I have been a sufferer from both
chronic and acute indigestion for
many years, but after using three
bottles of your Pep-a-Mo for indiges-
ton, l am entirely cured, although it
is the season of the year that l suf-
fer most. Everybody knows the
real danger OF acute Indigestion and
the terrible suffering it causes. Words
cannot express my appreciation to
your company for the benefits receiv-
ed. hope to see the time when
Pep-a-Mo will be a household word
through this land of ours. Pep-a-M Mo
will surely do all that it claims, and
even more. I heartily recommend it
to the many sufferers from this
dreaded disease. Gratefully yours,

FEARED THE sEARcHLIGHT.

Dismay reigned amongst the in
habitants of the outer Western
islands recently when a searchlight
was played over their ouses and
fields during the visit of several war
ships. The islanders in their re-
mote and lonely homes knew little of
twentieth century inventions, and
had no knowledge of this kind of
Light, and all took to prayer and
Bible reading-considering that the
lights were omens Of coming evil.
On the island of Colonsay, one of
the Hebrides, H. NJ. S. Defence
landed big gun and 45O bluejack-
cts. This is the biggest invasion Of
armed men the island has known
since the days of the clan feuds.-

ANTIQUARIAN TREASURE.

Two curious skeletons were discov-
cred recently by workmen who were
laying water mains near the old river
,Ivel, at Biggleswade, North Bed
fordshire, England. and they have
now been removed to the British
museum for the consideration of
the British Antiquarian society. An
tiquarians are of the opinion that
they are the remains of Phoenician
chieftain and his wife. As they are
in a good state of preservation, the
relics are of almost priceless value.
The skeleton of the male measured
six feet six inches, and the head was
massive The woman was laid at
right angles to the man, with her
feet resting against the side of his
body. Apparently, when her lord
died, she was slain and buried with
him, according to prehistoric GUS
tom.

"No, got one," said the manager.

GOAT is MAKING ENEMIES.

A goats peculiar taste for UNI
brellas is causing no little resent
ment amongst Brighton { England)
citizens. On many perambulators
nowadays is fixed a basket-holder
for umbrellas. This goat knows it,
and whenever he has a chance, due
to the nursemaid talking to cousin,
for instance, he seizes the opportuni-
ty to make a meal of the umbrella.
A newspaper reporter saw him busy
with a nice silk one the other day,
tearing great mouthfuls out of it be-
fore the nurse discovered him. Then
it was the nurse who was fearful.

after the Jail was reached, for Sher-

the justice who made the ten-day
sentence couldn't be quick enough
about remitting the remainder of it.
The suit against him, according to
Miss Bessie, would be 100000. The
tramp who gobbled the clothing

They Are Called "psnIc Birds" and
Appear Only When a Tempest
10 Impending.

There is an interesting class Of
men who are never seen on "the
street" when everything is bright
and buoyant, but who flock there in
droves when tempest breeds, and
stocks fall way down to almost
nothing. They descend upon "the
street. to take advantage of such
conditions, and buy up stocks when
at thsir lowest, holding them until
all is peace again, and then selling at
a handsome profit. They are usually
veterans Of the market who ''know
the ropes" and buy when everyone
else is selling, and sell when prices
are high and everyone is buying.
These wise men" Of Wall street
are called "psnic-birdS," and they al
ways soar high above "the street" in

TO WRITE DETECTIVE TALES
a. X. chsstsrton, Who Dose Them
Himself, Olives Recipe FOE This
Ciase Of Stories.

For g man who writes detective
stories G. X. Chesterton maintains
painfully skeptical attitude toward
them. Here is "G. X. C.'s" recipe
for the writing of this kind Of litera-
ture, as given in the Illustrated Lon
don News:
81 like detective stories; 1 read
them, write them but l do not be-
lieve them. The bones and structure
of a good detective story are so old
and we'll known that it may seem
banal to state them even in outline.
A policeman, stupid but sweet-tem-
pered, and always weakly erring on
the side of mercy, walks along the
street, and in the course of his or
binary business finds man in Bull
garian uniform killed with an Aus
tralian boomerang in a Brompton
milk shop. Having set free all the
most suspicious persons in the story,
he then appeals to the bulldog pro-
fessional detective, who appeals to
the hawklike amateur detective.
''The latter finds near the corpse
a bootlsce, a button boot, q French
newspaper, and return ticket from
the Hcbrides, and SO, relentlessly,
link by link, brings the crime home
to the archbishop of Canterbury"

next; while the Hawaians are becom-

Pure-blooded natives number about
forty thousand with about as many
more of mixed blood. The Chinese

AN INTERESTING JAPANESE VII
LACE.

Nihongi is a little village situated
about twenty miles from Tokyo, Japan.
It's inhabitants belong to the Eta caste,
the pariahs of Japan. Twenty-Five
years ago." writes Father Steichen,
when the missionaries visited every
village Of the country, preaching In the
huts of the men of goodwill, the old
patriarch was the first convert made.
Through his zeal the entire village
soon became Catholic, and for years
these poor people have saved every
possible farthing for the building OF
the little chapel.
Recently, His Grace Archbishop
Bonnie of Tokyo blessed this modest
oratory in which these poor outcasts
find greater pleasure than anywhere
else. 1.-THE last shall be first" says
the gospel, and this is very true OF
the Catholics of Nihongi, for by their
virtuous conduct and Christian charity
they are a marked contrast to the
proud pagans in the neighboring vii
lagos who are given over to the vices
of their corrupt religion. The pagans
cannot understand why this despised
race is so superior to them in their
manner of living, but one day before
the Judge of all nations, their eyes
will be opened.
