Physicians will all tell you that the

the root OF all evil but the cause of
most weak stomachs is bad teeth
When the teeth are decayed and sensi-

any food properly. Consequently the
stomach becomes very quickly disor-
gained.

was worth the picking up; saw him
self disgraced and discredited, hated
and ridiculed throughout the length
and breadth and circumference of the
very earth he had meant to rule; saw
himself discarded by the strong men
whom he had inyeigled into this futile
scheme and saw himself forced into
commercial death as wolves rend and
devour crippled member of their
pack; last, he saw himself loathed in
the one pure breast he had sought to

love which, If he had shorn it of its

GRADES IN MEXICAN ARMY
American Woman Learned Something
From Visit Paid Her by Detach-
ment of VilliStas.

Some years ago a humorous story
went the rounds of the newspapers
about a young lady who, at gather
ing of the Sons and Daughters Of the
American Revolution, held her head
exceedingly high, explaining her
naughty demeanor on the ground that
she was descended from bona tide
! private soldier-the only private, she
was convinced, In the Revolutionary
hosts. The following incident would
seem to indicate that the Mexicans
who are fighting today are almost as
well differed" as the patriot army OF
the young lady's lively fancy.
An American WOman-now safe in
the states-writes that five soldados OF
to her remote mountain camp. They
were very decent fellows, and made no
threats; still, in the absence of her
husband, it seemed only wise to give
them plenty Of food and drink, also to
yield gracefully to the request of one
of the number, who said he was the
captain, for the loan" of blanket.
Pretty soon a second warrior init
mated that he, too, could use blanket
to advantage in his campaigning, add
ing that he, too, was captain. When a
third made the same request, also an
nouncing his rank as that Of captain,
their hostess paused in her distribu-
ton OF blankets.
Tell me-" she inquired politely, us

captains?"
ooh, no, senora!" replied the one
who had first spoken. Il am Captain
Primero, this is Captain Segundo, and
that is Captain Tercero. Those"-in-
dicating the two remaining-"a the

And at this the admiring sonora, &C.
cording to her own account, at once

They were talking mechanically. In
them was an inexpressible sadness.
They had come SO near, and yet they
were so far apart. Moreover, they
knew that there was no chance OF
change. 1t was matter OF conscience
which came between them, and it was
a divergence which would widen with
the years. And yet they loved. They
mutually knew it, and it was because
of that love that they must stay

Hair Demand Exceeds supply.

During the last few years the expor-

increased to the point that the de-
mand for it now far exceeds the avail

pared with that of the average Euro
pean, the hair of the Japanese woman
is extremely long, elastic, and strong,
which gives it superiority for CONNER

in different colors, and subsequently

CHAPTER xxx.
A Vestry Meeting.

There was a strained atmosphere In
the vestry meeting from the first.
Every member present felt the tension
from the moment old Joseph G. Clark
walked in with Chisholm. They did
not even nod to Rev. Smith Boyd, but
took their seats solidly in their Gus
tomary places at the table, Clark,
shielding his eyes, as was his wont,
against the light which streamed on
him from the red robe Of the Good
Shepherd The repression was ap-
parent, too, in Rev. Smith Boyd, who
rose to address his vestrymen as soon
as the late-comers arrived.
Gentlemen" said he, II wish to
speak to you as the treasury commit
tee, rather than as vestrymen, for 1t
is in the former capacity which you
always attend. I am advised that we
have been paid for Vedder court"

gaze Of inquiry, nodded his head

writings, no outcries. He realized
calmly and clearly all he had done,
and all which had happened to him in
retribution. He saw the downfall of
his stupendous scheme of worldwide
conquest. He saw his fortune, to the
last penny, swept away, for he had in
vested all that he could raise on his
securities and his business and his
prospects, in the preliminary expenses
cf the International Transportation
company, bearing this portion OF the
financial burden himself, as part of
the plan by which he meant to obtain
ultimate control and command of the
tremendous consolidation, and become
the king among kings, with the whole
world in his imperious grasp, a sway
larger than that of any potentate who
had ever sat upon a throne, larger
than the sway of all the monarchs of
earth put together, as large terrestri-
ally as the sway of God himself! All
