People in every walli ! of life have bad backs. Kidneys go / wrong and : the back be gins to ache. Cure sick kidneys and backache quickly dls- * appears. Read this a w vii t e s t i monv and learn how It can bo done. A. A. Boyce, a farmer living three and a halt miles from Trenton, Mo., says: "A severe cold settled in my kidneys and developed so quickly that I was obliged to lay off work on ac count of the aching In my back and sides. For a time I was unable to walk at all, and every makeshift I tried and all the medicine I took had not the slightest effect. My back con tinued to grow' weaker until I was un fit for anything. Mrs. Boyce noticed Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised as a sure cure for just such conditions, and one day when in Trenton she brought a box home from Chas. A. Foster’s drug store. I followed the directions carefully when taking them and I must Eay I was more than surprised and much more gratified to notice the backache disappearing gradually, until it finally stopped.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Boyce will he mailed on application to any part of the United States.

RACEHORSES IN OLD AGE; MANY ARE DRAWING CABS The question of the ultimate dis position of the pins and needles has been debated most exhaustively, and possibly the subject has been satis factorily settled. The problem as to what becomes of all the racehorses is rather more intricate and requires diligent inquiry. "What becomes of all the race horses?” was asked of Frank Farrell, owner of Blues and the Greater New York baseball club, which are said to be coupled in the netting. ”1 don’t know,” replied Mr. Farrell with deliberation, "but 1 have strong convictions ns to what should become of some of them.” It was evident Mr. Farrell's usually sunny disposition had been temporar ily clouded by a loss of confidence in some members of the equine family, and the writer did not press the query. When John E. Madden was asked the question he said cheerily: “Why, that's easy. They keep trav eling about like the birds. Go South and West in the winter and North in the summer. Yes, sir, this prom ises to be the greatest racing season in the history of the sport.” As the replies of Messrs. Farrell and Mad den seemed to be lacking in detail the writer asked the same question of W. C. Fessenden, trainer, owner and former baseball expert. “What becomes of the racehorses, eh?” he echoed. “Well, my boy, nine out of ten break down. As soon as that happens they sre sold for what they will bring. There is many a horse that, once raced home winner in a clastic event to the shouts of thousands who now pulls a hack or a peddler’s cart. “Joe Cotton, once a grand handl cap horse. Is drawing a hark In Bos ton, while the mighty Banquet now earns his oats hauling a Ixmdon cab Salvator, Hanover, Hamburg and others are more fortunate, as they are in the stud. "But the number of stallions is being steadily restricted, with the re suit of a very large increase in the percentage of geldings on the track. The object Is to do away with the largo number of cheap and useless stalllonB. The result will be the nar rowing of sires to the most select strains and consequent improvement in the breed.” "Why does so large a proportion of thoroughbreds break down?” “That is due to the early age at which they are raced. Financial re wards seem to be for the owners of two-year-olds, and, of course, they do rot miss thedr opportunities. A spe cial effort is made in the development and racing of horses of that age, and as a majority often are not strong enough to stand the work they break down. Fully GO per cent of two-year olds fail to pass successfully through the ordeal of racing, and of the horses that begin as two-year-olds not one In a hundred Is 111 for racing at five years old. A large proportion is incapacitated for work on the track at four years. “As to the mares, very few of them are of any value as racers after their fifth year. They have a better future than the geldings and stallions, for there is always a lively demand for good breed mares. “However, as improvement in breeding goes on, we may develop a two-year-old that will bettor stand the vicissitudes of campaigning.”— New York Press. f HOW UNPOPULAR LAW GOT ON THE STATUTE BOOKS “Poor weather for skunking,” re marked one of the regular patrons cf the stove corner of the store as he took hi3 seat and shook the ac cumulation of snow from his shaggy whiskers. "'Gainst the law to catch ’em, any way,” commented the village wise man. “Did you ever hear how that law come to be passed?” queried the oracle, as he bit off a fresh chew of navy plug. No one had heard of it, hut the writ of the beer barrel ventured a remark that "the offense was rank,” and smelled to the Canada border. The oracle continued. “It was Rev. Denison of Jamestown. It's a good thing for the skunks, but it’s a joke on the reverend. You see, Mr. Denison was formerly pastor of the Baptist church at Cherry creek, and while there he joined the grange and became an active member. A while ago he moved up to Jamestown and assumed the pastorate of the Calvary Baptist church of that city. He re tained his membership in the grange. In fact he was a member of Union grange, which meets in Jamestown, and which is the largest and liveliest grange in the whole country. He was a conspicuous member of the grange, too, being in fact the chaplain. “What’s that got to do with skunks?” queried one of the group. “I'm coming to that If you won't hurry me,” continued the oracle. “Do any of you people know Rev. Deni son? Well, I'll describe him for you. He’s one of those big, open-hearted, whole-souled, jolly, liberal fellows that can be found adorning the minis try in every community, and ho has s dry fund of humor that among hia friends is simply irresistible. Well, one day the grange had been discus sing the protection of almost every kind of bird and beast that is found on the farms, and Mr. Denison, more as a joke than anything else, suggest ed that this protection should be ex tended to skunks. The skunk,” said he, with apparent earnestness, "Is a very useful animal. Moreover, he is valuable, and at the present rate of skunk hunting he will soon bo exter minated. Why not protect him as well as the fowls of the air and the fish of the deep?” "The grangers took this talk very seriously, and before the Rev. Deni son realized what had happened they were agitating skunk protection laws. It’s protecting them all right. On the farm they are thicker than due bills in January, and even in the city of Jamestown the policemen are talking about a special skunk drill to erable them to chase the animals down. There's no mistake about it. You can just wager, though, that the Rev. Denison isn’t saying much.”— New York Evening Post. HOW STVART ROBSON GOT HIS PARTNER IN TROUBLE "A very pompous old fellow at tracted my attention one evening in a restaurant,” the late Stuart RobBon, on his last visit to Washington, said to a newspaper man. “This old chap had the stiff dignity of an emperor, and it suddenly occurred to ine that it would be amusing to give him some sort of a shock. On the spur of the moment I walked up behind him, slapped him on the back and ex claimed: “ ‘Hello, George, my dear fellow, bow are you?’ ‘‘He turned so suddenly that he up set his plate. He was wild with rage. “ ‘Why, I don’t know you. sir. How dare you take such liberties with me?’ he stuttered. “I apologized, saying that I had mis taken him for some one else, but he could not be mollified. As I withdrew he glared scornfully after me, all red and tremulous with anger. ‘‘Crane and I were playing together at the time, and in a little while Crane, with whom I had an appoint inent to dine, arrived. I pointed out the pompous old chap to him. “ ‘Wouldn’t it be funny,’ I said, ‘to shatter that old fellow’s dignity by slapping him on the back and saying, "Hello, George. Why, it must be years since I’ve seen you?” ’ “Crane looked at him, and gave a loud laugh. *13y jove, I’ll do it,’ he said. “ ’Oh, no, don’t,’ said I. ‘He might make a scene.' “But when Crane gets an idea in his head nothing can drive it out. He now walked up behind the old man, slapped him heartily between the shoulders and cried: “ ‘Hello, George, my dear fellow What a long time it has been since I’ve seen you.’ “I saw the old man, purple with rage, jump up from his seat hastily, and I withdrew. For I perceived that a scene or something worse was im minent, and I have always been an enemy to scenes.” Her Birdlike Voice. She was a proud young mother, and she was telling the crusty old bachelor how talented her little girl was, while that angel child ate sticky candy and pawed the bachelor’s Im maculate shirt-front and plied him with questions In a phonograph voice. “She sings beautifully,” said the mother. "Why, song flows as natur ally from her as from a birdy.” "From a parrot, I suppose,” growled the brute. When after acquiring sudden wealth a man ceases to recognize his friends they escape the tiresome stories of his e’lrly struggles. Breaks the Bottle. Roar Admiral Francis R. Bowles, I chief constructor of the navy and somewhat of an authority on launch ing, is the inventor of an apparatus whereby the fair christener has only to let go of the bottle as the ship moves and watch it swing unerringly to the bow. Passing of Cattle King9. The cattle king of the Western plains Is passing away forever. A few years ago there were nearly KM millionaires, exclusive cattlemen In the southwest, now thare are but thirty. Too Much Talk of Birth. When the Society of the Cincinnati was formed there was the most ▼ebement opposition to the principles of founding here an hereditary order. There Is less danger to-day of an aris tocracy of birth winning any real as cendency in this land than there was when the nation was just breaking I away from the English tradition. But } there is to day in somo quarters an unmistakable development of snob bery which lays an absurd empnasts on the circumstance of birth. A line of worthy ancestors is an excellent thing—it any ancient virtues have been transmitted to the children. An honored name is an enviable posses sion—when its living owner bears himself worthily. Membership in an hereditary patriotic order is possibly an advantage—so long as it inspires the member to serve his country to day In causes no less holy, though maybe less heroic, than those which his order commemorates. Other ad vantages than these birth does not confer.—Philadelphia Ledger. Long Hours In the Country Store. It is ail right for the country store to keep late hours. It is the country club. If the boss likes it nobody else has a right to complain. In the coun try store the man does his own work. Even if trade is good he is not both ered with clerks’ unions. A country store is out for business and if it is necessary to open early aud close late the thrifty man will be on hand to welcome customers as they may arrive. Along In the middle of the lay the country merchant can work In the garden, while his wife sits jown In the store with her sewing, '.t Is a family affair.—Sioux City Jour nal. University Students in Various Lands. The proportion of university stu dents is going tip in Hollund and the United States at a rate of 5 per cent per annum; in Germany and Belgium by 6 per cent; in Switzerland by more than 7 per cent, while in France, Italy, Austria and Russia the annual in crease does not fall behind these fig ures, but in Groat Britain, taking sev eral years together, there has been a falling off. King Edward a Linguist. One of the advantages King Edward has had in dealing with foreign states ment and monareha ia his very tine gilts as a linguist. Three languages are perfectly familiar to him—hia own. of course, and French and German, which to him nre almost mother tongues. It used to be said of the late Queen Victoria that it was hard to say whether she thought more easily in German or English. The same could be said of the king; he speaks German like a German, just like as he speaks French like a Frenchman. A Queen’s Jewish Drama. A Vienna letter Bays that the up holders of the anti-Semitic policy of certain Austrians are greatly displeaf* ed with the latest literary production of Carmen Sylvia, Queen of Romna nia. The work is a drama vividly portraying the sorrows of a Jewess deserted by her own people and per secuted by all the world. The play is described as “tremendously dra matic” and would command attention aside from the interest sure to attach to any production of the royal author ess. Over His Patient’s Head. When the doctor, who forgot what kind of medicine his patient was tak ing asked, "Was it a fluid medicament I prescribed for you the la<<t time?” the puz/led German patient an swered: "I don'd know vot id vos. You said I shud take fife drobs dree dimes a day in vater.” Sensible Housekeepers will have Defiance Starch, not alone because they get one-third more for the same money, but also because of superior quality.
