Main St., Lcwiston, Idaho, says: "For two years I was crip pled with sciatic rheumatism In ruy thighs and could not get about with out crutches. The kidney secretions became Irregular, painful, and showed a heavy sediment. Doctors were not helping mo bo I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills.

One million women, representing cities, towns, villages and isolated rural settlements in every section of the country, are to-day enlisted in a campaign ngnlnst tuberculosis, accord ing to a statement Issued by the Na tional Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In legis latures, in congress at Washington, in society gatherings, in churches and clubs, through speaking and writing in every possible way, the women of the country are persistently fighting consumption. With an organization established In every state of the country, under the direction of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and with associated clubs in Alaska, the Hawaiian islands, Porto Rico and the canal zone, the women of the country have entered a systematic crusade to carry the mes sage of the prevention and cure of tuberculosis into every American home. Logical Reasoning. A certain young man's friends thought he was dead, but he was only In a state of coma. When, in ample time to avoid being buried, he showed signs of life, he was asked bow it seemed to be dead. "Dead?" he exclaimed. "I wasn't dead. I knew all that was going on. And I knew I wasn't dead, too, be cause my feet were cold and I was hungry." "Rut how did that fact make you think you were still alive?" asked one of the curious. "Well, this way: I knew that if I were in heaven I wouldn't be hun gry. And if I was in the other flscs my feet wouldn't be cold." OVER THE FENCE Neighbor Says Something. The front yard fonce is a famous council plnco on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street, or for friendly gossip with next door neighbor. Sometimes it is only small talk but other times neighbor baa something really good to offer. An old resident of Itaird, Texas, got some mighty good advice this way once. He says: "Drinking coffee left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stomach, back and side, and bo weak I could scarcely walk. "One day 1 was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her I believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor said she knew lots of people to whom coffee was poison and she pleaded with me to quit it and give Postum a trial. 1 did not take her advlco right away but tried a change of climate, which did not do me any good. Then I dropped coffeo and took up Postum. "My improvement began Immediate ly nnd I got better every day 1 used Postum. "My bowels became regular in two weeks, all my pains were gone. Now I am well nnd strong nnd can eat any thing I want to without distress. All of this is due to my liavlng quit cof fee, and to the uso of Postum regU' larly. "My son who was troubled with Indl' gestlon thought that if Postum helped me so, it might help him. It did, too, ana lie is now well nud strong again "Wo like Postum as well as we ever liked the coffee and uso it altogether in my mnilly in plnco of coffee and all keep well." "There's a Reason."

My courage always has an odd way of disappearing when I am expecting to use it, although I must say, when I have had actual occasion for it I have always found it easily at hand. I can not deny that I was very much fright ened for Giles on the morning of the meeting, and, to add to my misery, I heard that Overton was considered one of the best shots in England. The dreary breakfast gulped down; the postchalse rattling up to the door I had hoped until the last moment that it would not come; the bumping along the road In the cool, bright sum mer morning; the gruesome, long, nar row box that lay on the front seat of the chaise; the packet of letters which Giles had given me and which seemed to weigh a hundred tons in my pocket all these were so many horrors to haunt the memory forever. But I must say that, apparently, the misery was all mine; for I never saw Giles Vernon Ehow so much as by the flicker of an eyelash that he was disturbed in any way. About half way from the meeting ground we left the highway and turned Into a by-road; and scarcely had we gone half a mile when we almost drove into a broken-down chaise, and standing on the roadside among the furze bushes were the coachman, the surgeon a most bloody-minded man I always believed him Mr. Buxton and Overton. Our chaise stopped, and Giles, put ting his head out of the window, said, pleasantly: "Good-morning, gentle men; you have had an accident, I see." "A bad one." replied Mr. Ruxton. who saw that their chaise was beyond help, and who, as he said afterward, was playing for a place In our chaise, not liking to walk the rest of the dis tance. Giles Jumped out and so did I, and the most courteous greetings were ex changed. The two drivers, as experts, ex amined the broken chnise, and agreed there was no patching it up for ser vice; one wheel was splintered. Mr. Buxton looked at Giles mean ingly, and then at me, and Giles whispered to me: "Offer lo take 'em up. By Jupiter, they shall see we are no shirkers." Which I did, and, to my amnzemont, in a few moments wo were all lumber ing along the road; Overton and Mr. Ruxton on the back seat, and Giles and I with our backs to the horses, while the surgeon was alongside the coachman on the box. Nothing could exceed the politeness between tho two principals, about the sents as about everything else. Over ton was with difficulty persuaded to take the back seat. Mr. Ruxton seated himself there without any introduction. (I hopo it will never again bo my for tune to negotiate so delicate an affair as a meeting between gentlemen with one so much my superior In rank as Mr. Ruxton.) "May I ask, Mr. Overton, if you pre fer the window down oc up?" asked Giles, with grent deference. "Either, dear sir," responded Over ton. "I believe it was up when you kindly invited us to enter." "True; but you may be sensitive to the air, nnd may catch cold." At which Mr. Ruxton grinned In a heartless manner. The window re mnlncd up. We were much crowded with the two pistol-rases and the surgeon's box of instruments, which to me appeared more appalling than the pistols. At lust we reached the spot o small, flat pluce under a sweetly blooming hawthorn hedge, with some verdant oaks at either end. Giles nnd Overton were so perupu X)us about taking precedence of each THE LOVES of the LADY ARABELLA By HOLLY ELLIOT SEAWELL other in getting out of the chaise that i nnd strong nopes tne uay woum pass liefore they came to a decision; but Mr. Ruxton finally got out him self and pulled bis man after him, and then we wero soon marking off the ground, and 1 was feeling that mortal sickness which had attacked me the first time I was under fire in the Ajax. Overton won the toss for position, nnd at that I could have lain down and wept. Our men were placed 20 paces apart, with their backs to each other. At the word "one" they wero to turn, ad vance and firo between the words "two" and "three." This seemed to me the most murderous arrangement I had ever heard of. The stories I had so lately heard about Overton's proficiency with Ihe pistol made me think, even if ho did not kill Giles intentionally, he would attempt some expert trick with the pistol, which would do the business equally well. I knew Giles to be a very poor shot, and concluded that he, through awkwardness, would prob ably put an end to Overton, and I re garded them both as doomed men. I shall never forget my feelings as we were placing our men, or after Mr. Ruxton and I had retired to a place under the hedge. Just as we had se lected our places, Giles, looking over his shoulder, said in his usual cool, soft voice: "Don't you think, gentlemen, you had better move two or three furlongs off? Mr. Overton may grow excited nnd firo w ild." I thought this a most dangerous ns well as foolish speech, and calculated to Irritate Overton; and for the first time 1 saw a gleam of anger In his eye, which had hitherto been mild, and even sad. For I believed then, and knew afterward, that his mind was far from easy on the subject of dueling. 1 wish to say here that 1 also believe, hnd he been fully convinced that duel ing was wrong, ho would bavo declined to fight, no matter what the conse quence had been; for I never knew a man with more moral courage. Rut at the time, although his views were changing on the subject, they were not wholly changed. Mr. Ruxton, without noticing Giles' speech, coughed once or twico, and Overton Took Off His Hat and Bowed. then waited two or threo minutes be fore giving the word. The summer sun shone brilliantly, turning the distant river to a silver ribbon. A thrush rioted musically in the hawthorn hedge. All things spoke of life and hope, but to my sinking heart insensate Nature only mocked us. I heard, as in a dream, the words "one, two, three" slowly uttered by Mr. Ruxton, and saw, still as In a dream, both men turn and raise their pistols. Overton's was discharged first; then, as he stood like a man In marble waiting for his adversary's fire, Giles raised his pistol nnd, taking deliberate aim at tho bird still singing In the hedge, brought It down. It was a mere lucky shot, but Overton took off his bat and bowed to tho ground, and Giles responded by taking off his hat and showing a hole through tho brim. "Vou see, Mr. Glyn," said Overton, "I have done according to my prom ise. It waB not my Intention to kill Mr. Vernon, but only to frighten him" which speech Mr. Ruxton and I con sidered as a set-off to Giles' speech Just before shots were exchanged. Tho two principals remained where they were, while Mr. Buxton nnd I re tired behind the hedgo to confer or, rather, for Mr. Ruxton to say to me: "Another shot would be damned nonsense. My man is satisfied, or shall be, else I am a Dutch trooper. Certainly you have nothing to com plain of." I was only too happy in accept this solution, but more out of objection to being browbeaten by Mr. Ruxton than anything else, I said: "We shall requi.e an explanation of your principal's observation just now, sir." "Shall you?" angrily asked Mr. Rux ton, exactly in the tone he used when tho carpenter's mate complained that tho jacko'the-diist had cribbed bis best snw. "Then I shall call your man to account In regnrd to his Inte obser vation, nnd we can keep them pop ping away at each oilier all day. Hut this Is no slaughter pen, Mr. Glyn, nor am I the ship's butcher, nnd I shall take my man back to town and give him a glass of spirits und some break fast, and I advise you to do the same. You are very young, Mr. Glyn, and you still need to know a thing or two." Then, advancing from behind the hedge, be said In the dulcet tone be used when the ndmlral asked him to hava wine; "Gentlemen, Mr. Glyn and myself, j after conferring, have agreed that tho honor of our principals is fully estab lished, and that the controversy Is completely at an end. Allow me to congratulate you both" and there w as n general hand shaking all around. I noticed that the coachman, who was attentively watching tho performance, looked slightly disappointed at the turn of affairs. Straightway, we all climbed Into tho chaise, and 1 think I shall bo believed when I say that our return to town was more cheerful than our departure bad been. Wo all agreed to dlno together at Mivnrt's the next night, and I saw no reason to believe that thero was any remnant of III feeling between tho two Inte combatants. 1 returned to Rerkeley Square that afternoon, with much uneasiness con cerning my meeting and future inter course with Lady Arabella; for I had not seen her since the oecurrenco in Sir Peter's study. Although my af fection for her was forever killed by that box tin the ear she gave me, yet no man can see a woman shamed be fore him without pain, nnd the antici pation of Lady Arabella's feelings when she saw mo troubled mo. Rut this was what actually happened when we met. Lady Arabella was sitting in the C'hlneso drawing room, her lap dog In her arms, surrounded by half a dozen fops. Lady Ilawkshaw had left the room for a moment, and Ara bella had taken the opportunity of showing her trick of holding out her dog's paws nnd kissing his nose, which she cnlled measuring love-ribbon. This performance never fulled to throw gentlemen Into ecstasies. Daphne sat near, with her work in her lap and a book on tho tablo by her, smiling rath er disdainfully. I do not think the cousins loved each other. On my appearance in tho drawing room I scarcely dared look toward Liuly Arabella; but sbo called out fa miliarly: "t'omo here, Dicky!" (her habit of calling mo Dicky annoyed mo very much) "nnd let me show yon how I kiss Kldo's nose; nnd if you are a good hoy, nnd tell me nil about tho meeting this morning, perhaps I may hold your paws out and kiss your noso" at which all tho gentlemen present laughed loudly. I never was so em barrassed In my life, and my chagrin was increased when, suddenly drop ping the dog, she rushed nt me, seized my hands, nnd, holding them off at full arm's length, Imprinted a sounding smack upon my nose, nnd laughingly cried out: "One yard!" (Smack on my nose again.) "Two yards! (Smack.) "Three yards!" (Smack.) At this juncture I recovered my presence of mind enough to seize her around the waist and return her smacks with Interest full In the mouth. And nt this stage of tho proceedings Lady Ilawkshaw appeared upon the scene. In an Instant an awful hush fell upon us. For my part 1 felt my knees sinking under me, and I had that feel Ing of mortnl sickness which I had felt In my first sea-fight, and at tho Instant I thought my friend's life In jeopardy. Lady Arabella stood up, for once, confused. The gentlemen all re tired gracefully to the wall, In order not to Interrupt tho proceedings, nnd Daphne fixed her eyes upon me, spar kling with indignation. Lady Hawkshaw's volco when she spoke, seemed to come from tho tombs of the Pharaohs. "What Is this countrytom I see?" she asked. And nobody answered a word. James, the tall footman, stood be hind her; and to him she turned, say Ing In n tone like thunder: "Jeames, go nnd tell Sir Peter Hawk shaw that I desire his presence im mediately upon a matter of the great est importance." The footman literally ran down stairs, and presently Sir Peter came pulling up from tho lower regions. Ijidy Arabella had recovered herself then enough to hum a llttlo tuno and to pat the Moor with her satin slipper. Sir Peter walked In, surveyed us nil, and turned pale. I verily bellovo he thought Arnlielln had been caught cheating at cards. (TO UK CONTINUED.) WORLD'S CITIES HARD TO KILL. Rome Twice Burned. Six Times Starved Paris' Eight Sieges. Few of the world's great cities have not faced, at one time or another, to tal destruction. Rut a city is bard to kill. Take Rome, for Instance. She has been swept by pestllenco no fewer than ten times. She has been twice horned and six times driven to submis sion by starvation. Perhaps it Is on account of her great vitality that sho Is called tho Kternnl city. Paris hnB gone through eight sieges, ten famines, two plagues and one fire which devastated It. Constantinople hns been burned out nine times and has suffered from four plagues and five sieges. In addition, Bhe has been ruled by monarchs who wero worse than a plague. Yet Con stantinople still flourishes. London has been decimated five times by plagues, In addition to visita tions of typhus, cholera and other epi demics. She has been burned more or less severely several times. Stray Stories. What He Wanted. "Sir," said the agent, addressing the mnn who had opened the door In an swer to his knock. "I am introducing a patent burglar alarm and thought perhaps you mlnht bo Interested." Well, I'm not," growled tho mnn on the other side of the door. "What I wunt Is a device that will put burglars to sleep Instead of alarming them." CSS?
