Jt A WOMAN'S MISERY. Mrs. John La Rue, of 115 Paterson Avenuo, Paterson, N. J., says: "I was troubled for about nine years, and what I suf fered no ono will ovor Itnow. I used about overy known renio dy that Is said to be good for kid ney com plaint, but without de riving' per manent ro llef. Often when alono In tho houso the back ache has been so bad that it brought tears to iny eyes. Tho pain at times was so Intense that I was compolled to give up my household duties and He down. There were headaches, dizzi ness and blood rushing to my head to cause bleeding at tho nose. Tho first box of Doan's Kidney Pills benefited mo so much that I continued tho treat ment. Tho stinging pain In tho small of my back, tho rushes of blood to tho head and other symptoms disappear ed." Doan's Kidney Pills for sale by all dealers. 50 cont3 per box.

Dora D'Es pnlgno Chapman in London Globe. Swordemanshlp In England. Swordsmanship In one or tho othoi of Its forms Is making marked pro gress in England. New sallos d'armea are being opened and rresp. clubi formed year by year In London and the provinces, and International matches havo been arranged in which tho English teams at least borne thorn solves well. Hereros Cattle. Tho native cattle of tho Horeros In Southwest Africa, aro tall, lean, long horned and of little valuo for beef or milk, but they are excellent for rid ing and drawing loads, and, llko cam els, can travel for days without water and with little food. They aro guided by reins attached to a stick through tho nose. Grease the Nails. Not long ago I "saw a person trying to drive a nail through a plcco ot sea soned oak an Inch and a halt thick. This was Impossible until 1 suggested ho grease the nail. It was then driven easily and without bending. National Magazine. ' The Best He Had. "Is this the best claret, Murphy7" asked tho Irishman of his butler. "It Is not, sorr," was tho answer, "but It'i the best yo'vo got." Greenland now has nearly 12,000 In habitants. FROM SAME BOX Where the Foods Come From. Took here, waiter, honest now, don't you dip every one ot these flaked breakfast foods out of the same box?" "Well, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept Grape-Nuts, cause that don't look llko tho others and people know 'zackly what Grape-Nuts looks llko. But there's 'bout a dozen different ones named on the bill of fare and they are all thin rolled flakes so It don't make any difference which ono a man calls for, wo just tako out the order from one box," This talk led to an investigation. Dozens of factories sprung up about threo years ago, making various kinds of breakfast foods, seeking to take tho business of the original prepared breakfast food Grape-Nuts. These concerns after a precarious existence, nearly all failed, leaving thousands of boxes of their foods In mills and ware houses. These were in several In stances bought up for a song by spec ulators and sold out to grocers and hotels for little or nothing. Tho proc ess of working off this old stock has been slow. One will see the names on menus ot flaked foods that went out of business a year and a half or two years ago. In a few cases where tho abandoned factories have been bought up, there Is an effort to resus citate the defunct, and by copying the style o'f advertising of Grape-Nuts, seek to Influence people to purchase. But the public has been educated to the tact that all these thin naked foods are simply soaked wheat or oats rolled thin and dried out and packed. They are not prepared llko Grape Nuts, In which the thorough baking and other operations which turn tho starch part of the wheat and barley Into sugar, occupy many hours and re sult In a -food so digestible that small Infants thrive on It, while It also con tains the selected elements of Phos phate of Potash and Albumen that unito In the body to produce the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers. There's a reason for Grape Nuts, and there have been many Imi tations, a few of the article Itself, but many more of the kind and character ot the advertising. Imitators are al ways counterfeiters and their printed and written statements cannot be ex pected to be different than their goods. This article Is published by tho Postum Co. at Battle Creek.

John Skelton Williams of Rich mond, Va., one of tho foremost bank ers and railway organizers of the south, says of Thomas Fortune Ryan, tho new head ot tho Equitable: "I have known Mr. Ryan six years and in that time have been associated with him In enterprises In which we were mutually Interested and opposed to him In struggles for the control of properties. It was difficult for mo to understand that a man could bo capa ble of violating pledges and promises, deliberately and solemnly given, and afterward of looking mo calmly In tho face, expressing friendship and appar ently not at all ashamed or embar rassed not even angered when bluntly told my opinion of his con duct. Mr. Ryan has tho tendencies which, if his lines had been cast in a humble and contracted sphere, prob ably would have made him a klepto maniac. His strongest Impulse is to acquire money." Chicago Chronicle. SHAH ON HIS TRAVELS. Persian Ruler Accompanied by Nu ' merous Attendants. No European potentato has, when ho travels, so many attendants, offi cers and adjutants with him as the shah of Persia, who has recently been visiting Vienna again. He Is also ac companied by two of his little sons, to whom he pays a great deal of at tention, listening In the parlor car to their prattle with evident delight A Viennese Journalist says that were It not for the huge Jewels In his attire ho would look more like a Wallachlan shepherd than like a shah. He Is short and rather stout has sloping shoulders and a body that looks as If It might bo made of tallow or cheese. His countenance Is thin, his features relaxed, his expression blase. Though he seems almost like a caricature, there is something pathetic about his appearance. Gudgeons No Longer Biting. Confidence In Wall street Is at low obb, as evidenced by the refusal' of the public to blto at the bait thrown to It by promoters, speculators and financial adventurers. In the good old days all that was necessary to sell a new stock or bond was tho indorse ment of some alleged reputable bank ing house. The banking house would reap the harvest and let the public hold the bag. But investors havo learned av few things during the last few years and' they are now as wary of the traps set for them by designing Wall street men as they are of known confidence sharks. What is needed In Wall street Is a thorough cleaning. Weed out tho rascals, big and little, expose their crooked methods and bring them before tho bar of justice. Present methods can not continue. Baltimore News. Russell Sago as a Legislator. Everybody knows Russell Sage as a financier. Only a few remember that at ono time In his career he repre sented a New York district in con gress. He was elected to tho thirty third congress as a whig, taking his seat Dec. 5, 183. On the second day of the session he participated In a dis cussion regarding the creed of a clergyman who had been sugested for chaplain of the house. From that time on he took active part In tho de liberations of that body, proving him self a strong debater. ! .r 0Wfc.

Surgeon General Rlxey sounds a noto of warning to tho American peo plo when he declares that the death of Secretary Hay and a number of other men prominently Identified with tho government in recent years is due to too much work and too little exer cise. The statement coming from an authority so high can not bo passed without consideration. The energy of tho American Is ono of tho wonders of the world and there Is reason to bo llevo that persons In prlvato Ilfo die from tho cause that has taken so many public men. Tho mad pace ap pears to pervade nil branches of so ciety, and while Bomo men havo the wisdom to temper their toll with tho necessary exercise they appear to be the exception rather than the rule. It is therefore plain that If Americans aro to live their allotted days they must change their mode of living, but how"? Tho principles aro established and it is difficult to change them. It has become almost second nature for tho American to hustle, evidently ono of the most dangerous elements of our business life. War Has Made Chums Foes. Lady Takahlra, wife of the Japan ese minister, and Baroness Rosen, whose husband succeeds Count Cas sinl as Russian ' ambassador, were great chums In Toklo when tho baron represented his government there. Society in Washington Is somewhat Interested to know Just how these, two women will act when they meet The Baroness Rosen loves music and poet ry, as does Lady Takahlra. Both are excellent linguists and have a wit which long ago made them conspicu ous In the diplomatic set. The wife of the Japanese minister is a dainty and gracious woman, not above five feet She can sing like a thrush, loves to wear ropes of pearls, runs to white In her gowns and In her Intensely black hair wears a diamond 'sunburst of great beauty. In Toklo tho Baroness Oyama, Lady Takahlra and Baroness Rosen were. Inseparable. All three play chess. Roosevelt's Opinion of Root. Some months ago President Roose velt uttered this estimate of Ellhu Root: "In John Hay I have a great secretary of state. In Philander Knox I havo a great attorney general. In other cabinet posts I have great men. Ellhu Root could take any of these places and fill It as well as tho man who Is now there. And, In addi tion, ho Is what probably none of these gentlemen could be a great secretary of war. Ellhu Root is tho ablest man I have known In our gov ernment service. I will go further. Ho is the greatest man that has ap peared In tho public life of any coun try, In any position, on either side of the ocean, in my time." Railroad Company's Gratitude. Nannie Gibson, a barefooted 11-year-old girl who lives with her parents In tho Black mountains of North Caro lina, is to be given a college educa tion by the Southern Railway, which will also provide for her In other ways. Some time ago a big slide oc curred on the mountain while she was home alone. She ran down tho railroad waving her red petticoat. A heavy train was stopped by her ten feet from where tho mountain had caved In. Below was an abyss sever al thousand feet deep. NO STATE OIL REFINERY.

Tho microbe of hurry, hurry, use less hurry, is in the air; so much so, In fact, that it Is almost Impossible for a city dwellor, no matter how well balanced he may bo, not to become In oculated with It Wine, women and song aro not tho only Influences that go to make up tho "pace that kills." The average life of tho business man er the society woman hurries people to catastropho as fast as does that of the "rounder" or "dissipate." Did you ever do anything on this or derrush your meals, rush your play, mako a fool ot yourself running half a block for a car already crowded to tho guards? You plead guilty, do you? Then you aro going a pace that kills just as suroly as tho more widely hen aided pace. Kansas City Star. 18 NEW RU8SIAN BEAUTY. Baroness Rosen Takes Place of the Countess Cassinl. A new Russian beauty Is In Wash ington to take the place of the dash ing Countess Cassinl, adopted daugh ter of the former ambassador and the warm chum of Alice Roosevelt. The newcomer Is Miss Isabel Rosen, daughter of Baron Rosen, tho newly named ambassador and ono of tho en voys who will endeavor to frame a treaty of peaco between Russian and Japan. Miss Rosen Is fifteen years old, Is .very pretty and In the social gossip of tho capital she already has been assigned a place similar to that occu pied by the Countess Cassinl. Cost of Good Government. The greater tho responsibilities as sumed by municipalities in adminis tering public utilities, the greater are tho knowledge and vigilance necessary for every citizen. Good government and protection from abuse ot public trusts cost not only money but per sonal study and service of every one concerned In these trusts. Bad polit ical organization must be overcome by good ones as efficiently led, as well equipped with money and as vigilant ly supported by honest citizens, This is the most Important lesson of Amer ican citizenship. Public business will expand and succeed Just as fast as all the people enter Into active partner ship In it, and no faster. Congrega tlonallst. Millionaire Marries Housekeeper. George Baum, a 70-year-old Phila delphia millionaire who made his money In the leather business, has just married his housekeeper, a good looking Irish woman 28 years old. The ceremony was performed In church, a crowd of over 2,000 being present, with nearly as many outside waiting to see the happy pair enter and leave. Mr. and Mrs. Baum will spend part of their honeymoon at Capo May, after which they will take an ocean trip on a new yacht which Is now being completed. r i "-n J " '.

"Field ifoil Stream" notos that" Ano child in five In this country spciM tho years between tho ages of ten to" fifteen at work fn coal mines, fac tories or sffttffar places. Education Is at a standstill; there Is no recreation In flold or forest; nothing to dovclop mind or character, everything, on the contrary, to hinder or distort their growth. At fifteen tho unhappy little creatures, dwarfed In overy direction, pass Into circulation. In a few years our citizens' roll will bo one-fifth mndo up ot such. In his Installation address Presi dent Roosevelt said many flno things about our duty nnd our dawning des tiny to lead the world. Mako any nl lownnco you Judge fit for possible over-statement In tho figures wo quote, tho picture will not bo greatly re lieved. For thero Is tho other nnd worso sido of it that child labor Is one, nnd only one, product of tho flireed nnd Indifference of Uiobo who aro knowingly operative In causing this stupendous plcco of cruelty. Thoy nro n worso blot on tho roll than tho children, become adults, will bo. In what are wo to lend tho world? Humanity of conduct? tlsclflsh disre gard for gain?

Morally and mentally dwarfed mon and wom en, thoy aro prematurely fathers and mothers whoso children reglstor and roflcct tho moral and mental status of their parents. Wo onco held theso "truths to bo solf-ovldence: that all men nro en dowed by their Crcrtor with certain Inallennblo rights, that among these nro life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness." But perhaps tho signers of tho Dec laration ot Independence were not thinking of children In thoso moment ous daysl Now Century Path. Cabman Felt He Owed Debt Tho Rov. 8. Parkes Cadman of Brooklyn tells a story of how a cab man of this city onco refused to ac cept pay for his services. Dr. Cad man had been calling on Bishop Pot ter. Aftor arriving at tho ferry on his wny homo ho tendered the usual feo to tho man who had driven him down. Tho man declined to tako It, and a beautiful smllo lit up his tanned feat ures. "I'd llko to know why you won't tako this money," said tho clergyman. "I'll tell you," camo tho answor. "I onco heard you preach In tho Metro politan Temple, and at the close oi tho sorvlco you laid your hand on my shouldor and said to me, 'For God's eako be a man.' I had been a drunken sot for years, but that set mo right about face. I now own this horse and carriage, live with my wife and children in a snug little flat, and havo $1,500 In tho bank. It's no Btrango thing that you should forget mo, but I haven't forgotten you." Now York Times. Wise Sister -Mary. Mary had a llttlo lamb, its flceco was white as snow; It strayed away ono summer day where Iambs should never go. Then Mary sat her down and tears streamed slowly from her eyes; sho never found tho lamb be causo sho did not advertise. And Mary had a brother John, who kept a village store; he sat down and smoked his pipe and watched tho open door. And as tho peoplo passed along and did not stop to buy, John still sat down and smoked bis pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. And so the brokers seized his stock, but still ho lingered nearnd Mary came to drop with him a sympathetic tear. "How Is It, slstor, can you tell why other shoppers here sell all theh goods so quickly and thrive from year to year?" Remembering now her own bad lock, tho llttlo maid replies, "These other fellows fatten, John, because they ad vertise." London Tit Bits. Sensitiveness of Humorists. A poet at a banquet of humorists told a story of R. K. Munklttrlck, American's veteran Joke writer. "Blank and I spent the night with Mr. Munklttrlck at his, fine New Jer sey home In May," he said, "and the next morning wo came in to New York on the train together. "Mr. Munklttrlck had brought along a bundle of funny papers to beguile the ride with, and, picking up one ot theso Journals, Blank began to read it After a while he turned to Mr. Mun klttrlck and said: " 'So this Is ono ot your Jokes, Is It? Ha, ha, ha!' "Tho veteran Joko writer said In a hurt. Indignant tone: '"Well, what aro you laughing at? Isn't It a good ono?' " 1,100 Francs for King's Umbrella? The king of the Belgians once lift his umbrella in a hansom when driv ing In Brussels. This was returned to his majesty a few hours afterward by the proud "cabby," who was offered tor his honesty by King Leopold the sum ot 100 francs. Tho astute Jehu, however, begged a great faror of the king. Could ho have tho umbrella instead of the money? The favor was granted, and before many days had passed the cabman nnd put up the umbrella tor sale, and It was knocked town to some royal enthusiast tor 1,100 francs. When King Leopold neard of this he exclaimed: "Well, I've heard of an umbrella being put ip to keep off showers of rain-; but this seems to have been put up to bring down showers nf cold!" .rmrfit gt A VETERAN OF THE BLACK HAWK, MEXICAN AND THE CIVIL WARS.
