THE PRESIDENT Of the City Council, Wilkes barre, Pa., Cured of Rheumatism. Col. Win. T. Harvey, a president of I Wilkesbarre's city council, who will j long be remembered for his great work i for the city, was once a mere physical j wreck, torn in every muscle and nerve ! from the frightful pains caused by rheu matism. He consulted the b< st phy- ! sicians, went abroad, took mud baths, and almost every known treatment for the disease. One of the city officials had had a very similar experience and Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy had cured him, so he recommended this great kidney medicine to his friend,, and Col. Harvey is today a well man, hale and hearty. In liis own abrupt way he states his case: DR. DAVID KENNEDY, Dear Sir: —This to certify that 1 was permanently cured of rheuma tism by the use of Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy. WM. J. HARVEY. Nothing could be more direct or more to the point than this simple statement. Rheumatism is but another name for uric acir. D.Kwiiiuml v Corporat ion,Koiulout.N .

"A piano," said a dealer, "will some times develop or seem to develop a flaw fn some one note, which comes to liave a rattle or jingle or unpleasant burr to it, but this jarring sound which seems to come from the piano may in reality come from some source quite outside of it. "Any given note when struck pro duces a certain number of vibrations to the second. There may be in the room some object that is in tone sympathy with some particular note, and that will be set in motion by it when that note is sounded. "The owner of a fine piano sent to us one day to say that there was some thing wrong about a certain note of the instrument, so that that note had an unpleasant sound when struck. When 1 heard the note sounded, I knew at once that the disagreeable rough ness or buzz about it was due not to any defect in the piano, but to some thing somewhere about in the room, and, asking the lady to strike that note occasionally, I walked around the room to see if I could locate it. "Passing across the middle of the roon) as that note was struck, the cause of the jarring accompaniment of it was discovered to come from the vi bration of one of the glass globes on the chandelier overhead. "The owner of the piano was almost incredulous as to this, the sound had seemed so plainly to come from the piano itself. Hut when at my request she stood under the chandelier and 1 struck the note she was readily con vinced. "I made that globe immovable and then struck the note on the piano. The nnswer was dear and sweet and true. "So, you see, the sound of the piano may for one tiling depend much upon Its surroundings, and what may seem to be a defect in a piano may be in re ality attributable to something quite apart from the piano itself "And thus it might easily be that some noble Instrument that had seem ed to be declining or to be developing faults owed its apparent change to a change of environment or to some spe cific outside cause and was jn reality as good as ever, as would happily be discovered whenever the Instrument ■was again brought under favorable conditions."—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Boar* tbo st Kind You Have Always Bought | BURGLAR, i i MOTHER | | AND CHILD ; J By Charles Welsted 2 * 2 Cop i/right, 1903, By the S. S. McClurc Company. & 4 4. 4444444 4*4 4 <4 41; 4*4 4 444 4 The moon dipped behind a cloud just as the old fashioned street lamp was extinguished. Stealing down a dark alleyway, the side entrance to the Elms, a large private residence on Bou levard D, was a lone figure. It halted benentb one of the lower windows and remained in a crouching attitude for at least ten minutes. Then it stood erect, a figure not more than five feet three, slender and active. The window opened slowly, and the figure disap peared. Moving like some creeping thing from room to room, the burglar finally emerged into the hall and quiet ly ascended the stairs, but suddenly came to a halt before a door through which came a dim light. A child lay there alone. Through a second door, leading to an adjoining room, the burglar could discern the form of a woman, fully attired, asleep on a couch. It was a nurse. The burglar looked back at the child. "Sickness here, I guess; bad place for m}* work." lie stood intently watching the baby face resting on the snowy pillows. Then, lost in thought, he stole over to the cot. "O God!" A moan of anguish came from the burglar's lips. The little one stirred, and the burglar made a move toward the hall. "Want some wattee," murmured the child. The curly head rolled rest lessly. "Mamma, baby want d'ink." At the sound of a voice from the ad joining room the figure disappeared quickly beneath the bed. "Nursie's coming, dear." And the woman hurried to her charge. The hidden figure could have reached out and touched the hem of her dress. "Door little girl!" the nurse said soothingly. "Gladys want maiuma!" "Oh. mamma is asleep, dearie. Baby wouldn't wake mamma"— "Mamma, mamma!" pleaded the child. As if In answer, from down the hall a low, sweet voice called softly: "Mamma'svcoming. pet." In a moment a woman entered the room and crossed quickly to the bed sjde. Reaching over, she kissed the fe verish lips and forehead. "Mamma's here, darling." The little arms reached up and were clasped about her neck. "Gladys loves mam ma," whispered the child. "Mamma stay with baby?" "Yes, darling, mamma will sta}'." She folded the babe in her arms and hushed her to sleep. Then she crossed the room to where the nurse was sit ting in silence. They whispered together in low tones. The figure beneath the bed was eagerly straining to catch every word. "She is a little better, nurse, is she not?" the mother asked anxiously. "I think so. madam. This is the first time she has awakened since 8 o'clock. You had better rest while she is asleep." "I cannot bear to leave her. If that child were my own flesh and blood, I could not love her more. She was brought by the police to the Orphan Asylum of the Gray Nuns in Montreal one day when Mr. Rogers and I were visiting the institution. She has brought such happiness into our lives! The evenings we have spent at homo during the two years we have had Gladys have been more than all the rest of my life to me." Both sat in silence. Ten minutes passed, and the burglar beneath the bed was getting restless. The mother was speaking slowl3 T again, as if in | thought: j "I'oor little darling! The police say ' her mother was a wretched creature and the father a confirmed criminal, ft | brute of a man. Both were serving a : term in prison when we took baby. ; Think of it, nurse—a sweet, innocent j little tot like that from such parents! La Roche. 1 think their name was. They know nothing 'of the child's i whereabouts." I Tears glistened In the woman's eyes ! as she looked tenderly and yearningly | at the sleeping baby and left the room, i The nurse lingered a few moments !by the child's cot. Then she turned the light very low and stole back to the j adjoining room. Later heavy breath ing told the burglar beneath the sick ! child's bed that the household was I asleep once more, but for how long? I He crawled out stealthily, but dkl not hasten from the room. While yet 'in a kneeling posture, very gently he raised the child's tiny hands and kiss ed them passionately, then reached over and kissed the fevered forehead. A smile passed over the little one's face. The child was evidently dream ing. "Me loves mamma," she murmured in her sleep. A tear fell on the baby's curly head. "O God, what punishment!" With a look of unutterable anguish I the thief hastily slipped from the room and down to the stairway. Some one was ascending the stairs. The burglar ran to the nearest window and lire escape. There were a piercing scream and a crash. The man on the stairs startled, reached to his hip pocket, but Jill was silent again except for a low groan which rose from the court below. He hurried to the head of the stairs and peered out into the i darkness. The railing of the fire es cape was broken, but that was all he j could see. "Listen." said the doctor, who had just entered. "Some one is hurt." j "Burglars," whispered the other. "Be careful, doctor. Wait a moment, and I'll go down with you." The two men reached the court be low. Feeble groans cane from the an gle near the gateway. "Who's there?" asked the doctor. "Are you hurt? Strike a match, Mr. Rogers." On the eoueb in the library they stretched the unconscious form of the burglar. "He'll not get over this in a hurry, poor devil! Call up the hospital for an ambulance, Mr. Rogers." The man went to the phone, and the doctor turned on more light. Lifting the burglar's head, he looked closely into the face. "Whew!" he whistled. Then, as he heard Rogers returning, he lowered the lights. "I will go with this poor fellow to the hospital. I'd like to watch his case." In a few moments the clanging of a gong told of the arrival of the ambu "Tlie women are nervous. You had better stay with them," he said. "Tell them the fellow Is all right—anything not to excite them." "May. dear." said the husband next morning as his wife entered the break fast room after a visit to the sick chamber, ' how is Gladys?" "Much better. The temperature has fallen, and she will surely get well now." At the same hour the house surgeon on duty at St. John's hospital was look ing over an entry in the record book. It read: Gertrude Dressier, alias Mrs. Theodore La Roche, alias Ned Davis, criminal; killed by fall from the third story of the residence of James Rogers.

Make up your mind that the Creator made you to enjoy life and to have all the good things in this world neces sary to your well being and moral and spiritual growth. Think large things for yourself, for the all power ful ruler did not set for you tbe nar row limit which you have in mind. Limitation in thought will certainly produce limitation in possession. If you are convinced that you will never have much, that you are poor and will remain so, the chances are ten to one that you will. I low can you expect to expand your life, to enlarge your possessions, to widen your sphere, while you think and talk limitation? Enlarge your hori zon; be generous to yourself in thought and ambition. The creator never made people to limp along the starvation line; there are enough resources in the world to make everybody well, tny>py and contented. The great trouble with us is that we circumscribe ourselvel by thinking within narrow limits. "As u man thinketh in his heart, so is he."— Success. Otltl Wedding CnMonu. In Switzerland the bride on her wed ding day will permit no one. not even her parents, to kiss her upon tlie lips. In many of the provinces tlie cook pours hot water over tlie threshold aft er tlie bridal couple have gone in order to keep It warm for another bride. There is an old superstition in Ger many against May marriages. A favorite wedding day In Scotland is Dec. 31. so that the young couple can leave their old life with the old year and begin their married life with the new one; surely a pretty idea. The Italians permit no wedding gifts that are sharp or pointed, from which practice emanates our superstition that tlie gift of a knife severs friendship. One of the most beautiful of all mar riage customs is that of the bride, im mediately after the ceremony, flinging her bouquet among her maiden friends. She who catches it is supposed to be the next bride. Wigs In Courts. Before tbe reign of Charles 11. judges wore either a velvet cap. a three cor nered hat or a coif, but in 1000 the per iwig came over from France, and the grave aspect which it gave to an other wise commonplace face was appreci ated at once by judges and doctors, who immediately adopted It. The for mer have stuck to it ever since. Barristers, seeing how good was the effect of a wig, attempted to copy their seniors' example, but the Judges had no Idea of their copyright being in fringed and made tilings so unpleasant for their imitators that it was nearly half a century later before wigs were universally adopted in law courts.— London Globe. I'nrngiiuy Ten. Mate, or Paraguay tea, which is tlie favorite beverage among a population of some 20.000,000. grows wild in tlie woods of the southern half of South America. For many years its cultiva tion was a lost art. Although large plantations were planted by Jesuit missionaries more than a century ago, later attempts to raise the plant were fruitless, and not until recently have new plantations been established in Paraguay. The secret of cultivation, it is alleged, is that the seeds will not germinate until treated with a potas sium salt. The Whole Board. When tlie Rev. Dr. Newman Hall was In this country in 1807, he attend ed a meeting of the American board in Buffalo and was entertained by the ! Rev. Dr. Woleott Calkins and family, j afterward of Newton. Mass. Those were days when the coming of the board to a city or town created consid erable stir, and when Dr. Hall entered the house one of tlie children exclaim ed. "The board has come!" and early next morning a child's voice at his door kindly asked, "Will the board like some coffee?" HUMOR OF THE HOUR Was He Del f Old black Kate bad been absent from the Parkers' kitchen for some days in attendance on her sick husband, a Herbert Spencer looking individual, whom she never called by any more familiar title than "Mr. Tilman." One evening Mr. Parker went to see how the sick man was getting along. The unexpected sight of streamers of woe on the bell handle so confused him that when Kate herself opened the door he blunderingly asked: "How is Mr. Tilman, Kate?" Kate, always serious, was solemnity personified as she answered: "Mr. Tilman, sir, is laid out."—Lip pincott's Magazine. Not EUKIIIIP.
