It's the daily work of the little con-
queror.

Lifting the burdens from helpless backs.
Bringing sunshine to many q home.

The public are learning fast.
Learning to appreciate merit
Learning to distinguish between claims

Home proof is the best proof.
Doan's Kidney Pills are Endorsed by
Portland people.
Read what citizen says:
Mrs. B. G. Willis, of 161 Lincoln ST.,
says: 1.-THE genuine merits of Doan's Pills
induce me to recommend them to others.
For many years l had spells of trouble
from my kidneys. At such times my
back ached across the loins and it was
from the kidneys and my feet and limbs
bloated or pulled up, In the spring of
1896 was in pretty bad shape and my
husband got me Doan's Kidney Pills at
H. H. Hay & Sons drug store at the
junction of Free and Middle streets.
They did just exactly as they are repre-
sented to do. The backache left me and
the urinary difficulty disappeared. From
my experience l can't help but speak
glowingly of Doan Kidney Pills for such
ailments"
Sold by all dealers-price so cents.

HAD PLAYED The GAME

He Could Not Fool Jonesey with ms
Trick.
Three young men were seated at y
table in Market street restaurant. One
of them drew from his pocket and laid
upon the table silver dollar, says the
Philadelphia Record. Beside it he
placed visiting card, with a round
hole about half inch in diameter
pierced through its center. Said he:
"See the fat, white dollar? See the little
hole in the card? Bet you the cigars l
can push the big dollar through the
little hole" "Tll go YOU" said one Of
his companions; but, remember, you
arc to push that dollar through that
hole without charging the hole

OF the feat. Laying the dollar fat on the
table, he held the card on edge just be-

lengthy, cadaverous young fellow, with
a vacuous expression, drifted into the
vacant place at the table. "Jonesey,"
said the loser of the cigars. there's a
big dollar and here's a little round hole
IN a card. Bet you can put the dollar
through the hole Just as II is-loser TO
pay all four Of our checks" Done"
said Jonesey. The other proceeded to
repeat the action of the first trickster.
Hold on" drawled Jonesey, languidly,

through the hole. didn't bet you
couldn't push it through the perfora-
ton. You see, dear boy, I've been up
against the game hitherto"

bare spaces of stone or wood; when
they are in place, however, they prove
torment TO the eye. In the matter of
interior finish the same rule holds good.
