I > iiHjiniou Dwell in Nests. , Several1 travelers who have return ed from the heart of Africa and tbe .Australasian continent tell wonderful fetorics of nest-building people who in habit the wilds of those countries. The bushmen of Australia are , per haps , the lowest order of men known. They are so primitive that they do not know enough to build even the sim plest form of hut for shelter. The nearest they can approach to it is to gather a lot of twigs and grass and , taking them into a thicket or jungle , build a nest for a home. The nest is usually built largo Gi'ough for tho family , and if the lat ter is very numerous then the nests are of largo sjze. Sometimes the foli age above will form a natural cover ing , but there is never any attempt at constructing a protection from storms. IT'S THE TERROR OF ALL WOMEN linclcnchc Quickly Cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills Ittrs.V. . II. Ambroac Tells How Her Paina Vanished Never lo ReturnYhcn She Uaed the Great American Kidney .Remedy. Dover.

( Special. ) So long has Backache boon tlie terror of the women of America that the nu merous reports of the complete and permanent cures of this ailment now I being made by Dodd's Kidney Pills are causing wide satisfaction and not the least remarkable of those cures is that of Mrs. W. II. Ambrose of this place. Mrs. Ambrose says : "I had such pains in my back at times 1 could hardly move and other symptoms showed that my kidneys were affected. One box of Dodd's Kid ney Pills drove away all the pains and I have never been troubled since. " LtaekaeJio is tho kidneys' first notice that they are out of order and need help. If they got that help in the form &f Dodd's Kidney Pills all will be well. .If they arc neglected the disease may develop into Diabetes. Bright's Dis ease or Rheumatism. YonstUsed l > y Ancients. The yon si employed by the ancients in making broad was probably of the same kind a.s the Israelites of the days of the groat Pharaoh the oppressor used , calling it "leaven. " This was whui is known nowadays as a wild yeast , its germs or spores being afloat everywhere In the air. A bit of dou h was preserved out of onoh batch prepared for the ovens , and when this was added to the next dough the yoa.st contained in it quick ly spread through tho whole , only a lit tle being required to "leaven the whole Jump. " But when tho people of Israel were wandering in the wilderness they did nol always have yeast handy , and so were obliged to eat unleavened bread. Tho best examples of old Roman broad have been found at Pompeii , a town that was destroyed by an erup tion of Ycsuvius in tlie year 79 A. D. Forty-eight loaves wero dug out of one bakcshop. These speoiments markedly B I resembled those found in the Egyptian tombs and were originally composed of ground barley. The ancient cliff dwellers of the Souihwest raised Indian corn and mnuo their bread of it. Once in a while a loaf of it is discovered in one of their deserted houses , and specula tion is naturally indulged as to the dogroe of its antiquity. Perhaps it is : ; ou or 500 years old.

Ark. , the vis itors have all sorts of complaints , but It is : i subject of remark that the great majority of them have some trouble with stomach and bowels. This may bo partly attributed to the heavy med icines. Naturally , tinder the conditions , the question of food is very prominent. A young man states that he had suf fered for nine years from stomach and bowel trouble , had two operations which did not cure , and was at last threatened with appendicitis. He went to Hot Springs for rheuma tism and bis stomach trouble got worse. One day at breakfast the wait er , knowing his condition , suggested ho try Grape-Nuts and cream , which he did , and found tho food agreed with Iiim perfectly. After the second day he began to sloop peacefully at night , different than he had for years. The perfect I ! digestion of the food quieted his ner- vous system and made sleep possible. Ho says : "The next morning I was astonished lo find uiy condition of con stipation had disappeared. 1 could not believe it true after suffering for so many years ; then 1 took more interest Jn the food , read the little book "Tho Road to Wollvilie , " and started follow ing the simple directions. "I have met with such results that "in the last five weeks I have pained oight pounds in spite of hot baths which take away the flesh from any one. one."A "A friend of mine has been entirely s ? cured of a bad case of indigestion and stomach trouble by using Grape Nuts I'ond and cream alone for breakfast. "There is one thing in particular I Iiave noticed a great change in my mental condition. Formerly I could Lardly remember anything , and now the mind seems unusually acute and retentive. I can memorize practically g I desire. " Name given by Co. . Battle Creek. Mich. I THE FADSNG LIGHT OF DAY. "Jenny , gather up the scraps , and Hetty , bring Ihc broom ; Sallj' , push the settle back and tidy up the room ; Now's the time , 'twixt day and dark , to clear the work away ; For the morn make ready by the fading light of day. "Come , my boys , bring in the wood and split the kindling nue , Fetch sonic water from the spring and feed the waiting kine ; You'll not need the lantern , lads , tho twilight's clear and gray , naste and you will finish by the fading light of day.

Scattered , scattered , far and wide , in distant lands , and dead ; Long the grass has waved above the gentle mother's head ; But at nightfall even yet I seem to hear her say , "For the morn make ready by the fading light of day.

T midnight "Big Jeff poked his head out from under Iho tarpau lin ami peered through the murk. For half a minute , perhaps , he listen ed tentatively ; then ho brushed away the snowflakes that had accumulated on his tousled hair , and snutrgled back Into the comfortable warmth of the blankets. He thrust a big fist , none too gently , against the ribs of his part ner. ner."What's "What's the matter wiih yuh ? " growled the "Freak , " sleepily. "I ain't no punchin' bag. " "We're goin' t' get them steers t' the post t'-morrow I don't tliiuk ! " Big Jeff murmured. "The angeis is plckin' geese for their Christmas din ner. From the way the feathers is flyin' there'll be about two feet of 'em in the nioruin' . " The Freak protruded his head , only to withdraw it hastily. "Hoi } ' smoker ! " ho muttered , "she's sure coinin' thick. Wonder if them cattle's all right. " "Yes ; I heard 'em a-woofnf an' tramplin' round in the corral a min ute ago , " Jeff assured him. "You bet ter go t' sleep , in' son ; no use layin' awake worryin' . " This seemed to the Freak the prjp-r course to pursue. Hi ; wriggled into a comfortable posture , and soo i rho mi nor Ley of his snore mingled with tlie deep bass Big Jeff emitted. In the old rouud-up corral , beside which their bed was made , a bunch of steers stood huddled together with tails to the storm , great masses of snow piling on their broad backs ; out- Bide , tied securely to a post , two po nies alternately pawed the ground and shivered under the oiled slickers that were spread across their loins. Save for the canvas bed-cover that sheltered the two men , there was little comfort for beast or human that night ; noth ing but biting wind , that whistled keenly through the rails of the corral , 'ind everywhere the silent. virgin enow , dropping swiftly earthward in buge , eddying Hakes. It Avas gray dawn when Big Jeff awoke again. He raised a corner of the tarpaulin , and a mass of snow fell ou his face. The spluttering of him aroused the Freak. Profanely la menting die necessity that drove them forth on such a trip , they groped about for their boots , drew them on , and emerged , in ugly temper , for there wore two feet of snow on top of the bed. bed.To To the top rail of the corral the Freak climbed and glanced quickly over the cattle to the illimitable reach es beyond. Inside tho corral , the cat tle still stood hump-backed ; outside , the horses still shivered tinder the pro tecting slickers ; but the wind had died to a faint breath , and the sun glared unwinklugly at them as it balanced on the lower edge of a cloud-free sky. It was a perfect morning , save for the diamond frost that glinted in the rare fied air , and the ugly menace of the silent , white pall of snow' that lay , belly-deep to a long-horn , on every foot of the land. "See the horses ? " queried Jeff , lookiug up from bis task of kicking a ay the snow that covered their cof fee pot and frying pan. "Naw ! " the Frea-k snorted , disgust edly. "There's nothin' t' be seen but this everlastin' snow. The chances are them nags is liittiu' the high places for tho Circle Four about this time. Hobbles wouldn't stop 'cm after they got started , an' a storm like this would start most anything that wasn't tied hard an' fast" "This here's sure hard luck , " Jeff mourned , as he fanned an incipient blaze with his hat. "We're out of grub if we don't hit the post to-night an' ive won't git there before the next chinook if we dou't have them horses t' break trail. An' we promised t' eat Christmas dinner with Bob Stew art an' the girls , yuh know , Freak. " "I know it , " he answered , shortly. They brooded silently over their cof fee and fried bacon , sitting uneasily on their boot-heels. Fifteen miles of uubroken snow lay between them and the agency ; a day's drive when the go ing was good now , five miles of wal lowing through the drifts would leave their cattle exhausted. A siHlden freshening of the wind meant a bliz zard and the White Death plnj's a winning game on the open prairie when there is neither food , nor fire , nor p.-- : "We better go back a piece eh , Jeff ? " advised the Freak , as they un tied their horses. "There's a little coulee , yuh remember , back about four miles. Maybe them cnyuses lo cated in that. There's little cut-banks along it. " "Sure. " tho big man answered , hope fully. "Wo got t' have 'em t' break a road for these critters. Maybe we'll run onto a bunch o' broom-tails though I guess the Injuns keep 'em pretty well chased out o' here. " They turned the cattle out of the corral to browse around as best they could ; there was little danger of their straying far. Not voluntarily would they trample their way through the encompassing snow. On top of a little eminence , half a mile from the coulee of which the Freak had spoken , they halted. Back at the corral they could see the bunch of cattle a 'black ' blot on the dazzling white page of the prairie ; before them spread away a vast expanse of mo notonous level ; for many miles the brown breast of the earth was clothed in the glittering robes of winter. "Ugh ! " Big Jeff shivered. "Not a blasted horse in sight ! I guess we better go back an' try to shove them cattle through the best we can. " For answer , the Freak pointed down the coulee which they overlooked. "Ain't that a smoke down there ? " he interrogated , anxiously. It was smoke , Big .leir averred. To ward it they headed their horses , plod ding patiently. As they came nearer , the almost invisible exhalation devel oped into a half-dozen well-defined blue spirals , floating straight up through the tranquil atmosphere. They eyed them with disfavor ; and , when rounding a bend of the coulee , they came upon a bunch of scrubby ponies , orange buckskins and gayly marked pintos predominating in number , the Freak pulled up in disgust. "A bunch of skulkiif Gros Yentres ! " he lamented. Lot o' good they'll do us. " "Maybe we could get 'm t' break trail for us , " Jeff hazarded , hopefully. "It's worth quite a bit to the outfit , yuh know , t' get them cattle through ; an' maybe some o' these buckos wouldn't mind makin' a few spondu licks. " "Won't do no hurt t' try , I reckon. " admitted the Freak , "but those bore Gros Yentres are lazier than a fat cow in July. I know 'em. " So they rode to the teepee that , by its size and ornamentation , they judged to be the abode of the chief. In many Indian dialects was the Freak versed , and so he was able to state their wants with dignity and much sonorous language. But the chief grunted disapproval. His ponies were weary , lie said , and the snow was deop. Also his young men were weary , and the smoke of the teepee fires was strong in their nostrils. Therefore the trail could not be broken for his white brothers , even though he offered much Hat silver. This the Freak communicated to Jeff ns they rode away. Around the bond , past the Indian ponies. Jeff pull ed up his horse. He curled one chap- encased leg around the saddle-horn , and eyed the Freak. "How many ponies they got tied up in camp ? " he asked , suddenly. "Did yuh notice , m' son " "Two was all I seou. Why ? " "An * if them two was loose , they'd be afoot , wouldn't they ? Big Jeff went ou. ignoring the question. "Why , yes , I guoss they would. But \vhat if they was ? " "I'll toll yuh. " . .left'swum : ids horse closer to tho Freak , and lowered his voice though there was none within throe hundred yards to bear. At in tervals , tho Freak nodded bis head and ejaculated "Sure ! " with much em phasis. Thou Big Jeff resumed his normal position iu the saddle , and they turned back to Hie Gros Yontro camp. "The white brother of thchief of the Gros Yontres. " tho Fre.ik orated , "have little grub wherewith to face the deep snows , and their stomachs would be as the stomach of tho gray Avolf ere they roach the wooden tee- poos of the White Father at Snake Butlc. Can tho groat chief spare a few pounds of flour and a lee : of doer meat ? His white brothers will give many pSe-oes of lint silver. " Ys , the great chief could for flat silver. The transfer accomplished , the Freak reached the bundle up to Jeff , who sat on his horse , a silent specta tor. As Jeff loaned to take it from him. his horse snorted and lashed out wickedly behind. A dun cayuse , meek of mien and small of stature , stood di rectly in his rear , tied to the wheel of a lied River cart ; against his ribs the hoofs of Jeff's horse whacked loudly. Startled by the unexpected onslaught , the pony jerked violently against the tie-rope. It parted , and he scurried for the bunch like a frightened rabbit , Jeff giving chase. "Let not the chief be alarmed. " the Freak shouted. "His pony Shall be brought back to his teepee. " He mounted hastily , did the Fre.ik , not forgetting to keep tight hold ol' the sack. Calling assurances to the chief and to the bucks , who were swarming out of the lodges , be started after Jeff. But his horse was taken with a sudden madness , and bucked high and crookedly. At the next tee pee a pinto was tied to an ancient sleigh. Between the sleigh and the pony's head the Freak's horse plunged , rearing , kicking , leaping high. Presently the pinto also scurried up the coulee , with the Freak in hot pur suit ; and save for their own indolent legs , the Gros Yentres were without means of locomotion. "Crowd 'em , old boy ! " the Freak yelled , as he turned the bend. "Next thing on the program is angry Injuns burnin' powder ! " "Say , " lie cried , breathlessly , to Jeff as he reached the bunch , "yuh oirght to seen old 'Hock' do the Wild West act. He sure did things to that pinto when I throwed the hooks into him. " They fell upon the ponies with swishing ropes and tempestuous pro fanity. Through the drifts that bar red their way they urged the herd to a floundering gallop. Enveloped in a cloud of snow-dust kicked up by the flying heels , they swept up out of the coulee , and almost gained the knoll from which they had spied the camp , ere the first bullet whiuged futilely after them. Big Jeff waved a gloved hand , and his deep laugh went bellowing across the white waste. "Look at 'em. Freak ! " ho chortled. "The whole tribe is after us. Them dark-complected boys wouM sure do business with us if they was close enough. " "You bet ! " the Freak responded. "And them brunette ladies would sure love to wind their fingers in our hair. " "Say , " the Freak observed , as they topped the little ridge , "some o' them bucks is pretty good runners , I no tice. Now I don't hanker t' have 'em catch up with us after we start with them cattle. I tell yuh , Jeff , you pike for the corral an' get the bed on one o' these cayusos. I'll stay on this pinna cle here an' snap a few caps at 'em. That'll hold 'em till you get ready t' start an' then I'll come a-rumiin' . " "I hate t' leave yuh. Freak , " Jeff grumbled , "but I guess it's a good scheme. " "Don't yuh stay too long. " he warn ed over his shoulder , as ho crowded forward on the heels of the herd. A score of young bucks were trot ting swiftly along in the beaten track of the horses. At intervals a rifle would pop , like the breaking of a frost ed willow , but the distance was too great for their suns to carry. Back on the bank of the coulee , the squaws and pappoosos were massed , mutely witnessing. The yelping clamor of tho mongrel , dogs came indistinctly to the ears of the Freak. lie drew his riflo from the scabbard and pumped a cartridge into the cham ber. Dropping on one knee in the powdery snow , he sent a steel-jacket ed missile humming sinisterly along the back trail. The pursuing Indians dropped on their faces with a celerity that made the Freak smile. It was a close shot very close , as he had meant it to be. It was nearly an hour before the Freak swung stiffly upon his horse and lopcu away. Like bloodhounds the In dians struck the trail again , tramping doggedly , mile after mile. But Big Jeff and the Freak had a five-mile start , and they held their own. The long-horns , gaunt and hungry , travel ed fast , stepping close up to the horses that , perforco , broke trail. "This here's a swell way o' spending Christmas Eve , " the Freak yelled across the backs of the plodding cattle to Jeff , who drove the horses ahead. "Never yuh mind. Freak there's good times comin' . Just cast your eye ahead. " Tie clicl , and tho sight gladdened him. For behind them the sun was down and the wind was rising ; but tlie brown mass of the agency upheaved its bulk before them. In half an hour they had .swung down Wild Horse , under the shadow of Snake Butto , and Big Jeff was howling lustily at the agent's door. A befurred receiving clerk counted the cattle into a corral and handed Big Jeff a receipt for their delivery. "Wo can make it i' old Bob's to morrow in time for dinner easy , " Big Jeff exulted , as he removed the bed from the back of the dun pony and threw it into a shed beside the corral. "I'm sure thankful. Freak , that we ain't out on the bald prairie t'-nicrht. " "Same here. " tho Freak responded. ! tersely. "But I reckon we better give these runty cnyuses a good shoot along j the back trail 1 guess them Injuns 'd j appreciate a ride back t' camp an' ! then go up an'square ourselves with the agent beforo we get pinched for horse stealin' .

In tho winter of 1902-0 Mr. Schroeppel r.s confined to his bed by a severe at tack of rheumatism - His doctor's treat ment proved unsuccessful , but he subso- qvently refined his health by means which'he describes with great enthu siasm. " \fteriive or six weeks of helpless ness and pain , " said he , " during which I was receiving regular visits from tho doctor , I felt as bad as ever. Just then my mother , a woman , eighty years of n e paid mo a visit. She had received great benefit from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills , and slip was confident they would help'me. At her solicitation I pnvo up tho doctor's treatment and took tho pills in its place. " "And were you cured as the result ot taking her ad vice ? " "Yes , quickly and thoroughly. Be fore the second box was finished I felfc verv manifest improvement , and within two weeks I was able to leave my bed and take up my neglected farm"work. . I con tinued to use the pills , however , until eight boxes had been takeu , although long before that I felt that every ves tige of the disease had been eradicated. "Are there 110 traces left ? " "Absolutely none. For a year and three months there has never been tho slightest return of the old trouble. For this happy result I and my family freely praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. " "Within the bounds of China township , St. Glair county , Mich. , thero is no bet ter known farmer than Mr. Henry Schrocppcl. His cure has therefore nat urally attracted a groat deal of attention. One of Mr. Schroeppel's neighbors , Cap tain George Balfour , after hearing of tho salutary results in Mr. Schroeppel's case , decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pilte for an attack of rheumatism from which lie was himself sutYerinpr. He took eight or ten boxes and now declares himself free from the painful ailment. " It is little wonder that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are much in favor in the com munity whore Mr. Sohrooppel and Cap tain Balfour are so woll and favorably known.
