A Matter of Faith.

MANY OF THE CLERGY IN MICHIGAN EN-
DoRsE THE LITTLE CoNQUERoR.
Our religious opinions are, as whole,
matter of faith. Whatever denomi-
nation or sect we follow, we pin our faith
on the words and teachings of our Pas
tor. His sincerity is never doubted; that
he thoroughly believes his adopted creed
is unquestioned. The opinions of the
Clergy on any subject carry we'll deserved
weight with all classes of people. Many
reverend gentlemen in Michigan are tes-
tifying for the little conqueror, their
praise is not given lightly and only after
personal experience. Gratitude and a
desire To promote the welfare OF the pub
lie brings forth such testimony as follows:
The Rev. +. A. Smith, of S39 First
street, Kalamazoo, Mich. says: when
/ procured Doan's Kidney Pills | was, at
the time, and had been considerably
troubled with my kidneys. Backache
was quite pronounced, being especially
severe when | sat or stood in a stopped
position for any length of time. Other
symptoms usually attending disordered
kidneys plainly indicated what caused
the difficulty Doan's Kidney Pills cor
rected the annoyance in a very short
time and | have not noticed up to date,

ROMANCE AND SORROW.

The shame and modification the innO-
cent are often com mpelled to suffer becuase
of the misdeeds of the guilty is exemplif-
ed in the case. of Samuel Eakers, the ell
edged cattle thief of Glendive. His OWE
hopes blasted and he fugitive from just
ice with the penitentiary doors standing
open to receive him should he be recH y
tured, there is another who is enduring the
tormen and agony that only heart filled
with love for the erring one can feel.
That other one is most estimable young
lady, the superintendent of public in
struction 70: Dawson county, to whom
Eakers WAS engaged at the time of his
arrest and escape. The date of the ~edd-
ing had been fixed and Eakers had built
a cosy house in which to enstall the bride.
Happiness and contentment seemed to be
awaiting them and they were receiving
the congratulations of admiring friends
who sax in the fate that linked the two
young people q peculiarly happy one. In
a moment all was changed, the prospective
groom became prisoner and the a
fugitive from justice, the woman whose
affections he had won, overwhelmed with
grief and shame, succumbed to the shook
and at last account had so taken hcr
sorrow 10 heart that che was confined to
her bed and was seriously i'll. Romance
and sorrow do not have their only exist
ence in fiction and the drama.-Yellow-

Chinese Money.

OF all the strange Chinese customs in
the matter of currency that reported by
the American consul at Hong Kong Of
employing blocks of silver is most
unique. The silver is cast in the form
of the "sycee," or shoe, and on it is
marked the quality. There is no free
silver coinage there, nor gold either.
In making purchases a piece is cut
off and sold to- the local bank for it's
equivalent in copper "cash." OF this
cash it takes 1900 to equal dollar,
and as almost all transactions are ex-
pressed in cash, you can get an idea Of
