passed through by scores OF well
known citizens. This resident of
Akron only re-echoes the sentiments
expressed daily in this newspaper by
local citizens.

pally when I got home after walking
much during the day and the ter
rlble backaches prevented me from
sleeping. procured Doan's Kidney
Pills from Lamparter IL Co.'S drug
store and they gave me immediate
relief, being effective in regulating
the kidney secretions as well as re-
moving the backache and nervous
depression incidental to inactive kid
news. I derived so much positive
benefit from Doan's Kidneys Pills
that I am only too pleased to recon-
mend them for kidney trouble.

An American In Porto Rico.

The most amusing sights grow out Of
the attempts of the numerous Ameri-
cans who drop into San Juan to navi-
gate among the native Porto Ricans.
AS went into the breakfast room Of
the hotel loud voiced American was
vociferating wildly, while crowd
gathered round him. AS l approached
he shook both fists at the crowd and
yelled Boiled eggs" If he had said
"eggs" merely, somebody might have
understood.
The "boiled eggs" spoken as one
word, foored everybody. and sat
down at distance to take in the scene.
He cursed them up hill and down as q
pack of jackasses and besought them
to tell him where they had gone to
school.
''Kool, kool. yes" cried the head
waiter. Il know kool." And he immedi-
ately brought a plate of cracked ice.
The American exploded, but l stepped

his utter failure to drive any sense into

Hi. Little Contribution.

One of the many stories told Of the
late Dr. Wallace, NJ. P, is to the effect
that when the editor Of local paper
in the north asked him ''if he would
kindly furnish an article on a light
theological topic" Wallace responded
with one bearing the title "The Rela-
tions Between the Presbyterian Church
and Modern Thought" When set up
the article made 40 columns, and it be-
came a puzzle to editor and printer
how to get rid of it. They began by
using it in pieces, and whenever the
printer said to the editor, We've got
no leader" the reply was, "Eh. mon,
Just sneck off about a column and
quarter O. Wallace" In this way the
contribution was used, first working
down from the beginning, then up
ward from the end.-London Academy

ported by iron girders, which stretch
from wall to wall, SO that no pillars or

SHELBURNF, Vt, Oct. 23.-One OF
the pleasing events in connection with
Admiral Dewey's return to his native
Green Mountain State was his visit to
shelburne Farms, the magnificent estate
of DR.. w. Seward Webb, and the pros
pect that the admiral will be supplied
with a high stepping, standard bred
team from these famous stables gives
added interest to the place. The farms
comprise tract of nearly 1000 acres,
admirably situated on the eastern shores
of Lake Champlain. The estate is lsid
out like park, much attention being
paid to tree culture, which is in charge
of a forestry expert It possesses great
diversity of scenery, which, with the
embellishments Of the landscape gar
dener's 8 art, makes it one of the most
beautiful country seats in the United
States. Behind it rise the Green noun
tains, while in front lies the lake and
beyond that the Adirondacks
The estate is about three-quarters OF
a mile from Shelburne station and Is
reached by well kept road which skirts
its eastern boundary. At the entrance
the road sweeps through fine avenue
of stately trees whose foliage meets
overhead, affording in summer de
lightful shade from the sun, in winter
a grateful shelter from the winds. DR.
Webb's superb summer house, th'
homes of the employees and numerou
farm buildings make good sized vii
