Unable to Move About On Account
of Kidney Troubles.
Mrs. Anna Beebe, River and Monroe
6ts., Anoka Minn., says: "I had to
sit in a chair day
after day unable to
move about on ac-
count of rheumatic
pains in my back,
hips and legs. I was
short of breath and
my heart would flut-
ter after the least
exertion. 1 had dizzy
spells and tearing
down pains and the kidney secretions
were much disordered. I thought I
would not live long, but since using
Doan's Kidney Pills I am a different
woman, can do my own work and have
no fear of those troubles returning."

MARK TWAIN'S RENTED CAT.
Humorist Furnishes Something for
Scribes to Puzzle Over.
Mark Twain, as is his custom, hides
himself during the summer from the
head hunters, those persons seeking
autographs, photographs, or inter-
views. This year he selected Tuxedo
Park as his retreat, renting an old
colonial house until the latter part of
September, when he returned to his
New York home. There, during the
heated days, Mr. Clemens wandered
about the country byways or spent
the time In various shady nooks in
his grounds.
A visitor who succeeded in discov-
ering his whereabouts found the great
author in his famous suit of white
flannels, seated under a tree petting
a kitten.
"Where did you get it?" queried the
friendly intruder.
For a moment there was a twinkle
in the aged humorist's eyes; it was
succeeded by a solemn look as he re-
plied: "I rent it from a neighbor.
You see, I cannot afford a cat—not
even a young one."
Subsequent inquiry proved at least
the first part of Mr. Clemen's state-
ment to be true. He had actually
rented the kitten for the summer sea-
son. What does he pay for it? No-
body knows what Mark Twain pays
for anything. All the world is Inter-
ested only in what Mark Twain is
paid.—The Sunday Magazine.
Saying "Hello" to Heart Throbs.
"It 's a curious thing," said a prom-
inent lecturer recently, "how some
books have a strong radiating person-
ality, so that you feel like saying
'Howdy' every time you come across
them. Last Christmas I visited friends
back at the old home on the farm.
When the supper dishes had been put
away, the chores done and the evening
lamp lighted we gathered beside the
organ for a good old fashioned 'sing.'
On the center tablo were strewn the
Christmas remembrances taken from
Christmas tree on the evening beforA
Glancing over them I suddenly ex-
claimed 'Hello! my good friend,
Hello!' and as the others looked up
with surprise, I picked up a copy of
'Heart Throbs' and read to them from
its pajes the 'piece' I spoke In
school 40 years ago.
"That was enough to set in motion'
the friendly entertaining spirit of
Heart Throbs, and the music was for-
gotten as we took turns reading the
humorous and pathetic bits of prose
and verse that have been preserved
in this wonderful volume. Some books
have great literary value, some have
historical significance, but Heart
Throbs Is the only book I know that
slaps you on the back In a frieadly
sort cf way, suiting itself to your
moods and proving faithful to every
emotion. Next to my love of the Bible
1 love Heart Throbs. It Is the most
notable book of the times."
Taking Immediate Steps.
Ruggles (the bookkeeper)—I'm
more than half sick with the hay
fever.
Ramage (the cashier)—That's bad.
You ought to go to some place where
you would be sure of finding frost.
Ruggles—I'll do it, Ramage. I'll go
this minute and ask the old man for
a raise in salary.—Chicago Tribune.

BABY'S ECZEMA GREW WORSE.
Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Re-
lieve Him—But Cuticura Remedies
a Speedy, Permanent Cure.
"Eczema appeared when our baby
was three months old. We applied to
Beveral doctors and hospitals, each of
which gave us something different
every time, but nothing brought relief.
At last, one of our friends recommend-
ed to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. A few days afterwards im-
provement could be noted. Since then
we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now
the baby is six months old and Is quite
cured. All that we used was one cake
of Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cuti-
cura Ointment, costing in all $1.25. C.

Martins' Revenge.
A correspondent tells the story of
two house martins' nests built against
an attic window of a farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring, however, before
they arrived, a sparrow took up her
abode in one of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning a boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
of this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs.
'ihe house martins had walled her
up for daring to take possession of
their house.—Country Life.
A Walking Map.
"The maps we have been giving as
premiums to subscriptions caused a
little temporary excitement in our of-
fice the other day," says the editor of
the Adams Enterprise. "Ben Spudge
called and casually remarked in the
presence of seven intending sub-
scribers that the said maps weren't
worth the paper they were printed on.
As this observation caused the seven
intending ones to keep their cash in
their pockets we proceeded to make a
map of Ben's countenance, and we
succeeded so well that he is now the
best walking advertisement our map
industry ever had. Call again, Ben,
old boy!"—Atlanta Constitution.
There Is no fortune so good but It
may be reversed, and none so bad but
it may be bettered.—Scales.
PLEASANT SUMMER.
Right Food the Cause.
A Wis. woman says:
"I was run down and weak, troubled
with nervousness and headache for the
last six years. The loast excitement
would make me nervous and cause
severe headache,
"This summer I have been eat|ng
Grape-Nuts regularly and feel better
than for the six past years.
"1 am not troubled with headache
and nervousness, and weigh more than
1 ever have before in my life. 1 gained
5 lbs. in ono week."

HERE'S A NEW DEFINITION.
And Many There Are Will Say Senator
Piatt Was Right.
A rather cynical joke has been ro-
cently credited to Senator Piatt.
The senator, on his last visit to the
Manhattan Ileach hotel, allowed a
pretty little girl, a western million-
aire's daughter, to be presented to
him.
The little girl, In the course of ono
of her many chats with the aged
statesman, said:
"Tell me, won't you, senator, what
political economy is?"
"Political economy, my dear child,"
Senator Piatt is said to have replied,
"is the art of never buying more
votes than you actually need."
Rest and Sleep.
Few escape those miseries of win-
ter—a bad cold, a distressing cough.
Many remedies are recommended, but
the one quickest and best of all is Sim-
mon's Cough Syrup. Soothing and
healing to the lungs and bronchial
passages, it stops the cough at once
and gives you welcome rest and peace-
ful sleep.

suddenly."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
