Tells His Friends and Neighbors Ofr
His Experience
Every Douglas resident should read
what a neighbor says. His testimony
j can be relied upon. Here are his own
I words:
M. D. Stevens, chief of police, 627
I Ethel Street, Douglas says: “I had a
dull constant pain across my loins and
j it was so bad at times that I could
I hardly work. I felt dull and languid
and the kidney secretions were too
frequent and painful in passage. I al
so had dizzy spells and headaches. I
took doctors' medicine and all kinds
of kidney remedies, but nothing help
ed me much. Hearing about Doan’s
Kidney Pills, I began using them and
two boxes cured me. I haven’t had any
trouble since, and I am only too glad
to recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills to
other kidney sufferers.”

Mrs. William 11. Hinchliffe, 20 Myrtle St., Beverly, Mass.,

KNEW WHERE “HE WAS AT”
Possum, However, Was Unable to Tell
of His Whereabouts, to Employer
Over the Phone.
When the late Robert Aull was park
commissioner there was a negro boy
called Possum who helped around the
boathouse in Forest Park lake. Pos
sum was a mighty hunter and fisher
man, and those qualities appealed to
Colonel Aull. Sometimes Colonel Aull
and Possum took lanterns at night and
caught a mess of frogs in Forest Park.
Possum had a falsetto voice and a
vast ignorance of how to use the tele
phone. He had located several fat,
fine frogs that he thought Colonel Aull
might like to gig and he called him up
at the city hall.
The commissioner’s stenographer
answered the telephone and after hear
ing Possum’s shrill tenor demanding
an interview with “Mistah Aull,” she
said: “There’s a lady on the phone
who wants to speak to you personal
ly.”
Colonel Aull went to the telephone
and said: “Well, this is Mr. Aull;
what is it, madame?”
The reply came: “Thith ith Poth
um! I want to talk to Mithta Aull.”
“This is Mr. Aull. Who are you?”
“Thith ith Pothum. Don’t you know
Pothum? Pothum, the nigger out at
Foreth Park. I want you to come
and meet me, and we’ll get thome
frawgth.”
“O, all right, Possum. Where are
you ?”
“Thuh?”
“Where arc you?”
"I don’t know what you thaid. Thith
ith Pothum. I want you to come right
out and meet me.”
“All right, I’ll come, but where are
you?”
“I don’t know what you thaid.”
Then the park commissioner, rais
ing his voice, resorted to the lan
guage of the plain people: “Where
are you at?”
“O,” responded Possum, with a sigh
of relief. “Heah I ith.” —St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
JAVA IN HELPLESS STATE
People of Tropical Garden of the
World Are Without Ambition
to Advance.
The garden par excellence of the
tropic world is Java, yet intellectually
it is but a cemetery of withered hopes
and ambitions wrecked in mockery, for J
over all there broods the dull fatalism
of despair—the “sufficient unto the
day” of the conquered follower of Ma
hommed. Ambition, if it exists in the
Java of today, seems powerless to
raise its people above the condition of
the Asiatic peasant, Dr. Alfred G.
Mayor writes in the Scientific Month
ly. There is no well-to-do class of na
tive artisans, and one may travel
throughout the land and find hardly a
native shop upon whose wares the Eu
ropean may bestow a glance of admi- j
ration, save only for the vanishing art i
of batick cloth, and the still more j
moribund manufacture of the Krees. j
Antlike over the whole land, in every j
view, there swarms the full-faced, do
cile coolie of the soil. Measured by
standards of mortality, a source of
commercial weakness, and Java lias
not always “paid,” despite her con
querors’ efforts to secure as much
profit from her as their conscience
and the public spirit of their times
would permit. The water supply of
her countless mountain streams might
turn the wheels of many mill, but
Java still sends her produc abroad in
the form of raw materials, and the cul
tivation of cotton is not even at
tempted.
His Explanation.
The streets were crowded with idle
miners'and the city authorities, taking
advantage of the fact, had a good
amount of work done putting in sew
ers, paving streets, etc.
Mulligan, who was not above earn
ing a little extra money whenever pos
sible, had taken over a job at digging
ditches.
One morning his friend chanced to
pass him as he was laboring shoveling
earth.
‘Hallo, Mulligan! What are yez
doin’ there?' 1
The workman leaned on his spade
and made a long pause before an
swering:
"Oh, Oi thought Oi would work Just
whoile Oi was oidle, boy.”
Not Creatures of the Sea.
The National museum at Washing
ton, contains a notable display of
the bones of several species of extinct
mammals which, if seen alive in the
ocean, would be called huge sea ser
pents. They were carnivorous and
their long, slender Jaws were armed
with* formidable teeth. Although a
few remaining individuals of the group
may have given actual basis for the
sea-serpent stories, these extinct ani
mals were not reptiles, but mammals
which, like the whale and seal and ot
ter, had happened to evolve in an
aquatic environment.
Not Such a Fool.
‘‘Here’s a strange case,” said Mrs.
Spotter to her husband. “A man
they called the town fool up in New
Hampshire died, and they weighed his
brain. It was heavier than the aver
age.”
“Is that all ft says about him?”
“Yes —except that he was for many
years entirely dependent on well-to
do relatives.”
“Huh —he was no fool. If you have
well-to-do relatives, why use your
brains?"
PRETTY GIRLS AND OTHERS
After All, the One Who Is “Nice” la
Apt to Be the Most Popular
With Everybody.
We all know the old joke of the
pretty girl who is presented as saying
to the homely girl, “It’s too bad not to
be good-looking, isn’t it?” and the
homely girl's, response: “Yes, because
one has to be nice, and that’s hard;
did you every try it?”
Of course we enjoy the reply, espe
cially as we know how much greater
the impression that is made by being
nice, the Milwaukee Journal observes.
The pretty girl who doesn’t think this
necessary is away behind the homely
girl who has really learned to be what
we describe so satisfactorily and in
definitely by the word “nice.”
But do we ever think of this as ono
of the definite accomplishments of life
that can be acquired, not so easily per
haps as a knowledge of algebra or his
tory, but Just as surely? Every day
we meet someone, often several per
sons, whose lives exemplify the beauty
of being nice. Very soon we learn
to know them and we are ready almost
without thinking to go a little out of
the way to see that we do meet them.
They are not all homely girls; some
of them are pretty, and many of them
aren’t girls at all. Most of them al
ways seem to be “nice” by nature.
But anyone with an atom of justice in
his reasoning knows that at some time
and probably often, there has come
to these persons who make life bright
er the question, “Does it pay?” Maybef
they never really proved that it did
That doesn't matter so much, for
they have kept on with the cheery
look, the pleasant greeting, the friend
liness and graciousness that are the
world’s greatest Joy bringers. And
that is enough to make them far better
remembered and far more beloved
than if they had been named the reign
ing beauties of their day.
LAZIEST OF ALL THE BIRDS
Feathered “Weary Willie” Sleeps All
Day and Absolutely Refuses to
Go After Food.
Laziest of birds is the frogmouth.
He sleeps all day, and instead of flying
about in search of food he sits still on
a limb and literally waits for the in
sects to come and feed him. He’s
such a sound sleeper that you can
knock him off his perch with a club
and he’ll not wake up. He inhabits
the islands of the Indian ocean and
Australia.
He's about the size of the whippoor
will and gets his name from his wide
mouth, which also serves as his insect
trap. Too lazy to fly for his food, like
other birds, he crawls along the limb
of a tree, opening his wide mouth and
snapping it shut, catching what flies
and gnats come within his range.
At night lie’s found perched with
his mate on the roofs of houses, on
fences or stumps. Only after the sun
goes down does he show any inclina
tion to move about. All day he sits,
feet glued to the limb of a gum tree,
indifferent to rain, tropical sun or the
call of the woods.
One species of frogmouth has tufts
of hair rising from the top of his head
like ears.
Birds Cannot Understand Glass.
It has been frequently noticed that
no wild bird can understand the prop
erties of glass, and great numbers,
ranging in size from a pheasant to a
titmouse, are killed by flying against
the windows of country houses.
If a room possesses a large mirror
reflecting the view seen through ail
open window birds are particularly
ble to be deceived, and especially if
frightened into thinking that they can
fly through it.
Sparrow hawks will sometimes
chase their intended victims into
strange places. Some years ago
a member of this species pursued a
small bird through the open window
of a railway carriage in motion. In
its blind determination to secure the
panting fugitive it entangled its claws
in the meshes of the hat rack and was
ignominlously slain by an astonished
passenger with an umbrella.

Before and After. ~
The members of the club were tell
ing yarns when a quiet man in the
corner was asked to contribute.
“Well,” said he, “I once entered a
restaurant where they weigh you be
fore eating and then after eating, and
then charge you by weight. I
got a good feed and was charged
five shillings. The next time I went
I took in my pocket bricks, weights,
old iron and such like. I was weighed
and then went upstairs and had a ban
quet three times as big as the last.
After getting rid of the ballast I went
down and was weighed again, but they
couldn’t make it out.”
He paused.
“Couldn't make what out?” asked
the club members.
“Why,” answered the quiet man,
“they owed me four-and-tuppence.”—
London Tit-Bits.
Poor Hubby.
The young bride was doing the fam
ily marketing for the first time. She
stopped at the fish stall and looked
over the array of sek food.
“All perfectly fresh, mam'am,” said
the dealer, ingratiatingly.
“Oh, dear,” exclaimed the bride.
“That's what everybody says. I wish
I could find some stale fish. You see,
my husband has indigestion, and the
doctor won't even let him eat fresh
bread. I’m sure fresh fish would be
even worse for him ”
