Council luffs BETZVUIE TAEES Aunt Rhinocolura and the Leg By Ellis Parker Btrticr. I Avdhor dTPios isPlds" Etci ILLUSTRATED By PETER NEWELL Last August A,unt Rhinocolura Betz met with a serious mishap. She was going along Main street, which is one of Betzville's leading thoroughfares, when Sim Dwiggs' yellow hound dog went insane with the heat and dashed into Aunt Rhinocolura and bit her on the leg. By the greatest good luck the dog bit her on the wooden leg in stead of on the other, or Betzville might soon have had one of the swell est funerals in its history. As it was, Aunt Rhinocolura hurried home and cauterized the wooden leg, and hoped for the best, but the dog died and its head was sent to the city, and the re port came back that the dog had had the rabies, and that the only way to save Aunt Rhinocolura's life was for her to come to the city and take the Pasteur treatment. Unfortunately this would have interrupted the garden so cial that was to be given at Aunt Rhinocolura's house, but it came out right enough, for Uncle Ashdod Clute when consulted, said that as the wooden leg was not integrally a part of Aunt Rhinocolura it would not be necessary for all of Aunt Rhinocolura to go to the city to take treatment. He said it would only be necessary to send the wooden leg. So Aunt Rhi nocolura did that. As soon as the leg was an its way Aunt Rhinocolura called in Bildad Gubb. who is our leading carpenter and cabinet maker, and gave him an the wooden leg. and she couldn't walk six feet without tripping, and the left side of her skirt would bell out as if blown by a breeze, when it was only crowded out by the sprouts of the wooden leg. Aunt Rhinocolura said she wouldn't have minded if the leg had not been so much work. She said it was pleas ant to waken in the morning and see the fresh green leaves at her bed side, but that when a leg got so that it had to be pruned every half hour it had certain inconveniences. It worried her so much that it brought on another attack of neuralgia that kept her in bed a week, and the sight of the fresh green leg annoyed her so much that she had Sally set it out on the second-floor porch. When Aunt Rhinocolura recovered and went hop ping but onto the porch to get her leg she hardly recognized it, it had flour ished so. It had burst into bloom, as we might say, and in the tender twigs a pair of wrens had built a nest and had set up housekeeping. Aunt Rhinocolura is one of the kindest-hearted ladies in Betzville, and she would never in the world have thought of tearing down that nest and destroying the little eggs, but she couldn't think of any good way in which she could wear the leg without disturbing the wrens. It would sound all right in a work of fiction to say she put the leg on and that the wren j o0 pHHHI - raEsssssssssflssssssssssBHsBBBi iB .

If this timelyLlwarning is ignored kidney disease silently fastens its deadly grip for kidney sickness first shows itself m pains and disorders in other parts, and the real cause is too often hidden until fatal Brighr's disease or diabetes has set in. Suspect the kidneys if you are rheumatic and nervous or have lame fcack, painful, too frequent or scanty urination, weak heart, dizzy spells, headaches, bloating or neuralgia. What you want is a special kidney medicine not an experiment, but one that has stood the test for years.. Doan's Kidney Pills relieve weak, congested kidneys cure backache regulate the urine. A KIDNEY REMEDY OF 75 YEARS' EXPERIENCE DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS began curing lame backs and sick kidneys 75 years ago. The demand lead a nearby druggist, James Doan, to prepare it for sale. From him the magic formula passed to the pres ent proprietors. Now, as in those early days, Doaris Kidney Pills are made from only the purest drugs and are absolutely non-poisonous. The7 are used and praised all over the civilized world.

Sixth street. Topeka, Kansas, says: "In the spring of 1899 Doan's Kidney Pills brought me such great relief that I did not hesitate to make the fact known and give this remedy my nicst earnest endorsement. In my statement I said that for three years I had suffered from kidney complaint. I had a dull grumbling ache across the small of my back that greatly inconvenienced me when reaching and straining in doing my work. An annoying kidney weakness was also in evidence and it was out of the question for me to sleep well. In the morning I was all tired out and it can be seen that I was in bad shape. The use of Doan's Kidney Pills quickly and surely drove away these symptoms of kidney complaint and I have since been in good health. The foregoing statement was given in March 1905. and when Mr. Black was interviewed on Nov. 12, 1908. lie said: "I have never had a return attack of kidney complaint and I know that my cure is a permanent one. My faith in Doan's Kidney Pills is stronger than ever. Mrs. James Crooks, First St., N. '.. American Fork. Utah. sas, "I had kidney complaint for ten years or more. Sometimes a twinge darted through the small of my back and Iofteu became ohelpless that I was compelled to go to bed with my clothes on. The attacks often lasted for days at a time and I could not even stoop to put on mv shot's. My condition was certainly alarming. 'J in secre tions from my kidneys were irregular in r-a&agc and contained a heavy sediment after standing. I well know what the misery kidney complaint causes and I cantherefoie appreciate the merits cf a remedy that cuies this disease Dean's Kidney Pills live'd up to the claims made for them in my case and effected a cure. My kidneys were restored to a normal condition and my health greatly improved." (Statement fjiven Aug. 22.1907 ) On Aug. 24. 1909. Mrs. Crooks was interviewed by one of our representatives and she said "It gives me pleasure to reendorse Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured my backache and my health is now good. Other members of my family have taken this remedy with decided benefit." fe- Iiil"K IftrtePalrtLs V Its Your Ki A TRIAL FREE My pmsYwrsdr Cut out this coupon, mail it to Foster-Mi lburn Co.. Buffalo.

She explained that she wanted one about size eight, and then she said she would like it ever-so-inuch if he could make her a summer weight leg this time. She said the hickory one she had had was a good strong limb, but almost too heavy for summer use, and asked him if he could not make a lighter one not too light, just about medium weight, something she could wear comfortably until time to put on win ter legs. Bildad thought it over and then said he thought he had a piece of wood in bis shop that would be the very thing, and that it would make a neat and serviceable leg some thing stylish and light, but still guar anteed to wear well. He said it was a piece of willow that he was saving to turn potato mashers out of on his lathe, but that he was willing to sac rifice that aspiration and make a leg of it. So he did. When he delivered the leg. Aunt Rhinocolura retired into her own room and tried it on, and she was very much delighted with it. There were a few alterations necessary, but not many. It was a little too long In the waist, if we may use the term, and made her poke up into the air on the left side, but Bildad easily reme died that, and then Aunt Rhinocolura said It was the most comfortable leg she had ever worn. That was a very damp summer, and a very busy one for Aunt Rhinocolura. ahe was on her feet in the yard or the street nearly every minute of the day, and she never thought of wear ing a rubber shoe on her willow leg. In fact, she hardly gave her willow leg a thought until one night when she was retiring and happened to look at the leg. and then she saw it was breaking out in buds. By morning it had sprouted so much that she had to trim it off with her nail scissors. Every morning after that she had to manicure her wooden leg before she could put it on, and one week when she stayed in bed for three days with the neuralgia, the leg got such a start on her that she had to have Sail-, her maid, take it down cellar and trim it up with the hatchet. After that the willow leg seemed to have really started to grow, and often when Aunt Rhinocolura went out for the day she would have to be hauled home, for her real foot would get ..11 tangled up in the sprouts of continued to hatch her eggs while Aunt Rhinocolura went to the sewing society or trod the light fantastic toe at Philemon Jones' barn dance, but the fact is that even a summer weight woodenv. leg goes thumpty thump, and that is no good for eggs that are hatching. A wren may love its little home in a willow tree, but it cannot be happy if the tree goes bumping about the country. So Aunt Rhinocolura hopped back into the house and sent for Bildad Cubb, and ordered a new, light-weight, non-sproutable leg. Then she had the willow leg carefully removed to the back yard and planted there, and it is growing finely, and is one of the most interesting sights in Betzville. (CopyriRht. 1909, by W. G. Chapman.) Naive Confession of Little Girl Proved Her to Be True Daughter of Eve. Loie Fuller, the noted dancer, told at a luncheon a story about her class of dancing children. "I gave the children a Christmas party last year," she said, "and when the pudding came on I said to them: " 'I have put in this pudding a coin, a little china doll and a button.. Who ever gets the coin will be rich. Whoever gets the doll will be married before the year is out But whoever gets the button will be an old maid.' "Well, the pudding disappeared rap idly, and the little girls soon found the coin and the china doll. But the button did not turn up. No one got the button. This amazed me. "That night I said to my favorite little girl, as we sat alone by the fire in my room: "I can't understand what became of that button. I put it in the pudding myself.' "Til tell you,' the little girl con fessed, turning rosy with confusion. 'I dot the button. But I didn't want everybody to laugh at me tho I thwallowed it.'" FARE, NOT FAIR. aB?

A S900-pcr-annum clerk in one of Uncle Sam's departments at Washing ton was recently approached by a co worker, who asked if it were true, as rumor had it, that the $900 person was about to marry. "It is," was the laconic response. "Surely, old man," said the other, with that freedom permitted an inti mate friend, "you don't think that your present income would justify you in taking a wife?" "To be perfectly frank," said the other, "I do not." "Then what on earth can be your reason for taking this serious step?" "I have no reason," was the calm re sponse. "I am in love."

"I beg your pardon," said the Yale man, who is a bit of a wag. to the stranger, "can you tell me where 1 can find Harvard university?" "I'm very sorry," said the serious one, with never a smile.
