UTILIZING THE GOUT.
1t Has Power to SOothe the Man
With q Cracked Shoe.


every now and then" said a man
OF moderate means, something hap
pens to remind me that 1 am only
novice in the art of life. For instance.
my shoes We're wearing out, and in one
of them there was an ugly crack in the
top. If there is one thing more dis
turbing to me than another, it is the
sight of a shoe on one of my feet with
4 hole in the top. But l had not the
money wherewith to buy another pair,
and, though it may seem ridiculous, L
couldn't very well spare the quarter
that it would cost for patch, to say
nothing of the fact that patched shoe
is little less unsightly in my eyes than
one with a hole in it.
walking, in this predicament, one
day, I met a friend, whose means, so
far as 1 knew, were little, if any, great
er than my own. He now had in the
top of one of his trinity BACKED shoes
a carefully cut round hole. Since had
last seen him he had apparently pros
pered enough to have got the govt, a
fact on which ventured to comment.
why he said, you can get precise
" the same kind of govt with a pair
of shears And then he smiled. He
always was blithe and gay, no matter
what betided.
"Well, when 1 got home I enlarged
that hole in the top of my shoe to the
size and responsibility of govt open
ing, and now, when / go down in the
morning on the elevated, l don't hold
that foot with the broken shoe curled
under the seat, back of the other ankle,
as though I had a curious habit that
way, but place it boldly out in front,
and read the paper with the air of n
man who is going down town with his
surplus interest money to take little
fier in stocks"-Chicago Inter Ocean.

All But the Name Abandoned Already.


Since publication recently of the
design accepted for the United States
building at the Paris exposition the
state department has been overwhelm-
ed with letters from all parts of the
country in which the writer's protest
against the use of the letter V for the
letter U in the words Limited States
of America, " which is to be inscribed
over the main portal of the building.
The stand is taken that the old-fashion-
ed letter u would be much more APP
propriate and becoming to the
vaunted simplicity of the American
republic than would be the substitu-
tion of the letter V, though the latter
might be considered more artistic. A
deluge of these protests were address,
ed to the president at Plattsburg and
to a NUM- Der of them the reply was re
turned that the question had been refer
red to Commissioner.Ge Peck and
that the decision would rest with him.
In the light of latent American his
tory, as shaped by the Hanna-McKin-
ley school of craftsmanship. it would
not be surprising if the name of the
republic was changed, not only in the
substitution, of n letter in the familiar
abbreviation but indeed in reality. 1t
will be recalled that St. Louis philos-
opher recently, and in all sincerity,
suggested the remaining of this coun-

Some One Had to Stay.

The story below is from Ell Diario, an
Argentine newspaper published in
Spanish. The anecdote is told of pris-
on in n provincial town in Argentina:
can employee, whose duty it was to
inspect them, arrived late at night al
one of them and asked a ragged
'gaucho' who opened the door where
the chief of police was.
1.-the chief, SIR he answered, lives
at his farm, three or four leagues
Off He seldom comes
".And the second of police|
"'The second has not come for some
time, sir The poor man has his wife
ILL.,
land the officer of the guard|
:" He has been invited to a dance
"'And the gendarmesY
"'The gendarmes, sir, finish their
duty at 6 p M and don't return till
next day
"But this is scandal! There is no
body here to explain things. And you I?
Who are you?
81 am the prisoner, sir
The whole thing reads like an Incl
dent from a comic opera. But it is a
perfectly literal translation from the
paper mentioned.

YOU KNOW 1T Is TRUE.
That Is, If It Is Told To You BY a
Neighbor.
These Statements are Made by Persons
Whom We Are willing to Believe.


Whom We Are willing to Believe.
If you respect a person who tells
you something, you believe him. You
may not know the person whose tes-
timony we publish in this article, but
you can easily consult him because we
give you his name and address and he
lives right here in Illinois. That is
the way we do. we give you the names
of people living near at home who
have used Morrow's Kid-ne-oids for
backache and kidney troubles. be-
cause we want you to consult these
people about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and
the good they have received from
them.
WI. Guymon, Springfield. ILL.,, who
was secretary for the United Mine
Workers for five years, and is known
by nearly every mine worker in the
state has used Morrow's Kin-ne-oids,
and this is what he says:
Il have been a sufferer for five
years with my kindeys; had severe
WAYS worse when l stopped over, and
at times it was so bad that / could
scarcely straighten up. l grew very
nervous and could not sleep for hours
if l awoke; my appetite also failed me
and did not relish my meals. was
recommended to use Kid-ne-oids and
they proved to be the very remedy L
required; today am entirely cured of
all that backache, nervousness and
sleeplessness. All due to Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids.
Kid-ne-oids are put up in wooden
boxes which contain enough for about
two weeks treatment and sell at so
cents a box at M. F. Bahnsen's drug
store.

TALKING SHOP.
A Sentiment Concerning Which There
Is Considerable Humbug.

Is Considerable Humbug.
eff there Is one thing that makes me
n little wearier than another" said an
amateur cynic, lit is to hear a man
boast that he never talks shop I met
a fairly eminent actor at a little gath
ering not long ago, and when some
pleasant reference was made he drew
himself up and said. You will pardon
me, am sure, but, really, 1 make it a
rule never to talk shop That remark
convinced two or three thick headed
hearers that he was singular'y free
from vanity, but it convinced the rest
of us that he was n double dyed don
key and n poseur of the purest ray
serene.
Every right minded man likes to
talk shop and does SO whenever he
gets a chance. 1t is that which makes
class clubs almost invariably n sue
cess. The members are all interested
in the same thing and can talk shop ad
lib. without getting called down. One
of the redecming features of matri-
mony is the fact that n man secures a
helpless victim to whom he can talk
shop every day of the year.
when q chap is travelling as in a
strange city, what joy it is to bump
up against somebody in ones same
line of business, 1t is like meeting q
long lost brotheri have often thought
that the chief objection to being a
hangman is that there are so few per-
sons with whom n fellow could chat
about the craft.
"And yet it has grown to be fash
ion among people of eminence in all
the professions to affect n reluctance
to discuss the precise thing in which
each is most interested. They don't
like to talk shop, Taught Nobody

ton except a burglar in police sta
