"For ten years or more I suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble,
caused by the use of colfee (Tea contains

In coffee), until I pot so bad I had to
give up coffee entirely and almost give
up eating. There were times when I
? could eat only boiled milk and bread:
and when I went to the field to work
I had to take some bread and butter
along to give me strength.
"I doctored steady and took almost
everything I could get for my stomach
in the way of medicine, but if I got
any better it only lasted a little while
I was almost a walking skeleton.

The
Pirates' |
Cave- *' J!
By Q&ra Inez Deacon
(Copyright. 1912, by Associated TJterary
Press.)
It was thoroughly understood when
MIbs Nettle Shields, eleven years of
age, was permitted to accompany her
sister Fanny, of twenty, down to
Eagle's nest for a few weeks' stay
with their aunt, that the young miss
muBt behave herself.
Not that M)ss Nettle Shields had
j ever been arrested for her conduct.
I but that she was heedless ^nd overconfident
and almost satisfied the.* she
knew it all. If she went out for "
walk by herself she would follow a
hand organ or a flre engine until she
got lost, and If she started for the
park to feed the squirrels she might
bring up at the Battery to feed the

to amend her ways and be no cause
of anxiety to anyone, and she stuck
to that promise for all of half an hour
after arriving at the manor house.
Then she met the coachman's son, a
lud of twelve.
The city lass was looking at the
country lad with her nose in the air
and a pitying expression on her face
when he walked up to her and said:
"You arq not so muchy-mueh!"
"I am a hundred times more muchy
much than you!"
"Oh, you think so! Did you ever
see a pirate's cave?"
"N?no."
"Well, I have. You may have lots
of things in the city, but you haven't
got a pirate's cave."
"Where is it?"
' That's telling."
"Young man, I want to know at
once, and you point out that cave or
there'll be trouble!"
"Hu! No kid can bluff me! That
cave is full of gold and silver and
sparkling Jewels. I've seen 'ern. I
can go there any time and get a bushel.
There are also pirate skulls and
bones there. There is one diamond

"You Are Not 80 Muchy-Much!"
an big as my fist. When I heard you
was coming down here 1 thought of
taking you over to the cave and letting
you pick out a few pearls and
rubles for yourself, but now I won't.
You are too snippy."
"Then you needn't!"
It was three days later that Miss
Nettle got down on her knees to that
bad boy and vowed to marry him
when they grew up If he would take
her to that cave. As a matter of fact,
he had been told by a boy, who had
It from another boy, that there was
such a cave In the hills three miles
nway. He had lied about the rest of
It, but he didn't propose to own up.
He wnnted to be a hero instead of an
Uncle Rube, In Miss Nettle's eyes. He
soon discovered that he couldn't be
without setting out for the cave, and It
took him a whole day to make up his
mind. They must set out secretly,
and If there was no cave a licking
! awaited him for sure on their return,
and It mlgnt do oreaa ana wuier iui u
week for the girl.
It was not until Miss Nettle had applled
the epithet of coward several
times that a start was made. The
family dog was old and shackelty and
didn't core a cent about pirates' caves,
but after much coaxing he consented
to go along. The wny was across the
fields and through the scrub to a
range of hills, and the afternoon was
hot and the journey toilsome. The |
dog gave out first. When his aged
Joints began to creak he knew that he
had bad enough, and he headed back.
"I don't think I'd want to 6ee pirate
bones unless the dog was along," observed
the boy.
"But 1 would." was the reply from
; the pnntlng but not discouraged girl. ;
"I took the dog so that he could
; smell out the cave for us."
"But we'll smell It out for ourselves.
We are going right on."
"I don't believe there is any cave."
"Oh, yes, there is. I think 1 have
! read about It somewhere. If you are
' a booby you can trot back home."
Forty rods further on the boy
dropped behind a bush for two or
i three minutes and then legged it for
WOULD TEACb
One Man Bold Enough to Say That
Americans Have Much to Learn
in Thl* R^SDCCt.
"By a little thinking a family of five
can save $120 a year In the cost of living
and vet hsve all that they wart to
eat, for It Is not the quantity, but the
proper combination and the proper
mastication that the body needs," says
1 W. Earl Flyrn, commonly known as
Daddy Flynn, who Is lecturing In this
city on health. Me Is an advocate of
the no-breakfast plan and he says that
the number of meals that are eaten Is
I largely a habit.
"If you eat no breakfast, rut down
the meat and in general regulate the
intake according to the expenditure,
you will be surprised with ihe result.
Most people eat just as much when
the old machine is not working as
when It Is doing1 the hardest kind of
work. A person should not eat just
to satisfy his craving for food Me
hould pot intelligently, having an obect
in view, as theie are foods for
home. He waVt going to give a
pirate's ghost a chance to take him by
the threat. MIsb Nettle missed hfm.
but did not even call on him to return.
She had act out for a cave filled
with money and Jewels, and she
meant to reach it.
The hills, were reached, at last, by
a very tired girl. They were covered
with pine and spruce and bowlders,
but after a r^st she started her climb
an# b?gdn Iboking for the mouth of a
cave.
The limbs and briars soon made tatters
of her dress, but If she thought of
the financial damage she realized also
that one single ruby of the bushels
in the cave would buy her many new
suits. No cave! No sign of a cave!
A blue-Jay now and then, and a chipmunk
now and then, and after an
hour the girl realized that she was
lost and had come on a fool's errand.
The thing to do was to eit down on
a rock and have a good cry to try to
figure out how many days it would
take for a healthy young girl to starve
to death. Misa Nettie didn't do the
proper thing, however. She Bat down,
but before the rest of it could follow
a hunting dog burst through a tangle
and discovered her and began to bnrk
He had kept it up for two minutes
when a man not far away shouted:
"Go for him, Nero! Hold him till
1 v "me!"
Ne. -> redoubled his noise, and pretty
soon a . tung man slid down the bank
with a cr. *h and came to a halt to exclaim
:
"Well, by Tcorge!"
"What klr. of a man are you to
sic your dog <n a lost young lady!"
was demanded "is the girl rose up.
"Why?why, thought it was a?a
wooacnuca:
"But it wnBn' you feel"
His cap carat off and he gave his
name as Robert cnham. Miss Nettie
could do no lest than give her identity
and explain now she came to be
a Babe In the Woods. She laughed
as she talked, and the young man
laughed as he listened. He explained
that he was also from the city and
visiting relatives, and was out on the
hills that afternoon for the sake of
the tramp.
"Your name Is Robert, but I shall
call you Bob," snld the little girl. "You
can call mo Net or Nettle. Of course
you will see me home?"
"Oh, certainly."
"I want to pet at that boy and roll
him In the dust."
"Do you know that you are about gIx
miles from the Eagle's Nest?" he
asked.
"Mercy on me!"
"It's a mile or more to the house
where I am stopping. We will go
first and get a bite to eat, and then I
will take you home in my auto."
The coachman's boy had returned to
hide out, and although Miss Nettie
was missed and Inquired for he gave
no information until dark. Then there
was a rumpus. A searching party
started out with lanterns, and the
women left at home were crying, and
it had got to be nine o'clock when the
lost girl was driven up by the finder.
In the interval Mr. Bonham was
posted on the Shields family, particularly
as to Fanny. Miss Fanny had
never been in love; she had a sweet
disposition; her aunt was going to
leave her jzu.uuu; ene wuum nmnw
6ome one an awfully good wife, and a
great deal more
The cave-searcher knew that she
had broken her word, and she was
conscience-stricken over It. She must
do the square thing to pay for the !
anxiety and trouble she had caused.
She did it like a little brick. As soon
as released from her sister's arms she
introduced Mr. Bob Bonham, and with
a lump in her throat added:
"Fanny. I was Intending to marry
him, for he is all that a trusting girl
could ask for. but being I ran away?
and got lost?and tore my clothes?
and broke my promise?and am going
to have a scrap with that boy. why,
take him and love him and marry
him!"
ThiB speech was embarrassing
enough, but had no fatal effects. It
was Just a year ago, and Mr. 3ob Bonham
has mode such good use of the
time that he can now say ho is engaged
to Miss Fanny Shields.
Court to Thousands.
In New York, for example, upward
of two hundred thousand persons
were arraigned before the police magistrates
in 1910, and another one hundred
thousand probably were brought
into their courts by summons.
Over this huge army of people, many
of whom are entirely Innocent of any
offense, the magistrates exert an almost
undisputed sway; for their decisions
are. in nine cases out of ten, absolutely
final. In ether words, they
pass Judgment upon the personal 11bi
erty and rights of mere than twentyfive
citizens every month of the year,

decisions are accepted without appeal

In the land administers Justice
on so vast a scale, or exerts anything
even approaching so unbridled a power.
It Is at once a court of first and

THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT
When a child sulks drowsily, or Is
fretful. It Is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very if ten all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
in cases where the use of a gentle,
effective laxative stimulant is indicated,
many of the best physicians r.re
now prescribing Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admittedly
the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathartics
and purgative waters. It is very
pleasant to the taste and Is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. I s easy,
natural action makes it especially desirable
in the case of children, a dose
at bed-time being sure to have the desired
resif.t next morning, with no attendant
unpleasantness or discomfort.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is sold
by druggists everywhere in 50c and
$1.00 bottles. If you bare never tried
this splendid remedy, wri.e to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St.. Monticello,

very glad to send a trial bottle wiU*

however, who fully appreciated his
real worth, a woman of the street who
had doubtless seen him enter or else :
observed him at meat through the
open doorway. Knowing blm Is one
thing, but to love him Is quite an
other. Do not coniouna mis wumau
with Mary Magdalene, there Is no connection
at all. Jesus always drew to
himself the sinful ones; It was for
that purpose he came into the world,
'.o bear our sins (Matt. 1:21; Isa
53:6). This woman was, however, a
sinner who no longer ran after her
sin, but one who was repentant. This
Is shown by (1) her sorrow (weeping);
(2) her humble service (wiping
his feet), and (3) her gift of love (the
alabaster box), this latter having undoubtedly
been an accessory of her
life of sin, but now devoted to a more
noble use. As the odor filled the
house the self-satisfied Pharisee spake
"within himself," but he who dlscerneth
the thoughts and Intents of the
heart knew not only how great a sinner
she had been, but knew also tho
cloak of self-rlghteousnes worn by
Simon. Her purity and holiness had 1
been shattered like the alabaster box
and Jesus proceeds to shatter Simon's
shpll of self complacency by putting
forth one of his matchless parables.
Jesus Speaks to Simon.
A certain creditor, undoubtedly
meaning himself, had two debtors, by
Inference this woman and this Pharisee.
froth alike were bankrupt, ono
owed about $8.50 and the other ten
times as much, about $85. Both
alike, however, received forgiveness.
"Tell me," says the Master, "which
debtor will love most?" The Pharl- j
see's reply was the logical one; they
both depend upon the mercy of the
creditor, hence tho gratitude will be
In ratio to the amount forgiven. Much
had been required, hence much forgiven.
Jesus Immediately turns the
Pharisee's answer to a practical appll- j
cation. Taking the words out of !
Simon's mouth he makes one of the
most complete and practical applications
of applied Christianity In the
gospel record. To paraphrase Jesus
says: "Simon. I came Into your house
and the most common courtesy of
washing a guest's feet you neglected,
yet this woman has washed my feet
with her tears, an evidence of her repentance.
while you sit there with dryeyed
cynicism. She has wiped my
feet with the hairs of her head, her
glory and crown has heen laid at my
feet while you have not so much as
offered me a towel to wipe the dust
off rny feet ns I left my sandals at
your door. Simon you gave me no
kiss, that common mark of a courteous
welcome, yet this woman has not
ceased to kiss my feet Blnce the time
I came Into your house. The annolntlng
oil, common olive oil, you neglected
to ubo, yet the precious oil of her
treasure she has thankfully poured
upon my feet. Simon, your life is a
life of works so are these acts of this
woman, but your life Is one of zeal
while her acts have been prompted
by love."
In another place Jesus tells us that
If we love him we will do the things
he commands us and that he and the
Father will come and abide with vs.
Hers was the heroic love of one who
having lost her shame dared to thrust
herself Into an unbidden -house of refreshment
and perform those neglect1
ed menial duties, the result of which
wns that reward for her faith that
meant forgiveness of her sins. Ry
her attention to these duties she was
unconsciously rebuking the vanity of
. Rimon's self merit while at the same
time she was showing to the world a
fine example of the gratitude of a
saved one. Paul later expressed It
most forcefully In the fourth chapter
.of bis letter to the Romans. The man
who works has not a reward of grace,
bu: of debt, but he that belleveth is
Justified, his faith being counted for
righteousness.
The Great Creditor.
This woman knew she had no merit
of her own and hence she threw herself
at the feet of Jesus, claimed his
righteousness and compassion and at
the same time by her acts she showed
the attitude of her heart and of course
j she had the desire of her heart. It
has always been so for has not the
Master said, "Happy are they who
hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they shall be fed?"
After this "practical sermon of applied
Christianity" to Simon, Jesus
turns to the woman, nameless so far
is the Scripture record Is concerned,
and with Infinite and a heavenly thrill
in his voice he said: "Thy faith hath
saved thee, go in pea^e." "Who Is the
:reator," they asked.
Jesus teaches us that though there
ie degrees of guilt, all alike must
-nme to God for forgiveness. Also
that he, the Great Creator, is the one
:o whom we owe our debt of sins and
who alone can without merit dlslarge
that debt and send us forth In
eace.
To Be a Blessing.
We remain on earth as sowers to
icatter good seeds, as plowmen to
treak up the fallow ground, as herilds
publishing salvation. We are here
is the "salt of the earth," to be a
alessing to the world. We are here
;o glorify Christ In our dally life. We
ire here as workers for him, and as
"workers together with him."
God's Gift.
I used to think that God's gifts were
an shelves one above the other,
and that the taller we grow In Christian
character the easier we should
reach them. I find now that God's
ariftB are on shelves one beneath the
other, and that It is not a question
of growing taller, but of stooping lower,
and that we have to go down, always
down, to get his best gifts.?

THEIR MOST JOYOUS MOMENT
Of the Trio, Prcbably Representative
Redfield Had the Eest Occasion
to Smile.
The talk In one of the cloak rooms
of congress turned to the thought of j
the happiest moments In one's life.
Senator Ralley said his came the day
he wore his first pair of trousers. And
Paul Howland of Ohio declared his
big moment of joy was when he was
permitted once to drive a chariot In
a pony and dog show parade.
Representative Redfield, who Is a
wise chap, even If he does hall from
Brooklyn, said It was when he was
going to school and trying to master
long division. Three or four aisles
over from where he sat a boy yawned.
It was not an ordinary yawn, but one
of such genuine expression of feeling
toward things In general that It attracted
Redfleld's attention. He w-as
fortunate In having a paper wad right
at hand, ready for any emergency,
and he aimed this at the boy's cavernous
mouth. The wad went right
square Into the goal and?well, Fourth
of July fireworks are tame to the
stunts 'that boy did In the next fewminutes.
He says he almost smiled once on
shipboard when the vessel gave a
lurch and threw a platter full of
beefstead. gracy and all, over the
open-faced shirt front of a pompous
passenger across the table.
ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY
"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began ns pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
Itched.
"We consulted two doctors at Chicago,
where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean eb
any little baby's face. Every one who
snw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. Wo can
only recommend the Cuticura Remedies
to everybody." (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb.,
Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed
free on application to "Cuticura,"

Hooper, Nebraska.? "I am very glad
to tell how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has helped me. For five years
I suffered from female troubles so I was
scarcely able to do my work. I took doctors'
medicines and used local treatments
but was not helped. I had such awful
bearing down pains and my back was so
weak I could hardly walk and could not
ride. I often had to sit up nights to sleep
and my friends thought I could not live *
long. At my request my husband got
me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and I commenced to
take it By the time I had taken the
seventh bottle my health had returned
and I began doing my washing and was a
well woman. Atone time for three weeks
I did all the work for eighteen boarders
with no signs of my old trouble returning.
Many have taken your medicine
after seeing what it did for me. I would
not take $1000 and be where I was. You
have my permission to use my name if
it will aid anyone. "?Mrs. susie Templeton,
