WHALE MUST HAVE HAD ORDERS.


The Bishop of Marlborough told
story in opening the st. Thomas sale
of work at Exeter. to illustrate the
difficulty which confronted church
workers in days gone by, says the Lon
don Standard. Sixty years ago he
made strenuous effort to stimulate
parochial life In the direction OF
amusement. out 1t was, he said, a
bad failure. The only thing which he
could recollect Of the details now was
that there was smoky magic lantern
which had been used at Haldon races.
and was caught hold Of by young
farmer as proper thing with which
to give an entertainment in the parish,
but 1t was simply an exhibition of ami
mails, and the room. being dark and

miserable affair. Suddenly the show
man said: you know, children, !
am exhibiting the animals that came
out of the ark" Unfortunately, the
next thing he exhibited was whale

The Reverend Hunters Description Of

The Rev. DR.. william s. Rainsford,
who won fame as the strenuous and
radical rector Of st. Georges Episco-
pal church, New York. and who re-
signed his charge because of Ill health,
has been spending fourteen months
lion hunting In Africa and has now
entirely recovered his normal degree
of energy. He landed In New York
recently and is now engaged on a
book about his experiences In British

Rainsford says he himself never had
any scrupies about shooting these

slowly, carelessly, he turned his broad
black head toward me and shifted the
tainted air that drifted down to him.

Slow Digestion
A Frequent Form of Stomach Trouble
Readily Cured by Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

This complaint constitutes one of the
most common forms of dyspepsia. 1t is
the bane of those who ignore natural
laws, and forget that the healthy ac-
ton of the stomach is dependent on
the condition of both body and mind
Those whose pursuits oblige them to
pass much of their time within doors;
men of letters and of business whose
minds are seldom perfectly relaxed;
administrators, spectators, financiers
and the various professional men fail
ready victims to it.
Slow digestion occurs in persons of
all temperaments and habits, but
Oftenest in those of irritable or nervous
disposition, and anxious aspect of coun-
tenance. who are popularity character
lied as "dyspeptic looking" Eating
too rapidly is a common, exciting cause
of the disorder. as is also imperfec.
justification of food from loss of teeth
There is also deficiency of the gas
trio juices, and an insufficiency of the
motor and muscular, or churning move
ments of the stomach walls, and tho
food remains entirly too long in this
organ, instead of being passed down into
the small intestine at the proper time
Even dinner not exceeding the ordi-
nary limits is followed at VARYING in
tervals, but usually within an hour. by
a feeling of weight and oppression in
ward the person experiences decided
discomfort, and should even light
supper be taken, horrible Nightmare
and troubled dreams are certain to re-
suit.
81 should be quite well. if it wexe not
necessary to eat is a common state
ment made by sufferers from this form
of stomach complaint Many of them
actually dread the approach of meal
time, knowing what disagreeable
symptoms they are sure to experience
after eating; and would doubtless dis
continue the ingestion of food into their
stomachs altogether If it were possible
to live without eating.
There is really no necessity whatever
for depriving ones self of the pleasures
of the table, or to starve the rest of the
system because the stomach is derelict
in its duty, and does not digest the food
as quickly or as thoroughly as it
should.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets compel
the stomach to perform its functions
properly and assist it very materially
in the discharge OF it's duties. a single
grain of the principal digestive ingred-
lent of these tablets being sufficient to
digest 5000 grains of food They not
tone up and strengthen the peptic
glands, and the motor functions, so that
the food will not remain in the stomach
longer than necessary. Every case or
slow digestion and all other forms of
dyspepsia are readily durable by the
use of these tablets, which make up the
gastric deficiency, and supply the dis
ordered stomach with exactly the same
digestive juices that are found in a
healthy, vigorous stomach
Purchase package of these wonder
full digestors from your druggist today
for so cents and cure yourself of your
dyspepsia. Send us your name and ad
dress. and we will forward you sam

A BLOODY EXHIBITION.
Title of Champion Butcher Is Awarded
in Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. Fully 1900 people
watched-or started to watch-the
beef dressing contest staged yesterday
afternoon at the Lawndale baseball
park. "Buch' WEIGH re-established
his claim to the title of the champion
of the world by killing and dressing an
OK in five and one-half minutes on
platform erected in front of the grand
stand
The crowd in the grandstand dimin-
ished rapidly as the events proceeded
with the "arena" constructed in the
baseball diamond. Women fed for the
gates at the sight of blood.
The first OK was led into the 'arena,"
paving and looking wildly at the
crowd. He was dragged upon a plat
form that had been constructed where
the "matador'' stood armed with a
hammer.
The first blow of the hammer failed
and it took two more before the OK fell
on the platform. He was lloisted up
on a derrick and process was quickly
completed. while the champion waved
bloody knife and moved aside. An
other OK was led out and put through
the same process. A resident of Polish
descent tried, but failed, to equal the
record of the champion.
After the contest the carcasses were
auctioned off to the assembled butchers
who came from all over the city, and
whose enterprise had provided enter

EATON ON CHARACTER.
Chief of Police in Dissertation on
Blonde and Brunette Types.

What a rumDus Police Chief R. w.
Eaton is going to stir up among the
light haired members of the feminine
sex.
contention that the blonde haired
dame has a less strength of character
than her darker haired sister.
During those years that Chief Eaton.
has had to deal with people. in his ca
pacity, first as probation officer, and
later as police chief, the department
head has not been idle.
And furthermore his observations
have been practical, so that when he
makes a statement he knows whereof
to the strength of character evidenced
by the brunette over the blonde, was
made from the standpoint of the Off
cial, and dealings with the lower
strata of humanity have had much to
do with the opinion reached.
Blonde women have not the
strength of the brunette" the police
chief said, "and also evidence dispo-
sition to Incidence. They have not
the fire and ambition of the brunette,
although once on the moral descend
the latter will sink to a lower depth.
moral strength is somewhat like
gravitation,' he continued. 'The far
Their up one goes naturally the harder
will be the fall from a material stand
rcint. That is gravitation. On the
other hand the higher in social scale
a woman ascends the farther she will
descend If degrading influence over
powers her.
Accomplishment. ambition, even
pride, is found in the brunette, even
though she may have fallen. All is
there except a moral weakness. With
the blonde, especially among the lower
strata, there is no ambition, no accom-
plishment, not an iota of pride, and it
has seemed to me that during the time
I have had experience with these peo-
pie in my official capacity, that I have
had ample opportunity to study their
nature"
From the standpoint of theory scien-
lists have long contended the greater
strength of character of the darker
haired woman as compared with the
lighter. Their contention has been
based upon chemical analysis, and
compound parts which go to make up
the intricate machine known as the
human body.
Additional light with a significance
is thrown upon the subject because the
police department here concurs with
science on the question. One has
ascertained from an analytical stand
point, while the other has arrived at
ccnclusion from dealing direct with
those who have shown their weakness.
