At first I found it difficult to ace distinctly in the dim light and through the thick blue haze; and the overpowering, aickUh fumes of the drug got Into my none and throat and made breathing a noticeable effort There was a dcitk by the door, behind which sat the keeper of the den, with a Utter of pipes and thimble-like cups before him. In a corner of the desk wis a jar of opium, a thick, sticky substance, dark brown In color, in appearance not unlike molassca in January. There were twenty smok ers on the couches, some preparing the pellet of opium by kneading it and pressing it on the pipe bowl, some doting off the fumes, and a few smoking. An attendant moved about the room with fresh supplies of the drug. For each thimbleful, enough for one or two smokes, the price was fifteen cent (Mexican). Success I Magazine. .

HOW HE WAS FLIMFLAMMED, A majority of Congressmen arc Iniporvldent, and when they art com pelled to leave Washington have only a sufficient surplus on hand to carry them home. It mutters little how much these men make, the result is the same, for they live up to their revenue.., .(.'.,', ' v.(..y; , Among the many was Daniel W. Voorheea, so well known in his pub lic career as a famous orator, a genial generous, good felluw and, boon com panion. In money matters Voorhces was as simple and ignorant as a child. He parted with his money with no thought of Its value. The middle of the month generally found him "broke," but this worried him little, for he managed to get along just as well until pay day. He ordered what he wanted and had It charged, and then forgot all about It. The funny part of his nature was that while lie did not remember his creditors, he always kept in mind his friends, and would give them the last cent he had if they applied for assistance. ; One day an old constituent of Mr. Voorheea from the Wabash, in Indi ana, called at the Capitol lo see the Senator. Not finding him in be went to the office of the sergeant-at-arms, that position then being held by, R. J. Bright, also from Indiana, and an intimate friend of Voorhces, The old man told his story to Bright, and the reason why he waa in search of Voorheea. In effect it waa that he was "bard up" and Voorhces owed him $150 on note, and be needed the money badly, and was there to collect it. Bright thought the story over and aald: ;.: "Now, my friend, if you go to Dan to collect this money he will not pay you a dollar. On the other hand, if you wilt go to him, tell him a hard luck story, and put up a poor mouth, he will raise and give you every dol lar he can." The man took this advice and meet ing Voorhces told him what a bad fix he was in and his need of a little assistance. Voorhees affectionately put his arm over his shoulder and said: "William, I am very sorry for you, and I will help you all I can. Come and go with me to the clerk's office. I do ' not know whether I have any money or not, but I will give you all I have." The clerk informed the Senator that there "happened" to be over $200 to bis credit This surprised Voor hees, but he said: "Give it all to my friend here, as he Is a long way from home and needs it more than I." Mr. Voorhces devoted the last ten years of his life to the Congressional Library. Until his death he took no interest in politics or anything else but the library, and to him. more than to any one else, is due the comple tion of the beautiful structure. lie died poor and in dcbt.-Hn "Success Magazine." THE AMERICANGIRL Somewhere out in that vogue re gion that lids east of the Hudson and northwest of the Sound, there is an infinite number of Something-manors and Somcthing-dalc and Briar-somethings, each of which seems to exit for and about a school for girls. And on Saturday mornings (though a plain and modestly bald person, I discovered this pleasing fact years ago) each of these' myriad schools opens its doors and sends cityward Us precious Inmates, Just why tbey corm ! am not prepared j to t tar though I could guess that matinees and shops and a desire to move about among sprightly scenes and pretty things have aomething to do with it but that they do come la undeniable. They come in flocks and bevies, with chaperona and without chaperons. Tbey wear modlst clothes and wear them supremely well. Their eyes are bright; they glow with health and color; they chatter and giggle unre servedly, without wasting a thought on the throng of work-aday beings through which they treatd their way. Utterly unconscious, utterly assured of themselves, utterly charming, they come, they press by; they go. , . Each has the poise of a princess. Each knows that a father, at some remote "office" or other, Is hard at work earning the money necessary to keep her in commission. Each knowa that a mother, in some more or less distant city, is maintaining a pleasant home for almost the sole purpose of receiving her when she shall elect to return to it. And each knows she is the boss of that father and that mother and that home. For she Is. More, she is the boss of our school system and our public library system, In so far as these things are shaped to fit her needs, her desires and her limitations. To a consider able extent she dictate the policy of our theater and our publishing houses. The business of publishing novels and magazines, indeed,- she rules with a merciless hand. Indi rectly, in a thousand ways, we are older and more whimsically thought ful, see, or think we see, throughout our American system of living and moving and having our being, the reigning influence of the Young Per son, otherwise known as the Ameri can GirL Success Magazine.

Haggblom, corner Ninth and Harrison streets, Astoria, Ore gon, says: "For 10 years I suffered acutely from kidney trouble which gradually grew more severe until I was on the verge of physical break down. I was losing flesh rapidly. My back was so weak and painful and I suffered from such severe dizzy spells that I could hardly get around. At last I was forced to take to my bed and remained there for a long time. My kidneys were irregular in action and the secretions so profuse as to cause me a great deal of suffering. At last I decided to try a good kid ney remedy. I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pill and the results that followed their use were most satisfactory. I continued using them and it was not long before I was completely cured. I have used Doan's Kidney Pill on tome occasion eince, to keep my kidneys in good order and can conscientiously say I have not had any recurrence of the trouble Doan's Kidney Pills cured me."
