STOMACH MISERY FOR OVEK
SIX YEARS.
Read what Mr. Hoffman, landlot I
of the Webster hotel, writes :
“I suffered misery and inten e
pains from stomach trouble for ov-
er six yean, and all the doctoring
that I did or medicines I used were
of no avail until about two years
ago, when I used a treatment of Mi-
Of-na; The first few days’ treatment
helped me greatly and upon using it
a while I was made entirely five
from any stomach trouble or com-
plaint whatever. Since the cure by
Mi-o-na I have regained my weight.
I eat and sleep well, am never ner
vous, and my entire general health
is much better.”—Max M. Hoffman
Webster, N. Y., Aug. 2, 1909.

DIES FROM POISON
Our Great Naval Hero and the Ouch*
eee of Chartres.
The Duchess of Chartres was an en-
thusiast In the cause of American lib-
erty and a warm friend of its great
naval champion. Paul Jones, whom
she nicknamed the “Untitled Knight
of the Sea.” The duchess was a royal
princess and a very great lady, and
Captain Jones was a sailor, self edu-
cated and the son of a Scotch garden-
er, but tn the exchange of gifts and
Compliments which, according to the
custom of the day in France attended
their friendship, be was not to be out-
shone.
At a luncheon which she gave just
before be sailed from France in the
Ranger on that famous cruise of bls
which carried the war to the very
shore of Britain It was the good for-
tune of Paul Jones to share-in a con-
versation touching a French naval en-
gagement in which the grandfather of
the duchess had borne a conspicuous
part and to. defend and explain bis
maneuvers on that occasion, showing
a knowledge of every ship and every
captain engaged and winning on the
spot the ardent personal adherence of
Mme. de Chartres.
At the close of the feast she present-
ed him a valuable watch which bad
been her grandfather's. Taken by sur-
prise. the American captain neverthe-
less accepted it with a grace that
charmed the courtly company, promis-
ing that tn return, if fortune fsvond
him, be would some day “lay an Eng-
lish frigate at ber feet.'*
It was a daring boast, but in A. C.
Buell’s biography of Paul Jones it is
related bow he kept IL Within two
years occurred the marvelous victory
of the Boobomme Richard over the
Bera pls. concerning which the victor
wrote the duchess a letter, ending.
“The enemy surrendered at thirty-flve
minutes past 10 p. m. by your watch,
which 1 consult only to flx the moment
of victory.”
That was a phrase to-delight a so-
ciety that reveled in pretty phrases,
and the duchess was amply satisfied
When Paul Jones reached Parts she
gave a grand banquet in his honor.
Just before ft ended be reminded ber
of ber gift and his promise. A servant
was sent to his room and returned
with a long leather case, which the
duchess took amid the exclamations
and eager curiosity of the company.
“Your royal highness perceives the
impossibility of keeping my promise
in kind.” explained the knight of the
sea, smiling. “The English frigate
proved to be a forty-four on two
decks, and she is now at Lorlent with
French colors flying. The best 1 can
do toward keeping my word of two
years ago is to place In your dainty
hands the sword of the brave officer
who commanded her. 1 have the hon-
or to surrender to the loveliest of wom-
en the sword surrendered to me by
ope of the bravest of men—the sword
of Captain the Hon. Richard Pearson
of big Britannic majesty's late ship,
tbe Seraois. "
