Terrible Kidney Trouble Cured After
Phyaiciane Gave Up Hope.
Mrs. Gertrude Wilson, 642 Beckley
Bt., Camden, N. J., says:"l became so
t bloated I could not
button my dress. My
head ached terribly
and I was so dizzy I
had to grasp some
thing to keep from
falling. A retention
of kidney secretions
set in and I often
went 48 hours with
out a passage. Three
physicians treated me but I gradually
grew worse. As a last resort I began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills and when
I had used seven boxes, I was a well
woman. I have had no return of kid
ney trouble during the past three
years."

Circumstantial Evidence.
A Scotchman and his wife were vis
iting In a wild, beautiful part of the
country. While driving one day with
their host, the two men sitting to
gether in the front seat while the lady
sat behind, they crossed a high bridge
which spanned a roaring torrent. An
unusually loud splash caught the gen
tlemen's attention for a moment, but
nothing was said. After several miles
the gentleman turned to address s>
remark to his wife, but her seat wan
empty.
"Aye," he remarked to his host,
"that will be ypn splash we heard." —

"Yes, dear," replied John with a

wish they'd bathe in something be

be less romantic, but it would be a

I For the Hostess \
A Hobby Luncheon.
A college girl described this affair
to me, and I saw its possibilities even
for those not in the hey-dey of youth,
for who of us hasn't some hobby
which we ride, either fast or slow, and
In some instances "it" rides us. The
guests were eight girls, all students
at the same university, a.nd all "next"
to each other's whims and fancies.
The centerpiece was a small hobby
horse ridden by a dolly dressed In
cap and gown. At each place were
small hobby horses with the name
cards attached by ribbons in the class
colors. No names were written, but
all found their places by the clever
drawing in pen and ink on the cards.
For instance, the girl with musical
ambitions found herself "Ten years
hence with a hand organ and a
monkey grinding out 'Home, Sweet
Home.'" The stout girl (she called
herself plump) was represented rolling
down hill with the words, "I have lost
one-eighth of a pound;" the maiden
who was to he a teacher (in her own
mind), was depicted as a fashionable
society woman playing bridge; and the
golf-girl found herself with Cupid peer
ing out of her bag and the words, "A
clever stroke" underneath. When all
were seated the hostess asked each
one to explain w r hy her hobby was
commendable, and she told them to
look under their place plates, and
there they found quaintly worded in
vitations asking them to meet her ten
years from date and see how the
hobby horses had been ridden. If im
possible to be present, letters were to
be sent to be read aloud. At the fin
ish all joined hands and aang "Auld
Lang Syne."
Around-the-World Tea.
A young ladles' Mission band got
np the following very successful tea.
A house represented each of these
eight countries and several automo
biles conveyed the guests to and fro:
Greece, Italy, Germany, Russia, Eng
land, America. France and Japan.
A five-minute paper about each coun
try, with music, furnished amusement
and the attendants were in costume.
Flags of the country made the decora
tion with whatever characteristic ar
ticle obtainable. A very small admis
sion fee was collected by tho courier
as guests entered the auto and small
tees were charged for refreshments,
which were peculiar to the country as
the menu shows: Greece, olives;
Italy, spaghetti; Germany, kaffe kuch
en; Japan, meshi (rice); France, vin
di rouge (red punch); Kussia, caviar
canapes; England, plum pudding;
America, pie.
With good committees this scheme
may be enlarged upon and a most in
teresting entertainment evolved.
A New Word-Making Game.
A hostess entertaining in honor of
i visiting guest passed cards bearing
the last name of her friend. The com
pany was told to make as many words
from the letters composing the naw«
.its they could in twenty minutes. A
prize was awarded for the longest and
shortest lists. This proved a very
pleasant introduction and served as

Proposal
On a Fan
Lisette's grandfather was taking her
back to Honolulu, after she had fin
ished her course in a fashionable San
Francisco boarding school. Lisette
had been an apt pupil in conforming
with American fashions. Her grandfa
ther hoped devotedly the first time
he saw his transformed little Honolulu
lady that she had derived as much
from the text-books as evidently she
had imbibed from the style journals.
Jimniie spied Lisette as soon as the
steamer left port. Anxious to become
acquainted with her, he followed the
couple on deck.
"We are especially fortunate," the
old gentleman was saying. "Never
have I been on a smoother sailing ves
sel. You wouldn't know we were mov
ing. The waves aren't even nervous."
"Pardon me." broke in Jimmy. "We
haven't started yet."
His inimitable smile must have
been contagious for Lisette smiled
back at him with the most beautiful
smile that commenced in her great
candid eyes and rippled all over her
face. From that minute Jimmy was
her devoted admirer.
Everyone called the lad "Jimmy,"
old and young were soon under the
fascination of the big fellow with the
round, over-grown baby face.
"Jimmy shadows that pretty little
Honolulu girl all over the deck," said
the captain's wife.
"Yes, and that old grandfather shad
ows them both. Just as soon as he's
comfortably seated in his steamer
chair, engrossed in some novel, he
spies his granddaughter with Jimmy,
and lie's off after them."
"Jimmy came from the same town
as we do," continued the captain's
wife, and through some influence se
cured the appointment of paymaster
in the navy; that smile must have
been a birthday present to him, as I've
rarely seen him without it except
when he scowls resentfully at Lisette's
grandfather."
Each day ripened the friendship be
tween Jimmy and I.isette. The old
man was nearly frantic; he grew thin
and wore an habitual strained, worried
look, afraid to leave them out of his
sight for a moment, he could be seen
hobbling up and down the deck all
day long.
The time drew near when I.isette
was to land. All smiles had left their
faces. Jimmie was togo on and to
goon meant a separation for months.
They bade each other good-by, but
not a word of love or endearment had
escaped Jimmie's lips.
"I'd rather die," he said to himself,
"than ask a girl to starve on my in
come. If ever I'm promoted, then me
for Honolulu."
"Please forward my fan." wrote Lis
ette to the captain's wife, "and have
some friends on board write their
names on it as a memento of the glo
rious days on the ship."
"What are you doing?" asked Jim
mie as he noticed a young man scrawl
ing his name on a fan covered with
hieroglyphics.
"He's writing his name on your
charming Honolulu friend's fan," ex
plained a young woman standing near
by. "You're the next on the list. Last
the best of all.''
"Give it to me; I'll send it to her,"
said Jimmie, raging with jealousy.
When the fan was in his possession
he scratched out all the names and
in the small space left, wrote:
"Darling, what do you want with
all those names when you can have
mine for keeps? Received notice of
my promotion this morning.—Jimmie
Horton."
Jimmie was again his smiling self
when he received a message from
Lisette saying: "I'd rather have your
name than any other tinder the sun.
Grandfather is furious."
Rattlesnakes That Swim.
There is one curious thing that the
O. C. has noticed 011 the Wlnniplseo
gess islands —the smaller islands —
which are situated say a mile or so
from the mainland—the presence of
mice and once in a while a rat. Now,
the question is, how do these pests
get from the mainland to the islands.
Swim? One old cottager says that he
has a theory that perhaps the parent
rates, or mice, come in luggage, like
packing boxes, that convey the goods
of settlers on the islands. Still, it is
possible that they swim from the
mainland. The O. C. once told the
story that rattlesnakes now and then
swam from Rattlesnake island to the
mainland shore. Nearly everybody
has laughed at the editor for making
that statement. Well, if you don't be
lieve it, ask Professor Thyng. the
teacher of drawing in the Manchester
public schools, who owns a piece of
land on the Gilford shore, or did own
a lot there. He will tell you that
rattlesnakes swimming across the lake
are not a myth by any means.—Man
chester Union.
Profusion of Butterflies.
A curious phenomenon, attributed
to the abnormally hot summer, is be
ing observed at Rouen, France, in
the form of an invasion of butterflies.
At night wonderful scenes are wit
nessed when the beautiful insects, of
all sizes and colors, swarm in thou
sands round two powerful arc lamps
which light the square near the Pont
Corneile. The air in the vicinity of
the square is so thick with butterflies
that from a distance the spectacle re
■fetnbles a heavy snowstorm.
I SEEMS EASIER TO REMEMBER
j Remarks of Writer in Cleveland Plain
Dealer Appear to Contain
Much Sense.
There is a new science called mne
monics, which is trying to get itself
introduced into our public schools. We
have no knock on this science—only it
seems to us to be a roundabout way
of arriving at facts that you ought to
| remember right off the bat. It ap
' pears to work something in this man
i ner:
"When was Lincoln born?" asks the
teacher.
"I—l f-f-forget," whines the pupil.
"Naturally you do. Go at it right.
How many Muses are there in mythol
ogy?"
"Nine."
"Right. Now double that number.**
"Twice-nine's-eighteen."
"Right again. Multiply it by 100."
"1800."
"Good. Add the number of Muses
to that."
"1809."
"Ahal That's when Lincoln was
born. Why don't you learn the scien
tific way of getting at these things?"
As we said in the first place, it's a
noble science, but we'd rather remem
ber dates. —Cleveland Plain Healer.
RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
ITCHED SO HE COULD
NOT SLEEP
"On July 27,1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
\ tor who gave us medicine for him.
"My trouble started with a pimple on
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. It
| irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
it developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
"When we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
! and climate, and gave more medicine.
: The rash got no better, and it used to
I itch and burn at night so bad that the
; child could not sleep. He was com
; pletely covered with it at different
times. It was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
I cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
, about nine months the places disap
peared. There are not any scars, or
| other kind of disfigurement, and baby
1 is completely cured by the Cuticura
! Soap and Ointment. We have had no
further trouble with baby's skin. Noth
ing stopped the itching, and allowed
baby to sleep but Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment." (Signed) Mrs.
i Margaret Gunn, 29 Burrell St., Rox
