PRESIDENT OF PRESIDENTS.
A Distinguished Lady Indeed, Is Mrs.
Mary r.. Poole, of whiting, Ind.

Whiting, Ind, Feb. 4. 1901.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Presidents of the Ladies OF
the Grand Army of the Republic have
an association composed exclusively
of the Presidents of the different State
Associations. This Presidents AssO-
citation chooses President, and to this
very high and distinguished position
Mrs. Mary E. Poole of this place has
been elected. Mrs. Poole is thoroughly
deserving of this great honor. Her
devotion to the interests of the ASSO-
citation is very marked and her expert
ence with the old soldiers of the G. A.
r. is wide. Mrs. Poole is never slow
to take advantage of anything that
may benefit the veterans, and her zeal
has resulted in much that is good to
these grand old men. She writes OF
her experiences: Honor to whom
honor is due, and having seen the nu-
merous cures effected through the use
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, | gladly en-
dorse them as being particularly eff
fective to cure that dreaded disease Of
so many of our old soldiers, Bright
Disease and Kidney Disorders of diff
ferent kinds. Kidney Disease soon
poisons the entire system. and as a re-
suit the vital organs are attacked. and
| have found that no remedy so surely,
completely and quickly finds the weak
spot and heals it as Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Il have used them myself in slight
attacks of biliousness and indigestion.
and usually find that from three to
four pills do the work"
Such evidence from a lady of so
much distinction and experience
should convince any sufferer from Kid
ney Trouble that Dodds Kidney Pills
is the remedy that never fails. soc

But the jury's verdict was the popu-
lar one-"By the visitation OF God"
Five years have passed away.
So many changes have happened to
Temple-Dene and the Templetons that
Lady Jane has come to look back upon
the days when she wore faded silks
and lived a sorely pinched life as the
happiest she has known.
Today she no longer wears her Ia
vorite blue, for Francis Templeton has
gone to his grave, his heart eaten out
by the melancholy nothing would dis
pei.
So Lady Jane wears widows weeds
and has learnt the old lesson that
"contentment Is great gain"
The dainty American bride, so fra
gile and highly strung, never managed
to weather the repeated shocks to her
frail system. Like broken flower she
withered, until decline set in.
In Leila's tender, supporting arms,
her weak hands clinging tight round
Leilas soft throat, GLADLY died peace
fully.
Take care of my Gervis, Leila. You
will do it better than l." with the won
drous intuition of the dying she whis-
pered at the last.
And now that the years have gone
round. Gervis begins to think 1t Is
time Leila was taking care of him.
Between the two there is a perfect
understanding. and by and by their
wedding bells will ring out; for though
sorrow endureth for the night, JOY
is bound to come in the morning."

MunlclpaI Ownership Finding General
Favor Across tho Border.
Woodstock, Ont, Is a city of 10000
inhabitants. While not a large place
1t IS very progressive. Some time ago
the Woodstock Electric Light Com
pany was called to sell its plant to the
city. and after demurring the deal was
effected and the business was passed
over to the municipality. Hereafter
the plant will be run as a city under
taking. Kingston, Ont, with popu-
lation Of 10000, has notified the Kings
ton Light, Heat and Power Company
OF its intention to. proceed in a lawful
manner to arbitrate to acquire the
whole plant. The company's contracts
expire in 1901. The property, valued
at 100000, will probably soon be in
the possession OF the municipal au-
thorities. II Kingston can own its
electric light plant there is no reason
why Bridgeport should not also go
into the same kind of business. The
city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, has been
carrying on its electric light plant very
successfully during the past year.
Consumers are receiving a cheaper and
better service that when a private cor
poration was in control.

One of the kaiser's Games

The royal game of sofia claims the
many-sided German emperor as a
player. 1t somewhat resembles the
game of checkers. Thirty pieces are
used to play, and there are 100 squares
on the table. There are at present on
view in London the actual pieces and
table used by the kaiser. The exhibit,
which is valued at $50 1000. is of deli
cately enameled gold work, and is in

suns, moons and stars surmount the

Potter decided to show the society folk
