ience. Arthur Rooke, 412 Duane street,
Astoria, Or., says: "At the time I
began using Doan's Kidney Pills I
was suffering severely from kidney
trouble and rheumatism. There were
severe pains in my back and should
ers which descended at times into my,
limbs. The pains seemed to be as
severe during the night as in the day,
and many times interfered with my
- rest At one time I was so lame that
I was i-r.iibic to stoop over to late
:y shot s w;hout suffering acutely.
My kidneys were irregular in action
and the secretions were in a terrible
condition. At last a friend recom
mended Doan's Kidney Pills to me
so highly that I procured a box at
Charles Rogers' drug store. They
fcelped me from the first I continued
using them and it was only a short
time before I was entirely free from
kidney complaint. I am now entirely
well, and it gives me pleasure to rec
ommend a remedy that has proven of
sath great benefit to me as Doan's
Kidney Pills."

And met a neighbor with his plow,

How evil are the times and what
This vice of grafting meant
And what would be and what would not

The pump is out of order quite

Does your pump never wheeze and squeak

Or do you sometimes shirk your chores
And Is your fancy bent

Improving the Breed.
Shortly after a new administration
took hold of a well known southern
railroad a great number of claims
were preferred against the company
on account of burses and cattle beins
killed along the line In Kentucky. To
make matters worse, It appeared that
every animal killed, however worth
less it may have' been before the acci
dent, invariably figured in the claims
subsequently presented as being of tho
best blood in Kentucky. One day in
conversation with one of the road's at
torneys the president became very
much excited in referring to the situa
tion. "Do you know," be exclaimed,
bringing down bis fist on the desk by
way of emphasis, "I have reached tho

SAVED BY A BET,
Pteullar Instance of the Power
Mind Over Matter.
The power of the huiuau will over
the weakness of tho human bmlv has
seldom been more curiously exempli' I
fled limn In the following lusium-e:
One of the bravest oflltrrs In Lord
Wellesley'a peulusuiur army was Colo
nel liny, who, however, was as uoto
tlous for his love of gambling ami bol
ting as for his deeds of darlug. At
Salamanca he was struck down by a
bullet ami lay upon tho Held apparent
ly lifeless. Two brother olllww coin
ing p, oue of them exclaimed:
"Poor Hay! He's gone at last'"
He had scarcely uttered the words
when n faint voice came up from the
ground:
"Hi lay you a level hundred hu's
not."
The colouol had oioiied his eyes, but
they looked glassy with death, and It
seemed but a case of minutes.
"Enter It." ho went on, "and you,
Caplalu Marston," addressing tho sec
ond officer, "be witness."
Then, quite overcome, his eyelids
dropped again, and be lay motionless.
Major Windsor, the one with whom
the bet was made, nt once had the colo
nel couveyed to the hospital. It wan
found to I a very grave case, and aft
er the patient had been restored to
couseloutmcs by means of restora
tives the doctor told him there was a
ball in his back which could only tx
extracted by a very severe oeratlou.
"But 1 must warn you," added the
surgeon, "that ou will very probably
die under It."
"If anybody will bet tue f."iO on the
event, I'll consent," suid the colonel.
"Send for Windsor, and I'll eudeavor
to persuade him to make it double or
quits."
The major was sent for and agreed
to the terms.
"Now saw away with you," cried the
colonel. i wuu't die."
The oiwrntioii was at once com
menced, ami the gallant gambler pass
ed triumphantly through the ordeal,
while the major, who was a generous
fellow, paid the bet with the utmost
satisfaction.
"I tell you," Colonel Hay used to say
when relating the story, "but for thiit
bet I should be a dead man now. It
was only my determination to win that
