 For ten years Aunt Hannah Day, widow and resident of the village of Clyde, had been a sort of terror to most of the residents. She lived alone and was we'll to do, and she just dotted on lawsuits. At the end of ten years Elder Thomas was about the only cit lzen of the town worth suing who had not been sued. His time was close at hand, however, He had two hives of bees in his back yard, and they had swarmed earlier than was looked for. Not finding new hives ready. they had passed over into Aunt Hannah's or chard and stung her and her COW and pig before going further She decided to start a suit for damages.
 Elder Thomas had never had a law suit nor been summoned as a juryman or witness. He had a dread of the law, and the Knowledge that he was going to be sued set him trembling. It was no use for him to go over and see Aunt Hannah. She never changed her mind nor settled a case He heard of her decision one morning, and he spent the forenoon worrying over 1t. He was stin worrying after dinner when he set out with hoe on his shoulder to work in a cornheld half a mile outside the village. On the edge of the field was a creek, and on the banks of the creek was an old shed in a tumble down condition. The elder had been milling up corn for about a quarter of an hour when a voice called to him from the shed. He raised his head and listened, and it called again. He drop ped his hoe and took a few steps for ward, and the voice cried out;
 "Stop, Elder Thomas! Stop right where you arew

for Congress in the twenty-eighth dis
trict, today announced his withdrawal
from the race owing to i'll health. In
letter addressed to the voters OF the
district he says that he is suffering
from heart trouble and would not be
able to perform the duties of the Office
If he We're elected.
Mr.. Sibley's enemies, while admit
ting that he is not as vigorous as he
was once, say that he is just as cit to
make the race the coming fall al he
was to run for the nomination last
June and they accuse him, of showing
the white feather They say he has
declined because he is afraid OF de-
feat at the hands OF William ]. Breene,
his Democratic opponent and because
he hopes that this action will result
In the audit of his account, which Is
scheduled to begin next Monday, being
called off.
The plight in which SibIey has left
his political co-worqers is far from
pleasant They staked all their power

nation, and now they face political
oblivion, for 1t Is doubtful If a Sibley
sympathizer is named as his successor.

ALL INDIGESTION GOES
Heartburn, Gas Dyspepsia and Other
Stomach Misery vanishes

The question as to how long .yOu
are going TO continue sufferer from
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, out OF order
stomach is merely a matter Of how
soon you begin taking some Diapep-
sin.
If your stomach is lacking in diges-
tive power why not help the stomach
to DO its work, not with drastic drugs
but a reinforcement of digestive
agents such as are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
take little -Diapepsin occasionally
and there will be no more Indigestion
no feeling like lump OF lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, sour risings,
gas on stomach or belching OF undi-
gested food, headaches, dizziness or
sick stomach, and besides what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous odors. All
these symptoms resulting from a
sour, out of order stomach and dys-
pepsia are generally relieved Ave
minutes after taking little Diapsp-
sin.
Go to your druggist and get a so
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now,
and you will always go to the table
with hearty appetite and what you
eat will taste good, because your
stomach and intestines will be clean
and fresh and you will know where
are not going to be any more bad
nights and miserable days for you
They freshen you and make YOU feel
like life. is worth living.
