Despondeecu Due to Indigestion.
It is not at all surprising that persons
•who have indigestion become discourag
ed and despondent. Here are a few
words of hope and cheer for them by
Mrs. Blanche Bowers. Indiana. Pa.:
‘‘For years my digestion wus so poor
that 1 could only eat the lightest foods
I tried everything that I heard of to get
relief, but not until about a year ago
when I saw Chamberlain’s Tab’ets ad- i
vertisod and got a bottle of them, did I
liud the right tr at inert. 1 soon began
to improve, and since taking a few bot
tles of them my digestion is line. For
sale by all dealers. adv.
An Old Man.
Micajah Weiss, t heoldest pension
er in the Uuitpd States, died a
short time ago at his home m Bea
ver Brook, Sullivan couuty, New
York, of infirmities incident to
his advanced years. He wap
114 y^ars of age and probably
the oldest mau in Now York. He
was born at Danoiug Creek, Mon
roe couuty, Pennsylvania, and was
one of a family of nine children.
The early part of his life was spent
along the Deleware river in lumber
ing and farming. For fifty-five
years he was a resident of Beaver
Brook, where he carried on an ex
tensive lumber business. In his
rafts-days he would frequently
walk back from Trenton to Beaver
Br.ook, more than 100 miles, long
before railroads were constructed.
He has been known to drive a four
horse load of venison down Dele
ware to Trenton. In August, 1862,
Mr. Weiss enlisted in a regiment of
Pennsylvania volunteer infantry
and served until the close of
the war in 1865 Mr. Weiss was
not a teetotaler, takiug a glass of
wine or other stimulant wbeu he
thought he needed it. \\ hen he
returned from the fiftieth anniver
sary of the battle of Gettysburg in
July, 1913, he stopped off in New
Yoric City and visited the late
General Dame! E. Sickels.

ARE GIVEN A TEST
Missile Found to be a VaU
uable Addition to Coast
Defense.
New York, Nov. *20.—Tests of a
new illuminated shell, tired from
big guns, were conducted last night
at Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook,

luu.ioating feature, the gunners
were able to correct their sighting
on tho next shots. Lighted balloons
and lighted floating targets, repre
senting aeroplanes and war vessels
respectively, were tired upon from
the fort. The new shell is similar
to other shells, except that when it
is tired a gas tlwne is ignited in iho
rear, and this burns while the mis
sile is (lying through tho air.
