i .r . r X. Health for Everybody ! When the Kidney, IViadrlcr and Urinary Organs nre In healthy state, a person is practically disease-proof. Sick ness can hardly find a foothold when those organs are well and strong. The Kidneys sift and strain from the blood poisonous and waste matter. hen they n are weak and diseased, the poisonous particles do not pass off, but remain In the system. They catse pain in the small of the back. Stone In the Bladder, and Briht's Disease. It l'j easy to tell if yonr Kidneys are disordered. Tut some urino in a bottle or glass for S4 hours. If there is a sediment, you have Kidney disease. Other signs are a desire to urinate often, particularly at night, nd a smarting, scalding sensation in passing water. Nothing Is o good for curing diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder and Urinary Organs as Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, that grand medicine which has been before the public for ovef 30 years. It should be taken without delay by men and' women who have any of the above symptoms, as the disease is apt to prove fatal if ot attended to. From the Convent of the Good Shepherd, Troy, N. Y., comes this short but pointed endorsement, signed by the sisters of that famed and pious institution: " We have used Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy for Kidney trouble, and have found it very efficacious."

I NO one, however, Tentures at any time to express even a grain of unbe lief In any of the venerable morgue keeper'B entire accuracy of recollection and truth of narrative. "Old Bill" wag never known to tell a He In all his life and he cherishes his reputation for veracity as the very apple of his eye. The other night he fold a strange tnle about the headless peregrinations of the body of Marie Orlgnovlti, 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 18 or thereabouts and, though It was maimed and hacked with knives, traces of Its unusual beauty remained perceptible to the moBt unobservant of the hun dreds who were attracted by the curios ity or duty to view the body. Hwasnude when found and the absence of the head seemed to add ao 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 had been deter mined to Inter the poor headless corpse next day when strangely enough, out of nowhere, unheralded and by a route unknown then and eq laily undiscov ered now, the head appeared at the morgue, exciting the wonder of all and the superstitious fears ol thousands. "I never did know how that head came to rejoin Its body, and I don't suppose I ever will," said Olark, "but what I do know Is Just this' I was on guard at the old morgue t.iat night. There might have been Hire or four bodies on the slabs, I can't exi-cily say, one of them being, of course, tl.is head less girl Grlgnovltz. 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 Its late occupant had vanished as entirely as If she had become a spirit of air. "Well, now, I needn't assure you 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 and I could do nothing by leaving the morgue, so Bat down in my chair again, feeling a little Blilvery. 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. I didn't dare raise my eyes, but the tail of my glance fell on the floor and I saw stalk past me the wet, naked feet of a woman. Then I Bank down In my chair and closed my eyes with my hands." The old man stopped and with great deliberation filled his pipe from a can vas sack. "Well?" queried his youngest audi tor. "Well," said Clark, slowly, "JuBt 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, staring-eyed head she had loBt, with Its long yellow hair all dabbled In bipod. The lips were parted and the white teeth were clenched up on a bit of parchment. It had red let ters on it, printed in English capitals. which said: 'This Is the Head of Marie Grlgnovltx Traitor.' "And we never found out a single thing more about the matter," conclud ed Clark. 'Nor could we persuade him to add a word more to what be had said. Mark In Little.

The dim light of a lamp showed the pretty cot, the fair flushed face of a little girl, her golden hair streaming over the snowy pillow, and crouching by her Bide a white cat, whose pink eyes glittered like stars. We had to pass through thlB room, and 1 could not for the life of me help bend ing 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 a 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 o.- -I continually for the white cat, and f..!n they brought the animal Into my i:ell for they found it unhurt In my bag I nursed it and was quiet. It was a strange fancy of a sick man, but It led me back to health. The story was told at the house which we had robbed, and the little girl and her father came to see me. He was 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 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 1 thought oli the little angel that gave it, and of that other little angel my dead child and made a new resolve to be a better man.

Of course Webster was In demand by thoBe 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 amusing way, however. He had a email case which was to be tried at Nnntucket, one week In June, end he posted to Webster's office In great haste. It was a contest with a neighbor 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," said 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. Vou 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 In Nantucket, ond appeared on one side or the other In every case that came up for a hear ing. The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel Webster out to all his Mends who were In litigation and received In return about $1,500, bo that he got Wibster's services for nothing and made a good profit to boot.

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, bo that he might learn to speak English during his 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 or study, the Chinaman ventured forth among his people, where he proceeded to give an exhib!-' tlon of his proficiency lu the English language.
