Allmentnl dyspepsia Is due, as a rule, to imposing on the stomach food It Is unable to digest. In exactly similar way mental dyspepsia may be induced. Hooks furnish the food for the mind. If we grab up every book we come aciosH and bolt its contents like trav elers in a railroad eating house, there is going to bo trouble about digesting what we have read. And if we persist in the practice, our minds will finally balk ut even attempting the process of dlge3ton. our memories will refuse to hold the most prominent features. Wo may develop an abnormal appetite for more books Just ns allmentnl dyspep tics often crave and hunger for food hut no growth will follow our devour ing them. Our minds will be nourished about as are the bodies of allmental sufferers. Of course. It will not show in exactly the same way. The literary dyspeptic may be physically fat, even to obesity, but he will be lean and spare to emaciation in inoiiBuis nnu ldeai. And in another respect the two forms of dyspepsia are alike, points out the Kansas City Times.

Tho sufferer from a disordered stomach almost Invariably craves ilch cake?, confectionery, can dled citron and puddings and pie O, especially a ureat deal of that! And the literary dyspeptic wonts his non sensical romances, his lopsided mock history, his distorted and impossible rclontlllc marvels, hln cook and bull heroics. He wants, In a word, nothing but literary pie and cake and lolll pops. And literary dyspepsia has spread over tlie whole country like a blight. People ought to ho afraid, but they show no sign of It. Publishers and makers of many books keep on pand ering to tho diseased appetites and no one Interferon And whoever eoulcl In terfere?

Great Pawnbroking Sale now going on at Davldow llros DESPERATE CHARACTER DEAD "Big Foot" Wallace Acquired Name , Guarding tho Texas Frontier. From tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat. William Alexander Anderson Wal lace, known far and wide as "Rig Foot" Wallace, died at his home near Devine, Texas, this morning, the result of an attack of pneumonia of about one week's duration. Ho was born iu 1817. near Lexington, Rockbridge county, Vii. He came of revolutionary stock, his ancestors having served In Wash lngton'H army. The name of "illg Foot" Wallace has been a household word in Texas for more than sixty years. The school histories of this state havo made his name familiar to several gen erations. He lived In camp for more than half a century, during which time he wns always recognized as a faithful guardian of the frontier. He was une of the famous prisoners of Mler, and fortunate enough to draw a white bean at the Hacienda Saladu, where Santa Anna had ordered every tenth man to bo shot. He was the most courageous and desperate of all that desperate band of Spartan Texans who dally challenged their guards to mortal combat. Though at the time surrounded by an army, far from home, this masterful martial spirit whispered to his comrades that he saw u rav of hope. The next instant the Texans gave a yell and with no othtr weapons than their hands, rushed upon a com pany of Mexican cavalry left to guard them and unhorsed them to a man. In the gloomy dungeon of Peiote it took seven giant Mexicans to throw him to the earth and bind him. After he had lain fifteen days, chained hand and foot, face downwind, to a rock, without food or water, when the throngs were cut and the rivets forced apart, his first act was to spring at one of his tormentors und try to throttle him. His entire life was filled with deeds and Incidents' of such danger and galluntry that it is almost beyond the comprehension o- man lo realize that so much of excitement and danger could enter into a single life. Of late years he had been leading a quiet, re tired existence, his chief delight being to recount the scenes of earlier years. He never married. Of so distinguished a character wete his services that the ftate legislature years ago made ample provision for his supott.
