A Physician's Advice.
Yorktown. Ark., March 7th. — Dodd'a
Kidney Pills must not be confounded
with the ordinary patent medicine.
They are a new discovery, a specific
for all diseases of the Kidneys and
have been accepted by physicians
only after careful tests In extreme
cases. Dr. I .eland Williamson, of this
place heartily indorses Dodd'a Kid
ney Pills "as a remedy for the varl
ous forms of the diseases of the Kid
neys. pains in the back, soreness In
the region of the Kidneys, foul-smell-
ing urine and cloudy or thickened con-
dition of the urine, discharges of pus
or corruption. Gout. Rheumatism, In-
flammation and Congestion of the Kid-
neys and all kindred complaints."
Continuing he says:
"I could mention many cases In
which 1 have prescribed Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills with success. For instance,
Mr. Robert Weeks, farmer, malaria,
hacmaturla or swamp fever three
time*, kidneys weakened, continual
pain and soreness in back, which
made him very nervous, had a little
fever and sometimes chilly. Urine
changeable, but generally very high-
colored: an old chronic case who had
taken much medicine with little ef-
fect. After taki-g Dodd's Kidney Pills
about six weeks he was entirely
cured and had gained fifteen pounds
in weight. The last time I saw him
he was the picture of perfect man-
hood."
CHAPTER XXI.—Continued.
"There must lie some motive shown
for the supposition of such an act as
murder. What motive cau be shown
here? Certainly not that of robbery.
The horse of the missing man came
back aloue. its lariat dragging, as wc
shall prove. It had not been ridden
since the lariat was broken. You all
Know, as we shall prove, that this man
Juan was never known to rit'.e a horse.
Wo shall proye that he walked sixty
miles, to the very spot where the
horse had been tied, and that he
scorned to touch a horse on his whole
Journey. He wanted no horse. He
stole no horse. That was no motive.
"To be subject to the law. an you
very well know, a man must be nior-
allv responsible. He must know rlnht
and wrong.. I shall show to you that
when this man was a child hu was
fctruck a severe blow upon tho head
and that since that time he has never
been of sound mind, his brain never
recovering from that shock, a blow
which actually broke In a portion of
his skull. Since that time ho has
had recurrent times of violent Insan-
ity. with alternating spells of what
seems a semi-Idiocy. This man's
mind never grew. In some ways his
animal senses are keen to a remark-
able degree, but of reason he has
little or none. He can not tell you
why he does thus or so. This I shall
prove to you.
I "I ask you. gentlemen of the Jury,
you who hold this man's life in your
hands, are yoy going to hang a man
for murder when it Is not shown a
murder has been done? And would
you hang a man who is more ignorant
than a child of right or wrong? Is
that fair play? Gentlemen, we are all
here together, and one of us Is as good
as another. Our ambitions are the
same. We stand here together for
the best interests of this growing
country—this country whoso first
word has always has been fair play.
"Now. say. friend, you don't want Uj

Answer the question, Mr. Has-
kins." said the court.
Well, all right. Judge; I'll do It to
oblige you. The most we saw there
was where a flre had been, lxnikcd
like a right smart tire. They was
plenty o' ashes lyla' there."
"Did you see anything in the
ashes?"
"What business la it a' yourn?"
"Now, now." said the court, "you
must answer the questions, Mr. Has-
kins."
"All right, judge." salil Curly. "Well.
I duuno hardly what we did see any
mor'n what I tole nil the boys when
we first brought Juan In. 1 tole you
all."
"Very well," said the prosecutor
"what did you see? Anything like i
man's figure?"
' We object!" said Franklin, but
Curly answered: "Well, yes. it did
look like a feller a-layln' there. But
when we touched it—"
"Never mind. Did the prisoner see
this figure?"
"Shore."
"What did he do?"
"Well, he acted plumb loco. He get
down au' hollers. Madre de Dlos!' he
hollers. I 'low he wuz plenty scared."
"Did he look scared?"
"Well, when we roped hi in he didn't
make no kick."
"Never mind. He saw the figure in
the ashes?"
"What do you know about it?—you
wasn't there."
"No, but I am going to make you
tell what was there."
"You are, huh? Well, you crack yer
whip. I like to see any feller make
me tell anything I don't want to tell."
"That's right. Curly," said some one
bt;k in the crowd. "No bluff goes."
"Not in a hundred!" said Curly.
"Now, now, now," began the judge
drowsily. The prosecuting attorney
"I object, yo* Honob! I object!"
cried the state's attorney, anrnglng to
his feet. "This is lirlnulu' the di ilty
o the law into ridicule, sail! Into ridi-
cule! I object!'
"Er, ah-h-h!" yawned the judge. su<t>
denly sitting up. "'Jouru court. Mr.
Clerk! We will set to-morrow morn-

Who is in chari,i' of this prisoner?
There ought to be some one to taks

"I reckon 1 am. .lunge." said Curly.
"He is sort o' stayiu' * Itli me while
Hill's under the weather."
"Well, take him In charge, some
one. and have him here in the morn-
ing."
"All right, judge" said Curly quiet-
ly, "I'll take care of him."
It was three o'clock of the after-
noon. The thirst of a district judgo
had adjourned the district court.
Franklin's heart sank. He dreaded
the night. The real court, as he ad-
mitted to himsell would continue its
session that night at the Cottage bar,
and perhaps it might not adjourn until
a verdict had been rendered.

The Verdict.
There came over the town of Ellls-
ille that night an ominous quiet. Rut
few men appeared on the streets. No-
body talked, or if any one did there
was one subject to which no refer-
ence was made.
Franklin finished his dinner, went
to his room and buckled on bis revol-
ver. smiling grimly as lie did so at the
thought of how Intimately all law la
related to violence, and how relative
to its environment is all law. He went
o Hatterslelgh's room and knocked

friend.

Batterslelgh cheerfully. "Quite right.

It's lonesome I am ineself the night."
llattersleigh busied himself about
his room, and soon appeared arrayed,
as was Franklin himself, wl'h re-
volver at his belt.
"Shure, Ned, mo boy," he said, "an
officer an' a gintleman should nlvver
appear abroad without his side arms.
At laste. methlnks, not on a night like
this." He looked at Franklin calmly,
and the latter rose and grasped the
hand of the fearless old soldier with-
out a word. The two Btrolled out to

As Franklin ceased and seated him-
self the silence was again broken by
a rising buzz of conversation. This
was proving really a very Interesting
show, this trial. It must go on yet a
little further.
"Call William Haskins." said the
prosecuting attorney, standing up.
with his hands In his pockets.
"William Haskins. William Hsskins,
William Haskins! Como into court!"
cried out the clerk from his corner of
the store box. No immediate re-
sponse was made. Some one nudged
Curly, who started up.
"Who—me?" he said.
"Is your name William Haskins?"
asked the Judge.
"Reckon so," said Curly. "My folks
used to call me that. I usually go
under the road brand o' 'Curly,*
though." He took his seat on a stool
near the store box, was sworn, with
his hat on. and the prosecuting attor-
ney began the examination.
"What Is your name?"
"Why, Curly."
"What is your occupation?"
"What?"
"How do you make your living?

"Take the witness," ho Baid abruptly.
"CrosB-'xamine. d'fense," said the
judge, settling back.
"Now, Curly," said Franklin, as he
took up the questioning again, "please
tell us w hat Juan did after he saw this
supposed figure in tho ashes."
"Well, of course, Juan acted plenty
loci—you know that."
"Very well. Now, what. If anything,
did you do to this alleged body in the
aBhes?"
"What did I do to it?" said Curly.
"Why, I poked It with a stick."
"What happened?"
"Why, it fell plumb to pieces."
"Did It disappear?"
"Shore it did. Wasn't a thing left."
"Did it look like a man's body,
then?"
"No, it just looked like a pile o'
ashes."
"Bore no tract; or recemblance to a
man. then?"
"None whatever."
"You wouldn't have taken it for a
body, then?"
"Nope. Course not."
"Was any part of a body left?"
"Nary thing."

"Not a single thing, furs I c'rl sen"

"Did you ever know him to receive
any Injury, any blow about the head?"
"Well, onct ole Hank Swartzman
swatted him over the head with a
8wingletree. Sort o' laid him out,
some."
"Did he act strangely after receiv-
ing that blow?"
"Why, yes; I reckon you would your-
self. He lit him a gtmd lick, it was
for ridln' Hank's favorite mare, an
from that time to now Juan ain't
never been on horseback since. That
shows he's loco. Any man what walks
is loco. Part o' the time, Juan, he's

"He has spells of violence?"
"Shore. You know that. You seen

Ambitious Youth Sold Hie Versea by a
•Ruse.
Many years ago. writes Mr. Thomas
Bailey Aldrich in "Ponkapog Papers."
a noted Boston publisher used to keep
a large memorandum book on a table
in bis private office. The volume al-
ways lay open, and was in no manner
a private affair, being the receptacle
of nothing more important than has-
tily scrawled reminders to attend to
this thing or the other.
It chanced one day that a very
young. unfledged author, passing
through tho city, looked in upon the
publisher, who was also the editor of a
famous magazine. The unfledged had
a copy of verses secreted about his
person. The publisher was absent and
young Milton sat down anil waited.
Presently his eye fell upon the mem-
orandum book. lying there spread out
like a morning newspaper, and almost
in spite of himself he read, "Don't for-
get to see the binder," "Don't forget
to mail E. his contract." "Don't forget
H.'s proofs." and so forth.
An inspiration seized ui>on the
youth. He took a pencil and at the
tall of this long list of "don't forgets"
he wrote, "Don't forget to accept A.'a
poem."
He left his manuscript on the table
and disappeared. That afternoon when
the publisher glanced over his memor-
anda he was not a little astonished
at the last item: but his sense of hu-
mor was so strong that he did accept
the poein—It required a strong sense
of humor to do that and sent the lad
a check for it. although the verses re-
main to this day imprinted.—Youth'a

preuie court of the I'ulled Slatos for
permission to intervene in the Kansas-
Colorado suit concerning the use of
the Arkansas river waters. This ac-
tion on the part of the federal govern-
ment. was a complete surprise to the
Colorado officers. Colorado's conten-
tion that no state, nor the United
States, lias any power to say what

Colorado, is opposed by the attorney
general of the United States. Mr. Mil-
ler said, only as regards the general

its water priorities. Otherwise, ac-
cording to Mr. Miller's claims, the po-
sition of the United States is favorable

to recognize an E i.« nearly one-third
longer than that taken to recognize a
T. They consider that the alphabet
is badly designed from a physiological
point of view. It should be composed
of very simply designed letters as T
or 1.. Rapidity of reading would thus
be increased and "brain faR" would be
notably diminished. It would also be
belter to have the letters printed in
