A BAD THING TO NEGLECT.
Don't neglect the kidneys when you
notice lack of control oyer the secre
tions. Passages become too frequent
or scanty; urine is discolored and sedi
ment appears. No medicine for such
troubles like Doan’s
Kidney Pills. They
quickly rethove kid
ney disorders.
Mrs. A. E. Fulton,
311 Skidmore St,
Portland, Ore0 says:
My limbs swelled
terribly and I was
bloated over the
stomach and had
puffy spots beneath
the eyes. My kidneys
were very unhealthy and the secre
tions much disordered. The dropsical
swellings began to abate after I began
using Doan’s Kidney Pills and soon I
was cured.”

had measles, and during their rather
long stay In the Improvised home hos

daily visit with pleased acclamation.
The good doctor felt duly flattered,
but rashly pressed the children, In the

of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most Indiscreet let slip
the better truth.

My friend Squire Tom Is the son of
I. Tennessee man, who was born In
Virginia, and a Cherokee woman.
When the civil war began he was a
tnere boy, but he promptly Joined the
confederate army, and became a scout,
Brst for General Joe Wheeler and then
for General N. B. Forrest.
Upon one occasion his little party
was ordered to make the nearest pos
sible approach to Nashville, take care
ful observations of the strength of the
•ltuation of the enemy and report to
the commanding general.
As they were proceeding rather lel
lurely through a fertile section of mid
ale Tennessee to give the horses a lit
tle rest toward noontide they were
lurprised by a force of federal cavalry,
knd In Squire Tom’s own words, "did
Ihe only thing that was left for us to
ao, and ran like the devil.”
Duck river was somewhat swollen,
but under the Inspiration of a sharp
Ore from their pursuers they forced
their horses into the stream and all
Imerged on the opposite bank without
tasualty save Tom, whose horse was
Ihot and killed
Being an expert swimmer he succeed
td In securing the bridle and saddle
knd getting safely ashore with his val
uable burden.
The party was now In a forest, and
for the time being comparatively safe,
but it was imperative that those who
Were mounted should push on as far as
was possible during daylight.
The lieutenant in cqmmand said to
the unfortunate boy: “Tom, you are in
k desperate predicameht, but I know of
Uo other way than for us to leave you
lo your fate, and may God bless you.
toodby.”
"All that I ask of you,” replied Tom,
■Is that you will throw a green branch
upon the right hand side of the road!
Whenever you leave Notchey Trace,”
tor he knew that they would leave
ihat highway at night when they were
ready to go Into oamp. Notchey Trace
was ao called because In those wild
lays the way through the forest was
Indicated by cutting notches In the
trees to tell the miles as well as per
form the functions of guide posts when
ihe road was not plain.
"I will do that, you may be sure,”
laid the lieutenant, “but what earthly
pood will that do you? We shall travel
It least twenty-five miles before we
po into camp, and you have no horse,
we must break camp and push on be
fore daylight in the morning.”
"I will be with you when you break
lamp,” said Tom.
The lieutenant pressed his hand

\\
—TTrjiii
warmly, the boys all bade him a re- I
luctant, and, as they believed, a last I
goodby, and away they went at a
iwift gallop.
Tom proceeded along the road that
they had taken until he came to a large i
torn field. Into the midst of this lie j
plunged, and there kneeled upon the
ground, in obedience to a promise made
to his Indian mother, who was a de
vout Christian, and whose implicit
faith would put to shame the feebler
quality given to many people of greater
pretensions, that he would always ap
peal to God for help in cases of emer
gency.
“I went at it in mighty earnest,” said
Bquire Tom, "but with the most im
plicit faith that God would hear and
answer my prayer. It may seem ridic
ulous to you that I should have prayed
bo long and so earnestly while intend
ing all the time to steal the first horse
that I laid eyes upon, but I was pray
ing for a horse, and I believed that
God would send me one, to take as a
gift from Him or to steal as a neces
sity of war.”
It was 11 o’clock in the forenoon
when his companions left him. It was
noon when he entered the corn field.
It was sundown when he heard sounds
as of a body of men and a train of
wagons moving up the road, and there
upon brought his long prayer to a
close. He crept to a point where he
could see, and sure enough a body of
federal troops and a wagon train were
passing by.
Hungry and thirsty to the point of
faintness, Tom was rejoiced beyond
expression when he discovered a large
number of fine watermelons in the part
of the corn field where he was now
standing. Eating as much of the de
licious fruit as he wished, he crept
along, concealed by the friendly corn,
until he saw the federal force going
into camp near a barn and some cribs.
He remained concealed until after
darkness had fallen, and, fortunately
tor him, pale moonlight soon succeed
ed. With everything became still he
reconnoitered and discovered that a
number of horses were grazing not very
far from the barn. The position of the
sentries he could not make out, but
the risk of challenge was one that
must be taken.
Lying down and dragging his saddle
and bridle as best he could, he crept
to the nearest horse and tried to se
cure it, but the animal gave a slight
snort and ran away from him. He
made several attempts with similar re
sults, but finally came to a large ani
mal which showed no fear.
Quickly placing his saddle and bridle
Becurely for a desperate ride he mount
ed, and avoiding the road, where he
knew sentries were sure to be posted,
[ he made oft into the fields and over
fences, until he felt fairly secure from
successful pursuit. Then, having a fine
knowledge of stars and woodcraft in
general, he took observations, and pro
ceeded in the general direction of the
spot he thought his comrades were
likely to have left the road, avoiding it,
and still proceeding through fields, for
ests and over fences.
Even in this emergency the lessons
which his mother had taught him were
II
an exclamation, "Why, boys, look!
There Is a strange horse!”
The presence of the animal caused a I
good deal of consternation; but when,
one of the scouts discovered Tom rolled
up in his blanket and called attention
to him, the lieutenant exclaimed, in
enthusiasm, w'hich military discipline,
did not check, "Well, if there ain’t that
darned Injun!”
In turn every man in the party gave
their companion, so unexpectedly re
turned to them, a sound hug and a;
“God bless you, Tom, my boy!”
It proved that the horse which Tom]
had stolen as an answer to his half-j
day-long prayer was the property of
the wagon master, and the best traveler
in the federal command.
The President's Pay.
Prom the Washington Star.
President Roosevelt gets his alary
the last day of each month. It is taken
to the White House by a messenger
from the treasurer's office in the shape
of a check, and handed over to the
official who has been directed to look
after It.
The president’s salary of $60,000 a
year is divided into eight checks of $4,
166.67 each and four checks of $4,
166.66 each. Two months out of every
three the president gets a check for
the larger sum and the other month
he gets 1 cent less on his check. This
has been the custom for many years
and a mistake was never made but
once. That was during the second ad
ministration of President Cleveland.
One month when his check should have
been $4,166.67, the bookkeeoer made It
out for only $4,166.66. When the books
were balanced at the end of the fiscal
year it was found that the president
was due 1 cent by the government. The
officials with great solemnity, made out
a check on the United Stated treasurer
for this amount and forwarded it to
Mr. Cleveland. Because It was the
smallest sum a warrant was eifeF
drawn for upon the government it was
kept as a souvenir and was never pre
sented. If the ex-president desires to
do so at any time It will be promptly
cashed.
President Roosevelt's checks are
taken to the White House by the same
messenger each time. His name is Wil
liam R. Padgett, and he is employed In
the treasurer's office. He was for a
long time a sergeant In Battery A,
Fourth United States artillery, and
served in the army at different points.
He served in the marine corps prior to
enlisting In the army and went over
the world. His service to the govern
ment was honest and faithful through
out and his record when he gave up his
uniform was good. He delights in go
ing to fhe White House with the check
for the president and takes as much
care of it as If he were handling as
much cash.
Padgett lives In Alexandria, Va_, be
ing a Virginian by birth.

All of the knowledge that he had of
the country was that a settlement

the road and that his comrades would
be encamped on the right of it. Where
the road was he had but little Idea. He
wanted to know where Lousy Level
was In order that he might go In the

Toward midnight he came to a farm
louse, and with that one bit of Infor
mation as a pretext he dared to arouse
the farmer and ask the direction to
that locality. In reply to a question,
which was natural In thoso troublous
times, he replied that his mother was
sick over on the Level, and he had
been after a doctor.
As soon as the farmer had returned
to the house Tom went to the spring

bans of milk, and stopped long enough
to drink the contents of one, which was
i mighty source of strength for his

Controlled Newspaper*.
The Atchison Globe says that no ad
vertiser has ever tried to control Its ed
itorial policy, the remark being occa
sioned by the charge often made nowa
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience of the Globe Is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of ad
vertising is more Interested in the cir
culation department of a newspaper
than In the editorial department. If a
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and Is read by them, he Is satis
fied, and It may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
of his own, and he Isn’t trying to shoul
der those.of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and a good many of them, more’s the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con
trolled by chronic offlceseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers Is always raised In
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu
ally is controlled by fts owner, and he
Is supposed to be In duty bound to make
all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts oS
times; there are people who consider
it his duty to Insult his advertisers.
Just to show that he Is free and inde
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make It possible for him to
carry on the business, he is ‘‘subsi
dized’’ or “controlled." The newspaper
owner Is a business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer
chants are expected to have considera
tion for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher Is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he Is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. It Is a funny com
bination when you think it over.—

Theodore Roosevelt and Party In White Steamer.)
After fifteen months’ absence, exact
ly as scheduled, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt disembarked from the Kai
aerin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn
ing, June 18, at 11 a. m. To the keen
disappointment of a large group of
newspaper correspondents, Mr, Roose
velt absolutely refused, as heretofore,
to be interviewed or to talk on politi
cal subjects, but his rapid fire of ques
tions showed the same virile interest
in public affairs as before.
If the welcome tendered by the
vast throng may be* considered a
criterion upon which to base a “re
turn from Elba,” surely there was no
discordant note in the immense recep
tion-parade, nor in the wildly clamor

glimpse and hung on his very word.
The incidents of the day In New

better illustrated the nervous energy
and vitality of the man, the near-mania
to be up-and-doing, which he has
