Blind Like Fiction Only.

A New York woman who is inter-
ested in home missionary work
thought it would be a good idea to
place some religious literature in the
various institutions for the blind, pro-
vided some one in charge would read
it to them. She accordingly visited
one such asylum and made the sug-
gestion to the matron. She was re-
ceived graciously and the matron said
they would be glad to have the iitera-
turc placed in the library, but that the
blind did not care for any kind of Sc
rious reading.
1--WE do read to them, of course
she explained, "but they want only
fiction. They do not care for anything
else. If we try to read to them books
of any other character it is time
wasted, for they do not give any at
tention. No, l do not know why their
taste runs to fiction, but probably be-
cause it makes the strongest appeal
to their imagination"

Why Trace the Eagle?

Years ago, before Senator Bever-
idge was as conspicuous politically as
he is now, he belonged to literary
club in Indianapolis, formed for the
purpose of studying Shakespeare, and
known as the Avon club.
Early in the history Of the club a
heated discussion arose as to wheth-
er the life of Shakespeare should be
studied together with his plays, or
whether the clubs work should deal
solely with the plays. Part of the
club-a prominent part-were for the
life, but the minority, led by Bever.
idge, held out against them.

ONE CUNNING OLD RODENT
Successfully Plans to Get the Cheese
Without Being Caught in
the Trap.

Not long ago it became problem
in Rrooklyn hotel how to keep down
the population of rats, which had be-
come so bold that they stole from un-
der the very noses of the cooks. Traps
and poisons were successful at first,
but after a few deaths the wary rats
avoided both The ratcatcher was
then called in, and cats, dogs and fer
rets had their turn, but still the rats
increased.
The steward bagged few with
small rifle, but the rats soon grew too
cautious for him. About all he could
see was the tip of a tail or two bright
eyes that disappeared as soon as he
raised his gun. Then he hit upon an
other idea. He swung lid on bar
rel with a swivel, filed the barrel half
full of water, and fastened lump of
cheese in the center of the lid. AS
soon as a rat alighted on either side
of the lid, over he would go into the
barrel, and for a while rats were
drowned by the dozen.
1t was at this juncture that the
rodents evidently held a council, fol
the number of victims grew steadily
smaller. Sometimes in the morning
there would be two or three rats in
the barrel, oftener there were none a

CAUSES 95 Per CENT OF DISEASES.
Advice Concerning Stomach Tr0ubIer
and How 10 Remedy Them.

Do not neglect indigestion which
leads to all sorts Of ills and compll-
cations. An eminent doctor once
said that ninety-five per cent of all
the ills of the human body have
their origin in a disordered stomach.
A physician who made speciality
of stomach troubles, particularly
dyspepsia, after years of study per-
fected the formula from which Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads US to believe
them to be the greatest remedy
known for the relief Of acute indi-
gestion and chronic dyspepsia.
Their ingredients are soothing and
healing to the infamed membranes
of the stomach. Thev are rich in
pepsin, one of the greatest digestive
aids known to medicine. The relief
they afford is almost immediate.
Their use with persistency and regu-
larity for short time brings about
cessation of the pains caused by
stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will in.
sure healthy appetite, aid digestion
and promote nutrition. AS evidence
Of our sincere faith in Rexall Dys.
pepsia Tablets, we ask you to try
them at our risk. If they do not
give you entire satisfaction, we will
return you the money you paid u:
for them, without question or for
mality. They come in three sizes

of Mr.. Roosevelt, but if he is
chosen as the party's standard
bearer in the national contest next
year. he will not decline the nom
ination.
Mr.. Roosevelt went direct to
the Union League club, where he
conferred with William L. Ward,
New York member of the Repub-
lican national committee at Wash
