something of the condition Of affairs
His ideas of business were exceeding
~ vague, but he nerved himself for
the undertaking.

Something is up Goodale admitted
quietly. Wheat is down.
"Oh, see." said his rival, with a
dazed look which belied his assump-
ton Of intelligence. "Mr. Truesdel!
has been dealing very heavily lately.
I believe"
Every heavily indeed" Goodale
agreed promptly.
"Many people will be very hard hit"
Every hard indeed"
Van Ingen concluded that he had
solved the problem. He thanked his
informant, rose languidly and proceed
ed to his club. inwardly grateful that
he had escaped a terrible possibility.
While he was eating his luncheon a
man whom he knew emerged from
behind his paper and came over to his
table

An hour later Van Ingen went into
the writing room and penned note to
Mr. Truesdell to the effect that some
unexpected and important business
would compel him to forego the pleas
ure Of a further discussion Of the con-
templated alliance.
On Christmas eve Goodale and Van
Ingen met face to face on the street.
The latter would have passed without
a sign of recognition, but Goodale
grasped his hand and greeted him cor
daily.

Accordingly the experienced soldier
makes it a point to escape Christmas
guard duty if possible. There are sew
eral ways of doing this. The first

passive cooperation. which throws the
burden of the day upon young recruits
who are passing their first Christmas
in the service. He permits the old
timers to swap dates for guard duty
with the recruits so that the latter
will find themselves detailed.
Santa Claus also comes to the sol
der. This is true literally and igura-
lively. He comes through the mails
or the express companies in the shape
of boxes or packages from the home
folks. On his $13 month the soldier
does not have much Of a surplus to
spend in buying presents to send
home, but this fact does not initiate
against his receiving mementos from
the old hearthstone. 1t is always an
event in camp or barracks when some

is a relaxation of the rigor of military

is even more welcome than the turkey

much as he pleases.

the men are shut out of the general

Van Ingen was punctual at Trues-
dell's office on the following day. AS
he entered the busy place he found
the hustle very disQuieting to his
nerves. Tape machines clicked, clerks
were shouting perplex1ng fractions
into telephones, and there was an up
roar quite unfamiliar to the young
mans ears. All at once Truesdell
rushed into view, almost overturning
his distinguished visitor, and without
even an apology shouted in a voice
that seemed peculiarly disagreeable:
Here, Goodale! Get move on and
sell all you can-1OOOO,OOO bushels to-
day. Keep cool head, man."
Having given his commands, Trues-

GEO. WASHINGTON
A SINCERE MAS0N,'
DECLARES PASTOR
Northern Lodge, F. and A.. M,
Attends Service at Halsey
Street M. E. Church.

In commemoration of George Wash
ington's birthday a service was held at
the Halsey Street M. E. Church last
night and members of Northern, Lodge,
F. and A. M, as we'll as brothers of
sister lodges attended. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. DIR. James Clay
ton Howard, pastor of the church, and
the. subject was: washington as
Christian, Washington the Man and
Washington as a Mason"
DIR. Howard said in part:
Washington was trained as a Chris
tan by his mother from childhood and
he, continued a Christian at home
n in battle. He was a communicate
of h Protestant Episcopal Church and
when his forces were at Morristown he
told the pastor of the Presbyterian
Church there that he would be glad to
be permitted to attend his services. He
was an ideal Christian. Washington
was also a real man. AS a boy he was
a real boy n a splendid student. At
the age of sixteen he was a surveyor
and at h age of 10 a public surveyor
of the commonwealth of Virginia. AT
the age of q he was a major with the
of acknowledgement and was sent
to war against the Indians in the Ohio
valley. He distinguished himself there
and was made lieutenant-colonel. After
the conclusion of the French-Indian
war he married Martha GUSTS and re-
tired TO his estate in Mount Vernon.
HE became a member of the Cont
mental Congress and or June 10, 1875,
was elected commander in chief of the
forces. AS such he served
eight years without any compensation
and he might have been king, but he de-
elined. After being elected president of
the United States twice he retired t o
Mount Vernon. He died there on De-
II, 1899. between IL and u o'clock
at night. 4 die hard he said to the
doctor, but l am not afraid
washington was a Mason. Some of
the critics say he was Indifferent as to
Masonry, but this was no so. He en-
tered Masonry on November 4, 1852, at
Fredericksburg, was made a fellow
six months later and a mas
ter Mason six months after that. He
master of the Alexandria lodge for
years, was offered the office as
master of Virginia, but declined,
and when the formation of a grand lodge
for all the States of the Union was pro
posed, he was elected for the office as
grand master of the Masons of Pennsyl-
vania. The project was not realized,
however. He himself said about Mason

The officers of the federation are
pleased with the success of this first

The Stomach
of The Child
Is The Organ All Parents Should
Protect and Keep Normal.

The stomach of a child is the organ
above all others upon which the future
of a child depends. Bodily develop
ment is fast in children, and the nour-
ishment necessary to meet such de-
velopment is the one essential de-
manded from a parent. Most mothers
n fathers jealousy guard a child
from the formation of bad habits, yet
In this age our children early become
the victims of wrong food, over eating
irregular meals.
1t is most appalling to know the eff
feet of stomach troubles among our
children.
Most children who are nervous, irrit-
able and cross, who dream, sleep rest
lessly, who tire easily and have no de-
sire for child exercise, generally have
stomach trouble, Indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are in
tended to thoroughly digest food and
to place the system in shape to obtain
all the nourishment it needs from such
food.
These tablets mix with the juices of
the system, %enriching them and giving
to h body the ingredients necessary
to build up the rapidly forming brain
and body of the young
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be
given to children after each meal and
at bed time. They are made from pure
vegetable and fruit essences and con-
tain no harmful chemicals whatever.
The use of these tablets will give
greater vim to a child in its school
work or at it's play. They will produce
appetite and soothe nerves, destroy alb
normal cravings will allay the bad
effects Of sweets and such improper
foods as most children enjoy and will
eat. no matter what is done to pre-
ven it.
1t is due the child that his stomach
be protected by the parent, and if Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are given after
meals, the habits of the child will not
tear down the stomach and destroy the
digestive juices nearly so rapidly. Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are given to
each and every degree of life. Any con-
dition of the stomach welcomes Them,
from the strongest to the weakest.
