In the United States the raw material may be obtained ± h more cheaply than in England- Lt is to say. ponies of suitable me, breeding ami age way be bought thorn o ghly broken to ride or very much 2 than ponies of similar powcrs and raining may bo had in England. In the Indian Territory thoroughbred stat lions hare been used on the ranges f < neveral years, so that many of tho pomes there carry two and even three crosses of blood. These ponies are broken m the manner peculiar to the plains of Amer ica and m use driving their own kind or cattle acquire very quickly the knack of wheeling shortly around at .nil speed and of stopping to a dead standstill in a very few strides. These two aceom- Dlisbments, so vital to the excellence of the polo pony, have not to bo learned when the process of training has been begun, and moreover tho purchaser takes no risk of getting animals whose legswill not stand thostrain. For from »40 to $75 a very line selection of well bred ponies may be bought in the Indian Territory, which is remarkably cheap considering that much of their educa tion for use on the field has ulruudy b*uu finished —Horseman.

For over a century the great whi(o power has descended toward the queen of cities. Over mountains ha she come, hostile peoples has she subdued, treaties has she made and treaties has she torn up, armies has she raised and qavies built, wars has she waged and countries has she absorbed in her march. On the sur face lur policy has changed so often that the story of them would be a tapes try for variegation. At heart it has never altered one iota. She is coming to the Mediterranean, and she is coming there through the Bosporus and the Dardanelles. Her purpose is as fixed a# fate, and she is prepared to be as pa tient as Providence in its accomplish ment. But so long as she exists she will never relinquish it.

To bo Committed to Memory by All Dyspeptics Invalids, Con sumptives What *8 the cause of nilie-teuths of all disease? Imperle.’t. <! gt Hlinn of food. Why does imperftct dig “tton cause disease of other orgai s? Because l lood, nerves mu p cles, hone and flesh are derived from •he food w e eat and digest. If I digestion is perfect tie bkod is inure, neives find musees strong, 111 'ah firm. If th j d;g- s ion is poor, I the blood is Hippln d from half di • gL-1 d, ierm< niing food, mhating I’very nm ve and organ . The re sult is, sooner or later, organic disease, because ever) organ being poorly nourished the weakestgives wav first and we have liver 'rouble, kidney complaints, ne..it Ui-ease or consumption. Is not dieting the usil’il and beat tretnient to cure indigestion? No, because the dyspeptic has been starved long enough, what is needed is abundant nourishment not the lack of it. The stomach and blood demand nutriment, not bran crackers. What is the best method of cure? I’leantv of wholesome f-'od weil digested. But how can a weak stomach digest plenty of wholesome ford? By taking with the food after each meal ertain harmless rem edies which are known to diges' food and thus nourish the blood and r»st the weak stomach. What are these harmless rem edies? The most valuable ar < vegetable ferments, pure pepsin, Golden Seal and fruit salts All of these are now combined in the form of pleasant lasting tablets sold by druggists under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab’ets. Are there tablets superior to the various liquid preparations sc ca'led dyspepsia cures? Most decidedly, because all liquid medicines become stale with age a' d lose whatever goed qualities they may have had orig inally, while the tablet retains its properties indefinitely. Stuart's Dysyepsia Tablets can be carried in the pocket, always at hand ready for use when traveling or at daily occupation . They cost but 50cts.and should b> kept in every family. They the digestion perfect and .-av ■ doctor’s bills by warding off disease. Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets adapted to all forms of dyspepsia? Yee, because in all cases the ‘rouble results fr tin m lige sted ferm.'iiting food. Stuart’s Dyspep sia Tablets cause the food t > be digested before it has time to ferment.
