"Anythlug more?" ' ' ' ,
"Yea, there'a lota more, but I can't!
think of It Just now. It scuudalous,
Alerp(;ular scandalous, and I've been
wanting to aw you about It. You are
a big man, ain't you?"
"One of tlm very biggest, Mr. Taylor.

"That's what I thought," said the
farmer aa he started to take off his

When I reached the Taylor place It
was so ncflr noon tbat I baited the
bora, and got a bite for myself, and
then I took Bill In baad and said:
"How Is It about yoo and tb. Widow

"Won't nothing torn you?? ',.., . -

We went to hla room, and ha got me
a aheet of foolscap and pencil and pa
per, and I wrote:
Oh, Widow Jonos, I love thee still;
I love th with a love '
That can't be butted txrre on earth

Oh. Widow Jonaa. ao paaalnff fair.
Be ever Soring true.
And don't forget your loving BIB,
Who'll e'er be tree to you.
Abe,- said Bill when I bad finished
and rsad the verses to blm, "I can't
tell you how grateful I am. I can only
lay that if our old spotted cow ever
kicks yon I'll knock ber durned born,
off next minute."
I agreed to atop and aee the Widow
lonea and leave the poetry, and when
I reached ber house and abe bad read
the verses and smiled and wept over
Ibera I asked: t
"Well, widow, what are you going to
do about Itr
"I'm going to marry BUI Taylor," sh.
letermlnedly replied. "They aay he's
Just making a fool of me, bnt I know

him every hour In the day",
I bud ten nilnutca to spare, and I
wanted to oblige the widow, and so I
sat down and dashed off:
Oh. William Taylor. Hat to ma

When the Kidneys fail to perform their functions properly by not straining out the poison
ous waste matter from the blood as it passes through them, the poisons are carried by the
circulation to every part of the body, deranging the different organs. This causes heart
trouble, stomach trouble, sluggish liver and a host of other ills, all due to deranged Kidneys.
