No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong man is strong all over. No man con be
strong who it suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach and its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
. strength. When a man " doesn't feel just right."
when he doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond
nt, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. ;v , - ,
Sac A a man should use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It care diseases of the stomach and other
. . organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood.
Invigorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes ,
the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH AND STRENGTH TO
THE WHOLE BODY. ..' 1 '

Escape Seattle, Wash., April 29. Details
of the eating by cannibals on Febru
ary 5 of Rev. Horaito Hopkins and
his assistant, Rev. Hector Laurie
McPherson, missionaries of the Pres
byterian Church on Savage island,
wre brought by the barkentine,
Mary E. Winkelnian, which arrived
today at Mulkeiteo, Wash., from the
Tonga islands in the South seas.
While the barkentine lay at Tan
gatabu, in the Tonga Lsiands,a canoe
toad ot mission native from Savage
islands arrivrd at Fua, bringing news
of the buchery.
The natives said that Hopkins and
McPherson were teaching in the mis
sion buildings standing on the beach
inlhe little harbor of Savage island
when two hundred unconverted sav
ages, howling war cries and brand
ishing clubs and spears, descended
on them and took thirteen prisoners.
The missionaries had twenty con
verts in training at the time and only
nine of them escaped.
Both missionaries were bound with
thongs and left lying on the beach in
the tropical sun tor several hours,
while the savages took the native
captives inland.
The cannibals then returned to the
beach and carried the missionaries on
a litttle to the crater at the extinct
volcano Van lue, in the center of the
island. There for two days and
nights, they held a corroboree. At
times their dancing and revelling
could be seen plainly by the fugitive
Christian natives.
While most of the canibala were
sleeping the captive natives escaped.
Their going was hastened by the
sight of two cf the cannibal chiefs
donning' the missionaries' clothes.

Many people have tried so many remedies

A noted cripple once said be classi
fied his friends by the degree In
which they reminded him of his de
formity or made him forget it. It la
interesting to note how different peo
ple enVcios by their thoughts about
us, their presence and influence. The
moment one comes into oar presence
he seems to touch the very springs
which let loose all that Is mean and
contemptible, defiant in us. lie
arouses our antagonism every time
be speaks. He chafes us, Irritates us,
arouses our opposition even against
our will.
lie belongs to a type of character
that does not harmonize with the best
that is in us. We have an Instinctive
dread of people of this klna. They
stir up and give new life to the very
traits of character which we try to
eradicate. These irritators drag out
to the light the skeletons we have
tried to bury. If they do not always
mean to injure us, they do, neverthe
less. We try be agreeable to them,
but they throw a wet blanket on our
enthusiasm, put a damper on our
spontaneity, our buoyancy, untU we
actually suffer in their presence,' and
feel that a great load has been lifted
from us when they depart.
On the other hand, there are peo
ple who are a perpetual Inspiration to
U3. " Every time they come near us,
we fetl as though we had taken a spir
itual tonic, a mental bath. Where
the others made us feel ten years old
er, theeei people renew our youth. We
feel the tingle of younge life coursing
through our veins. All the antago
nism we felt toward the irritators
has gone in an instant; the sun has
broken out of dark clouds and brought
fresh life and cheer, and we feel a new
joy of living. .
These delightful people multiply
our good qualities and traduce our
bad ones; they make us touch heights
we con Id not approach alone. When
they are with us we do things easily
which would have been impossible in
the presence of those who antagonize
or depress us.
No matter what sorrows or difficul
ties we may be passing through, these
inspiriting characters come with a
healing balm in their presence; they
bring hopefulness and joy iand peace
and comfort. We long for their com
ing; we dread to have them go, be
cause they have changed our very
climate from an artic to a temperate
one. We take new courage when
they come again; they add strength
to our determination to make the
most of life.
In the presence of these rare char
acters we feel an added force of pow
er which we can not describe, but
whose potency can not be questioned.
No one has ever been able to explain
this personal power, but we have all
felt its effects. Ltura Bridgman, the
famous deaf-mute, said she felt a dis
tinct force when certain people ' came
near her which either attracted or re
pelled her according to the character
of the person. Her attendant' said
she would instinctively shrink, as
though something was going to barm
her, whenever a bad person came uear
her. She could feel character; could
sense moral status.
Whatever this personality-force
may be, we know that It is a power
for good or evil.
Some noted bad characters inhistory
ruined a great many people because
of this tremendous personal force, this
magnetism, which practically hypno
tized others, as birds are sometimes
held by the magnetism of a snake's i

Youth's Companion.
The backboard stood In front of the
step and the crowd was gaily col
lecting. Old Mr. Beekman Watched
them wistfully. It was Carol Frost
who, turning to call 1-ack a gay word
to some one, noticed the lonely fig
ure with the pathetic eyes and dang
ling trumpet.
'Excuse me just a moment," she
said to Juliet Beekman. "I want to
epeak to your grandfather.'
She ran back up the steps and held
out a hand for the trumpet.
"We are going to climb Old Bald,"
she explained. "We expect to reach
the top about noon. We have mir
rors to signal with and a field-glass.
Won't you wave to us? I am sure
we could see you."
The old man's face brightened.
"Surely I Surely!" He nodded eager
ly. TU watch."
AU the morning he was restless
and excited. He climbed to his
room for big largest handkerchief,
and went Into the house half a dozen
times to compare his watch with the
clock. Finally the flashes appeared.
A number of people were watching,
and answered from the steps. In his
corner he' waved his handkerchief
alone.
He was waiting when the crowd
returned. Carol went to him at
once.
"I brought you the prettiest stone
I could find on the top," she said.
"I thank ye thank ye kindly I"
the old man answered; and then, his
eagerness conquering, "Are ye sure
ye saw mi?" .
"Sure," Carol answered. "You
were standing right on this corner;
the others were on the steps."
The old man's face was almost ra
diant. Some one had watched for
him for him!
That was the way it began the
old man's happy summer. Presently
a few others fell Into the habit of
stopping a minute or two to tell him
of their trips; and when they had t
"stripplng-bee," at Carol's sugges
tlon he was invited. It did not
trouble him that be could not hear;
it was happiness enough to be doing
something with other people. His
old, trembling fingers fumbled eager
ly over the fragrant fir.
Juliet did not wholly like it. "You
mustn't let grandfather bother," she
toMCaroC " " ."
"He doesn't," Carol answered,
quieuy. it isn't a bother; it's a
pleasure."
A month after she reached home
Carol received a package and a note.
The package contained an old medal
The note was from Juliet.
"Poor grandfather left us last
week," Juliet wrote. "He wasn't
HI; he Just fell asleep one night and
did not wake again. Afterward we
found this old school medal marked
wun your name, iou won't care
for It, I know, but I send it for bid
sake. We miss him more than we
could have thought possible. I wish
I bad the chance to talk to him again
ne wanted so lime, and we were
so thoughtless."
Carol touched the little old medal
tenderly. It had cost sometimes,
that summer, but she was so glad
now.

THE NEW SPEAKERSHIP IDEA.
New York Christian Advocate.
It is rumored that in the near fu
ture the "insurgent" Republican
members of Congress may unite with
the Democratic members to oust
Speaker Cannon and to elect as
Speaker In bis place Asher P. HIads.
Mr. Uinde Is not a member of Con
gress, lie is a parliamentarian oi
great ability, whose knowledge is al
ready a powerful factor in congres
sional disputes. He Is not a parti
san, ana n eiectea it wouia De as a
nonpartisan presiding officer of ac
knowledged capacity. Such a pro
ceeding shocks all our political prej
udices. For so long have we been
told that government by political
parties necessitates all our present
system of blind parUsan bigotry, that
the spectacle of an unprejudiced,
eminently fair speaker, whose only
im would be to preside Impartially,
seems almost a revolution.
If this proposition gets beyond the
academic stage of news rumors and
Is taken up seriously, our partisan
press will fairly shriek with prophe
cies of dire disaster to our whole polit
ical fabric. We shall be, told in big
headliness that the party In power is
responsible and must be able to shape
its policy. Of course such things at
the packing of committees, of refusing
to recognize certain members of Con
gress for months, by the 8peaker,
retaliation upon any member of his
own party who differs with him, and
the establishment of a powerful oil
garchy behind the scenes are all inci
dental and must be accepted as the
necessary evils of a compact party
organisation. Ui course, also, any
legislation not wanted by the Spea
ker's clique can be quietly killed in
the committee room, if only the pre
siding ofllcer U a part of the com'
bine.
'Now, to break up this clique, ban
lsh that oligarchy, set the House free,
and make Its presiding officer its ser
vanf instead of its master and auto
crat, i? contrary to all the "interests"
which nock to Washington. There
fore it is very unliktly that such an
eminently sane proposal as that of
electing an unprejudiced master of
parliamentary law to preside over
the House win get beyond the incn
bation state In the near future.
ConnelUville, Fa April SO "No
city life for me. I intend to bay a
farm for my old mother and father,
another one for myself and settle
down for good." So says Lawrence
E. May horn, of Ohlopyle, who leaves
tomorrow tor Chicago to receive his
bequest of tl60,000 from John A.
SerUe, of that city, who la at death's
door.
Eight years ago Mayhorn saved
Serlle from the attack of an Italian
and disappeared In the Labor Diy
throng on Pittsburg's busiest corner.
After being Ignorant of his preserv
er's Identity since that time, Serlle
lately located him through an adver
tisement and gave him a fortune.
Mayhorn Is a small farmer at
Ohlopyle, a little mountain town.
He desires nothing more. His
wealth will enable him to -purchase
the trazt be now rents and he will
also buy for his parents the adjoining
farm they are living on. Today
Mayhorn Joined his wife, who Is In a
Unlontown hospital, for the first time
since his good fortane became known
to them. They discussed future plans
at great length, but Mayhorn was not
to be persuaded to leave Ohlopyle.
His wife agreed. Of all the flatter
ing oCera-ibr investing his wealth
Maytcrn considered but one. ue is
giving serious thought to putting
$ 0,000 In founding a bank at
Ohlopyle,1" Five otter ' men " of that
vllage have agreed to put up 1100,000.
Mayhorn le leaves tomorrow to claim
bis bequest.

A bad man or woman with great
brain power and a strong magnetic
force do untold injury to those who
come within the magic of their influ
ence, just as as a clean, pure, large
hearted, large-brained person, with
strong magnetic qualities, can do in
finite good in attracting people from
the wrong to the right
The right kind of magnetism is just
as cultivable as the wrong kind, and
what a glorious thing it is to be able,
wherever we go through life, to make
ourselves magnets for good, attract
ing people toward the true, the noble,
the beautiful.
It Is not a very difficult thing to
cultivate the ability to radiate power,
to be felt as a real force In the world.
It is not a very difficult art to acquire.
It is the positive qualities that radi
ate force, the plus, the creative qual

That human nature Is tbe same to
day as It was four centuries ago Is in
dicated by the fears aroused In vari
ous places by the approach of Halley-U.
comet. That the world has progress
ed Is proved by the fact that these
fears are exceptional and not general.
Science reassures far more often than
it alarms, and this is one of the strik
ing instances of that fact.
Astronomers, theologians and
plain citizens today are speculating
about this strange visitor of the
skies, but they do not fail Into a su
perstitious panic like the one which re
sulted when this same comet appear
ed in 1456, and to the Ave Maria was
added this prayer: "Lord save as
from the devil, the Turk and the com
et." Of course, It so happened that
about at that time the Turks had
come into full possession of Constan
tinople and were threatening to over
run all of Eastern and Southern Eu
rope. It seems to have been argued
that though ,the Turks were quite
powerful they had not yet reached
the position of being able to command
a comet to follow them ergo," it the
urks did not bring the comet must
have brought tbe Turks. Therefore
the panic
In later years the comet turned
from a bad to a good omen, andirw
have reports that the comets of 1811
and 1858 had a most beneficial effect
on tbe earth's atmospere, especially
of the vineyards of Southern Europe.
t seems that the wine of those years
was of such abundance and of such a
oy-producing quality that for a lo,
tlme it was advertised as "Com -
wine." If our present methods i-f
advertising had been in vogue we
should probably be manufacturing
Comet wine" even to this day per
haps shooting off skyrockets over the
vats in tbe cellars to produce tbe
flavor.
However, it is probable the only
real effect a comet has is to make
every one one more keenly alive to
both the good and bad events of the
"comet year." Had this noted sky
light of H alley's appeared about the
time of 'Frisco earthquake, there is
no telling what sins would curve been
charged up to it.
