The MacTavish was not a mean man. No; he just knew the value of money. So, when the MacTavish developed a sore throat he meditated fearfully upon the expenditure of a doctor’s fee. As an alternative he hung about for a day and a half outside the local doc tor’s establishment. Finally he man aged to catch the great man. “Say, doctor! Hoo’s beez’ness wi’ ye the noo?” “Oh, feyr, feyr!” “Ah s’pose ye've a deal o' prescrib in’ tae dae fer coolds an’ sair throats?” “Ay!” “An’ what dae ye gin’rally gie fer a sair throat?” "Naethin’,” replied the canny old doctor. “I dinna want a sair throat.” —Chicago News. Forced to Economize. “Well, my boy,” said the genial fath- ex-in-law, “now that you have married • ly daughter, I trust that our relations will continue to be most cordial.” “I hope so, sir.” "But you surely don’t think I will • regard you any less lightly now than I did before?" “I’d hate to think that, sir, but I must warn you that since I have a wife to support, I can no longer afford to buy the expensive cigars I’ve been giving you.”—Philadelphia Ledger. The most venomous of snakes is held to be the echis carinata of India. It is about 18 inches long and of a gray color. The creature is death itself, and carries in Its head the secret of de stroying life with the concentrated ag- ory of all the poisons. The snake is tolerably common in In- dia, being found in nearly every part of the peninsula. Fortunately, however, for man, it is not, like the cobra, a house-frequenting snake; for its aggressive habits would make it infinitely more fatal to life than its dreaded relative. The king of the asps does not turn to escape from man as the cobra will, or flash into concealment like the kori- at, but keeps its path against its hu man assailant, and, pitting its 18 inches of length against its enemy’s bulk, challenges and provokes conflict. A stroke with a whip will cut it In two, or a clod of earth disable it ; but such is its malignity that it will invite attack by every device at its command, staking its own life on the mere chance of its adversary coming within the lit tle circle of its power. At most, the radius of this circle is 12 inches. With in it, at any event, lies certain death, and, on the bare hope of hand or foot trespassing within its reach, the echis throws its body into a figure-of-eight coil. Then It attracts attention by rubbing Its loops together, which, from the roughness of the scales, makes a rustling, hissing sound, erects its head in the center, and awaits attack. It is said that no one, having once encountered this terrible reptile, can ever forget its horrifying aspect when thus aroused, its eagerly aggressive air, its restless coils, which, in constant motion one over the other and rustling ominously all the while, stealthily but surely brings it nearer and nearer to the object of its fury. “By Royal Appointment." Once a year, in the New Year's Ga zette, appears a long list of tradesmen who are holders of royal warrants. This list at the present time exceeds 1,200 names. Since the death of Queen Victoria considerably over three hun dred names have been added. It is a privilege greatly coveted and much envied—this of the royal war rant, for it is not one lightly bestowed upon every tradesman who haz sup plied goods to his majesty's household. It Is distinctly a mark of royal favor, and to some extent a testimonial to the excellence of the purveyor’s goods. Its principal outward sign is the use of the royal arms over the shop-front and upon the writing paper of the war rant-holder, and it is an offense against the law for any person not being a warrant-holder to use the arms. Ap parently, however, its misuse is a com mon occurrence, for during recent years hundreds of cases of improper use have been dealt with by the Royal Warrant-Holders' association.—London Tit-Bits.

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which re moves the body’s urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activ ity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of water—you can’t drink too much; also get from any pharma- cist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then, to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wi nder what became of your kidney trouble and backache. Order.

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong, sick women well, no alcohol. Sold in tablets or liquid. Fresh to the Bone. During his vacation a San Francisco lawyer met an old friend in the vil lage and their conversation drifted to a discussion of the natives. A young farmer came under their view. “He’s a fine looking young fellow,” said the lawyer. "Ye-e-es,” assented his friend, du biously. "Well, anyway, he has a mighty good head.” “It ought to be good,” was the reply. “That man's head is brand new—he's never used it any.”—Rochester Times. His Best.

FALLS HEAVIEST ON FARMER Modern Warfare Said to Make Great est Claim on Those Who Are Tillers of the Soil. Investigators having in view the in terest of the farmer as a class make claim to the discovery that modern warfare bears heaviest upon the tillers if the soil and not, as popularly sup- posed, upon the factory hand. In the trenches on the French front 60 per cent of the soldiers are small farm ers and only 12 per cent are industrial workers. This is due to the fact that the newer weapons, the quick-firing cannon, the machine guns, the maga zine rifle, the gigantic howitzer and the bomb throwers demand highly or ganized and efficient factories. So do the drafts for clothing, steel helmets, concentrated foods and other supplies. It takes several active and expert workers at home to maintain one sol dier in the field. The farms can be cared for by the old men. the women and the children. Therefore the army organizers are seizing the farmers and exempting the more valuable factory employees, both statements, of course, being relative. What is true of France in this re spect is equally applicable to England and Russia and the other allies of the progressive type. The extent of the exemption In England alone is shown by the recent announcement that con scription would be applied to men fit for military duty excused previously to perform other work. This draft, it was said, would produce 1,250,000 sol diers. Agricultural leaders, possessed of these rather astonishing facts, are beginning to spread the information among their followers as part of a propaganda against militarism. Quick and forceful protest may be expect ed, as the American farmer is not prone to keeping silent when his in terests and his own skin are imperiled. —Cincinnati Enquirer. Survivors of Great Tragedies. James Boyle, who had so remarkable an escape from the fate of all others aboard the ill-fated Connemara and Re triever, will take a place among the sole survivors of great tragedies. When the French mail steamer General Chanzy went on the rocks, off north- west Minorca, six years ago, one man, Marcel Badez, was the only survivor of 158 passengers and crew, and nu merous other instances are on record of wrecked vessels from which a soli tary survivor lived to tell the tale. Possibly the two most remarkable cases of a single mon escaping from an overwhelming disaster are those of Doctor Brydone, who alone reached safety of the 3,480 soldiers and 12,000 camp followers who set out on the re treat from Cabul in 1842 ; and of a ne gro prisoner, confined in an under ground cell at St. Pierre, who alone out of the 40,000 inhabitants survived the destruction of the city by the erup tion of Mont Pelee in April, 1902. Offers $1,000 to Save Dog. Just how big a place a dog may take in one’s affections was demonstrated strongly when Miss K. E. Henesey of this city lost a Yorkshire terrier, York Sunshine Girl. The little terrier weighed only a couple of pounds, but its owner would not have sold it for anything. There was a swinging door between the rooms in Miss Henesey’s apartment, and the dog was caught in it as It slammed. Knowing that thore was no veterinarian near by, Miss Henesey called a physician, who hap pened to be a high-priced specialist. When he saw what the case was he said be was no veterinarian. “Here’s a check for $1,000," she said. “You have no objection to earning that, nnd if you can save her It Is yours." The dog hnd n broken neck, how ever, and was beyond saving.—New York Herald. I know an old fellow whose family is very musical.

The late Judge Pennypacker of Phil adelphia was an advocate of the en- franchisement of women, but he also advocated justice, in the relationship between the sexes, for man. “Woman,” he said, whimsically, one day at the Pennsylvania Historical Society, "mustn’t play it both ways. She mustn't get the vote and the equal wage through man's sense of equity, and then get all kinds of unfair privi- ! lege through his sense of gallantry. "There's a lot of truth in the story of the young broker who, after his failure, was thrown over by a pretty girl. " 'Why was the engagement broken off?” a banker asked the ruined bro ker. " 'Well,’ he answered, 'after I'd giv en her a string of pearls, an opera box and a birthday gift of a 12-cylinder limousine I went to smash and her people accused me of amusing myself at her expense.’ ”—Washington Star.

Where She Was. A small boy, who afterwards proved to be a nephew of one of the mayor’s stenographers, was wandering about In the city hall when one of the offi cials there happened upon him. “Well, sonny,” inquired the man genially, “for whom are you looking?” “For my Aunt Kate.” “Can’t you find her?” “I can't seem to.” “And don't you know here she is?” “Not exactly. She's in here some- | where, tho, and I know that the mayor works in her office.”—Harper's Mag azine. TURN HAIR DARK WITH SAGE TEA If Mixed with Sulphur Darkens so Naturally Nobody Can Tell. It The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth ful appearance is of the greatest ad vantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound” for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies is that, Sage and Sulphur Compound, be sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also pro duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. This ready-to-use preparation is a de lightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

S uccess of Dear Mr. Editor —I suffered for years with backache. Last March I tried "Anuric” and have used this new kid ney medicine recently discovered by Dr. Pierce, and it was wonderful the way it eased the pain and gave me relief in such a short time. I have tried several medicines, but "Anuric” is the only one that gave satisfaction. I feel it my duty to recommend "Anuric Tablets” to any one who suffers as I did. (Signed) MRS. MARGARET E. SNIDER. NOTE: Folks in town and adjoining counties are delighted with the results they have obtai neu by usi ng " A N UHK!,” the newest discovery of Dr. Pierce, who is bead of the INVALIDS’ HOTEL and SURGICAL INSTITUTE, in Buffalo, N. Y. Those who started the day with a back ache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and an aching head ( worn out before the day began because they were in and out of bed half a dozen times at night ) are appreciating the perfect rest, comfort and new strength they obtained from Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove that this is a certain uric acid solvent and conquers headache, kidney and bladder diseases and rheumatism, if you’ve never used the " Anuric,” cut this out and send ten cents to Doctor Pierce for a large sample package. This will prove to you that "Anuric” is thirty - seven times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid—and the most perfect kidney and bladder cor rector. If you are a sufferer, go to your best druggist and ask for a 50-cent box of "Anuric." Yon run no risk for Dr. Pierce’s good name stands behind thia wonderful new discovery as it has for the past half century for his "Golden Medical Discovery,” a general tonic made from roots with pure glycerine which makes the blood pure, his "Fa- vorite Prescription" for weak women and " Pleasant Pellets ” for liver ills.
