OF III Elm street, who says:
ut Is nearly year ago that my back
commenced to trouble me with a pain
across my kidneys. 1t would come on
me and stay two or three days and then
go away, but each new attack was worse
and lasted longer. This kept up until
last winter when made up my mind
to do something and / got Doan's Kid

The Maine Speaks.

For all the glory of my pride and strength,
For all the fame I've known, the seas I've sailed,
Only the blackened irons shattered length
Bears witness-for the promise that has failed.
No more for me the thunders of the fight
No more for me to feel the great guns roar
And yet, tho shorn of all my hope and might,
My day of triumph's near, my triumph's near
Perforce deserted for little time,
bear the knocking or the foe alone.
These braggarts, gloating DER a futile crime.
Who soon must reap he harvest they have sown
watch the city's fortresses prepare,
And In their haste see their lurking fear;
For all their boasts, there's panic In the air
My day of trumphs near, my triumph's near.
The open sea is hidden from my sight,
But yet know the feet is gathering there,
My comrades, stripped, and eager for the fight.
The Great Republics seuth hounds, from their
lair.
And when the ships come fighting up the bay
They'll find me waiting Harki Is that a

Many Of the black and white silk
mulls, silk-dotted batistes, and figured
organdie muslins, are made with cir
cular skirt, and trimmed with countless
narrow ruches, made of black mousse
line de sole or black satin ribbon. la
many cases these ruches are put on to
outline an apron overskirt, long or
short, round, or deeply pointed. The
skirt clings to the figure on the front
and sides, flares slightly as ii nears the
hem, and is very full just at the back.
The waists are usually round, with yoke
tops, and with fullness below in soft,
straight folds. The collar, little should
er epaulettes, and front, are edged with
the ruching.

Kidney Troubles Ended
DEATH FROM KIDNEY DISEASES A
THING OF THE PAST.
John Morrow Has Produced in Morrows
Kidneoids an Infallible Cure for all
Disorders of Those Organs.

The progress of medical science and its APP
plications have so far advanced during the
century, the most eminent specialists are of the
opinion that thirty years from now will lind no
disease incurable. This being so, and we have
no reason to dispute it, as all experience and
thought demonstrates the feasibility OF such
progress in medicine, we are verging upon
revelation that will show us, if not really as
tonish, the true revelation OF all bodily organ
isms to each other. All medical discoveries,
however, cannot conquer DEATH but they will
give the assurance that, if every one takes adj
vantage of the means to heal diseases, old age
will be the only thing that nature can use to
remove us from our present existence.
Among those who have made progress in
medicine, no one will stand out more, promi-
nently than that renowned chemist, John Nor
row, of Springfield, Ohio, the discoyerer of
Morrow's Kidneoids, the only remedy that will
cure all diseases of the kidneys-recent or long
standing, acute or chronic.
Pains in the back or loins, sick headache, UNI
easiness of the stomach, chilliness, loss of
strength and energy, etc., are some OF the first
symptoms of kidney trouble. Morrow's Kid.
neoids, taken at the very first, will give al
most instant relief If the ailment is allowed
to gain ground of course it will require a
longer treatment with Kidneoids Morrow's
Kidneoids will not work miracles. but they
will cure beyond shadow of doubt all kidney
disorders and make the kidneys sound and
useful as they were when in their original
perfect health
AS long as the world stands and mankind is
amenable to natures laws and suffers from
disease : seemingly his birthright Morrow's
Kidneoids will hold a pre-eminent place in
Materia Medica Not even Antitoxin, the
remarkable cure for diphtheria, has so great a
hold upon grateful public as Morrow's Kid
neods.
Morrow's K'dneoids are now on sale every
where at 80 cents box or six boxes for $3.50.
Kidneoids are always put up in yellow tablet

SELECTED POETRY,
Excursion Days.

The picnic days have come again,
The merrest of them all,
When gentle maids and gentlemen
Are fan to go and loll
Around beneath the trees
Where caterpillars fall,
And enjoy the gentle breeze,
And love and firt and frolc
And mix up in scenes bucolic,
And accumulate the trademarks Of the merry hmm
blebees.
The glad excursion days are here,
When trains are loaded down
With people who but once year
Can get away from town
The happy boy in duck
And the maid In fluffy gown,
Taking chances on II cir luck.
Run the risk of being battered
out of shape or getting scattered
Der the landscape when the freight train or the
open switch 10 struck.
oh, once again, oh, once again
The season is at hand,
The merry, merry season when
Folks yearn to quit the land,
When rowboats are to let,
And funny people stand
Up in them and forget
And dance around like asses,
While about a minute passes
And then the whole kaboodle are as usual, upset,
cleveland Leader.

Three Kisses.

When first kissed you, dear
The moons bright glory Knocked the sun;
And moonsl why every star was one;
All men were good and brave and Just,
All women fair, and fair to trust,
All happiness was thrall to me,
And all the earth was Already,
When first kissed you, dear
When last kissed you, dear.
/ scorned all being-save the worm,
To be with you little term.
The stars had burned to cinders all,
The sky was nothing but pail
God was not God, but clumsy knave,
All earth was but your open grave,
When last kissed YOU, dear.
When next kiss you, dear,
1t may be aeons hence. and you
Impalpable as Heavens blue;
1t may be soon, 1t may be here,
1t may be on some distant sphere;
But though an atom or a soul,
Unstable dust or perfect whole
Though nodding violet be you
And drop of morning dew;
Though suns may fade and earth may end,
Together we shall meet and blend,
And in that bler ding there shall be
The Universe for you and me
And shall kiss you dear.
