FROM DEATHS DOOR.

Hillsdale, ILL.,, April 29th.-Much in.
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in dying condition for several
months with an apparently incurable
Kidney Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case a hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron,
Geneseo, and Davenport, Ia, had at
tended him, and in consultation de-
cided that he could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr.. L. F. Giles, local druggist, as
to last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within few weeks was able to
be up and about, completely cured.
His cure is the talk of the neigh
hood, and is considered nothing short
of miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such
as Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and
Dropsy, yield readily to its remark
able influence. These forms of
Chronic Kidney Disease have hitherto
been considered incurable, and have
baffled all medical skill, and yet. this
new remedy has cured every single
case in which it has been used. in
this neighborhood. The doctors
themselves are amazed at the won
derfui work Dodd's Kidney Pills are
accomplishing in Rock Island County.

BUFFALOES DO NOT FIGHT.
Were Never in Danger from At.
tacks of Wounded Animals.

"Here is something that makes me
mighty tired" said an old Kansan, as
he exhibited a magazine article about
buffalo killing in the early days, re-
ports the Kansas City Journal. "This
writer talks about the danger the
hunter was always in from wounded
bulls that would turn on him and
fight. I never knew a buffalo to turn
and fight in my life. I have heard
yarns about such cases, but never
believed them. I have talked with
hundreds of buffalo hunters and I
never knew one who had been put in
danger by wounded buffalo bull.
And this fellow tells about the num-
Der of hunters who lost their lives
from rattlesnake bite. Did you ever
know positively of a man in Kansas
who died from the bite of rattle
snake? I never did. have known
of dozens who were bit, but never one
who died from the bite. believe that
nine out of ten men will recover from
rattlesnake bite without the use of
any remedy whatever. I had dog
which was bitten scores of times. He
never had any treatment except that
which he gave himself by rubbing the
bitten place in mud and water. When
that dog was bit he would make q
race fsr the nearest creek, and after
padding around there an hour or SO
would come home badly swollen up
but out of danger"
Which reminds us Of a remark
made by Prof. Dyche, the mighty
hunter of the state university. Dyche
has killed bears all over the American
continent, and one day when some one
passed a remark about the danger of
the sport he said: II never had a
wounded bear turn on me to show
fight and I have wounded dozens of
them. Once in the northwest I

DIsoBeDlENT PoLYwOGs.

Two Polywogs went out to play
Upon pleasant summers day;
'We'll have some fun" they seemed to say,
Those youthful Polywogs.
We've long been pent in this poor pond.
And have not seen the world beyond,
And vet of new things we are fond,
If We are PoiywogsY'
And so these jolly little dogs
These giggling, woggling Polywogs
Struck out from their undiscovered logs
Two daring Polywogs.
The rashes quickly they got through,
And then there dawned upon their view
A world beyond, both vast and new.
To these two Polywogs.
A mighty deep before them lay
With lots of room for them to play.
And here they thought they both nigh.
Two happy Polywoss.
They had been told-yes. DER and Ger
Ihey must not venture far from shore,
Or they would meet with troubles sore,
Too great for Polywogs.
But they were wogs that knew no fear,
And heard advice with scorn and leer,
And felt quite wise, though born that year
Conceited Poywogs!
| So each one gave his tail a sweep.
And forward sprang, with gladstone leap.
From shallow water into deep
! These careless Polywogs!
Just then fish went swimming by;
He spied those wogs with his sharp eye,
And said: Those chaps have got to die
III eat those Polywogs!'
One sweep he made with every fin.
Then stretched his mouth and took tn EN- IN
| And so they persisted in their sin
Those foolish Polywogs.
| So oftentimes do foolish boys
| Go out to swim in sinful joys,
But always find that sin destroys
Not only Polywogs,
But other sinners. We are told
| Who sin through drink or love of gold:
They mostly die before they're old,
Like those two r'oiywogs.
Had they obeyed, those two young wogs
Might have grown up to stately frogs,
Enjoying life in their own boys,
NeI died as PolyWogs.
And 80 If boys would grow up men
There are commands, some eight or ten,
That they must follow, now and then,
Or they'll die Polywogs!

THE BURRow1NG OWL.

any prairie dog town. The usual
note of the owl is a gentle poo-oo,
sometimes like the coo Of e dove.
The owls are about ten inches long,
grayish brown profusely spotted with
white, of pretty appearance. They
have the very curious habit, when
they alight on the ground, of bow
ing several times in dignitied man
ner, as nearly like person as could
be expected of bird. When dis
turbed or angry they will bow ex-
citedly or circle about the heads of
the intruders, uttering all the time
weird whistling cries.
The eggs are deposited at the end
of the burrows and lie upon the dirt,
bones and fur which the owls have
left from their feeding. The eggs
are pure white, not so round as most
owls eggs, and there are more OF
them than is usual for owls-as many
as nine in one nest.
Sometimes the baby owls are
brought up from the nest for sun
hath, and they sit in circle around

DOG EARNS HIS BOARD.

indicate that he has natural in
sight into the affairs of men.
He has long been a necessity upon
the farm. In addition to being a pro-
lection to the place, he acts in many
capacities which render his services
invaluable. On hearing a word from
his master he will bound off into the
pasture and drive the cows to the
barn for milking, and in the case of a
Medina county CO., farmer, the dog
pulls the latch string at big gate,
which is arranged to spring open. and
the owner finds his cows in their stalls
without an effort on his part.
A comparatively new use to which
the farm dog is being put in northeast
ern Ohio and western Pennsylvania is
shown by the accompanying illustra-
ton, which demonstrates how dog
runs the churn. The animal shown has
churned the entire product of large
dairy for the last two years. twill be
seen that the principle upon which the
churn works is a simple applica ton of
The old treadmill, and dogs are easily
taught their part of the work. The
common shepherd dog is said to be
the easiest to teach, and, having once
been in the treadmill, he barks and
capers around when preparations are
being made for his new occupation,
thus showing by his actions that he
finds much delight in the work, as do
mis- masters in having him perform it..

Prairie Dogs.

In many parts of our western prai-
ries there are large colonies of the
burrowing owls, that usually occupy
the deserted burrows of the little
marmots called prairie dogs; but the
owls have been known in some cases
to nest in the burrows occupied by the
dogs. Great numbers of birds come
to these deserted towns, and live for
years. They also often inhabit rab-
bit burrows or badger holes far from
