ARMORY DEDICATION
IN HONESDALE
(Continued From Paco Two.)
tho Now York 8th for years both
In peace and In war time. Greeley,
had an excellent war record, but for
tho most part In tho cavalry. Bono
had been a soldier. Watts had
marched and fought In tho old Sixth
Corps, and Schoonmaker was also
among tho Vets. Some of the young
men had been to military schools.
The great trouble was that not one
oftho whole number " had quite for
gotten Hardee, nor quite learned
Upton," as Captain Wilson defined
tho situation. Nothing was more
common, nor can anything to a mil
itary eye look more singular, than to
see an officer trying to drill a squad,
and becoming hopelessly puzzled
over some simple movement, have to
pull out his pocket companion, Up
ton, refresh his memory, and start
anew.

Bentley was asked to enlist he at
first refused, but upon being urged,
he did so with tho understanding
that he was to be a private. Mr.

this; but when the election came,

Indigestion and Stomach
Quickly Ended.
If you went to thirty doctors and
paid each his fee for a prescription
for indigestion or stomach misery it
is ten chances to one you wouldn't
get such a good prescription as tho
ono from which MI-O-NA stomach
tablets are made.
How can such a thing be? you nat
urally ask.
Simply becauso the man who wrote
tho prescription from which MI-O-NA
tablets are mado knows more
about stomach diseases than 9C per
cent, of all tho physicians In Ameri
ca, and ho gets paid for knowing.
And when you can got a large box
of tablets made from this doctor's
prescription for only 50 cents, aro
you going to continue to suffer?
