Nature ha« provided the stomach
with certain natural known as the di-
gestive juices, and it is through these
]uices that the food we eat is acted
upon in such away as to produce the
rich, red blood that flows through the
veins of our body and thereby makes
us strong, healthy and robust: and it
Is the weakening of these digestive
juices that destroys health. It is our
fault if we destroy our health, and yet
is so easy for anyone to put the stom-
ach out of orner. When you need to
take something take it promptly, but
take something you know is reliable-
something like Kodol for Dyspepsia-
and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant. <>
take, it is reliable and is guaranteed
to give relief. It is sold by the Bolton
Drug Co.

Carrying F.ur Brisks Half a Mile Is
Net an Easy Task.
The hardest won bet I ever
made," remarked the traveling man
as he shook the ashes off his dear,
"was to carry four bricks half a
mile. That sounds like a simple
thing to do^ doesn't it? Well, Ton
try it and you will find out whether
it is or not Of course the manner
of carrying the bricks is important.
A man bet me that I couldn't carry
two bricks in each hand from where
we were back to the hotel and put
them up on the oounter. The
bricks were to be put side by side
and grasped, two in each hand, be-
tween the thumb and fingers, the
fingers pointing down. I was not
allowed to stop and reet nor to put
the bricks down.
"Well, thought I, that's $2 easily
earned, so I took the bet and start-
ed. For a quarter of the distance
it was easy, and I already felt that
$2 in my pocket. But then my
fingers began to grow tired. The
muscles between my forefingers and
thumbs were soon aching terribly.
My arms began to pain me and to
throb like mad. I found myself
setting my teeth together, and the
cords in my neck were in a high
state of tension. When I came
within a hundred yards of the hotel
there was scarcely an inch in my
whole body that was not aching as
if I had been stuck full of pins.
"I don't know how I managed to
go that last little distance. I could
no longer stand erect, and I was
trembling like a leaf, and yet the
other fellow was alongside, laugh-
ing as if to split his sides. And
when I got into the hotel it was all
I could do to raise first one hand
and then the other and put the
bricks on the counter. I know that
I couldn't have gone fifty feet far-
ther. I got the $2, but the next
day I could scarcely move, and 1
didn't get over the soreness for a
week. It looks easy, but just you
try it."—Detroit Free Press.
8oma Queer Shoes.
Wje are all familiar with the
wooden shoe of the Chinese, with
its dark cloth top. The Portuguese
shoe has a wooden sole mid heel,
with a vamp made of leather, fanci-
fully showing the flesh side of the
skin. The Persian wears a high
shoe made of light wood richly in-
laid, with a strap extending over
tho instep. The Muscovite shoe is
hand woven, on a wooden frame,
and but little attention is paid to
the shape of the foot. Leather is
sometimes used, but the sandal is
generally made of silk cordage and
woolen cloth. The Siamese shoe has
the form of an ancient canoe, with
a gondola bow and an open toe.
The sole is made of wood, the upper
of inlaid wood and cloth, and the
exterior is elaborately ornamented
in colors with gold and silver.
Lincoln's "Hot." Trade.
When Lincoln was practicing law
in Illinois, he agreed with a certain
judge that they should make a horse
trade at 9 o'clock the next morning,
neither to see the other's horse un-
til the time of the trade and the
one who backed out to lose $25.
The judge was on time, leading
the sorriest looking nag ever seen
in those parts. In a few minutes
Lincoln arrived, carrying a wooden
sawhorse on his shoulder. The
crowd laughed uproariously, but it
was nothing to the din that went up
when Lincoln set down his saw-
horse, walked solemnly around the
sorry nag produced by the judge
and exclaimed pathetically, "Well,
judge, this is the first time I ever
got the worst of it in a horse trade!"
Superstitious Fishermen.
Herring fishermen in the old
world are many of them remarka-
bly superstitious. For instance, on
some fishing boats whistling is for-
bidden, and neither milk nor burn-
ed bread is allowed on board. Fur-
thermore, not even the name of
that unlucky animal, the hare, may
bQ mentioned, and a common meth-
od of punishing an enemy is to
throw a dead hare into his boat.
Some of the fishermen believe in
luck attending an odd numbered
crew, but tho good fortune may be
neutralized should one of the num-
ber have red hair.
A Mean Trick.
Some sordid soul who wanted to
cause distress and suffering among
his friends entered his club the oth-
er day and wrote on the bulletin
board the name of a town over in
Wales and offered a priae to any-
body who could pronounce it. Here's
the name of the town: Llanfairpwll-
gwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllantsy-
iliagagogoch.
Then the Quarrel Ceased.
They were having the usual fam-
ily quarrel. As was also usual, she
could not convince him that she
knew whereof she argued.
"Didn't I go to school, stupid?"
she screamed.
"Yes, dear, you did," he replied
calmly, "and you came back stupid."

A Wonderful Fellow.
There a-o many kinds of celeb-
rity. When Ilavdon, the painter,
visited St atford he held forth
about Shakespeare to some rustics
he met in a wayside inn. They told
him that Stratford then contained
"another wonderful fellow, one
John Cooper." '

SAWING! THE SPILES.
A Problem In Wharf BtiiMInf Whlsli
Seems Hard, but Isn't.
When in building a wharf thqr
have got the spiles driven you see
then! first standing in rows and
sticking up above the water at un-
even heights and with their tops all
frayed. Then the surplus upper
length of the spiles has to be sawed
off so that the stringers upon
which the wharf planking will be
laid can rest upon them. And the
question is, How do they manage
to saw off each spile so that it will
have a perfectly flat and level head,
and how do they manage to get all
the spiles sawed off at exactly the
same height? They do this in the
simplest way in the world.
The spiles all driven, they spike
along to each row, at a little dis-
tance below where they are to cut
them off, planks, upon which they
lay crosswise other planks to make
a scaffolding to work on. Then
along each row of spiles at the
height where they are to be cut off
they draw a leveling line, which,
drawn taut and leveled up, touches
every spile in the row at exactly
the same height, and then to eacn
spile they nail two smooth topped
crosspieces, little strips of board,
one on either side of the spile, like
the crosstrees on a mast, only short-
er, these cross strips being nailed
on so that their tops just touch the
underside of a leveling line. And
then the sawyers, with their long
crosscut saws, worked by a man at
each end, come along.
The crosspieces nailed to the
spile show exactly where it is to be
cut off, and they serve also as
guides and supports for the saw in
cutting the spile off true. Resting
the saw blade on their projecting
end3 at one side, the men saw and
saw until they have sawed the spile
off. And so they keep on until they
have got them all sawed off and
ready for the stringpieces. — New

A Compensstion.
It was not always possible for
Mrs. Leahy from her permanent
station at the washtub to appre-
ciate the silver lining which Mr.
Leahy discovered in every cloud and
pointed out to her.
"I've lost me job, Nora," he said
cheerfully, "but this is the time
you'd ought to be thankful I'm not
as smarrt as some."
"Why would I be thankful for
that?" inquired Mrs. Leahy, paus-
ing for an instant to wipe her glis-
tening forehead with her damp
apron.
"Tis aisy seen," and her hus-
band gazed tolerantly at her from
his comfortably tipped back chair
by the stove. "If I was Terry Do-
lan now and out of me job, I'd be
losin' t'ree dollars a day instead o'
wan sivinty-five. You think o' that,
me darlin', an' 'twill put the hearrt
into you same as it has into me."
Youth's Companion.
Freddy Knew.
A clergyman who farms some of
his own glebe wa3 recently address-
ing a meeting of young friends,
comparing himself to a good shep-
herd calling his flock to follow him.
Looking toward hia audience, with
a self congratulatory smile, he in-
quired :
"And now who among my young
friends can tell me what I do to my
flock ? Can no one tell me ? Ah, I
thought so. There's Freddy, the
very youngest among you, is ready
with his answer. Stand up, Freddy,
my boy, and tell me!"
"Shear 'em, sir; shear 'em."—
Liverpool Mercury.
An Unexpected Result.
A freight train pulled into a small
station, and a ventriloquist on the
platform thought he would have
some sport, so he threw his voice
under a car, saying: "Let me out!
Let me out!" The station agent
was .called, and he hastened to un-
fasten the door of a car. After
working for a time he got the door
open and out walked four tramps,
all of whom disclaimed that they
had asked to be let out. The ven-
triloquist had builded better than
he knew and had stepped upon the
ride of the four hoboes, who were
left behind
His Eyeglass.
It was merely a single eyeglass
that the young swell wore, and
Uncle Hayrick had never seen one
before.
"Jes' look at that!" he exclaimed
to his wife under his breath.
"What's the meanin' on it, do you
think?" she inquired.
"I d'no—onless, maybe, he's buy-
in' his spectacles on the installment
plan."—Pearson's Weekly.
A Mean Suggestion.
A famous London physician was
asked out for some shooting. But,
though he tried several times, he
could not hit a singtB rabbit.
"It's awful!" he exclaimed. "I've
killed nothing all day."
"Never mind," said his host.
"Write the rabbits one of you* pre-
scriptions."—London Answers.
