Senator Mason malicious dig. Mr..
Mason has some of "the milk of human

does not hesitate to insult and lie about
him. The particular instance of fun

CAN any good reason be given why
Cuba should pay to Spain $500, 000, 900
or one doilar-for her freedom? The
American colonies paid to Great Britain
no money consideration for the great
and rich territory, extending from the
Atlantic coast to the Mississippi, when
under the treaty Of Paris they became
@ free and independent nation. Nor
should the United States government
now seek to compel Cuba to buy her
freedom. If the eternal itness Of
thiags were observed, Spain lweuld be
compelled to disgorge some Of the hun
dreds of millions she has wrung from
that unhappy island.

TOOK HIS ADVICE.
A VETERINARY SURGEON OF BATTLE CREEK
TELLS ABOUT IT.

How many times in life few words of
good advice, coming from friend whom
he can depend upon, will save us hours,
perhaps months of misery. Dr. Oliver
Guiteaux, veterinary surgeon of Battle
Creek, well known man there as well
as in Kalamazoo and Marshall, speaks of
his experience with the little conqueror
and the result of a few timely words of
advice he says:
IL was standing in Anberg & Murphy's
drug store in Battle Creek when friend
of mine came in and asked for box of
kidney pills. After he had made his
purchase | said quietly to him, "You
have made mistake in buying those"
He replied How is that?" said, "Doan's
Kidney Pills are worth all the others put
together" AS he wanted my reasons for
thinking so / told him that my kidneys
had bothered me for years, that | had
nearly every symptom to he found where
the kidneys are affected, that / had used
remedy after remedy and that until
used Doan's Kidney Pills l might have
taken as many spoonsfull of water, in
fact, | think some of them hurt me. A
couple of weeks after this | met him on
the streets, when he said, doc, Doan's
Kidney Pills are just as you represented
and after using the box about which we
had conversation in the drug store
was az bad as ever. | then procured
Doans and stuck to their treatment un-
til they cured me-"
Doans Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers. Mailed by Foster Milburn Co,

Celebrating the Fourth.

One Of the men who signed the Dec
laration of Independence is said to have
expressed the desire that he might rise
from his grave hundred years later to
witness the manner in which posterity
observed the Fourth of July. If his
wish could have been gratified, the ven
cradle patriot would have found de-
cided change in the manner of the cele-
bration, but none in the feeling which
inspired it. Posterity, too, would un-
doubtedly have turned the tables on
him, eagerly questioning him in turn
as to the celebrations in his day, but
even without his aid its questions can
be answered. Exchange.
