IMPROVED SCHOOL YARDS
All Over Country Is Seen Evidences
of Great Awakenings.
Here is a fine idea from West
Virginia.
The Agricultural Experiment
Station has entered on a practical
campaign.for the improvement of
rural school grounds throughout
the state. As a starter, one school
yard in each county is to be beauti
tied by a landscape gardener.
There will be trees, shrubbery and
flowers, and a thorough effort to
make real beauty spots of plots
that are now unsightly.
There isn’t a more dismal ap
pearing spot on earth than the aver
age country school yard. Genera
ally it is a sizable lot, grown up
to weeds and littered with lunch
remnants, old newspapers and
other debris. In the center is a
weather-beaten building, ugly in
side and out. Its bare walls and
smoky ceilings would be an incen
tive to suicide, if it were not for
the natural jubilancy of childish
spirits.
A little money, properly used,
would put the home-like touch on
the interior, and make the grounds
a great garden.
And it is a fact that the children^
even in the most boisterous of
country schools, can be interested
in the useful life that lies outside
of their books. They will grow
flowers, if they have a chance and
an example to follow. They will
absorb a love for beautiful, if they
have the opportunity, and it is a
thing that will make better men
and women.
Perhaps there was a time when
a few parents would have sneered
at these school beautifying plans,
asserting that fords were only an
other name for foolishness. But
most of that folly has been educat
ed out of humanity, in the city as
well as the country, and in future
education is to be made, as far as
possible, a pleasure, and, as little
as may be, a task.
The West Virginia experiment
is commendable and worth watch
ing.—Cincinnati Post.
HIGHLY ENDORSED.
Act. Walker Lewis, tke well-know*
Methodist minister, write*: “I have
naed Dr. Mozley’s Lemon Elixir in my
family witk >ery beneficial results. It is
en admirable medicine and excellent as
a tonic and liver regulator."
Simkins—“What is he going to
try ?”
Timkins— “Matrimony. He’s
en ff a R e( l to the snake charmer at
the dime museum.”
’Squire Squashbuckle (at St
Louis Fair)—“Wall, by cracky
I v® been all through the durned
fair an’ asked every one I met, but
nobody seems to know where the
merry'go'-round is.”
A Little Nonsense.
It was a well dressed young
man, with a sad, far-away look in
his eyes, that stood on the steps as
the lady opened the door,
“Excuse me, madam,” he said,
as he lifted his hat, “but could you
direct me to the Home for the
Friendless ?”
“Do you mean to say that you
are seeking it as refuge?” she ask
ed in surprise.
“I am, madam,” he replied. “I
am a base ball umpire.”
Caller—“I’m taking up a collec
tion of $1. Just a little charit
able affair to help 'bury a police
man.”
Kickerty—“Ah! Here, take $10
and go bury ten of them.”
Simpkins—“I understand your
friend Jaggsby has been taking
the gold cure.”
Timkins—“Yes, but it proved a
failure in his case. He’s going to
try another remedy next week.”
KING OStAR’S PASS
Not Good on the Railways of the
Swiss.
Geneva, May 22—King Oscar
of Sweden and his suite have dis
covered that they cannot ride in
the Swiss Republic’s railways
“deadhead” like the President can
in the United States.
It is customary for the Contis
nental railways to carry kings
and their suites in private cars
free.
King Oscar left Aix les Bains
with a royal car and baggage car.
Here the railway otticial demanded
tickets. The king’s chamberlain
tried to explain and asked the
offioial to present a claim to the
consul.
The ffiocial declined and de
manded cash. The chamberlain
protested. The official displayed
a telegram from headquarters
reading:
“Charge Oscar twenty first-
class fares, transportation royal
cars.”
After an argument the king
and his suite offered to pay, but
found they hadn’t money enough.
Receiving a promise to pay, the
official let the train proceed.
At Lausanne the train was
held up and the royal cars cut off.
The king was informed that the
Switzerland Republic does not
allow sovereigns to ride free.
Finally money was borrowed
in the town, the royal cars were
recoupled and the train proceeded.

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Early Risers
Th« famous little pills*
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble ha3
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, It Is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon It. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
