indigestion No Appetite, General Weakness. If your food is only partly digested then the body is only partly nourished. The blood rapidly becomes thin and filled with impurities, the nerves are easily exhausted, there is headache, restlessness, and the whole system is greatly debilitated. Mr. A. Chauffourier, ai Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, sends us his photo graph and the following testimonial:



11 While reporting for the local and metro* ooliUn press in Riverina, I contracted a severe chill which developed into a general weakness of my digestive organs. A snort course of AVER'S Sarsaparffli en&Wed me to continue my work all right. My appetite improved, my taste for food came backhand my general health was greatly im proved in everyway." , When taking the Sarsapanlla, it is best to use Ayer's Pills also. Take just enough each night to produce one good free movement of the bowels daily. Pnpand by Dr. J. C. Ayir ft Co., Lowell, Mus., U.S.A.

Saved by a Boy. A lusty young man with a fur cap drawn down over his ears and a pair of bright red mittens on his hands stopped a boy at the corner of Grand River avenue and Gris wold street the other afternoon to ask the way to the city hall. The lad waited a minute to size him up and then replied: "Gimme a quarter, and I'll put you through as slick as grease." "Put me through?" "Yes. I know what you want. You want to go to the county clerk's office fur a mar riage license." | "S'pose I doP" "Well, you'll have to ask three or four times before you find it, and by the time you git in there the hull crowd will be onto you bigger' n a house.'' "I don't kere." "No, mebbe you don't care if 50 different fellers laugh and giggle and wink around, but when the reporters come out with their articles about a knee sprung hayseed lolly poppin around fur half a day to git a license to marry Jerusha Josh, who wears No. 10 shoes and spits on her hands to chop, it won't be so mighty funny." "Will they do that?" asked the young man in alarm. "They'll do that and wuss if you give'em a chance. Fur a quarter I walk on ahead, and you foller. I steer you into the city hall. I skip you into the county clerk's of fice. While you are gittin a license I stand the reporters off, and they don't even git onto that catskin cap. It's wuth a dollar, and that's my reg'lar charge, but bein it's you, and bein" "I'll do it—here's your quarter—lead on," interrupted the "candidate," and as noth ing about a "hayseed" and a "Jerusha" has j appeared in the papers it is likely that^he boy worked the racket without a skip.- '.'■



Bight la His Line. The police court reporter, who had been called upon in the absence of the regular society reporter to go to a wedding and de scribe it to the best of his ability, had just returned and was struggling with his notes pertaining to the bride's toilet. "She was attired," he wrote, "in a dress that had a business running in a gorgeous loop down in front, then up around the waist, over the shoulders, and had big wrin kled sleeves made of cloth that looked as if it had been gouged out of some rich matei'i al of a bright cream color, dappled with iron gray." "Is that the way you are going to do it up?" inquired the sporting editor, looking over his shoulders at the manuscript. "Why not?" fiercely retorted the police court reporter. "I'm doing this on space rates!''* ••'*".',' ;',;'.tl~~"_.
