Tiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Indigestion Stomach trouble is but a symptom of. and not tn Itself a true disease. We think of Dyspepsia. Heartburn, and Indigestion as real diseases, yet they are symptoms only of a certain specific Nerve sickness —nothing else. < thl ? fa o * that first correctly led Dr. Shoop in the creation of that now vety popular Stomach Remedy—Dr .’Shoop’s Restorative. Going direct to the stomach nerves, alone brought that success and favor to Dr. Shoop and his Restorative. Without that original and highly vltal principle.no •uch lasting accomplishments were ever to be had. For stomach distress, bloating, biliousness, bad breath and sallow complexion, try Dr. Shoop’s Restorative —Tablets or Liquid— and see for yourself what It can and will do.

t Country Is Sound and Conditions Are Bettering. By EDWARD H. HARRIMAN, Railroad Financier. ;;♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ HE farmers of the country were NEVER SO RICH < > jMBHF «» as they are today. The farmers have money, they o have paid their debts, they are past the promotion ; • t • era; in fact, the promoter has no part to' play just J J •’ now in the affairs of the country. ’ ********* + THE people have emerged from a period OF EXTRAVAGANCE AND ARE LIVING RIGHTEOUSLY IN POINT OF ECONOMICS. EIGHTY MILLION PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED SPENDING AND ARE NOW AT WORK MAKING MONEY. » This state of affairs is LARGELY DUE TO THE GOOD CONDITION OF THE RAILWAYS and the extended capacities of transportation lines. This past time of depression is the only one in the history of the nation when important railway lines have not gone bankrupt and been placed in the hands of receivers. This is because most of them had been PUT INTO PROPER CONDITION. Those lines which had given proper attention to the constructive side of their business and had given the care to details that was needed escaped with the minimum of financial suffering. Those which failed to do these things are the ones which are suffering, or, rather, which did suffer? As it is, no line of importance has got into trouble. THE COUNTRY IS GETTING ALONG NICELY AND IS SOON TO GET ALONG BETTER. Less Politics and More Business Would Improve Our Cities and Towns. By Governor SIMEON S. PENNEWILL of Delaware. I BELIEVE that political parties are necessary, and I also believe that all good citizens should take some interest and part in political affairs, but I am as strongly of the opinion that conditions in our cities and towns would be very much improved if there could be LESS POLITICS AND MORE BUSINESS IN LOCAL AFFAIRS. IF REPRESENTATIVE MEN OF THE DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES, INCLUDING PARTY LEADERS, COULD MEET AND AGREE • UPON SUCH MEASURES AND THINGS AS WOULD BEST PROMOTE THE TRUE INTEREST AND WELFARE OF THE CITY, IT WOULD BE EXCEEDINGLY HELPFUL AS WELL AS SURPRISING. The thing that the careful and conscientious legislator is most anxious to know and the most difficult to ascertain is WHAT THE PEOPLE DESIRE AND WHAT THEY NEED. When there is a practical consensus of opinion his duty is plain. Otherwise he is often at sea and thinks it better to do little or nothing at all. I know our legislatures are composed of good, honest and capable men, reasonable men, favorably disposed to the enactment of such laws as are best for the state and every part of the state. WHAT THEY WANT IS RELIABLE, DEFINITE AND SATISFACTORY INFORMATION, AND THIS CAN ONLY 'BE FURNISHED BY THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES. THE IDEAL WOMAN By the Rev. Dr. LYMAN ABBOTT of New York. CHE ideal woman must discard all shoes the size of which makes walking well nigh impossible. She must not consider her hands when it comes to a question of work. She must TAKE EXERCISE AND LET PAINT AND POWDER GO IF SHE DESIRES RED CHEEKS. She must not be the servant of the milliner and dressmaker. She must not change her styles at the dictation of men in Paris. HER HOME MUST BE HER PALACE, and she must be industrious, sympathetic, energetic, enthusiastic, motherly and a true friend. A woman’s idea of modern industry is playing bridge whist morning and night. Her idea of modern life is to be supported by some one else. - THE IDEAL WOMAN DOES NOT CONSIDER WORK UNWOMANLY. BHE BELIEVES THAT WHATEVER CONCERNS HER HUSBAND CONCERNS HER. IF THE IDEAL WOMAN’S FAMILY FINDS FAULT WITH HER COOKING, SHE DOES NOT BLAME THE COOKING, BHE BLAMES THE FOOD AND CHANGES IT. WOMAN WAS MEANT TO BE MAN'S COMPANION, AND IF THE IDEA WERE PROPERLY CARRIED OUT THERE WOULD BE NO AF* FINITIEB. Unless Railroad Accidents Diminish Government Must Intervene. By W. L PARK. Genera! Superintendent of the Union Pacific Railroad. RAILROAD men must admit that the long list of appalling accidents, accompanied with fatalities and personal injuries to passengers and employees, many of which were avoidable, is a blot on their escutcheon WHICH MUST BE WIPED OUT before they can return to the full confidence of the greatest of earthly judges, public sentiment.’. It is a fact that not a few railroad accidents are whitewashed in the investigation to the extent that the officials even deceive themselves. Unless railroad men are willing to let the politicians take from their hands the reins and govern the railroads with inexperience and theory they must ANALYZE THE PRESENT CONDITIONS and shape the future policy in this respect. UNLESS ACCIDENTS ARE PREVENTED TO A GREATER DEGREE THAN NOW OBTAINS THE STRONG ARM OF THE GOVERNMENT MUST INTERVENE, BE THE CONSEQUENCES WHAT THEY MAY. I

THE STOLEN KISS

Esme Barton as she rode along on her trusty little cob paid no heed to the weather, so absorbed Was she in her own thoughts. Ralph Underwood was coming that night to ask her to be his wife, she felt sure, for his manner at the Pletchers’ dance the other evening had been unmistakable. r - ' What answer should she give him? Could she ever love a man she did not altogether trust? Ah, if only Jack could speak she knew what answer she would give if he ever asked the same question, but Jack never would now, though years ago he had shown in a hundred little ways that he loved her. But that was before his father died and Briarsmere was found to be mortgaged and all the affairs terribly involved. So now Jack was a poor man and had even undertaken work as Underwood’s agent to pay off the mortgage which Ralph held. Esme was rich and could do as she liked with the fortune she had inherited from her mother, but was powerless to help Jack because of that unwritten law that “a man is to woo, a woman to be wooed.” The rain poured down and at last awoke Esme to a sense of what was going on around her. The rain was coming down in torrents. and an ominous roll of thunder in the distance made Beauty tremble. It was a lonely part of the road. Only a little cabin, much out of repair, was in sight. She hastened toward it, not knowing if Mrs. O’Grady still occupied the place or whether she had already gone to live with her sister in Kerry. On trying to lift the latch Esme found it was locked, but discovered a shelter in the peat shed at the back. As she stood there caressing her horse to allay its fears she was startled to hear a key fitted into the lock of the door in front of the house. The boards of the mud covered walls were ill fitting and rotten, and Esme could distinctly hear two men talking as they entered and shook the water from their clothes. “A good thing we were so near the place,” said Underwood. “Yes,” answered a voice which made Esme blush in the semidarkness; “it is a bad storm, but it will soon be over. I am not sorry it has come now, as you will see that something must be done to the place before another tenant occupies it. It isn’t fit for a dog to live in, much less a human being.” “I shall do nothing. It’s no use spending money on property of this kind. These peasants are used to pigging it. Leave the place alone.” “That is, of course, your affair, Mr. Underwood,” said Jack> “In my posh

fion as agent it was my duty to point out to you what was needed, but I cannot make you do it. Only I tell you as man to man that the neglect of your tenants’ Interests is a disgrace to the neighborhood. I have worked as your agent in order to work off the mortgage which you hold on my property, but I suppose the foreclosure you threaten must come now, for I cannot work for yon any longer and have not money to redeem the estate.” “And pray why am I to lose your valuable services?” said Underwood. “You know that during my management your profits have nearly doubled, but when it comes to distilling liquors in underground distilleries and expecting me to be a party to the fraud I draw the line.” , ‘‘How dare you speak like this to me!” said Underwood, choking with rage. “You pauper, if I had not employed you you would have starved!" “You are exaggerating my poverty,” said Jack in a calm tone. “It is true by honest work I hoped to regain my property, but when you expect dishonest work you have come to the wrong man. “By, the way,” continued Jack, and Esme could hardly catch his words, for he was already in the road, “I have ordered back the pipes and stills.” “The dickens you have!” roared Underwood as he paced the miserable room. A quarter of an hour later Esme was in the cozy office of her friend and adviser, Mr. Rance. “It is a large sum of money to invest in landed property, Miss Esme.” “I know,” said the girl in her quids, bright way, “but what does that matter? I have ever so much more when that is spent. Besides, I happen to know the mortgage will be foreclosed if this money is not paid, and I have other reasons as well.” Beauty, trotting along in the twilight, was within a mile of her own warm stable when she suddenly swerved from a dark figure walking rapidly along in the shadow. Esme, who had been sitting loosely in the saddle, thinking over her afternoon’s work, W’as taken unawares and flung violently to the ground. Stooping over her, Jack—for it was he who had unwittingly frightened the cob—lifted her quickly in his arms. She was dazed and stunned, and as her head rested on ids shoulder he stooped and, pressing his lips to hers, stole the kiss that he never dared to hope would be his by right. “Esme.” he said after a pause, in which each read the other's heart, “I never dared to hope that you had given me your love, and I have no right to ask you to be my wife, for la a few Weeks I shall have no home. Briarsmere is no longer mine. I kissed you because I' could not help it as you lay in my arms and I thought you had fainted.” “Briarsmere is mine,” said Esme..

Felt Sure of That.

“Shall I tell you a secret?” “Do you know it?* “Of course I do.” “Then it isn't one.”

It Is hard for a woman to understand business and from her point of view quite undesirable. One thing that pleases us about old winter Is that he is sure to have some brand of spring up his sleeve and can’t resist springing it sooner or later.
