Your Heart
May Be Weak. One
Person in Four Has
a WeaK Heart.
One of the surest signs of a -weak
heart is shortness of breath after exercise.
■ Tour heart is not able to pump the

Some of the other symptoms of Heart
Trouble are: Pains in the Side, f'nck
Mhd Shoulder; Fainting or Yveak Spoils;
Dry Cough; Swelling of Feet anti Ankles;
Cold Feet or Hands.
No one can afford to allow a weak
heart to go without medicine, because
weak heart means poor circulation, and
poor circulation means weak lungs,
Btoraach, liver, kidneys, etc.
If, therefore, you suspect heart trouble,
begin taking Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure.

l splendid tonic for the blood and nerves,
uid will revitalize your entire system.
Finally, remember, Dr. Miles’ New
Heart Cure Is sold under a guarantee

"I was afflicted with heart trouble for

vhere, nor under what conditions I
vould be attacked, and whether I would
mrvlve them. I consulted and was
reated by some of the most eminent
shysiciana of the state. Not finding re
let from this source, I began taking
Tr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and began

vhich entirely cured me, as I have not

COZY HOME FOR TRAMPS.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans a
Comfortable Keiuge for
the Aged.
—
Hans Ablebanson, the wealthiest
tramp in Amerioa, who several years
ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, at the expense of a western rail
road magnate, as a result of a wager
that Hans could not walk from Tacoma
to Panama in eight months, is to build
a home for aged tramps. Hans recent
ly received $25,000 by the will of a rel
ative who died in Sweden, and the money
is now said to be drawing interest in a
New York bank.
Hans recently disclosed his intention
to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor
cester, Mass. The other day Johnson
was in New York, and, while talking
about Hans’ project, said:
“It sounds like the dream of a crazy
man, but Hans declares that he will
build the tramps’ home with his money. !
He says that he will build bis homo j
somewhere in New England. I asked
him why he didn’t take his money and
settle down and he said it is much more
fun to be a tramp.
“He said that the only thing he wanted
to get out of his money is a home to live
ia when he gets too old to cateh freights,
so long as he had to build himself abome,
he declared that he might as well build
one large anotigh for 25 or 20 of his
friends. He told me that he knew 5,000
tramps on the road in the United States.
Some of these friends of his, he ex
plained, are getting old and stiff and
cannot tramp much longer.
"He plans to put all of his money in
this home for his friends. After it is
built, he argues that by a little work,
such as broom making or mending chairs
or something of that kind, the 25 tramps
who reside within can pay running ex
penses. When I asked him how soon he
is going to build this home he said that
he is looking for a suitable place, and
that as soon as he finds one he will take
his money out of the bank and build.”
MAKE ALBUM FOR THE POPE
Magnificent Volume to Be Sent by
Children of New Orleans
Parish to Pius X.
The exquisite album which is to be
presented to his holiness, the pope, by |
the Children of Mary, of the Jesuit I
church, of New Orleans, has been J
finally completed and will be borne to!
his holiness along with the magnifi
cent pontifical sandals, by Mr. Kelly,
on the occasion of the golden jubilee
of the Immaculate conception.
The album is a work of art and a
thing of beauty. It is bound in
snow white antique silk, and the cor
ners and clasps are of pure gold
Near the left-hand lower corner of
the cover is the pope’s crest, whil<
across the upper part of the cover is
the word “Autographs" in gold letters.
The album contains 50 pages. On
tne right-hand side of each is some
original poem, composed by members
of the sodality, aud written in either:
English, Latin or Italian. These j
pages are exquisitely illuminated, aft- j
er the manner of the middle ages, and
the decorations on no two are alike.
On the opposite side of the pages there
is nothing except some modest deco
ration. All the work was done by
hand by members of the sodality, ex
cept the chasing, which was done by
Walter, the colleee ieweler.
On the presentation page of the
album are the words: “To Our Most
Holy Father Pius X., Children of
Mary, Jesuits’ Church, New Orleans.
La., 1904.” On the title page of the
album are the words: "Golden Ju
bilee of the Immaculate Conception,
1854-1904."
The album represented three months’
work.
NEW HOTEL IS A PALACE.
Hostelry in New York City Built and
Furnished Without Re
gard to Cost.
The Hotel St. Regis, another new
world palace planned to shelter vagrant
multimillionaires, has opened its doors
in New York city. John Jacob Astor is
the owner of the new hotel and R. M.
Haan is proprietor. The 18 stories are
furnished with a splendor unprece
dented. The corridors are of marble and
the walls are hung with silks that vary
In price from $7 to $15 a yard, and the
metal fittings in the bathrooms are of
solid silver.
The table linen came from Belfast,
the heavy embroidered bed linen from
Dresden, the china from the Royal
Worcester and Minton factories, and the
carpets were woven In France from spe
cial designs to suit every apartment.
There Is a library of 2,150 volumes for
the patrons. There are devices for reg
ulating the heat by which any temper
ature desired may be attained. Cool
air also may be introduced. Clocks are
on every mantel, run from a magnetic
clock in the office, and pantries are on
every floor in which breakfasts are pre
pared.
The state suite excels in magnificence
any of the other apartments. It con
sists of a dining-room in Circassian
walnut, wainscoted to the ceiling, dec
orated with Bilver, bronxe ornaments,
formerly the property of the king of
Sicily. Prices range from seven dollars
a day for room and bath to $125 a day
for the state suite.
The hotel, exclusive of furniture, cost
$4,000,000. The furniture cost another
$1,500,000.
Wouldn’t That Petrify You!
At Knaresborough castle, in York
shire, England, Is a dropping well. In

the experiment
NEED ALL-ROUND EDUCATION
Desire for Physical Development
Comes to Parents Slowly—The
Views of One Mother.
It is a curious fact that the desire for
physical development for their children
comes to many parents more slowly than
that for intellectual development, says
Youth’s Companion. It is pretty well
acknowledged now by everybody—from
the illiterate immigrant to the “poor
white”—that “book-learning" is a good
thing for the children. But the schools
in England meet the same opposition as
those in America when they try to put
the development of muscle on the same
basis as that of memory. Many a school
principal has listened to protests sub
stantially like that of the good woman
who carried her view s of education to ]
the grammar school-teacher:
“I want ye to teach me girl readin’,
writln', and ’rithmetic,” said she, “but
she ain’t t’ larn anny more of this .
physical torture. If it’s jumpin’ she
needs, I c’n teach her jumpin’ meself!" i
Presently we shall make good our re- J
turn to the Greek system, which in
cluded music and gymnastics as essen
tials to education, and so produced a
wonderfully balanced creature—with
body, mind and spirit in such due pro
portion that no one could overtop the
other. The professional athlete, the
puny scholar and the religious fecluse
are each the result of the separation of
one department of education from the
others. The symmetrical man is the re
sult of the well-considered union of all
the departments.
INCUBATOR ON DESERT.
Birds in Vast Wastes Cool Their Eggs
Instead of Giving Them
Warmth.
Many a person who has watched a
mother robin nestling patiently on her l
eggs in a blossoming apple tree has
wondered how the little creature or her I
ancestors ever learned that the long i
process would cause the eggs to hatch i
A greater puzzle is set for them, says
the author of “The Land of Little Rain,” !
in the great desert, where the same birds
have learned to cool their eggs instead
of warming them. In the unsheltered
nests of the sandy plains it becomes nec
essary to keep the eggs from cooking,
□ne hot, stifling spring in the Little An
telope, a traveler had occasion to pass
and repass the nest of a pair of meadow
larks located unhappily in the shade of a
very slender weed. The birds were never
sitting except at night, but at midday
they stood or drooped above the nest,
half- fainting, with pitifully parted bills,
spreading their wings between the sun
and the eggs. Sometimes both of them
together, with wings spread and half
lifted, maintained a spot of shade in a
terrific temperature. Their patience
was in this case rewarded, for the com
passionate traveler at last spared them
x bit of canvas, which she mounted over
the nest as a permanent shelter.
JAP COMPANY FOR ARMY.
Majority of Sandwich Islanders Hail ;
from Ear East—Are Organizing
Militia Command.
It may not be generally known that
the United States army of the future j
will include a command of Japauese
soldiers, but this is a fact, claims the •
New York Herald. They will not come
from the armies which are fighting in
the far east, but will be enrolled from j
our Japanese citizens in the Sandwich
islands. It is needless to say that a
very large portion of the population of !
rh a iolonHc nnH /iononlQlIv r\ f Unnnlllln
is composed of this nation. They are
found among the bankers, merchants
and professional men. and are included
among the wealthiest residents of the
city. One of the principal schools of
Honolulu is attended exclusively by
Japanese children, and here has been
inrolled a command of cadets which is
to be mustered into the United States
militia as soon as its members are old
enough. It is drilled by a former Japan
ese army officer, and although organ
ized but a few years ago, this battalion
ias already attained a high standard of
efficiency. It is frequently seen on
parade in Honolulu and attracts much
ittention.
“SMART SET” AT RAT PITS
Fashionable Society Women at French
Resort Enjoy Revolting
Spectacles.
The latest attraction for the “smart
set” at Aix-les-Bains, France, is a rat pit
where fashionable foreigners gather on
Sunday afternoons to witness rat and
log fights. At a recent fight the grand
stand facing the ring was packed with
screaming women, who seemed to
-evel in the proceedings. Inside the
wired ring was a man who let out so
nany rats for each dog. Some of the
rats were already so feeble that they
:ould scarcely crawl, and had to be kicked
toward the dopthat killed them. Scores
rats were left half dead, and lay
writhing, while the well-dressed sight
seers shrieked with excitement. H. V.
3arnett, an Englishman, who was pres
ent, ventured to protest against the cru
slty of the affair, and was promptly
urned out by the police.
Mountain Air to Blame.
A new gues* arrived at a New Ham
shire farmhouse where a Boston gentle
man happened to be holding forth on
the piazza, says the Rochester Herald.
The newcomer was much impressed by
the speaker’s fluency. “I declare,” he
remarked to the landlord, “that man has
an extensive vocabulary, hasn’t he?”
The landlord was mightily pleased.
"That’s so,” he said. “That’s what
mountain air will do for a man. He
ain’t been boardin’ with me but two
weeks, and I know he must have let his
a aistbamd out much as four times.”

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founds"
tion of its great musical worth, tiie cause of its popularity witli artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all donut
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voiee, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a i>erfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to eell the Kimball at a very moderate price, vitality eeaaidtred
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
