TEN YEARS OF PAIN. Unable to Do Even Housework Bee cause of Kidney Troubles. "Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clin- ton St., Napoleon, O., says: ‘For fifteen years I was a great sufferer from kidney trou- bles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting pains. My eyesight * was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and 1 had dizzy spells. For ten years I could not do housework, and for two years did not get out of the house. The kidney secretions were irregular, and doctors were not help- ing me. Doan’s Kidney Pills brought me quick relief, and finally cured me. They saved my life.” Sold by all dealers. Foster-M{lburn Co., 50 cents a box. Buffalo, N. Y. The Careful While enjoying a pleasant smoke in a railway carriage a Scotchman was asked by his fellow passenger, a Welshman, if he would oblige him with a match, and after some consid- eration reluctantly complied with the modest “reghest. Placing the match upon the window ledge, the Welsh- man produced an empty pipe, and, gripping it between his teeth, gazed mournfully at his companion. This having no effect. he made an osten- tatious and fruitless tour of his pock- ets. “Dear, dears~how . unlucky I am!” he exclaimed at length. “I've left my tobacco at home.” “Verry unfortunate.” agreed the Scotehiman, and. stretching out a hand for the match. he added with evident relief, “An now vell no require this ‘ves- tie!” '- =O Times.

Fasters have gone without food for many days at a time, but no one can go without sleep. ‘‘For a long time 1 Lave not been sleeping well, often lying awake for two or three hours during the night, but now I sleep sound every night and wake up re- freshed and vigorous,” says a Calif. woman. “Do you know why? It’s because I used to drink coffee, but I finally cut it out and began using Postum.j» Twice since then I have drank coffee, and both times I passed a sleepless night, and so I am doubly convinced coffee caused the trouble and Postum removed it. “My brother was in the habit off drinking coffee three times a day. He was troubled with sour stomach, and I would often notice him getting soda from the can to relieve the dis- tress in his stomach; lately .hardly a day passed without a dose of soda for relief. “Finally he tried a cup of Postum and liked it so well he gave up coffee, znd since then has been drinking Pos- tum in {ts place, and says he has not once been troubled with sour stom- ach.” Even after this lady's experience with coffee her brother did not sus- pect for a time that coffee was caus- ing his sour stomach, but easily proved fit.

Parker has amassed much wealth, and he lives comfortably and happily on his ranch in western Okla- homa. He was. one of the admiring throng which greeted President Roose: velt when, two years ago, the chief executive went wolf hunting with Ce J:yen and Sloan Simpson in Burnett's “Big Pasture,” which is in Oxlahoma, just above the Red River. At Frederick, where Mr. Roosevelt and his party left the train and mounted horses for the ride to the pasture some miles distant, a stand had been erccted in the main street of the village, and of course the President had to make a speech. Parker was presented before the President ascended the platform, but his name did not impress itself on Mr. Roosevelt's mind. In the course of his brief address the President, refer- ring to the progress of the Territory, spoke of what the Indians had done. “Their ‘achievements have been re- markable,” he said. “Now, there is my friend over there, Chief,—Chief—, well, I won't attempt to pronounce his name.” . The crowd laughed, and even the un cmotional Parker, who sat on his horse close to the stand, permitted his stolid features to relax into a grin. The President assumed that the name was typically Indian, and -therefore dif- ficult of pronunciation, whereas, as a matter of fact, it has considerably more of the flavor of Anglicism, and is spoken with greater ease, than the President's own.— Washington Herald A Puzzling Indian is. not es, A Free Canary.

A jollv game for a party of young people may ve called a Civil Service Examination, where tests are made of the sizht, hearing, and sense of taste and smell of the various contestants. The hostess needs to make ready be- forehand plenty of strips of paper and pencils and stage properties, which consist of three tables, covered with articles to be used in the contest, and appropriate uniforms for the judges and policemen. On one table there should be a doz- en articles in bottles that will test the sense of smell, such as kerosene, cinnamon, cloves, nutmsg. iemon, pep- permint, rosewater, quince, ammonia (be sure and have it greatly diluted), and other liquids or solids that you can readily think up. On the table that is devoted to taste tests there may he salg, pepper, sugar, baked beans, cheese, brown bread, peppermint candy, etc., while on the third table make a collection of hetero- geneous objects, such as a key, book, coin, pencil, thimble, etc, that the contestant in walking by can take in at a glance. This to test not only the keenness of sigat, but quickness of ob- servation. All these tables should be covered until ready for exhibition. The fourth test, for acuteness of hear- ing, may be tried by different voices and animal imitations. After the party has assembled the judges may be chosen by lot, the po- lice appointed by the ‘judges, then the remainder of the party sent from the room, to be escorted in one by one by the officers of the law. There should te three of these, one to preserve or- der among nose left “out” waiting their turn as he goes in for examina- tion before the judges. For the tests in tasting and smelling the contest- ants are blindfolded, the eatables being handed them by_ the oficers.. For the test in sight they are marched quickly by the table con- taining the varied articles that they are expected to memorize at a glance. For the ear test they are seated while various snatches of music, song, con- versation, etc., are given for their benefit. After the eontestants are escorted back into “the ante-room each is fur- nished with a pencil and four strips of paper, on which he must record his impressions. These are all gathered up afterward, and presented to the judges, who give the examination and pass judgment accordingly. There should be a prize for each who makes the best gecord in the various tests and a consolation prize for those who show themselves to be the most defi- cient in either test. —Philadeiphia Batl- letin. _e The Salvation Army is established countries aad colonies and preaches the gospel in 31 languages. bottles orf _who COWBOYS" TOBACCO. ited States Laws Play Havoc With the Weird Mixture, The United States pure fecod law has played havoc with tobacco smoking ia Texas. The life-long habits of the cowboys have been revolutionized by an innocent looking little "panyphlet issued recently by the government. It contains the analysis of various prod- uets that are in general use, and among them a popular brand of smok- ing tobacco, which comes in little sacks, and is papules throughout the Southwest. When “Jim” Belford came in {rom his ranch to get his mail the other day, he found this pampiet in his postoffice box, says a.Uvade (Tex.) cor- respondent of “The Kansas City Star.” It had been sent to him by his old friend, Major “More” Harris, of San Antonio, revenue collector for the district. Un Ma- jor Harris had written upon the front leaf of the pamphlet: i “This will tell you stuff we have been smoking.” Belford took the pamphlet over to the store and glanced through it while his order for ranch supplies was being filled. Under the heading of tobacco which was smoked by al- most every man in this region its an- alysis was given as follows: Tobacco, 27 percent; alfalfa, 63 perceut; arsenic, 6 percen:; opium, 1 percent; fluid, 3 percent. Could it be true smoking alfalfa—to arsenic and opium? alysis over a ‘second arose and walked over where the storekeeper up the goods he had bought. “Bill, put me up about three pounds of alfalfa, mixed with arsenic and onium and a little tobacco thrown in,” he ordered. eH ment. “What's the matter of you, Jim?

The imputation that he did not know what was contained in his stock of goods angered Jennings, and the outcome miziht have silted some- what seriously had the argument been pursued much lcnger. “I want you to read this document,” Belford said. “It's from Washington and is offeiak” 7 Jennings read the ang announced forthwith that he did not believe a word of it. It took Bel- ford some little time to convince him that the analysis had been officially made and must be correct. “What am I going to do with all the stuff 1 have on hand?” inquired Jeu- nings. that he had been say nothing of He read the an- time.

They were the very picture of contentment as they poured the wreaths of smcke their mouths. Belford rode up in front of them aud cilently looked them over for a min- ute. Should he break the news to them? Would it not be hest to let them continue in ignorance cof the kind of stuff they were smcking?
