BY ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.

SJ5AO-DAY l received letter from mean man
SlS Without giving aught Of reason for the poison
and spleen within him, he nveighed against
the Jews in the most unbrided way, sympathized
with the Russians in their efforts to drive them forth
from that realm, and hoped to the day-this man
did-when the Jews would all be driven out of Amer
lea. Then, after paying graceful tribute to my ge-
MUS hammer thrower, he urged me to turn my
begerent attention to hammerng the Hebrew race.
Not that it had been guilty of any private public
wrongdoing far | could learn; but merly for
luck as it were-nerely because it Hebrew.
1t is with much pleasure furnish herewith to my
correspondent my views on Jews. And do it the
more readily because |, myself, am Danish Saxon,
thoroughbred, and racialy came in the ront-door
and down the middle aisle. Morse, without cross,
would be my breed; and backward run of ten
turies along my ancestral trail would land one in
Norway. Yes indeed I've doubt that no further
astern than 900 years one would find my honored
forbear with forehead showing as fiat slant as
shed roof without enough clothes upon him to flag
a hand car; one would find my nea ancestor, say,
going about clad in sheepskin and club eating his
meat and saving his fire pray to. With such
ancestral race take it, may speak fairly and ia
vorably of the Jews without being charged
having an undue interest
This to my Jewhatng correspondent Bar In

right to remain in this country than the Jew He

to come, he needs ones permission to stay. From
the first he has been patricia true Americana not
in words alone, but in deeds.

not make prosperity any more than the swallow

But to put the Jew in a better light and show his
proper title to the American, let me post my
CORES pondent on detail two of his countrys
history.
Over in Washington is claim pending; it has
been before the congresses of this country for
century 1t has never been paid never will be paid;
this country in the business of it's debts is utterly
and with open eyes dishonest, and never gives up
dollar it by any crook hook cheat it's creditor
out Of The original claim was believe, full four
millions of dollars, and century and quarter Of
interest would, when added, make the whole amount
q robust, broad shouldered sum.
What the origin of this four-mlion-dolar
claim 1t was for money loaned the struggling col
onies in the dark hour of 1776 and the seven years
that followed, wherewith to pay the bills of the
oluton. It all, every dollar, loaned by one Jew,
one Solomon Hyams, of Philadelphia. Other Jews
for the was rich then, as it is rich now-loaned
other money and it is not too much to say that
war of the revolutions to the full extent of half
at least was fought Jew money and Jew-credt,
and that if it hadn't been for the patriotism and
money sacrifices of the Jews Washington couldn't
have kept the armies in the field.
My correspondent needn't take my word Dock
cry or Savers, Cockrell, any other old time
member Of the appropriations commtte can tell him
all about the four million dollar claim due the heirs
of old Solomon Hyams. He read the letters of
Washington of Franklin of Norris attesting it.
The Jews furnished therevoutonary sinews of war to
the tune ofmons upon millions did without secur
ity: did it for liberty; did it without expecting to
get the money back And they never did get it back.
Old Solomon Hyams died pauper. On his death
bed somebody reminded him of the quartet of mil
lions he had sunk for public veal in the revolution

HAVE YOU GOT TROUBLES
OF YOUR OWN?
If Not. Listen to Others Troubles-If You
Have, See II Your Trouble is Like
other Peoples Troubles.

There are some kinds of trouble
that are unavoidable. Then again
there is trouble that is easily avoided
if you know how to do it. Here
is statement of Mrs. NJ.
Langton, of 2O21 Hanna street, Lo-
ganspOrt, Ind. telling of her trouble
and how she got entirely over it. She
saws: Il am well aware everyone has
trouble without listening to mine.
But hope by telling mine l shall in
struct others how to avoid theirs.
For ten years at least | have had
more trouble with my back than can
well be expressed on paper. 1t began
with kidney backaches. | paid little
attention to it at first, but | see now
where | made the mistake. The
trouble increased aud urinary disturb
ances followed. The urine was excess
sive in quantity. highly colored, of
uric acid as to cause a burning sensa-
ton in its passage. Then had sharp,
shooting pains and swelling of the
limbs, which became very painful.
For the past five or six years several
doctors have treated me for nv trou-
BILE without arresting the progress of
the disease. They knew what the
trouble was and pronounced it kidney
complaint. One doctor said he could
do nothing for me and advised me to
make my will When l arrived at
this stage l became anxious to try
any and everything l could hear of,
Kidney Pills and Cures without
being benefited in the least. Some
time ago | read about and tried Nor
rows kid-ne-oids. The recommends
were so high that l procured and used
them strictly according to directions.
After the first box was used | grew
less nervous and Irested well at night,
which is something l had not expert
enced for months. am now on the
third box, and the help has been so
great that l am glad to continue using
them, believing that / have found Il
genuine cure. With all indications
shall soon be well. / desire all my
friends to write to me to learn more
about this wonderful remedy, Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids.
This statement is convincing enough
for the worst skeptic in this city.
