A FROLIC AT THE FORD.

Geography horrible, the sweat-we called II that
Bespoke common misery when Billy Signaled Pat;
Two stubby, grmy fingers uplifting on the sly,
Thereat a wink significant distorted Patricks eye.
Then Billy turned to Cummins and Harvey and Depew.
To each in turn displaying the mistic fingers two,
And lastly condescended. while the others winked in
glee,
To show the mystic symbol to the least of ALTO me-
Oh. ecstasy ranseuding what er the future stored,
When Billy babe me join him for frolc at the ford
The hours till noon skunk by as II they knew we wished
them past
1t seemed though they'd never go-they did. of
course, last
And oh. how cool the water was and oh. how sweet
the joy
That filled and thrilled the bosom of each sweaty little
boy.
When he had hung his trousers on the nearest handy
bough,
And shut his lips and held his nose and dove to show

While we had wOOei the cooling stream some enviOus

And tied our shirts and trousers so we couldn't get

Do YOU ALWAYS HONOR
4 Person Who Tells the Truth s-Rock ISL
and People Praise MorrOw's


Someone has said. Truth is strang-
er than fiction" We believe it. We
can write all day about people who
have used Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, and
it seems easy, although they tell of
cures that sound fairy like. But we
know they are the truth. and that is
why it is easy TO write about them,
and still we feel that the story is
strong.
If it were fiction, we would not dare
to tell You that Frederick Ficken, 4
retired farmer, residing at GIG TWEEN
ty-third street, had used Morrow s
Kid-ne-oids, and was now telling his
remedy, and were all the manufac-
turers claim for them. You would
trap US too easily. You would say
why don't you 20 off to California to
get someone to lie about and not
come here where we know Mr.. Ficken.
We don't have to lie for a living.
Kid-ne-oids sell on their own merits
fast enough to make an honest living,
and at the same time we realize we
are doing a noble work for humanity.
Mr.. Ficken says: Il was troubled
with rheumatism in nv back for
about ten years. The pains were so
bad at times that could not straight
en- up, they would draw me over to
one side. l became so bad l had to
give up all work. l used plasters
ard liniments externally and took
medicine internally for it, but moth
ing l could get or do gave me any
relief, until L got Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids at Bahnsen's drug store, which
were recommended to me. l am still
taking the Kid-ne-oids, and have no
doubt but what they will cure me en-
tirely, as 1 am improving rapidly"
Mr.. Ficken is a very grateful man
and will be glad to tell you how much
he was benefited by the use of Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids. Do not confound
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids with any kind
of kidney pills. They are not pills at
all, but yellow tablets, which are put
up in wooden boxes which contain
about enough for two weeks treat
ment. but are never sold i'll bulk.
Morrow's Liver-LaX are very small,
red granules and will cure constipa-
ton. Both of these remedies are for
sale by all first-class druggists, or will
be mailed by the manufacturers on re-
ceipt of price. Kid-ne-oids, 80 cents
a box; Liver-Lax, % cents a box.

The Greatest Discovery Yet.

w. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill.
Chief" says: I'VE won't keep
house without DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption, coughs and
colds. Experimental with many
others, but never got the true rem
edy until we used DR.. Kings New
Discovery. No other remedy can
take its place in our home, as in it we
have a certain and sure cure for
coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc. -
1t is idle to experiment with other
remedies, even if they are urged on
you as just as good as DR.. Kings
New Discovery. They are not as
good, because this remedy has a rec
ord of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

Noble was the worst bounded human on

Will wrote him a threatening letter
ordering him never to appear on the

to see his face again, that his father
had said he should have none of his
estate unless he stole it, and he said
the same. \ letter from Mobiles mother

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY is nothing if

he goes properly into elaborate details

not to, by word or intimation, include

of laws belongs TO the congressional
branch of the government, the Presi-
