jxxji'le who "bounced" the asse-ssor will

they will j:it aliout double the rcr as-fa-ssors
lignres when they get down to
work. A keen assessor can 1 icate every
piano iu his district. If he doesn't hear
it, everybtxly else in the neighbrhiod
has, anil they toll him alout it. I ai-ked
a real nice looking lady the other day if
tiho had a piano, and she said "No. "

She replied: "I am apoorwidow. My

down her cheeks, and she sobbed as
though her heart would break. The as-t-ss.T
felt so mean that he sneaked out
without asking her name.
Even the parrots are down on assess

"That bad speaks very plainly," said
the writer.
"Just hear the dear fellow. He can
pay just as plainly as I can. I will

And the lady meant every word fche said.

Words What They Have
Looked For.
Do jrou know what it is to have back
that is never free from aches and constant
t)in a lame back, sore back, an aching
Lick, in fact, a back that makes your life
burden ? What have you done for it ?
And does it still keep you from the hap
piness that health brings to all? We
know full well if such is your condition
you are looking for "a sure thing," some
thing that will relieve the pain, remove
the cause and restore the system to the
condition designed by nature. Perhaps
this statement may assist you to finding
that sure thing. It comes from a Mc
Keesport citizen, Mr. Geo. W. Sherbine,
whose home is at 23 Shaw avenue. Mr.
Sberbine has this to say: "About three
years ago the small of my back was in
jured by a heavy wagon, aud ever since
that time I have felt miserable anel un
able to work. I would have such a dead,
drowsy sort of a feeling come over me
that would not wear otf. Thia was the
condition with which I was forced to face
a day's work, and after working ah-.le
I was hardly able to straighten up. Some
months ago I read about Doan's Kidney
Pills, and believing my kielneys were the
actual source of my trouble anel anxious
to try anything that might benefit me, I
went to the drug store of J. C. Smith and
got a box. Beginning their uc, the re
sult has been that I felt like a new man.
I can work all elay until I can hardly
walk home, and after my evening meals
I feel as fresh as ever. I rise in the morn
ing, refreshed from the night's rerst. with
no more of the former terrible feelings.
My hcartfe-it thauks are due to Do.in's
Kielney Tills, the finest reuie!y in the
world for the kielneys."
