ONE KIDNEY GONE But Cured After Doctors Said There Was No Hope. QO. Verrill, Milford, Me., “Five years ago a bad injury paralyzed me and affected my kid- neys. My back hurt me terribly, and the urine was bad- ly disordered. Doc- tors said my right kidney was practi- cally dead. They said I could never walk again. Iread of Doan’s Kidney Pills and began us- ing them. One box made me stronger and freer from pain. I_kept on using them and in three months was able to get out on crutches, and the kidneys were acting better. I improved rap- idly, discarded the crutches and to the wonder of my friends was soon completely cured.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Sylvanus Bays: A Worthy Desire. An ambitious young Chicagoan re- cently called upon a_ publisher of novels in that city, to whom he im- parted confidentially the information that he had decided to “write a book,” and that he would be pleased to afford the publisher the chance to bring it out. “May I venture to inquire as to the nature of the book you propose to write?” asked the publisher, very po- litely. “Oh,” came in an offhand way from the aspirant for fame, “I think of do- ing something on the line of ‘Les Mis- erables,’ only livelier, you know!” Might Have Guessed It. “IT presume this is Lovers’ lane?” “You forget that ours is a strictly fashionable suburb.” “Ane “This is pag eel ae avenue.” yr cup Fiss Elixir Senna Ele nses th stem E; e t- ail lap el Meh sand oie ac _ due to Consti ation; Acts naturally, acts Peak as a Laxat tive.

TS ee Only two weeks in the city, 4 Twenty years, it seams to me, An’ my very soul is achin’ For the woods o’ Chatt-agee. All the streets is wet an’ sticky, Nasties’ mud I ever see, An’ the plants I’ve seen a-growin’ Don’t desarve the name o’ tree. Up no’th, now, the snow lays purely, All the woods is green an’ white; Fir boughs bent by snow a-top ’em Makes a funny kind o’ light Unnerneath—it’s better’n churches— Not exackly dark or bright, But, somehow, you think of angels Havin’ passed thar in the night. Speak o’ churches, I went into one, Mornin’ o’ Thanksgivin’ day; Allus gone to church that mornin’— Mighty soothin’ like to pray Fer the folks ’tain’t got no blessin’s, But mark you what I say— It ain’t no fun to be prayed fur Upon Thanksgiving day! Thankful for every spark in prison gloom, Thankful for every breath in fetid room, Thankful for every white-faced, wistful child Saved from the click of shuttle and of loom. Thankful that war has taken less of toll, Thankful that peace has writ a fairer scroll, Thankful for every instinct of the heart That brings us nearer to the final goal. Thankful for men to stand and dare and fight, Thankful for every glimpse of coming light, Thankful for every effort, great or small, That finds its inspiration in the Right. Thankful? Ah, yes, for every battle won, For every better thing that has begun, But most for this—the star set in the crown, Lord, that the Nation still is proving on, + | STORY OF THE RUNAWAY BOY i eS VES The dinner hour at the little Bohe- mian club in Tenth street was draw- ing to a close—that is, the evening had reached the stage when all had dined heartily and well—and the cir- cle of guests found in Thanksgiving eve an especial incentive to become more merry than usual. Already a new song had been sung and several bright stories told. It was the turn of the middle-aged man, with the dark mustache and curly brown hair, who sat at the further end of the table. “This period, with Thanksgiving day to-morrow,” he said, “always brings most forcibly to my mind a certain Thanksgiving day I passed with my mother and father, may their souls rest in peace. Not that I did not spend many Thanksgiving days with them, but would that I had spent more. “As you all know, my native place is Sayville, Canada. My father, a wealthy land owner, selected me, the eldest of three sons, to take his place in the management of his farming and lumber interests, in which he em- ployed close to one hundred men. When I was twenty-one years old I got a taste of city life in Montreal and heard wonderful things of other cities, New York especially. Away from the farm I found myself a different boy in every -way, and I determined the city was the only place for me. My father refused even to listen to my arguments. The following winter 1 packed my belongings and came to New York. Through a friend in Mon- treal I secured a position on the—— as a reporter, and at once saw ahead of me a great future, that promised everything from the proprietor of a newspaper of my own to a magazine writer and novelist. “My financial success made me in- dependent, and for three years I con- fined my correspondence to my moth- er and remained at work. Then there was a shakeup and a change of edi- tors, and I turned up among the miss- ing. . Fortunately for my stomach and the friends who had advanced me money, I caught on the —— a week later. When I had been there a year I de- cided that the money end of a news- paper was in the business office and advertising line. Elated by the cap- ture of two big firms, I launched into the business in high feather, fitting up handsome offices and sparing no ex- pense. I even took up some outside investments, and inside of a year I found myself so badly tangled up that I did not know where I stood. Com- pletely hedged in and being pressed on all sides, I determined to make an- other effort with the governor, so I wrote him fully, explaining my posi- tion and asking him to advance money on my note, “In very polite terms he declined to aid me, and again repeated his re- quest for me to come home and take Thanksgiving dinner. It simply meant to come home and stay there. “I needed no money for a ticket this time. That was a mere nothing, and I reached Sayville late the night be- fore Thanksgiving day. “Thanksgiving morning I arose seins 4 earlier than the others, so as to look about the place. I was glad to be home, of course, but the day seemed a hollow mockery to me, as I could not get my mind from my affairs. 1 wandered into the parlor and ran my fingers over the organ. I was born a musician, and, although I have played all my life, I don’t know one note from another. I forget what I played, and would have forgotten that I touched the instrument had it not been for a remark at the breakfast table. “T suppose you will go to church with your father? said my mother. “T am not going to church to-day,’ said the governor. ‘The music that Bob plays is enough for me.’ “He would have it that I go at the organ right after, breakfast. “T started with ‘Abide with Me.’ The governor lighted his cigar, and I heard him sigh gently as I concluded with the soft ‘Amen.’ He brightened up, sat straight, relighted his cigar and kept time with his hands. As soon as I finished the last refrain I pulled out all the stops and crashed into ‘Onward! Christian Soldiers!’ with a burst of melody that almost surprised me, and I followed up the inspiration and worked in all the in- cidentals that could possibly be crowded into the air. “In a minute the governor was on his feet, walking up and down the room, completely lost in the spirit of the music. Then I brought him to a standstill by bringing out that stirring processional, ‘Holy! Holy! Holy!’ He seemed transfixed for a while, and as he took his seat again I played in suc- cession, ‘Pass Me Not,’ ‘I Need Thee Every Hour’ and ‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.’ I played the last hymn twice, and then at a loss for further suitable selections I‘ just wandered over the keys, playing all the tunes I could think of, in very slow measure, and working in minor chords, so they sounded like a series of connecting voluntaries. In this I went to every excess. When I played loud I made room fairly resound, and then I would gradually work the air down until it was so full of sentiment, sorrow and tenderness that I would feel bad my- self, and all through it the governor’s feelings followed the music, straight- ening up when it was bright, sinking low in his chair when it fell soft and low. It was nearly two hours before I stopped. “Then I rested with my hands on the keys. He came behind me, and, placing his hand on my shoulder, said: “‘Bob, how much do you need?’ “‘Two thousand dollars, governor,’ I said. “J left for New York that night with the bank notes in my pocket. It was the happiest Thanksgiving day of my life, and my only regret was that I didn’t kiss that organ goodby.” Tommy’s Sad FVIII.

DARPA LALA ADDDDODODIDOL ODDO DRDO DOODOR DD AD ODD Alaskan Birds in California. At an early hour this morning several flocks of strange birds num- bering thousands came into the city on the wings of a big rain and wind storm, and this morning the bodies of many of the fowl were found lying inert in the downtown streets and in the parks. The air was filled last night with cries of strange fowl which, at- tracted by the electric lights, roosted upon the buildings or fell exhausted in the streets. Investigation to-day showed that many of the birds were of Alaskan variety, and the only accounting for their presence in this latitude is that they were engaged in a long flight to the southern zones from their north- ern summer haunts and had been de- terred from their route by heavy winds and rains. The most noticeable ‘birds were the northern phalorpe and the night herons. The former birds are rarely seen outside of Alaska or in the far south—San Bernardino Correspondence, pam Francisco Chron- icle.
