=o —— HER FRIENDS WONDER w Mrs, Kessler Was Rescued from Almost Certain Death. ° Few have lived through such trials @nd suffering from kidney disease as were endured by Mrs. Caroline Kess- ler of W. Main St., Paw Paw, Mich. Well and strong again, her case is thought a miracle by her friends. What Mrs. Kessler went through makes a be long story — back- b ache, rheumatism, dizzy and fainting spells, urinary disorders, dreadful bloating of dropsy ‘and finally a com- plete prostration that defied medical skill and caused her to be given up. Through the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills Mrs. Kessler is a well woman and is willing to tell about her case to anyone who cares to inquire. Sold by all dealers. 50 cts. a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. DUSKY MONARCH “EASY MARK” Wiles of Beautiful Captive Proved Just the Thing When Emer- gency Came. The beautiful young captive retained her presence of mind, however, and when it came her turn to be taken before the cannibal king, she marceled herseif-very carefully. “Ain't I sweet, though!” shé ex- claimed, archly flirting her handker- chief at the monarch. His majesty at once fell into the trap. “You're simply it!” he replied cor- dially. “Well, sweet things are terribly fat- tening.” “Ah!” “O, terribly. .And there’s nothing so hopelessly out Of it as to be fat, these days!” Whereupon the king was greatly shaken and commanded her instant re- lease. “People used to blame me because I knew I was pretty, but all the time I felt sure the knowledge would come handy some day!” commented the lovely creature, as she was led away. —Puck. NATURE STUDIES. The Phunnibeak Bird—Hello, who are you? The Other Bird—Don’t you know me? Why, I'm “The harp that once through Tara’s Halls.” The Phunnibeak Bird (shortly)—Oh, tut; tut! You’re a lyre! That’s what you are. Force of Habit. In spite of the impediment in his speech the fervent lover had nerved himself up to the point of a proposal. “Mum-Mum-Maud,” he began, “I mum-mum-may call you Mum-Mum- Maud, may I nun-nun-not?” “Why, yes, if you wish to, Mr. Chat- terton—Harry.” “That's rah-rah-right. Ha-Harry.” “Ha-ha-Harry!” “Thank you, Mum-Mum-Maud, there is sus-sus-something very nun-nun- near my heart that concerns yuh-yuh- what Call me Ha- you. Can you gug-gug-guess it is?” “Why, no, Harry.” “Then I'll tut-tut-tell you. My dud- dud-darling. I lul-lul-love you. Wuh- wuh-will you bub-bub-bub-bub-be my wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh-wife?” “Oh, Harry! This is so sudden!” AN OLD TIMER Has Had Experiences, A woman who has used Postum since it came upon the market knows from experience the wisdom of us- ing Postum in place of coffee if one values health and a clear brain. She says: “At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia, and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum. I got a package and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia. “My husband bad been drinking cof- fee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly, and I persuaded him to shift to Postum. It was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is so delicious. It cer- tainly worked wonders for him. “We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate nor depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honest- ly strengthens the nerves and the stomach. “To make a long story short, our en- tire family continued to use Postum with satisfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health and we have noticed a rather unexpected im- provement in brain. and nerve power.” Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner. ‘There’s a Reason.” Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville.” Ever read the above letter? A new .e appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. SWEDEN. Stockholm is decorated in gala at- tire in honor of the czar’s visit. The ezar’s yacht was met this morning at some distanee from the city by King Gustaf and Queen Victoria, in their own yacht, the Drott. All then went aboard the Russian yacht Standart, which steamed up the stream and an- chored. The royal party entered the king’s barge and went to the landing stage, where a large arch had been erected. Having been formally re- ceived here, they took carriages and drove through streets lined with troops to the royal castle. All traffic on the four sides of the palace was stopped for the day. No untoward demonstration occurred and only the best of feeling was shown. It is ex- pected that the czar and his party will return to the Standart tonight and sail for Tullgarn, Sunday or Mon- day. Nicholas looked well as he came ashore and cordially greeted those presented to him. ‘His visit is favor- ably regarded by Swedes in general as indicating that he deems it worth while to renew friendly relations with this country. It also is considered by some to mean that Russian statesmen have in mind some plan of drawing the Scandinavian countries closer to Russia, England and France, which now are aligned in opposition to Ger- manic ambitions. King Gustaf recently interfered with the work of the managers of the state railways in an interesting manner. K. O. Erickson, a substitute at a rail- way station, entered the service of the state railways nine years ago. A year later the front part of his right foot was crushed while he was switch- ing cars at Tomteboda. The wound was well attended to, and Erickson recovered. He remained in the ser- vice and did office work part of the time, and finally applied for a regular position. But the railway authorities refused to comply with his request, and he turned to the king. Dr. Nord- lund, the railway physician, testified officially that Erickson was strong and healthy in every respect, with the exception of the injury mentioned above. By means of a suitable band- age he could walk on the maimed leg almost as well as on the other, and he seemed to be able to do any kind of work indoors. The king, having made himself familiar with the facts, decid- ed that nothing prevented Mr. Erick- son from filling a regular position on the state railways. A unique funeral. A young man named Almskong, refused to serve in the army, and was imprisoned at Vas- tervik. He died in jail, and was bur- ied in the Kalmar cemetery. His cof- fin was covered with red cloth. A great number of young Socialists came to take part in the procession, and before the party reached the graveyard there was a throng of 3,000 people. When the officiating clergy- man was ready to perform the last rites, a stove-maker named Bjorklund proceeded to make a lengthy address. The preacher tried to stop him, but in vain. Bjorklund was finally taken away by the watchman of the ceme- tery, and the preacher performed the ceremonies. Finally a hymn was to be sung; but this was prevented by the young Socialists, who sang the “International Hymn.” A black ban- ner with the following motto was raised at the grave: “The State Murdered Him. We Demand Re- venge.” The police remained quiet. Many poor people are afraid of in- suring their lives for fear that they way not be able to keep up the pay- ments. A Swedish insurance com- pany has contrived a new scheme to minimize this fear. A savings bank of a peculiar construction is left with the insured. It is made in such a way that one may keep it going like a watch by dropping into it ten ore (2,5 cents) every day. If so much as a day is missed the machinery stops. The coin acts as a sort of key, and every coin put in is registered. It is supposed that the insured will not fee! the burden of the insurance so much when the premiums are paid in.daily driblets of less than three cents each. The experiment has not been fairly tried yet. The solidary banking concerns of Sweden have a capital of $56,700,000, and the stock company banks $172,- 800,000. The Skane Enskilda bank heads the list, with a capital stock of $14,445,000. At the beginning of the year the Filipstad bank had the largest percentage of the capital stock on hand, namely, 18.2 per cent. The Stockholm Handels bank gave the largest returns on the investment, the dividend paid to the stockholders being 17 per cent. In point of. litiga- tion the Goteborg bank took the lead with 713 lawsuits, involving about $400,000. The seats in the first and second class passenger cars on the state rail- ways of Sweden will soon-be num- bered, and when a passenger buys a ticket he will receive a numbered tag which entitles him to a certain seat. The same innovation will be made on the Norwegian and Danish lines con- nected with the Swedish lines in southern Sweden, The king has ratified regulations for the new commercial high school in. Stockholm, and former Foreign Minister Lagerheim has been appoint- ed chairman of the board of direc- tors. Principal Happenings of the Week in the Scandinavian Countries.

The stockholders receive 25 per cent on their investments, the beet growers an allotment of $612,250, and the managers receive $64,260. The reserve fund now exceeds $4,000,000, or considerably more than 50 per cent of the capital stock. The Farmers’ Bank, which was wrecked by Alberti, will.soon be in a position to resume operations, about 7,000 persons having subscribed over $1,000,000 to the guaranty fund. FINLAND. The difficulties attending the estab- lishment of definite relations between Finland and Russia seem to be in- creasing. In Russia it is claimed that after the introduction of a constitu- tional form of government some of the functions of the monarch passed to the douma and the imperial coun- cil, while the Finns hold that the new form of government in Russia has not affected the relations between the monarch and the Finnish landtdag, and that the Russian imperial coun- cil has no right to meddle with the internal affairs of Finland. No mat- ter how careful the landtag is, it will be bound to touch upon the rules which provide that certain bills shall be placed directly before the monarch, while the imperial council will ask for these bills in the first place. Trou- ble will also be caused by the arbi- trary ruling of the council that bills passed by a landtdag which is after- wards dissolved shall be void. NORWAY. The success of Elias Tonnesen, the, notorious—or perhaps famous—bur- glar, is largely due to a peculiar dis- inclination on the part of the ordinary Norwegian to assist the police. Al- most a hundred years ago Gjest Baardsen became a national hero simply by being a clever fellow to steal from the rich and to break jail. Tonnesen worked on the same plan. It is a good joke on the Norwegians that Tonnesen was caught when he went to Sweden. The Norwegian boy patriots think the Swedes got even with the Norwegians by this catch, the Norwegians being responsible for the death of Karl XII., Sweden’s war- king! Elias Tonnesen, who in a short while acquired national notoriety as a burglar and jail-breaker, was cap- tured in Gothenburg, Sweden. The hostility between Admiral Sparre and Admiral Borresen in the Norwegian navy is still causing mis- chief. Sparre is a Leftist and a friend of the present cabinet, and Borresen is a Rightist. a court martial to dispose of certain charges of malfeasance, preferred against him by Sparre. The govern- ment is endeavoring to settle the dif- ficulty as a mere business matter, but to this the Rightists in the storthing are opposed. It is not improbable that the Rightists will carry their poirt in the storthing, and in that case Premier Knudsen may resign. Deposits of rich zinc ore have been discovered at Sande, near Drammen. Lom, Guldbrandsdal, last spring than ever before in the same length of time. It is claimed that they left the country because they could not ob- tain land of their own at home, though much good land is lying around unused in that part of the country. This fact has aroused a lively discussion in the press about the disposition of unused tillable land in Norway. I. N. Grude, at Sandnas, had 4,000 trout fry put into a pond prepared for the purpose at Hojland church, and they are growing so fast that when they get about 1% years old they are large enough for a meal at a restaur- ant. It is now proposed to construct trout ponds where the offal from the canneries may be used to the greatest advantage. A forest fire started at Nas, Ro- merike, and about 50 acres of scrawny timber was destroyed before it was put out. It is supposed to have been started by careless woodchoppers. Utsond, the noted sculptor, has a farm at Kviteslid, and he enjoys the work on it so keenly that his hands look like those of the busiest clod- hopper. The philosophical faculty of the university of Lund has proposed the establishment of a geographical sem- inary in connection with the univer- sity. The. foreign trade of Norway was considerably smaller during the first four months of this year than during the corresponding period in 1908. The Norwegians are greatly pleased because the Swedes living at Fred- riksbold, Norway, hoisted the Norwe- gian colors upon the arrival of the king and queen of Norway. Even a Swedish steamer which happened to arrive at that time, flew the Norwe- gian flag from the prow. A Kristiania girl tried to fill a gaso- line stove without putting out the fire. Her dress caught fire, and she jumped out of the window from the second story. She was not injured by the fall, but she was so badly burned that she died a few hours later, Borresen has asked for}.

We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma- jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations, Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons, In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. : Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St. Louis, Mo., says: “I have prescribed your Castoria {m many, cases and have always found it an efficient and speedy remedy.” Dr. HB. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “I have prescribed your Cas+ toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients.” Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. ¥., says: “I have used your Case toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm.” Dr, J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: “Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily comment its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children.” Dr. C..G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: “Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo- cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an. exception for conditions which arise in the care of children.” Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Your Castoria holds tha esteem,of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie- tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil- dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments.” Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: “Castoria is one cf the very, finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my, opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits.” Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef- fective in relieving children’s disorders, while the ease with which such @ pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage.” cenune CASTORIA Atways Bears the Signature of The Kind You Have Always Bought In Use For Over SO Years. ‘THE CENTAUR COMPANY, T7 MURRAY STREET, NEW YORK CITY.

A friend of mine told me of a curi- ous experience. He was carefully stalking a big bull elephant in a large herd, when they got his wind, and a big cow elephant charged him. He jumped behind a large tree as the elephant reached him, and, being un- able to stop herself in time, the ele- phant drove her tusks with such force into the tree that they snapped off close to her head. The elephant was stunned for a moment, but luckily turned and galloped after the fast re- treating herd, leaving him the posses- sor of some 80 pounds of ivory, valued at about $250.—Circle Magazine.
