BALTIMORE HIGH SPOTS
Boss Charley Murphy, of Tam
many hall, was the center of in
terest at the convention last
night, SO they tell US.
Murphy also was the center of
interest in the Emerson hotel
dining room yesterday, although
he's not talking about it much.
There's a lot of green walters
working in Baltimore. One of
them, carrying a tureen of nice,
pink tomato soup passed where
Murphy was sitting, framing up
how to put Champ Clark over.
It's a question whether it was
Murphy's or the walters fault.
Anyhow, the pink tomato soup
went down the deck Of Mr.. Muir
ply, and the language was sur
prising.
Those who haven't seen Muir
ply cannot appreciate this fully.
Murphy may own a saloon or
three, but he looks more like a
college professor than Woodrow
Wilson, and wears gold-rimmed
glasses, and elegant clothes.
There's no betting on the NOM
nation. With leading candidates
200 votes shy, and deadlocks and
dark horses roaming about loose,
sporting instincts are squelched.
Joe Letter, who once ran cor
ner in wheat, thereby finding out
how little he knew about running
corners, is interested spectator at

Ollie James, the permanent

Ollie is for Clark, which is all

the Baltimore police beat the

Also, just after the 10th ballot,
when Tammany switched, last
night, Ollie felt called upon TO
remark: -"C1ark has received
more votes than a majority but
not enough to nominate, so wen

This nearly caused a riot. Big

next young nan who leaves MS native
place carries with him another appoint
rent as New York correspondent, and
passes through the same "outne.
There are thousands Of sensible, hard
working American citizens Of foreign birth
who possess. at the bottom OF an cid
trunk. a forgotten appointment as Ameri-
can correspondent to newspapers in provin-
cial European towns that are not even ia
miliar names to us. Sometimes they hap
pen upon #. and smile in reminiscencs
over it, and at themselves. Life is queer
at its beginnings in the transportation

What about American amateur corre-
spondents in Europe asked the art critic.
They vary. Occasionally the natural
lied American reads them with pleasure
and profit and admiration. Oftenest how
ever. they are source of amusement and
evaporation to him, they are so utterly
wrong and uniformed in their point OF
view. When II comes to a certain con-
descension in foreigners the American
has turned the tables on the European
nowadays, especially in the books of travel
that are being turned out in an endless
stream by our schoolma'ams and young
women generally. Not so long ago drew
the unavoidable conclusion from an Amer
team book on Sicily that ul-fitting false teeth
are an unpleasant national character traic
Of Polish gentlewomcn. Another American,
who might know better, has asserted in
one of our magazines that the Germans
deliberately, and as a matter of male pre-
rogative. make THEN women carry the
heavier tourist sacks on walking tours. II
is preposterous- preposterous as would
be the statement of European tourist in
this country that tens of thousands OF
American men make their wives do all
their own homework i'm order to squander
money on secret societies, their entertain
ments and uniforms. The mutual misun-
derstandng and Misrepresentation of the
civilized nations is something that never
stops puzzling me. And the worst of II for
us loyal naturalzed Americans is that we
get lust as mad when We see European
misrepresentation of America as when We
have to read American representations OF
our mother country. We get 1t both ways.

Many people have poor teeth. weak

troubles that prevent vigorous masti-
cation OF food. And instead of eating
soft. mushy food that pals on the appe-
tite they go In for those savory dishes
the very odor of which starts the
saliva and makes the stomach fairly
revel with anticipation.
This is but natural condition. Any
thing else borders upon the indiffer-
ence which fosters indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia.
1t may be safely said that 1t should
not be a question of diet or kind of
food, or teeth or even any Of the re-
fiexes which are supposed to have their
influence in deranging the stomach. 1t
is simply matter Of supplying the
stomach and digestive organs with
those known assistants, such as pepsin
and hydrochloric acid, both of which
have a direct and powerful action upon
the contents OF the stomach.
One grain of a single ingredient in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains OF food. This saves your
stomach and gives 1t the rest 1t needs
All muscles require occasional rest IL
they are overtaxed. The stomach is no
exception to this rule.

got along without them. They are sold
at so cents by all druggists everywhere.
