1t was once usual for Highland
shepherds to take their dogs into
church and leave them outside the
pews. Two shepherds at enmity sat on
opposite sides of the aisle one Sunday,
and Don after the sermon began, the
dogs-one a collie and the other not
seemed to enter into their masters
quarrel. The shepherds egged on their
dogs in undertones. and soon there was
a real fight in progress. Most of those
in the immediate neighborhood craned
their necks v the pews to see how
the encounter was coming out, and not
q few were standing up. The min
ister's patience was ultimately ex-
hausted, and so he called to his hear
ers and said,-
"Ah, weel, my briterin, I see We are
more interested in the dog fight than in
my sermon and So I'll close the buike
and I'll bet half a crown on the col.

Couldn,t Wear Shoes.

sumpter, ILL.,. Sept. 9.-Mrs. ]. B.
Flanagan of this place had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three years
she has not been able to wear her shoes.
She had doctorcd all the time, but was
gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr.. ]. j. Dale's drug store
in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife
used five out of the six, before she was
entirely cured. She is now as sound
and well as ever she was, completely
restored to health. and free from any
symptom whatever of Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful %deliverance does not
half express her feelings, and she and
Mr.. Flanagan Ire loud in their praises
Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr.. Dale
for recommending this wonderful rem
edy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such q severe
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her UP. has made them the most
talked of remedy ever known in White
County.

The proud young father, after the
ann of his kind, was telling stories
about the doings Of his first-born.
Many trivial incidents had been relat-

exhausted all their ingenuity in pre-
tending to be interested. Tell them
the story about the penny" suggested
the young llopeful's mother. The proud
father pretended not to hear, when
grew red, and finally shook n violent
negative with his head. ''Then l WILL"
exclaimed the baby's mother. Its too
cute for anything. You know Harold
will be 2 years old next month, and we
are now taking him to church with us.
His father always gives him a penny
to put in the collection plate. Well,
last Sunday the plate was being pass
ed, and some one dropped a coin Oh the
floor. 1t made quite a loud noise, and
Harold turned to me and asked, in a
voice loud enough to be heard all over
the church: Mamma, whose penny are
that: Wasn't it the cutest thing? OF
course he thought that nobody ever
gave more than a penny because that's
all his papa ever gives him." Then
the proud young father blushed more
