Still More Evidence.
Bay City, 111., August 8 (Special.)
Mr. K. F. Henley oi this city adds
bis evidence to that published almost
daily that a sure cure for Rheumatism
is now before the American people and
that that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr. Henley had Acute Rheumatism.
He has used Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
eays of the result:
"After suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numerous
medicines for Rheumatism and more
medicines prescribed by doctors, I at
last tried Dodd's Kidney Pills with the
result that I got more benefit fro.r
them than all the others put together.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only
thing to give me lelief, and I recom
mend them to all suffering from Acute
Rheumatism."
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
in the blood. Healthy kidneys take
all the Uric Acid out of the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
kidneys.
Reproving the Apostate.
In the early days of the British
Royal Academy reverence for the "old
masters" of painting amounted almost
to -worship. When at a dinner Sir
Martin Shee, one of the early presi

infinite superiority, bays M. A. P., his
bearers were horrified.
Sir Martin leaned across the dinner
table and rapped upon it to empha

dered. "What did Raphael do that we

Raphael."
The bold declaration was too much
for old Woodburn, a picture dealer,
who sat opposite.
"Sir Martin," he said, huskily, fairly
pale with emotion, "I've often 'eard
people say they didn't admire 'Omer.

"I got off a street car this morning,"

with such rapid strides that he bad

between himself and the next man.

would do fairly well, perhaps, in this

Xhlm ThHj Woman Want a Go-Cart
j v For Her Papoose.
I .', . There is no prouder mother . among
the Indian women at the World's Fair
i Indian colony than Skyblue. a Navajo
woman. Skyblue is
not only proud of
her little 3-months-old
Chee, but she is
also ambitious for
her baby's rights.
Skyblue believes 5
that Chee is now a
World's Fair baby,
and has a perfect
right to the dignity
of such a title, that
she should, in keep
ing with such dig
nity, possess a mod
ern baby carriage.
bqtjaw and BABY. Skyblue attended
the opening of the Model Playgrounds
the other day. There she saw dainty
little carriages, upholstered in . blue
silk, with tiny white bankets and coun
terpanes with lace edges. Skyblue took
her own little Chee to the baby's party,
strapped in the leather and bark
papoose frame, to her back. Chee was
content and very, happy. Her big
bright, dark eyes took in the pretty
scene with an apparently perfect un
derstanding of 1 metropolitan social
ways.
But Skyblue did not have a happy
moment after she saw the little go
carts and was told to what use they
were put. Sne resolved then and there
that she would have one.
She is a large, healthy woman, and
the excuse that she was not strong
enough to carry her papoose on her
back she knew would not carry weight
with, the Indian officials,- The only rea
son she knew of that she should have
a new sort of carriage was based on
her theory that "nothing was too good
for little Chee."
She was given to understand that
she would be permitted to purchase
one, but that she would not be al
lowed to use it while in St. Louis, for
the officials argued that such an inno
vation would spoil their exhibit.
This question of imitation among
the Indians is one of the most per
sistent that the Indian officials have
to contend with. Nearly every day
one of the squaws, the young children
and the chiefs suggest to Dr. McGow
an, superintendent of the exhibit, that
they would like to have some article
of clothing, or some one thing, that
they have seen and admired on their
white sisters or' brothers.
A Navajo woman, who recently ar
rived at the Indian school, wants a
modern baby carriage in which to car
ry her papoose, Chee. If she cannot
get a baby carriage she would accept
a "roller chair."
THE BIBLE AND OTHER BOOKS.
Three Hundred Minion Copies of the
Scriptures Circulated in a Century.
On Wednesday, March 7, 1804, "a
numerous and respectable meeting of
persons of various denominations" wa3
held at the London Tavern, and a so
ciety formed "to promote the circula
tion of the Holy Scriptures in the prin
cipal living languages." At that time
the Bible, or portions of it, could be
obtained in about forty living lan
guages, spoken by two-tenths of the
race. During the century since the
meeting at the London Tavern ad
journed, and very largely from the
machinery then and there started, the
Scriptures have been translated into
450 langauges and dialects, understood
by seven-tenths of the race. By the
London society alone 180,000,000 copies
have been distributed, at an expense of
$70,000,000. If we add to this total the
70,000,000 copies already distributed by
the younger American Bible Society,
and the unknown millions printed and
sold by private enterprise, we find our
selves inside a safe estimate if we hold
that certainly 300,000,000 copies of the
Scriptures, in whole or separate, books
or portions, have gone into circulation
during the last century.
Amazement attends the study of the
Bible, whatever the point of view or
the course pursued. But nothing about
the Bible is more amazing than its
continuous, universal and utterly un
paralleled popularity. In nearly every,
if not every, country on earth where
books are sold, more Bibles are sold
than any other book. Last year the
British and Foreign Bible Society
alone distributed 5,943,775 copies, the
,majority by sale, in 370 languages,
covering every part of the globe. And
the issue by the American Society- for
the year amounted to 1,993,558 Bibles
and portions. Century.

torpidity of the liver, inactive state of the
