream. but declared that he would fight. They in vain tried to dissuade him. In the evening news. arrived that the enemy were close at hand. That night Charles again dreamed the same dream. Straf- ford warned him that it was the last time he would try to help him.
