Mrs. Pnnh Farrell. of 1019 Price street, Hyde Park, says: "I honestly helicvo if It had not been for Dean's Kidney rills I would have been In my Brave. Six years ago my kidneys be gan to trouble liie. At first, 1 did not pay much attention to it, but It kept getting woiso ,ind other symptoms ap peared. I tried many medicines, hut Without obtaining permanent relief. I Mils so bad that blood passed from me; my baek ached so that i could not KH tip r down; I was short of breath, and dually had to take to my bed. I was growing weaker and my suffering became more intense and the doctor said ho was doing all he could fur me. I often wished and prayed for death, for 1 had Riven up all hop' of getting relief. My dnughter had Dean's Kid ney Pills brought to her notice and got a box at Matthews I!rn.' drug store. 1 took them -ind the lirst bo:: did nit !" much (rood that she g.t me come more. After the fourlh box I thanked God that 1 hail found a r-med.v which lias Riven me a new lease of life. The Fantom Submitted in HE r Know mine was a dis tinguished one, because of Its traditional reputation. Jts location was in the north eastern pan of this, the Keystone state, at a village named Notnaros, near the LT Know cieek, from which it had taken its name. In the year IS, a man, who.se name was Patrick O'Brien, moved with his family, consisting of a wife and son,, to Nolniircs. Mr. O'Brien was a per son of average Intelligence, kind at heart and honest. Ills wife's character was made up of the same genial qual ities and, fortunately, having a sulll clent amount of "push" for both her self and husband. Patrick though, as I have said, was kind-hearted and honest; was, ino thlnks, prone to "grow weary in well doing," for ho frequently showed the most positive signs of an erring appe tite. He had one quality, or rather peculiarity, which I did not mention, nnd that was superstition; acquired from the aged "Legend Gatherer" of the Emerald Isle across the great At lantic? Or shall I ay from the village folk who sate at close of day in the little "burough" store and related the talcs of ghosts, descended from their departed ancestors to the "happy hunting grounds." Aye! If not one of the twain, pray from where? After completing all required ur langements for life in this village of Nntnnrcs, Patrick at once sought n Position In tho mines. The mine, super intendent, detecting signs of dissipa tion about his features assigned a tem porary situation of mule driving, until he should he counted worthy of pro motion. His lack of ambition for "keepln' In do middle of do road," how ever,' withhold from him tho pleasure of'iulvnneement for n year. During this time ho had a most thrilling experi ence. For tho second month of his work he was assigned tho unenvled duty of working nlKhts In a part of tho mlno where there was no other person or duty for two long hours. O'Brien hud not been serving long on "now time," when hn became acquaint ed with tho well-known veteran "Old Itusty," a white mulo having numer ous i. rust-colored spots on Ids once white' coat, It was believed that he hail served so long that rust had accumulated on his body; ho was accordingly known as "Old Busty." At all events he had lonir since reached tho state of being superannuated and had at several times heen convicted of ferocious ac tions. Ho was getting to ho a nuis ance because, of his great age, for ho maintained a gait which In no way could bo altered. Uut his days were numbered. Pat rick had become so enraged at Busty's snail gait that one night when he re fused to mend ha ways, the lash was npplied without u moment's delay. Pat Hogged for vll, until he was too much fatigued to even raise tho lash. Meu'uwhlle Ttusty did not hudgo a hulr, but "i"i commanded to "Git up there, LACKAWANNA AVENUE. Mr. William Morris, of ?,?,n Lacka wanna avenue, a member of the llrm of Morris Bros., one of the largest re tail hoot and shoe stores In the city, says: "t iitO Dean's Kidn?y nils, and you can put me down as saying that In my estimation they are a tlrst class remedy. They cured me com pletely of si dull, itching pain across my back and shoulders which had been giving me much trouble for the past year. 1 am not much of a hand at taking patent medicines, but in jus tice to the merit of Doan's Kidney T'llls feel it my duty to Rive them my endorsement, and I take pleasure In recommending Iheni to any one that I may hear complaining of backaeh"." Mtle of the U BY GEORQE MAY CURE. The Tribune's Short Story Contest. and mighty quick!" he obeyed, taking his own time. The "hurt" of those lash sti okes rolled down ills bade like water off a duck's feathers. As Patrick wended his way home ward the next morning he encountered the mine "boss" just going to the mines. Pat lost no time in telling, with all the eloquence that could be stirred In him from the expeilenco of the preceding night, about old Uusty's behavior. The boss, bidding Pat a good morning, told him that he would order the animal to be done away with when he reached tho mlno. This the boss ordered, as he had agreed to. Little Jim, employed at the barn, hearing this heartrending news from u miner who overheard the converso tliiu of the conspirators concerning Ills favorite pet mule, perched himself upon his "thinking stool" to contrive some scheme for the presei vatlon of the venerable beast so dour to his lit tle heait. The little "scheme wheels" revolved so quickly in Jim's head that he .alter meditating for one hundred and twenty s-oconjls, hud descended with nil speed from his "thinking stool," and was rapidly seeking the stall of his Rusty. Twenty minutes gone, Jim has com pleted his woik, Uusty standing in a deserted coal chamber and "Kicker White" In his stall, The boy Is stand ing .tgaln.it a prop chuckling over the joke, lie was none too quick, for a miner who generally disposed of "worn out" mules, appeared, iolng to Uusty's stall and untying tho halter of the mule therein, procei led o lead Mm forth Id the shooting block. Tho long wished for dentil of the aged beast was lit last iioeil about among the mule drivers, nnd nil was peace for thiee days. At the end of this time, however, the Important sec tion of tills legend begins. Oie tlu thlid and lust night of pros perity's reign Patrick went to his work as usual, although not In his usual mood. Ho had been drinking and was nol. us a miner said, "all there," The two hours of "no company" wcro to hint almost Intolerable when his mind was In such a condition. After spending nno of tho two hours alone ho wns startled by one of the strang est sounds he ever heard. He at once started to tho place from where tho noise seemed to come. On turning to proceed on his search a draft extin guished his safety lamp. He hurried ly felt In his pocket for his emergency lamp, hut, 'alas! he had left It In tho barn, where ho had tilled It, What would he do now? Not a match, eith er, and so dark, A trial for bravery, think you, with those awful noises In tho dark? A rumble beneath his feet, the earth contracted and he was hang ing between two rocks, wedged so tightly that ho could scarcely move. He tried moving his feet In order to llnd something to stand on, hut nil was in vulnj there was nothing be neath hut emptiness. Ho felt us though suspended In purgatory, and all tho demons of the universe seemed to ho tormenting him. Ho was denied the Facts. A lame back is a bnd back. A weak back is a bnd back. An aching back is a bad back, A bad back comes from sick kidneys. Sick kidneys cause backache, Backache is the first step. The first ache of kidney ills. Urinary troubles next. Disturb your night's rest. Annoy you all day. Dangerous Diabetes comes, Then Bright's Disease. The end is near then. NORTH MAIN AVENUE. Mr. A. L. Barnes, of 11,'! North Main avenue, engineer at the Scranton Kloc trle Lighting station, says: "X Injured my hook by a fall and it affected my kidneys. There were severe pains In the loins, accompanied with irregular ity of the secretions. They were hifih ly colored and contained sediment.

Where was he sinking to? His air voyage at this instant came quickly to an end by Ids landing on some rock. He was in an unconscious state for some time and was rallied by that identical noise which he had heard before falling. Ho listened. That sound again! In his ears? No; it really was a noise of something approaching, what he could not imagine. Tho fear, which had been somewhat alloyed by his curiosity, now took full control of him, lie did not wait for the appearance ot the "something" long. Almost bo j fore ho had time to breathe his face I was turned toward an aperture at t which an animal of-immense size was ! entering Pat was dumb with horror. j and. dosing his eyes for a brief mo ! men!, he uttered n prayer. On open ing his eyes tho form of what .seemed to be it dragon loomed up before his gaze. Its body seemed allumc unci, witli anger kindled In Its horrible eyes, it came to tho place where Put had fallen in his fear. The beast lowered Its massive head and, taking tho cloth ' lug of his prey between his fangs, , dragged him to the domain of Pluto, the rules of the Hades, shall I suy? Or will the reader bo patient while I , explain the mystery? The next morning tho boss on In liililng for Patrick was told that ho was nowhere to ho found. He there fore appointed several of the minors t begin a search for tho missing man, They searched In vain until a o'clock in tho afternoon, then one of tho searchers suggested that they look in j the deserted coal chamber. On gain lug the entrance they found Pat's ; safety lamp and Inside tho chamber i what olso?

MUNICH L!F A PHASE OP SOCIAL INTER COURSE IN BAVARIA. Reasons of Men and Women for Not Staying- nt Home Eormnlity in the Cafes The Rule of Dutch Treats. Enormous Consumption of Food nnd Beer Boor Garden Joys, Munich better in the N'cw Vmk Hun. When a Bavarian leaves the army, has a little money, and doesn't know or any other business to go Into, he opens a cafe or wirthschaft. There Is no surer business, for of till people of tho world Bavarians spend the most time in satisfying, or abusing, the Inner man. An example: A party of women met by appointment one afternoon at ;: o'clock In one of the largest cafes. They began with Vienna coffee and cake. Half an hour later they switched to pllsener beer, of which sev eral hail three half-liter glasses, and some of them more. At 5 o'clock their husbands came, and for dinner thcro wore turtle soup, lobster, roast chicken and fruits, washed down with Bur gundy and German champagne, Coffee again; then they went to the theater. After tho first act thny all had van illa Ico, served In their seats, After the second act they trooped up to the buffet and stowed away sundry pate do fole gras sandwiches, with more beer. At 10 o'clock they went to an other cafe, and for threo hours did nothing but eat and drink. First camo coffee, then, with hardly an Interval, pickled eel, cold ham and sausage, cream cheese and biscuit, dually, frozen Bavarian cream all with sev eral half-liters of beer. Last of all thcro wore big bumpers of hot punch, and then somebody suggested that It was time to go homo. There was an English girl In the party, and shu Is Just recovering; but tho German wo men looked upon 11 us an ordinary matter as it was. Not everybody In Munich does this, because everybody can't afford to. It is, however, tho usual thing to eat every time you think of It, if only u hunk of black bread and sausage, Tho work people have coffee and bread at 0 In tho morning boforo going to work, beer and bread In tho forenoon recess at 9 o'clock; beer, bread, soup, meat and a vegetable at noon; beer and bread again at tho a o'clock afternoon recess; beer, bread and cold sausage for supper, and beer, bread and cheeso in varying quantity up to bedtime. HOME LIFE UNKNOWN. There arc many reasons why cafe Ufa Is tho prevailing ono in Bavaria, for, outside of tho very well-to-do classes, there can bo said to he no home life at all. In tho first place fuel Is very dear, and tho Germans hnvo nut learned, as the French have, to make u handful of lire go a long way. By eating In restaurants and spending the leisure time there, fire for both cooking und heating Is ren dered unnecessary. Many Germans, or South Germans at leust, In com fortable clrctimstunces, have no lire In their homes from year's end to year's end. PILLS OPLE. SUMNER AVENUE. Mr. Frederick Davis, of 503 Sumner avenue, an engineer at the Lackawan na Iron and Steel Company, says: "For two years there was a gnawing pain across my back which bothered me at night more than any other time. I had to He In just such a position In order to take any comfort or enjoy my night's rest. If I was not careful in turning over sharp twinges would catch me in the back and disturb my rest so that I got up in the morning tired and with my hack so lame and sore I could hardly move about. The secretions from the kidneys were highly colored and contained sediment. One of the men at the works recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to me, saying they had helped his father when everything else hud failed. I went to Matthews Bros.' drug store and got two boxes. Grad ually the pain in my back commenced to leave me and when I had used two boxes It disappeared completely." Then again, the restaurant, buying In largo quantities. Is able to serve food almost as cheaply as it can bo cooked at homo. Thirdly, and this ap peals more forcibly, probably, to tho thrifty Bavarians, by making a cafe the social meeting place one preserves his independence and relieves himself of the necessity of playing the host. The German is a social animal, but he Is not an entertainer. It must bo re membered that the Dutch treat Is named, or misnamed, after tho Imme morial German custom of nn Invita tion to pay your own reckoning. Ordinarily, a housewife Is at homo to her friends from II to 1 o'clock at midday, but calls at that hour are purely formal. Most women belong to a small circle which meets dally In a favorite cafe, and there they dis cuss coffee and cake and people, No men are ever present. Tho male mem bers of the family, on tho other hand, go to another eaf and spend the time over blllards and t-ards. Speak ing by and large, everybody who can afford It Is in a c.tfo In the afternoon. The studerrs at tho university, who do nothing but drink and light duels In the first year of their course, seem to bo always In cafes. Being what they are, social rendez vouses, flic cafes tiro distinguished by an air of formality and extra polite ness. No person but an Englishman or un American over thinks of sitting down at a table without first Inquiring whthor or not the chair he selected Is disengaged, or without bowing gravely to each person already seated. Ho must bow again with tho same for mality when he gets up to leave. When two strangers start to play billiards together, eaeli first bows, then, draw ing himself up in a military attitude, utters fiercely his name, looking tho other straight in the eye. After that the Intercourse Is always friendly, hut punctiliously courteous, At tho end tho winner thanks tho loser and bogs to hold himself at disposal for fu ture play at any time. NO "TREATING." It is rigorously understood by every one that each Is to pay for his own score. If a German says to you, "Coino in and have a drink," It Is perfectly understood that tho invitation extends only to tho going In part. You would not Insult a Bavarian by offering to pay for his drink, but bis opinion of your common sense would bo shattered. Tho rulo Is so stringent ly observed that If two women and a man drink together tho man pnys fur himself and tho woman ho Is escorting only; the other woman Is expected to pay for herself, and always does. Each cafo supplies about ti hundred German and foreign newspapers and periodicals, and for tho price of a cup of coffee a man may spend tho whole day and evening, If ho ho so disposed, without being required, or expected, to buy more, Not ninny years ago the service in cafes throughout Germany and Aus tria was performed by waitresses, but Munich Is now tho only large city whore they aro general. Tho Munich kellneiin Is a remarkable young per son, in many ways. First of all, she is usually pretty, because her employers demand that. Then she must ho above tho average In sprlghtllness und intelli gence, because her function Is not only to servo drinks and food, but also to entertain the guests of the house. Si ho must ho able to draw to herself a cli entage, and to keep It. The kellneiin begins as a beer girl at the age of sixteen, Sho has nothing to do hut to carry water and beer tu More Pacts Don't pay to experiment. Kidney trouble is too serious. Delays are dangerous. Experiment means delay. Take a remedy that's endorsed: But get good endorsement. A stranger's word Isn't suffi cient. Hard to prove testimony from a distance. Take the word of people you know. Take the testimony of friends and neighbors. Easy to prove such evidence. Ask them about it. Local testimony is the best proof LUZERNE STREET. I " Itfrs. H. W. Williams, of 1403 Luzerna street, says: "I had a dull aching: pain all the time right In the small of my hack. There were times -when I waa quite comfortable, but If I did- any work to amount to anything" the ach ing began. I was always worse when I did washing, Ironing or heavy houso work. Every morning t waa stiff and lame when I got up, and It hurt ma to straighten after stooping. I got' Doan's Kidney Pills at Matthews Urns.' drug store? and used them regu larly. In a short tlmte I noticed an improvement and continuing the treat ment was soon entirely cured." guests, but at this she is occupied from 6 o'clock In the morning until midnight. She gets $t a month, food and lodging. Most of them drop out of the business within tho year, but if they stick their apprenticeship lasts eighteen months, when they become full-fledged kell norinen. From that time on their future depends largely upon themselves. A kcllnei'in works from 10 o'clock ona morning until 2 o'clock the next, with one day In every eight or ten to her self. She earns all the way from $30 ti $S0 a month, which Is extraordinarily high wages for a, woman in Germany. This conies entirely from tips, as she gets nothing from hor employer; on tho contrary, she often has to pay him a percentage of what she earns In order to keep her place. Tips run from a cent to twenty cents, but two and u. half cents Is the rule. Bather more than half of them, prob ably, within a couple of years marry men whoso station In life Is above their own. These men are mostly students at the university, and largely from country towns. They fall In love with, the girls and marry them upon gradu ation. By thut time the girls hnvo usually laid by a little money always necessary for tho bride In Germany and tho match Is looked upon by tho man's relatives with resignation If not with satisfaction. The nverago kellncrin Is a pretty, sprightly girl, dressed soberly In black, with a spotless apron and wonderfully dressed hair; she Is quick In action and In repartee, and In first-class cafes al ways eminently circumspect. Although Munich cafes arc always more or less crowded with a mixed as semblage, and although most Bavari ans drink more than Is good for them, disorder of any kind Is almost un known. Largely the satno class of people that frequent tho cafes go also to tho brew- cries. Each of the Munich breweries has a largo auditorium connected with It, In which hand concerts and other entertainments are given. It was In ono of these that Sousa played when hero. Hut ono sees at tho breweries also tho soldiers with their sweethearts, tho cooks nnd nursery maids. Life Is a little easier at the breweries, and ono may sit as most people Indeed do with his arm around the waist of his girl. At tho breweries nothing less than a liter Krug of beer Is sold, and It Is amazing how much of the cool, foaming stuff, fresh from the cellar, people get away with. Yet even hero there Is seldom an exhibition of boisterous drunkenness, But It Is In suinmcr, when tho gar dons of the town nnd the surrounding country aro open for business, that one ses tho real German life, illustrated In tho Fllegendo Blatter, which has charmed so many visitors, and which Is so Inadequately reflected In tho cafo life of winter. No Gorman will over remain within doors when It i pleas ant enough to ho out; and, being out, ho must have his beer and his music, and his sausugo and black bread, and his circle of friends. That Is all there ically is In tho summer garden exist ence, yet It is ono that,' having truly experienced, tho average man longs again to taste, And it Is only In much mallgued Bavaria, after all, that he may do so adequately. iTheno (Idt CJuuaulra ar. ri-ai iu 49 Bourn whmvi DconveDieure, ntieciiaua ftiDirj B.WMC beba ami :U Clpnajba, lilf.' d lnleclloufa.U.
