It hunts out and drives from the system all the impurities that cause pain in the back, Stone in the Bladder, Bright'! Disease, Urinary Troubles, and dis eases of the Stomach and Liver. It acts at once. There is nb long waiting to see if it will help. "For years I suffered with my Kidneys," writes Thomas QuACKtttnusH, of Pittsfield, Mass. " The pain in my back was so severe at times that I was obliged to keep to my bed. I suffered awfully when parsing water, which was often discolored with blood. I tried almost everything in the shape of medicine, but nothing seemed to help me. One day I got a bottle of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and used it but a little while when It braced me right up. Jlr back became all right, no pain at all; my water cleared up and passed from me without pain, and I grew better In every way. I consider it a great medicine, as it has done wonders for me. My wife uses it for female complaint, and thinks it's the finest medicine in the world." Sample Eoitle Free.

Them He Was gab-Let to other l.ttt ennt at Proat. Of course Webster was In demand by those who could afford to pay for his services. A sharp Nantucket man Is said to have got the better of the great defender of the constitution In an amuplng way, however. He had a small case which was to be tried at Nantucket, one week In June, and he posted to Webster's office In . great haste. It was a contest with a neig'Abor over a matter of considerable local In terest, and his pride as a litigant was at stake. He told Webster the particu lars and asked what he would charge to conduct the case. , "Why," ssld Webster, "you can't af ford to hire me. I should have to stay down there the whole week and my fee would be more than the whole case Is worth. I couldn't go down there for less than $1,000. I could try every case on the docket as well as one, and It wouldn't cost any more, for one case would take my time for the entire week anyway." "All right, Mr. Webster," quickly responded the Nantucketer. "Here's your $1,000. Tou come down and I'll fix It so you can try every case." Webster was so amused over this proposition that he kept his word. He spent the entire week tn Nantucket, and appeared on one side or the other In every case that came up for a bear-lug- The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel Webster out to all his friends who were In litigation and received In return about $1,500, so that he got Webster's services for nothing and made a good profit to boot A SUPERNATURAL WONDER.

There was a mu sical clanking of iron as the hoofs of the outside horse struck a metal plate In the pavement. Then horses and car proceeded on their appointed way. "That's the way the old ones does ft," commented the driver. "They know what they're up to. But sometimes a green horse can't be made to take the switch as be should. He'll shy and dance around It, like It was a hole in a bridge, an' you've got to eddlcate him to It. "How do we learn him wot to do!

During this time she has shown herself diligent at the house door, fragal In work, mindful of herself, prompt Id excuses, friendly to ward men, faithful to her lovers and honest when everything waa out of the way," A Horsae Keeper Telia nf Start Bins? Ezverleaee. Orlwled old "Bill" Clark, the hesd morgue-keeper at 22 Adams street, Chicago, has been so many years en gaged In the care of the dead he al most feels more at home In their com pany than In that of the living, at whom he looks askance as a rule, but occasionally be will unbend Into so ciability and at such times will draw from the storehouse of his memory weird and ghastly experiences which cause the new bands at the morgue to open their eyes in wonder. No one, however, ventures at ahy time to express even a grain of unbe lief In any of the venerable morgue keeper's entire accuracy of recollection and truth of narrative. "Old Bill" was never known to tell a lie In all his Ufa and he cherishes his reputation for veracity as the very apple of bis eye. The other night he told a strange tale about the headless peregrinations of the body of Marie Orfgnovlts, which the police found floating In a box In the Chicago river just north of the forks. The corps was that of a girl of 10 or thereabouts and, though It was maimed and backed with knives, traces of Its unusual beauty remained perceptible to the most unobservant of the hun dreds who were attracted by the curios ity or duty to view the body. It was nude when found and the abnence of the head seemed to add aa Insuperable ob stacle to the difficulties of Identifica tion. Officials despaired and even the most ardent of new-fledged reporters butted their heads In vain against this stone wall of mystery. Everyone had given up hope and it bad been deter mined to inter the prior headless corpse next day when strangely enough, out of nowhere, unheralded and by a route unknown then and eq tally undiscov ered now, the head appeared at the morgue, exciting the wonder of all and the superstitious fears of thousands. "I never did know how that head came to rejoin Its body, and I don t suppose I ever will," said Clark, "but what I do know Is JuBt this- I was on guard at the old morgue fiat night. There might have been thre or four bodies on the slabs, I can't exactly say, one of them being, of course, this head less girl Qrignovits. There had been a good many visitors early, but after awhile things got quiet, midnight came on and I sort of made myself comfortable in a tilted chair and. with a bit of a pipe, and leaned back, think ing. It may be my eyes closed for Just a second or so, but, anyway, a quick rush of fresh air and the shutting of the door sent me on to my feet with a start. I glanced around quickly and ran to the door and looked out. No one was In sight and all would have been still except that I heard a bell tolling midnight. Then I stepped back In doors, feeling a bit queer, somehow turned up the lights and the first thing I saw was that the body of the headless girl was gone. The naked slab lay there before me, but Us late occupant had vanished as entirely as If she had become a spirit of air. Well, now, I needn't assure yon this took my breath away completely. All the time I knew the body hadn't been stolen or hadn't disappeared by natural means and this made me feel more peculiar than ever. There wasn't any telephones in those days -end I could do nothing by leaving the morgue, so I sat down in my chair again, feeling little shivery. I'd been there about a minute, I guess, when I felt the same peculiar rush of damp air over my legs and I knew the door was open again. Soft footsteps came toward me. didn't dare raise my eyes, but the tall of my glance fell on the floor and saw stalk past me the wet, naked feet of a woman. Then I sank'down in my chair and closed my eyes with my hands." The old man stopped and with great deliberation Oiled his pipe from a can vas sack. Well?" queried his youngest audi tor. Well," aald Clark, slowly, "Just then the sergeant came in and together we went over to where the bodies lay, Lying on the breast of the headless girl, with her two hands holding it, was the stony, startng-eyed head she had lost, with Its long yellow hair all dabbled In blood. The lips were parted and the white teeth were clenched up on a bit of parchment. It had red let ters on it, printed la English capitals, which said: " 'This Is the Head of Marie Grlgnovlti Traitor." And we never found out a sing! thing more about the matter," conclud ed Clark. Nor could we persuade him to add a word more to what he had said. all, Strange Connection of White Cat With IB Hnrgar,s Lira, "It's no secret that I've been in the penitentiary," said the old man. "It (was a white cat that took me there, and a white cat that saved me and made me a better man. I "One winter, a good many year ago, I was In Houston, sick and dead broke. ! An old pal of mine meeting me on the street took pity on me and soon helped me out of my troubles. But not for nnthlnff. As soon aa I recovered he wanted me to Join him In some bur-J glarles that he had planned. At first refused Indignantly, for I had some rough notions of honesty; but a little talkinghe was a fine talker and a few drinks did the work and I agreed go In with him. "Conscience makes cowards of til and I guess that was why Ed trembled like a leaf when he saw a white cat flash past us aa we stood shivering In the garden of a house on Harris street that night It was an easy matter to break In, and we soon had all there waa worth taking. In a little room at the end of the hall child was sleeping. The dim light of lamp showed the pretty cot, the fair flushed fare of a little girl, her golden air streaming over the snowy pillow. nd crouching by her side a white cat. hose pink eyes glittered like stars. We had to pass through this room, and could not for the life of me help bend- g down and touching that beautiful hair with my lips it looked so like the hair of my darling who died only the year before. It was her death that drove me to drink and trouble," and the old man wiped away a tear. Well, I don't know exactly how It happened, but the cat gave a terrific squall, and I had only just time to seize It and stuff It In my bag when bullet came whistling by my head. I got out of the house somehow, still carrying my bag of plunder, and ran down the road, out of town, finally tak ing refuge In an old barn. I was badly wounded, and, to make a long story short, they arrested me and took me to Jail. My partner was dead. "They told me afterwards that In my delirium I c'- A continually for the hite cat, and ,Mn they brought the nlmal Into my cell for they found It unhurt In my bag I nursed it and waa quiet. It was a strange fancy of a sick man, but It led me back to health. The tory was told at the house which we had robbed, and the little girl and her father came to see me. He waa a good man, and she was an angel God bless her for her innocent prattle and sweet eyes of pity. The penitentiary was a rough place In those days, and I believe I would have died In a few months If the child had not sent me a tiny white kitten, which I was allowed to keep. and It saved me from despair and death. Every time I looked at It I thought of the little angel that gave and of that other little angel my dead child and made a new resolve to be a better man. "Two frail atoms of life a kitten and a child but tbey were strong enough to raise me out of the very depths of hell." WAR Mneh In Little.

He had made money in Chinatown, Ban Francisco, but had devoted him' self to business so thoroughly that he remained totally Ignorant of English He came to New York determined to avoid his fellow-Chinamen, so that he might learn to speak English during bis six months stay In the metropolis, He took a room In an East Side house, paid promptly, made himself agreeable to his landlord, who allowed him to wait on customers In his little grocery store, and he never went near Pell or Mott street. After several months' residence In New York and many hours of study, the Chinaman ventured forth among his people, where he proceeded to give an exhibit tion of his proficiency In the English language. What he said sounded strange to the other Chinamen, and the ambitious one nearly swooned when he discovered that be had learned Ger man by mistake. His New York home was In the Ger man part of the city where English Is an unknown tongue, and the poor fel low had to begin bis linguistic work over again. Paper Floor In Uermany.
