The Boys and the Sand Pile.

There was once boy who had moth
ing to play with but some sticks and
some bricks and a pile Of sand. He
lived in little house next door to the
big house where there was a boy with
toys Of every sort. The poor boy used
to play in his yard and look over into
the iron fenced garden next door
where the rich boy had all the toys.
and the poor boy wished that he had a
few. The rich boy did not care much
what happened to the toys. He used
to throw them about and then sit down
ON the grass and look at the boy wit Ii
the sand pile.
One day the rich boy got up from the
grass where he had been sitting, look.
ing through the fence at the other boy
He filed his arms full of toys and
walked over to the fence. He threw
the playthings into the poor boys yard.
and then he climbed up the fence and
down the other side, tearing his clothes
as he went. He did not care. He gave
all his toys to the other boy and Went
to play in the sand pile. Ten minutes
later the playthings he had brought
were lying unnoticed in the grass and
both boys were hard at work in the
sand, making country that was more
wonderful than any country ever made
before. That was because it was theil
own country.-Chicago News.

The boys and girls of Europe are
as fond of roller skating as are the
youth of this country. and the sport is
even more general. In many of the
European cities. notably Paris and
Berlin, almost everybody uses skates
The scholars skate to school, and on
holidays the streets swarm with big
and little folks on rollers. The law
in England prohibits persons from
using two skates on the public high
ways. To get over this two young
sters put on one skate each and grasp
ing hands roll merrily away, as shown
in the picture herewith presented.

The Underfed Stomach.

II the stomach is in Il healthy condi-
ton and able to digest food that condi-
ton will be indicated by sense of
hunger. If the system is in a disor
dered state. as is that of a person suf-
fering from fever. no food is relished,
and the patient does not care whether
he eats or not. In such a case it is
the duty of the nurse to insist on the
patients taking food the same as he
would medicine, once in so many
hours. Dyspeptics often literally starve
themselves because their stomach suf
fers when they take food, and they
take less and less until by and by the
stomach loses all desire for food and
almost loses its ability to digest it.
The only way to cure such a person
is to train the stomach into a state of
activity The stomach needs to have
a healthy stretching with good big
meal and to have some hard work to do.
There are good many patients
whose stomachs are not really feeble.
but they need to be stretched by hearty
meals Once in awhile good square
meal is prescribed for patient who
complains that he does not want to
eat anything.
There is an instance of woman pa
tient whose stomach had been pamper-
ed until it finally became so feeble and
inactive that it would not act upon or
even hold any food that was put into
it. She was finally restricted to moth
ing but oatmeal Cruel. but her stomach
would not even digest that. The doc
tor then said. THE best thing for you
to do is to eat what you please" So
she ordered a good meal, and she ate
everything she wanted. Her stomach
disposed of the meal without a par
ticle of trouble. all the vomiting and
discomfort ceased. and from that time
she began to gain in health.
The time sometimes comes in the
treatment of cases which have been
dieted so carefully that change to an
ordinary wholesome dietary becomes
not only proper but necessary for re-
covery.

The Butter Trust.

Ii has been plainly obvious for sew
eral years that the price of butter is
controlled by some arbitrary system
affecting the market, but few believ-
ed the control to be so centralized as
is indicated in the reports from Wash
ington, where, as result of the in
veStigations made by congressional
committee, the department Of Justice
has ordered prosecution of the but
ter trust, otherwise the Elgin Board
of Trade.
The evidence seems to show, how
ever, that whether the Elgin Board
of Trade directly controls the butter
market of the country 0rnot, or
whether it participates in the benefits
of excessive prices beyond the bound
aries of a few states, it, at least, in
directly influences the prices of the
whole country.
Perhaps the country now may learn
why it is that in spite of improved
breeding of milch cows, the scientific
development of butter making, and
the greatly increased production of
butter, there has not been for sew
eral years even a short period of low
prices on this necessity. There have
been fluctuations, but only between
extortionate prices in the periods of
greatest scarcity and high prices at
other times.
One of the most encouraging fea-
tures of the proposed prosecution of
the butter trust is that the makers of
oleomargarine-the packers-ha e
interested themselves in procuring
evidence against the butter men. The
Oleomargarine Law, good thing in
itself, has restricted the manufac-
turers and protected the public
against imitation butter, but it also
has given the makers of natural but
ter an opportunity to combine and

Roller Lost to the Turk.

1t isn't always the favorite that
wins.
This much was easily demonstra-
ted when Yussiff Mahmout, the Turk,
won from DR.. B. +. Roller, in straight
falls at the Missouri Athletic clubs
wrestling show in Convention hall.
Roller was the favorite, both with the
lovers of the game and the wise
ones," and It's said some money
changed hands at goodly odds.
Mahmout was the aggressor
throughout the match and kept the
doctor busy breaking away from bad
holds. He finally landed the physi-
clan the first time with a double
wrist lock and scissors hold after
thirty minutes and thirty-five Sec
onds of what was probably the best
wrestling ever seen in this city. The
doctor badly sprained his right
shoulder in the first fall, but consent
ed to go on and lost the second fall in
two minutes and thirty-five seconds
with an arm lock and half nelson.
The arm lock came on the Doctors
injured shoulder and the pain was SO
great he had TO give up.-K. c. Post.

CHURCH TO TRY
WET ORATOR.
The First Baptist Church of JOp-
lin Demands That Its Member
Explains Why He Gave Sup
port to the Liquor Men.

Joplin, Mo-, April. il.-Stephen H.
Claycomb, ex-lieutenant governor of
Missouri, has been ordered before the
board of deacons of the First Baptist
Church of Joplin to explain his course
in campaigning for the saloon men in
the recent prohibition contest in this
city. A meeting of the church men,
bers was held last Thursday night,
and Mr.. Claycomb was given thirty
days to prepare his defense.
In defending his action Mr.. Clay
comb said that the Bible iSxauthority
for the statement that wine is good
for the stomach and for the health,
and says nothing against the sale of
liquor. He says he will stand pat on
his position on the liquor question.
He attended last Thursday nights
meeting and announced that he was
willing to defend himself then and
there.
Mr.. Claycomb joined the church in
stitution only short while before he
delivered a saloon speech in the Club
Theater of this city. His brethren
now maintain he helped the saloon
men win the election, and they de-
mand an explanation.
Mr.. Claycomb's Club Theater talk
was unusual. With an array of
whisky and beer on either side of
him he explained he had secured the
liquor from Kansas joints.
81 would rather see Joplin have Ii
censed saloons tn IN unlicensed
Joints" /" he exclaimed.
He quoted repeatedly from the
Bible where reference was made to
the drinking of wine and other intoxi-
eating liquors.
In those days, he said, the Bible in
dicates the people had an awful thirst
for mention is made of their drinking
enough wine to put an ordinary man
under the table.
Mr.. Claycomb argued that coffee
drinking did more harm than liquor
drinking.
The deacons took the matter under
consideration, and Mr.. Claycomb was
informed months ago that such steps
possibly would be taken against him.
About $50 men and women attended
last Thursday nights session. The
deacons of the church are j. F. Mar
latt, j. R. Thomb, John w. Rains, j..
S. Gravelle, Lee Rosenbaum, j. H.

elected to take the place of Henry

Clothes Chorus Girl.

St. Louis, Mich. April li,-A few
days ago Mayor John Barns of St.
Louis received i telephone message
from some self-appcinte1 female CEN
sor of the city'S us0galS, saying
young woman was down on Main
street in tights and iiluAy lingerie and
that she was creating a iaroro among
the male element. She advised his
Honor to do his duty and clothe the
brazen thing.
The Mayor, who is always on the
alert to properly protect the city's
morals, promptly took the matter in
hand and the Marshal was instructed
to locate the offending heSsy. After
an hours search he failed to locate
her and so reported 10 the Mayor,
who in turn reported ii back to the
female Anthony Conseocs. His Hon.
