Difficult Digestion
That is dyspepsia.
It makes life miserable.
Its sufferers eat not because they eani to,
but simply because they must.
They know tliey are Irritable and fretful;
but they cannot be otherwise.
They complain of bad taste in tha
mouth, tenderness at the pit of the stom-

the simple rules he has pasted up
above the blackboard. The seeoud
Monday Is generally the time set for
the opening of hostilities. The big
leader, likely as not bigger than the
teacher,, has used Saturday and Sun
day mapping out his program.
Subdued snickers, inattention to the
business in hand, poorly prepared les
sons or lessons absolutely unlearned
mark the day's proceedings. The teach
er reprimands and orders the school to
stick to those tasks until they are
learned. Nobody is kept in at recess or
noou rest, for as yet no open defiance
has marked the demeanor of the pu
pils. They go slowly, for the temper
of the mastery Is not a revealed thing
yet Just before school "lets out" the
teacher rises, taps his bell an I, bavin:!
secured attention, delivers a curt lec
ture concerning what has been doue-
or, rather, not been doneand bis anx
ious desire to see Immediate Improve
ment. Then the bell taps In dismissal
and the boys rush tumultuonsly out.
Bring back bucolic shouts of scorn and
defiance as they scuttle away.
Then the teacher. If he Is wary,
knows he Is In the position of the man
who has bet his sole remaining dollar
on a losing horse he Is up against it
good and plenty. He arrives at the
scene of his labors on Tuesday wltb
tense muscles and hard face, for there
will be some kin 1 of a row before the
shades of night fall. It Is very seldom
that a coward can be Induced to take
a country school, for his dominion will
not last five days. The boys can tell a
shirker at a glance and they lose no
time with such, but get busy at once.
The little boys begin the racket, for
they have been incited thereto by their
elders, who wish to take a few notes.
The big boys have said they are behind
the little ones and they are', so far be
hind that no help comes In the long
aching day. Some small boy falls to
learn his lesson. When asked why, be
says with a wildly beating heart, but
bold front, "I don't have to." This
causes a snicker to run all over the
room, wherein the bold youth Joins,
closing with a gasp as the ruler drops
on some soft spot In his anatomy. He
knows he cannot whip the teacher and
looks in vain for the promised help.
80 he takes hIs Hlng and snufllingly
(promises to be good. Rage is In his
heart against the teacher and the big
boys both.
Possibly three or four such happen
ings reduces that school to a condition
of somber thought; the teacher Is not
so easy after all. Morning recess calls
for a conference. Usually the teacher
stays inside the school house in deep
thought. He sees his work and plans
to have it out as soon as possible, for
delays are dangerous. He sits at his
desk, fingers his ruler and once In a
while glances out of the window. He
marvels that the children do not seem
to be playing, but he has things to
chain his thoughts and falls to hear the
stealthy footfall on the roof. Then as
the children file In, bobbing In awk
ward courtesy as they enter, be be
comes aware of a large amount of
smoke in the room. He is being
"smoked out."
"Jack Simpson." he says to the big
fellow he has picked out as the ring
leader; "see what Is the matter with
that stove."
Jack obeys It Is part of the play
and a huge volume of white smoke
rushes out Into the room. He closes
the door, coughs explosively it Is all
put on and backs away. "She's full o'
sumpln'." he gasps.
"Why Is the pipe choked?"
"S wallers must 'a' built their nests
in the chimley."
This sally is greeted with a roar.
"Silence!" cries the teacher, his
words cutting like knives. "I will do

Think so?" la the Impudeut retort,
"You will cither do It or I will have
to puulsh you severely."
"Heckou you better lick me if yo
kin," says Jack as be defiantly faces
the pedagogue.
This places the school and teacher on
1 war footing. The ultimatum having
been delivered the teacher either goes
In and fights a winning fight or loses
all control of the school. It admits of
no alternative. For the honor of the
profession, be It known. In most cases
war medicine of a tierce and eager va
rlety Is speedily mixed. In the early
clash bone and sinew on the side of the

Then the school reassembled and the
usually mild eyes of that teacher bias

was sure to come.
The boys commenced to whistle in
concert with the shrill piping of the
wind. One small boy was detected In
the act and received a hot ruler on
his crupper when Wilson interposed
and said he alone was to blame. The
pedagogue then allowed he would have
to whip Wilson, so the action commenc

passed her child, like the others In the

The Manila grades are the smoothest,
I eveneat and most satisfactory in every
respect
The Sisal grades are rough, coarse
and harsh; they wear out the knotters,
twine guides and twine holders on the
binders very fast and are so stiff and
unyielding that the knots are more like
ly to slip and become untied when the
bundle drops from the binder or in
shocking and hauling.
Some twines are add merely by the
name of the manufacturer and the
salesman is careful not to mention the
grade, or quality. In buying always
require specific information as to the
quality of the Twine, and, moreover,
M very careful to inspect the tag at
tached to the balls. The buyer, if well
informed, cannot lie deceived.
Manila fibre is all brought from the
Philippine islands. Tho Pacific coast
should especlslly encourage trade with
these islands, for they now belong to
our country, and in Asiatic trade lies
our best hoo for the future, for the
reason that wheu this trade is devel
oped tho Pariflo coast will control it
land our commerce will increase a
thousand fold.
The only check that can be nut upon
the rapacity of the producers of Sisal
fibe in Yucatan (which is -the cause of
the present high price of twine) is the
largest possible use of Manila fibre.

no reason why you must
go through life, with half

long, thick hair, feed It
with Ayer's Hair Vigor,
