I told him who I was and had
about five minutes very pleas

General Howard.

General Howard was kind
enough to say that he had met
me when on’ a former visit to
Rome. Quick as a flash Fight
ing Joe exclaim id, “was that
when Gen. Howard passed
through in the 60’s?” “No,” I
replied, “It was upon a visit
General Howard paid Rome a
couple of years ago. I did not
meet General Howard when he
passed through with Gei eral
Sherman.”

“Why not?” and Gen Wheel-
I er’s eyes twinkled.

“Because, sir, upon that oc-

1 remarked to Gen Wheeler

there came a tender look into

A WORN OUT FAD
“Spring- Medicines,” “Blood Purifi
ersand “Tonics” an Old Fash
ioned Idea.
Pure blood, strong nerves and muscles,, firm, healthy flesh
can only come from wnnlesome food well digested “Blood puri
fiers” and “nerve tonic” do not reach the cause of the mischief.
The stomarch is the point to be looked after. The safest and surest
way to cure any form of indigestion is to take after each maal
some harmless preparation of this kind composed of vegetable es
sences pure pepsin, golden seal and fruit salts, sold by druggists
under name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and these tablets taken
after meals assist digestion wonderfully because they will digest
the food promptly before it has time to ferment and sour, and the
weak stoma h relieved and assisted in this way soon becomes
strong and vigorous again.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are superior to any secret patent
medicines because you know what you are taking into your
stomach.
They are sold by druggists everywhere at 50c per package.

JAMES BURNS.
Ex-Collector of the Port of Kans, s City.
Os the men who have occupied positions o. public trust in
Kansas City, either by gift of the people or by appointment ; none
has a more enviable reputation for ability, honesty and efficiency
than James Burns, Collector of the Port of Kansas City under
Grover Cleveland. He lived the letter the maxim, “public office
is a public trust,” and when he retired he carried with him the
respect of everyone in the community —democrats and republi
cans alike 1
James Burns has used Stuart’s Dpspepsia Tablets and he
does not hesitate to say they have accomplished wonders.
“I suffered with dyspepsia for twenty years, ’ said Mr. Burns
yesterday. “Never knew what it was to enjoy life —in fact living
seemed a burden, as it does to all who suffer severely with dys
pepsia. A few months ago 1 began taking Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets. From the first I felt lelief, and now, allhough 1 am still
taking them, I feel entirely cured. For the first time in twenty
years I can eat anything 1 want and suffer no ill effects from it.
You can’t imagine the pleasure of this unless you have been a
dyspepsia sufferer.
“I never gave a testimonial for any medicine before, but 1
feel as if everybody ought to know of this remedy, ami while it is
personally distasteful to me to appear in print in this connection,
I feel as if I had no right to shirk the opportunity tc, perhaps
help some other sufferers from dyspepsia 1 have been recommend
ing the Tablets to all my friends. Only recently 1 took James H.
Lillis, the father of Father Lillis, down to get some, and 1 under
stand he also is being wonderfully benelitted. 1 can’t recommend
it too highly.”
