Nature has provided the stomach with certain natural fluids known as the digestive juices, anp it is through these juices that the food we eat is acted upon in such a way as to produce the rich, red blood that flows through the viens of our body and thereby makes us strong, healthy and robust and it is the weakening k these diges tive juices that destroyes health. It is our own fault if we destroy our own health. and yet it is so easy for any one to put the stomach out of order. When vau need to take something take it promptly, but take something you know is reliable-something like Kodol For Dyspepsia and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant to take, it is reliable and is guaranteed to give relief. It is sold by W. E. Brown & Co. CARLOTTA AND NAPOLEON. Now the Crazed Empress' Curse Came to a Fulfillment. General Henrico d'Almonte was from 1863 to 1566 the ambassador of Em peror Maximilian of Mexico to the court of Napoleon III. The most inter esting and most pathetic episode to which D'Almonte was a witness and which is vividly described in his memoirs is the meeting between the scheming French emperor and daxi milian's wife. the beautiful and ambi tious Carlotta, who shortly before the catastrophe at Queretaro had come to Paris to invoke Napoleon's aid for the tottering throne of her husband. But napoleon III., who for his own per fidious purposes had by promises and allnurements induced .Ximma then archduke of Austria, to accept the "re stored" throne of Montezuma, faith lessly abandoned the unfortunate prince to his cruel fate as soon as he realized his schemes to be impractica ble. Even at her arrival in Paris Carlot ta's mind was already in such a high state of irritation that it was deemed advisable to have General 7 ~lmonte at her side during the meeti.. with-Na poleon, which took place in the em press' apartments at the Grand Hotel de Paris. What lends special interest to that Interview is the fact that the empress, crazed by desperation and fear for her husband's safety and by Napoleon's unsympathetic attitude, hurled a curse at the latter which in time was indeed fulfilled to the very letter. "The empress," says General d'Al monte. "pleaded, partly on her knees and in the most beseeching terms, with the stony Frenchman to no-avail. Then It was that I witnessed the most har rowing and dramatic scene of my life. Frantic with grief and excitement, the empress, with drawn mouth and flash ing eyes, sprang to her-feet, extending both her hands toward the retreating emperor. "'Leave me,' she yelled in a voice which cut through me like a sword 'leave me, but go laden with my curse -the same curse that God hurled at the first . murderer. May your own house and throne perish amid flames and blood, and when you are humbled In the dust, powerless and disgraced, then shall the angel of revenge trum pet Into your ears the names of Maxi milian and Carlotta. " At Sedan and by the- revolution in Paris Sept. 4. 1870, the unhappy Car lotta's curse was futBfled to the letter. -Captain Charles Kiener in Los An geles Times. Strength of Rings. Some elaborate calculations, backed by experiments, have been made in England to determine the breaking strength of rings. It appears that a ring of ductile metal, like malleable iron, will be pulled out into the form of a long link before it breaks.-and- that the ultimate strength of the ring is virtually independent of its unmeter. 7Fracture finally occurs as the result of almost pure tension, and the resistance to breaking- Is a little less than twice that of a rod of the same cross section subjected to a straight puil. As the ring increases In diameter there ap pears to be a slight approach toward equality, with double the strength of a bar. Thus a three inch ring, made of three-quarter inch iron, broke at nineteen and one-half tons, a four inch rinp at nineteen and nine-tenths tons and a six inch ring at twenty tons, the -strength of a bar of the same metal be'igten-and one-half-tons. Worse Than Too Bad. The suburbanite stood on the back platform of the car smoking his morn ing cigar. He struck up a conversation with the conductor whru that brass buttoned gent was not busy. "Whatever became of t~t basket of eggs that was left on your car?' he in quired. "I took them home," gloomily replied the conductor. At the astonished look from the~pas senger the conductor explained: "You see, any article left in my car Is mnine'if no one puts in a claim for it within six weeks. The six weeks were up yesterday, and the company -told me to take the eggs away." "Too bad," said the passenger. "Rotten," said the conductor.--Kan sas City Newsbook. * Shakespeare's Descendants.

Stomach troubles are very common in the summer time and you should not only be very careful about what you eat just now, but more thau this. you should be careful not to allow your stomach to become disordered, and when the stomach goes wrong take Kodol.

The capacity for stealing with art and elegance is one of the most potent equipments of the literary man. Shakespeare was a magnificent thief. He stole whatever he could lay his bands on in a literary way and never marred in the stealing. He stole "Measure For Measure" from a play called "Promos and Cassandra." He stole "Hamlet" from a play by George Kyd. "Romeo and Juliet" he stole from Italy. Sir Walter Scott stole with a sublime talent. He stole from antiquarian rec ords. He stole from Goethe. He stole I from Sheridan. Charles Reade claimed the right of the literary artist to set jewels, even though the gems are the property of another. Alexandre Dumas. the author of "The Three Musketeers" and "Monte Cristo." was one of the most remarka ble filchers in literature. In one single year his name was attached to no few er than forty different books. Not only did he steal unblushingly from every. author who came handy, but he em ployed numerous literary ghosts and passed off'their work as his own. Brought to book, he had a ready re ply. "The man of genius does not steal." he said; "he only conquers." 1 Alexander Pope. who made thou sands of pounds by his poetic transla tion of Homer's "Iliad.' was an indif ferent Greek scholar. In addition to stealing from previous translators, he employed others to help and then claimed the whole work as his own. When he translated "The Odyssey" he kept the public in ignorance that only twelve books could be called his and that the rest were the work of men whom he paid badly. The arguments in Pope's "Essay on Man" were furnished by Lord Boling broke, and his "Essay on Criticism" was a poetic version of the conversa tion of his intimates. Richard- Brinsley Sheridan, wit, dramatist and politician, stole his fa mous characters Charles Surface and Joseph Surface in "The School For Scandal" from Tom Jones and BlifilI in Fielding's well known novel, and he abducted Tabitha Bramble and Sir Hubert Mackilligut and transformed them into those still more entertaining characters Mrs. Malaprop and Sir Lu cius O'Trigger in "The Rivals." Of modern authors who stole and are stealing still the present writer does not say a word. Only history can af ford to be free spoken.-Exchange. Word Painting. IMrs. Bradley, when questioned by a, fellow traveler in the Pullman car in regard to her home, launched forth into a rather long and detailed description of its charms. Her little girl, Grace, who had been reading when she began to speak, soon closed her book and lis tened with great interest "It must be very pleasant," remark ed the chance acquaintance, somewhat perfunctorily, when Mrs. Bradley fin ished, and Grace, her eyes gleaming with enthusiasm, said: "Oh, it must be perfectly lovely! What place Is it, mamma?" "Why, our own home, of course," answered the mother, somewhat embar rassed. "Oh, dear," said Grace, sihing, "how. much better it sounds than it looks!" Youth's Companion. Need and Needs. Perhaps many persons have wonder ed why we are taught to say "He need not do that" instead of "He needs not do that" as the singular pronoun, he, requires under ordinary conditions the singular form of the verb. The reason sthtin a sentence of that kind. a~ negative sentence, expressing require-I mnent or obligation. "need" becomes an auxiliary and takes no change of termi nation in the third- person singular. This exception is laid down In the grammars.-Chicago News. The Iron Crown. The iron crown of Lombardy, so called from the narrow iron band with In it supposed to have been beaten out of one of the nails used at the cruci fixIon. was probably first worn by Agiluph at his coronation In 591.

Extravagance. "This is your little sister, -Tommy;" said the father, showing him-the baby. "You will love her dearly, will yon not?" "Yes, of course," replie& Tommy, in specting the latest arrival.

The Way Dr. Johnson Outwitted the Fc House of Commons. Parliamentary bodies were long a great stronghold of resistance to the po press. Reporters were strictly barred m. from them, and reports of their pro- Ai ceedings were sternly punished. It ci was among the triumphs for the right tri and for common sense which Franklin ca achieved that he caused the chamber ju: of the provincial assembly of Pennsyl- Al vania to be thrown open to publicity. pi: Nevertheless no reports were allowed to of either the Continental congress or St. the constitutional convention. st: Dr. Johnson's violation of the cher- ot: ished privacy of the British house of th commons is a classic story. He report- ve ed its debates without entering its sa cred precincts, and in order to escape th the severe penalties of the law he re- ve ported them without mentioning the tr: body or any of its members by name. ve Setting up an imaginary "senate of th Lilliput" and giving fictitious names to TI the leading members of parliament be lei edified for years the. readers of the wj journal which then boasted the "lar- m; gest circulation" in England. se: Receiving a few scanty notes of what m: was going on at Westminster, he elab- te: orated them into a brilliant spread. He 1n: was, indeed, the illustrious founder of W the immortal craft of rewriters. His fo discerning readers came to know not th only that the senate of Lilliput was the it house of commons, but that "B:.efscu" lei stood for France and "Mildendo" for ell London; that "sprugs" meant pounds. th that "Nardac" was the Duke of New- ag castle, and so on. What his notes lack ed his imagination readily supplied. wj Never was the eloquence of parlia- de ment more brilliant than In Johnson's ha reports of the debates, in which, he ad- or mitted, he took care that the Whig at logs got the worst of it, although Pitt w himself must have felt mollified when th [e read the wonderful outburst attrib uted to him by Johnson on "the atro- tie dous crime of being a young man."
