DIDN'T TAKE THE HOLE But That Was Probably Because the Court Said They Shouldn't An amusing instance of legia! sharp practice is set forth in the annals of Westerly, R. I. It occurred a hundred years ago, when, it seems lawyers were quite as adroit at quibbling as certain of their successors are to-day. A farmer of broken fortunes hired for cultivation a piece otf land, agree ing to pay for the use thereof with a certain proportion of the crop. Ho planted potatoes and had an unusual degree of success. Being witthout a storeroom, he obtained the consent of a neighboring landholder and deposited his jhare of the potatoes in What farm ers call a potato hole —'that is, an ex cavation in the earth in which the po tatoes are placed and covered with earth and straw in the form of a pyra mid. Shortly afterward he had occasion to go to Connecticut, and one of his cred itors seized Che opportunity to attach the potato hole. Upon this another creditor bestirred himself and consulted 1 a lawyer as to what could be done to secure his claim. The attorney was equal to the occasion. He secured the issuing of a second writ, by which an attachment was lev ied upon the potatoes in the potato hole, the documents specific illy setting forth that the potato hole should be loft upon the land where it was found. Tlie warrant was promptly served, and when the first creditor aippearal upon the scene he found the potato hole, "but not the potatoes.—Case and Comment.

PUT STOMACH IN FINE CONDITION Says Indigestion Results From An Excess of Hydrochloric Add Undigested food delayed in the stoiriach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a anted authority. He aißo tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydro chloric acid in the stomach which pre vents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten Bours in the stomach much like garbage sonrs in a can, forming acrid fluids and gnses which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gM, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and furthermore, to con tinue this for a week. While relief fol lows the first dose, it is Important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of granes and lemon .juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent results.—Adv. GEORGIA BLOODHOUNDS Keen Scent Enables Them to Perform Almost Incredible Feats Whwt the Georgia bloodhound can do seems aJnrost incredible. A convict sleeping in one bunk of a hundred, shod ami clad precisely as the hundred convicts about him, may 6>lip his chain and flee. Ten miles away he may meet his fedlow prisoners again, miay run t« and from among them or walk with them a mile and leave them. Six hours after these bounds, put on his track where he slipped the camp, will follow him to where he met his gang, will tread his track in and about with hundreds of tracks, take it up where he leaves them and run him down though he cross convict gangs every mile he runs. This escaping convict, clad in stripes cut from the same bolt with a hundred others, may run through the woods, touching weeds and bushes as he runs: Fifty other convicts may run through the same woods in every direction. The dogs will hold his scent, running full tilt, breast high. If he makes a curve of forty-five degrees the dogs will not run the line, but will catch his scent thirty yards away and across the angle, though it were filled with the convicts who had eaten and slept with the fugitive. Often a dog will carry a scent in a gaiiop, running parallel thirty yards to | the windward.
