$50 she sat and waited for some lit
tie time until should come out. And
everyone waited with her. I was much
pleased and much flattered. ~
"You. see, the little girl wanted so
much to see me that she was willing
to wait that long for me, and yet there
were many other things she was to see,
for the family with whom live have
many interesting things to show.
$50 consider it was a great comph-
ment when they all sat and waited to
see me come out of my little house and
cuckoo cuckoo for them. I came out
just little bit after the half hour, as
I always do. ,~r> ~
'"That is, / come out a little after
the half-hour strikes and q little after
the hour strikes. Not very much after,
but just little. :. ''-,E'
II really wished could have stayed
out longer, so the little girl"cOuld have
seen me better, but I couldn't have
done that. ", -.-..' ,,.. -~'.~-
"They say that some Of the real
cuckoos aren't very popular with other
birds. But, then, there are plenty OF
creatures not so we'll liked as others.
"There are snakes, for example,
which aren't liked. I've heard folks
who came here talk about snakes. You
see as TIM in the dining-room I hear
q great deal of conversation, for the
people talk during their meals.
"Then I've heard that skunks weren't
popular, because they had very queer
odor about them. but that they can't
send forth that odor unless they throw
their tails over their backs. i
"That sounds funny, but suppose
it is true. It is part of the informa-
ton I pick up. You see, don't get
much, as I'm out but a few seconds
at q time. But, then, I'm out twice
during the hour, and so hear people
talk twice during the morning, twice at
noon and twice at night. s
. THAT makes six times all together.
And though I have something to say
every time / come out, listen to what
the others say, too. --..-E

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, SOurness and Pain.
How to Treat.

Medical authorities state that nearly
nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trou-
bloating, nausea, etc, are due to an ext
cess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
and not as some believe to a lack of di-
gestive juices. The delicate stomach lin
ing is irritated, digestion is delayed and
food sours. causing the disagreeable symp-
toms which every stomach sufferer knows
so well.
Artificial digestents are not needed in
such cases and may do real harm Try
laying aside all digestive aids and instead
get from any druggist a few ounces of
Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful
in a quarter glass of water right after
eating. This sweetens the stomach, pre-
vents the formation of excess acid and
there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated
Magnesia Tin powder or tablet fOrm-never
liquid or milk is harmless to the stom-
ach. inexpensive to take and is the most
efficient form of magnesia for stomach
purposes. 1t is used by thousands of peo-
pie who enjoy their meals with 10 more
fear of indigestion.-Adv.

REVIVAL IN SECOND WEEK

The revival being conducted in the Methodist Church by pr. c. R. Haudenschield is now in it's second week and interest is steadily growing. On Sunday, the Sunday school was better attended than for some time. For the morning and evening services there were good con- gregations and only a few less for the afternoon service.
 On Monday night there was a splendid crowd. The booster choir composed of about forty children sang and gave some of their yells which were appre- ciated by all.
 Tuesday evening was lodge night and the church was we'll filled, a large number of lodge men and women coming in a body. Miss Aphra Anderson sang "He Leadeth Me" and pr. Haudenschield preached on the theme, "Does It Pay?"
 Although those most inter ested in the meetings are great ly encouraged, there are many in the city who are missing the chance of a lifetime by staying away. Don't miss any more than you have to. You cannot afford to miss either the even ing services nor the afternoon bible lectures at 2:3O each af- ternoon. The services for Sun day are as follows:
 1O:a. m. Sunday School classes
 for all ages.
 II: a. m. The Enchroned Christ 3 80 D. m. The Atonement or the power of the Blood. ' 80 D. m. The Red Light.
