Neb says I can heartily recommend
Doans Kidney Pills to all sufferers of
kidney complaint This remedy acted
strictly up to the representations in my
case and proved to be a kidney cure in
every sense of the word My work
obliges me to do a great deal of stooping
and lifting and also exposes me to in
clement weather These combined con
ditions probably caused my kidneys to
become disordered and backache was
the result Though I did not take
Doans Kidney Pills as regularly as I
should have done they nevertheless
benefited me greatly and I willingly give

One Conductor Who Was Cured
Mr Wilford Adams is his name and
he writes about it Some time ago I
was confined to my bed with chronic
rheum itism I used two bottles of
Foleys Kidney Remedy with good ef

feet and I resumed work as conductor
on the Lexington Ky Street Railway
It gave me more relief than any medi

The legislation of the thirteenth

abounds in bills concerning the unem

several laws were passed against
Idlers most of them such because
they could get nothing to do- In the
reign of Henry VIII the kingdom was
infested with rogues vagabonds
and idle persons and it is sMd that
during Henrys reign more than 70000
of this unfortunate class were hanged

David G Mont

is being written
about them In
telling of his early
life recently Mr
Stone said
As a kid I was
Montgomery in aiwayS doing
THE OLD TOWN gtunts on the sIack
wire and joined a circus when only
fifteen When I came out to do my
turn women would say it was a shan c
to have such a sweet child doing such
perilous work Then I would stick
my tongue out to prove that 1 was a
boy Ill never forget the day my
father came to see me He wore a
high hat and there was a big wind
storm He was standing directly un
der the wire when the wind blew one
of the sideshow banners against it
and knocked the balance pole out of
my hands That was ray first fall
but I escaped without injury The
balance pole crashed through my fa
thers silk hat and raised a lump on
his head the size of a cauliflower He
threatened to sue the owner of the
show and to pacify him they took
him in as a partner
How much money did he put up
Mr Stone was asked
About S1S0 You could have
bought the circus for 10 Later on
I joined a stock company continued

Although both of these actors saw
much hard luck in their early careers
today they are among the wealthiest

what a dollar bill looked like
Some years ago while Frederick R
Seaton was on an Indian reservation
in the west gather
ing material and
impressions for the
Indian parts for
which he is famous
throughout the
country he was
amused by an oc
currence which
took place between
one of the medicine
men of the tribe
and a tricky trader
for whom the In
dians had a great
dislike The medicine mans name was
Big Snake Chancing upon him one
day the trader said
Good day
How said Big Snake coldly
Say Big Snake said the trader
what was that medicine you gave
your pony That cayuse that I paid
so much for last spring has the same
distemper yours had
Big Snake told the trader the mag
ical remedy he had used
Three days later the trader again
met the Indian and the following con
versation took place
You know that medicine you told
me about Well I gave it to the pony
but he died
With just the slightest gleam in his
eye to bespeak the intense satisfaction
he felt Big Snake said
So did mine
Riccardo Martin the American tenor
whose work has attracted much at
tention recently Is not only a great
singer out a suc

one of his composi

sold this song to a

music as follows
When I had play

RICCARDO MARTIN
American wrote that song he asked
Yes said I I was born in Ken
tucky
Impossible Its as French as
Paris It has all the lilt and peculiar
rhythm of words and a conception of
real French wit and phrasing that no
American could ever acquire said
Hamelle
With the utmost difficulty did I con
vince him that I had written the song
and I had to take him my other com
positions before he was satisfied 1
think I am the only American who has
had a French song published in French
by a French music house
Building the
Cape Cod
Cnal
of the most interesting sur
gical operations since the world
began in which not even sto
vaine is used to ease the patient is
now being performed and mariners
everywhere are discussing it This Js
the amputation of the right arm of
Massachusetts close to the shoulder
which Is to make the long talked of
Cape Cod canal and actual work on
this immense project is now going for
ward at the rate of 330 cubic yards of
earth an hour For years and years
this waterway has appeared to he
only a dream but at last August Bel
mont the New York financier who a
promoting the plan ordered out the
scalpels and the task has now actual
ly begun to cut the eight mile strait
that is designed to transform the Cape
Cod region from the great maritime
graveyard of the world to a safe and
profitable route for freight and pas
senger traffic
From the earliest days the largu
number of vessels engaged in carry
ing cargoes under sail and steam from
the New England states to the Atlan
tic coastwise trade have been buffeted
by gales swept upon rock and reef
and many a stout ship has contributed
her all x the graveyard off the cape
Early dreamers and workers looked to
the uarrow neck that liblds the arm
like cape between Barnstable and
Buzzards bay as a means of salva
tion If that short neck of eight miles
could be cut permitting ships to go
through instead of around the treach
erous cape they foresaw safety and
profit
The list of vessels and lives lost off
the cape during the past twenty foui
years is au appalling one From Oct
1 lS7i to July 1 1893 there were
137 vessels lost 03 lives and property
with a value of 1015243 from July
1S95 to Jan 1 18D9 2S vessels 27

lives and property worth 207870
During the first period here given the
property lost each month was valued
at 0394 a vessel lost every fifty four
days and a life every four months in
the second period for which the figures
are available 0553 was lost each
month a vessel was wrecked and a
life was lost every forty five days
It is no wonder then that the canal
short cut has been talked about since
the days of Myles Standish The In
dians used to escape the angry seas
on the outer rim of the coast by portag
ing their canoes across the sands of
the cape and it was the path they fol
lowed that suggested the project of
the canal which the records of Plym
outh colony show the colonists used
to discuss with animation
Since then the matter has been taken
np scores of times and just as often
dropped and it was not until 1S99
that a charter granted to the Boston
Cape Cod and New York Canal com
pany brought Into the venture men of
Massachusetts and of New York who
made up their minds not to let the
venture die Mr Belmont took the
financial arrangements He formed a
company with G000000 of bonds and
an equal amount of stock and announc
ed that he intended to sit up with the
plan until he camethrough the canal
on the first trip
It now looks for the first time as ir
the Cape Cod canal was to be a real
ity and it is estimated that the mid
dle of 1912 will see its completion
The big excavator for the time is in
the center of the picture and the
dredge is in the background But the
two machines are joint partners in the
business of making the big ditch The
excavator cuts the land down to the
level of high water and then the
dredger will come into the play all
along the way which the excavator
has gone
The entire excavating machine
weighs 120 tons It requires a crew of
seven men to operate it an engineer
two firemen and an oiler a derrick
man a tender or track shifter and a
commanding officer or captain
Mr Belmont estimates that 25000
000 tons of freight will go through the
canal each year
