Did you ever hear of ‘playing a child
i good’’ Here, says a writer in the New
; York Press, is an instance, related of
herself by Emmy Hendren, now Mrs.
Gwathmy : ‘As usual I was seated on
the top plank of the fence about the
parade ground, while with my feet I
mechanically beat an accompaniment
against the lower rail to the music
Su lost was I in this bright world
that I was almost startled by the
1 pheasant voice of an officer beside me.
■ ‘So you like 5 aukee Doodle? he asked
j me, with an amused air. 'Yes, sir,’ I
I promptly replied ; I just Live music,
jeweharps and brass bands and organs
'and all kinds, and when I’m very bid
I at home they play me good
'Play you good?’ he interrogated,
i with rather a puzzled air. ‘Yes, sir
iit is just this way : instead of punish
i ing me they put me on >, sofa and
I play easy, soft music, and, somehow,
; it makes me gooder and gooder’”

I heard an Interesting fact regarding •
the former empress of the French the
other night which shows in what direc
tion her thoughts run. Whenever she
has occasion to write anything about
her lamented husband, she always uses
the diamond pen which signed the i
treaty of Paris. All those who partici- ,
pated in this historical occasion wanted
the pen as a memento. But so keen was 1
the empress on possessing it that she !
begged that only one pen should be
used, which uh. thought she had a
right to retain a- u souvenir. This was '
agreed to. The pen takes the form of a |
quill plucked from a golden eagle’s ,
wing and richly mounted with dia
monds and gold.—Woman's Life I

I once witnessed a phase of prompt
evolution of practical and of devotional 1
religion in Scotch sheepdogs on a com
munion Sabbath among the mountains. '
The churchyard was crowded with
shepherds, accompanied by their dogs,
which lay quietly asleep at the feet of
their masters. The sermon was finished,
the psalm had been sung, the final
prayer was being offered, and there was
no sign of impatience, but the moment
the benediction commenced the devo
tional doggies all roused themselves,
and before the “Amen" they were in
marching order.—“ Newman Hall," an
Autobiography.

Lieutenant (to his orderly)—John,

Orderly—Lieutenant, I take the lib
erty of reminding you that you are in
vited out to dinner today.
“Where have I been invited out to
dinner?"
“You have been invited to dine with
Mr. Holdfast.”
“So I have to dine with the old miser?
I must not go there unprepared. John,
go to the restaurant and bring me two
beefsteaks with onions.”- —London Tit-

From a quarry of soft redstone in
southern Minnesota, the only stone
probably of its kind in the world, the
Indians for centuries obtained materials
for the pipes, which were probably arti

Indian graves from the gulf to Canada.

‘Senator, you were one of the Argo

and was attracted to a roulette wheel. I
A miner was betting SIOO at every!

That remark, for all I knew, had a
great influence on my after career, for I

never to tight any game of chance in

REGARDLESS OF AGE
The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, suffering, and deaths than any
oth r organs of the body.
A majority of the ills afflicting people
today is traceable to kidney trouble. It
pervades all classes of society, in all cli
mates, regardless of age, sex or condition.
The symptoms of kidney trottble are un
mistakable, such as rheumatism, neuralgia
sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in the back
a desire to urinate often day or night, pro
fuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing pois
oned and germ-filled blood. Sometimes
the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wast
ing of the kidneys) are found in the urine,
which if neglected will rdsult in Bright’s
Disease, the most dangerous form of kid
ney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. It has a world
wide reputation for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases.
No one need be long without it as it is
so easy to get at any drug store at fifty
cents or one dollar. You can have a sam
ple bottle of this wonderiul discovery,
Swamp-Root, and a book telling all about
it, both sent to you absolutely free by mail
Send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
