old Clock which Can Hold It's Own
with n Modern Timepiece
J. C. Mccoy of st. Louis is in posses
sion of a remarkable clock that has an
interesting history, says the Boston
Advertiser. 1t was made in 1916. The
aged horologe was originally the time
piece of the old Territorial bank OF
St. Louis which was chartered in 1915
and was the first bank west of the Mis-
sissippi river. AT the close of that in
stitution the clock passed into the
possession of the Bank of Missouri
in 1918. When that establishment col
lapsed in 1922 the clock became the
property of the banks president, Col.
T. F. Riddick. After his death in 1881
1t served as timepiece for his son=in-
law, the late c. T. Billion. From him
It went to his brother, F. L. Billion. II
was kept by him over thirty years, and
his death, some months ago, led up to
a condition which has forced the family
to think of selling it. During the long
period which the venerable clock has
spent in Missouri 1t has been kept con-
stantly running, with little If any re-
pairs, except an occasional cleaning,
and records time with excellent ac-
curacy. 1t is what was originally
known as willard timepiece," being
named after the patentee and manu-
facturer of that style of clocks in Con-
necticut. The clock is made in the
fashion of colonial timepieces, the pen
dulum swinging in a square box which
is suspended from the dial That por-
ton of the clock which protects the
shaft and pendulum bears painted
scenes, one of which is a medieval
castle.

GOT THE BACKACHE?
If You Have, Here's the Way to Rid
Yourself Of the WEAKNESS and
Pain Attending 1t.

Some people suffer with headaches,
many people are worn out and weary all
the time, many more people have lame
back and backache. Few people under
stand the real cause of their aches, and
fewer yet know how easily they can find
q cure. Just a word of explanation before
we prove that what we say is true. The
back is the keynote of the kidneys It
aches; that's a sign that the kidneys are
not working properly; it is lame another
sign, the kidneys are out of order. The kid
neys, you know, are the filters of the blood,
but filters sometimes get clogged up.
This means in their case that the blood
courses through the entire system impreg-
mated with poisonous uric acid, bringing
on many a disorder which, if neglected,
means disease perhaps incurable. And
now about the cure Don't take our word
for it; read what others say :
Mr.. David G. Oaks is proprietor of the
well known hardware and paint shop at
220 East Main Street, Kalamazoo. Mr..
Oaks has suffered great deal from kidney
ailments; he described his condition and
cure as follows: Il had bad, lame back,
which l suppose was caused by my kid
neys was confined to my bed during bad
attacks. l might say, from time to time,
/ have been in that condition for years.
The urinary organism was affected, urine
being scanty, highly colored. and difficult
In passage. was in bad shape when
got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills, about
which l had heard | have used now
two boxes of them, and the pills have
removed all the pain and trouble. There
was marked improvement right from
the first, and it has continued right
along. Doan's Kidney Pills are the right
thing in the right place"

Min Toxic. though not a child of Chin
csc parents, has been brought up by
them. You can believe the story that
his father was Russian and his
mother a Tartar when you look at
him.
A little Chinese boatwoman took him
from his dying mothers arms and
nursed him with her own, somewhere
near those quarters where there are
English warehouses and the barbarian
comes to traffic in tea and porcelain,
and he starved and played and swan
about with her own, and carly in his
boyhood came to San Francisco. There
he dwelt in Chinatown, and became re-
nowned amongst the showmen of San
Franc.so for his acrobatic feats. To-
night he is engaged to assist in a per-

after him, and ten minutes after is
heard calling from the inside of a
great lacquered box to be let out, and
there he is, indeed, coiled up like a
great serpent. Oh, there is nothing
Min Toxic cannot do, and no one ever
discovers how he does anything.
Now he laughs.

The eyes of the old man glitter. He
gathers up the heap in his claw-like

Then you call for blue bird, Cor q
