suspected them of the homing Instinct
and so tried the experiment of catch
ing a pair of them on the Yorkshire
coast. In Ensland, and, after marking
them, carrying them south fifty miles
or more, returning first one and then
the other to the water at different
points on the shore. Then the York
shire crabbers carefully searched their
traps as they made each haul, on the
lookout for the possible return of the
wanderers. Strange to relate, one day

caught a second time, bavlng made

TRUTH TRIUMPHS
THE MERCHANT PRINCE.
(By J. F. priscoll)
There was an old geezer and he had
a lot of sense. t
He started up business on a dollar
eighty cents.
The dollar for stock and the eighty-
tor an ad.
Brought him three lovely dullars in a
day, by dad;
Well, he bought more goobs and a
little more space
And he played that system with a
smile upon his lace.
The customers flocked to him two by
tour
And soon he had to hustle for a reg
ular store.
Upon the square where the people
pass.
He gobbled up a corner that was all
plate glass;
He fixed up the windows with ! he
best that he had
And he told them all about it iu a
half-page ad.
He soon had 'em coming and he never,
never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down on his ads.
one bit.
Well, he's kept things humming in
the town ever since
And everybody calls him the Mer
chant Prince.
Some say its luck, but tliaO's all
punk
Why, he was doing business when the
times were bunk.
People have to purchase and Ithe
geezer was wise '
For he knew the way to get 'em was
to advertise.
Family Dinner The OliSi-fttm'as
dinner on Saturday at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Muscott was a
most enjoyable one, for there were
gathered there nineteen members of

Waterspouts,
The waterspout at sea and the tor
nado on land are manifestations of
great instability of the atmosphere in
a vertical direction, caused either by
an abnormally warm surface layer of
air or an abnormally cold layer at the
cloud level, says Nature. The former
cause is common In summer; the lat
ter occurs both in summer and winter
and is usually associated with a "line
squall" or V shaped barometric de
pression. The waterspout shows the
track along which surface air passes
spirally upward to restore equilibrium.
ThOj commotion of the sea Is due to
the exceedingly violent character of
the phenomenon.'-" The funnel Itself is
probably composed partly of moisture
condensed out of air by the sudden
diminution of pressure which occurs
and partly of sea water in the form of
spray. Sometimes the middle portion
of the" -visible funnel is absent, but
there must In that case be a corre
sponding complete funnel of rotating
sic from the surface of the cloud.
Mslanoholia. '
Melancholia does not mean depres
sion of spirits. A man may be as de
pressed as It Is possible to be and still
not bave melancholia. Melancholia is
despondency on account of painful de
lusions. One of the two typical delu
sions of melancholia is that the unpar
donable sin has been committed, that
God has been offended beyond redemp
tion and that hell fs to be the ultimate
goal; the other Is that of Impending
poverty. Everything Is lost or is about
to be. The patient and bis family are
going to end up In the poorbouse. His
acts alone have brought about this ter
rlble calamity from which there is no
escape. It can be readily seen that a
person bavlng delusions of this type
must be necessarily depressed. There
is probably no form of insanity in
which the anguish of the patient equals
tbnt of the melancbollac. Life is one
continuous horror. Exchange.
Dallas Citizens Testify for the Pub
lic Benefit.
A truthful statement of a Dallas
citizen, given in his own words, should
convince the most skeptical about the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. If
you suffer from backache, nervous
ness, sleeplessness, urinary disorders
or any lorm ot kidney ills, use a
tested kidney medicine.
A Dallas citizen tells of Doan
Kidney Pills.
Could you demand more convincing
proof of merit I
Mrs. A. Sieferth, 509 Washington
street, Dallas, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills have proven to be a fine rem
edy in our home and I have recom
mended them many times. They have
given me good relief from backache
and kidney trouble on several occa
sions. They have also neipea otners
of my family."

simply ask for a kidney remedy get

STOMACH MISERY
QUICKLY VANISHES
Your money back it you want it is
the way in which Conrad Stafrin, the
popular druggist is selling Mi-o-na,
the gretat dyspepsia remedy.
This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o-na
has so much merit and is so al
most invariably successful in reliev
ing all forms of indigestion that he
runs, but little risk in selling under a
guarantee of this kind.
Do not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspep
sia!. Mi-o-na will help yon. If it
doesn't, tell Conrad Stafrin that you
want your money back and he will
cheerfully refund it.
A change for the better will be seen
from the first few doses of Mi-o-na
and its continued nse will soon start
you on the road to perfect digestion
and enjoyment of food.
Mi-o-na has been so uniformly suc
cessful that every box is sold under
a positive guarantee to refund the
money if it does not relieve. What
fairer proposition could be madef
Conrad Stafrin gives his persanal
guarantee of "money back if you
want it" with every box of Mi-o-na
that he sell. A guarantee like this
speaks volumes for the merit of the
remedy. D28-J4
