FLAGGED IN Time.
Waterman Arthur Bubb, of
Bellaire, Heads the Signal
and Averts What Might Have
Proved a Disaster.

Time and again have the good
people of Bellaire been warned
about the ingoing and outgoing of
trains on more than one level cross
| ing of the c. L. & w. X. R. during
the many years that Mr.. Arthur
Bubb, gate Waterman of Bellaire,
has varied a danger flag for the
said company. Any pedestrian who
was rash enough 10 ignore the
Waterman signals, either met
with an accident or was so badly
scared that the lesson taught made
an impression for life. Perhaps from
being so long accustomed to see his
fellow citizens obey his instructions
Mr.. Bubb was quicker to respond
to the warning given to him by that
inward monitor which never chides
without cause. Be that as it may,
one thing is certaln-if be had not
needed the cautions he would still
be sufferer, and we may safely say
he would continue to suffer. But
Doan's Kidney Pills are never ap-
pealed to to in vain. The sequel
of Mr.. Bulbs experience proves
this.
II have had kidney and urinary
weakness for two and one halt years
but during the past six months was
troubled severely, having a dull,
aching paid across the loins, ex-
tending down into the lower abdo-
men and grain. The secretions
from the kidneys scalded and were
frequent both day and night. When
1 took a Slight cold was in dis
tress every IS minutes. F1attering
accounts of Doan's Kidney Pills
that appeared in the papers induced
me to get box of them at a drug
store. The one box cured me. I
am we'll at present. 1 will be only
too glad to recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills"

THE CARPENTER BIRD.
These Industrious Little Fellows Fly Many
Miles to Secure Their stores.

These Industrious Little Fellows Fly Many
Miles to Secure Their stores.
Down in Mexico there lives a Wood
pecker who stores his nuts and aCorns
in the hollow stalks Of the yuccas and
magueys. These hollow stalks are sep
| arated by the joints into several cav
| tiles, and the sagaCiOuS bird has some
how found this out, and bores a hole
at the upper end Of each joint and an
other at the lower, through which to
extract acorns when wanted. Then it
fills up the stalks solidly and leaves it's
stores there until needed. safe from the
depredations Of any thievish bird or
four footed animal.
The first place in which this curious
habit was observed was on a hill in
the midst of a desert. The hill was COW
cred with yuccas and magueys, but the
| nearest oak trees were thirty miles
away, and so it was calculated, these
| industrious birds had to make flight
of sixty miles for each acorn slowed
thus in the stalks!
An observer of birds remarks:
There are several strange features to
be noticed in these facts: the provi-
dent instinct which prompts this bird
TO lay by stores Of provisions for the
winter, the great distance traversed to
| collect a kind of food so unusual for
its race, and it's seeking in a place so
remote from it's natural abode a store
house so remarkable"
Can instinct alone teach, or have ex-
perience and reason taught these birds
that, far better than the bark Of trees
or crevices in rocks or any other hiding
place are these hidden cavities they
make for themselves with the hollow
stems of distant plants?
This we cannot answer. But we do
know that one of the most remarkable
birds in our country is this California
Woodpecker, and that he is we'll en-
titled to his Mexican name of ell car

A SERIOUS QUESTION.

A kitten went a-walking
One morning in July,
And idly fell attacking
With a great big butterfly,
The kittens tone was airy,
The butterfly would scott:
When there camo along a fairy
Who whislIed his wings right of.
And then-for it is written
Fairies can do such things
Upon the startled kitten
She stuck the yellow wings.
The kitten felt a culver, -.

Then flew down 10 the river
To view her image there.
With fear her heart was smitteH,
And she began to cry,
Am butter-Eittcn?
Or jus. a kitten-hy?"
