been nu1lified in every respect. Eliot had been promoted within six months after his entry into the company's service to a higher position, and later the chief auditor was deposed and Eliot put in his place.
 At the time of my visit Eliot was re ceiving $10,oO0 year. He was no nearer to a knowledge of the cause Of his good fortune than when he re- ceived his first appointment. Indeed, the mystery thickened, as did his ad- vantages, for one morning on going to. his office he found on his desk type written, unsigned note advising kfm to buy the stock of the road at a given hg- ure and sell it at another given fig ure. He did not take advantage of the tip, but watched the sale of the stock, which fulfilled the conditions and were left with him he followed their suggestions. In this way he became independently rich.
 One day the managing director and virtual owner of the road died A few months later when his estate was be- ing settled 8 paragraph appeared in a newspaper stating that his real estate had all been deeded in a different name from the one by which he was known Then it leaked out that he had been a. large operator in his younger days. had become involved and his methods had landed him in prison. Eliot wrote me of this, and replied asking him if he could not in some way connect this singular development with his good fortune, but before my letter reached him received from him full explanation.
 In his youth Eliot had lived in the country near a state prison. One day man suddenly appeared at his home clad only in his shirt and drawers. He told Eliot that he had been taking q bath in the river below and some boys had stolen his clothes. IT Eliot would furnish him with an old suit he would be much obliged and would return an equivalent on reaching his home. Eli ot gave him the clothes, and the man went on his way. Later officials from the penitentdary came along hunting for an escaped prisoner. Eliot. who was a sympathetic fellow, could not find 1t in his heart to tell of his visitor.
 sI have no doubt" Eliot concluded. ttthat the prisoner whose escape my old clothes made good was my bene- factor"

NOVELTY cHEcKs.

Are We'll Adapted For Young olFls
 Novelty checks are particularly well adapted to suits for young girls. and black and white, brown and white, green and tan and other combinations are being shown by many Of the houses, says the Dry Goods Economist
 Braid is used to a considerable exs tent as a trimming, and at this early date fur is employed on some Of the high priced suits.
 The cape idea is being used to some extent on misses suits. and as 1t gives a youthful appearance it is expected to take better with the younger people than in the larger sizes.

BRIDAL suPERsTlT,oNa.

The bride must never dress in her complete wedding spiendor before the ceremony.
 She must put on her right shoe first and not try on her ring be fore 1t is placed on her finger at the altar
 She must not take any hand in making her bridal gown or her wedding cake.
 However happy she is, 1t will be wise for her to weep a little on her wedding day.
 She must notslook at herself in the glass when ready before she is married.
 To find spider on her wedding gown is a sure sign of happiness to come.
 To dream of fairies the night before means that she will be thrice blessed.
 Should she see a coffin as she starts on her wedding tour she must turn back and start again. It is considered most unlucky omen if the ring falls to the ground during the ceremony. It is better to be single than marry on board ship.
 To give a telegram to bride on the way to church is unlucky, for it portends i'll to come.

Have You Dyspepsia?
CAN'T EAT-CAN'T SLEEP-AL-
WAYS IN PAIN AND
SUFFERING.
"Eat What You Want" Says This
Physician.


"Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are, in almost
every instance, due to hyper-acidity.
Too much acid first produces dyspepsia
and indigestion; next the stomach walls
become irritated and it is only short
time until it eats through the walls,
causing ulcers in the abdomen, which
in turn are followed by cancer and
death; therefore stomach sufferers are
required to avoid eating food that is
acid in its nature, or which by chemi-
cal action in the stomach develops acid
| ity. Unfortunately, such rule elimin-
ates most foods which are pleasant to
the taste as well as those which are
rich in blood, flesh and nerve building
properties. This is the reason why
dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are
usually so lacking in that vital energy
which can only come from well-fed
body. For the benefit of those suffer.
ers who have been obliged to exclude
from their diet all starchy sweet or
fatty food, and are trying to keep up
miserable existance on glutenous
products, l would suggest that you
try a meal of any food or foods which
you may like in moderate amount, TAX
ing Immediately afterwards teaspoon
full of bisurated magnesia in a little
hot or cold water. This will neutralize
any acid which may be present, OF
which may be formed, and instead ol
the usual feeling of uneasiness and
fullness, you will find that your food
agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated
magnesia is doubtless the best food
corrective and antacid known. Drug'
only upset the stomach. Bisurated mag
nesia has no direct action on the stom
ach; but by neutralizing the acidity Of
the food contents, and thus removing
the source Of the delicate irritation
which inflames the delicate stomach
lining it does more than could possibly
be done by any drug. AS a physician
believe in the use of medicine when
ever necessary, but | cannot see tn
sense of dosing an inflamed and irri
tated stomach with drugs instead o
getting rid of the acid-the cause o
all the trouble. Get little Disurpte'

Wheat is not moving at all, as grow
ers are chary about even listening to
any offers less than 80 cents, and deal
ers refuse to take the hurdles, or try
to, at anything above SS. The latter
have been working on the theory that
tax would force the growers, but there
is no evidence of this having any ef-
feet. Harvesting is on in India and
Australia, but there are no offerings
from those sections yet.
A deal by which 1000 bales of hops
will be sent to London is being made
