Scotch phrase: continuously and continu-
ally "neckled" by the manager at re-

displays of stupidity on the stage, was
informed that near relative of his had

Chronicle. Before leaving he determined
to take his revenge on Mansfield for thu

LIEUT.. MABEL G. HUNT.

A Bright Salvation Army Lassie, Who
knows How to Keep Her Corps in
Good Health.
OGDEN, Utah, Jan. ii. 19O1.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Pacific Coast Division Of the
Salvation Army, whose noble work in
theinterests of fallen humanity has done
so much for this western country, has
its headquarters in this city. One of
the brightest and most enthusiastic
workers is Lieut. Miss Mabel Clarice
Hunt. Every one knows how these de-
voted people parade the streets day or
night exposing themselves to all kinds
Of weather, that no opportunity may
be lost Of rescuins some poor unfortun-
ate from sin and suffering. In some
cases, their recklessness in thus expos
ing themselves has been commented
upon as almost suicidal. Their answer
to such criticisms invariably is their
unfailing faith in the Divine injunction
to do right and fear not" Lieut.. Hunt
explains one of the means she employs
to keep her ''Soldiers' in good health
as follows:
II have found Dodd's Kidney Pills of
great value in cases of Kidney and
Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted
from severe colds. Several of our lads
and lassies have been repeatedly ex-
posed to cold weather and rain, and
have spoken for hours out of doors,
often with wet feet and chilled to the
marrow. AS q consequence Of this ex-
posture, Pulmonary Trouble, Rheu-
matism and Kidney Disorders often en-
sue. In such cases, l always advise
Dodd's Kidney Pills. for I have noticed
better results, quicker relief, and more
lasting benefit from the use of Dodd' 9
Kidney Pills in such cases, than from
all other medicines l know Of com.
bined. They cleanse the blood, regu-
late the system, and destroy disease"
A medicine which can do what Lieut..
Hunt says so positively Dodd's Kidney
Pills do is surely worth the attention OF
all who suffer with any form of Kidney
Trouble, Rheumatism, or Blood Dis

Employees Encouraged to Think,

One Of the most thoughtful methods in
the development of sympathy between
employer and employed has been the sys-
tenn of prizes for suggestions, which has
resulted in leading everyone to seek to as
Slst and to give his best thought This is
accomplished usually by placing in the
various departments an autographs reg
lister or small box, upon which one may
write his suggestion, or in which he may
place the idea or complaint which he de-
:sires to present. Each man and woman
is encouraged to think independently, and
to watch for improvement in his own
work and that Of others. Series Of prizes
are offered, ranging usually from $40 to
500 each, covering a period varying in
different companies from one month to
six months. These prizes are usually open
to all except heads Of departments and

or the Rochester Democrat. The morn
ing after his most recent operation in St.
Luke's hospital, the comedian was quite
certain he was for this earth but a few
hours more. He expressed this view to
the neat-capped nurse with such despair
ing vehemence that she feared, if he were
not speedily rid Of the idea, he might
work himself into a fever which would
delay his recovery day or two. There
fore, she humored him by calling the sur
geOn.

crafty the actor, ne began feeling him
over.
did you ever hear of anybody near
death with both legs and feet as warm as
yours?'
YES" answered Reed, bracing up
enough to get twinkle into his eye.
Who were they?'

DR.. Llewellyn Jordan, Medical Examiner
of U. s. Treasury Department, graduate Of

years at West Point, has the following to
say of Peruna: p.
'tAL0W me 10 express my gratitude
TO you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth q vast change
and now consider myself q we'll man
after months of suffering: Fellow suf-
krers, Peruna will cure y0u."
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at the
depressed nerve centers. This is what Pc
runa does. Peruna Immediately invigorates
the nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh disap-
pears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is not guess nor an experiment.

THE LAST CONVERSATION.

A. L. Mason. a lawyer and a
personal friend of General Harris
son, in telling OF his last call on the
ex>president, few days before his
last illness, said:
"We conversed on variety OF
subjects. l had just finished read
ing his article on the Boer war and
rallied him by saying that when he
should go abroad the next time he
would not be an accessible guest at
the English court. He answered
with great quickness: 4 can go to
see Kruger He talked for time
about the Presbyterian creed. He
was the chairman of the commit
tee on revision. He took up the
Cuban question. His point on this
was that we had placed ourselves
in a position before the world where
our sincerity in dealing with Cuba
could justly be questioned. He
was emphasizing his former state
ment that the moral law bound the
honor OF nations as we'll rs oi indi-
viduais.
"His references to the Philips
pines and Porto Rican matter ex-
pressed great surprise that the SUI
preme court Of the United States
had not yet handed down its de-
cision.
Later the conversation turned
on trusts. He said he had very

trusts and believed tiae tha prob

lem was one which was fairly
within the reach Of legislation that
would commend itself to the CONS

quoted at length, from memory,
from the articles of Incorporation OF
the steel trust, and expressed a be
lief that a corporation should not be
admitted to do business in the state
where it was organized and was an
actual and bona fide corporation Of
that state, not only in law but in
fact.
"He remarked that many OF the
great trust combinations organized
under the laws of New Jersey trans
sacted no business in that state and
were not intended to transact any
business there. OF the general con-
versation these are the things that
come to my memory"
