HAPPY WOMEN. Mrs. Pare, wife of C. B. Pare, a prom- inent resi- dent of Glas- gow, Ky., says: “I was suffering from a com- Plication of kidney trou- bles. Besides a bad back, I had a great deal of trou- ble with the secretions, which were exceedingly variable, sometimes excessive and at other times scanty. The color was high, and passages were accompanied with a scalding sensation. Doan’s Kidney Pills soon regulated the kidney secre- tions, making their color normal, and banished the inflammation which caused the scalding sensation. I can rest well, my back is strong and sound, and I feel much better in every way.” For sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box. FOSTER-MILBURN CO., Buffalo, N. Y. Worse Than Hanging. During a celebrated murder trial in New York city two Irishmen were among the interested spectators. “Sure, the evidence will convict the mer,” remarked one. Not only convict him, but will hang him,” returned the other. “Man alive! They don’t hang mur- derers in New York!” “Well, what do they do with them?” delphia Public Ledger. “Kill them with Aa meats Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot-reach the aie eased portion of the ear.

Boren, Trinity Springs, Ind., Feb. 15, 1900, Hard to Find. An English tourist in the Highlands took a great fancy to a splendid coolie dog belonging to a farmer and gave the farmer £50 for it. “Now, Donald,” | he said, when the bargain was com- pleted, “wouldn’t it pay you far bet- ter raise dogs than to raise sheep?” “I dinna ken aboot that,” was the cautious reply. “Ye see, I can get fowk to buy my sheep at ony market, but it’s no every day I can get a fule to give me fifty pounds for a doug.” to MURDERING TIME. Wilson Thought It Better Killed Than Beaten. Francis Wilson, the comedian, was hearsing 2. musical piece one hot day last summer. Every one in the com-; pany was tired from their work and the heat, and things were not running smoothly. As is generally known, Mr. | Wilson’s voice compels him to almost speak his songs. The chief musical number of the piece had been sung four times, when the musical director called for a repetition. The company started it again, and had sung only a bar or two when the director stopped them, and tapping his baton, angrily ‘said: “Come, come, Mr. Wilson, you are just murdering the time.” “Well,” replied the actor, “it’s bet- ter to murder it at once than to be continually beating it as you do.’—~ Philadelphia Public Ledger. Francis BY PROXY. What the Baby Needed. I suffered from nervousness and headache until one day about a year ago it suddenly oecurred to me what a great coffee drinker I was and I thought maybe this might have some- thing to do with my trouble, so I shifted to tea for awhile but was not better, if anything worse. “At that time I had a baby four months old that we had to feed on a bottle, until an old lady friend told me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three months ago I commenced using Pos- tum, leaving off the tea and coffee, and not only have my headaches and nervous troubles entirely disappeared, but since then I have been giving plenty of nurse for my baby, and have a large, healthy child now. “J have no desire to drink anything but Postum and know it has benefited my children, and I hope all who have children will try Postum and find out for themselves what a really wonder- ful food drink it is.’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. | Both tea and coffee contain quantl- ties of a poisonous drug called Caf- feine that directly affects the heart, kidneys, stomach and nerves.

The Norwegian storthing convened on Oct. 11, with the usual formalities. The address from the throne, read by | Minister Hagerup, reviewed the condi- tions of the country in the past year. The relations between Sweden and Norway were amicable, the negotia- tions for the dissolution of the joint , consular service will be continued and a report presented to the storthing in due time, ; On account of the crop failures in | Wide areas and the poor results from the fisheries, the people were not in position to bear the usual taxes and greater economy must be exer- cised A preparing the budget. Attention was called to the proposed revision of the tariff and the reor- ganization of the army on a more practical basis. A number of project- ed reforms and laws were outlined, such as those relating to the supreme court, insurance companies, the pro- motion of trade, etc. President Thorne was re-elected as |president of the storthing and Herr Berner as vice president. Godske Nielsen was elected secretary. In the oldesthing, Prebensen was chosen as president, Arctander as vice president and Tharaldset as secretary. Vinje was elected president of the ‘logthing, Bohn vice president and Jahren secretary. Cable dispatches indicate that the storthing is taking hold of the tariff question in a vigorous manner and there is apparent] ya decided senti- ment in favor of increasing the duties on exports. SWEDEN’S COPPER COINAGE. | Its Introduction Was to Relieve the Country’s Financial Distress. One of the most interesting events in Swedish history is the introduction | of copper dalers in the country’s coin- age system. The attempt to give a copper daler the same value as a sil- ver daler of the same size proved dis- astrous, as those who had silver and goid concealed the coin or deposited it with foreign banks, and Sweden was not long on a copper basis. Upon the return of Charles XII., king of Sweden from Turkey, where he had fled for fear of capture by the Russians, he found affairs in such a serious state that he deemed it wise to place the financial management of the state in the hands of Baron Goertz, one of the shrewdest men in Sweden. The baron relieyed the straitened circumstances of the government by a masterly financial maneuver. He is- sued dalers of the usual size, but struck in copper instead of silver; and these coins were made by law to pass at the silver value of a daler, heavy punishment being meted out to those who refused to accept them. The coins, aS a consequence, went into general use, and the royal treasury was speedily replenished, the profit to the government on a “copper dollar” being naturally enormous. HEARTLESS RAILWAYS. Refuse to Reduce Freight Rates in Drouth Districts. Agricultural Sweden is) much in- censed with the government and the railway authorities because of their refusal to reduce freight rates on fod- der for live stock destined for Norr- land and Bohus lan, where the crops have been very poor. The live stock ean not be carried through the long winter without importing fodder and feed and on account of the general scarcity in Northern Europe the prices | are very high. The farmers of Bohus lan are in sore straits and the curt re- fusal of the railways to give them any assistance is inexplicable. SCANDIA IS SHAKEN. Damage Done by an Earthquake, but No Fatalities. Denmark and the Scandinavian pe- ninsula were shaken around in a live- ly manner by an earthquake recently. Considerable damage was done by the seismic disturbance, but at last ac- counts no fatalities had been record- ed. Peat Will Do. A successful experiment with peat as fuel for locomotives was recently | undertaken on the Solver railway in Norway. teen loaded cars, twelve empties, and made the trip from Flisen to Kongs- vinger, according to schedule. The fuel used was. one-half prepared peat and one-half coal ,and the experiment was wholly satisfactory to the ex- perts. Fishers “in Northern Norway are complaining about the seals. (russe- kobben), which are again spoiling the fishing. The seals in some of the fjords have destroyed or frightened away the salmon and have also ruined the brisling catch in certain places in Hoegsfjord. The Swedish postoffices handled 48,- 900,000 postal cards in 1903, as against only 20,500,000 two years ago. The increase is due almost entirely to the souvenir postal card eraze, which is now running at flood tide. The train consisted of nine- | Scientist’s Comparison in Condemning New System of Pumping. Sir William Ramsay visited Phila- felphia recently with the Society of Chemical Industry, and during his visit a reporter questioned him about the: drinking water of the world’s great cities. r ““London’s drinking water is most impure,” the scientist said. “They hold | that the English take more baths than any other nation, but it is neverthe- less a fact that you Philadelphians, when your filtration plants shall be completed, will have a larger water supply than London, notwithstanding the big difference in the two cities’ populations.” The reporter explained a new sys- tem for pumping water. “What do you think of that system, Sir William?” he concluded. awkward way of remedying, impure water’s evils,” said the scientist. “It reminds me of the way a parlor maid of mine once tried to remedy the evil of a wrongly set table. “This maid was left-handed, and in laying the cloth for a certain party she put the knives on the left of the plates and the forks on the right. Al wrong, you see. . “The housekeeper, coming in to look the table over, noticed the error at once. “Why, Harriet,’ she said, ‘you have placed all the knives and forks left: handed.’ “‘*Ah, so I have,’ sighed Harriet. ‘Would you be kind enough now, ma’am, to help me turn the table?’ ” Fooled Careless Hunters. Peterson E. Jones of Syracuse, N. Y., who returned recently from the Big Moose Lake in the Adirondacks, said that the people at the resors in the woods had been so alarmed by the accidental shooting of deer hunt: ers that they hardly dared stir from the hotels. All sorts of precautions were taken, but the one used by Col. Chauncey P. Williams of Albany is the most unique thus far this season. Mr. Williams landed at Big Moose station. Instead of taking the buck- board for the two-mile ride to the lake, he decided to walk. Before Le started he took out of his traveling bag a brand new cow bell, and with this in one hand and the grip in the other he rattled his way through the woods to the lake. Identifying the Class. “I don’t recall seeing you at col- lege. I guess you must have been before my time.” “Possibly; possibly.

That was the year our center rush carried most of the opposing team on his back for a gain of thirty yards. Yes, in- deed! I wonder. who was president then. I don’t seem to remember mi- nor details of college life myself.” Indian Territory Farm Land. The available farm land in Indian Territory is estimated at 15,000,000 acres. These figures are taken from the records of the Dawes commis- sion. Of this, 15 per cent was in cul- tivation last year. There are about 2,000,000 acres of land where pine is found in commercial quantities, and there is an abundance of hard woods of all kinds. The latest statistics ob- | tainable give the value of farm ani- | mals at $55,000,000. The per cent of the population engaged in agriculture is exceeded in only three states—Mis- sissippi, Oklahoma and Arkansas.— Kansas City Journal.

Without a moment’s hesitation, hesaid: ‘I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Peruna and I believe with good effect.” Like the Battle of Santiago, the thought was sprung upon him without any warning, and he disposed of it with the same vim and decision as he did with the Spanish fleet led by the ill-fated Viscaya. His words concerning Peruna have gone out into the world 2 be repeated by a thousand tongues, because he has said em. of his victory over Cervera, his words con- Peruna will be caught up by the multitudes and passed from mouth to mouth, across oceans and con- tinents. Except for an in-born manly independence, in a country of free speech, these words never would have been uttered by an officer in such a notable position as that of Admiral Schley. Ex¢ept for a world-wide notoriety and popularity, such as Peruna enjoys, no remedy could ever have received such out- spoken public endorsement by such a man. BABY’S DIAGNOSIS. ory.

Deep Valley, Pa., Oct. 31.—(Spe- cial.)—There is deep interest in Green county over the cure of the little daughter of I. N. Whipkey of Rheu- matism. She was a great sufferer for five or six years and nothing seemed to do her any good till she tried Dodd’s Kidney Pills. She began to improve almost at once and now she is cured and can run and play as other chil- dren do. Mr. Whipkey says: “I am indeed thankful for what Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done for my daughter; they saved her from being a cripple perhaps for life.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills have proved that Rheumatism is one of the results of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood and _ conse- quently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kid- ney Pills make the Kidneys right.
