One of the worst features of kidney trouble is that it is an insidious disease and before the victim realizes his danger he may haye a fatal malady.

Sl Se Another Setback for Cigarette Stinkers. Notices have been issued by Presi- dent Callery and General Superintend- ent Murphy. of the Pitisburgh Rail ways Company, to all employes, that effective April 20, the following order will be enforced: For the beticrment of the service and the safety of the public, it will be the policy of this company to not re- tain in its employ men who use intoxi- cating liquors or cigarets, or who are in the habit of gambling. While it i the privilege of each individual to eat, drink and smoke what he pleases, it becomes the duty of this management to have in theservice only men of sober and temperate habits, physically and mentally able to perform the duties to which they may be assigned. Ee Cost of the Primaries. The winter primaries under the new law cost about $1,000,000, bills for which have been presented to the state for payment. These primaries were not general. There were many coun- ties where the nominations were made under the old system. If the winter primaries under such circumstances cost 8o much, the June primaries, which will be held in every district in the state, will involve the expenditure of from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000.—Norris- town Daily Register. New Carriers Not to Dismount. In a decision rendered at Washing- ton, recently, Fourth Assistant Post- master General De Graw insists upon an adherence to the regulations re- quiring that boxes on rural mail routes shall be erected by the roadside so that carriers can easily obtain access to them without deviating from their routes or dismounting from the ve- hicles. Failure to comply with the regulations in this respect, the de- cision states, is likely to result in the discontinuance of delivery of mail by rural carrier. ee tee: Wanted to Make it Worth While. A passer-by was amazed at seeing an Irishman poking a dollar bill through a crack in a board walk. “What under the sun are you doing that for?” he asked. “Why, y’ see,” replied the Irishman witbout looking up from his work, “a minute ago Oi dhropped a nickle thro shig crack, an now Oi’m puttin’ a dollar shrough, so’s to make it wort me while to pull up th’ walk an’ get th’ nickel.” Sarah, The Fire Lassie “You see,” sald Billy earnestly, “I am half past six now, and that's most grown up; anyway it's enough to take care of Katherine.” : “I'm half past four,” said Kathe- rine from the doll cormer, ‘‘and, be- sides, I'll be good.” “I'll take her outdoors, and we'll play with the Flying Dutchman. It's easier not to have things happen out- doors,” continued Billy. “I don’t know,” sald mother. “They are likely to happen any- where: but I must go to the dentist. It is very inconvenient to have the toothache while Bridget is away on her vacation. I wish some one would move into the little house across the alley. I used to be able to get some one there once in a while to look af- ter you children.” “We’ll be good, mother,” sald Billy, and mother hurried away, with a prayer in her heart that nothing would happen, and Katherine and Billy went outdoors. Nothing at all happened at first, except that Billy and Katherine were a little better than usual. And while ————d The girl [48 ped with delight] they were getting the Flying Dutch- man ready, they saw that some one had moved in the house across the alley, for a tall, thin girl stood in the doorway, holding a long thin baty. “There!’ said Billy. ‘*There’s some one to look after us. Mother needn’t have worried; we’ll ask her over.” The girl watched the Flying Dutchman with wistful interest. It was a clothes basket car, that slid de:ightfully over a slack cable wire. and Billy and his father had made it. The girl gasped with delight when it came gliding smoothly toward her, and she turned her baby brother around, so he could see it too. “How d’ye do?” said Billy. “Would you like to come over and ride?” > The tall thin girl gasped again, this time with joy. “Mother's downtown,’”’ Billy went on, ‘‘and she’d feel better if she knew you were there. I'll telephone her pretty soon.” Wonderful was her joy in flying through space. Bill, who was short an: fat, sat on the ground trying to — —— —— : 1 Jah Y hat tht Woon Sarah’s flight from behind the long baby, who was no doubt quite uncomfortable, but only grunted a little and stared at Katherine, who was adoringly trying to amuse him. But on her return trip Sarah's heart gave a great thump of fear, for, as she shot past a rear window of the house, she saw smoke coming out, and a tiny tongue of fire danc- ing inside. It was lucky that Sarah had been used to doing hard things all her life. She climbed out of the car quickly, very pale, but perfectly aware of what she must do, and took Sammy away from Billy. “You sit right down on the grass, and hold him,” she told the delight- ed Katherfne. “Come on,” she said to Billy, “your house is afire. Is there a garden hose?” Billy nodded. His heart had sud- denly come up in his mouth, so he couldn’t speak; but he obeyed orders like a soldier. They got out the hose, and drag- ged it to the hydrant and screwed it on, then Billy turned on the water, while Sarah carried the nozzle end through the porch, and opened the door of the store closet, where Brid- get had left her oiled rags that had started the fire. In a few minutes it was all over, and Billy went to the telephone. “Five-three-naught-seven!’” he call- ed. Then: “Is mother there, doc- tor?’ he asked. ‘‘Tell her the house was afire in the storeroom, but me and another awful nice girl, with a baby, who's moved in across the alley, put it out, and nothing else at all has happened. Good-by.” “A man is the most sensible of all animals, is he not?” “Certainly.” “Then I wonder why he doesn’t wedr a loose, comfortable collar liko & dog's.”"—Journal Amusant. In These Days.
