Our Few Real Needs. As civilization and culture make peo- ble more prosperous and more comfort- able they are prone to forget how few and simple their real needs are. We need sleep, but not mwuch of it, and most of us are asleep exactly when ‘we ought most of all to be awake. We heed food, but It is not necessary that food should be cunuingly disguised Wwith a thousand devices to tickle the Jjaded and surfeited palate, for the main trouble is that we eat too much and not too little. We need clothes to wear, but the one suit of fur that lasts certain animals all their lives is so beautiful that some men spend their whole time In search of it. We need heaven and the sense of a higher pow- er directing our lives and our destl- nies, but we spend most of our time refuting and denying the possibility of anything bigger or better than we are. We mneed the love of friends, and therefore it is the wore strunge that we should spend our time not in Im-| proving ourselves, but in decorating our bodies, filling them with food and bustling them about over the earth in esearch of ever freshing sensations.— Philadelphia Ledger. The Poor Fish. This melancholy tragedy happened in Holland. isherman who caught a salt herriu ced the fish in a tub full of salt Every day he took out some of fhe salt water and re- placed it with fresh. In a few days he had the herring living in fresh water. But, not content at stopping here, he decided to try another plan, Every day he took a little water out of the tub until none was left, and the her- ring was still alive. The next course was walking. In a month or so the herring had developed feet and learn- ed to walk, and he accompanied his master on his journeys. One day as they were crossing over a narrow bridge the herring caught sight of the water. Reminiscences of former days flashed through his head, and he re- solved to try t(he water. But while still gnzing at it be fell in, and before his master could aid him he was drowned.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Verdict. The lecture was over, and the gen- tleman who did the talking strained his ears as he followed the audience out of the hall to gather in, so far as be could. what sort of an impression he had made. As he drew near to the doorway two old gentlemen who were making their way out just ahead of him rendered a verdict. “Well, Bankside,” said one of them, “what did you think of it?” “I've heard worse,” said Baukside. “Did you think it was at all illuml- nating?” asked the other. “In an old fashioned way, yes,” re- plied the venerable Bankside. “1 don't quite catch your point,” said the questiouner. “Why, it was illuminating, but it struck me as having more gas than electricity about it,”” explained the eritic.—Judge. The First Telegraph Line. After the formal opening of the first telegraph line bullt for commercial purposes between Washington and Baltimore Professor Morse and his as- sociates offered to sell the invention to the United States government for $100,000, but the price was considered too high. The government had appro- priated $30.000 toward the construction of the Washington-Baltimore line, but after a short period of operation the postmaster general, to whom President Polk had referred the matter, wrote, “Although the invention is an agent vastly superior to any other devised by the genius of man. yet the operation between Washington and Baltimore has not satisfied me that under any rate of postage that can be adopted its revenues can be made to cover its ex- penditures.” Between friends frequent reproof makes the friendship distant.—Confu- clus. T0 ALL AILING WOMEN A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many a Sufferer in Bemidji. No woman can be healthy and well if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that pass off in the secretions when the kidneys are well, are retained in the body when the kidneys are sick. Kidneys and bladder become inflamed and swolen and worse troubles quick- ly follow. ' This is often the true cause of bearing down pains, lame- ness, backache, sideache, ete. Uric poisoning also causes headaches, dizzy spells, languor. nervousness and rheumatic pain. When suffering so, try Doan’s Kidney Pills, a remedy that cures sick kidneys. You will get better as the kidneys get better, and health will return when the kidneys are well. Let a Bemidji woman tell you about Doan’s Kidney Pills: Mrs. Thomas Wilson, 111 Park Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I was troubled with disordered kidneys for three or four years and at times it was difficult for me to do my work. Having my attention called to Doan’s Kidney Pills, I decided to try them and procured a supply. - They gave me such great relief that I take pleasure in recommending them to kidney sufferers.” For sale by all dealers.
