Your stomach of course. Why? Be
cause if it is out of order you are one
of the must miserable creatures liv
ing. Give it a fair, honorable chance
and see if it is not the best friend you
have in the end. Don't smoke in the
morning. Don't drink in the morn
ing, it you must smoke and drink
wait until your stomach is throngh
with breakfast. You can drink more
and smoke more in the evening and
it will tell on you less. If your food
ferments and does not digest right,
if you are troubled with Heartburn.
Dizziness of the bead, coming up of
the food after eating. Biliousness. In
digestion, or any other tronble of the
stomach, you had best use Green's
August Flower, as no person can use
it witnont immediate relief.

me?" asked the doctor.

With the near completion of the 11
waco and Shoalwater Bay railroad, a
good deal of inquiry is being made for
seaside property over on North Beach;
but indications point to Ocean Pard,
the practical terminus of the railroad
as the coming resort. The railroad ter
minates on Shoalwater Bay just a half
mile east of the Park and by reason of
a prospective town at the terminui of
some importance, and the nearness to
the ocean, lots are much in demand. In
order to reach a popular demand for
properly and afford everyone a chance
to invest, a new addidion to Ocean
Park, to be known as Railroad Addi
tion, has just been put on the market at
prices ran cine from $10 to $50 a lot.
The location is the best on the penin
sula, it Demg out nait a nine irom
Shoalwater Bay and a quarter of a mile
from the ocean, one driving there will
nave the advantage of both ocean and bay,
and as the railroad runs along the Ad
dition's southern boundary and termin
ates just a half mile east of it, the Loca
tion is one ot tne very nest, ana Aioia are
rapidly being spoken for. The Railroad
will be completed by May, after which
time ?reat activity in bnildinc at the
terminus, known as Sealand, will take
place. Already large numbers of men
are at work clearins streets in this new
town. This is by ail odds the best
chance for making an investment on the
uoasi. i. vi. riynn, me iivo nsai cauiie
man of Portland, has this property for
sale.
A WOMAN'S OPINION.
Sensitiveness
Bat Another
Selfishness.
Name For
Who of us does not possess a sen
sitive relative or friend? A creature
whose entire being is so delicately at
tuned that the merest Dreatn, tne
slightest joke or faintest allusion will
sweep the strings'of tho sensitive in
strument until it wails in discord?
Parents stand guard over such
daughters and foster their sensitive
natures with a feeling half awe, half
pride. It is with a half reproachful
and half exultant smile that a mother
clasps a shrinking, kicking specimen
of babydom, while she explains to the
innocent offender how sensitive the
child is. The sensitive girl is an in
tense one. She is both watchful and
suspicious. At school sne loves ner
dearest chum with an absorbing affec
tion, and makes their companionship
a stormy one. The intimate ana
she will generally be some frank',
generous creature will afterward re
member this friendship as one un
broken martyrdom. ?
As a sweetheart the sensitive gir
is honey and gaU. She loves with an
intensity and recklessness that is di
vine, one exacts tne meaning ot
every trifling word, look and act ot
her lover with a persistency that is
fiendish. She turns pale and blushes
at nothing and weeps at thin air.
What time her lover does not spend
in exalting her sweetness, he is kept
busy explaining something that has
hurt her.
It is, however, when this girl be
comes a wife that the extreme possi
bilities of a sensitive nature may
freely play. The broad sea ot matri
monial life presents a magnificent
surface for the breezes ot a sensitive
soul in ail the variations of its ever
changing waves, in its swift counter
currents and deep ground swell.
Over its jagged, rocky shores, and
among its thousands of islets and
bays, there is such a glorious oppor
tunity for the sensitive to sigh and
moan.
It is this kind ot wife who is pained
when her husband goes hshmg with
out her approval; who is hurt how
ever kindly he may seek to point out
some little failing of her own. Her
eyes will be full of tears if he is de
layed at dinner time, and she is
crushed to the earth when ho denies
some trifling request.
She is the sort of a woman whose
devotion is intoxication, but whose
sufferings are an everlasting pin
prick. The sensitive sweetheart and
the sensitive bride are novelties. The
radiance of a fresh romance, the de
liciousness of tender conciliation
after the agony of ghastly misunder
standings compensate to the lover or
newly made husband.
The sensitive, tear-stained, accus
ing, reproachful-eyed woman, howev
er, as a steady companion is like the
perpetual dropping of water on the
rocks. It means out ot patience, love
and respect.
A woman of this kind is a sort of
chameleon. She feeds on air and her
color burns or fades with the passing
nue of other people a thoughtlessness.
She becomes, unknown to herself, tho
center of a new creation. About her
is evolved an atmosphere of caution
and restraint. Husband, children
and friends cross this impalpable but
powerful barrier with guiltily con
cealed wishes or cunningly sugared
suggestions. They approach a per
sonal desire or a consideration of their
rights with cold chills of apprehen
sion and tremors of anticipation.
This woman is not sensitive at all.
She is just sensitively and diplomat
ically ill-natured. She is a tyrant
and she lashes her slaves with her
tears and exacts their servitude by
courtesy and not bills of sale. She is
allowed to praotice her wicked pro
fession because it has been miscalled
from babyhood. She has bean assis
ted in its cultivation by weak parents
an indulgent husband and dutiful
children. She learned the power ot
her weakness in babyhood, which is
anything but a guileless mole-eyed
condition. Her yonth is spent in ex
perimenting on the unfortunate allied
to her by blood.
She learned that a sob was worth
more in solid confectionery than a
scratch or bite. As a sweetheart she
knew that a tear was equivalent to
the humble confession a woman loves
to hear. As a wife she learned that
under the garb of sensitiveness wom
an may tyrannize indefinitely over a
generous, chivalric, peace-loving man.
A. domestic martyr is only a shade
better than a domestic scoll, and the
same selfish disregard ot other pej
ple'a happiness is the foundation rock
in the soul of the woman who weeps
as well as the woman who scolds.

THE CHOIR'S WAY OF TELLING IT.
A Uoslcal Criticism a Little Oat of The
Regular Ron.
Attending services not long ago in an
elegant church edifice, where they wor
ship God with taste in a highly esthetic
manner, the choir began that scriptural
poem which compares Solomon with thn
lilies of the field, somewhat to the for
mer's disadvantage. Although never
possessing a great admiration for Solo
mon, nor considering him a suitable per
son to hold np as a shining example bo
fore the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion, still a pane of pity for him was
felt when the choir, after expressing un
bounded admiration for the lilies of tho
field, which it is doubtful if they ever
observed very closely, began to tell the
congregation, through the month of thn
soprano, that 'Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayea.-- oiraigmwaythe BO
nrnnn trna rainfiniiwi hv tha Vines .!.
f .u-w -... wp w. wv.. ..J kMU UOOI nUU
aeoiareatnac ooiomon was most decid
edly and emphatically not arrayed was
not .arrayed. Then the alto ventured it
as her opinion that Solomon was not ar
rayed, wnenrtne tenor, -without a mo
ment's hesitation, sung as if it had been
officially announced that "he was not
arrayed." Then, when the feelings of
the' congregation had been harrowed up
sufficiently and our sympathies all
aroused fur poor Solomon, whose numer
ous .wives allowed him to go about in
such a'fashion'even.in that climate, the
choir altogether, in a most cool and com
posed manner, informed us that the idea
they intended -to convey was that Solo
mon in all his 'glory was not arrayed
"like one of these." These what? So
long a time had elapsed since they sung
of the lilies that the thread was entirely
lost, and by "these" one naturally con
cluded that the choir was designated.
Arrayed like one of these? Wo should
think not indeed! Solomon in a Prince
Albert or cutaway cost? Solomon with
an eye-glass and a moustache, his hair
cut pompadour? No, most decidedly.
Solomon m the very zenith of his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.
Despite the experience of the morning,
the hope still remained that in the even
ing' a sacred song might be sung in a
manner that might not excite our risi
bilities, or leave the impression that we
had been listening to a case of black
mail. But again off started the nimble
soprano with the very laudable though
startling announcement, "I will wash."
Straight way Ihe alto, not to be outdone,
declared she would wash.- And the tenor,
finding it to be the thing, warbled forth
he would wash. Then tho deep chested
basso, as though calling up all his forti
tude for the plnnge, bellowed forth the
stern resolve that he also would wash.
Next a short interlude on the organ,
strongly suggestive of the escanino of
steam or splash of the waves, after
wuiuu mu cuoir luuiviuuuuy ana collec
tively asserted the firm, unshaken re
solve that they would wash. At last they
solved the problem by stating that they
proposed to "wash their bands in inno
cency, so will the altar of the Lord bo
compassed." Good Housekeeping.
