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.”

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.

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.

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

The proportion of university stu

Queen Victoria that it was hard to
say whether she thought more easily

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

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

aside from the interest sure to attach
to any production of the royal author
