Impaired Digestion
May not be all that la meant by dyspepsia
now, bat It will be If neglected.
The uneasiness after eating, fits of nerv
oua headache, aoomesa of the stomach, and
disagreeable belching may not be very bad
now, bat they will be If the stomach Is

Dyspepsia Is such miserable disease
that the tendency to It should be given

- Millions of little glands or tubes connect the blood with the skin, and through

the akin pliable and soft and protecting it from heat and cold. The blood and skin
are ao closely related that whatever affects one seriously-interferes with, the func

SCHOOL CLOSED
The Teacher Iniured In a Run
away Accident and Reported ,
to Have Gone Insane.
In October, 1896, one - Monday
morning the Rushford school did not
open and . it was . reported that the
teacher had gone insane. ; The physi
cian, in attendance pronounced the
trouble nervous prostration and said
that school work was mentally and
physically impossible. The teacher,
who is now Mrs. L. A. Gullickson, of
Rushford, Minn., in a recent inter
view' published in the Star of that
place, gives the' true story of the event.
VTo begin at the beginning," she
said, "when I was about seven years
of age a sudden fright brought on a
dreadful condition ot nervousness.
When, in : 1896, - I was iniured in a
runaway accident, this, combined with'
my former; trouble, made me so ill
that I was unable to open school the
following Monday." - '
"Was it true that you were report
ed to be insane?" asked the- inter
viewer. - : -
Yes, and. the "members of my
family thought that I was becoming
so. Words do not express tne agony
I endured with my head and eyes.
The -least noise would cut through
my nerves like a knife. I was hot
and cold by . flashes, had piercing
pains in my temples and in the back
of my head and a red mist was con
stantly before my eyes.
I was dizzy and faint with .fearful
nausea, which nothing relieved. I
could take no solid ' food for 10 days,
but lived on milk and lime water.
When - the doctor had treated me for
nearly six weeks without helping me,
Mrs. J. : Webster, a nearby friend.
recommended Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. I took them
faithfully for not quite three months
and was perfectly cured.1 nave never
heard of a Bingle case where they did
not prove beneficial and know of sev
eral persons who have taken them suc
cessfully for rheumatism. "
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People are not like other medicines.
They act directly on the blood and
nerves. This makes them" invaluable
in such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, . St. - Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv
ous headache, the, after effects of the
grip, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow complexions and all forms
of weakness either in male or female.

ONE EXPERIENCE CNOUQH.
Farmer Telia How He Tried to Corner
Corn and Failed. -
"Durndest experience -1 ever had,
said the old farmer who was cautioning
his son against speculation, according
to the Detroit Free Press. "Oome
mighty nigh rulnin' me. - You fellers
here In Detroit don't know nothln' 'bout
It You kin squirm an' wriggle an' get
on yer feet someways, but there me an'
Jim was out there in the las' row o'
townships with no bank fur to draw on
an' both our farms mortgaged up to the
han'le.";
"How did it happen, dad?" Inquired
the son, who has been on the right side
of the market often enough to make
himself comfortable.
"Me an' Jim started In fur to cor
ner corn. I see a piece in the county
paper tellin how the thing was done,
an' I read it to Jim. Jim was the all-
firedest excited man you ever see and
calculated that there wasn't . nuthin'
anybody else could do that me an' him
couldn't do.- So we slips round an'
bought in all the corn in the county,
paying a average of 85 cents a bushel.
We only give out cash where we had
to and the rest got our j'lnt notes. It
jest , 'bout filled up Jim's double-decker
barn, and when the stuff was all cor
nered there we sat back and counted
up what we was agoin' to make.
Ike Simmons kim 'round and wanted
ter git ten bushel ter keep fur seedin'.
I asked him .a plum dollar a bushel and
tole him he needn't take It less he
liked. We argied and then we clinched
and he was wrapping me 'round a apple
tree when yer maw interfered. Me an'
Jim had four or five pitched battles
like that and was figurin' on glttin
shot guns at wholesale by takln' two
when we found out that all the farmers
up there was buyin' corn from the
counties j'inin. They were so dinged
mad they wouldn't give us nothln' for
ours an' we had to haul it sixteen miles
and sell It to a banker with a elervator
fur 20 cents a bushel. - Took me ten
years hard labor ter git even, and 1
never had no use fur corners or specu
lators or bankers since, t Keep outen it

CAUGHT AT HIS OWN
GAME.
Confidence Man Waa Too
Confidlna-
. . with tne Supposed Farmer.
Waiting at the union depot was a
round-faced man with an attractive
countenance, eyes that Invited confi
dence and rather long hair that waved
from a fine forehead. He was dressed
In clericals and looked the part. When
the old farmer took a seat after buying
a ticket for Ypsilanti the two fell into
conversation.. - :'. -.,..."'-. ,; V.i;V
The minister brought the talk around
to pickpockets and men who fool you
out of your money,' and expressed a
great dread of them, runs a story In
the Detroit Free Press. : He clung to
this topic until the noise of a row was
heard from the outside and he express
ed a desire to see what was the mat
ter. . . .
"Come on," he shouted, as he started.
"No, my friend," replied the farmer,
"not if you have any money about you.
It is sure to be taken from you in a
rough crowd like that" . - r tr;- -r -
"Here, you hold It and my watch un
til I run out a few minutes, and then
I'll hold your 'valuables while you go."
"All right, don't be too long," and the
farmer accepted his trust -
When the minister returned the far
mer was gone. Never did a clerical
masquerade come to a quicker end. He
rushed around muttering, things pro
fane,1 kept his hand In his hip pocket
and told everybody but the policeman
that he could lick any farmer that ever
wore shoe leather. .Half an hour later
he was making things blue. "I'll know
him-if I ever see him again, I don't care
how he's dressed, and I'll cut him into
Inch squares. - I don't 'low any man to
make a sucker of me and live to blow
about It?. . ... , : , . . .. .' , ' . ...
"Some guy cross-counter oh the con
game, Dick?" , r j ; -
"None cf your business; but If -that
mug didn't do the farmer as well as 1
did the sky-pilot I'll jump off the dock.
He had a bunch with him as thick as
your arm, too. But he's got all my stuff
and some lamb's got to' make good."
It had simply been a case of diamond

, Electrio Eel's Victim.
At the Zoological 'Gardens a 5 large
electric eel was swimming In its tank
with more activity than usual," when a
big cockroach fell in the water, and in
its efforts to get out made a disturb
ance of the surface, which attracted
the attention of the eel. "The eel turned
around, swam past it, discharged Its
battery' at aboutelght iochea off, and
the cockroach instantly stopped stone
dead. It did not even move Its anten
nae after. The eel then proceeded' to
swallow its victim, and the narrator
goes on to point out the curious eircum
stance that the fish, which weighed
about .twelve pounds, should find It
worth while to fire its heavy artillery at
a creature an Inch and' a half long,
when It could easily have swallowed It
sans facon. Chambers' Journal.
