FLEETS COMPARED While Czar Has More Battleships Mikado Goes Him Better on Swift Cruisers and Effective Torpedo Boats: In view of the impending battle between the Russian and Japanese fleets, the following comparison as to strength will be found interesting: Russia—Battleships, seven; armored cruisers and armored coast defense vessels, two; protected cruisers, eleven; transports and converted liners (estimated), twenty. Japan—Battleships, four or five; armored cruisers and armored coast defense vessels, ten; protected cruisers, twelve; transports and converted liners (estimated), ten. Total—Russia, 50; Japan, 36 or 37. The exact strength of the two fleets in guns cannot be told exactly, because the armament of the Russian volunteer fleet and of the twenty odd transports is not known in detail. But in a general way the following estimate $ _{6} $ will show the relative strength of the squadrons: Russia—12-inch guns, 24; 10-inch guns, four; 8-inch guns, eight; 6-inch guns, 150 to 200; smaller guns (estimated at 30 for battleships and 15 for all other vessels), 675; total 911. Japan—12-inch guns, 22 to 26; 10-inch guns, five; 8-inch guns, 34; 6-inch guns, 190; smaller guns (estimated at 30 for battleships and 15 for all other vessels), 630; total 885. Total guns, both fleets, 1,796. In this table it will be seen that the Russians have the advantage in numbers, but are so deficient in armored cruisers that they stand a very poor show against the Japanese fleet. The ten swift, well-armed and well-manned armored cruisers which Togo has constitute, possibly, a more formidable fighting unit than his four or five more heavily armed and armored battleships. During the Spanish-American war the 8-inch rifles with which these cruisers are armed were even more effective than the 12 or 13-inch guns. The latter, of course, do more damage, but they are slower, harder to aim and register a much smaller number of hits than the former. However, the 6-inch rifle is also a wonderfully effective arm and the Russian auxiliary cruisers, converted liners and transports are probably crowded with them. An exact estimate of the strength of the two fleets in respect to this gun is, therefore, impossible. In protected and auxiliary cruisers; the Russians have the advantage. Their scout vessels of from 3,500 to 6,600 tons, are new, very fast and very effective, as the little Novik proved at Port Arthur. In a battle they are everywhere, and nowhere and can brave a heavy fire with surprising impunity. ROCKY DUPLICATES GIFT. Standard Oil King .Offers .Another $100,000 for Missions. An offer by John D. Rockefeller to give the second hundred thousand to the Baptist Missionary Union was received at the headquarters of that union in Boston. On Saturday the union received a check for $100,000 from Mr. Rockefeller, the amount representing Mr. Rockefeller's customary annual donation to the Baptist society to be used for the people conducting the missionary work in foreign fields. The contribution was at once accepted and acknowledged. The offer received Monday from Mr. Rockefeller specified that 'the money, if accepted, is to be applied to the upbuilding' of the missionary plants from the running expenses of the society and salaries for clergymen. PROFESSOR ACCUSED OF ARSON. Dunlap Arrested and Held for Burn- ing a Texas Institution. Professor T. R. Dunlap, who has been vice president of Jarvis college at Thorp Springs, Texas, has been arrested at Fort Worth on a charge of arson. On the night of March 20 the main building of the college was burned without loss of life, and with no apparent reason for the fire. President Dunlap, who was formerly president of the college, was suspect- ed, it is alleged, and his arrest followed. He is 52 years of age and has a family. MITCHELL ARRAIGNED. Oregon Senator Haled to Court on Charge of Working Graft Game Against Uncle Sam. Judge Bellinger's court at Portland, Oregon, was crowded Tuesday when the time arrived for Senator John H. Mitchell to plead to four indictments found against him by the late federal grand jury. In a plea of abatement Senator Mitchell challenged the acts of the late federal grand jury by charging specifically that Jurors W) Robertson and Carl Phelps, the original foreman and secretary, respectively, had been legally excused for the term pending investigation; that Jurors Frank G. Buffum and George Peebler had been sworn in some time after the grand jury had been empanelled; that Juror George Gustin was not a citizen of the United States; that Jurors Frank Bolter and Joseph Essner were not taxpayers, as required by the law, and that District Attorney Heney was disqualified in many ways besides being prejudiced. The plea of abatement was based on the case wherein Senator Mitchell is accused of accepting pay through the law firm of Mitchell & Tanner, to expedite land titles before the land department at Washington, in behalf of Frederick A. Kribs. Judge Alfred S. Bennett,a s attorney for Senator Mitchell, announced that there was a question of moral turpitude involved in the case, where Senator Mitchell is accused of accepting $2,000 from A. D. Puter and therefore he would waive all legal technicalities and be ready to proceed to trial without delay upon the issues at stake. Judge Alfred S. Bennett, as attorney not guilty for the senator in three of the cases against him, two for conspiracy and one for accepting mone) while holding the position of United States senator to expedite title before the land department. W. H. Stelwer, president; H. H. Hendricks, secretary and treasurer; C. B. Zachary, general manager, and C. E. Glass, bookkeeper of the Butte Creek Land, Live'Stock and Lumber company, entered pleas in abatement similar to that of Senator Mitchell, the charges against them being conspiracy to cover the public domain. District Attorney Heney objected to the pleas in abatement on the ground of their being filed too late. Proceedings were here postponed until Friday. NEWS FROM THE CHASE. President Sees Champion Wolf Catcher Do His Favorite Act. One of "President Roosevelt's expressed desires has been gratified. He has seen John Abernathy, said to be the champion wolf catcher of the world, in his unique way kill a coyote and bear it victoriously to the nation's chief executive. Abernathy's favorite dog, "Cannon Ball," led the first big race of the four days' event Monday morning, and captured the first wolf in the chase. Abernathy leaped from his horse, and, with heavily gloved hands, selzed the prostrate animal's jaws, lifted it in his arms and smiling delivered it to the president. SENATOR AND SHERIFF SHOT. Former Dead and Latter Thought to Be Fatally Wounded. State Senator R. L. Hipp, an attorney, was shot and instantly killed and Deputy Sheriff J. H. Dunlap was so badly wounded that it is thought he will die, by John W. Williams, twenty miles east of Cullman, Ala., Tuesday. The officers had gone to the Hipp place to oust Williams from a tract of land which he lost in a lawsuit. When the men approached the house Williams shot Hipp in the head, killing him instantly, and shot Deputy Dunlap through the breast. Williams remained in the house whistling, and said he would stay there until he died. A posse of forty or fifty men went from Cullman to the scene with vehicles to bring back the dead and wounded. Williams is a man of large family and is about fifty years of age. CANNOT NATURALIZE JAPS. Immigration Agent In Texas to Cancel Paners Hitherto Issued. Federal District Attorney McLemore at Houston, Texas, has been instructed by Agent VanDusen of the immigration bureau to take such steps as may be necessary to cancel the naturalization papers hitherto issued to Japanese at Houston and Galveston. VanDusen specifically declares that the Japanese may not be naturalized. Attorney McLemore has referred the matter to the attorney general for a ruling before taking any steps. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 15 1905. WILL PUSH WORK Engineer Wallace Talks of Progress on Big Ditch. Laborers Coming In Daily and Excavation on Culebra Cut Well Under Way—Final Plans Yet to Be Selected. John F. Wallace, chief engineer of the isthmian canal, whose salary is $100,000 a year, said, in an interview at Washington Tuesday, that there are now practically 5,000 men engaged under his direction on the engineering and construction work of the canal. The work of installing an American plant at Culebra is going forward as fast as the machinery and supplies can be secured on the isthmus, and when Mr. Wallace left there were six American steam shovels at work in the Culebra excavation, and arrangements have been made to install additional machines at the rate of two a month. During the last ninety days laborers have been coming in freely, from Costa Rica, Jamaica and Barbados. The health of the young Americans on the isthmus is particularly good. There has been very little sickness, and comparatively few fatalities have resulted. Those that have occurred generally have been of persons who have led improper lives, or who have been affected with some functional disorder. The employees, from the states have been remarkably free from fever. The work of installation of the plant and the organization of the force at Culebra is advancing rapidly, and each month the output of material is increasing. The work of the sanitary department is beginning to show very positive results. The water supply for the city of Panama will be available by July 1. Water supply systems also are being installed at various points along the line of the canal work. Several large hotels for the accommodation of the Americans are nearly completed, and Mr. Wallace states that it will be only a matter of a few months now before life on the isthmus will have practically all the comforts and conveniences that are obtainable in the states on a large work of this character. The employees are becoming more and more contented as conditions are improved, and there has continued to be a steady accession to the force. Mr. Wallace says that every additional month he is permitted to continue his investigation and experimental work, the more reliable will be the data available for use in deciding on a plan for the canal. He also emphasizes the statement that thus far he has not committed himself to any definite plan beyond his official recommendations to the former isthmian canal commission. He takes the ground that no plan should be adopted which would prevent the ultimate and economical construction of a sea level canal, should such be decided on at any stage of the work, or even after the canal has been constructed. In the event that the expert engineers who will be called on to recommend a plan decide that it would be feasible from a physical and engineering standpoint to construct either a sea level canal, or one at a higher level, Mr. Wallace says then the decision will resolve itself into one of general national policy and not one of engineering. In answer to a question as to the necessity of an immediate, decision by the commission, Mr. Wallace said that it would require about two years to manufacture and install the necessary machinery to complete the excavation for a canal at a sixty foot level, work which would be necessary in any event. During this period ample time will be afforded for investigation and thorough analysis of all the elements or factors that go to make up the problem as a whole. THE SMITHS IN NEW YORK. Man and Wife Abandon Their Fight Against Extradition. J. Morgan Smith and his wife, who have been indicted together with Nan Patterson, on a charge of conspiring to obtain money from Caesar Young, the bookmaker in connection with whose death the Patterson girl is also under indictment, arrived in New York Tuesday night. Smith and his wife were arrested in Cincinnati. Monday they abandoned their fight against extradition and started for New York in the custody of officers. 19. UP TO THE FARMER. A Reduction of Acreage and Fertilizer an Absolute Necessity. The agricultural department of Alabama and other states show in recent reports that the sale of fertilizer tags in Alabama during the season of 1904-1905 shows an increase of 1,000 tons over the season of 1903-1904. The commissioner of agriculture of Georgia has issued a similar report in which he shows that the sales of fertilizer tags in Georgia this season exceed those of last year by more than 500 tons. "These reports," says M. L. Johnson, president of the Georgia division of the Southern Cotton Association, "put the cotton situation right up to the farmer, in order for the purposes of the association to be carried out, it is absolutely necessary for the farmer to reduce his cotton acreage and the amount of fertilizer used. "I say the situation is up to the farmer, because it is the farmer who will suffer if the crop is not reduced. Without a reduction, the price of cotton will be lower than the cost of production, and the farmer will find himself in debt. With a low price this year, the interests of the entire south will suffer." "The farmers of Georgia must reduce their acreage. Let it not be said of Georgia that she did not join heart and soul in the movement which means the salvation of the southern cotton grower." "QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY." Women Discuss Observations of Presid-ident Anent "Race Suicide." The observations of President Roosevelt on the question of race suicide received the attention of some of the prominent delegates to the National Council of Women in session at Washington. Some of them take issue with the president on this subject, and say he should look to the women of his own social set for race suicide. "It is the pace set by our society women particularly in official life," one of the delegates declared, "which makes race suicide a subject for profound thought. The women of the submerged half, as we call it, do not practice race suicide. It is the business burdened, the determined to get rich-faster and the society crazy mother who refuse the cares of parenthood." A resolution was reported on the question of parenthood, taking issue with the president's views on the question of race suicide, and declared that "quality, not quantity," of children is preferable. Rev, Anna Howard Shaw, the president of the National Woman's Suffrage Association, spoke her mind on the question of parenthood, saying, in part: "It is said that woman should rear more children, but I say that you must first make your country fit to rear children in. We need to make this world safe for children. To do so we must give them social heredity, so that they will be born in safe conditions and protected until grown. This cannot be done until women have rights in the state to protect them." NECESSARY VOTES RECEIVED. Cumberland and Northern Presbyterian Churches Will Be United. Cumberland Presbyterian headquarters at Nashville announced Wednesday that the proposition for union with the Northern Presbyterian church has received the requisite 58 votes, with others of the 114 Presbyteries of the Cumberland Presbyterian church yet to hear from. The deciding vote was cast by the Pennsylvania Presbyterian presbytery. It is said that the Northern Presbyterian church is voting for union in the ratio of 10 to 1. It has already settled the question of separate presbyteries for negroes. The general assemblies of both churches will meet on May 17, the Cumberland Presbyterians in Fresno, Calif., and the Presbyterians in Winona Lawe, Ind. The votes will be declared in both. Friends of union, however, do not expect that union will be actually perfected in less than two years, considerable time being required to perfect the details. Transactions of Equitable Assurance Society Under Investigation. A complete record of all the financial transactions of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York, its relations to other corporations and a full list of the society's employees, including all of its officers, together with a statement of the salaries and emoluments received by them, is asked of the society's president, James W. Alexander, in a letter sent to him by Henry C. Frick, chairman of the investigation committee. MOB KILLS SHERIFF Official Gave Life to Prevent Liberation of Prisoner FOUR MEN UNDER ARREST Foul Tragedy in Sanatobia, Miss., Arouses Intense Indignation and Lynching Spirit Manifested Against Perpetrators. At an early hour Wednesday morning Sheriff J. M. Poag of Tate county, Miss., was shot and killed by a mob of masked men who entered the jail at Sanatobia for the purpose of liberating James Whit, a white prisoner, who is soon to be placed on trial, on a charge of murder. The mob, which consisted of six or eight men, reached the jail at three o'clock in the morning and gained an entrance before Sheriff Poag was aware of its intention. The sheriff demanded that the men leave the jail, and was met with a firm refusal, whereupon the officer fired, wounding one man. The mob then fired on the sheriff, two bullets taking effect, one passing through the left lung. The members of the mob then beat a hasty retreat, taking their wounded companion with them. Sheriff Poag lingered until 6 o'clock Wednesday morning, when he died. Four Under Arrest. A later dispatch says: Four members of the sexette of masked men that entered the jail at Senatobla and killed Sheriff J. M. Poag have been captured by a deputy sheriff's posse. The streets of Senatobla are thronged with crowds of citizens, and trouble, it is feared, will occur. The entire countryside has been greatly stirred and feeling runs high against the members of the mob that perpetrated the crime. Residents of outlying towns and farms-flocked to Senatobla in considerable numbers and the city Wednesday night was aflame with excitement. Sam Howell, who is alleged to have been a member of the masked sextette, was wounded by the sheriff, it is said, in his fight with the jail stormers, and is one of the men captured by the deputy sheriff's posse. Howell, it is reported, had concealed himself in the cabin of a negro near the town of Strayhorn, being unable to accompany his companions in their preepitate flight. APOPLEXY TAKES LAWYER. Hon. Washington Dessau Drops Dead In Georgia Supreme Courtroom. Washington Dessau of Macon, one of the ablest and most prominent members of the Georgia bar, died suddenly Wednesday morning in the chambers of the supreme court, at Atlanta, while he was arguing a case. His death was due to an attack of apoplexy, which seized him while he was in the midst of a discussion with members of the supreme bench relative to a certain point he had raised. In ten minutes after being attacked the lawyer was dead. Mr. Dessau's death was one of the most dramatic scenes ever enacted in a courtroom in Georgia. He had just addressed the court and called attention to a section of the code bearing on the case of which he was talking. Justice Cobb had asked the attorney a question or two, and this evidently pleased him. "I enjoy," said Mr. Dessau, "this method of arguing a case. I like for the court to ask me questions. If I am wrong, I will see it. It is the friction of two minds that causes the spark of truth to scintillate," and as he gave expression to the last thought the lawyer sank into the chair just behind him. He was dead inside of ten minutes. The suddenness of the attack took everyone in the courtroom by surprise. A second before sinking into his chair, Mr. Dessau was the picture of vigorous health. Information reached Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Tuesday of the assassination of Stewart Champion, manager of the Jed Strong plantation, Champion was sitting before the fire, holding his baby in his arms, when a shot was fired through the window, causing his death. The baby was slightly wounded in the feet. Dogs, placed on the trail went to a house, occupied by John Carpenter and Bob Robinson, colored farm laborers, and they are now in fall. Merchant at Olney, Georgia Slain Be Fore Wife, and Children. M. L. Parker, of Olney, Ga., was shot and almost instantly killed Saturday night about 11 o'clock. He lived only about two hours. His wife and two small children were in the room when the tragedy occurred. Mr. Parker was preparing to retire when, without warning, the murderer, unseen, fired a load of buckshot through the window penetrating Mr. Parker in the hips. Mr. Parker was a large planter and also a merchant. He has just come from his store, and was getting ready to retire when he was shot. SOLICITUDE FOR, PRESIDENT Special Prayer for His Safety. Gaplaim Bradford of the Illinois house of representatives at the opening of the legislature's session Tuesday offered a prayer for the safety of President Roosevelt on the hunting trip through the west and southwest. He drew a picture of the dangers into which the president was going and prayed for his safe return. WARSHIP MINNESOTA LAUNCHED New Vessel of Navy Makes Successful Plunge Into Her Element. The battleship Minnesota was successfully launched at the plant of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company Saturday. The vessel was christened by Miss Rose Marie Schaller, daughter of State Senator Schaller of Hastings, Minn. A luncheon followed, at which toasts were responded to. OBJECTION TO JAP MINERS. All the Japanese miners at Browns Valley, a small mining town in California, have been summarily ordered to leave camp. A few of them wont there recently to work on the dump at the mines, but the white people objected to their presence and a committee waited on them with the firm request that they depart immediately, which they did.

Could Not Shut Eyes to Sleep—Forty Bolts on Head—spent $100 on Doctors —Baby Grew Worse—Cured by Cuticura For $5. "A scab formed on my baby's face, spreading until it completely covered her from head to foot, followed by boils, having forty on her head at one time and more on her body. Then her skin started to dry up and it became so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One month's treatment with Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment made a complete cure. Doctors and medicines had cost over $100, with baby growing worse. Then we spent less than $5 for Cuticura and cured her. (Signed) Mrs. G. H. Tucker, Jr., 335 Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, Wis."

A Battle With Polar Bears cruel story told by a veteran whaler. -How the whaling crew went in search of a whale they had killed, only to find the carecars in possession of a dozen ferocious Polar bears! The battle royal that ensued was a most exciting affair. N the pursuit of the arduous calling of Arctic whaling the crews of whaling ships are often called upon to face extraordinary hazards,eldom, however, after killing their whale, are they obliged to wrest their body from a troop of ravenous Polar bears, angrily dispensing possession of their prize. The thrilling-story of such an unparalleled encounter was marred to me under the following circumstances: It was a lovely evening in June when we swung clear of Port-au-aux-Basques Harbor, and, catching a light land breeze, steered northwards towards the coasts of Labrador. Our craft was a smart Nora Scotia-built schooner of about a hundred and fifty tons, and our crew were picked from a settlement of the nearest modern representatives of the old Norsemen—the sturdy Notwithstanding this hard and perilous mode of life his character had been fashioned into a hearty admiration of this awful beauty, grandeur and terror of the great Arctic solitude. Like many others of his class, he was captivated by the fascinating glamor which the Arctic casts like a spell upon those who have once penetrated its mysteries. An opportunity came to listen to the tale of his varled exploits when suddenly one afternoon the wind grew light, and we ran into a heavy smoke-like bank of grey fog which obscured all around us. When at length we emerged there was no breath of wind. The sun beat down on a sea motionless and becalmed. At this moment, to my great delight; Harry, pulling at his blackened clay pipe, tainting the balmy sea air with pungent odors, seated himself at my side and told me the following tale of a strange adventure that befell him in the Far North: It was in Lancaster Sound, on board the good ship Aurora, that I found myself in the summer of 1896. We were after "right" whales, and had already taken five on this voyage. While nearly all our casks were full to bursting with oil, we had room to stow away the blumber of yet another curses. This the crew were anxious to accomplish as speedily as possible, for after a nightless period, the sun was now beginning to dip each day below the horizon for a few hours at a stretch, and cool fitful northwesters were giving warning of the approach of winter. If only we could secure our booty and turn our course to the south, "with the Newfoundland girls pulling at the tow-rope," as the saying is in the foe'sle, everyone would be happy. For although the seafarer, wherever you find him, cannot remain content ashore for long, one of the greatest of all the pleasures of his calling is the return home with a pocket full of coin after a successful voyage. A good Greenland or Arctic "right" whale is worth a lot of money. "Right" whales are those producing whalebone, and a good specimen is worth at least six hundred to seven hundred pounds. There are other large whales which we let alone—the "finners" or orquales, and even the giant "blue whales," as the biggest of them are not worth one-tenth part of the value of the "right" whale. Of late these valuable prizes, as well as the "sperm" whale, are getting scarce, but in those days they were abundant. Each man was sure to come home with a snug little sum to his credit, what with wages and his share of the "bounty," as the men's narrow percentage of interest in the net profits is termed. "There she blows!" All hearts fairly throbbed for joy as the look-out from the "crow's nest" cheerly shouted the glad news of an enormous "right" whale sighted against the sun in the offing. Blithely the ropes sang out through the tackle-blocks while the men took their places, and as the little flotilla of boats darted away with alacrity from the black sides of the great ship, like so many arrows shot from a bow, a strange gleam came into the men's eyes, and their bronzed faces relaxed in a smile as if they already anticipated their triumph. They made towards a spot where at intervals of from ten to fifteen minutes a white column of spray was seen to shoot high in the air from the extremity of a black rolling mass which glittered in the sun's rays like wet indulnubar. My boat led, and all hands gave me a cheer when I threw the harpoon, which with a heavy thud embedded itself deeply behind the huge central fin of the mighty whale. Those were the "good old days" of whaling. Before the craft was made comparatively easy by modern methods; be After the stroke the whale suddenly headed away from the boats, sent up an enormous jet of water and blood some twenty feet in the air, lashed the water-into foam with a terrible flurry of his gigantic tall, and then suddenly dipped beneath the surface of the ocean. To such a vast depth did he plunge in his agony of pain and fright that two boats were compelled to join their lines to ours; and three times he dived, staying under nearly twenty minutes on each occasion, before we could get near enough to lance him in a vital part. Unfortunately, as he sped away he drew on the boats towards a large field of ice known to be in the vicinity before it was actually sighted, because of the extraordinary coldness perrading the atmosphere. As the custom is with a wounded whale, he made to get under the lee in hot haste. The only chance for success was to finish him before he disappeared beneath the floe. He would have to come up once more to breathe before he could dive beneath the ice-floor, and we got ready to dispatch him. Soon the line began to grow slack, and up, up he came with startling speed. For a few minutes there was an awful flurry on the surface, while our boat became entirely obscured by the flying spume. The creature had been pierced with lances until the water was reddened with blood, yet so padded with fat was he after his summer's gorging on herrings that the lances failed to reach a vital organ. To our great chagrin he dived, under the ice, and as the boats could now no longer follow him beyond the edge of the ice-field, the order was reluctantly given to cut the line, abandon the prize, and return to the ship. Very keen was the disappointment of the men. Here was a fine whale "gone to the deuce". Gone, too, cut clean away from the grasp of the men, was half a ton of good whalebone. However, there was a feeling pervading the fo'c's'le all that evening that I would not yet give, up, but would organize a search party, and each one hoped that he might be one of those chosen to go out to try and retrieve the lost booty. On the morning following, after thinking the matter over, I decided that the whale must be dead, as the lances had been driven well home, and had drawn so much blood. Thereupon I picked out six of the best men on board to help me hunt for the carcass. Two rifles were stowed in the boat, and enough biscuit to last the seven of us for a couple of days. All day the men rowed hard, while I swept the sea with my glasses. The vast ice-lee had slowly drifted southward, and it was a long time ere we came up with it, which we did towards nightfall. In the clear water behind its wake we made out an island of black rock fringed with a wide tawny sand beach, and soon we sighted something unusual on a yellow bar that ran far out from the island among the beating waves. Presently, to our great joy, it revealed itself as the stranded body of the dead whale. The men were delighted at the prospect of recovering the valuable whalebone, for here was prize enough even if it became necessary to abandon the blubber. That night we camped in a sheltered cove of the island, and needing no rocking, for we were tired out after our long pull. What was our astonishment next morning when we found our prize in possession of a company of Polar bears! There were a round dozen of them—not to speak of a couple of yearling cubs which kept close to their dams—all fighting, snarling and tearing at the flesh of the whale. It was evident that a pitched battle would be necessary to decide whether the carcass belonged to us who had killed the whale or to the bears who were now in full possession. Bigger than grizzlies, at times raising to their full height as dancing bears are trained to do, the monsters before us bore out the reputation of Lancaster Sound for its extremely large breed of bears, noted for their ravenous propensities and extreme daring and ferocity. It was at the elb of the tide-dead low water—when we decided to make our attack. The boat was brought round and headed towards the sand-spit where lay the stranded body of the whale. The feeding bears had apparently scented battle from afar, for two of the biggest took to the water and swam far out towards the boat. These became an easy prey, for they were dispatched while swimming alongside; but there still remained ten, and of these ten, five were indeed formidable monsters. Seeing the fate of their companions, the remainder of those which had entered the water returned to the beach. Five, lined up in front of the whale, while the other five, including the two she-bears with their cubs, fell to the rear of the carcass—exactly like a fighting corps held in reserve. The receding tide had left a broad border of shelving sand, so that when our party landed we were still some sixty yards from the front squad of bears. A trusted shot at one end of the line and myself at the other were armed each with a rifle and had alty round of ball cartridge between us. The other men were equipped with long whalers' lances. I opened the conflict by dropping on my right knee and taking deliberate aim at the largest bear. There was a moment's spate. Then came the sharp report of the rifle followed by an angry roar, and through the smoke, the bear, only slightly wounded, made a rush at us. The spearmen promptly fell back, but the other rifleman knelt down with great coolness and discharged his gun at the furious animal. Again, however, the wound was not fatal. Springing to the feet the man made a lunge at the infuriated bear with his empty gun, but with a swift blow the great brute sent the rifle flying in the air, and with another laid low the unfortunate sailor. The forepaws of the bear were laid on the shoulders of the prostrate man, and the blind feet were being brought to bear with repeated efforts to rip his tough tarpulin jacket, when, carried away by my excitement, I pushed up and, with the muzzle of my gun held almost at the ear of the savage beast, literally blew its head to fragments. Unmindful of a few hurts and a stream of blood trickling from his face and neck, the fallen man, to our amazement, jumped to his feet and, apparently half-crazy by his recent mauling, performed something very like a war-dance on the dead body of his late assailant. The bears now appeared to be somewhat cowed by the death of their comrades. The reserve line was weakened by the desertion of the two she-bears with their cubs, and the four monsters in the front rank did not seem much inclined to take the aggressive. All wild beasts, however, will usually forget their fear of man on three occasions: at mating time, when their young are in danger, and when their food is threatened. There was nothing for it, therefore, but to keep blazing away at the front guard until all were wounded. Finally, I ordered an advance of my little force, whereupon the disconcerted animals suddenly broke and fled, carrying away the rear line in their retreat. The bears were utterly routed. We were now kept busy for hours in skimming the slain bears and in cutting out the whalebone from the jaws of the prize. Then, well satisfied with our work, we loaded down the boat with our spoils and proceeded on our way to rejoin the ship. But our perils were not yet over. A breeze sprang up which rapidly developed into a gale, accompanied by blinding sleet and snow showers, until our position grew hazardous in the extreme. Great white-capped waves broke over the heavy-laden boat, and we were kept incessantly occupied bailing out the water. Nevertheless we rowed on doggedly for hours, until at length our wrists grew swollen, and it really seemed as if out of the peril of the bears we had rushed into a greater danger still. Falner and fainter grew our hopes of safety, as the gale rose and the billows rushed past mildly, driven to fury by the scourring blasts. Suddenly, through a rift in the driving storm-clouds the awful form of a towering iceberg was seen, rearing its glistening columns against the dull greyness of the snow-darkened sky. The weather-side of the iceberg received the full shock of the long, grey-green rollers as they swung up and broke again and again over its shelving ice strand, while the steep ice-slide, sinking sheer into the ocean depths, kept the water there as calm as some landlocked harbor. Quickly we seized the proffered opportunity. By herculean efforts the boat was brought up against the full force of opposing wind and tide, and safely steered to the lee-side of the iceberg. Then the ice anchor was got out and she was made fast to the giant berg. The next danger which confronted us was that in the long wait we might perish of cold. There was coffee aboard and fresh water, but how were we to manage for fuel and cooking utensils? I thought for a moment, and then ordered the men to pare off wood shavings from the thwarts, flooring and gunwale of the boat until we collected a good-sized parcel of fuel. For a stove we perforated the bottom of a large kettle, hanging a smaller one over the fire. Soon we were able to pass round a draught of steaming hot coffee, which wonderfully cheered our spirits. This was repeated towards the break of day. Then the storm gradually subsided, and we knew that the danger was over. Once more we steered our course to the ship, and finally arrived safely with the rich prize of the whalebone which had cost us so much labor and peril. Some of the rest of the crew were anxious to be allowed to visit the derelict carcass for another bear hunt, but the captain was known to hold white bears in high respect, and if surprised nobody when he announced his immediate intention of proceeding homewards. And so the ship's course was set towards the Straits of Belleisle, where, like a jagged tooth grazing at the Arctic Current, the island of Newfoundland rears its rocky bastions out of the cold, ice-laden seas. The snow-white skin of one of the biggest of the bears now decorates the little front, parlor of my cabin, and furnishes an excuse for a frequent revival of the story of the battle between a boat's crew and a dozen Polar bears.—The Wide World Magazine.

CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT THE LAND OF STORY BOOKS. At evening, when the lamp is lit, Around the fire my parents sit, They sit at home, and talk and sing, And do not play at anything. Now, with my little gun, I crawl All in the dark along the wall. And follow round the forest track Away behind the sofa back. There, in the night, where none can spy, All in my hunter's camp Tile. All play at books that I have read Till it is time to go to bed. These are the hills, these are the woods, These are my starry solitudes, And there the river, by whose brink, The roaring lions come to drink. I see the others far away, As if in firelit camp they lay, And I like to an Indian scout. Around their party proviled about. So, when my nurse comes in for me, Home I must nurse the in for me, And go to bed with backward looks At my dear Land of Story Books. —Robert Louis Stevenson. A MUSICAL KITE Kites are extremely popular throughout Central and South America, where they are called El Comte (the comet); and, many while are fashioned like ours, most of them are much more peculiar, both in shape and design. Bamboo sticks form the framework and usually the covering is tissue paper. A fringe of this paper ornaments some, and the boy who is musically inclined extends the sticks above the paper and stretches strips of hide across them. In a strong breeze these give forth a beautiful sound, like an aeolian harp. A musical chord can be made by tightening or loosening the strings. Sometimes the surface of the kite is palated to represent the face of a man, when the fringe around the sides has the appearance of a beard and is trimmed accordingly. Sometimes, too, says the Brooklyn Engle, a tin knife cut in shape of a crescent with inner edge sharpened, is attached to the tall, and the owner tries to cut the strings of any other kites that come in its way. Much skill is often shown in attacking or escaping from the pirates, as the knife-talled kites are called.— Philadelphia Record. A CORK THAT WALKS. Lots and lots of our boys and girls have seen a match box, a horse fly, a stone fence, and even a board walk, but we are pretty sure that very few of you have ever seen a cork walk. Still, under certain circumstances, a cork can walk, and this is the way to bring about that unusual spectacle. Get as large a cork as you can find, and stick side by side in one end a pair of flat headed nails. Then get two forks and insert them, one in each side, near the other, end of the cork, as shown in the picture. Now get a strip of wood four or five CORK WALKING DOWN THE BOARD. feet long and about two inches wide, and make an inclined plane of it by piling books or boxes under one end. Place the cork on this, standing it on its nail legs, with one fork hanging down on either side of the strip of wood. Start the fork swinging from side to side, and you will see the cork walk ferkily down the board, taking ridiculous, stiff-legged little steps on its nail legs. -New York Evening Mall. A GAME OF FOOTBALL It was such a pretty game of football! You have seen your big brother, perhaps, or some other big fellow, running and kicking a great rubber ball, and all the other big fellows running and trying to get it away—you know what a scramble and tangle and pile of boys it was pretty soon! The game I saw was played by fluffy white and yellow chickens, and it was a springtime game instead of November football. This is the way it was. Little Isabel's mother had taken her down into the sunny chicken yard to see the chickens, and on the way Isabel had picked some blue violets in the grass. Well, these little chickens had no kind, careful, anxious biddy-mothers to keep them out of trouble. They had been born all together in a great box that has a particular kind of name—an incubator—not at all like a nice, old-fashioned straw nest. But all little chickens are very sociable, very friendly, and these seemed to think that every body who came into the chicken yard had come to help take care of them; and so, when Isabel sat down on the warm earth in the spring sunshine, they ran up to her and then on to her and all over her little lap and stood on her shoulders. At first Isabel held up her hands to keep them off; but her mother said little chickens could not hurt her, and perhaps they wanted some of her violets. So Isabel drew a violet out of the bunch and held it up to a little speckled puffball that had just jumped upon her arm. Quickly he took it in his bill and ran with it, and after him ran every one of the rest. Up and down the yard they chased, running, and flying with their tiny yellow legs and little wings. Which one finally got the violet Isabel could not see. It was such a scramble and tangle, such a pile of feathers and bright eyes! Whenever some of the chicks gave up, they came over to little Isabel for another violet, and then another game began. There never was a better football. Nobody got hurt! And how excited and happy the chickens were, their little, small chirpy voices sounding like some sort of sweet music. Seven, eight, nine footballs the little chickens ran and scrambled for, running back every time to Isabel for another violet as soon as the one they had had was captured and eaten. All that spring little Isabel called every violet she found a "chicky football."-Gertrude B. Potter, in Little Folks. DOLLS' STYLES IN DRESS. The demand for handsome gowns for dolls has sprung up in the last year or two. It began in a small way, but has increased in a most remarkable manner. Of course, there are many hundreds of thousands of little girls who will have to content themselves with the old-fashioned dolls with the store clothes, but the very young ladies who reside in the big houses are not satisfied unless they have one of the imported productions, with the latest wardrobe. The head of one of these doll dress-making establishments was asked the other day how it happened that there was a demand for custom made doll's clothes. "Some one—I couldn't say who—started the idea that the dolls of the little girls of the '400' should, be gowned, in the latest modes," he said. "The best dolls and the dowdiest dresses come from Germany. Now, what was there to do? Why, that was easy. We still bought our dolls in Germany, but we made their clothes here. We began it in a small way last year. The past season the demand was so great that we could barely fill all the orders just before the holidays. "Of course; these German dolls with smart American dresses come high. This one, for instance"—and he held up a doll about a foot long, exquisitely dressed in a blue silk dinner gown—"this one would cost you $40. Others are as high as $100, but that includes three or four dresses. Not long ago we had an order for a bride doll, and an elaborate trousseau. There was a magnificent wedding gown of white satin, a traveling dress, a house dress or two, a ball dress, a dinner gown, wrappers, kimonos, pajamas, all kinds of shoes, slippers, silk stockings, and lingerie. Then there was a fine trunk and a traveling bag. In addition to this, there were parasols and handkerchiefs, and, in fact, everything that should go to make up a bride's wardrobe in high life. "You must know, though, that clothes are not the only things that have become necessary to the happiness of millionaire dolls. No doll that has any respect for itself will think of getting along nowadays without a fully equipped bath. We have them here, as you can see." And the doll man showed a miniature bathroom with all the appurtenances that are to be found in the toilet of the finest women. "Then, of course, the dolls have jewelry," went on the head dolls' dressmaker, "and they have brass bedstads and beveled. French glass dressing cases, and—" "But are the little girls who possess them really any happier than the little girls who have the old-fashioned, shabby rag dolls?" simply tag dolls: The head dolls' dressmaker looked hurt-for a moment. Then he added softly: "Well, I guess not."—Brooklyn Eagle. Joke Too Much For 'Em. According to a New York paper, "Sir Mortimer Durand is trying very hard to appreciate the intricacies of American humor," and it represents him as saying of the American joke that "I laugh when I hear them, and then when they sink in I laugh; again." That is the worst of the typical American joke, that they can only be enjoyed by a sort of intellectual ruminant. There is a New York joke at an Englishman's expense, however, which even Englishman will enjoy. "There's one thing I notice about you Americans," said the visitor, "when you get out of the cars you say: 'Where am I at?' Now, we would say: 'Where is my at!'"—London Globe.

Tri- «:PASSE-PARTOUT FRAMING: aoe . > BY CHARLES E, FAIRMAN. . 03%. HE rapidiz Increasing num-] final binding with’ the ubied oA the Bosorating of the study or den, often ‘causes the owner to wish that framing was less expensive, and that some method conid be devised which would permit of the use of these art objects ; Upon the walls in some more attractive 7 hud permanent manner, than by fasten. tnayeith pins‘or thumb tacks. This can easily be accomplished by the means of the passe-partout, 2 method which 4s at thescme time not only inexpen- sive, but’ serves to give the print a finisked appearance, and preserves it fully as satisfactzrily as if framed ex- Pensively. , In order to make passe-partout frames properly a board should be pre- pare as follows: Select a smooth board without warp two or three inches longer and wider than the largest frame desired. Finish the two longer sides by nailing on the edge a narrow ~strip which should project above the world side of the board not more than one-sixteenth of an inch. This’ Will be found sufficient to prevent the glass used from slipping off the board, and will provide’ a restiig shoulder Against which the glass may be pressed “during the making of the frame. On one side of the board draw a line at a distance of one-half Inch from the pro- Jecting-cdge; at the other side of the hoard a tne should be drawn one- fourth inch from the opposite project- Ing edge. These nes should be marked plainly and accurately, as they form the gulde Ines upon which the binding strips are placed, and if they vary in-distance the binding strips cannot be placed accurately in post- tion, ‘The binding strips should be selected from some strong paper or gummed. binding cloth that will elther Larmon- {ze with the print to be framed, or with the paper which may be used as a mat to give the print a sufficient mar- gin. For this purpose I use thé lighter stades of cover papers which are cut Into strips by the use of the comnion yardstick and a very sbarp knife. It ‘Will be understood that the placing of a smooth sheet of binder’s board under- heath the cover naper will render the cutting of the binding strips much “easiér_ The strips shoulé be made two inches wide if a large size frame (eleven by fourteen) is to be made; for smaller sizes a narrower strip may be used, but the wide stefp is much easler to handle and gives added strength to “the frame. For backing the ordinary straw board is all that is required. ‘This can often be found among the waste pasteboard Doxes in the home. In fact, parts of old boxes are preferable to new stock Dought at the paper warehouse for the reason that new stock is rarely thor- oughly dried, and I have known in- stances where the drying of the back- ing boafd has caused such x warping tendency that the cover glass has been broken. The backing boards show:d be ent to the esaet size of the glass which Is to be used Im framing. Any deviation in the measurement of the glass and the backing Voard will re- suit in an unsightly frame that the most skillful worker cannot avoid. ‘The bangers for the frame can us- ually be secured at stores where picture framiés are made. If these are not pro- curable, the small brass rings can be purchased at hardware stores, and Harrow strips of tin can be used to form the loops on which the rings are fash- joned. ‘These strips should be fully two inches in length and should be threaded through the rings, then doubled so that the riig will hang mld- way between the ends, whitch are passed through narrow silts in the backing board and then spread in the manner of a paper fastener and ham- mered dowri until they are perfectly flat. To make the frame proceed as follows: Place the glass upon the Baard so that {twill be In perfect reg- ister with’ the projecting edge.

This ‘precaution will not be necessary If a prepared gummed strip Is used. ‘The || Dinding strip, which should be of the |’ exact length yf the side of the glass to be covered, Should now be laid upon the glass, using the line described |’ above a3 a guide.

The glass should be-then turned and the|! opposite side covered in the same man- |! wey final binding with’ the print stid the backing board. “The glass ‘should by removed from the. boatd, arid’ # cleat ‘paper spréad upon the board ‘pot Which tho glass is placed face. down- ward. ‘Upon this lay the print with {ts mat—if any—face downward, place upon_this the backing board, taking care that the hangers are in the right position or the framed print may be found, when finished, to be arranged for hanging in a reversed position. Great. care should be talien to see‘that the print, the mat, and the backing board are in perfect register. Paste should then be lberally applied to {Re Projecting edge of the binding strip on the righthand side, and when thor- oughly pliable the strip should be closely drawn over the edges of the frame, onto the back of the backing ‘board, and then rubbed in contact with thé soft cloth. ‘The frame should then’ be‘ turned go that’ the’ lefthand side occupies the place of the right side ‘now conipleted, and this side and the ends trented in the same manner. ‘'T6 make passe-partout frames so per- fectly that they will have the appear- ancé of frames made by thé profes- sional frame maker requires only or- dinary mechanical ability, and the care. qwhich is required in doing even the simplest things well. If the instruc. tlons given are carefully followed, it will be found that choice prints, book covers and posters can be made into attractive ornaments for the home at a minfwum cost, with the added satis- faction that the work has about it that personal quality and interest which 1s never felt when the work has been done by others.—Scientific American. + How cam you get a set of teeth in. serted gratis?

The next instant he passed under the sloop, a flash of glittering light, so swift that the eye barely fol- lowed him. The reel sang, and the hissing Ine was drawn beneath us. Again we caught sight of him a yard in the air on the ather side, his jaw snapping. ‘The next moment he was coming again, and this time leaned completely’ over us—over the boat— showering everybody in it with salt water. : ‘We were nearly upset, for the two ladies of the party sprang up from thelr seats, screaming. ; ‘The fisherman sought to cast off the encircling line.

No, I didn’t know. But I Tushed from the tent in his wake, to find that a Hon and Moness hgd just been nto camp, had seized and killed. ‘One of our horses while we were all asleep, had almost entirely devoured the carcass, and liad then made good thelr escape across the river. The re mains of the horse (which had been tethered by itself) presented a sick ening spectacle, little belng left save the head and the haunches. Disturbed. by the flashing of torehes ere they had. finished thelr meal, the lions had rushed right through our camp be- tween the lines of tents and had after- ward, with consummate audacity, re- turned to finish thelr supper. It had meant short shrift for any of us who had been picked up that night; for our sentrits were fast asleep, and in any case they could not lave made any very formidable show with the muzzle- loading rifles with which a beneficent Government consents to arm the in- fantry of India’s ruling ebiefs. “About 11 o'clock the familiar roar- ing broke out from the further bank of the river. ‘The night was dark. ‘The ronring continued at intervals for a couple of hours—so did the carefully regulated bleating of a terrified goat, which had been tied up to a sapling. But in the meantime the lion and his mate had stealthily passed over the river, and about 1.15 a, m. the Honess suddenly emerged from the darkness, seized the goat, sapling and all, and disappeared as swiftly as she had come. ‘The occupants of the machans had been fitfully dozing, but now they were well awake, A few seconds later the lion appeared. He had been to look at the horse's skelgton. He was in no particular hurry. He was a Uttle puzzled at the non-appearance of his wife, that was all. But the delay was his own undoing. “Crack! went the expresses. The Hon staggered ,convulsively, then dis- appeared in the dark.” = ae > oo] 905 ——oOOOO | 4 ° : | The Atlanta Constitution.

A fight worthy of being recounted in any tale of thrilling adventure was enacted Init week on the Morrow ranch, which Iles on the Mount Ham- Mton range, extending from the ob- servatory south for many miles, says ‘the San Jose Dally Mercury. During the past month E. F, Robinson, fore- man of the ranch, had noticed that their young colts were decreasing in number with alarming rapidity. Al- most every morning the mangled car- cass of a colt would be found. Tracks around the slaughtered animals told the story of thermountain lion. A close watch was kept, but the depredations continued as before, nnd the lion evad- ed all-efforts to Kill Lim or drive him away. One morning Robincor, with a bunch of cowboys, was rounding up some stock in a remote sectign of the ranch, when the dog with them started a large animal in a thicket. They tried to end the dog {nto the bushes, hut he cowered away. Suddenly av im- mense California lion left the cover and ran up a large oak tree near by. There were no wenpons In the crowd, and Robinson was afraid to send one of the men to the wagon for a rifle lest they lose sight entirely of the animal. Accordingly they formed a cordon around the tree and let out thelr riatas at the Hon. The animal stood at bay and warded off the rawhides with his paws. The men had almost de- spalred of ,accomplishiig anything when Selby ‘Irimbly, the ernck rider of the Morrow ranch, voluntecred to Teave the circe nnd clfmb a nearby tree to endeavor to cast the rope In n Almerent manner. Te did this at the ‘risk of-his life. After repeated fail- ures he succeeded when the Jion’s head was turned the opposite way. The other ridtas fell quickly one after the other, and the animal was hung thert ‘and there. *- * ‘The skin is In beautiful condition and measures over seven feet from tip to tip.

Some queer stories about coffee that is sold in bulk, could be told, if the people who handle it (grocers), cared to speak out.

This popular success of LION COFFEE can be due only to inherent merit. There is no stronger proof of merit than continued and increasing popularity. If the verdict of MILLIONS OF HOUSEKEEPERS does not convince you of the merits of LION COFFEE, it costs you but a trifle to buy a package. It is the easiest way to convince yourself, and to make you a PERMANENT PURCHASER. LION COFFEE is sold only in 1 lb. sealed packages, and reaches you as pure and clean as when it left our factory.

Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation: Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume, of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. — Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private lilts to a woman — a woman whose experience with woman's disease covers a spectrum. You can talk freely to her—many years *is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man—besides a man does not understand—simply because he is a man. Following we publish two letters from a woman who accepted this invitation. Note the result. First letter. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "For eight years I have suffered something terrible every month with my periods. The pains are excruciating and I can hardly stand them. My doctor says I have ovarian and womb trouble, and I must go through an operation if I want to get well. I do not want to submit to it if I can possibly help it. Please tell me what to do. I hope you can relieve me." Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 50th and E. Capitol St., Benning P.O., Washington, D.C. Second letter. 'Dear Mrs. Pinkham;— "After following carefully your advice, and taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I'm very anxious to send you what I have in mind, their value and what you have done for me. LION MAKES COFFEE WOOLLAND SPICE CO. W. L.

I can walk miles without an ache or a pain, and I owe my life to you and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

How "All Men Are Born Equal." The woman born beautiful doesn't bother to educate her intelligence, is spoiled by flattery, is unable to hold the men she attracts; the woman born homely is driven to develop her character and her mind, and so more than overcomes her handicap as against her pretty sister. The man born clever loses because he wins too easily and has not incentive to that sustained effort which alone achieves success; the man born "slow" develops patience, assiduity, balance and, best of all, tenacity. It comes near to being a universal rule that strong points and weak ones just about offset each other in any human being at the start, and that the development is a matter for the man himself to determine. And there is no fatal haptic cap except the disposition to regard one's handicap as fatal—Saturday Evening Post "I have been refused by three girls since Christmas," said the impressionable young man. "Indeed!" responded the cynic. "You must carry a rabbit's foot."—Washington Star. RITS permanently cured.

Shoes, or their equivalent, are of a certainty even more ancient than gloyes, for they were a necessity of locomotion, while the other was but a luxury. Sometimes they were made of skins, sometimes of papyrus, as in Egypt. Often they were glided and decked with jewels, and the most expert artists of the day were employed to decorate the foot-coverings of wealthy patricians, consuls, emperors and their favorites. In no article of attire have, more vagaries been shown. Today a lady who desires to be considered in the height of fashion wears shoes pointed as much as possible; but in the time of, Queen Mary the taste was all the other way, and it was found necessary to issue a royal proclamation prohibiting shoes with toes wider than six inches. But perhaps the most extraordinary development in the way of footgear were the "chopines". Introduced by the ladies of Venice to make themselves taller than they really were. The articles were really a kind of stilts made of wood and leather, and sometimes reached the aburd, height of twelve inches. Even a trained acrobat would have difficulty in walking on such things, and ordinary women had such trouble with them that when the yattempted a promenade they required the assistance of a servant at each side and another behind to keep them from falling.-Redfern's "Royal and Historic Shoes."

If it declines to change it, the Commission can bring suit in Court and if the Court decides in favor of the Commissioners' finding, the railroad must obey, or its officers may be brought up for contempt of Court and summarily dealt with.

Marine, of Colorado Springs Began to Fear the Worst-Doan's Kidney, Pills Saved Her. Mrs. Sarah Marine, of 428 St. Urain street, Colorado Springs, Col., President of the Glen Eyrie Club, writes: "I suffered for three years with severe backache. The doctors told me my kidneys were affected and prescribed medicines for me, but I found that it was only a waste of time and money to take them, and began to fear that I would never get well. A friend advised [Pictorial portrait of a woman] me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. Within a week after I began using them I was so much better that I decided to, keep up the treatment, and when I had used a little over two boxes I was entirely well. I have now enjoyed the best of health for more than four months, and words can but poorly express my gratitude." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
