iryour backache aches, and you feel
sick, languid, weak and miserable day

ry. Doan's Kidney
Pills have cured thou-
sands of women in th€
same condition. Mrs
A. Heiman of Stillwa-

Inured me In 1899 and
'I've been well since
I used to have such pain In my bach
that once 1 fainted. The kidney se-
cretions were much disordered, and 1
was so far gone that I was thought tc
be at death's door. Since Doan's Kid-
ney Pills cured me I feel as If I had
been pulled back from the tomb."

"Well, I have been cured by several

Every housekeeper shouiu Know tnat
If they will buy Dellance Cold Water
Starch for laundry use they will save
not nnly time, because it never sticks
to the Iron, but because earh package
contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while
all other Cold Water Starches are put
up In %-pound packages, and the price
Is the same, 10 cents. Then again
because Defiance Starch Is free from
all Injurious chemicals. If your grocer
tries to sell you a 12oz. package it
Is because he has a stock on hand
which he wishes to dispose of before
he puts in Defiance. He knows that
Defiance Starch has printed on every
package in large letters and figures
"16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save
much time and money and the annoy-
ance of the iron sticking. Defiance
never sticks.
Nell—Mrs. Newiywed says the baby
has her complexion and her husband's
hair.
Bell—I wondered what had become
of them.
Standi Head.
There is something about Hunt's
Lightning Oil that no other liniment
jossesses. Others may be good, but
it is surely the best. It does all you
recommend It for, and more. For
sprains, cuts, bruises, burns, aches
and pains, It has no equal on earth.
It stands head on my medicine shelf,
v yery truly yours,
T. J. Brownlow,

Study of Laughter
Laughter In "eh" denotes the mel-
ancholy temperament. To laugh in
"oh" denotes a generous, hardy and
determined nature. But those whose
laughter gives the sound of the French
"u" are misanthropes, hypocrites and
misers, while laughter in "e" Is the
property of children and simple-mind-
ed persons. This going about fun
with infinite seriousness should help
some.
To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that a trial of
Defiance Told Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because it Is guar-
anteed by the manufacturers to be su-
perior to any other brand, but because
each lOo package contains 16 ozs.,
while all the other kinds contain but
12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady
who once us^s Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.
A fat woman can never succeed in
looking aristocratic.
Henry Phipps' Plant
Henry Phipp3, the Pittsburg million-
aire, has been buying a lot of Man-
hattan island real estate, and no one
seems to know just what ho means to
do with It. It is taken tor granted,
however, that a good deal of the prop-
v will be devoted to his favorite
philanthropy of building model tene-
nicut, bouses.
DECISION IN HANDS OF FATE.
How a Chicago Girl Settled the Mo-
mentous Question.
She was standing on a North Clark
street corncr waiting for a car when
he stopped to chat with her. The sub-
ject of engagements came up. "A
girl friend of mine once had an awful
experience," she said. "Kate had
been receiving the attentions of a
young man, whom I'll call Tom, for
several years. Two or three times he
had asked her to marry him, but she
had withheld her answer.
"One day he was appointed to a
position in an Eastern city. That
night he called on Kate and asked
her again to marry him.
" 'I need a little time to think It
pver,' she said.
" 'I leave to-morrow,' said Tom.
"'Well, to-morrow night I'll mall
you a letter giving you,my answer,'
said Kate. Tom went away and the
next day left the city. Kate thought
the matter over until late in the night.
Then she decided upon a plan. She
would write two letters to Tom, seal
them, address and stamp them. They
would look exactly alike.
"One would accept his proposal and
the other would reject it. She would
place them in the pocket of her coat,
go to a train and, Just as It started,
she would throw one letter aboard
tho m.tll car without trying to see
whl-di It was.
"Kate carried out her plan. She
went to the Union depot and Just as
r.n eastbound train started threw one
•etter aboard. Then she rushed back
infr the depot and opened the other
letter to see how fate had decided it
for her. With a scream she dropped
into a seat and almost fainted."
At this point the car stopped and
the girl stepped aboard. "Did she ac-
cept him?" asked the man on the cor-
ner s the car started.
The girl replied, but her words
vere drowned by the rumble of the
'.ar.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
Tommy and Thanksgiving.
Gov. Fofk, of Missouri, was talking
about reform.
"We all believe in It," he said, "but
we want to see it brought about at
other folks' expense. We are like, too,
a certain Kansas City boy.
"This boy's mother said to him, on
her return from a long day's shopping
in the Thanksgiving season:
" 'Now I hope my little Tommy has
taken to heart mamma's talk of last
night about charity and usefulness.
Since he has few troubles of his own,
I hope he has thought of others' trou-
bles all day long. Since he has many
causes for thanksgiving himself, I
hope he has tried to give causts for
thanksgiving to others? What is my
Tommy's report for the day? How
many acts of kindness has he done?
How much woe has he lightened. How
many hearts has my Tommy made
grateful and glad?'
"In this rather mushy way spoke
the good young mother. And her Tom-
my replied:
" 'I've done a whole lot of good, m&.
I gave your new hat to a beggar wo-
man, and I gave the cook's shoes to a
little girl in busted rubbers what I
seen on the street, and I gave a poor
lame shoe string seller pa's black eve-
ning suit, the open front one that he
hardly ever wears.'"
Hope Deferred.
Pat had just finished chopping the
sticks for the good lady, and she,
benevolent soul, had asked him wheth-
er he would prefer a cup of tea or a
drop of whisky.
"Can a duck swim?" said Pat. "Sure,
I'll be takin' a drop o' the cratur, If
ye don't mind."
So she fetched him a glass of whis-
ky and water.
Pat tasted and geemed not very
well pleas*!.
"Boggin' your pardon, mum, and
which did ye be after puttin* in the
glass first, the whisky or the water?"
"The whisky first, of course, which
is proper." she replied.
"Oh, it'll be all right then I'll be
couiia' to wlii*ky by and by/'
