Midshipman Smith, who was strlck-
en with typhoid fever on the Indiana
at Plymouth, England, contracted the
disease it Is said, from smoking a
briar used nearly a year ago by his
roommate at Annapolis who had a bad
case of typhoid. ThlB theory Is taken
as proof that concentrated nicotine
cannot destroy a^typhold germ. The
medical department of the navy will
examtpe Into the theory with the de-

ling ihe Stomachs and Bowels of
The Stylish Fisherman.
One of the guests of a fashionable
summer resort in West Virginia got
himself up in his best fishing togs and
started along a certain mountain
stream.__.:
Meeting a native, he asked: "Herp.
my good man! Kindly tell me whether
It would be worth njy while to try
fishing In tnls vicinity.'*
Tne native regarded him scornfully.
"The flshin' ain’t good,” he finally said,
"but I ain’t Informed as to how you
values your time.”—Lippincott’s.
pigeons.
It was,an Inconsequential act, that
of throwing crumb? to the pigeons but
It appealed to tho young bookkeeper
Any girl that would bring bread to the
office—or perhaps It was part of her
meager noonday lunch—Just to feed
the pigeons that hovered about ■her
window sill, must be a girl of amiable
disposition, the sort one could tell
one's troubles to with tbe assurance of
finding a ready sympathy. It made
him think of the picture on t^e back
of a plush alburn at home showing a
woman standing at the back steps of
a farmhouse throwing crumbs to tbe
English sparrows. The album had also
contained many family portraits, and
tbe recollection heightened tbe senti-
ment that tbe bookkeeper felt when
he saw the slender hand across the
court.
He found himself wondering about
the appearance of the owner of the
hand. She was not pretty, perhaps,
but he was certain that she wore
clinging, becoming gowns, and a
sweet girlish expression, no matter
how trying might be the day’s work
In the office; and that she had a com-
plexion as Boft and smooth as the
goods In a high-prlcea dress suit.
Day after day he regretted that the
windows were at such an angle that
he could see only the Blender, soft
white hand. Just a glimpse of the
face, with Its Indubitable expression of
tenderness, would have brightened
each day like the sight of the sunrise
o’er a distant mountain peak.
The bookkeeper wondered, too. If
the young woman of the slender white
hand would not find Joy and gladness
In knowing of the sentiment she had
stirred In the bosom of an entire
stranger by her simple act of kind-
ness In feeding the birds each day.
The other afternoon the bookkeeper
made up his mind to make the ac-
quaintance of the young creature.
It was not a difficult matter to cal-
culate where the young woman's win-
dow would be. She would be on the
floor corresponding to that on which
he worked In the other building. By
entering one or two office suites on
that floor and looking across the court
he got his bearings and soon found
himself In the rooms where she must
be employed.
An office boy with thick, round
glasses sat at a small table Just out-
side the door—HER door.
“I want to see the—I wish to see
the people In that room,” said the
bookkeeper, pointing to the door with
his thumb.
’’Well, gwan in,” the office boy told
him.
He looked about him. The sole oc-
cupant of the room was an underted,
anemic, sour-faced-looklng man of
perhaps 35 years, with watery blue
eyes and a scrambled, ready-tted neck-
tie. He had long, thin wrists, In con-
sequence of taking little exercise—
which lack of exercise had made him
a dyspeptic and given him an Irritable,
crabbed disposition.
“Who Is It that feeds the pigeons
there at the window every noon ?”
asked the visitor.
“I do,” replied the dyspeptic. ”1
can’t eat much myself, so I try to give
the pigeons a good time. Got any
objections ?”
The bookkeeper said he had none
whatever and made a hurried exit
"Wonder what that guy’s name was
anyhow T” muttered the dyspeptic to
himself after his caller had escaped.

How Lightning Splits Trees.
Lightning makes trees explode, like
overcharged boilers. The flame of tl*e
lightning does not bum them up, nor
does the electric flash spilt them like
an ax. The bolt flows through into all
the damp interstices of the trunk and
Into the hollows under Its hark. All
the moisture at once Is turned Into
steam, which by Its Immediate explo-
sion rips open the tree. For centuries
this simple theory puzzled scientists,
hut they have got In right at last.

No other medicine for woman’s ilia
has received such wide-Bpre&d and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med-
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound.
For more than SO years it has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, ulceration, local weak-
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, ana it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia E.

tains of gold ’’to suffering women.

8enator Smoot of Utah tells a story
on the late E. H. Harrlman, which
sounds somewhat familiar. He says
that when the Salt Lake cut-off was
completed Mr. Harrlman took a large
party of big railroad men out to It.
They had their pictures taken at
the right spot ecenlcally. Mr. Harrl-
man stood at one end of the group.
When the pictures were printed and
the photographer brought them around
the railroad men examined them.
“Why,” shouted one of the guests,
“where's Mr. Harrlman?”
“Do you mean that little chap that
stood at the end?” asked the photog-
rapher. "Why. I cut him off.”

Stomach Btood^and

Much sickness starts with weak stomach, and consequent
poor, impoverished blood. Nervous and pale-people lack
good, rich, red blood. Their stomachs need invigorating
for, after all, a man can be no stronger than his stomsch.
A remedy that makes the stomach strong and the liver
active, makea rich red blood and overcomes and drives
out disease-producing bacteria and cures a whola multi-
tude of diseaaea.

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA
’’No tongue can tell how I suffered
for five years with itching and bleed-
ing eczema, until I was cured by the
Cuticura Remedies, and I am so grate-
ful I want the world to know, for
what helped me will help others. My
body and face were covered with
■ores. One day It would seem to be
better, and then break cut again with
the most terrible pain and Itching. I
have been sick several times, but
never In my life did I experience such
awful suffering as with this eczema. I
had made up my mind that death was
near at hand, and I longed for that
time when I would be at rest I had
tried many different doctors and medi-
cines without success, and my mother
brought me the Cuticura Remedies, In-
sisting that I try them. I began to
feel better after the first bath with
Cuticura Soap, and one application of
Cuticura Ointment
“I continued with the Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and have
taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolv-
ent end consider myself well. This
was nine years ago and I have had
no return of the trouble since. Any
person having any doubt about this
wonderful cure by the Cuticura Reme-
dies can write to my address. Mrs.
