Joaquin Miller's Prophesy.
"Preserve us in this danger
ous day of unexampled prosper
ity, We, Lord God, have borne

ure prosperity,"
So prayed Edward Everett
Hale, the venerable chaplain of
the Senate at the recent opening
of Congress, and Joaquin Miller,
poet of the Sierras today at his
Hillside home back of Piedmont
said:
"There never was breathed a
prayer more fervent. And tears
rolled down the cheeks of more
than one Senator-
"The East is dangerously pro
sperous. Money is poured out in
rivers and every phase of activity
is being pushad to the utmost.
The country is humming 1 ke . a
hive with industry and all over
the land I saw the people well
dressed and well fed.
"In Washington new buildings,
the like of which Rome in her
glory never dreamed, are being
erected. Yet it is my prophesy
Washington will be sacked and
burned again. So drunk are the
people with the good things of
life that with the blight of the
frost of adversity a hundred Cox
ey armies will pour from the cit
ies ready to burn and slaughter.
The President is right when he
asks for a powerful Army and
Navy but they are needed against
no outside foes- When this
tide of prosperity turns, both will
be needed to save the country
from itself."

are drg-ing themselves around, jaei
"out of sorts."
In nine cases out of ten this condition
is the direct result of a weakened stom
ach, and when the digestive organs are
strengthened wiu Mi-o-na there will be
no distress, dizziness, nausea, headache,
Gtc, and the old time energy, force,
strength and happy spirits will soon le
turn. Mi-o-na is not a- mere digestive. It
absolutely strengthens all tbe organs of
digestion, restores good appetite, strong
nerves and the pover to digest auy food
