HARLEM|TE M0URMS
FOR 0LD:T|ME GOAT
Irishman Tells of the Days
When Pugnacious Animal
Reigned in Upper Gotham.

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-At a point
where an unusual street cuts across
Fort Schuyler road in the far reaches
Of the Bronx a little old man stood
eagerly watching a large and active
goat that was tied to a massive stake
In the middle Of the lot.
The goats actions were characteris-
tic. He seemed to have taken strong
dislike to the idea Of being tethered.
First. he would go UP and investigate
the stake. smelling 1t and rubbing his
horns against 1t. Then he backed off
short distance and mildly butted 1t.
Finally he seemed to decide that he
could do nothing with 1t and turned
around. He assumed the attitude of
sprinter. and then dashed wildly to
the end of the rope. The rope ought to
have broken. but it did not. The goat
went straight up in the air and landed
with a thump on his back. He got up
dazed and then tried 1t all over again.
The little man in the meantime eJac-
ulated in great delight and cheered the
goat on to victory, which came when
and calmly set about gnawin' it through.
In less than two minutes he was free.
and with a snort of mingled contempt
and Joy made off toward the deep fast
nesses OF uncharted territory.
"Oh, tn darlin'! TIL darlin'!" ex-
claimed the little man. II knew It! I
knew it! Sure. he's one Of tn old man
eaters we used to have down In Har-
lem thirty years ago! ] knew I'm tn
miEit | set eyes on i'm. Did ye note tn
proud toss av his head? An. did ye
see the cunnin devil? Sure. he chewed
himself loose whin he found pcrsua sion
didn't pay. Oh. but l know tn breed!
I'VE had thousands av thin In Har-
lem In tn old days. The scientist sharps
used to guy them an call them Capri
corni Harlemenses.' and one of them,
after he had an argument with my old
billy, swore that they came OF no earth
ly breed and were sired by the divid
himself.
We'll 90 l remember tn devastation
that old goat accomplished. / got him
when he was kid. a little sickly kid,
and raised him on a bottle. He was SO
poor lokin' that / used to put a small
dash OF mountain dew in his condensed
milk. and before long he got healthy
and grew like anythin. 1t wasn't till
he was near a year old that he com
mcnced to go wrong and when he got
started he went to the bad in a hurry,

Stomach Sufferers
Should Avoid Pepsin

Eminent stomach specialists
like Riegel have proved that there
is not one case in twenty which
needs pepsin or an artificial d.
gestant. The trouble is not a
lack of digestive jlces. but too
much acid In the stomach.
Neutralize the excess acid in
your stomach, give the digestive
juices a chance to act, thus avoid
ing poisonous gases and toxic pro-
ducts which often cause bilious
ness, internal disorders, nervous
ness, headaches. general weak
ness. ETC., and you will be all
right. Never take large quanti-
ties Of soda or soda tablets to
neutralize excess acid. II is
dangerous.
Bisurated Magnesia will neu-
tralize about four times as much
acid as soda and Is very soothing
and healing to the delicate, in
famed membranes of both the
stomach and intestines. II usual
ly gives relief in the worst. cases
in from one to five minutes.
Bisurated Magnesia is prepar-
ed in both powder and tablet
forms and all leading druggists

nlete relief In any case Of stom-
ach aeidity or your money VIII

To change the rules while the

ARICO, Chile, May Two
countries of South America have
no seacoast. These are Bolivia
and Paraguay. Before passing on
to Chile, / want to tell you some-
thing about Bolivia.
There are three ways of get
ting to Bolivio-one may go from
the Peruvian port of Mollendo,
where l have spent four days =
little barren town of which we
have many duplicates in Nevada,
Montana and Arizona. The trip to
La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, Is
about two days from here and one
must travel part of the way on
Lake Titicaca, which is the high
est lake In the world.
May Go BY AricO
Or one may go to BOLIVIA from
the Gillian port of Arico-where
| am now writing-the very small!
but pretty little town from which
nitrate is shipped. A new railroad
now connects La Paz with this
Gillian port.
Or one may go to La PaZ also
from the more southerly CHILEAN
port of Antofagasta, which / ex-
pect to reach tomorrow. This is
believed by many to be the best
route, but the best is not very
good.
Whatever route one takes a
olip,h of about nm fact ahouo
sea level is necessary in order to
cross the great Andes mountain
range that, like fence, stretches
along the entire western coast OF
South America.
Two Million People
Bolivia is about eight times tn
size of New England-it not being
quite as large as Peru. In the
opinion of many, however, it's re.
sources equal those of Venezuela,

which three-quarters are Indians

has population of about $4,000
Although this city is the high.

Moreover, these are not fake
mines, such as are sold I'm

But why are these mines for

are so inaccessible. You who

"The German fleet is seeking
the British Armada. 1t has re-
peatedly cruised in the North Sea,
and found no foe. Where is
Britain's boosted rule of the

These expressions are found in
recent dispatches from Germany.
They seem to forecast the great
est sea battle in all history.
1t is suspected that the German
fleet is mightier than her enc
mics think 1t. German manufac-
turing capacity is wonderful. She
has had since nearly year ago to
build ships in anticipation Of this
very crisis. She has great in

The humbling of the British
