WASTED TO A SHADOW.
MANY LITTLE SMILES
But Found a Cure After Fifteen
Year* of Suffering.
A. H. Stotts, messenger at the State
Capitol, Columbas, O., says:
‘ For fifteen years
I had kidney trou-
bles, and though I
doctored faithfully,
could not find a
cure. I had heavy
backaches, dizzy
headaches ami ter-
rible urinary disor-
ders. One day 1
collapsed, fell in-
sensible on the
sidewalk, and then
wasted away in bed for ten weeks
After being given up, I began using
Doan’s Kidney Pills. In a couple of
months I regained my old health, and
now weigh 188 pounds. Twelve boxes
did it, and I have been well two
years.”
Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

Pin Prick Kills at Ninety-Nine.
After living over ninety-nine years
without any serious illness, Mrs. Ma-
tilda Scott, of Bellville, Mi Min county,
Pa., five months ago pricked her fore-
head with a pin. Cancer resulted and
she died. She was the mother of
twelve children, and gave .'even sous
to the Union army in the civil war.
She was the second oldest woman in
Central Pennsylvania, and would have
reached 100 next February.
Highest in the World.
One of the most interesting railway
trips in the world is over the Oroyo
railway, which runs from Callao to the
goldfields of Cerro de Paeco. It is
considered one of the wonders in the
Peruvian world. It is certainly the
greatest feat of railway engineering
in either hemisphere. Commencing
in Callao, it ascends the narrow val-
ley of the Iiimac, rising nearly 5,000
feet in the first forty-six miles. Thence
it goes through the intricate gorge;
of the Sierras till it tunnels the An-
des at an altitude of 15,045 feet, the
highest point in the world where a pis-
ton rod Is moved by steam. This as-
tonishing elevation is reached in
seventy-eight miles.
Convincing Evidence.
Winthrop, Cal., Nov. 20th (Special)
—A plain and straightforward story
Is always the most convincing. And
that is what has impressed us most
In reading the testimonials in regard
to Dodd’s Kidney Pills. The experi-
ence told by Davis Lewis of this place
bears the ring and stamp of truth
upon it. He says: —
“I was troubled for six months
with dull heavy pains in the small
of my back, sometimes it passed into
my stomach, at other times up be-
tween my shoulders. When it was
in my stomach I was doubled up, and
hardly knew what to do for the pain.
1 was advised to take all kinds of
n medies, and did so but without get-
ting any relief. Then some one told
me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I got
a box and began taking them. The
first few doses gave me relief, by the
time I had finished them all the pain
was gone and I have been well ever
since.”

Value, Thought the Beggar—Mr.

His Juei Oue.
‘‘See, here, May,” sruti Jack, to his
mannish sister, “I den t mind your in
roads upon my haberdashery, but you
might at least give me a testimonial

“How do you mean?” she de-
manded.
"Well, you might say something
like this: ‘Dear Jack: Since using
vour shirts and collars I am a new
woman.’ ”—Catholic Standard and
Times.
Nothing Doing.
“Hello, pa,” said the college youth
on the long-distance ’phone; “I am be-
ginning to get worried about that
check I wrote to you for—”
“Don’t worry about it, my boy,” re-
plied his father; ‘‘it’s safe.’
‘‘Ah!’
‘‘Yes, safe in my check book. Good
by.”
Danger in Hair Dye.
Knott Yette—You mean to say thaf
the use of hair dye is dangerous?

turning gray at thirty. Well, he had
it dyed a deep black. Four weeks
later he was married.—Tales.

do.”
Only One.
Gaddie—Well, old man. YToungley’s
in your class now’.

Phamley—Pshaw! He’s only an
amateur.
A Different Kind.
Mr. Booze—I never saw so many
snakes in my life as there are in the-
woods back of the barn.
Mrs. Booze—Well, I don’t know,
but you often said that you have seer
them all over the room, while at
home.
When a doctor encounters an ail-
ment that puzzles him he blames it
on a microbe.
What He Owed.
“Doctor, I owe you my life.”
‘‘Oh, no; only for thirty two visits.”

And So Forth.

that will pierce any armor,” said the
seeker for information, “what will
the next step be?”

tile will pierce,’ answered the naval
expert.
“And then?”
“We must find a projectile that wil!
pierce any armor.”

money yer advice can’t be very valu«

“Do you think,” she asked, “that
there are any girl angels in heaven?”
“I haven’t given the matter much
thought,” he replied, “but I know of
one girl angel who isn’t there.”
“Oh, Tom!” she cried when she
could again use her mouth for speak-
ing purposes, “you don’t think I said
it just to lead you up to it, do you?”
Her Opinion of Him.
“Y’aas,” said Cholly, “I was intro-
duced to Miss Peppry lawst evening,
and I fawncy she confused me with
some one else. She seemed puz-
zled.”
“Y'es,” replied Miss Sharpe, “she
told me afterward that you did im-
press her like the average puzzle. ‘So
simple when you know it.’ ”
Lesson One.
“I intend to pursue a literary ca-
reer,” said the ambitious youth. “How
would you advise me to study and
practice?”
“I should advise you,” said the
man with the bulging forehad and
pointed whiskers, “to study economy
and practice self denial”
Slightly Suspicious.
His w’ife—The minister talked
about takin’ up a collection to defray
the church expenses. I wonder what

he ain’t tryin’ to git out of any of
’em.—Town and Country.
The Lesser Evil.
