A WAR TIME SANTA CLAUS. . A By Grace King. ‘This is the best Christmas story I At Mealtime, Makes Good Appetite, ‘have ever heard. I heard it from one Good Digestion, Good Cheer, Good :“: T34 .fin e piothe of a. 1itde girl of Heart and Stuart’s Dyspep- _“;10:?‘ in lo.w.r o;:u. .Lm.'rn.yh;: e e i oo Sotide of all lines, belligerent or otherwise. I had not heard from my soldier hus- ‘band for months, and I was suffering all the dreadful uncertainty that such a fact could inflict upon the heart of a woman at such a time. Christmas was coming on; what a bitter mock- ery, with its scintillating memories of past fun, merriment, and family jovi- alities! “‘Do you think, mamma, that Santa Claus can find his way t® the planta- tion? “1 wonder if he can get through the nes. ““They might shoot at him and kill bim. You don’t think they would shoot at him, mamma? “9q wish he would bring me a doll baby. “I do want a real doll baby, a real doll baby, so much.' “‘But you have that beautiful one I made you' (an ugly rag doll). “‘Yes, but,’ she spoke confidential- ly, and sank her voice in & whisper, g0 that the rag baby could mot hear her, ‘I want a doll I can feel,’ and she glanced sadly at the limp object on the bed at her side. “‘Well, you have Jimmie Johnnie,’ I reminded her. ‘You know you love him." y “‘Oh, yes!” and she clasped him tighter to her breast. ‘But,’ she stop- ped and patted him tenderly. I knew what she meant. Jimmie Johnnie, aft- or all, was only a stone bottle, whose one feature, so to speak, was his handle, and she could dress him only in a skirt tied around his neck. “She went on to tell me what she ‘would name it, and all the pretty plans she was making for the mew comer's future. “Was I to tell her on morning that Santa Claus ‘was shot coming through the lines? And her hopes and exrpectations, were they to be blighted? Was her little heart to be rendered dolless, as some women's }&ans ‘were rendered childless, by hard e? “I Yorgot the confederacy in my shifts to remedy at least this one mis- fortune of the war. “The plantation carpenter looked at me dubiously as I spoke to him about it. He was a preacher, as well as a maker of chairs and tables and cof- fins; he was afraid it was a graven image, and he shrank naively (not be- ing an artist) from the ‘nude’ of it un- til T showed him the picture of Eve in a Bible. He climbed up painfully and slowly through his scruples and many failures to the achievement of a wood- en doll with two stiff long legs and arms, socketed in the shoulders (a ver- itable triurnph ithis touch), and a round ball of a head with a nose stuck Do You Use Them ? If Not, Why ? Dyspepsia is the skeleton at the feast; the death’s head at the festive board. It turns cheer into cheerless- ness, galty into gloom and festivity in® farce. It is the ghost in the home, haulting every room and hitting at every fireplace. making otherwise mer- :‘y people shudder and fear. If there 3 one disease more than another that should be promptly attacked and worsted, it is DYSPEPSIA. It is the | very genius of unhappiness, unrest and 11l nsture. In time it will turn the best man almost into a demon of temper and make a good woman some- thing to be dreaded and avoided. It is estimated that half of one's troubles in this werld comes of a stomach gone wrong—of Dyspepsia, in short. Foods taken into the stomach and not properly eared for; converted into stubstances that the system*has no use for and hasn't any notion what to do with. It is irritated and vexed, prined and annoyed, and in a little while this state of things becomes general and directly there is “some- thing bad to pay.” The whole system is in a state of rebellion and yearns to do sometking rash and disagreeable and a fine case of Dyspepsia is estab- lished and opens up fer business. If you were bitten by a mad dog you would not lese a day in going to a ocwre; do you know you should be just as prompt with Dyspepsia? Rab- ies &s a quick death, dyspepsia is a slow one; this is about all the differ- ence. Thers is a cure for rabies and so there is for Dyspepsia and, one cure was about as difficuit to discover as the other. Pasteur found out one and the F. A. STUART COMPANY the other, and #t is no longer a secret, as it made public in the wonderful Ts?ht, which s0 many are using and praising today. One writer says of it: “Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are lit- tle storehouses of digestion which mix with the stomach juices, digest food, retiagle the mucous membrane and its nerve centers, give to the blood a great wealth of digestive fluids, pro- mote stion and stays by the stom. aeh all jts duties are complete.

The secretary to the treasury was asked to give a summarization of the figures showing the number of persons receiving such pensions in England, Scotland and Ire- land respectively, and the amount paid in each country. Mr. Hobhouse's fig- ures are startling. The estimated pop- ulation of England on July 1, 1909, was 35,756,615; the number of persons re- ceiving old age pensions on Sept. 30 was 421,432; and the amount paid since the act went into effect on Jan. 1, 1909, is 3,672,747 pounds. The cor: reeponding figures for Scotland are population 4,877.618: pensioners, 75,134 amount pald, 667,007 poun and for Ireland, population, 4,374,1 i ers, 186,202; amount paid, pounds. This in England amounts to a per capita tax of practically 2s. 6d on the entire population, while In Ireland it runs almost to 8s, for the first nine months, Wwhile the system is merely getting under way.

Washington, Dec. 14.—Taking up the president’s annual message, the house of representatives today went through the formality of referring it and di tributing it among the various com- mittees. Mr. Payne offered an amendment pro- viding that those para{rnphs relating to appropriations should be referred to what is designated as the “sleeping” committees on departmental expendi- tures, of which there is one for each department.

The idea caught on, and the crowing matches take place regu- larly once a week. The mode of operation is te place the cages containing the cocks in long rows, for it appears that one bird sets the others crowing. A marker, ap- pointed by the organizer of the match, Is told off for each bird, his duty be- ing to note carefully the number of crows for which it is responsible,” in the same fashion as the laps are re- eorded in a bicycle race. The customary duration of the match is one hour, the winner being the bird which scores the highest num- ber of crows in the allotted time. The entrance fee for each bird is half a crown, and very often as many as 60 many experiments have been made in the last few years, shows the presence of minute objects by converting them into luminous points against a dark background, just as the dancing or floating particles of dust in the air of a darkened room are ' made visible when we look across a ray of light en- tering the room. The new instrument i{s simply an or- dinary microscope looking through an oblique beam of bright light that trikes only the tiny specks that are to be-observed. The objects thus {llumi- nated stand out in the general obscuri- ty about them, and are distinguishable when less than one two-millionth of an inch in diameter, or fifty times smaller than can be studied by ordinary mic- TOSCopy.
