Good Health Bad Digestion, Bad Heart.

Poor digestion often causes irregular-ity of the heart's action. This irregu-larity may be mistaken for real, organicheart disease. The symptoms are muchthe same. There is however a vastdifference between the two: organicheart disease is often incurable; ap-

parent heart disease is curable if gooddigestion be restored.

A case in point is quoted from theNew Era, of Qreensburg, Ind. Mrs.Ellen Colsom, Newpoint, Ind., awoman 48 years old, had suffered forfour years with distressing stomachtrouble. The eases generated by tiieindigestion pressed on the heart, andcaused an irregularity of its action.She had much pain in her stomach andheart, and was subject to frequent andsevere choking spells which were mostsevere at night. Doctors were tried iuvain; the patient became worse, de-

spondent and feared impending death.

ly, smiling."I remember now, that it was the

same with me and the cat," said Joe."I know I wanted to tell you how sorryI was, and it was all I could think ofwhen Jonessy came to see ma"

"I am sorny, too, Joe," said Polly,"and I hope you won't think that Idone It on purpose."

Somehow the summer dusk gatheredaround them, and neither seemed tonotice It, as they talked on and onacross the table between them. Afterawhile, however, Polly rose and wentto the open door, where Joe followedher.

"Say, Polly," he said, taking her un-

resisting hand, "1 have been sorry for"

everything all these years; won't yousay that you forgive me?"

Polly looked up into his face."I have been sorry, too, Joe. Oh I so

sorry."Just then Polly's cat, purring softly,

rubbed herself against Joe's leg, and atthe same moment old Domlnlck crowedlustily on his own side of the fence.- -

Now, In Pinevllle, a good many thingsare dated from the time "when JoePeterhian and Polly May got married."

"Not exactly, but I advised him to goand talk the matter over with you. Ray,Polly, you two ought to make up. Youtake my advice," said Jonessy.

New Propelling Device by Which aVessel May Tow Itself.

A unique propelling device has- justbeen Invented whereby a vessel may Ina measure become its own tugboat. Itresembles an auxiliary propeller morethan anything else, consisting mainlyof a cylinder pointed at both ends andcarrying within a motor mechanismwhich receives Its power ordinarilyfrom the engine of the vessel to whichIt is attached.

At one end of the propelling devicethere Is a screw propeller, and to themiddle Is attached a bar, or tube, con-

necting the ship and forming a conduc-tor for electricity, steam, compressedair or other motive power. On eitherside of the tube radical arms extend,connecting with the shjp in order tomore perfectly secure the auxiliarycraft to Its greater consort.

The device may be attached to bothsides, to either end, or to whatever por-tion of the ship may seem desirable.Two of them will propel an oceansteamer with sufficient force to give itheadway, though very little speed. Itis especially designed for the use ofvessels which have suffered accident,either to their propelling, machinery orto the rudder. It will supply admira-bly the place of the steering apparatus,and seems to be Just about what hasbeen needed for some time. Nothingcan be more unmanageable than a shipwithout a rudder, and the Inventorsays it was really this Idea that in-

spired him to conceive what promisesto be a very useful contrivance.

Any vessel can be easily equippedwith tho new propelling device, andthat, too, without complication of anysort. All that Is necessary Is to supplythe avenuo for the power to reach thedevice and to provide for its being se-

cured to the side or end of the ship.When not In use It can be carried ondavits, In the same fashion as the ship'sboats. Thus when It Is needed It maybe easily dropped to the necessary

IKilnt where It Is to be fastened and receive Its connections as easily and gen-tly as when a boat Is lowered In aheavy sea with proper precautions toprevent Its being stove in against theside of the vessel.

Ordinarily the device would weighone ton, and be of twenty-hors- e powercapacity. Its dimensions would betwenty-thre- e Inches in diameter by seven-

ty-two Inches in length, though theInventor believes that yachts and faststeamers would do better If the conicalcase were made longer so as to slipthrough the water more easily. Thiswould not Interfere with tho capacityof the motor.

How Barnum Won His Wife.Barnum was Mayor of Bridgeport

and a widower, ne was lonesome andhis beautiful homo, Waldemere, on thoshore of Long Island Sound, was notmuch visited except by sightseers. Hebecame Interested In the beautifuldaughter of John Fish, of Southport,England, a retired manufacturer, andsolicited her hand in marriage. Bar-num was well advanced In years andknew his fame as the prince of show-men was not sufficient to win the prize.In fact, the fame might hurt his suitrather than help It, for Miss Fish great-ly disliked the notoriety attached tothe "greatest show on earth," and aftershe had married Its owner, always,managed to hold herself aloof from thepublicity her husband loved so well.

But the old shqwman's knowledge ofthe English leve for celebrity led himto play a winning card- - He had hisphotograph taken, with Waldemere asa backgroun.d. The picture represent-ed hlra seated In a showy landau, har-nessed to four beautiful black horses,his coachman on the box and two foot-men behind- - Under the photographwere the words, "Lord Mayor. 6?Bridgeport." A copy of this picturewas forwarded to Miss Fish, and Bar-num always thought it "did the busi-ness." At all events, it was not longafter Miss Fish received the picturethat she became his wife.

( ITEN Joe retermrtn andw roily May get married,"tvhs a standing jest In

Plnevlllc.Joe and Polly lived on adjoining

five-acr- e lots, with only a fence be-

tween them. It was not a very highfence nor a strong one either, for it wasalmost rotted down In many places.

It was said that years ago Joe andPolly had been sweethearts, but thatthey had quarreled aboyt some triflingmatter, and that they had not spokento each other since that day.

Jonessy had Just been elected Justiceof Pinevllle, mid was looking aroundto see where the fees of the office wereto come from.

As there was nothing for him to do Inthe office, he thought that It was hisduty to go outside of it and hunt upsomething. In debating the questionwith himself as to what woujd be mostlikely to bring him In a fee, bis mind,of course, turned to marriages.

" hen Joe Peterman and Polly Mayget married," he repeated to himself,smiling. "Well, It Is a duty I owe tothis community to end that quarrel oftheirs the first thing, and It is a dutyI owe to myself to see that they getmarried as soon afterward as possi-ble."

So Jonessy took a walk out to JoePeterman's place, and found the latterat home.

"Joe," he said, after some talk onsubjects in general. "Joe, I came outto see you on official business."

Joe's eyes flew wide open."I haven't been doing anything

wrong, have I?" he asked, with trem-

bling voice.The truth was that Joe had thrown

a brickbat at Polly's cat the night be-

fore, and without really intending to doso. had hit her and knocked her out ofhis favorite peach tree, and had feltrather mean about It ever since,

"Well, I don't know," Jonessy replied,cautiously, for he could see that Joehad something on his mind, andthought to draw him out "You see,Joe, the right and the wrong generallydepends on the circumstances attend-ing the case,"

"That's what I reckoned," said Joe."You see I saw her coming throughthe fence, and tried to make her goback."

"And she wouldn't go?""No.""W hat did you do next' 1

"Soon as I spoke she ran np thatpeach tree, and went to clawing andscratching the bark."

"She did. eh?""She did. Then I got mad, like a

fool," said Joe, hanging his head. "Ipicked up a brickbat and threw It ather. and down she came, kicking herlegs'llke drumsticks."

"Didn't she say anything?" askedJonessy.

"Who?""Why, Tolly May, of course.""You didn't think that It was Polly I

treated that way, did you?" asked Joe,"No, hardly. Put who was It?""It was Polly's cat, J ne sy. I thought

that perhaps Polly had seen It, andgone to you and enteruf! a complaintagainst me."

"No, she hasn't done It yet, Joe. butthere J.s no telling how soon she may doso," said Jonessy. Then he added, con-

fidentially, "If I were you I'd go overand see her and settle the whole thingout of court."

After Jonessy left him Joe stood andscratched his head for some time. Thewhole thing was & puzzle to him. HadJonessy known more than he pretend-ed? If so, had Polly told him? And IfPolly had, was It at her suggestion thatJonessy had come and told him to goand see her?

"It is ten years since we spoke," hemused; with a sad smile, while a mock-

ing bird was singing blithely In a treeclose by.

Then suddenly he burst out laughing."The idea of Polly climbing a tree," hetried. "And me throwing brickbats ather, and she fallUig

But Jonessy walked homeward Inquite a different mood. Somehow hefelt that his mission find Deen rather afailure. Still, every once Jn awhile, agleam of hope darted upward and hethought that he could see a fee of officeafar off.

As he walked along, musing anddreaming he found himself suddenlyface to face with a woman carrying ahuge basket on her arm.

"How do you do. Judge?" she cried,cheerily, Jetting her basket down to theground. "I was real glad to hear thatyou was elected."

"Thank you, Polly. I was Just think-ing about you when you bobbed up,"said Jonessy. "Have Just been over tosee your neighbor, Joe Peterman, andwas op my way home with my thoughtsfull of both of you."

Polly frowned."Joe isn't going to have me to court.

Is he?" she asked."Can't say. Polly. I reckon that de-

pends as much on you as on hlnj.""Well, he had no business coming In

through the window like be did," Pol".cried. "It served him only right thatthe window fell down on blm like itdid and caught h,lr hy the leg. Ofcourse, when I grabbed him by thethroat to keep him from squalling, andhe cut me on the wrist, I was madenough to kill him. But I kept my tem-

per, and I didn't hurt him any morethan I could help," she protested.

"But Joe didn't,-- -" Jonessy began."Of course Joe didn't Joe never

would listen to reason." crhjd Polly."But Polly, Joe" Jonessy began

again."That's all right Jim Jonessy: you

have Joe's side of the story, and I amgoing to tell mine," cried Polly. "AfterI got him loose I bothered with him allday, and doctored him, and that nightafter dark, I carried him In my armsto the fenge .and set him down on theother side."

"Goodness, Polly, you don't mean totell me that you carried him In yourarms?" Jonessy exclaimed.,

"Well, I Just did, and r wear to It

A Doctor's BUI.A good true story Is told of a San

Francisco philanthropist and a doctorwith a conscience. A wealthy ladyseveral years ago developed an In-

significant wen on her face. In hertravels In Europe she consulted aneminent surgeon as to Its removal, andwas advised not to have It done. AnEastern surgeon of equal eminencealso declined to perform tho operation.Returning to San Francisco, she hap-pened to show It to a physician andsurgeon of no national reputation ahumble homeopath but a man whoseskill was unquestioned. He examinedIt carefully, and said there would beno trouble about It;, It was a simpleoperation. Dreading to risk It aftersuch eminent warning, she delayed ac-

tion, but finally asked another exam-ination and opinion. The same con-

clusion was reached; and the operationfollowed, with wholly successful re-

sults.One day, when the doctor called, his

bill was asked for. He presented it,fifty dollars being the amount. Tholady smiled and said:

"Do you consider that a roaRonablocharge, considering the circum-stances?" to which the doctor replied:

"That is my charge for that opera- -

tlon; your clrcumstauces have nothing'to do with It" .

The lady went to her desk, and drewa check for five hundred dollars, andpresented It to him. Ho looked at Itand handed It back, saying:

"I cannot accept this. My chargefor that operation Is fifty dollars."

"Very well," the lady replied. "Keepthe check, and place the balance to mycredit."

Somo mouths after slvo received alengthy Itemized bill, upon which weroentered charges for treatment of vari-ous kinds, rendered to all sorts andends of humanity, male and female,black and white, who nad been mend-ed at her expense. She was so de-

lighted at It that she Immediatelyplaced another check for five hundreddollars to her credit on the same terms,and It Is now being earned Iri the sameway.
