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 aci<l poisoning which is caused pri
marily by diseased kidneys. Cure your
kidneys and the rheumatism disappears.
For all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep
sia and chronic constipation, as well as
sikuesses peculiar to women, Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is unques
tionably the greatest medicine known
to the medical profession.

THE SOUND OF A PIANO.
Seeming; Defect* That May I)e Often
Due to Ulterior Cnu.se*.
"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.

| BURGLAR, i
i MOTHER |
| AND CHILD ;

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:

Have No Limitations.
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."—

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.—

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?"

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?"
