Indigestion causes heartburn, sour stomach, nervousness, nausea, impure blood, and more trouble than many different kinds of diseases. The food you eat ferments in your stomach, and the poisons it forms are ab sorbed into your whole system, causing many dis tressingsymptoms. At the first sign of indigestion, try '2 Thedfrd's Black-m'rugh1 the old, reliable, vegetable liver powder, to quickly E cleanse your system from these undesirable poisons. Mrs. Riley Laramore, of Goodwater, Mo., says: "I suffered for years from dyspep sia and heartburn.

Some time .:au in Ediuburgh a po liceman caught a female thief in the act of stealiig a banknote.

Tennyson regarded as "almost the grandest line in the English language" Wordsworth's whose dwemling Is the tight of setting suns. Among "the most liquid lines of any language" he set Gray's And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds. From Shakespeare this was one of his favorites for its Aeschylean quali ties: The burning crest Of the old, feeble and day wearied sun. "Hamlet" he regarded as "the great est creation in literature." Poe was his choice of the American poets. "I know several striking poems by Amer ican poets." he once said. Was there ever fainter praise? Seven of his own best songs he thought were "All Along the V'alley." "Courage. Poor Heart of $tone." "fCreak,. Break, Break." "The Bugle Song." "Ask Me No More," "T ears, idle Tears" and "Crossing the Bar."-IKansas City Times. The Best Court of Appeal. No one could so-y a sharp or bitter thing with more absolute' coolness than Lord Westbury, who was made lord chancellor of England in 1801. After retiring from the office of lord chancellor he took a very active part in the house of lords, sitting as a court of appeals, where his colleagues were Lord Chelmsford and Lord Colonsay. Lord St. Leonards, who was senior to them all, never attended. One day Lord Westbury chanced to meet him and said. "My dear St. Leonards, why don't you come and give us your val ua ble assistance in the house of lords?" "Ah," said Lord St. Leonards, "I should be of no use. I am old and blind and stupid." "My dear lord." said Westbury, "that does not signify In the least. I am oid.

The strongest king on record. so the story goes. appears to have been Caius Julius Verus Maximus, the son of a Thracian peasant and emperor of Rome. It is related that with one of his fingers he stopped a chariot dash ing by at full speed, that he could draw a loaded wagon and split trees with his band. This redoubtable sov ereign was eight feet high, and his wife's bracelets served him for finger rings. We have passed over Og. the king of Bashan, who was nearly six miles high, drank water from the clouds and toasted fish by holding them up to the sun and who, when Noah refused him shelter in the ark, survived those troublous times by wad ir-g through the flood, which only reached to his knees, and of Atlas, king of Mauritania, who is said to havze supported the world upon his shoulders.-Exchange. Ocean Musicians. Apart from the ordinary risks of sea travel, one of the most comfortable po sitions on a big ocean liner is that of a member of the o-chestra. True, the bay is not high, but it is considerably increased in various ways.

The play ers are booked as passengers on every trip and take their meals in the sa loon. On the first two days of a voy age they are not very popular, but on the third day, v hen seasickness ef fects are wearing off'. there is general ly a lot of appreciation for the band.
