Read the following case: Veteran Joshua Heller of 706 South Walnut street, Urbana, Ill, says: “In the fall of 1899 after getting Doan’s Kidney Pills at Cunningham Bros.’ drug store in Champaign and taking a course of treatment I told the readers of the paper that they had relieved me of kidney trouble, disposed of a lame back with pain across my loins and beneath the shoulder blades, Dur- ing the interval which had elapsed I have had occasion to report to Doan’s Kidney Pills when I noticed warnings of attack.

Here's a Horse Race Story That Mr. Charlie Treviathan Tells. Charles Treviathan was judging on the Butte (Mont.) track a year ago. He was surprised one day to note that a famous “bad man” from Arizona had entered a speedy three-year-old in a stake race, and knowing the quality of the horse and the crookedness of the owner, Treviathan watched close- ly for the “job” which he expected. Treviathan sent for the Arizonian. “Think it looks bad, eh, judge?” queried the man from the desert. “Lemme tell you a story. An old friend of mine was trappin’ up in the Yellowstone and got separated from his gun by a big grizzly. “He seen sunthin’ had to be done, an’ so ne prayed. ‘Good Lord,’ he said, ‘I’ve never in my whole life ast you to do anythin’ for me, but if you ever intend to, now’s your time. But if you ain’t a-goin’ to do nuthin’ for me, please don’t do nothin’ for that bar, either, and I promise you'll see the darndest fight or the best race you ever did see.’” “Then he walked away,” said Tre- viathan. “But 1 didn’t want any bet- ter guarantee.”—New York World. WAS REFUSED LIFE INSURANCE. Account Heart.” Life insurance companies have fully established the fact that the use of coffee causes an organic derangement of the heart, shortening the long beat and imperiling life. For this reason habitual coffee drinkers are refused life insurance in many cases. A well- known merchant of White’s Creek, Tenn., proprietor of a large store there, says: “Three years ago I was examined for life insurance and to my surprise was rejected because my heart action was at times out of place 15 beats in 60. “TJ consulted several good doctors and was invariably asked by them, ‘Do you drink ardent spirits? use to- bacco? or drink coffee? To the first { answered, ‘Very little,’ to the second ‘No,’ to the last ‘Yes,’ and they would all say, ‘Quit coffee.’ “J determined to do this. I had read about Postum Cereal Coffee and bought and used it, and I liked it as’ well as the best of real coffee, and as a result of its use in the place of cof- fee I find myself without a skip in my heart action and I can get insurance on my life cheaper by 25 per cent (notwithstanding the advance in age) than I could when I first commenced using Postum.” Name furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

He was threatened with pneumonia, and was under the care of a physician, but his condition was not deemed critical and his death was quite unexpected. The remains were taken in charge by the consul. The deceased was in the best of health when he left Minnéapolis a month ago to give an exhibit of his paintings in Chicago. During the two months Mr. Smith-Hald spent in the Twin Cities he impressed one as being very active and robust for a man of his age. His death will be greatly re- gretted, for as an artist he was in the meridian of his power. Frithjof Smith-Hald was born at Christianssand, Norway, about fifty- six years ago. The Smith and Hald families are among the best in Nor- way. At the age of nineteen Smith- Hald began the study of art in the Eckersberg studio in Dusseldorf. Then he went to Prof. Gude at Carlsruhe, only to return after a time to Dussel- dorf. His preliminary work was com- pleted at Paris, where he achieved fame as a painter of coast views. His most famous paintings represent scenes along the coast of Norway and in Cornwall. The sea he knew in its every mood, and he depicted these moods with striking fidelity. Moonlight and sun- light effects on the mountain tops were also most effectively transferred to canvas by him. All the more im- portant art collections in Europe have one or more Smith-Hald paintings, but in America he was chiefly known through various reproductions of his works. It is said of him that he has done as much as any other one man to make the picturesque parts of Nor- way known to the world., During the past thirty years, while counted a Parisian, he has traveled extensively. For several months he has been tour- ing the United States with a collection of his works. During the winter his family, con- sisting of a wife and five children, has been living in Berlin, where he ex- pected shortly to join them. GERMANS FEAR MUSCOVITES. Will Attempt to secure Friendship ot Scandinavian Countries. It is believed that politics is involved in the forthcoming visit of the kaiser to the Danish court. The rapid Rus- sification of Finland has alarmed Ger- many, the statesmen of which country believe the whole Scandinavian penin- | sula is in danger from Russian rapac- ity and that therefore peril- is begin- ning to overshadow Germany from the North. These statesmen argue that it is becoming abundantly clear that Scandinavia must choose between Germany and Great Britain for protec- tion. The kaiser has shown his supe- rior smartness to John Bull by being | first in the field for the wooing of the 10,000,000 Seandinavians. The ap- proaching knitting together of the Russian and Swedish railways has hastened the kaiser’s pro-Danish pol- icy. Though the kaiser may establish himself on a friendly footing in the Danish court, it is doubtful if the Dan- ish people will welcome any alliance with the Germans as long as the Prus- sian officials continue to illtreat and harass the Danes in Schleswig. That either Norway or Sweden will grant any concessions to Russia is ‘incon- ceivable in view of the heartless and brutal treatment accorded to their kinfolks, the Finns, during the past four years. AMERICANS TOO SWIFT. They Anticipate Government Control of Swedish Copper Mines. While the Swedish government has been dreaming, an American syndicate has purchased for 4,000,000 kroner ($1,072,000) the Sjangeli copper mines near Tornelake. a movement on the part of foreign capitalists to absorb the mineral wealth of Scandinavia, a consumma- tion Swedish statesmen are said to have been straining every nerve to avert. It is expected that the Sjangeli purchase will hasten parliamentary agitation in faver of taking over all these properties by the government. Swedish Physicians. There are 1,362 physicians entitled to practice medicine in Sweden. Of these the eldest is Dr. Hamburg-Smith who, however, has lived in America for fifty years. He is ninety-three years of age. The youngest physicians are three newly created M. D.’s who are each twenty-six years of age. It would be quite impossible to complete the Swedish medical course at an earlier age. ' Nelson Is Ousted. After an investigatibn into charges that Victor E. Nelson, United States consul at Bergen, Norway, had applied to his own use part of a sum of money sent to him to be given to Norwegian relatives of seamen Killed in the Maine disaster, the state department demanded Mr. Nelson's resignation. The demand was made by cable a few days ago. No response having been received, the place was declared va- cant and Edwin S. Cunningham, United States consul at Aden, was transferred to Bergen. ‘hus has been begun | In Far Northland. FROM THE OLD COUNTRY. Both houses of the riksdag have, without debate, passed a law prohib- iting any change in the flag or coat of arms of the government without the | consent of the riksdag. The law only lacks the approval of the government before becoming effective. It was the Norwegian flag law which brought about the enactment of the measure, as previously changes in the Swedish approval of the king.

Regardig the union question, Hen- rik Ibsen is quoted as saying in a re- cent interview: ile TO HOMESEEKERS. “It is absolutely necessary for the | small nations to remember that, ac- cording to the,;law of evolution, they | must be changed into larger nations. | The only choice open to the small na- tions is to unite of their own accord, otherwise they will be forced into union by the great powers. _ Politi- cians who talk about war between the Scandinavian nations are reactionary, however progressive their expressed views may be in other respects. by joint work, economical and intel- ligent, can the little states go forward or maintain their positions before the great powers.” The Russification of Finland, now in progress, and the forcible annexa- | tion of the Boer republic by England, should serve as practical object les- Only | sons to those who are of a different | opinion from Herr Ibsen. Scandinavian Mines. Prof. Vogt, in a lecture on the min- eral deposits of Northern Sweden and Norway, advised that iron works be established at Ofoten, Norway. Min- ing would, in his opinion, become of greater importance in Nordland and Finmarken than fishing in Lofoten. He also called attention to the copper | mines of Sulitjelma, which, years, had yielded 400,000 copper. in ten tons of One Man’s Will. Rasmus Ralfsen, a well-to-do manu- facturer of Landviken, Norway, who | died last month at the age of ninety- two, left his whole fortune as a fund for the advancement of agriculture. Special bequests were made for Ber- gen’s drainage society, Bergen’s for- estry society, while Ladegaarden’s orphan asylum received 10,000 kroner. Study in Polar Seas.

Hartman, Presi- dent The Hart- man Sanitarium IKE A DEMON grip has crossed our country, leaving behind scores of physical wrecks. : Victims of catarrhof the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh of the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh of the pelvic organs, are to be counted by hundreds of thousands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and sows the seed of chronic ca- tarrh within the system. This is so true that few grip sufferers are able to make a complete recovery until they have used Peruna. Never in the history of medicine has a remedy received such unqualified and un- iversal eulogies as Peruna. A New York Alderman’s Experience. Hon. Joseph A. Flinn, alderman Fifth District, writes from 104 Christopher street, New York City, as follows : “‘When a pestilence overtakes our people we take precaution as a nation to preserve the citizens against the dread disease. “La grippe has entered thousands of our homes this fall, and I noticed that the people who used Peruna were quickly re- stored, while those who depended on doctor's prescriptions, spent weeks in recovering, leaving them weak and emaciated. “Thad a slight attack of la grippe and at once took Peruna, which drove the disease When a man begins to pity himself we may conclude that his case is really pitiable.

I suffered with a severe backache, indigestion and numerous ills, so I could neither eat nor sleep, and ‘I thought I would give up my work, which I could not afford to do. “*One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and I procured a bottle the same day.
