A A Boyce a farmer living three
and a half 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
Doans 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 Fosters
drug store T followed the directions
carefully when taking them and I must
say 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 tho 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
I dont know replied Mr Farrell
with deliberation but I have strong
convictions as to what should become
of some of them
It was evident Mr Farrells 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 thats 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 are sold for what
they will bring There is many a
horse that once raced home winner
in a classic event to tne shouts of
thousands who now pulls a hack or a
peddlers cart
Joe Cotton once a grand handi
Poor weather for skunking re- 1
marked one of the regular patrons
of the stove corner of the store as
he took his 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 but the wit
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 Its a
good thing for the skunks but its 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
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
Whats that got to do with
skunks queried one of the group
A very pompous old fellow at
tracted my attention one evening in
a restaurant the late Stuart Robson
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 me 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
How are you
He turned so suddenly that he up
set his plate He was wild with
rage
Why I dont 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
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 bachelors 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 biwly From
a parrot I suppose growled the
brute

a man ceases to recognize his friends

Salvator Hanover Hamburg and
others are more fortunate as they

But the number of stallions is
being steadily restricted with the re
sult of a very large increase in the
percentage of geldings on tho track
The object is to do away with the
large number of cheap and useless
stallions 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 oi
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
not miss their 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 fit 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 better stand
the vicissitudes of campaigning

HOW UNPOPULAR LAW GOT
ON TIE STATVTE BOO
Im coming to that if you wont
hurry me continued the oracle Do
any of you people know Rev Deni
son Well Ill describe him for you
Hes one of those big open hearted
whole souled jolly liberal fellows
that can be found adorning the minis
try in every community and he has e
dry fund of humor that among his
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 be 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
Its 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
enable them to chase the animals
down Theres no mistake about it
You can just wager though that the
Rev Denison isnt saying much

Crane with whom I had an appoint

the pompous old chap to him
Wouldnt it be funny I said to
shatter that old fellows dignity by
slapping him on the back and saying
Hello George Why it must be
years since Ive seen you
Crane looked at him and gave a
loud laugh By jove Ill do it he
said
Oh no dont 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 Georce my dear fellow
What a long time it has been since
Ive seen you
I saw the old man purple with
rage jump up from his seat hastily I
and I withdrew For I perceived that j
a scene or something worse was im

Too Much Talk of Birth
When the Society of tho Cincinnati
was formed there was the most
vehement opposition to tho principles
of founding here an hereditary order
There ds 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
away from the Engush tradition But
there is to day in some quarters an
unmistakable development of snob
bery which lays an absurd empnasis
on the circumstance of birth A lino
of worthy ancestors is an excellent
thing if any ancient virtues have
been transmitted to the children An
honored name Is an enviable posses
sion when its living owner bear3
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
