The Seven Days Fight.

T. Benton Kelley, Co. E. 8th Ill.
Boston, Mass, says that he read in
The National Tribune a communication
from Comrade o. II. Masten, 1st Pa.
Rifles, Biloxi, Miss, in which he claimed
that the Pony Section" as he terms
it, of the Pennsylvania Rifles, Co. d,
fired the first shot in the Seven Days
fight. He has a faint recollection on
June rs, 1862, of helping to check the
advance of the rebel forces under Stone
wall Jackson from near Hanover Court
House to the outpost of the Army of
the Potomac near Mechanicsville, Va.
The Sth Ill. Cav, with the 9Th U. S.
Cav, was doing picket duty from the
right flank Of the army to the Pamun-
key River, distance of some 16 miles.
The Sth Ill. Cav. had the left of the
line connecting with the army. jack
sons advance struck the pickets OF Co.
n, and Capt. Hooker, who was in COM
sponded to the attack at the front and
was mortally wounded, being the first
man to yield up his life in that pro-
longed struggle, that was nearly eight
miles from Mechanicsville, where the
1st Pa. Rifles were in line, and he can
say that it took that attacking force.
which outnumbered us five to one, some
four hours and a half to cover that
eight miles to our infantry; every foot
of that retreating fight was contested
with all the ability and determination
that was ever our humble lot to ex-
emplify in that fierce struggle. He also
rem members very well how he rejoiced
at the sight of the Pennsylvania troops
after that desperate attempt to check
their advance.

Too Wide Awake.

J. c. True, Co. G, 40th Mo-. OatvilIe.
Kan, says that he and his partner had
eaten the last scrap from their haver-
sacks As they toiled along in the ranks
over the Tennessee hills in pursuit of
Hoods army, they took note of two
wise ones in the ranks, whose haver-
sacks stuck out with fatness. They
halted for the night. The last straggler
had crept from the dying camp fire en-
bers to his lair Cautiously in the
gloom they reached the tent that con-
tanned the fat haversacks. Carefully
and cautiously they felt under the can
vas. Then was something doing. The
occupants, rugged lads from "old Kahn
tuck" were not asleep. They prompt
ly grabbed their hands. 1t was too
much strain on the tent pins. Down
came the tent, and in the scrimmage
they got free and fled. Shortly there
stormed at their tent door the victims,
loudly inquiring if they had heard any
camp thieves about?"

LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE IT'S
OWN WAY
Do Not Try to Drive and Force IL to
Work When Ii Is Not Able or You
VIII suffer All the More

You can not treat your stomach as
some men treat a balky horse; force.
drive or even starve IL into doing work
at which il rebels. The stomach IS
patient and faithful servant and will
stand much abuse and il-treatment
before it "balks." but when it does you
had better go slow with it and not at
tempt TO make it work. Some people
have the mistaken idea that they can
make their stomachs work by starv-
ing themselves. They might cure the
stomach that way, but II would take
so long that they would have no use
for stomach when they got through
The sensible way out of the difficulty
is TO let the stomach rest il 1t wants to
and employ a substitute to do it's
work
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
the work OF your stomach for you and
digest your food just as your stomach
used to when it was well. You can
prove this by putting your food in a,
glass jar with one OF the tablets and
sufficient water and you will see the
food digested in just the same time as.
the digestive fluids OF the stomach
would do II. That will satisfy your
mind. Now, to satisfy both your
mind and body take one of Stuart 8,
Dyspepsia Tablets after eating-eat all
and what you want-and you will feel
in your mind that your food is being.
digested because you will feel no dis
turbance or weight in your stOmachs'
in fact, you will forget all about hav-'
ing a stomach. just as you did when
you were a healthy boy or girl
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in a.
natural way because they contain only
the natural elements OF the gastriCi
Juices and other digestive fluids OF the.
stomach It makes no difference what
condition the stomach is IN. they gOs
right ahead Of their own accord and
do their work. They know their busi-
ness and surrounding conditions do not
influence them in the least. They thus,
relieve the weak stomach OF all it's
burdens and give it its much-needed
rest and permit 1t to become strong,
and healthy.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a box.
They are so well known and their.
popularity is so great that a druggist
would as soon think Of being out OF
alcohol or quinine as of them. In fact.
physicians are prescribing them all
over the land. and If your own doctor
is real honest with you. he will tell
YOU frankly that there is nothing on
earth so good for dyspepsia as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

moral EDUCATION
in SCHOOL ROOM
University Professor Takes Up
Study of Children in High
and Grammar Schools

BERKELEY, Nov. 29-The extent of
moral education in the schools of the
state is being investigated by Prof.
C. e. Rugh of the department of edu-
cation of the University of California
and his assistants. Information is be-
ing sought from principals of high
and grammar schools of the state to
aid in the classification, which will
take the form of printed bulletin to
be issued next year.
The Investigators want to know the
extent of patriotic teachings in the
schools, the conduct of school organiza-
dent government, the supervision of
athletics and problems of play. The
sex problem is one of the questions
about which Professor Rugh desires
facts for his bulletin; also the instruc-
tion work in hygiene. Principals are
asked If gambling is permitted or prev
alent in the schools and to what ex-
tent.
One of the pertinent questions is:
Mention any special effort to develop
the habit of success" and another
question deals with ownership and
property. Information is also asked
as to the extent of stealing and other
vices, as smoking. The sanitary con-
ditions are also under the university
searchlight for investigation. Aid for
needy students is also included in the
list.

a member of the council of the Relig-
ious Educational association, a report
of the moral education of the state vii
