DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases are too Dangerous '
for Emporium People to Neglect.
The great danger ot kidney troubles
is that thev get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache, head
ache, nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, dia- j
betes and Bright's disease tollow a merci
less suacession. Don't neglect your kid
neys. Cure the kidneys with the cer
tain and sate remedy. Doan s Kidney
Pills, which has cured people right here
in Emporium.
Mrs. William Swartz, living on Maple
Street, Emporium, Pa., says: " 1 suffer
ed tor a long time with dull nagging
backaches and pains through my loins, so
severe at times that I could hardly attend
to my work. Every move I made caused
me severe pain. I was unab'e to rest at.
night and in the morning would be worn
out and tired. My kidneys were very
active and the secretions caused me much
annoyance and crnbarrasement. 1 used
many remedies but was unable to obtain
relief until a friend advised me to use
Doan s Kidney Pills. 1 procured this
remedy from L Taggart, the druggist,
and used them in accordance with direc
tions. The backache aud pains quickly
vanished, the kidneys were strengthened
aud my general health was improved. I
am indeed grateful to Doan s Kidney
Pills for the «reat benefit received from
iheir use and heartily recommend them
to kidney sufferers."'

Prof. H. A. Howell, of Havana, Cuba,
Recommends Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
"As long ago as I can remember my
mother was a faithful user and 112 riend of
Chamberlain s Cough Remedy, but never

until now, writes Prof. IJ. A. Howell
of Howell's American School, Havana,

«>ld, the next day was worse and the fol
lowing his condition was desperate.
He could not lie down and it was neces

ment. Even then his breathing was dif
ficult. I did not think he would live un

mother's remedy, Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which we gave, and it afforded
prompt relief and now, three days later,

A Le.-aon In Grammar,
In a ceiinin nv tintnlnous reprlon the
teachers arc a]>p< inted with little quo-;-
tion concerning Mm r gnunuiitti' , ul
orthodoxy. Oecnsl ally, however, a
•wave of school ref< i sweeps through
the valleys, and 11 sired examina
tions are thrust upon u.iharrasseil ped
agogues.
It was during one of these periods of
intellectual discomfort that the follow
ing sentence was given: "The bird
flew over the house." Accompanying
it was tin' query, "Is Mlew' a regular
»r an irregular verb?"
One teacher after another shook his
head hopelessly despite the slow,
thought inspiring fashion in which the
examiner repeated the perplexing fact
that "The bird flew over the
liouse."
Finally a man rose in the rear, and,
with the assurance of one who puts
his trust in logic and a practical knowl
edge of natural history, he volunteered
a solution. Said he:
"If that bird which tlew over the
house was a wild goose, it went in a
straight, regular line, so the verb Is
regular. Hut if it was a peckwood
that flew over the house, then it went
in a crooked, zigzag line, and so the
verb is irregular."
All but the grammar bound exam
iner were satisfied with this sensible
and rational explanation. Youth's
Companion.
Artistic Slips.
It is a frequent matter of lamenta
tion on the part of artists that one of
their number may spend genius and
time on a* piece of work, only to fall
conspicuously in small detail.
There is a story that one Royal acade
mician gave a hand live lingers and a
thumb ami that another painted a live
lobster bright red.
The clever Goodall had been engaged
in painting a number of laborers drag
ging a huge stone across the desert
when a man of science entering the
studio said to him: "I say, Goodall, if
you want those fellows to pull that
stone you must double their number.
It would require just twice as many
for the task."
But it is not modern painters alone
who slip up on points of accuracy.
Even Albrecht Durer in a scene repre
senting Peter denying Christ painted
one of the lioman soldiers in the act of
smoking. Turner put a rainbow be
side the sun, and in another picture he
got fearfully tangled in the ship's rig
gin g.—Ch icago Kecord-Herald.
Fixing a Photografter.
Senator Stone of Missouri once made
himself unpopular with a certain pho
tographer. The latter Individual ap
peared at the senator's room at the
capitol and announced that he was
there to take a picture. Stone expostu
lated, but in vain. A few days later
the photographer again appeared and
presented the pictures and also a bill
for £lO. Itetpembcring how hopeless
was his argument against having the
picture taken. Senator Stone decided It
would be still more useless for him to
decline to pay for them. So he wrote a
check, After the man's name was on
the check he wrote the word "Photo
grafter."
When the man presented the check
at the senate disbursing office for pay
ment, he was required to indorse the
check and write after his name, just
as it was wriit u on the face of the
check, the word "Photo-grafter."—St.

A Limit to His Power.
A curious historical anecdote is hand
ed down from tlie time of .Tames I.
James, being in want of £20,000, ap
plied to the corporation for a loan. The
corporation refused. The king Insist
ed. "But, sire, you cannot compel us,"
said the lord mayor. "No," exclaim
ed James, "but I'll ruin you and the
city forever. I'll remove my courts of
law, my court itself and my parlia
ment to Winchester or to Oxford and
make a desert of Westminster, and
then think what will become of you!"
"May it please your majesty," replied
the lord mayor, "you are at liberty to
remove yourself and your courts to
wherever you please; but, sire, there
will always be one consolation to the
merchants of London—your majesty
cannot take the Thames along with
you!"

Will it be Knox?
WASH [,\O'ION, March 2 —"The
little town of Brownsville in my
state has produced two of the
country's great statesmen," re
marked Congressman E. F. Ache
son, of the Twenty-Fourth, Penn
sylvania district, to-day. "1 re
fer to James G. Blaine and Senator
Philander C. Knox," he continu
ed. Blaine spent his boyhood
days at Brownsville, attended
Washington and Jefferson College
and after his graduation went to
Kentucky to teach school. While
in Kentucky, he wrote a series of
letters on the slavery question,
which were printed in a Washing
ton, Pennsylvania, newspaper.
Some of his observations regard
ing slavery and its political effects
were prophetic. Although he was
living in another state at the time
of his great public service, Penn
sylvania always claimed him as
her own and lie was the idol of our
people. Senator Knox also spent
his boyhood days at Brownsville.
He worked in a bank and earned
the money to pay his expenses at
college. He attended Mount Un
ion college at Alliance, Ohio, grad
uating from that institution in
1872. Now the people of Pennsyl
vania are demanding his election
to the presidency as they formerly
demanded the election of Mr.
Blaine. In our state one hears no
talk of a second choice. We are
for Senator Knox and we believe
he will be nominated and elected.
Where can the country find a man
who will carry out President
Roosevelt's policies with so much
vigor and ability as Senator Knox?
President Roosevelt has repeatedlv
stated that Senator Knox when
Attorney General rendered him
greater assistance in the enforce
ment of his anti-corporation poli
cies than any other man. It was
Mr. Knox who brought about the
dissolution of the Northern Securi
ties merger as everybody knows.
That he is one of the great lawyers
of the country was clearly shown
in the prosecution of the merger
case. His work as President
Roosevelt's Attorney General
makes him the logical successor of
the President- The people are be
ginning to realize this and his
friends are now confident that the
Chicago convention will elect him
as the Republican standard bearer
in 1908. Will he win? There is
not the slightest doubt of it. Sena
tor Knox is involved in 110 faction
al differences and there is absolute
ly no reason why auy man who be
lieves in the Roosevelt policies
should not support him with en
thusiasm. His candidacy is re
ceiving support in all sections of
the country and the following he
will have in the Chicago conven
tion will prove surprising to the
other candidates. James Buchan
nan was the last President sup
plied by Pennsylvania. This year
we have as our candidate a man
who would make one of the great
chief executives this country has
ever had."
