the yacht act sluggishly She slipped
through the water at an amazingly good
rate Of speed under the influence OF her
great main sails and light sails. The
water was smooth but even when pressed
to speed Of nine knots the boat made
a very slight wave at the bow and had
an absolutely clean wake

mated Society of Railway Servants for
10000 pounds sterling damages incurred as
a result of the strike of 1900. These suits
will be strenuously defended, but .neir

Mr.. Mckay had been suffering fol-

which recently threatened to end hi.
days. His limbs were SO filled with
pain that he could not sleep. He was
very bad.
Just then, someone suggested new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills-whict
has been much advertised recently, as
cure for Bright's Disease, Diabetes
Dropsy, Rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr.. Mckay had used few
doses, he commenced to improve. His
pain all left him, and he is almost as
well as ever. He says Dodd's Kidney
Pills are worth much more than they
cost. They are certainly getting a
great reputation in Missouri, and
many very startling cures are being
reported.
