THE SANTA re SETTLEMENTS

II is an encouraging sign when a
corporation and the people 1t serves
can and do sit down together in har-
mony to discuss and settle a mooted
point. and no truer example of this
is to be found in the history OF the
southwest than at Ardmore, where the
Santa Fe railroad is settling every
lust and legitimate claim against it
arising from the recent disastrous
explosion.
one way OF accomplishing this end
is to rush pellmell into the courts
and clutter up proceedings for term
Of years by frenzied efforts toward
collection and efforts equally as de-
termined against settlement; but the
Ardmore way is the better way.
Frankly acknowledging its culpa'
bility the Santa Fe, through Presi-
dcut Ripley has already settled nearly
900 claims. aggregating n quarter of
a million dollars, and says II expects
to pay another half million soon. Its

HOW STOMACH ACIDS
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Sweeten Your Stomach, Dissolve the
Acid and Sourness, Gas, Pain, ETC.,
VIII PromptlY Stop


"If thine eye offend thee, pluck 1t
out" That's the way a good many
people treat their stomachs. They eat
food that doesn't agree with them, that
ferments, sours and causes sharp bit
ing acid to form in their stomachs,
which then begins to burn, bloat and
belch gas and wind. This they call IN
digestion and use some digestive pill
to stop the pain and get the food di-
gested out of the stomach. Artificial
digestion pushes this food, still sour
on and into the intestines where the
discomfort and pain stop, but the dam
age still goes on. Frequent forcing in
to the intestines of improperly digest
ed sour acid food means future mtes-
final disorders. Every time you take
a remedy that artiiicially digests FOOD

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE
AS Seen by the General

Public confidence is the great
est asset that any house of
business can possess. 1t is
more to be desired than the
ability to make money.
There are degrees of public
confidence. 1t may be zero, n
minus quantity, or n plus guam
tity. At zero no confidence eX-
ists-nobody is for or against
such a house. But this condi-
ton can exist only where the
house or its goods are unknown.
and as soon as the public has
| given the house n trial 1t will
pass Judgment, and public con-
fidence will then be expressed
by plus or minus sign, accord
ing to the approval or disap-
proval of the public as TO the
goods and policies OF the house.
| IL the goods are not as repre-
scented, or IL the policies are not
| in accordance with the ethics OF
4 good business. public confidence
will drop TO a minus quantity
and tho people will transact
business with its competitors
whose business ideals are on a
higher and more satisfactory
plane. II the goods are satis-
the house are right, the people
will continue to do business
with that house and will help
to build II up.
The plus sign OF public con-
| f'dence is always attached to
l the name OF a house OF business
| that considers service TO its
| customers. absolute integrity
| with reference TO its goods, and
| high ideals in its business poll
| cics, as being or greater conse-
quence than the mere earning
| OF dividends. A wen satisfied
| community OF customers is the
key TO the success OF any house
| OF business, and. having estah-
| lished this. dividends viii be
| sure to follow.

the floor, in the center Of a crowd of
attendants, lay the man who had sat
at the dinner-tabe with me an hour
before, still extended on the shutter on
which he must have been brought
there from the scene of the crime, and
literally weltering in his blood. Some
of his clothes had been removed and
flung into a corner, when | arrived,
and doctor, who must have preceded
me by barely minute, was turning
over the body of the unconscious man,
in his search for the fatal wound.
Il was just in time to see it-a hide
Gus pit in the back, into which | could
have thrust my two fingers, and from
which the thick black blood began to
ooze afresh as the doctor shifted the
position Of the victim.
Il turned my eyes away with a
feeling of sickness, while the doctor
began to call for lint and warm wa
ter. child could have seen that no
remedies were destined to be OF the
slightest avail AS my averted gaze
wandered round the hall, it was ar
rested by the pile of clothing which
| have already mentioned.
Something which l could not under
stand drew me towards these blood
stained garments with horrible fas-
cination. The overcoat, coat and
waistcoat of the murdered man had
apparently been stripped off together,
and lay on the floor at the foot of the
stairs in confused heap. | stepped
towards the spot slowly and looked
round. No one was observing my
movements; every eye was turned ON
the dying man. With my foot softly
turned over the clothes, till | came to
the overcoat. AS | did so, suddenly
caught sight of something which
caused me to gasp and reel back as If
l had been struck blow.
There, on the back, within an inch
of the bloody rent made by the as
sassin's knife, was long white thread,
identical in every respect with the one
which | had found on my own coat
within the very hour!
Urged by terrible suspicion, l
bent down hastily and snatched at the
thread 1t was firmly fastened to the
cloth!

Of the room, escorted by an equerry.
"In the vestibule Of the palace

"As was drawing it on the equerry
who had followed me made the remark
almost in the same words which you
have used this evening:
"'Pardon, baron, but there is white
thread on the back of your coat
II thanked him, and turned the coat
over to look for it. On the back |
found a long piece Of cotton. 1t was
ordinary enough in appearance, but
when | took hold of one end to remove
it, l found to my surprise that it was
firmly attached to the material Of the
coat.

ing no more of this trivial incident,
said goodnight to the equerry, and
started to walk home by myself. There
was bright moon, but the streets
were deserted, unusually SO, consid-
ering that the hour was by no means
a late one.
when had proceeded some dis.
tance, however, perceived in front OF
me a miserable-looking creature on
crutches, with bandage over one eye,
who boldly stopped me, and began to
beg for aims.
while I was trying to shake him
off, another man came up from behind
He paused a moment, as if to ascer-
tain what was the matter, whereupon
the beggar left me, and commenced

opportunity to make my escape, and
reached my house without further In,

"But the events of this night were
not over. AS soon as got in, went
straight to my safe, and locked away
the mysterious packet which had been
confided to me by M. Starovitch. AS
/ did so | observed that the envelope
was sealed with yellow wax, bearing
the Russian imperial arms. | then
sat down to a quiet game Of chess
with my attache, to tranquilize my
nerves before going to bed.

to put them en-.

Il made no reply, and he quickly
prepared himself. We left the house
arm-in-arm, and ten minutes walk
brought us to the prime minister's Of
ficial residence.
"The street outside the building was
blocked by an immense crowd, which
broke out every moment into fierce
groans. AS / came nearer | could
make out that one part of the crowd
was groaning for Austria, while the
other was groaning for Russia. On
one point they were evidently agreed,
namely, the political significance to
be attached to the crime which had
just taken place.
"The police on guard at the en-
trance were at first reluctant to let me
pass, without consulting their chief,
