ONE WORD IN TIME
Is Better Than Two Afterwards, A
Chance to Profit by Boston
Mans Experience.
(From the Boston Herald }

1t is a strange thing how people will put
away an opportunity until too late; it's only
little things that go to make up our every day
existence; the trouble is we don't pay sufficient
attention to them. "A wink to the wise may
be sufficient" but sometimes we don't get that
wink, and we are not all wise. Now, for in
stance: Backache is a little thing. Some.
times it comes after hard days work, or a
slight cold. 1t will pass off, you say; it's only
the result of overtaxing my back. This is
where you are wrong. 1t isn't the fault of
straining has interfered With their delicate t
mechanism. You call it backache, but it
really is kidney ache. If the kidneys are not
relieved, chronic disorders set in, and this is
where the little thing should not be passed
over. A Boston man has learned to appre-
ciate what delay means. We refer to j. II.
This is how he speaks about it: Some eight
years ago had bad fall which rendered my
back lame and sore. l was not surprised at
this, as my accident was bad one but as
time went on my back did not appear to inn
prove and | wondered at it. l never seemed
stoop over or lift anything heavy. l suffered
with dull headaches; colds, drafts, and even
dampness had immediate effect on my back.
l was always looking for remedy for my ills.
At last found it. l got box of Doan's
Kidney Pills at Bradbury's drug store on
mended and began their use at once. Their
action was like unto magic, and day by day
the pain began to lessen in my back. l am
glad to give the public the benefit of my ex-
perience. Doan's Kidney Pills are excellent
medicine, and strike right at the point of kid
ney troubles
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers, price 80 cents, mailed by Foster-Mil-
burn Co.. Buffalo, N. Y, sole agents for the
United States.

C0uldn I Let Go.

A business man accustomed to hard
work for many years usually finds idle

actively in the harness as rule do not
like to retire, although retirement in

worker. A successful Chicegoan, who
has reached sixty years, said to me
the other day: 81 am going to quit.

Her husband rested on the single stra "

shoulder, his tangled hair falling over
his brow. The little Margherita lay,
breathing softly, on a fold of her
mothers dress. The mans feet were
wrapped in his wife's petticoat, which
she had taken off on purpose. Very
gently she stroked the damp hair back
from his brow, grooming over him the

Third Rails and TroIIeys.

The conveyance of electricity for
motive purposes by means of a third
rail placed midway between the rails
upon which the cars run has, as most
of our readers know. been converted
from a dream into fact. The New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road is now running cars by electric
ity between Hartford and New Brit
ain, a distance of ten miles, by means
of third-rail road. This road is a
continuation of an experiment first
brought to a successful issue at Nam
tasket beach. The ten mile run is
made without stops in fifteen minutes,
whereas it takes the frequently stop
ping trolley car nearly fifty minutes
to cover the same distance.
Colonel Heft, chief OF the electrical
department OF this company, has been
comparing the two systems OF power
transmission very carefully and close
ly, and he unhesitatingly pronounces
the third-rail plan superior. In the
overhead system there is considera BILE

First-Thc public ownership of all rail-
roads, telegraph, telephones and means
of transportation, communication, water
works, gas, electric plants and all other
entities.
Seoond-The public ownership of all
gold, silver. copper, lead, coal, iron and
all other mines: also all oil and gas
wells.
Third-Reduction of the hours of labor
in proportion to the progress OF protec-
tion.
Fourth-The undertaking Of public
works and improvements for the en-
ployment of the unemployed, TIE public
credit to be utilized for that purpose.
Fifth--An useful inventions to be free
to all, the inventor to be remunerated by
the public.

Seventh-The adoption of the initiative
and the referendum, the imperative man

articles of creed save the imperative

Minister Woodford,s Instructions.

The forecasts of administration policy
presented by Walter Wellman have
hitherto been so accurate that we are
structions which Gneeral Woodford has
received for the guidance of his labors
as minister to Spain. According to Mr
Wellman Minister Woodford '1s to con-
vince the Spanish statesmen that mani
fest destiny is working for the separa-
tion of Cuba from Spain; that this is
so strong a movement that no power
on earth can stay it; that the president
himself is powerless to avert interfer-
ence on the part of the United States.
He is to impress upon the minds of the
Madrid leaders that If they take their
stand uuon the continuance of Cuba
as full colony of Spain they will only
invite sacrifice of pride, of the lives of
their soldiers and of money, because
the American people are determined
that Cuba shalt be free, and this de-
termination amounts to a mandate
which must he obeyed."
To be more specific, General Wood
ford, according to this authority, is in
structed to impress upon the public men
at Madrid these three vital points:
First, the United States is not actuated
by any unfriendly feeling toward
Spain. Second. the United States does
not desire to take advantage Of Spaiu's
troubles with her colony to bring about
the annexation of Cuba to this coun-
try. Third, but unless Spain will her
self make a move toward meeting the
inevitable, towards giving Cuba free
dom, the United States will be compel
led to interfere, and in the case of in
! tervention annexation might naturally
| follow
Such a programme would unquestion-
! ably meet with approval in the United
! States, but whether it can be success
! fully negotiated at Madrid without
| bloodshed or violence is another
! question. There can be no doubt
that the opportunity before our
new minister 10 the Spanish
capital is brilliant one, al
opportunity for adroit diplomacy such
as has not been presented in our for
eign service in a number Of years. Yet
we are skeptical as to the prospect that
this Cuban problem can be solved
peacefully. In it are all the elements OF
tragedy.
