AHE you ruu down? Vo you feel
dopy? Does the dark brown
taste ndnere to the roof of your
mouth? Do you rage and Imag
ine vain things? Well If eo you are
not a heathen. You are simply on
cverclvilizt'd ierson. The trouble with
you Is that you have boon pursuing too
closely the golden calf, which can run
faster thau a bay steer, or you have
been working too hard for a living.
You have U'en dissipating. Perhaps
the dissipation consists of too much
work ami the consequent worry. Per
haps tt consists of cocktails, cigarettes
or even champagne. Perhaps you are
What teetotalers call 'temperate," but
you have been eating too heartily or
partaking of food that Is altogether too
rich for your blood. No matter. Wheth
er you have brain fag, mental stagna
tion, intellectual torpidity, nervous
prostration or Just a dammed liver
dammed up by a clogged system that
cries for exercise and relief there Is
one thing that you must haw done to
you lirfore you get over the trouble.
You must be muldooned.
Muldoonlng Is the latest cure, even
later than Christian Science. It Is
many centuries luter than medicine.
Perhaps it wasn't needed when men
lived the simple life. liefore the days of

eubways nnd trolley cars and whiz
wagons and stock tickers and dally
papers and the tending of noisy ma
chines lu noisome factories. Hut In
these overcivllized days a severe course
In mulJiMiiilug becomes necessary now
and then for many men.
And what Is muldoonlng?
Well, that reminds me. An old fann
er in Arkansas once remarked to a
youn.su r:
"Yo-.::ig feller, to be well an" stout
an' i .cart yon must cat reg'lar. sleep

Luxury All Can Have.
Elihtl Hoot just now is being uiul
dooneu. Mr. Hoot is the Amerlcuu pre
nicr, the secretary of state, with only
two men i:i offlelal rank between hlin
and the presidency of the United j
States. He believes la muldoonlng, !
and that should be a gool recom- !
mendatlon for the system. Yu need I
not go to vrilllam MuiJuon's place, as I
Secretary Itoot has done, to be mul-
doone.l. You can muldoon yourself i
.wherever you are. Mr. Muldoon has
room for only a few men at a time,
and It costs much money .to bo mul
dooned by Muldoon, the original mul
dooner. Consequently only the rich
can afford to muldoon at Muldoou's.
But this luxury is yours for the taking
at your own borne, for Mr. Muldoon
hasn't patented his system.
Muldoon'o place Is a farm about two
miles from White Plains, N. Y. There
Is a commodious house, with shower .
baths and a gymnasium. There are
broad acres for walking over and long
roads far riding along, and there are
. . . . . . i i i
gardens to hoe and bay to rake and
fork. Muldoon is called "Professor,"
nnd lie deserves the title. Nearly twen
ty years ago he began his career as n
professor of regularity and a practical
preacher of all round temperance. He
lias no divinity degrees and probably
no scholastic degrees, but he Is one of
the most successful doctors and preach
ers In tills country or any other.
t'p to about 1VJ William Muldoon
was the champion Greco-Itonian wres
tler of the world. He could throw
any man on earth time and ugaln.
lie went up against the champion
of land after land and put him
to the mat. He held the championship
s many years that he got ashamed
of his selfishness and voluntarily re
linquished It so that the other fellows
might have a chance. Then Muldoon
entered upon his long career of mul
doonlng. The Boston Bruiser.
One of the first conspicuous porsou
ages to be muldooned was John L.
Sullivan. Muldoon took the Roston
bruiser in hand to put him In shape
for the tight with Jake Kllraiu. (Sul
livan, as everybody knows, was dissi
pated. When he went to Muldoou's
he was unruly at first. Hut the pro
fessor gave him to understand that he
must obey the rules absolutely or be
chucked out, which would mean bis
probable ilefeat at the hands, of Kil
raln and the desertion of the friends
who were trying to keep him In the
championship. John L. trained under
Mnliloou cud found Kilraln easy.
Ileiruiurlty -did It.
Kid McCoy and other pugilists were
; ut In l:are by Muldoon to their nd
va::!::g' P.ut prize lighters have
f rit.e.l only a small percentage of
Muldoou's list of patients. Rich New

There : '.' two things which Profess
or MrVot :i hates as a chicken hates
a !':.'.ih'Si::!;o. Whisky is 0110 end
ilr.ire tt'S the other. No whisky gets
pat l.U threshold, and a cigarette
au' t come within smel'irig distance.
Muldoon vas wulhkig on Eighth ave
nue, l.i Ne-v York, cue day when four
Loys, all siueliing cigarettes, passed by.
''Loo!; r.t thase boys." lie riiuiarked
to n friend. "That Is an evil that
ought to be suppressed. Cigarettes
are the bane of a boy's life. Give nie
a lad who knows nothing of them or
the tarte of beer and liquor, and I'll
give you the making of a big, strong
and healthy man. I take a great In
terest In little chaps and do everything
I can to encourage their ideas of sport.
I would like to teach them ell to stay
rnray from vice and to learn to box,
T.-restle, rrn and Jump."
On r.noth'ri occasion a young man
cmoklng n cigarette approached Mul
doon to get data for n I'fe of John L.
"If you'll stop sucking that thing
aud throw it nway. I'll talk to you,"
ald the p of:"-o-
That was some years ago, and Mr.
Muldoon v.t.s described an "a hand
lorro bine eyed man, wIMi cheeks as
pretty as the speckled sides of Jane
tpples, his shoulders looking as solid
as bis limbs, so lithe and active." Now
the professor is past sixty, perhaps a
little older than his present distin
guished patient, Secretary Root, who
Is sixty-two and a half. Yet Muldoon
Kill looks as pretty as the bloomy side
of an Elberta peach, and he can punch
the bag, box, wrestle, ride, walk or
work to the limit of endurance for any
one of his patients, even the youngest
and strongest of them.
Genesis of Muldoonlng.
In bis early manhood Muldoon was ft
cavalry officer. He served during the
civil war nnd In the regular army aft
er the war. It is said that he con
ceived bis theory of building up run
down humanity In the service on the
plains, when gangs of recruits were
sent to him to be made into troopers.
Many of the men who enlisted in those
days Just after the war were sorry
specimens of humanity. Most of the
good ablebodled fellows had had too
much of war. It was difficult to get
recruits. But when a man was starv
ing he was willing to enlist, and Mul
doon got many of that sort. He put
them through a regulnr course of train
ing In eating, sleeping and working.
They made uew soldiers. That gave
Muldoon Ills ilea, which he put Into
practice a quarter of a century later.
It was the genesis of inuldoonlug.
Those who go to Muldoou's place go
to him who must be obeyed. The pro
fessor Is the commanding officer. He
looks over the niau und tells him pre
cisely what to eat, how much and
when. He proscribes Just so many
hours' sleep, usually about nine. The
recruit must get up when the com
mander kuorks on his door, about 0
o'clock. When Muldoon says work he
lutu.t work, whether It be some form
of piny exercise or real labor in the
fields. If a man needs something in
his diet to ma hlui sleep better, Mul
doon (Veils him lettuce, but more often
he feeds him work.
Once a man went to Muldoon's who
was troubled with sleeplessness. At
"taps." li oc liiek. every light is sup
posed to be piit out. The professor no
ticed (oiiie lime later a light in this
in:.:.'.- ;'..:. . reading.
"AM rig'it. i. i.v ni'iti." muttered the
prof.- or.
Ir vr t' r.l : It vn nil wrong.
That vr in !y the Muldoon way of
keep I n -r to Id;. i! elf what he ln'.eni'.ed
doing n.-y.i day to the derelict one.
He sin. ply put on the patient a con
siderable amount of extra work, y
ing nothing us t.i having caught him
Willi l:i: li;.ht burning after taps. That
night Mr. Patient excused himself
shortly after supper and retired. He
slept soundly until the professor rap
ped on his door next morning at 6.
Medicine Ball Drill.
Mr. Muldoon has Invented one form
of exerctse which looks amusing to
the outsider, but It Is said to be the
most efficacious of all. It is the medi
cine ball drill. The professor conceiv
ed the Idea of making some balls rang
ing from six to thirty inches In diam
eter. The men t the farm divide Into
sides every morning and proceed to
pass the medicine halls. No man
knows ot any moment the size or
weight of the ball he Is going to get
tossed at him. It may be a little fel
low or the biggest In the 6erles. This
keeps him mentally alert as well as
physically.
Any system that trains the body and
neglects the mind, according to Mul
doou. Is false to the first principles of
physical culture. The ability to sec,
think and act ut one and the same
time the secret of sue s l.i ath
letics as well us i:i life, says this mas
ter muldoouer of men.
When Secretary Koot wcut to Mul
doou's some weeks ago he was in a
condition which gave his friends much
alarm. He had been working too hard.
The secretaryship of state 1 no sine
cure. Mr. Hoot was run down. For
some time he had been thinking of go
lug to Muldoou's, nnd his friends ad
vised him to do so.
"Mr. Hoot feels like a new man al
ready," said the professor a few days
ago, :wid the secretary of state was
seeu to leap Into the Muldoon wagon
nt the postofDce without touching tuo
step, which went to prove that he was
physically active.
The professor will not let Secretary
Hoot work at ofliclal business more
than two hwrs u day, nnd some days
he is sai.l t j limit the premier to half
au h.'Ur, actordl.is to his condition.
Ilor.-e'iack riding is prescribed
daily, whiter or summer, rain or shine,
and a dril.' v.aik of four miles or so
is iu the i-i.rrU iiltuu of this school for
regularity. The Muldoon guests, from
statesman down, are simply pupils un
der the professor, who is quite a pug
nacious man, by the way. and will
brook no interference with his author
it;.'. If a seffet. ry of state or nny
liouy else dei lines to obey the rules,
what happens? Well, the head master
is not a.:th"ii::ed to g.) to the woods, i
cut n birch switch and apply It. But
he shows the farm gate to the obstrep
erous cne.
Every Sunday morning the guests j
are weighed. The professor also stops
ou the scales, for he wants to see i
whether he is keeping himself lu con-'
dltion. Any man who has gained flesh
when ho should have lost It, or vice
versa, gets a change of treatment the j
following week. The change Is large
ly in the matter of exercise or work,
whether If he boding, medicine balling, 1
rldin-r or hoeing potatoes.
It l:...v be that the personality of i
Trofesor Muldoou counts for-much j
In the muldooulug of men. He exacts '
syr.teimulc oledleuee or he will have !
no:h!nif to do with a nun. Cut o '
course iu amateur muldoonlng is open
to anybody, rnywhere. nt my time. If j
all of ua were muldooned now and
' thoa. It vi old mean money Jn our
rockets. I

(Suggested by the death of Rev. W. A.
Bunch.)
Another one's departed
Gone to the other shore;
One by one we're gathering,
To live forever more.
Upon the fields of glory,
Robed all in spotless white,
Where comes oo foul miasma,
No trace of cheerless night.
Our ranks are growing thinner,
As one by one departs,
And leaves us growing Bidder.
And weary in our hearts.
Hut on the fields elysian,
B yond our mortal view,
The ranks are daily growing,
Filled with the tried and true.
At times the veil seems lifted,
That we can faintly see
The gath'ring friends in glory,
Beyond the mystic sea.
A rendezvous immortal,
Of men who've stood the test,
Who've passed their graduation
Ami entered into rest.
An undefined something
lliings 'tween the "Here" and ''There,"
That faintly hides the splendor
j That some are Mxm to wear,
I nli! who will lie the next one
To don l lie loU' of lire,
To gather ith the trophies,
j To Mich the flowing lyre?
I To "jaihf r to his fathers,"
j And aii U,e saint of old,
. I'jioii the li"hN "f glory,
i l'p" the Mrt-i'ts o old?
