He WON'T TAKE
THE CHANCES.

Here is where Gus Miller who re-
sides at 643 south E street shows his
good sense. 1t takes time to do any
thing well. Anything worth doing at
all is worth doing well. "Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids have done me a wonderful
sight of good" said Mr.. Miller, but
shall not stop just because l am free
from all existing sort of trouble just
now. l am determined to keep on
With them until am sure I have the
old trouble entirely blotted out"
Kid-ne-oids help everyone so quickly
that they labor under a false impress
sion that they are cured. when the fact
Is they are only relieved. We always
try to impress on everyone the necessi
ty of continuing with them until they
are dead sure they are cured. Here is
what Mr.. Miller said: Il have been
troubled for some time with my kid
neys, say three years at least. | suf-
fered with pain in tho small of my
back, highly colored urine and at times
excessive. | was nervous and could
not sleep we'll nights and got up feeling
languid and miserable and felt unfit for
work. Then l went to a doctor who
treated me, prououncing nv trouble
kidney complaint, but got no relief
from him. When Kid-ne-oids were
advertised at Luken's drug store l got
aud tried them. | have been wonder
fully relieved, but | will not take any
chances, and shall keep right on with
them. for feel certain have found a
cure"
He is right, and we only wish more
people would follow Mr.. Miller's
tracks.

DEPEW BEAT A GAMBLER.
Won $500 From a Card Sharp on an
Ocean Steamer.

Won $500 From "a Card sharp on an
Ocean Steamer.
No less man than Chauncey Depew
fell into the bands of one of the most
noted of the transatlantic card sfarps
ON a voyage which he made TO England
about seven years ago Mr.. Depew
smiles beatificalIy even yet when he
reflects upon how he won f100 from
Tom McGarrahan, who died in aff1ueDce
three years ago. after having followed
the steamers" for many years McGar-
rahan was introduced to Mr.. Depew by
one of the latter's intimate chums and
fellow voyagers. The latter, who was
and still is one of the elderly wags Of
New York, knew all about McGarrahan,
and so did lot of the other friends Of
Mr.. Depew on board. These friends of
the great Chauucey who knew about
McGarrahan and his record got together
and made a pool that they would get
the gambler and the great nominator
together at game of baccarat- Some
of them bet that the thing couldn't be
done, while others paid their money the
opposite way The gambler McGarrahan
wasn't informed of the scheme, but he
and given an opportunity to follow his
natural bent McGarrahan was pol
ished. middle aged Irishman, Uni
versity OF Dublin honor man, as he took
occasion to prove several times for the
benefit of douEters, and he charmed the
eloquent Chauncey by his wit and
wealth of information in no time. Nc
Cara han did business with a mum Der
of gullibles during the first part of the
voyage, but he manifested no DISPOSE
ton to engage his new friend, Depew,
in a game Of cards. and the men who
had bet that he would were worried.
On the third day out, however. the
gambler. finding business a bit dull,
finally invited Mr.. Depew to join him
in a little game of baccarat. Mr.. Depew
hesitated and consulted with his con-
science for a moment, but the IrishInan
was persuasive.
II have not hitherto played cards
quite so publicly" said DR.. Depew,
"but, as don't suppose 1 am any bet
ter than my neighbors-well. just a
hand or two"
The two men sat down at one of the
tables, and all of Mr.. Depew's friends
round to see how he made out. Mr..
Depew won $500 from the Irish gam
bier within two hours. Then one of
the stewards informed him that his
ward, who was taking the voyage with
him, was i'll in her stateroom, and Mr..
Depew hastily Withdrew with his win
nings and was in attendance upon the
young woman for the remainder of the
voyage.
'.Depew," said one of his friends
who had been in the scheme to get the
orator at a card table with professional
gambler. lido you know who that man
was from whom you won a nice little
bundle of So notes few days ago."
"A Mr.. McGarrahan-a very clever
Irishman, was the reply.
Mr.. Depew was informed who "Mr.
McGarrahan" was.

The lad was only about four feet high,
but he had a coonsl1in cap and a pair of
rawhide boots which looked as if they
had been made to order for a giant, says
the Washington Star. The man who was
touring through that neighborhood, on
government business bent, stopped his
horse at the log house to make some in
quiries IS to the roads. He introduced the
conversation with the patronizing inquiry

The boy looked up at him with stern
gravity and answered:
Doctor Hawkins"

After some moments of mental ealcula-
ton, the boy replied:

Are there any more distinguished peo-

stranger.
"Well, dunno as they're so nation dis

Leader. ! have noticed that you have

Bidwell Boys was only a railroad clerk
on a moderate salary, but he was hand
some young fellow; ne moved in good So
ciety; he stood wel with his employers,
ard he was rising.
he drummed upon the crown of his hat
for a moment, stood first on one foot and
then on the other, and finally replied:
"3ut your daughter, MIR. Nj ggleson, is"
STOP sirr the Old man exclaimed
Must 1 tell you in plain words that you

daughter to marry under any circum-
stances? When my daughter maIries /
hope she viii have sense enough to choose
a man who is considerably higher in the
world then you are. Oh know that you
would tell me you love each other and all
that, but bosh! She may think she loves
you-what of it? She isn't old enough to
know her own mind. Now don't bother me
any more, and don't come TO my house
again You and my daughter must cease
being friends. Good morning. I'm busy"
III your daughter thinks she loves me, .
Mr.. Boggs replied with considerable asper-
ICY, Il don't know it. She certainly has
never limited anything of the kind to me,
and I didn't come here 10 talk to you
about matrimopy."
Mr.. Miggleson took off his glasses and
stared at the young man.
What I wished to say" continued Bid
well Boggs, was that your daughter
spoke TO me the other day about going
East to spend the holidays, and she sug-
gested that l might perhaps get pass for
her. I've got 1t, but of course, If you are
opposed to our friendship, I shall have to

Mr. Muggleson sat and thought for a
minute Then he walked over 10 the re
volving bookcase, gave it q savage kick,
and returned TO his work, murtering things
that cannot be printed.

Not to Be won by TnGx.

A large, aorid woman sat in a West Side
car yesterday, holding a little boy in her
lap, says the Cleveland Leader.
Next to her was a pleasant-looking,
middle-aged man, who seemed to take a
great interest in the child. He screwed
up his features for the little fellows bene-
fit, winked at him, and made wonderful
motions with his hands The mother knew
that something was going on, but she paid
no attention.
Finally the boy became restless, and at
length began to whine.
Then the man who had been playing
with him pulled a paper bag out of his
pocket. and, gently tapping the mother on
the arm said:
Madam may 1 give your little boy a
piece of candy? He is such dear little
fellow and reminds me of the child l had
--once."
The fiorid lady looked at him sharply
for moment, and then replied:
You can give him The candy if you
want to, but you needn't think no poiit-
ical sharper is goin' to git me on his side
with his taffy."
The pleasant-looking man passed over
the piece of candy for which the child
was reaching, and then settled back and
became thoughtful.

settllng the Roy,s Career.

An OLD Dutchman had beautiful boy, of
whom he was very proud, and he decided
to find out the bent of his mind, says the
Boston Traveller. He adopted a very novel
method by which to test him. He slipped
into the little fellows room one morning
and placed on his table Bible, a bottle
of whisky, and a silver dollar.
Now" said he wen dot boy comes in,
eff he dakes dot dollar, he's goin' to be a
beesniz man; eff he dakes dot Bible he'll
be preacher; eff lie dakes dot whisky, he's
no goot-hes goin TO be a drunkart," and
he hid behind the door to see which his
son would choose.
In came the boy whistiing. He ran up to
the table and picked up the dollar and
put it in his pocket; he picked up the Bible
and put it under his arm, then he snatch
ed up the bottle of whisky ana took two
or three drinks and went out smackng mis-
lips. The old Dutchman poked his head out
from behind the door and exclaimed
Mine gracious-he's going to be a boil
tician.''
