DIDN'T FEEZE HIS BROTHER
OF Course He Was Not Going to Ad-
NIT That the Little Fellow
Was Afraid.

An Indianapolis matron was giving
a birthday party for her little daugh-
ter and had among the guests the two
sons of the family minister. They en-
joyed the party and made many quaint
remarks.
But at the supper table they did the
best. Suddenly the fuse burned out
and the dining room was in darkness.
The hostess urged the children to sit
still until she could get some candles.
But you may eat what is on your
plates If you wish TO while am hunt
ing them" she told them.
The youngest son of the parsonage
began to weep aloud. He was really
afraid, but his older brother offered
another explanation. "He doesn't know
what to do, Mrs. -" he said. "You
see we're used to light meals at our
house. '-Indianapolis News.

REBELLION
IN STOMACH
"Pape's Diapepsin" at once
ends Indigestion and
Sour, Acid Stomach

Jumps of undigested food cause
pain. If your stomach is in revolt ;
If sick, gassy and upset, and what you
just ate has fermented and turned
sour; head dizzy and aches; belch
gases and acids and eructate undigest-
ed food-just take a tablet or two of
Pape's Diapepsin to help neutralize
acidity and in five minutes you wonder
what became of the pain, acidity, in
digestion and distress.
If your stomach doesn't take care Of
your liberal limit without rebellion ;
IL your food is damage instead of a
help, remember the quickest, surest,
most harmless stomach antacid Is
Pape's Diapepsin, which costs so little
at drug stores.-Adv.

Plea Is Made to Save Lite
of General Felipe Angeles

New York.-A plea for the life Of
General Felipe Angeles, Villas lieu
tenant, who was captured by Mexican
federal troops, was made by telegraph
Friday to President Carranza of Next
CO by F. Gonzales Cara, governor of
the federal district of Mexico under
Madero. Cara appealed for clemency
on the ground Of the fidelity OF Gen.
eral Angeles to the cause which Car
rama and Cara supported during the
tragic week" marking the overthrow
of the Madero government.
TOO much Mexican blood" Senior
Cara declared in his message, has
been already spilled. For the sake of
memory OF your wife, whose remains
are perhaps still warm, for the mem
DRY Of your brother, sacrificed on the
altar of political passion, for the mem
ory Of the Apostle Madero, divine fore
runner of civil redemption in Mexico,
do not permit the blood of this citi-
zen, loyal to his country and to his
principles to be spilled. Honor your
ancestors, glorify that movement of
emancipation, uplift yourself by spar
ing the life of General Angeles, whose
ate is entirely in your hands"

Good Looks by Study.

The Cri de Paris, the weekly Cos
sip magazine, says that Maj. Sir Will
liam Orpen, the painter who is still
working on pictures of the peace con-
ference, was haunted by the idea, when
he was young. that the was very ugly.
He used to turn his face aside in
the street to avoid being seen.
Working as an art student, he no.
ticed that his fellowpupils, by dint
of mental concentration upon the beau
tiful models of antiquity, gradually
came somewhat to resemble them in
their own features. Orpen eagerly
awaited promotion to the same class.
and determined to spend all his time
copying the Venus de Milo. II shall
thus acquire her admirable expression
of naughty serenity" he said. "Un-
fortunately" he continues, when I
was promoted to copying antiquity my
master made me spend the whole year
drawing nothing but The Dancing
Faun.' so that never realized my am
btion."
