“IVrsAsteut! Say. ray wife Is that

cious to bahit of any person 1 ever

addicted to a haidi there's no break- |

could change Iter habit.**
•'Softie persistent. I’ll say.” agreed
the other.
-You bet.” said the first speaker.
“Why. here last summer I put a bay
window on the front room of our
house. There was a week while we
were doing it that the whole end of
the house was open as a hay field in
August; there wasn’t a single thing
to prevent man or animal entering our
house at auy hour of daylight or dark-
ness. Fact I Hut what do you think;
1 couldn't make my wife understand
that It was, under those conditions, a
waste of time to lock the doors. Every
night aud every time she went dowu-
street she matte a complete circuit of
the house, carefully looking doors and
windows, so’s to keep the wicked folks
out.”—Kennebec Journal.

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in a
rural district and became famous
for hia uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was Dr.
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo. N. Y.,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called “Golden Medical
Discovery,” in the drug stores of
the United States so that the pub-
lic could easily obtain this very
emarkable tonic, corrective and
>!ood-maker. Dr. Pierce manu-
YCtured this ‘ Discovery" from

nature had put in the fields and

Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this “Golden Medical Discovery”

respondents Have Accompanied the
Armies in the Field.
War correspondents, who have «
distinguished place in the latest hon-
ors list, form an ancient tribe If we
reckon Homer as one of them, re
marks the Manchester Guardian.
Sutherland Edwards maintained that
the editor of a Greek paper entitled
Chronos sent Homer out to Troy to
describe the incidents of the siege,
which really lasted only about seven
weeks. Hut when it was at an end
the Greek chiefs had no desire what-
ever to go home; and as Homer (or
“O’Maher"—to give his name In its
original un-Hei!euized form) was o
very good fellow and drew a large sal-
ary with an abundant allowance for
^ expenses, he readily accepted the idea
; proposed by the wise Ulysses—to keep
the war going in the columns of his
paper as long as he could manage
to write about It. His correspondence
was too go**.! not to publish; and
meantime the Greek chiefs went about
amusing themselves,

Rothschild. In 1S15, had a correspond-
ent of his own who kept close to
Wellington’s army and supplied his
employer with news of high financial
value. After the jteace of 1815 the
first war of Importance In Europe was
the one between the Carlists and the
Chrlstinos in Spain, which, beginning
In 1831. dragged on In desultory fash-
ion until 1837, when, a British legion
having been formed to assist the Chrls-
tinos. It attracted much attention In
this country. British opinion was di-
vided. Queen Christina finding support
among the whigs, Don Carlos among
j the tories. Both armies were accused
of committing atrocities, so the Times
and the Morning Post sent correspond-
ents to the Carlist camp with instruc-
tions to find out how the war was
really being carried on. C’apt. Hen-
nfngsen. who represented the Times,
was an admirable writer and a profes-
sional soldier, whereas Charles Gru-
nelsen. who went on behalf of the
Post, possessed no military experience.
| Still, he proved the more successful
of the two, for Henningseu's letters
never reached the Times. Grunelsen’8,
on the other hand, appeared In the
Morniug Post, and on this rests the
claim put forward, not by Grunelsen
himself but by his friends, for class-

Sweet Child Remembered Only Too
Well Remark That Her Mother
Had Let Drop.
Cousin Robert from tbe country, had
come to dinner, and little Ethel had
been allowed to sit up as a great treat.
Now. Ethel is one of those children
one meets nowadays who hear a great
rli'-il too ranch for their years, and
moreover, who don't believe in the
saying about children not being heard.
You can’t stay near dear little Bthel
without hearing quite a lot.
Which all gets on with the story of
the night when Cousin Robert came to
supper.
“Do have another helping of the pot-
pie, Robert!" said Ethel’s mother, aft-
er Robert had already caused two
platefuls to disappear.
"Well. Cousin Mary, I think I will,
since you are so pressing.” replied the
guest.
“You win. mother!" exclaimed Ethel
suddenly; and mother, caught nap-
ping. turned to her with a smile and
asked:
“Win. dear?"
"Yes. I heard you say to father this
morning that you bet a dollar that
Cousin Robert behaved like a pig?”
Individual Airplanes.
Whether or not the average cftlzen
welcomes the Idea of individual air-
planes jaunting about In the air over
his head, the Inventors are busy
enough trying to Invent them. Sev-
eral small planes are already more or
less on the way to such use la Eng-
land, Italy and France. Coe reads of
planes already perfected, and that
“small and light, and capable of being
landed at low speed, they are Just the
type for flitting about the country,
from one club to another." Italy Is
said to have produced the smallest, a
trl-plane only ll^ feet wide, and re-
quiring for Its operation “about as
much skill as the attachment of a
side-car to a motorcycle.” Seeing,
says the adage. Is believing; and the
pedestrian who takes scant pleasure In
this notion of a gentleman flitting
about the country from one club to
another may well wonder how soon
be will ti.ve to believe hi them.

Many Pangs That Pass for Rheuma-
tism Are Really Due to Weak
Kidneys
Is it rheumatism?
Not every pain is.
Weak kidneys let uric acid collect.
Uric acid causes many queer pains.
In the thigh it’s sciatica;
In the back lumbago;
In the nerves, neuritis.
Gout, gras-el. dropsy are uric
troubles.
When you suspect the kidneys use
Doan’s Kidney Pills—
The home-recommended remedy.

,T. Jonson says: “A few years ago,
I had an attack of rheumatic trouble
that just about laid me up. The mus-
cles in my back were so stiff and sore
I could hardly move and when I would
stoop over, I couldn’t straighten up.
JI tried several medicines without help,
* when a friend advised me to try
Doan’s Kidney Pills. I began taking
them and right away they helped me.
I took about tw’o boxes and was cured
of the attack. I haven’t had any
trouble since then.'*

When Better Automobiles Are Built,
Buick Will Build Them
rrms big seven passenger Buick Model K-49
1 is the ideal family car of the Buick series. Its
large roomy tonneau and luxurious seats are filled
with comfort.
Its finish and design combine both beauty and
refinement, readily attracting the attention of those
who take pride in ownership.
The Buick Valve-in-Head motor furnishes surplus
power, assuring the usual Buick economical service
and endurance.
These qualities of construction have increased this
car's popularity to such a degree that purchasers
who delay in placing their orders experience diffi-
culty in securing desired delivery.
