GOOD NEWS. flany Emporium Readers Havs Heard It and Profited Thereby. "Good news travels fust.' and the thousands of bad back sufferers in Em poriurn are glad to learn that prompt re lief is within their leach. any a lime, weak and aching back is had no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Thous ands upon thousands of people are telling the good news of their experience with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an example worth reading: Mrs. Mary M. Finklur. 212 Monterey St., Ridgway, Pa., says:"For years, in fact, since childhood I was subject to at tacks of backacne and nothing seemed to help me. As time went by the trouble became more severe and often pains in my buck extended to the top of my head. 1 also suffered from other distressing symp toms of kidney complaint and when I arose in the morning I would feel miser able and languid. At last I tried Doan's Kidny Pills and found them to be the remedy I required. The kidneys were restored to their normal condition and the distressing symptoms of my trouble dis appeared. I have taken Doan's Kidney Pills on several occasions since and the results have been highly satisfactory." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

I called for a magazine editor the other day to take hiin out to luncheou. As he was getting gratefully into his coat a man entered. "'Do you read your magazine?' the man asked. " 'I do,' replied the editor. "'Have jon read the new number, the one that cnnie out yesterday?" " 'I have.' yi-u r-'nd my poem, "To <3a brielle," on page i 17?' " 'N-no.' " 'No! Well, in that poem I wrote the line, "I love you better than I love iny life."' "'A neat line—neat and well turned,' said the editor soothingly. " 'And "He of the professional humor ist.-! of ; mi- composing room set it u; to read, "I love you better than I love my wife.'" " 'Haw—-or'— "'Than my wife—precisely that. And my wife knows nothing of composing room comedy, and she thinks the line was printed exactly as I wrote it.'" China's Four Religions. China hits four state established re ligions, and in each the emperor exer cises sacerdotal functions. Twice a year !i> '.peror ns "son of heaven" worship i ■■!'' re the tablet of Shang Ti or s-nij !•( • heaven in accordance with the ancient imperial monotheism. Twice n ye.ir lie burns incense before the tab)", i;* his ancestors in accord ance v. Confucianism. Twice a year he : rliices to the gods of Tao ism ai d twice a year to the image of Buddha. The ancient and primitive religion of < "hina is monotheistic, but this direct worship was regarded as too sublime for the people, so that it became reserved for the emperor alone as the "son of heaven" and as priest of the nation. The people on their part worshiped their ancestors, and it was this ancestral religion which Con fucius identified himself with and re formed. The old superstitions rejected by Confucius were absorbed by Tao ism. which Is polytheistic and the re ligion of ihe populace. Then Bud dhism came Into China about 05 A. D. and, like the other "three religions, be came state supported and state en dowed. Squeezed the Squeezers. It is said that when Mr. Yerkes be gan to make money some of the banks from which he had borrowed thought to "squeeze" him by demanding In stant repayment or a large considera tion for further time. He was invited to call on one of these "bankers" and there met I lie others. Their demand was made, and their victim seemed at their mercy They did not, however, know the resourcefulness of Mr. Yerkes, who retaliated by remarking: "Well, I owe a lot to all the banks here, and I'll just publish a statement tomorrow in the papers, giving the full amounts and stating my inability to pay. This will make such a run on the banks that they will soon be as broke as I should, and therefore I shall not bo the only sufferer." The "squeezers" recognized tlie truth of (his and so withdrew their demand. Mr. Yerkes. however, refused to with draw his threat unless they lent him another >--">U,000. They did so. dtrvant uir.'s in Jefoe's [lay. It is .-vi lent from the <• anient be low, found in •"Gleanings After Time," that there is nothing new to be said on tile servant question: Defoe. t rsi of his time, fell loti) of the downward spread of fashion Ills theme was a familiar one the hcinousuess of a servant girl's attempt to Imitate her mistress' costume. "Her neat leathern shoes," Defoe's amusing indictment runs, "are now transformed into laced ones with high heels, her yarn stockings arc turned into the woolen ones with silk clocks, and her high wooden pattens are kick ed away for leathern clogs. She must have a hoop, too, as well as her mis tress, and her poor linsey woolsey pet ticoat Is changed Into a good silk one, four or five yards wide at the least. Not to carry the description further, in short, plain country Joan is now turned into a fine city madam, can drink tea. take snuff and carry herself as high as the best." Vivisecting Thieves. Breaking into houses where funerals have just taken place and plundering them is spoken of by the Berliner Tageblatt as a trick of"the thieves of that city While this may be a new form of criminality in Berlin, says the writer, it is really only an imitation of an incident described by Dion Cassius as having taken place 2,500 years be fore Christ. The historian says that when the consort of the emperor was laid away in the mausoleum at Memphis a band of Greek marauders entered the deserted palace of the pharaoh and took all the precious stones and metals and the women slaves and reached the banks of the lted sea with their plunder. Only two of the band were captured, and they were turned over by the ruler to the wise men, by whom they were vivi sected In the Interest of science. No matter how much the robbers of the modern houses of mourning may be despised, they need not fear that form of punishment. Tho Newsboy. Do you see the newsboy? You can hear the newsboy a long time before you can see him. What does the newsboy say? It doesn't matter what the newsboy says. You know he is the newsboy because he has the papers to prove it. What has the newsboy concealed in his hand? The newsboy has a cigarette butt in his band. He saw it smoking In the gutter and was afraid it would set fire to the street, so he picked it up. Good little newsboy, you will be a fire chief some day! Did ever you try a trick on the newsboy ? Give him a nickel some time for your paper and tell him to keep the change. Ten chances to one lie will do it. Does the newsboy never sleep? Oh, yes, the newsboy sleeps, but never on his job. I\ S.—Lots of people can learn some thing from tho newsboy.—Boston Her ald. Hungry Thespians. They looked like actors, or, rather, they looked as if they would have been actors if some manager with more than tlio usual discernment would rec ognize their ability and give them a jol>, says the Stroller in the Portland (Me.) Express. Just now they were staring through the window of a pop ular priced restaurant in Congress street, absorbed in the unerring accu racy of the chef as the griddlecalces were flipped into tho air by him, only to fall gracefully back into the grease mark they had just quitted. The tall man jingled some keys in his pocket, and the little one pulled his belt an other notch. "Lord!" said the big one. "I'm hun gry enough to eat my own words." "I'm in just as bad," complained the little one. "1 feel as though I could bolt a front door." Animals and Electricity. Man has much greater power of electrical resistance or much less sus ceptibility than many other animals. A leech placed upon a copper plate which rests upon a larger plate of zinc is unable to crawl off on account of the feeble electric action excited by the contact of the metals. Horses are troubled by slight differences of potential. An ox treated for rheuma tism with electricity succumbed to a current absolutely inoffensive toman. Exactly. Little Mrs. Hunter had heard so many jokes about the brides who couldn't market successfully that she made tip her mind that the first re quest she made of the marketman would show her to be a sophisticated housewife. "Send me. please," she said, "two French chops and one hun dred green peas." The Timidity. Her Mother—Mabel, dear, do >ou ever feel timid about asking your hus band for money? The Bride—No, indeed, mamma, but lie seems to be rather timid about giv ing it to me.—Exchange. Pretty Thin. "Thin!" repeated the man who was talking about a mutual acquaintance "Well, he's so thin that when he cats macaroni lie can only swallow it one piece at a time!" Ths Fun of It. Mother—Did you enjoy your i. • cream s< da. Dickie? Dickie— Yes. ma; there were seven other boys iookln' through the window at me. What is not necessary is dear at a penny.—Cato. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1909. Too Woll Done. Mrs. Ellphatet Howe of Centervllle had never encountered "Ilamlct" ei ther In the pursuit of literature or on the stage up to the time of her first visit to her Boston niece. On that oc casion she was taken by the niece and her husband to see a performance of the play. "How did you like it. Aunt Jane?" asked her ncphew-in-law as he piloted the old lady up (he aisle hy her elbow when the performance was over. "If that's what you call a 'play,' I call it hard work," said Aunt Jane in dignantly. "IIow" you and Nettie can sit calm in your seats and see such heartless doings is beyond me. Why, that Hamlet man looked so sick I shouldn't have been surprised if he hadn't lived to linish out his talking. And by the expression of those other folks I'll venture to say they felt the same.
