Wortley & French Have Such Faith
in this Dyspepsia Remedy that
They Guarantee IL

One of the greatest successes in the
sale of medicine has been achieved by
Mi-o-na, the standard dyspepsia rem
edy, and it's sale is increasing so
rapidly that Wortley e. French, the
popular druggists, have hard work to
keep a stock on hand. 1t is very
popular with the bankers, ministers,
lawyers and others whose business or
profession keeps them closely confin-
ed, while those who have brought on
indigestion through irregular eating,
worry, or other causes, have found re-
lief in this reliable remedy.
Mi-o-na comes in tablet form and
is sold in a metal box especially de-
signed for convenience in carrying
the medicine in the pocket or purse.
IL is pleasant to take, gives quick re-
lief and should help any case, no mat
ter of how long a standing. This
remedy has been so uniformly sue
cessfui that Wortley & French will in
future sell Mi-o-na under a positive
guarantee to refund the money IL it
should not prove entirely satisfactory.

BENEFITS FROM BOOKS.
Travelling Along the Roads That Load

Us Into Other Worlds.
The benefit Of literature can hardly
be overestimated. Books enlarge a
mans horizon. They raise a mirage Of
water brooks and date palm to travel
ers in the desert They are "the sick
mans health, the prisoners release"
Shut within a narrow routine Of dull
where wrong triumphs, where beauty
has no assurance of respect where hui
manity tolls terribly merely for Its dali
ly bread or the satisfaction of trivial
appetites, the earthly pilgrim need do
no more than pick up book and, 10. he
steps into another world.
Here he is free from sorrow and care.
free from the burden OF his body, from
envy, jealousy, contempt, self satisfac
ton, from vain regrets, from wishes
that can never wear the livery OF hope.
from narrowness OF soul and hardness
Of heart.
He may mingle I'm the society of the
good and great he may listen to the
wise man and the prophet; he may see
all the conditions Of human happiness
and misery; he may watch the human
spirit In its strife with circumstances
nobly conquer or basely succumb; he
may go down through the gate OF a
hundred sorrows" or accompany Dante
and Beatrice through the spheres OF
paradise. -Atlantic Monthly.

FATE OF A PIRATE CREW.
Strange Case of the Nancy Brig and
Hungry Shark.

In the museum at Kingston, Jamaica,
there are some tattered ships papers,
brown with age and salt water, and a
small tin canister. These articles at
test the truth of the Strangest pirate
story ever told.
In 1893 the crew of the Nancy brig
were apparently honest traders but did
some piracy now and then on the side.
One day they found it necessary to go
into Kingston for supplies. Before do
ing SO they naturally removed all
traces of their buccaneering trade.
Among other things they threw over
board this tin canister stuffed with pa
pers taken from ships they had sunk.
with comments written on the margin
by the pirate captain.
Later in the day British frigate
was becalmed near the spot. and the
sailors spent their leisure catching
sharks. Presently they hauled up IA
big fellow, cut him open and found the
tin case with the papers inside. These
were taken TO the captain. who. as soon
as breeze sprang up sailed into
Kingston harbor found the Nancy brig
there and had the crew tried. convict
ed and hanged in chains ut Port Royal.

For music and greetings and mirth !;

We lift up our praise to the Father;
Accept our thanksgiving, o Lord!

ACCIDENTS OF FORTUNE.
incidents That Led to the RISE of Tive
Famous Dramatic Stars.

More than go years ago IL drama
tavern, overheard a girl in the next
room reading aloud from play book.
and he was so much pleased by the
sound of her voice and the fluenCy
and sprightliness OF her delivery that
he sought acqua. ntance with her, OBJ
tanned her confidence and opened for
her the way to IA successful dramatic
career. That girl. dramatic genius
thus accidentally discovered, was Anne
Oldlield. who adorned the English stage
for twenty-five years, whose ashes rest
In the cloister OF Westminster abbey
and whose name Is one of historic re-
nown.
A theatrical manager in Cincinnati In
the seventies, having planned to pro-
duce a popular comic opera with a
chorus composed of pupils from the
public schools, selected Sarah Frost,
then girl about twelve. perceived her
theatrical aptitude and provided the
opportunity for its development. The
manager was Robert E. J. Miles, and
under his direction she made her first
appearance on the stage and passed
her juvenile novitiate.
Her stage name ut first was Fanny

That Old Horse

Yes, he had pulled the heavy loads
in winter and cultivated the crop in
summer. The family have driven
him to the church every Sunday morn
ing. The children have piled on his
back and ridden around the fields and
enjoyed it very much. He has been
faithful and true to you and your fam
lily. To the best of his ability he has
made himself valuable to you. The
money he has made cannot be told,
for you have never kept an account
of the worth of the horse; but for
twenty years he has been worth from
fifty cents to a dollar a day. Of
course, he has more than paid you
for his feed and shelter.
Well, what are you expecting to
do with the old horse now? He is
stiff in the joints and blind in one eye.
He can not pull load, and the chill
dren are grown and gone, so they can
not ride him about any more. Did
you say that you were going to trade
him off or sell him to a peddler?
That would mean a hard time for the
faithful animal. Surely you would
not part with the horse that has help
ed to pay for your farm, keep the
family and rear the children. He has
earned his right to a peacable, quiet
old age, with good feeds of grain and
hay and the same warm stall. He
He has not failed you when
he was strong, and you should not
fail him when he is old and useless.
Let him come in and get his feed ev-
cry day, and permit him to lie down
to rest on the same good bed of straw.
And when he comes at last to the end
of the journey, bury his beneath the
friendly soil he has so often titled for
you.

Why Boiled Water Freezes Easily.

Water which is hot, of course, can
not freeze until it has parted with its
heat, but water that has been boiled
will, other things being equal. freeze
sooner than water which has not been
boiled. A slight disturbance of water
disposes it TO freeze more rapidly, and
this is the cause which accelerates the
freezing of boiled water. The water
that has been boiled has lost the air
naturally contained in it, which on ex-
posture to the atmosphere it begins

again to attract and absorb. During
this process of absorption motion is
necessarily produced among its parti.
cles, slight certainly and impercepti-
bic, yet probably sufficient to accel-
crate its congelation. In unboied wa
ter this disturbance does not exist. In
deed, water when kept perfectly still
can be reduced several degrees below
the freezing point without it's becoming
ice.
