Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
1t Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suflic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.

DEAD MANS FACE ON PANE,
Remarkable illusion Affects Widow
and Daughter-Others Fail
to See Image.

Reading, Pa.-The widow and one
of the daughters of the late Oscar D.:
Angstadt of this city, who died last
October, are much excited over the
appearance, clear to their vision, of
the picture of the dead man on a win
dow pane in the room where he died.
It first appeared to them on a recent
Sunday and they called in some of the
neighbors to look at it, but none but
the widow and her daughter could
see it.
1nsistent that the face was plainly
depicted on the pane, Mrs. Angstadt
and her daughter the other day got
Police Sergeant Gresham to examine
the window, but he was obliged to ad-
NIT that he could see nothing.
The women have washed the pane
several times, but declare that the
face is still visible there. They state
that Mr.. Angstadt, for several weeks
before he died, used to lie in his bed
and look through that window, and
they believe that his face in some
way became photographed there.
They describe the image as resem.
bling the negative of photograph.

Well, ! said that got one of these
lions after all, though he took quite
a lot of getting, escaping me alto

over strong bodily, but was pretty
much so in purpose, and it annoyed
me to hear the roaring night after
night and not render an account Of
it; then again our animals were get
ting almost beyond control, from the
incessant tension on their nerves..
Strolling away towards the hills one
morning I came suddenly on a lion
lying on a rock. His muzzle was
stretched straight towards me, be-
tween his huge paws; his body, posi-
ton and surroundings adapting them
selves SO admirably to each other

he was wide awake enough, how
ever, and the instant he knew L had
seen him he started up and bounded
away, giving me no time, in my nerv-
GUS condition., to get a good shot; I
fired, but as soon as touched the
trigger l knew l had missed him
perhaps it was all the better for me
that did so-and the next moment
he was out of sight among the rocks.
Walking on little farther, came
upon the half-consumed carcass of a
hartebeeste, evidently killed the night
before, the trail by which the lion had
dragged it pointing towards the veldt.

be lost; better than laying out shot

plentiful away in the interior of the

see them was to want a head. My

rectly towards them than wished, for
fear of stampeding the hartebeeste

Horses Tail Saves Man,

St. Louis.-Two St. Louis firms re-
ceived messages telling of the mar.
row escape of two statesmen from
drowning while fording the backwa,
tiers of the Usage river, four miles
north Of Linn, Mo-, in two-horse rig.
One of the men saved his life by hold.
ing to the tail of a horse.
Harry Butts of Leclede, Mo-, and
Thomas Bass Of Steelville, two trav-
cling statesmen, were in the adven-
ture. They attempted to ford the
backwaters of the stream when the
horses suddenly struck a "step-off''
about seven feet deep.
The buggy was overturned and the
men we're flung, with their samples,
into the water. Bass, who is a swim
mer, struck out for shallow water.
Butts grabbed the tail of one of the
horses, letting the animal do the
work. Men, rig and horses were un-
harmed, but the samples disappeared.

more easily attempted than done, and
my surefooted horse was not able to
negotiate the villainous country. l
therefore pulled up, lest we should
break both our necks, and as I did so
had the satisfaction of seeing the
gemsbuck drop in its tracks and re-
main there; whilst its companions
only seemed to scamper the faster. On
coming up, found her, for it was a
fine COW, stone dead. The blood was
only beginning to trickle from the
wound, and I had not noticed a spot
anywhere on the ground she had gone
over. On examination l found that
the bullet had completely torn away
the apex of the heart, and yet she had
galloped at least hundred yards at
as great speed as her companions,
practically without bleeding a drop
another instance of the extreme VITAL
ity Of such creatures, which I have
found even still stronger in the Ger
vidae proper than in the antelopes.
She had a prettily marked head, with
a length of horns of three feet eight
inches. 1t was out of the question
thinking of bagging any of the rest of
the herd, so threw the carcass across
my horse and started back to camp.
A few days afterwards, as I was
perched on the wagon box scraping
at the skull of the gemsbuck, hardly
paid any attention to pair of secre-
tary birds which were sailing right
overhead. Their appearance, however,
suggested snakes, and sure enough,

few odds and ends, impervious to the
irrepressible ants, was large pun ad.

him when the dragon on which I was
riding slipped out of his skin and left
me floating in midair. While l was
considering how should get down, a

edge of the wall and said he would
haul me up if would first climb up
and rig windlass for him. So as l

the neck, killing it instantly, and saw.
ing my horse the stiff gallop l had
anticipated, for these creatures are
as swift as any of the genus. Throw.
ing the carcass just as it was, without
opening, across the saddle, took it to
spot which would give me chance
of telling shot, If lion should
make it's appearance. But although l
watched the best part of the night,
nothing came of my vigil, the jackals
reaping the benefit of all my careful
preparations. The fact was, as I sub.
sequently found out, that they were
lions in their primo. and it is not
often that such can be decoyed by a
carcass which they have not them
selves destroyed.
Next morning was, of course, about
looking for signs; but could make
nothing out as to lions. On going
down toward the river some half mile
from camp, my attention was attract
ed by the unusual conduct of a leop-
ard. He was cutting all sorts of
capers; at one time ploughing along
the ground with his head; at another
rearing upright and tearing at his
throat with his fore paws All this
was curious, it was also my opportun-
ity, and I lost no time in putting a
couple of bullets into him, the second

performance, my wonder ceased.

gusto than discretion, one of the lat.
ter's quilts had got inserted under the
root of the leopard's tongue, and was
working deeper and deeper. The tor
ture the poor animal endured must
have been awful, and do not imagine
it could have survived. No dead
"porky' appeared to be around, so,
thanking him in his absence, l took
the beautiful spotted skin. Next day
I was laid up with an attack of fever
which kept me idle for some time. My
