Under Mohammed Masters Conditions Are Not Severe. "In Zanzibar and Pemba slaves are very slow to take advantage of the regulations that give them the right to claim their freedom," says a traveler. "They realize that so long as they are well used their position is superior to that of the man whose freedom is his sole asset. I have found the same attitude in North Africa. From Morocco to Tripoll one sees most of the slaves well content and flourishing. The famine, the locusts, the drought and the tax collector have no terror for them; work keeps them healthy, they have enough to eat and drink and the future has no meaning at all. There is promotion; there are confidential missions to governors and friends that elevate a slave, if only in the eyes of his fellows, and there is always a chance of manumission when the owner dies and wishes to have some good deeds recorded in the books of Islam's recording angels. The sorry truth of the matter is that slaves under Mohammed rule are much better off than they ever were under the rule of white men—in America and elsewhere." THANKS OF THE BAILIE. Possibly More Truth in Speech Than He Intended. There was an excellent man who, after serving his fellow citizens in Glasgow as a councillor, at length was promoted to the dignity of ballie, or alderman, as the rank is called in England. Though he was none the worse on that account, it is the simple fact that his education had been neglected. This he proceeded to prove—himself happily unconscious—in his speech of thanks: "I canna but say, my friends, that I am proud of the honor of being made a ballie of this great city; and I am even, I think, entitled to the honor, for I have gone through a the various stages o' degradation that a ballie has to do to reach it!" This recalls the famous story of the councillor who objected to a proposal to place a candelabra in the council chamber on the ground that they would need to pay some one to play it! Her Transformation. Her Transformation. She drank quantities of water, ate a lot of food, took them down. Abstained from exercising every day; She assimilated hactic and a case of malted goods. But it seemed her fate to have to fade away. She so mourned attenuation, with a visage like an owls. That a smile upon her face was never seen. While she now her mouth were wrinkles, and above her eyes were scowls, And her nose was like a hatchet in between. But one day she fell to laughing in a strange, hysteric way. Just in thinking how ridiculous it proved. And it mellowed to a cookie that was so tough, they say. Till at last she giggled every time she moved. Why, she chuckled out her wrinkles, and she snuckered off her frowns. To all the things she shouldn't do. Now she's grown as fat as butter, and has outgrown all her gowns; But she laughs away at that disaster, well. —Elliot Walker in the Woman's Home Companion. Turquoise the Stone of the East. Turquoise the Stone of the East. The best turquoises are found in the celebrated Nishapur mines in Persia, in which district are two whole villages inhabited by turquoise miners, who work at a depth of eighty or ninety feet below the ground, breaking the rock with hammers. Upon a turquoise being discovered, it is laid aside in its rough state, and afterwards extracted from its matrix by an elaborate method. Besides these mines, there are others known as khaki (earth) mines, in which the gems are found in loose soil, two or three feet below the surface. No Oriental, however poor, but manages to become possessed of a turquoise, even if it is only in a tin setting. Substitute for Rubber A new substitute for rubber is being made in Mexico from the guayule plant. A man seldom acts like a fool unless he's the real thing. Fancy Prices for Relics. For a love letter written by Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, $50 was paid not long ago. Yet a brass collar which was worn by Boatswain, the dog to whose memory Lord Byron erected a monument at Newstead abbey, fetched 21 guineas, while the collar of Thunderer, another of Lord Byron's dogs, realized 4 guineas only. Reasoning by Logic. Ethel, aged 6, is just learning to spell and is much rejoiced over her progress. She announced with great glee to her father, the other evening, that she knew how to spell "in," and proved the assertion. A few minutes later she inquired, with a puzzled air: "Papa, does 'in' backwards spell 'out?' Boyish Indiscretion: A Pittsburg boy who left home to pose as a man was discovered wearing trousers much too large for him. This was easy for the police. If he had been a real man, he would have worn trousers entirely too tight for him, such as so many fashion plates foist on buyers—Buffalo Sxpress. Lives of Different Meaning It is noble to be alive to the littleness of earth, but it is nobler to become impressed with its greatness; to the animal life it is only a pasture ground; to ordinary men it is the commonplace world; to but to who lives above it it becomes a shining moon. Mean Fling at Scotchmen. A man who says he is an Englishman writes to. the Westminster Gazette that he has learned that in 1667 there were only thirty-six Scots in London, and that he now knows the meaning of the expression, "the good old times." Islands Have Disappeared. The "Royal Company's Islands," supposed to be in the Pacific ocean, have been removed from the maps of the Hydrographic Institute of the British Admiralty because all efforts to find them have failed. Easy. The teacher had been talking about a hen sitting on eggs, and, with the incubator in his mind, asked if eggs could be hatched in any other way. "Yes, put 'em under a duck," was the response. Women Workers of London. There are in actual practice in London five women builders, two women architects, seven women house painters and dozens of women who are employed as internal house decorators. First Artificial Teeth. It has been found that false teeth were used by the people who lived in 1000 B.C. These teeth were made of ivory and fastened to an ivory plate by means of a fine gold wire. Austrian Old Age Pensions. Under the Austrian poor law every man 60 years old is entitled to a pension equal to one-third the amount per day which he has earned during his working days. First Pantomime: The first regular English pantomime is said to have been "Harlequin Executed," produced at the Lincoln's Inn Fields theater, Dec. 26, 1717. Lake Disappears. Lake Chad is gradually drying up, and recent researches tend to show that its complete disappearance is only a question of time. Rich English Counties. Lancashire, England, is the next richest county to London. It is rated at £240,000,000 against London's £43,500,000. Largest Deposits of Nickel The largest deposits of nickel are on the island of New Caledonia, a French possession in the South Pacific. Women Carry Mails. Many of the rural letter carriers in the Tyrel are women KANSAS CITY MO., FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1905. Natural Dyes in Ireland. From moss gathered on the mountain side the peasants of Ireland dye the wool a pretty shade of brown; they gather seaweed from the thousand little bays which seam the coast of Connemara for dyeing the wool other soft shades; in the valleys are found the cock and oak leaves for still other colors, while from the peat bogs they squeeze a dark fluid to color the white wool a glossy black. From a Novel. In a novel recently published the following delightful instance of the easy descent from the sublime to the ridiculous occurs, and has been gibbed by a spiteful reviewer: "When Margaret, white to the lips with pain, knelt in the woods one day, and kissed the cross which Herr Kaufmann had erected to the sacred memory of their early love, the leaves tell about her like telegrams from high places." Free Food for Children. Many thousands of children go to school in France every day without having had breakfast. In Paris the school canteens have proved a blessing. They buy food at wholesale rates and are thus able to supply lunchrooms of beans, vegetables and macaroni at three cents each for those who can afford to pay, while the poor are fed gratuitously. Ticked Time Two Centuries The residents of Tialpam, Mex., complain that the public clock of that town is useless; repairs are made every week, but every week the clock gets out of repair and can never be kept in good condition. The Tialpam clock is probably the oldest public clock on the American continent. It was originally installed as a cathedral clock in the year 1657; in 1790 it was donated to the council of San Agustin de las Clevas, near Tialpam, when it was installed there and set in motion. Since that time it has never undergone repairs until a few weeks ago. The clock, however, has told the time for 247 years and it is but natural that it is tired and wants to be sent to a museum. Why Snow Bursts a Gun. In a discussion at the Royal society on the effects of sudden pressures, in London recently of some experiments on the effects of sudden pressures, attention was called to a singular experience, which, it was said, people who go shooting in winter sometimes have. If the muzzle of a gun happens to get plugged up with a little snow, the gun invariably bursts when fired in that condition. Light as the plug of snow is, it requires a definite time for a finite pressure, however great, to get it under way, and during this short time the tension of the powder gases becomes so great that the barrel of the ordinary fowling-piece is unable to withstand it. A South African Hoodoo Man A colored man, Jaul Jones, has been committed for trial by the Wynberg Magistrate on a charge of practising as a doctor without a license. Paul Pulse, a laborer, said he went to Rock's farm, where the accused lived. He found the accused and told him that he was sick. Accused took witness into his bedroom, took a tin, put something into it, 'truck a match and set fire to it. He then snapped his fingers over it and took a bull's eye glass and examined his chest and body, looked over some playing cards and told witness that there was a frog alive in his stomach.—Johannesburg Star. Singed Hair of Cat and Dog. Henry Adams a Henry county farmer, was in the city yesterday with a very naked dog and a strange tale of the odd effects of a bolt of lightning that struck his house during the severe storm of Monday afternoon. The lightning struck the kitchen, running down the pipe of the stove, shaving the fur clean from the back of a cat that was asleep beneath the stove, striking the dog as lightly as it had struck the cat, running down the animal's legs to the ground, leaving a trail of singed fur in its wake and doing no damage to either animal beyond a severe fright.-Baltimore Sun Spaniels Always on Duty. Spaniels are full of resource, and their exploits in retrieving wounded birds are wonderful. A small brown and white spaniel broke its foreleg, which was set in stiff bandages hardened with some preparation. It could only go on three legs, but hopped out after its master with the other dogs when these were taken for a walk. There had been a pheasant shoot, and the little spaniel could not resist slipping off to smell down the side of a small belt. It discovered a winged cock pheasant, dashed after it on three legs and caught and retrieved it, hopping into the road with the big bird in its mouth.—County Gentleman (London). Cultivate the Memory. Many people complain of having a poor memory, and yet that faculty can be developed as easily as can theiceps muscle. Nor is it necessary to go to any professor of memory or to master any elaborate system in order to accomplish this result. One does not have to go to a gymnasium to strengthen the arm or back. Chopping wood or rowing a boat will do it. Similarly, memory may be cultivated by an effort and amid ordinary pursuits. First Life Insurance Policy. The first life insurance policy of which the details are on record resulted in a lawsuit: William Gybbsons resumed himself on June 15, 1583, for £383 against dying in twelve months; he died on May 18 of the next year—and the disgusted underwriters the company of those days) contested payment on the plea that he had lived twelve months of twenty-eight tays each!—The World's Work. Can Live Without Spleen. That a human being can live without a spleen has been thoroughly established. At one time it was supposed that the spleen produced the red blood corpuscles of the white ones, or charged the one into the other; but since it is known that the bone-marrow has something to do with the production of corpuscles, and that spleenless men can live in perfect health, more operations are being performed for the removal of this organ. Experiment Worth Trying. For good spirits, god humor, good conduct and good living, so say cheerful thinkers, try the simple expedient of saving a little money, from week to week. As the bank balance grows so will grow high ideals of business and social existence, to say nothing of the moral courage that dares to think deeply, to claim unswerving allegiance with the cause of the just and right. Stopping an Epidemic. An epidemic in Kambun, Japan, was traced to a certain stream of water, but as the natives who drank the water could neither see nor smell the germs of the disease, they continued to drink from the stream. Then the police allowed kerosene oil to trickle into the water, and this evidence of pollution proved convincing and ended the epidemic. FISHING LINES FROM GRUBS. Details in the Manufacture of Silk- worm Gut. It has been found that silkworm gut forms the best line for fishing purposes, partly on account of its great tenacity and partly because it is so transparent. Every year a sufficient number of Spanish silkworm grubs are selected for this purpose. After they have eaten enough mulberry leaves, and before they begin to spin, they are thrown into vinegar for several hours. Each insect is killed and the substance which the grub in the natural course would have spun into a cocoon is forcibly drawn from the dead worm into a much thicker and shorter silken thread. The threads are then placed in pure water for about four hours and afterward dipped for ten minutes in a solution of soft soap. The fine outer skin is thus loosened, so that the workman can remove it with his hands. The threads must be dried in a shady place, and are often bleached with sulphur vapor until they acquire the bright appearance of spun glass. Gallantry to Burn. It always makes us mad to see statements that the "old fashioned women" were better cooks or housekeepers than the women of the present day. The woman of the present day is good enough for us, or for anybody. There are a few shiftless women, but the great majority of them are admirable.—Opelika News. Human Perversity In one of the old English comedies an undertaker reproves one of his mourners for laughing at a funeral, and says to him: "You bad-fellow, you! I have been raising your wages these two years, upon condition that you should appear more sorrowful and the higher wages you receive the happier you look!" Use of Asbestos Increasing: The use of asbestos by electricians is daily increasing, for it meets the most exacting requirements for purposes of insulation. Its latest application is to the "electrotherm," the new device which is already taking the place of hot-water bottles in hospitals and sickrooms. Children Sodden With Liquor The cantonal school board of Tieino, in Switzerland, complains in a circular to parents that owing to children being allowed at home to partake too freely of the strong native liquor, boys and girls often go to school in a hopelessly intoxicated condition. Mouse Made Nest of Currency John Shanley of Milford, Coun., put a $5 bill in a pocket of one of his coats, to find that some small mouse had a nest in the pocket and had chewed up $5 of his hard-earned money to make a nice soft bed for itself. First Use of Piano. There are 10,700 pieces of wood, cloth, and felt, and 1,185 feet of wire in a concert grand-piano. The earliest recorded public performance on the piano-forte took place at Covent Garden, England, on May 16th, 1767. Made Ill by Unfiltered Water After a club dinner at a hotel in Stockholm, says the Frankfurter Zeitung, several hundred persons fell ill of typhoid, due to unfiltered river water being used for washing the vegetables. Canada is the paradise of the angler. Within easy range of Quebec are hundreds of lakes, sometimes miles in extent, which swarm with fish, and nearly all of which are free to all comers.

GRAND OPEARA AT CONVENTION HALL. The musical public throughout the entire Southwest is on the very "tip toe" of pleasurable expectancy as the time draws near when Mr. Henrich Conried and his incomparable aggregations, direct from the Metropolitan Opera House, New York will appear for the first time in the West in a season of grand opera in Convention Hall, Kansas City. At five o'clock on the afternoon of Friday, March 31st, the curtain will raise on Mr. Conried's production of "Parsifal," which is admittedly more magnificent in every particular than the performance of Wagner's masterpiece given at Bayreuth. On Satteday afternoon, April 1st, "Les Hugenots" will be given with a caste that is simply invincible, as it includes such world famed names as Nordica, Sembrich, Homer, Dippel, Scotti, Van Rooy, Journet, etc. The production in Kansas City will be the same in every particular together with the identical caste, superb orchestra, with the world of supernumeraries which goes to form an ensemble which has produced opera that has scored nothing less than triumph this season in New York. The Kansas City season of grand opera will close with a fitting climax, as a grand double bill has been selected of two operas which represent the greatest achievements of the modern Italian composers. The first of these will be Mascagnits' 'Cavalleria Rubticana,' that little chef d'ouvre of passion and song, which is the best work of Mascagni, and who has succeeded in packing into his musical setting, the tragic love story first told by the Italian writer Verga. In this work, the writer will time will have an opportunity of hearing Mune. De Macchi, the most wonderful dramatic soprano Italy has produced in years. The second opera will be the equally famous short opera of Leoncavallo which rivals in its charm, power and pathos. Both works will give marvelous expression to the violence and emotion of Italy. In "Pagliacei" Caruso, the world famous tenor will appear in one of his greatest roles. The approaching season of grand opera in Kansas City will be Caruso's first appearance in the West, and at this time, the West will have an opportunity of passing judgment upon this man, who to day is the frenzied idol of the Metropolitan Opera House audience, in New York. LENDING TO THE LORD The Rev George Gilfillan, the eminent divine, was distinguished for his gregoriness and largeness of heart. On one occasion he met a member of his church whom he had not seen at worship for a long time. Reminding him of the fact, the minister asked what was wrong. "I did not like to come in a coat I am ashamed of—it is so bare," answered the man. The minister instantly divested himself of his own coat, and handed it to his distressed parishioner. "There, my man, let me see my coat every Sunday until it becomes bare, and then call back." The worthy divine then returned to his studies in his shirt sleeves; and his wife observing him, asked what he had done with his coat. "I have just lent it to the Lord!" was Gilfillan's noble answer. WHEN John Philip Sousa returns to this country from his present European tour, it is said he will bring with him the completed score of a comic opera, the book of which is being written by Harry B. Smith, and which the bandmaster will produce early next season. THE RISING SON. LEWIS WOODS,.....

Turner, in Washington Post Fun with a Fly Seesaw. Here is an amusing little trick that you will find lots of fun: Stick a long lead pencil in the end of a spool of thread so that it will stand upright. Now get a piece of very stiff blotting paper and from it cut a strip two inches wide and about a foot long. On each end of this put a drop of molasses or syrup. Now balance the strip of blotting paper, with the syrup side up. on the point of the pencil. You should have 2 = Za =e <M = QOZZE== OSs 2 = SS) See-Sow in Operation. two players, although one will do. Each player chooses an end of ‘the | paper. In a moment a fly will alight on one end, attracted by the syrup, and that end of the paper will go. down a trifle, Then another fly will light on the other end, or perhaps sev- eral will come there for the sweets and things will be reversed. As more flies come, alighting on the ends, the paper will lean first this way, then that, ti it overbalances and falls to the tables. Then the player whose end grew so heavy as to cause the tumble wins. We would not advise you to try this tn the house, but rather out of doors in the wurm sunshine, where the flies will not bother any one.

ROTHA FRANCIES. Origin of the Monocole. The proposal to permit the use of spectacles to British soldiers is a re- minder that from their prohibition came the monocle, About a century Ago an army order was issued for- bidding officers to wear eyeglasses or spectacles, But a short-sighted — of- ficer belonging to a crack regiment had no mind to resign his commission or stumble blindly, and he invented the single eyeglass. When called to account by the authorities he claimed that the monocle, being of the singular number, did not con- travene the order against spectacles and glasses in the plural. Red tape accepted this literal rendering of the law, and, becoming popular in the British army the monocle was adpot- ‘ed by civilian beaus, The Less Expensive Section Offers Wonderful Bargains For Saturday Selling.

Houston Post Honesty That Irritated. “Once, when I had occasion to with- draw $25 from my bank,” remarked the consclentious man, “something happened which almost tempted me to think that honesty may at times be not so very commendable. By a cur- ious mistake, considering the small amount of money, the cashier handed out six five-dollar gold pieces, With- out thinking what it meant to him | shoved one of the coins back saying: ‘You have given me too much.’ The look that man gave me I have never forgotten, although even at this day I cannot describe it.

Wicks, vice president of the Pullman Palace Car company, who rose to that position from ticket agent in East St. Louis years ago, died last Tuesday. Mr. Wicks was the best friend the Negro had in the Pullman service since the death of Geo. M. Pullman. The death of Mr. Wicks is very much regretted by the employees of the road. KANSAS CITY KANSAS ITEMS. A good many unnecessary and harmful things have been said during the progress of the campaign about the high school question, things that will not help either race. We must learn to be temperate in speech, judicious in judgement and wise in council. The whole affair was most deplorable and humiliating to us as a race, but no amount of fitting uttering will help now. Rev. A. M. Wan closed his great revival Sunday night with 97 additions. Rev. Ransom, the P. E., was with him in his quarterly meeting and a great day was Sunday. Mr. Walter Floyd, a very prominent young man who died last Thursday night was buried Sunday afternoon. His funeral was from the Firsh A. M. E. church and was very largely attended. The storm Monday night was very severe in the West Bottoms. The beautiful stained glass window in the front of the St. John A. M. E. church were blown out entailing a heavy loss. Next Tuesday is election day in Kansas City, ans. Four tickets are out for popular favor., the Republican, Democrat, Socialist and Independent. Which party, if it gets into power, will do the most for the Negro? The history of these parties tell us which has done the most in the past. The principles which each espouse show most clearly what we may expect in the future. The men who dictate the policy of each of them should tell each and every man just what he may expect. Let Kansas City, Kansas, remain under Republican guardainship. This can only be done by every loyal Republican going to the poles next Tuesday and standing by the Republican man chines. Lovefeast at St. John A. M. E. church has been put off till next Monday night. Quarterly conference was held Thursday night. Sunday was quarterly meeting day. Rev. Collins, P. E., ws present all day. Mrs. Mason preached one of the most soul stirring sermons she has ever delivered before a Kansas City audience. The crowds were so great that the streets and rear of the church were full. All the city pastors were with the Rev. Vaughn as it was his second quarterly meeting. Eight persons joined the church. Collection good. The millinery class that has been in progress some time past under Mrs. Harris, made one of the most splendid exhibits at M. and O. Hall last Friday night that has ever been made to Kansas City people. All kinds of hats made by the class were on exhibition. Now if the colored ladies that wear hats—and that means all of them—will patronize these students in this new line, they will be so encouraged that they will likely open business and that means employment for more of us. Let us learn to help each other in business and thus build up race enterprise. Read Negro papers and books, buy goods, as far as possible, from Negroes, and you will be fostering race enterprise that will help us in the future. Bishop and Grant left for Colorado Springs last Thursday, where the Bishop is looking after some church matter. It is hoped that the water will help Mrs. Grant, who has been ill for some time. Kansas City Kansas has a full fledged photographer now, in the person of Mr. S. V. Miller, who is doing all kinds of photograph work for colored people. Mr. David Taylor left for Omaha this week, where he will remain for some time. Miss Rebecca Thompson, of 8th and Nebraska, departed this life last week. She was burried in Woodlawn Cemetary.

LEXINGTON NEWS Prof. Charles Rogers, of Arkansas, lectured at the A. M. E. church Sunday night. His subject was "Friendship." Hie lecture was very instructive to our race. He also lectured at the 2nd Baptist church Sunday afternoon, and every one that heard him was well pleased. We need more such lectures to our race. Mr. R. R. Richmond, of Chariton, Ia., was here Monday, and lectured at the A. M. E. church Monday night. He organized the Merchant's Co-Operative Association. Mr. A. B. Johnson and Mr. A. W. Walker went to Kansas City Friday evening to attend the banquet to Major Warner. Mr Charles Haywood and Mr. Bud Myers were in Kansas City Saturday night attending the O. F. Lodge. They returned home Sunday morning. Mr. Jerry Lee departed this life Monday morning. He leaves a wife, two children, and a brother and a sister, the wife of Mr. Isaac Jones, and quite a number of relatives to mourn his loss. He was carried to Hodge for burial. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family. Mr. Robert Mosby is quite ill, also Mr. Wm. Jenkins. Mr. Joseph Myers is quite ill with pneumonia. Mr. Frank Bolton had his finger mashed very badly in the mines. Mr. Walter Cooley and Mr. Chester Cooley left inursday to look after the school. If there ever was anything needed here, that is one of them. You don't need to talk but you do need to act. Mr. Saul Jackson was in Rosedale, Kansas preaching Sunday. Rev. Hardin Smith held a seris of meetings last week at the 2nd Baptist church. Mr. Wilson of Sweetsprings was here Sunday the guest of Dr. Ball. Mrs. John Johnson went to Dover Saturday to see her sister, Mrs. Alice Brown who is very sick. She returned home Sunday evening. Mrs. Emman Smith is confined to her bed with rheumatism. Mr. Eliza Burns is on the sick list. Remember the election on Tuesday the 4th, for school directors and alternates.

A man who "knows it all" spends most of his time telling it. Charity covers a multitude of sins with red tape. To run up a bill is human—to pay it is divine. Courtship is the light of youth, and marriage is the gas bill. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but it is hard to make the bird believe it. Fate may lead us up to the door of the hall of fame, but when capital whistles, we stand outside and listen. One side of the story always sounds true until you hear the other. Most people make sure they are in good health before they sing: "I want to be an angel." When a telephone girl steals a man's heart, it is no crime, because a fair exchange is no robbery. Hard work is the sugar of life, but lots of people prefer lemons. Money is not everything when you have money, but when you have no money it is everything. Most self-made men like to tell you what a hard job they had. Cole and Johnson made a hit at the Orpheum last week. Mrs. Boone, of Columbia, Mo., the wife of Blind Boone, spent Sunday with Mrs. J. Lange, 912 Park. When you are out looking for a room, stop in at the New Post, 1807 Tracy. A. W. Walker, of Letting, was in the city last week. The colored people of the city are buying and building very fast. It would be a treat to move the summer school out of the Bottoms, as it is a poor place for a school. If you want a hat, call on Mrs. Foster, at 1215 Paseo, and see if you can't be suited. I wonder why the Colored girls of the city did not do the work at the hand laundry. Could they not get the places? Or is it to be said they are coming to a place where they won't work. It is hard, but I guess it is true. To some of our subscribers: Why don't you make a fuss about paying us? There are so many who owe us, that they must pay or we can not send the paper to them. Those that are in arreas please call and pay up. We need the money. You can't ride on pennies, or eat on tick, so if you want a good paper you must support it. Sweetening Sugar. All sugar is not sweet, or rather sweet enough to come up to the required standard of sweetness, so some kinds must be sweetened artificially. There are many establishments where this process is carried on. A cone of sugar is placed over an apparatus apex downward, many little holes in the apparatus coming in contact with the point of the cone. A thick liquid is poured on the flat end of the cone and the machinery is set in motion. The holes become the mouths of the suction tubes and the sweetening liquid is drawn through the cone, giving it the necessary quality.

The Two Angels He came at daybreak from the skies— God's Morning Angel, wise and strong; He touched the sleeping infant's eyes And made them shine the whole day long. At eventtime another came. His peaceful eyes were grave and deep; He cared for the restless bale by name, And gently tipped its brow, and whispered, "Sleep." To manhood grown, that little child, Todt life's long pathway year by year; Each day more noble, strong and mild— God's Morning Angel ever near. At length, worn and fatigued, he lay, God's sweet Night Angel came that way, And closed those weary eyes, and whispered, "Rest!" The BETRAYAL OF CONNOR BY HATTE PRESTON RIDER (Copyright, 1905, Daily Story Pub, Ca) "If you can't see yer way to helpin' us out, Rilly, I'spose I can throw up the job an' enlist." Aurilla's brown cheek flushed. "I wish to God you would!" she broke off, abruptly. A sullen glow crept into the man's eyes. The bluff falling, he had a more potent one in reserve, and he used it. by sight?" he queried, as she paused. A hard line grew around Aurilia shapely lips. Her clasped hand showed ghastly at the knuckles. "Jimmy Connor's promised to the team to the next station on underground," she said, in a slow, tallic voice. "He——" She paused sharply, putting one hand to her "Cap's Nettie 'll see to them barn keys, willin' enough, if you balk, my girl. Cap spoke about it, himself: 'If you'll ask her, she will, Jimmy,' says he," significantly. Aurilla paled, and the fingers her companion was fondling grew cold as ice. He waited in unyielding silence, though his heart leaped. "Yer patriotism is one-sided, aln't it?' he laughed, harshly, at last. "You don't relize that the government gits them hosses a lot cheaper, if they did but know it, than they would dealin' outright with these skinfilt farmers; and underground transportation rates is low. By the Lord! Cap's Nettie 'g got a heap clearer head than you hev!" Aurilla jerked her hand from his. "Get her to help you, then!" she cried, hotly. "I hate it, and I hate the gang, and you worst of all, Jimmy Connor!" Turning, she fled up the lane, leaving him too astonished to follow. Throughout the civil war gangs of borsethieves infested the northern middle states, and many a luckless farmer fell a victim to their depredations. The marauders were invariably traced southward; but their booty, swallowed up in the great markets from which the government agents drew supplies, was rarely recovered. Thus it happened that the deputy sheriff of Winnebago county was accustomed to sleep, so to speak, with an eye and an ear open. Late that night, he was roused by an unsteady tapping on his bedroom window. Huddling on his garments, he opened a side door, and was confronted by a ghostlike face. "Aurillar Sargent!" My land a massy! What on earth——" But the apparition scuttled by him and sank into a chair. "Put out your light, Mr. Corcoran, and I'll tell you," she gasped. Then, as the wondering and somewhat scandalized officer compromised by turning his lamp to the faintest glimmer, she added, in a strained whisper: "The gang that run off Myers' and Kelley's horses are holding a meeting in the underground stable of Ross' barn. They're planning another raid." The deputy sheriff sat agape in the dusk. "What—how?" he managed to ejaculate. Then half incredulously: "How'd you know it, for land's sake?" Aurilla shrank nervously. "I—I heard some of them talking about it," she whispered. "They'd kill me if they suspected." Her set, white face hardly expressed fear, the deputy sheriff thought. "State's evidence," he muttered to WILSON 'Get her to help you, then!" she cried hotly. himself. He fumbled in his pocket, and drawing forth a soiled notebook, jotted down something. Then he turned to the crouching figure again. "Could you swear to any of 'em, Aurilly? 'Twon't go no farther than me, unless there's proof." He was looking at her keenly. Aurilia told off three or four familiar names, each of which elicited an exclamation of astonishment or credulous sniff. "Was there any more you knowed by sight?" he queried, as she paused. A hard line grew around Aurilla's shapely lips. Her clasped hands showed ghastly at the knuckles. "Jimmy Connor's promised to take the team to the next station on the underground," she said, in a slow, metallic voice. "He——" She paused sharply, putting one hand to her bare throat; essayed to go on, and then before the deputy sheriff's horrified eyes slipped in a dead faint to the braided rug at her feet. A late July sunset was coloring all M. "So I come, Rilly." .. the outer world in gorgeous tones, when Aurilla woke to life again. Vague, unhappy dreams still haunted her brain as she lay on the clean, unfamiliar little bed. Somewhere back among them a woman's voice had asked, eagerly: "Did they get 'em, Dave?" And a man answered: "Every mother's son of 'em. They're safe this minute, over in Lowell." From that on a black gulf swallowed up Aurilla's consciousness. Oh, that she might have remained in it forever, body and soul! A heavy step trod cautiously outside her door. "Don't excite her," she heard some one charge in a whisper. Then the heavy foot crossed the threshold. With unutterable dread and shrinking in her eyes, Aurilla turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound. Father of good! Was it a vision to mock her? Big, muscular and glowing, the man whom in jealous bitterness she had betrayed to the punishment of his crimes, as she believed, stood there before her, transformed in the blue of his country's service, the light of unspeakable love and anxiety in his eyes. Aurilla gave one startled shriek, burying her face in the pillow as he approached and dropped on his knees beside her. "Rilly! Little girl!" he pleaded, brokenly. "I've waited till the very last minute o' my leave to ask you to forgive an' forget. You won't turn away from me now, will ye?" Slowly she uncovered her face and her stricken eyes met his. "Oh, Jimmy! Jimmy!" she moaned, miserably. "Don't talk of forgiving! 'Twas I that betrayed you, and all because I hated Nettie Ross and her ways with you." Connor laughed tremulously, happily, possessing himself of her thin hand. "We're quits, then, little one." His voice grew grave. "Don't you suppose I knew, Rilly, that you'd never a-helped us but for me? The blame was all mine. But after you ran away from me, that night, I got a-thinkin', an' them words of yourn stuck: I hate it all.' Says I: 'Then I hate it all, too,' for you know I only mentioned Cap's Nettie to coax ye. 'Enlistin' will help me out,' says I, and in the recruitin' camp over at Ladoga, as we went on drill, I heard news of the gang's capture. I got leave an' come back an' went to Corcoran. 'I'm one o' the gang,' says I. He looked queer. 'Well,' says I, 'ain't you going to arrest me?' He looked the queerer. 'Who's a-swearin' out your warrant?' says he. 'I ain't arrestin' nobody without a warrant. You git back to camp.' 'I know it's a bit irregular,' says I. Then he grinned. 'It would be a lot more irregular,' says he, 'for me to kick one o' ole Abe Lincoln's soldiers out o' this office; don't make me do it, Jimmy.' Then he thought a minute, and says he: 'There's a little girl ravin' sick o' fever over to my house. She's talked about you, and a heap o' other things. Better step in and see her, my lad.' So I come, Rilly. I've swore to be an honest man, whether or no. An' when I come back from the war, God sparin' me, which I don't deserve, is it a true little wife I'll find waitin' for me?' Beads of sweat stood around Arilia's lips, but heaven had dawned in her blue eyes. She slipped her other hand weakly into Conner's big, trembling one, and stooping, he sealed her unspoken answer with a kiss. LET HIM HIT THE BALL. Chief Zimmer Tells of Peculiarities of "Pink" Hawley. "I see that some of the boys are telling stories about 'Pink' Hawley," said "Chief" Zimmer the other day. "'Pink' was a great pitcher in his day, and a good fellow, too, albeit he was the queerest man I have ever known in baseball. "One day when he was pitching for Pittsburg the umpire had called two strikes and three balls on me when Hawley started to walk toward his catcher. They were about ten feet from me when 'Pink' said: 'Better let 'Chief' hit it, hadn't we? He's a pretty good fellow.' And sure enough he let me hit the ball. "Another time he walked into my cigar store, and coming up to me said, "Chief," will you forgive me?" "Sure, Pink," I said, though I hadn't the slightest idea what for. I put out my hand and he almost crushed it in the warmth of his gratitude. There had never been a word between us all the years we had been acquainted. "In one game where Pittsburg, with 'Pink' pitching, had us beaten about 9 to 0 in the seventh inning, I came to bat. 'What's your average,' "Chief," Hawley asked. "About 149, I guess," was my reply. "Well, boost it a little,' he said, as he floated up one breast high. I hit in against the fence and scored Cleveland's one and only run."—Cleveland Press. Fitzsimmons on Courage. Bob Fitzsimmons, who recently gave President Roosevelt a silver horse-shoe, does not believe that moral is greater than physical courage. "Moral courage is no finer than the other sort," he said. "Sometimes I half believe it is not as fine. Well, I don't drink, and I don't find it half as hard to let rum alone as it is to pitch in and whip a big, ugly, two-hundred pound man. "So, when these pale, narrow-chested chaps tell me it takes more courage to refuse to fight than to fight, I laugh to myself and say nothing. "I gave one of these moral courage chaps a sly dig the other day, though. I don't know whether he noticed it or not. I hope he did. But maybe it was too subtle for him. "He said to me: "Would you call a man a coward because he won't fight?" said to him, smiling a little: "I said, if I was quite sure he would." The Camp Was Lost Senator McLaurin, while walking through the long basement corridor at Washington, encountered a frenzied woman. "I am lost, I am lost," she cried. "Please show me the way out of this horrid building." The senator very courteously pointed the way, after inquiring where she wished to go. "It reminds me," said he to his companion, "of an incident down in the Mississippi woods. A negro lumberman became lost in the immense forest and could not find his way back to camp. A searching party finally located him wandering about. "Are you lost?" asked one of the rescuers. "Lost, boss; no, 'deed, sar,' was his reply, 'but dat camp am lost.'" Gen. Chaffee Is Materialistic. Gen. Chaffee has very little faith in the spiritualistic manifestations given at seances. One of his younger officers had attended a seance and was describing the events that occurred to his chief. "Oh, what nonsense!" interrupted the general. "What do you young follows waste your time like that for? How many fools, including yourself, were at the seance, anyway?" The young officer took exception to the wording of the remark and was quite indignant. "Oh, I didn't mean to reflect on you," continued the general. "What I meant to ask was how many fools were there without counting yourself." Money in Handling Old Cordage. Money in Handling Old Cordage. There is money in handling bits of old string and rope and there are several large dealers in these commodities in London. Thousands of dollars are made by buying and selling old fishing nets alone; but this is a mere bagatelle to the cash that is turned over in handling of old cordage at the docks. When it is stated that the cordage—not including the fitting—of a large sailing vessel costs from $10,000 to $15,000, and that this has to be constantly renewed. It will be seen that an enormous trade must be carried on in this particular department. The Valley Road. The Valley Road. At eventide I shade my eyes And peer into the west. We went down to the shining plain, And round each wooded crest. The highroad goes the sunset way, Upon the endless quest. Full many a traveler I have seen (And one was passing fair) Go down the valley from my door, and swiftly vanish there. Somewhere along their path, And lightened some of care. One day I doe shall take my staff And down the valley go For one who went was passing fair, And waits for me, I know, And I shall shd her—O my soul! Hurried to the sunset glow! -James Owen Tryon in New England Magazine. MISS BULL RECOVERS FEARFUL DECLINE OF STRENGTH COMPLETELY ARRESTED. Medical Skill Had Almost Exhausted Itself in Vain Attempts to Relieve Her-A Remarkable Result. The recovery of Miss Gertrude L. Bull is of great interest to the medical world. A very bad cough followed a severe attack of pneumonia. It seemed impossible to break it up or to restore her strength, which had been sadly understrained. In spite of the best efforts of the doctors and the use of several advised modes of treatment her condition daily grew more serious. She finally discontinued all medicine and gave herself up to despair. "What was your condition at this time?" she was asked. "My stomach was so weak I could not keep food down. I suffered from constant nausea. My kidneys were in terrible condition. My feet and ankles were swollen so badly that it pained me even to stand on them. I was very billions. My heart was in bad shape so I could not go up and down stairs or stand any exertion or sleep in a natural position." "It seems a wonder that you should ever have recovered. How did it happen?" "You may well call it a marvel, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills wrought it. None of my friends thought I could live many months longer. My parents had no hope. Just then a pamphlet advertising Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People was thrown in our door. It was a great event for me. These pills saved me from the grave. Within a week from the time I began to take them I felt better, and in three months I was entirely well. I cannot praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills too highly and I dearly hope that my experience may bring good to some other sufferers." Miss Bull, who was so remarkably tired, resides at Union Grove, Illinois, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act immediately on the blood, purifying and enriching it. In all debilitating diseases, such as lung troubles, grip, fevers, and in all cases in which the system is thoroughly run down, these pills perform wonders.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-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 12-oz. 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 annoyance of the iron sticking.

The bakers make a special loaf of unusual length, and this being placed in the cutting machine, emerges in the shape of nicely cut slices, all of the same size and thickness. A little apparatus designed to do the same work, as far as the quality of the slicing is concerned, is shown herewith. It is meant for ordinary A nucusenold use, where there is no demand for speed in the operation. By its use it is impossible to make anything but a number of slices, all of the same thickness and all of a nice, clean, straight cut. The hinged walls of the apparatus, between which the loaf of bread is held are cut at regular intervals and the knife is drawn back and forth through one of these after the other. The manufacturers have provided these machines with the cuts at different distances, so that the housekeeper may have the particular cut which suits her best. Heat Coil In Bedclothes: A real up to date invention which n a great measure fills the place of the ancient warming pan has recently been made the subject of a patent issue. This new device goes further, however, for it not only heats the bed when desired, but also on other occasions cools it. While the apparatus is suitable for the purposes of the ordinary bedroom, it is more particularly designed for the hospital or sick room, where it may be desired to subject the patient to a higher or lower temperature. The construction consists of a framework of tubing inclosing the mattress and supplied with suitable valves for the passage of the cooling or heating medium. These pipes being filled with a heating or cooling material, a very considerable change of temperature under the covers may be secured, but where it is desired in hospital work, for instance, to subject the patient to a very decided change the invention contemplates the use of a double-walled cover, through which the liquid may flow by a suitable attachment to a pipe framework. Filled with ice water, this will bring about a marked change in the temperature of a fever patient. FOR THE HOME SCIENTIST. Ink for Stone or Marble.—Ink for use on stone or marble is made by dissolving Trinidad asphaltum in oil of turpentine, using equal parts of each. This is used in a melted state for filling in letters cut on tomstones, marble slabs, etc. It is very durable. Dextrine Paste.—Dextrine paste will adhere to glass. In hot water dissolve a sufficient quantity of dextrine to bring it to the consistency of honey. This forms a strong adhesive paste that will keep a long time unchanged if the water is not allowed to evaporate. Fire-proof Cement.—A very good fire-proof cement, suitable for stoves, is made from iron filings, 180 parts; lime, 45 parts, and common salt, 8 parts. These are worked into a paste with strong vinegar. The cement must be perfectly dry before being heated. By heating it becomes as hard as stone. Sperm Candles.—Sperm candles are made from spermaceti, the waxy matter obtained mixed with oil from the head of the sperm whale. The spermaceti is purified by draining off the oil and repeatedly washing the residue with hot water and weak boiling potash lye. For making candles it is usually combined with five per cent of beeswax to prevent crystallization. The candles are made in the same way as other mould candles. Manifold Paper.—What is known as manifold or carbon paper is prepared by saturating fine unglazed paper with the following mixture? Tallow. 2 ounces; graphite in finest powder, $ \frac{1}{2} $ ounce; linseed oil, $ \frac{1}{4} $ pint; lampblack, sufficient to make the mixture of the consistence of cream. Melt and rub together in a mortar. Another formula is ten parts of lard and one part of wax, with sufficient finely powdered lampblack to make a mixture of the proper consistency. Saturate the paper with this, remove the excess and press $300 FOR LETTERS ABOUT THE SOUTHWEST. The Conditions Are Easy.

"I was troubled with a severe scalp humor and loss of hair that gave me a great deal of annoyance and inconvenience. After unsuccessful efforts with many remedies and so-called hair tonics, a friend induced me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The humor was cured in a short time, my hair was restored as healthy as ever, and I can gladly say I have since been entirely free from any further annoyance. I shall always use Cuticura Soar and I keep the Ointment on hand to use as a dressing for the hair and scalp. (Signed) Fredk Busche, 213 East 57th St., New York City."

BAD STOMACH Attended with tainted, offensive, or foul breath, bitter taste, especially in the morning, furred tongue, slick or billious headaches, poor or irregular appetite, sour stomach, water brash, constipation, tearing, tearing, or despondency, are all relieved and radically cured by the faithful use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. No man can be stronger than his stomach; when it gets out of order he becomes billed, and "out of sorts"; he feels languid, tired and "all fagged out." Nothing will more specially or permanently invigorate and tone into action, liver and bowels than Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is compounded from the use of the medicinal plant, traced from native medicinal plants, without the use of alcohol, not a drop of which enters into its composition. The benefit felt from its use is not, therefore, due to alcoholic exhilation, and consequence, but is enduring and permanent. The great majority of diseases have their inception in a bad stomach, indigestion, billiousness and impure blood. Among these diseases are deadly consumption, nerve-racking, brain-wrecking nervous prostration and exhaustion, body-torturing rheumatism, insanity-breeding neuralgia, emaculating malaria, nervous prostration and exhaustion, skin diseases. Dr. Pierre's Golden Medical Discovery is a cure for all these diseases, if taken in anything like reasonable time. It is not a cure-all, but cures the diseases mentioned for the reason that they are caused and aggravated by the same disorders. It makes the appetite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and builds firm flesh and healthy nerve fiber. Don't be wheedled by a penny-grabbing dealer into taking something else said to be "just as good" than that said to be "just as good" profit. There's nothing "just as good" as "Golden Medical Discovery," with its record of cures extending over a third of a century.

A provincial theater in the east of Scotland is being tormented and amused at intervals by a wit among the gallery gods who insists on keeping up a running commentary on the play. He has enlivened many a dull piece by his droll interpolations, but he has also come pretty near ruining many an intensely dramatic or sentimental situation by the sudden and always apropos qualities of his interruptions. He has a high pitched, penetrating voice, and the town police, who have been on the verge of ejecting him a dozen times, say that he was a Glasgow cab driver who retired with a competence and now takes this wily to give play to a wit that was once famous in the great city. On one occasion a dreary mei-drama was being presented. The heroine of the play, pursued by the villain, had taken refuge in the house of her lover, who, as the hero of the play, was of course, at variance with his sweetheart's parents. The exigencies of the plot required that the irate father, sword in hand and at the head of his faithful retainers, should track the girl to the gates of the hero's treacherous and disgraceful elopement, enter the room where the scared heroine had been secreted under the table. "Wretch!" cried the furious father, "your life shall answer for this. I demand my child. Where is she." Then, shrill and startling in the expectant silence, from the gallery came the answer: "Unner the table, ye dinged lout! Dinna ye see her slipper stickin' out?" The house was in a tumult of merriment in a moment, but it was the "angry father" himself, who ruined the situation, for he burst into immoderate laughter and the curtain fell in the middle of the act, to rise again upon an audience that could not repress its risibles for the rest of the evening. HE WANTED A MORTGAGE. Swede's Experience With a Deed Had Taught Him Caution. Halvor Steenerson, Congressman from Minnesota, tells a story of a Swede who went to that state from one of the Dakotas for the purpose of buying a farm. A land agent acted as guide and informant to the Swede, who eventually found what he wanted. When the time came to make out the necessary papers, the agent asked the Swede what method he preferred to adopt in making payments. "Ay pay all. Ay haf da money," replied the Swede. "No!" "suddenly exclaimed the Swede. "Ay no want deed!" "Why, yes, you do!" rejoined the agent, astonished. "You pay the money and you take a deed for the farm." "No, no!" earnestly asseverated the Swede. "Ay no want deed! Ay had deed oop in Dakota. Ay pay man da money. He gif me deed. Ay gif heem mortgage. Ay tak land. By en by he get land, he get deed, he haf da money. Dees time Ay want no deed; Ay want mortgage. Ay pay da money; you gif me mortgage!"—The Sunday Magazine. Getting Posted. "I would like to ask you a question if you don't mind," said the old man in the street car to the man on his right. "Go ahead, sir." "I should like to know the meaning of the term 'History repeats itself.' I come across it most every day. How does history repeat itself? "That's easily answered," said the other. "For instance, if you should ask me what I thought of the weather I should tell you to go and be hanged to you. If we should meet a month hence and you asked me the same question over again my reply would be the same." "I think I see—I think I do," mused the old man, as he leaned back and crossed his feet. "Yes, I guess I understand, and I want to tell you that you are a durned mean jackass of a man and that history is going to repeat itself every blamed time I run across you for the next ten years to come."—Chicago News.

He rejected some of the best verse of my friends. Why he is an editor I can't imagine. He certainly has no critical sense. "I indicated this to him one day. He had announced to me that he was going to get married. He had praised the lady of his choice ardently, declaring her to be a poem. "‘A poem?’ said I. "‘A poem,’ he repeated. "‘And still you do not reject her?’ (exclaimed.) Winter Soft as the plumes of sleep drifts down The pure white silence of the snow The bells make merry in the town, Where happy faces come and go. The brooding quiet of the trees, Is broken sweet, in yonder glen. Bv "day, day day," of cheekades And keen, sweet song of winter wren. Of glowing days some magic word Is wrubbed when the groseks sing; And in the moaning pines is heard The whisper of returning spring. This is the birthday of the year. Nam aa of ouremum is taut start; And lo; the very warm grows dear. The wildest storm wind warms the heart. — B. Brunbaugh, in Field and Stream. A PLACE OF ENDURING CHARM. Physical Features of the Everglades of a Beauty Beyond Description No description of the physical features of the Everglades can possibly convey any true idea of their beauty and their charm. Both are indescribable and indefinable, yet the one is as clear as the sunlight which brings it into view, the other as keen as the touch of an awakening love. Both charm and beauty blend in a strange, sweet sense of mystery, which even one least responsive to this new mood of nature canot possibly escape. As far as the vision can compass, grasses of gold wave over fields of silver, reaching away to a sky-line o feebal blue. Green islands, so dreamlike that they seem to float in the tremulous sea of a sleep just ready to waken, open arms of welcome to their enchanting shadows. Across the matchless blue of a summer sky the children of the storm chase each other in scudding clusters of feathery cloud; but they are only children at play, for at their worst they break into soft showers which seem to have no purpose save to make broken bits of rainbow and to add a little to the sum of the life that is everywhere. For life is everywhere in this enchanted region, where earth and water and air, plant and tree and sky, all seem to quiver and throb with its birth-three. The edge of an active crater compels the thought of the suppressed anguish of creating nature; the smoking sea at early dawn suggests the menace of death held in the leash of life; the desert and the prairie tell of a life which, though it has passed, still lingers on the edges of its old arena. But here, in the lake of mystery, with its islands of enchantment and its untold story, life is alive. Over it all and through it broods that informing spirit of the essential life which is the heart of all things. Here one pardons—even applauds—the Spaniard, who so often gave the sacred name to the unhallowed object. What the Dentist Says. Toledo, Ohio, March 27th—(Special.) —Harry T. Lewis, the well known dentist of 607 Sumit street, this city, is telling of his remarkable cure of Kidney Disease by using Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I was flat on my back and must say I had almost given up all hope of ever getting any help," says Dr. Lewis. "My kidneys had troubled me for years. The pains in my back were severe and I had to get up several times at night. I tried different medicines but kept on getting worse till I was laid up. "Then a friend advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and in about two weeks I started to improve. Now I am glad to admit I am cured and I cannot praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly." If you take Dodd's Kidney Pills when your kidneys first show signs of being out of order you will never have Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Gravel or Rheumatism. When trouble calls most men seem to be hanging around home expecting it. Salzer's Home Builder Corn. So named because 50 acres produced so heavily, that its proceeds built a lovely home.

I spent hundreds of dollars and consulted a host of doctors, but neither did me any good. "Peruma has proven the best medicine I ever used. My pain is gone and I believe myself to be cured. I feel well and would not be without a bottle in time of need for ten times its cost." Hundreds of war veterans have kidney and bladder trouble. Impure drinking water, sleeping on the ground, and all manner of exposures to wet and cold weather produced catarrh of the kidneys and bladder. DRAUGHON'S PRACTICAL BUSINESS CATALOGUE FREE. Add. J.
