The Same Mistake is Made by Many
Astoria People.
It's a -zommon error
To plaster the aching back,
To. rub with liniments rheumatic
joints.
When the trouble comes from the
kidneys.

ney ills.
David Campbell. 170 N'. Eighteenth
street, Portland, Or., says: "My faith
in Doan's Kidney Pills today is just
as great as when A recommended
them several years ago, the cure they
performed in my cafe having proven
permanent Trior to using them, I
suffered constantly from pains in my
back and often writ so lame and sore
that it was difficult for me to s'oop
or lift. I tried various remedies and
was treated by a physician but the
relief I obtained was only temporary.
I read so much about Doan's Kidney
Pills that I finally tried them and
was soon cured."
Plenty more proof like this from
Astoria people. Call at Charles Rog

A TRIPLE SURPRISE.
It Cam With a Pltaaant Otlng In
New Auto Car.
A well known author, who for soma
years bas been an entlmsluvtlc ad
rulrer of the automobile, had an amus
ing experience, which she describe
In the Bohemian. A new model a!
ways attracted her attention, she de
clares, and when she came out of the
New York hotel where she was stay
ing and saw a One new car standing
unoccupied by the curb she stopped to
admire It;
While I examined It and (TO ted with
envy a friend, also Interested In autoa.
came down the atep and approached
the machine.
"Isn't It stunning!" he said.
t agreed enthusiastically and added
that the machine was tantalising uio,
as I did so long to take a spin, that
my chauffeur was 111 and that I was
afraid to run ray ear through the city.
"Why, 1 will take you," he said. "1
haven't anything to do this afternoon.
Where ahall we gor
We got In, and I suggested Coney.
To make a long story short the de
lightful ride gave as an appetite. We
topped for dinner and then went oat
to Sea Gate to call upon friends. As
we were crossing the bridge on our
way home at about 11 o'clock my
friend Inquired, "At what garage do
you keep your machine r
At the question a terrible possibility
dawned upon tue, and with the re
membrance of a certain unfamlllarlty
that he had displayed at the first In
regard to the running of the car the
situation became Instantly clear. He
had thought that the machine was
mine, aud I had been equally secure
In the belief that It was his. In other
words, we had calmly gone off with
some one else's property.
You may Imagine our feelings. We
felt confident that we would be ar
rested on our way uptown. We rolled
up to the hotel Inwardly quaking.
After much Inquiry and explaining
we found the Indignant owner. For
tunately he knew me slightly and had
a well developed sense of humor. In
spite of a rather forbidding expres
sion as we first faced him with our
unfortunate story. I think he believed
oa.
His parting remark, however, waa
rather puzillng, although be said It
with evident cordiality:
"Whenever you'd like to use the ma
chine again Just let me know."
A SURPRISED CAT.
Oatitlar'a Pet and Ita Experience With
a Parrot.
Of all cat stories the best Is one told
by Tbeophlle Gaotler, the French nov
elist. He kept many cats, the favor
ite being "Madame Tbeophlle," and she
waa bis constant ' companion by day
and night One day a friend, who
waa going away a abort time, brought
Gautier a parrot to be taken care of
during his absence. The bird, finding
Itself la a strange place, climbed up
to the top of Its perch In a rather
frightened manner. Madame Tbeophlle
bad never seen a parrot before and
regarded the creature with manifest
surprise.
After a period spent In profound
meditation, summoning up all the no
tions of natural history she bad picked
np In the yard, the garden and on the
roof, she plainly came to the conclu
sion that the newcomer was a green
chicken. This result attained, the
next proceeding of Madame Tbeophlle
waa to lay herself flat 00 the floor,
like a panther, watching ber prey.
The parrot did not like this at all; It
ruffled Us feathers and rattled Its
chain uneasily. Then Madame Tbeo
phlle came creeping nearer, her nose
quivering, her eyes half closed, while
slight thrills of pleasure ran along her
backbone at the Idea of the meal she
was about to make. Another moment 1
and she sprang upon the perch. I
The parrot Instantly straightened up j
and said In a deep bass voice, "Hare j
you breakfasted. Jaeko?" 1
This utterance so terrified the cat
that- she sprang backward. All her
ornithological Ideas were overthrown, i
"Arid on what?" continued the par
rot gravely. "On sirloin?"
The cat cast a glance at her master
as If to say: "This Is not a bird. It is
a gentleman. It talks!" And then
she promptly hid herself under the
bed, and from that refuge she could
not be Induced to stir during the
whole day. St Louis Globe-Democrat.
- Adages of Morocco.
In an article ou the people of Morocco
a writer lu Paris Figaro nays: "They
have some queer adages and some that
closely resemble ours. Thus they say,
The camel cannot see its bump, but
plainly sees the one of Its neighbor;
'He who depends on his neighbor will
go to bed hungry;' "A wise enemy Is
better than a stupid frletid!' 'Cross the
rushing stream, but beware of the
quiet, noiseless 'one;' 'In this world
there are three things not to be trust
ed luck, women and horses;' 'Mount
ing a horse, loosing the brntlng dngs
and hearing earrings rattle drrfe dull
care away.' "

NEW YORK, Dec. lfx-President-Elect
Taft was the gnest of honor to
night at the 23rd annual banquet of
the Ohio society in New York. Taft
took advantage to pledge his admin

could control it to the loyal adher

dwelt almost wholly upon tariff re
vision, which he singled out as the
most important declaration made at
the last national convention. After
referring to the veto of power of the
chief executive, he said with all em
phasis he is capable: "Rctter no re
vision at all. better that a new bill
should fail unless we have honest
and thorough revision on a basis
laid down and principle outline in
the party platform."
Taft referred to the Sherman anti
trust law and declared for its en
forcement as one of Roosevelt's poli
cies the party has pledged itself to
carry forward.
