NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suf.
fer as much from distressing kidney
bladder troubles as the men. The
womb is situated back of and very
close to The bladder, and for that rea-
son any distress, disease or inconven-
fence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder, or urinary passages is often,
by mistake, attributed TO female
weakness or womb trouble of some
sort.
The error is easily made and may
be as easily avoided oy setting urine
aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi.
ment OF settling is evidence that your
kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in
the back, pass water too frequently,
or scanty supply, with smarting or
bnrning-these are also convincing
proofs of kidney trouble. Ii you have

CATCHING coNDoRs,
A Price Upon the Ferocious Bird
I'm Chilli.

in Chill.
Chilli offers bounty for condor heads,
and an American in that country has
made from $500 to $500 month killing
this bird of prey. One month he got a
warrant for $1,000. Condors steal
sheep and calves. He writes, says the
Chicago Chronicle:
"How did we capture these ferocious
birds? Our first job every morning be-
fore we had even a peep of sunlight
over the mountains was to carry the
carcass of dead animal-a horse or a
cow-out on the plain, where it could
easily be seen from all points of the
compass. We sometimes made a car
cass do service for fortnight but it
required strong stomach and indiffer-
ence to stencil. We moved about every
few days from one locality to another,
and never put the rotting body twice in
the same place, because of the extreme
suspiciousness of an average condor.
Generally we would move three or four
miles every "a hours.
AFTER we had placed our bait carcass
we set up our tents and the canvas flies
that concealed us and our horses from
the view of the condors. Breakfastw was
no sooner over than we could see from
the peepholes in the canvas that hid us
several condors coming down through
the clouds from the mountain crest
straight toward our bait. When the
birds had eaten heartily we sprang to
our horses, which stood near, bridled
and saddled, ready for the chase. When
condor has gorged itself with food it
cannot rise without running to give it.
self momentum. An expert lassoer
could send his rope over condor's head
and so manage it that it was slipped
down until it touched the shoulders of
the wings before it would be frightened
on the bird. Then the rider would turn
the horse about and lead the chase him
self, forcing the unwilling bird along
until tumbled, spent, to the ground,
and was dragged to death at the horses
heels"

DEFlED HER WISH.

How Birch Seed in - German Graveyard
Grew and Burst Open a Woman's Tomb.
There is in an old churchyard on one
Of the principal avenues of Hanover,
Germany, an ancient grave which has
met with a somewhat peculiar fate.
One hundred and thirteen years ago it
was dug to hold all that remained NOR
tai of Henriette Julianne Caroline Won
Ruling. The tradition of Hanover is
that Frau Won Ruling was beautiful
woman in her day, and that, fearing by
some chance her grave might be opened
and her moldering corpse disclosed to
view, she took precautions to keep the
seal of her tomb unbroken.
At the back of the massive monu-
ment, cut deep into the base of the
pedestal, are these words: "This grave,
purchased in perpetuity, shall to the
end of time never be opened"
By a strange fate in the earth that,
was shoveled over her coffin fell a
birch seed. AS time passed on shoot
pushed itself out between the stones Of
the massive monument, and then came
q struggle between the growing wood
and the ponderous slabs. "A century
passed and the tree won. Bit by bit it
split and burst open the great monu-
ment and upheaved the heavy base
stones, exposing to view the grave that
was always to be concealed and kept
tightly closed.

A cunning red fox broke from a crate

newsboys and ~ throng of oilers who
gave chase and captured the animal
alive and returned it to captivity with
the chances of liberty still further re-
moved. In his bold dash for trees and
grass Reynard traversed the streets and
alleys bounded by Madison and South
Water and La Sale and Dearborn
streets.
Reynard had start of 20 feet when
he turned into the alley behind the
Sherman house. "Scotty" and "Craps,"
the leaders of the newsboys, gave the
signal for the chase. 1t looked as if the
fox would be captured in less than a
minute. He was cornered in the "blind''
alley and had to run the gauntlet in or
der to reach Clark street again.
The fleeing animal had plenty OF
room in Lake street and promised to
get over to Union park in five minutes.
He made the mistake of turning into
