Show Value or Notes. A well known minister Is telling an anecdote about a brother clergyman who was required unexpectedly to of ficiate at the funeral of a man con cerning whom he knew nothing. When be arrived at the town where the de ceased had lived he had Just time to make a few Inquiries about his traits and achievements, the results of which he noted on a memorandum. His eulogy at the service, as reported, was about as follows: "Our dear brother, whom we mourn to-day, was a man of rare character and ability. He had the mental capac ity of a" referring to his notes "Daniel Webster, the tact of a" again consulting his memorandum "Henry Clay, the pertinacity of a" another reference "Ulysses S. Grant. We can only mourn him with a pro found and sorrowful regret now that he has gone to meet his" another reference to the notes "God." The Reason Why. Druromond, Wis., Sept. 19 (Special) Whole families in Bayfield county are singing the praises of Dodd's Kid ney Pills and the reason why is given in experiences such as that of Mr. T. T. Wold, a well known citizen here. "I had such pains ?n my back that I did not know what to do," says Mr. Wold, "and as I came across an adver tisement of Dodd's Kidney PilU I sent for a box. That one box relieved me of all my pains. My wife also nsed them and found them just what Bhe needed. I recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills as a sure cure for Backahe, and other Kidney Troubles." Backache is one of the earliest symptoms of Kidney disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure it promptly and permanently and prevent it developing Into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright's Disease.

Bramble If ever I should become great, and the American people should resolve to erect a statue to my memory, they won't be able to make me out any uglier than I am. When a child I had a very severe at tack of Diphtheria, which came nearprov ing fatal. Upon recovery the glands of the neck were very much enlarged, and after the free use of iodine, the right one wa9 reduced to its normal size, but the left one continued to grow very slowly at first, until it was about the size of a goose egg, which began to press on the wind pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be came very painful. An incision was made and a large quantity of pus discharged. The gland was removed, or as much as could with safety be taken out. For ten years I wore a little piece of cloth about an inch long in my neck to keep the place open. . During this time I had to have it cut open by the doctor every time I took cold or the opening clogged. In the Spring or early Summer of 1884 I was persuaded by my wife to use S. S. S., which I did, strictly in accordance with directions. I took twenty-six large bottles, and was en tirely cured, for I have not suffered 6iuce that time. B. S.Ragland. Royal Bag Mfg.

ANCIENT HISTORY. S When the bells on a rural telephone circuit began merrily jingling one June morning half a dozen young women In as many farmhouses forsook every thing else, and with paper and pencil before them took up the receivers. It was the agreed time for a review of ancient history, prior to the final ex aminatlon In the "consolidated" high school on Monday. "I say, girls" said the first voice when all were ready, "what does any body know about Moses?" "Oh, that's easy, Henrietta," was the answer along the line. "Born 1738, went Into exile 1G98, came back to Egypt 1608 and led the Hebrews out of bondage. He died when he was a hundred and twenty years old." "Please say those dates again. Ethel." "Seventeen-thlrty-eight, sixteen-nlne-ty-eight, sixteen-flfty-eight" "Aren't you saying them backward?" "Why, no, stupid. It's B. C." "That's 'Backward Counting,' you know, Henrietta," Interrupted a third voice. "Oh, yes, of course. I ought to have known. But say, girls, that's Just what I want to know about. How did you do It?" "Do what?" "Why, keep track of what year it was when they had to count back ward. Do you suppose Moses knew how old he was coins: to be when he died, and kept saying, I was a hundred and twenty when I was born, in sev-enteen-eighteen I'll be a hundred' and so on til he died?" "Of course not They counted their ages forward." "What I want to know," said voice number four, "is how they knew what year to begin to count, with. Now of course we are adding a figure every year. We started with the year one. Thla Is nineteen-four, of course, and next will be nlneteen-flve. But how did those old-timers know In seventeen-thlrty-eight B. C. that it was going to be just that many years to the year zero, or to whatever they called It be fore our reckoning began?" Into the transmitters of half a dozen telephones and along a dozen miles of wire was launched a confused murmur of exclamation and query. At last It quieted down when the calm voice of Henrietta was heard coming down the line. "Oh, I can answer that one myself, tfrls." she said. "It was started that way, and all they had to do was to Keep track. Its marked here In the Bible that Adam was born In four thousand and four, and of course, knowing that, all he had to do was to subtract one every year. It was bound to come out even." Give the Boys Poultry. As usual, there Is loud complaint from farmers that the children brought up on the farm are getting uneasy and want to try their wings elsewhere. This is not to be wondered at when these young people hear and read of what is going on In the world. The monotony of country life seems unbear able to them, especially when from the farm they obtain only plenty of hard work, the food they eat and the clothes they wear. True, one may say that Is about all any one gets out of life, but if we can plan some way by which the young people can make a start for themselves they will be much more contented. Poultry offers a way of trying out the feeling of the young folks at small expense. Give them a chance to raise poultry and have the proceeds for their own use, and in a year or two they will have become reconciled to coun try life and be willing to make it their future or they will have shown their litter lack of adaptability for it, in which case the best thing for them and for the parent Is to let them leave the farm and take up the work for which they are better fitted, but don't lose your grasp on the young people without first giving them a chance to do for themselves on the farm and show what is In them. Indianapolis News. Declare Eskimos Doomed. The Rev. Mr. Ryberg, pastor of the First Congregational Church at Nome, urges President Roosevelt to do some thing toward saving the Eskimo popu lation of Alaska. "Though they have saved the lives of hundreds of gold seekers," says he, "this kind and childlike race la rapid ly passing away. Its members are meeting a sad and undeserved fate. Shamefully neglected by our govern ment, the last chapter of their history Is being rapidly written in cruel char acters of neglect and want, disease and crime." The minister declares that the res ervations are unsuitable to Eskimo, but that four to six colonies between Point Barrow and the mouth of the Yukon will solve the problem In two years. When we read that a person who was sick a number of years was al ways patient, we wonder If the same can be said of the attending kin. Paaa Death Watch R.nrr T. "What are you doing sitting idling wane your leuows do all the work?" said the lawyer from the Stock Ex change Building to the underground cable workman. The electrician was sitting on a tool box beside a manhole at Washington and La Salle streets when the lawyer Interrupted him. He looked up, and then with a faint smile said: "I am the death watch." "Explain yourself. 1 do not under stand you." "Well, those men in the hole are constantly in danger of suffocation from sewer gas. If I were In the hole 1 would run the same chance as they do. For their safety I sit here In open air. I am not In range of the gases. If one of them Is overcome I get busy, haul him into open air and call a doc tor. See?" The lawyer "saw" and went about his business, admitting to himself that there were tricks In all trades, and this was one of the dangers which beset conduit men that he had never thought of. Chicago Record-Herald. 1 An Amplified Woman. "The car was entirely empty, with the exception of one man," said Miss Myra Kelly. "He was the reverse of the car. As I entered he rose, made me an unsteady but magnificent bow and said: " 'Madam, phleashe be kind 'nough to asahept thish plashe.' There was nothing else for me to do, so I thanked him and sat down. "And for twenty blocks that Idiot hung from a strap, swaying In the breeze, with not a soul in the car but ourselves. Occasionally I have been taken for other women; but I never before had any one think that I was a car full." Price of Theater Seats There is much talk about the high prices charged for seats In the thea ters of Eastern cities. Apropos of thla is a story of a Boston box-office man and a young man from the country. The latter confidently approached ths vendor of tickets, and Inquired: "What's your best seats worth to day?" "Two dollars," was the reply. The rustic hesitated for a minute, and then pityingly drawled: "Say, I don't want to take the seat away." Oldest Theater la the Country. The oldest theater In America, the Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia, is virtually to be torn down and a modern playhouse substituted. This theater has rounded out nearly a cen tury of life as a pnrveyor of amuse ment to the people of the Quaker City. It was built in 1809 and about all of the great American actors and actress es who have appeared before the foot lights 6ince that time have trod its boards.
