than Mr. Charles Keys, the local school
teacher, and his estimable wife. and
mother-in- law. For a long time Mrs.
Keys has been in i'll health. Recently,
however, she has found a cure for her
ailments in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
81 cannot speak too highly of Dodds
Kidney Pills, or of what they have
done for me-" said Mrs. Keys.
My life was miserable, my back al
ways ached, also my head. l was trou-
bled with Neuralgia in the head and
face and suffered extreme pain, but
thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills, all those
aches and pains have vanished like the
morning dew, and it now seems that
life is worth living. l consider Dodd's
Kidney Pills a God-send to suffering
humanity. They may rightly be named
the Elixir of Youth.
While speaking of my own case and
the wonderful benefit | have received,
| might also add that my mother, who
Is now an old lady of "A years and who
lives with me, has been troubled more
or less with aches and pains, as is nat
ural with one of her advanced age.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills had done for me she commenced
to use them herself, and she says that
they have done her more good than
any other medicine she has ever tried.
This testimony is given in the hope
that Others who may be afflicted as we
were may see and read it, and be bene-
flied by it."
What Mrs. Keys states in her letter
can be verified w reference to any of
her many friends in this neighborhood.
Dodds Kidney Pills have already a
wonderful reputation in Todd County.
Nothing has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

VANISHING CAYUSE.
And Now the Jack RABBIT is Goinq
Too.

And Now the Jack RABBIT is Going
Too.
Twenty years ago, or even ten or
five years since, the mustang and the
jack rabbit were two of the common
est pests in the west. On every plain
and mesa, in each spot where a par
ticle of green feed found livelihood,
beneath the shelter of a dusty sage
brush or thorned mesquite, the little
hardy, shaggy cayuse and the long
cared, alert and rapid jack rabbit
browSed in peace and quietude A
rider across the arid wilds of the great
southwest could count, if he desired,
hundreds and thousands of the wiry,
wild horses, and from every bush jack
hurried away from the path of the
traveller, gray streak, scurrying over
the sand and gracefully sailing over
obstucting brush-the kangaroos of
America.
Now not mustang can be found in
a days travel, or a weeks, and only
an infrequent jack breaks in on the
monotony of a desert ride. Ten years
ago 100000 mustangs were scattered
over the ranges in Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona. AS the bicycle grew in
favor the horse decreased in value.
and the mustang became an outcast
and an outlaw. He intruded on the
cattle ranges and was shot for his
pains, the cowmen intent on the saw
ing of feed for their stock. He ven
tured amid the sheep focks and the
coyotes Toasted on his carcass. Every
where he was a worthless reprobate.
an interloper, and valuable only as
target for the revolver of the vaquero.
By inbreeding the species grew small
er, and the mustangs finish was per-
ceivable. The extremely low price
of high-grade eastern horses put the
cayuse out of service, and his only
haven of refuge was among the In
dians. The red men harbored him.
fed him and tanned him, and today on
the reservations can be found the last
of his race, disappearing as did the
buffalo, but from a different cause.
His determination was rapid and
somewhat of a mystery. Many stock
men attribute it merely to degenera-
ton, but closer observers assert that
many thousands of the ponies of the
desert were surreptitiously converted
into canned beef, and are even now be-
ing served over eastern tables and
army messes as a select product of tho
cattle range. AS to that other pest,
the jack rabbit his extinction is only a
matter of no great length of time.
Civilization is crowding him out, and
the aborigine is slaughtering him,
and between two fires he cannot last

MUZZlEO DUCKS.
Not Because They Might Bite, But to
Silence Their Quacking.

Not Because They Might Bite, But to
Silence Their Quacking.
A baggage man on the Santa Fe
who rams into Kansas City from out
in the western part of Kansas has lost
lots of sleep. 1t is doubtful if he can
ever catch up with it, He leaves
Hutchinson at night and reaches Kan
sas City in the morning. Nearly every
night he brings in his car two or three
coops of live domestic ducks. During
the night, when he has 20 baggage to
deliver at small stations, it has been
his habit and privilege to lie down on
an improvised couch and doze. With
the advent of the ducks the doing
stopped. The almost constant quack-
ing of the ducks, who could not under
stand their strange environment
would not permit of sleep.
For many nights as he lay awake he
planned relief He thought of strangl-
ing the ducks or chloroforming them.
But neither expedient seemed good.
One night bright idea came to him.
After he had put it into execution the
ducks were silent.
The next night he had t~o coops or
unusually vociferous ducks. AS soon
as it came time for sleep he wrenched
a slat from one OF the coops, reached
in and pulled out a duck. From his
pocket he took small rubber band,
which he slipped over the ducks bill
just back Of the nostrils. The duck
tried to quack, but the rubber band,
while it stretched a little, would not
permit the duck to open its bill far
enough to use its tongue. Only a
murmur came from it. One by one
the ducks were muzzled, and the bag
gage man rested comfortably.
The commission men were surprised
next morning when they received a lot
of ducks with rubber bands around
their bills. and when the bands were
removed the shouts Of protest from
the ducks were deafening.-Kansa

Tattooed Women.

So far has the craze for Japanese
things affected some women with
much leisure time upon their hands
that they are having odd little de-
signs worked upon their arms and
shoulders in faint delicate tints. An
English dancer began this fashion
with butterfly on her upper arm and
il became rage in London to have
some design OF the sort done on the
flesh. Old-fashioned tattooing was
done crudely with a needle, which
often infiamed and irritated the skin.

CUDAHY THREATENED If HE
DOES NOT WITHDRAW REWARD,

Omaha. Dec. BE. A. Cudahy. the
millionaire packer, has received ii sec
ond communication from the men who
kidnapped his son. This time, as for
merly. the letter contains IA threat. and
says in substance that unless he with
draws his offer of $25.OOO reward for
the arrest and conviction Of each of the
three bandits they will kidnap another
of his children
The letter refers to the failure of the
police to get anything like tangible
clue as to the identity of the kidnap-
elS. SCOTS mt the idea of Pat Groves
being one of them. mentions the ease
with which the first job was pulled
on. and concludes by saying that if
MIR. Cudahy is as wise as he showed
himself in the first instance he will
comply with the request and with
draw the rewards at once.
The letter is written with pen and
ink. on the same kind of yellow paper
as the first. and evidently by the same
person. 1t was found by a servant of
the Cudahy household early on the
morning of Thursday, December 9th.
Some one called up the house by tele-
phone and asked if Mr.. Cudahy was in.
The servant answered that he was not.
We'll. came the voice over the tele-
phone. you can go out in the front
yard and you'n find a letter there near
the gate. 1t is addressed to Mr.. Cuda-
hy. See that it's delivered to him per-
sonally, and to no one else"
The servant went out at once and
found letter. 1t WAS in plain white
envelope and was addressed:
