Took Howells for r Crook.
A Hoston business man who has a
vt-ry poor opinion of the detectives in
that city sent for two of tlnni recently
and showed the photograph of a rather
tough-looking person whose identity
he seemed anxious to learn. One of
the sleuths at once identified the man
as a noted bank robber; the other in
clined to the belief that it was an
t onally notorious forger. They finally
agreed that it was the bank robber,
whereupon the business man showed
the back of the photograph on which
they read the original's name Wil
liam Dean Howells. When the authoi
heard that he had been mistaken foi
a noted criminal he thoughtfully ob
served that he could not blame thf
detectives.

A Veteran's Story.
Eath, X. Y., April 13th. The first
onsideration of the Commandant and
Officers in the conduct of the Soldiers
ami Sailors' Home here is the health
of the Veterans. Kidney Troubles are
the most common cause cf ailment,
very few of the old mm escaping these
in s-ome form or other.
Of course the comrades do as much
as iossible for themselves, and one or
the most popular and useful remedies
employed is Dodd's Kidney Pills,
which seem to be almost infallible in
rases of Kidney derangements. Indeed
there are among the veterans several
who claim to owe their lives to Dodd's
Kidney Fills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers. who ca.ne
to the hame from Minneapolis, Minn.,
was given up by four doctors in that
city. He had Bright's Disease, and
never expected to live through it, but
his life was saved and his health re
stored by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men. and no
one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills
for any Kidney Trouble has been dis
appointed. About 1.700 instances or drunken
ness were punished in the Sixth corps,
numbering 25,000 men, last year.

of the prevalent complaints about the

suggests the question whether the re

the bacillus of laziness is called, has
not some connection with this sudden
epidemic of brain fag. The brain is a

We have raised a race of men who
have gone down to the sea in ships
on the most hazardous of enterprises,
says the New Bedford Mercury. No
men have hourly for a lifetime taken
such disastrous chances as our whale
men, and tneir voyages have been fre
quently crowded with moving acci
dents, hairbreadth escapes and dis
tressful strokes. And we go to these
men. like Desdemona. "with a greedy
car to devour up their discourse." The
records of the thrilling voyages of our
whalemen are kept in log books and
in the hundreds of volumes stored in
old sail lofts. Mow many of us have
pored over them to have our nerves
played upon after the manner of the
fictionists. but it is not there. And
we seek out. the man whose ship is
struck and sunk by a whale in mid
ocean, and who takes to the boats
and reac hes land after weeks of buf
feting, and the men whose ships are
crushed in the ice., and their story is
as prosaic as the story of the man
who goes to the day's work in the

boat journey of Dr. Kane, of a tramp
in the Arctic ice by Nansen. Last

Many of Them Are Doing Good Work in Rural Free De
livery Lose Little Time Gossiping and Are
Valued by the Postoffice Department.
Within the last few months the
women of the country districts of the
United States have found a new occu
pation in the government service.
Some hundreds of them all over the
country have been appointed rural let
ter carriers, and the reports to the de
partment show that the women have
done wonderfully well in their new
occupation.
Indeed, only a few days ago Supt.
Machen of the Free Delivery Division
of the Postoffice department received
reports that a number of his female
rural carriers braved the severe bliz
zards in the West, and while acting as
substitutes for the men carriers made
the daily deliveries in the deep snow
and sleet of the blizzard in a most
remarkable and satisfactory manner.
There are at present no less than
thirty-seven female rural letter car
riers, that is. thirty-seven women who
have stood the civil service examina
tions and passed so well that they ex
celled the male candidates and have
been appointed regular rural carriers,
not substitutes.
Under the rules for the appointment
Home Flower Gardens.
Orow the flowers you want and do
not want too many. Most persons,
when they make a garden, order a
quantity of labels fatal mistake! La
bels are for collections of plants col
lections so big that j-ou cannot remem
ber, and when you cannot remember,
you lose the intimacy, and when you
lose the intimacy you lose the essence
of the garden. Choose a few plants
for the main plantings. These must
be hardy, vigorous, sure to thrive
whether it rains or shines. These
plants j-ou can buy in quantity, and in
large, strong specimens. Each clump
or group or border may be dominated
by one kind of plant foxgloves, holly
bocks, spirreas, asters. The odd and
unusual things you may grow as in
cidents, as jewelry is an incident to
good dress. Miscellaneous mixtures
are rarely satisfactory. The point is
that the character of the home garden
should be given by the plants that are
most sure to thrive. The novelties
and oddities should be subjects of ex
periment; if they fail, the garden
still remains. Country Life in Amer

''Brain Fag,
any fuss whatever. Now and then, to
be biire. it appears to be raising a
great disturbance. Its plaint of agony
on Mich tK-casions is heard through
the whole system. But the chance
are that it is merely fighting some
other organ's battle the stomach's.
probably, or very likely the liver, or it i
may be that cold feet have sent an un
due flow of blood to the head. As to
becoming "brain fagged." it is ex
trmely rare that the hardest work
tires the i.rain out. The seat of the
trouble is not there. The brain grows
brighter by work. It was made for
toil. It works while we sleep, and
tites not seem to mind that. Nine
times out of ten those who think they
have tired brains simply have tired
consciences, or much more customar
ily, weary and sadly overworked stom
achs. Or else they have those same
redoubtable and pestiferous germs,
the hookworms of laziness. The very
excellent Mail and Express of New
York recently found that the hook
worm had seized upon all too many
of Its staff, and it set about applying
a cure. It gives the following recipe:
Take a large dose of determination
every morning, fortified with a cold
bath on rising, and followed up by an
hourly dose of persistence." It guar
antees that this will dissipate brain
fag as the rays of tlu- summer . in
scatter the dew. Try if.
New Bedford,
made a boat journey in Hudson bay as
remarkable as the journey of 4)r.
Kane, and he had nothing to say ex
cept that it was four weeks and five
days from the time he left his ship in
a whaleboat with two comrades until
he reac hed a fur station. In answer to
persistent questioning a reporter
dragged from him that it was "hard
work." and a shipmate spoke up for
the adventurer and explained to a re
porter that there was not a minute of
those five weeks, night or day. when
the little boat was not menaced by the
floating ice which piled up about them
on occasions as high as the church
steeples. And against Nansen's per
formance we can produce a whaleman
who put half a dozen pieces of hard
bread in his pocket and, in midwinter,
left his ship in the Arctic, in latitude
75 or thereabouts, and walked 1,5oO
miles back to civilization. And to
save him he couldn't understand why
the reporters wanted to talk with
him. He didn't see why he was an
object of interest.
Hence it is our habit to say, often
in the spirit of criticism or at least
regret, that our whal&man is not "im
aginative." Carry the Mail
of rural carriers the regular carrier
after his appointment has the right to
name a substitute, who is to do his
work when the carrier is sick or inca
pacitated for work. Generally the
carrier appoints some member of his
family, as he has to supply his horse
and wagon for the service, and of late
the carriers have been naming their
wives, sisters or daughters and some
times their mothers as their substi
tutes. The department has found that
these substitutes have performed good
work, and that their sex has not inter
fered with the rural delivery, so when
a woman is named now as a substitute
she is accepted.
The department officials say that
women make very good rural carriers,
and they do not lose time gossiping
when delivering the mail as one would
suppose, and that the innate love of
gadding about and visiting their
friends to see what is going on makes
the female like the work and forget
the drudgery and hardships incident
to a daily drive of twenty, thirty or
even more miles in all sorts of
weather.
Too Much for che Jockey.
James R. Keene, anticipating the
opening of a new racing season, went
outside his own wide experience &s
an employer of jockeys when he re
lated a story concerning an over
anxious horse-owner and a particular
ly conscientious rider. The horse
owner had issued full orders as to
the .ay a horse was to be ridden in
a coming race to a small negro boy,
the only rider he could secure. The
original orders then were added to,
with provisions for all sorts of emer
gencies, until the jockey became be
wildered. "Look yere. boss." the boy broke
in at last. "Dis yere race is only one
mile. I kain't do all you done told
me in just one mile." New York

Urges Change in College Methods.
Prof. Dewey of the Boston Institute

Where Toads Are Respected.

Second Warden E. A. McPherson
clijibed the prison wall at Salem. Ore.,
the other night to test the vigilance
of guards. Mcpherson's feat was per
formed at the risk of his life. Had
he been discovered he would probably
have been instantly shot. He placed
a ladder against the exterior of the
wall, climbed up, lowered his ladder
in the jail yard, and descended. He
went through the prison shops, and as
a final touch carried away the coat and
hat of one of the guards. It was from
this jail that the famous Tracy es
caped last summer, and it is supposed
that the rifle with which he fought his

over the yerd fence.
Reed and the Spanish War.

and colleagues was telling story the

About the time war was declared Reed
came out of his hotel one morning
boiling mad. To a friend he declared:
"I would not give a drop of American
blood for all the 'dagoes and negroes
in the island of Cuba. I would not
give the life of one American to save
3.000,000 of them. No. sir. I would
not. except perhaps " here a smile
spread over his big face and he re
lapsed into his "down Ea;t" drawl
"yes, I believe I might sacrifice Sen

whom he held responsible for much of
the feeling that resulted in the war
with Spain, and who is Etill a member

The girls are to compete in the prep
aration of good, everyday dishes and
in general cookery. Probably Grape
Nuts and Postum Coffee will come in
for some attention incidentally, but
the tests will be conducted under the
daily direction of the housewife and
735 cooks will win varying cash prizes
from $200.00 down to $3.00. no one is
required to pay anything whatever to
enter this contest and each winner
will receive a large certificate or di
ploma with the big Postum seal in gilt,
a badge of distinction much to be
sought after. Particulars can be bad

or five times a year for the past few
years I have suffered wlh severe at
tacks of pain In my back, caused from
kidney trouble. During these spells I
was In such misery from the constant
puin and aching that It was almost im
possible for me to stoop or struighlcn
and it really seemed as If the whoitf
small of my buck had given nway. At
times I also had difficulty wll"
kidney secretions which were discol
ored, irregular and scalding, and 1 was
also prettily distressed with headaches
and dizziness. I used a number of
recommended remedies but I nvcr
found anything so successful an Doan's
Kidney Pills. When 1 beard of them
I had an attack and procured a box
of them. In a few days the pnln and
lameness disappeared, the trouble
with 'he kidney secretions was cor
rected and my system was Improved
generally. I have every confidence lu
Do&n's Kidney Pills."
