o. o. F., Of this town, came very near

Secretary, Mrs. Julia A. Mallahan.
Mrs. Mallahan caught a severe cold
last winter, and like many Others, fail
ed to recognize the dangerous possibili-
ties until it had settled in her kidneys,
and left her with very severe bearing
down pains and almost constant back
ache 1t almost carried her off Mrs.
Mallahan tells the story this way
Il caught a cold last winter, which I
neglected until it settled in my kidneys,
causing severe bearing-down pains and
almost constant backache. My health
had previously been so good that paid
little attention to these symptoms, I'M
til the disease had gone so far that my
doctor entertained but slight hope of
my recovery.
Fortunately one of our Lodge Men,
bers mentioned Dodds Kidney Pills.
Her description of the cures they had
effected sounded like a fairy tale, but
sent for box, deciding to give them a
trial. / soon found that she had but
half told the story of what they could
do. bless the day 1 first tried them,
and have nothing but the highest
praise for them"
Many very valuable lives have been
saved by the timely use of Dodd's Kid
new Pills and not a few of these have
been in Owosso and other neighboring
Michigan towns. There seems to be no
case of kidney trouble or backache that

TAKING IN Mr.. MOODY.
How His Confidence Was Abused by
the Natives of Bethany.

When d. L. Moody went to Bethany
during his travels in the East he was
very soft-hearted over all the multi
tude of beggars there, not only be-
cause the place is so unusual but be-
cause he was moved by it's beautiful
traditions. He gave quantities of
"backsheesh" and then asked if any
of the children had the names of Mary
and Martha. Yes, indeed, they had.
And that opened his pockets again.
The news of his generosity spread
through the village and new claim
ants came until his visit seemed
likely to result in fight Cor exist
ence. The case was getting des-
perate and he told the dragoman to
call for silence while he made an adj
dress. Then he said:
Il have come 5000 miles to see this
little village of Bethany, 1t was a
place my Master loved to visit, and |
have come to see it because He loved
it. am very glad to meet you all,
but now | want to be alone | have
no more backsheesh, and l bid you
goodbye"
A fine looking boy of 16 replied to
the address. He spoke fuently and
with the grace of an orator. Mr..
Moody was delighted with the begin
ming of his Grafton, but not with its
conclusion.
I'VE are glad to see the gentleman
and his friends who have come so far,
but the gentleman must not think that
his actions are equal to the import
ance of his visit. Six thousand miles
is long way to come, and the gentle
man must have sacrificed much to
make the visit. In consequence it is
natural for us expect that he would be
munificent in backsheesh. This he
has not been, and we now expect that
he will give us great deal more"
Mr.. Moody was so Disguised that he
abandoned the situation entirely and
hurried away with his friends.
81 did think" said he, that boy had
a soul above backsheesh.'
And did you think. too, that some
of the children were named Martha
and Mary?~ he was asked.
Certainly. Why not?"
Nothing; only they were all boys.

French Bakers.

Bakers in France are subject to re-
strictions and regulations undreamed
of in England. In the fortified towns
along the frontier they are bound by
law to have a certain stock of Hour
always on hand in case of emergen-
cies. The bakery not only has to be
kept clean, but the baker has to de.
post with the local authorities Ger
tain sum of money as surety for the
proper conduct of his business. The
law also looks after his weights and
which circumstance places
him in the same position as the Brit
ish baker, but in addition the law reg
ulates the price at which bread can
be sold. Napoleon III. ordered on one
occasion that loaf about equal to our
quarters should be sold for not more
than six-pence, and this at time
when we were paying eightpence and
ninepence.-London Tit-Bits.

Editor and Preacher.

The press and the pulpit have more
charity than all the balance of the
community, and the fact is aptly illus
trated by an exchange as follows:
A preacher once said: Editors dare
not tell the truth. If you did you
could not live. Your newspaper
would be failure" The editor re-
Piled: You are right, and the minis
ter who will at all times tell the truth
about his members, alive or dead. will
not occupy the pulpit more than one
Sunday, and he will find it necessary
to leave town in hurry. The press
and the pulpit go hand in hand with
whitewash and kind words. magnify
ing little virtues into big ones. The
pulpit and the press are a saintmak-
ing partnership" And the minister
went away looking very thoughtful.

THE INVENTORS MOTHER.
Edison Was Greatly Encouraged If
Early Efforts by Loving Parent.

Edison's mother was a woman of
sweet and strong individuality,
equipped with a solid, if unpreten-
tious, education and endowned with
rare abilities as teacher. She was
eminently qualified to deal with the
plastic mind of her son, and it was to
her judicious efforts rather than to
those of his father that Edison owed
that early impetus which gave such
admirable scope and direction to his
dawning powers.
Under her guidance. at the age of
II, period when most boys are in
flaming their imagination and per-
verting their moral sense with trashy
and sensational fiction, Edison, partly
from inclination. partly from over
consciousness, was wading through
such ponderous tones as Burton's
Anatomy of Melancholy" Gibbons
Decline and Fall of the Roman EN-
pire," Hume's History of England
and History of the Reformation"
The inference is justifiable that
through such books as these no boy.

CONNECTS DRAW SALARIES.
Prisoners in Georgia Have Easy
Berths Under the States CHARGE.

6Ni IhS OHNSI TIE OIdIC II1dTSc.
There is a side to convict life in
Georgia comparatively little known to
people generally. but one that is quite
interesting. Some of Georgia's con-
victs draw salaries! 1t sounds strange
that a man convicted of crime against
the State, against his fellow-man,
should be paid for the service he is
rendering as expiation or atonement
for his malicious error. But there are
several men in Georgias convict
camps whom the lessees are glad to
compensate fer their services, though
they are entitled to them for the 500
a year which they pay the State for
their hire.
1t is not, of course. the ordinary,
illiterate and unintelligent convict
who is thus remunerated. He is Of no
more value than the manual labor he
can be made TO do through a plent-
eous supply of stomach fuel and the
urging of the taskmaster. The lessee
gets more than value received even
in this. He gets an able-bodied la
borer at greatly reduced wages. Buc
the intelligent convict-and they ere
comparatively few-is valuable in
other ways. Ii is the experienced

SUGAR FROM ALCOHOL.

Solid to be Better Nutrimert.
The French psychologist Chaveau
has recently been engaged in some
most interesting experiments with a
view of ascertaining the comparative
merits OF sugar and alcohol as nutri-
ment The said experiments were
carried out upon a dog. For As DAYS
it was fed with one pound Of flesh and
half pound of sugar. Although the
animal was made to run fifteen miles
day. it had. at the end of the test
period, increased in weight by one
fifteenth OF its original weight For
the second test the sugar was replac.
eI by alcohol. The dog Immediately
began to lose both in weight and
strength perceptibly. In odrer to
verify the foregoing results, alcohol
and sugar were given in alternative
weeks. The result was always the
same; with sugar the weight in.
creased, with alcohol it decreased

well. he's got a soft berth, even if he
is in the penitentiary."
It is not commonly known, how
ever, that not a few of this class Of
conyicts receive salaries from the
lessees for their services. ard in some
instances when their terms expire
they have been known to have nice
little ca5b balances laid aside. 1t
used to be the practice in the coal
mines to pay each convict so much
per ton for all coal taken out above
the amount required each day, and
sometimes long-term negro convicts
would leave the mines with 5000 or
$500, or more, in their pockets. 1t is
somewhat on the same principle that
intelligent Office men are remunerated
for their services in addition to the
price paid the State for their hire.
There are several such convicts now
in the penitentiary While serving
their sentences they have little need
for cash, and it is generally laid up
against the time when they receive
their freedom.
| A story is told of a convict now
serving in the Georgia Penitentiary
who unfortunately missed a good
thing of this kind, though he may yet
get soft place where he will be paid
salary for his knowledge of books
and accounts. George w Haupt was
sent to the penitentiary from Savan-
nah for ten years, having been con-
victed on several charges of en-
bezzlement. Haupt was one of the
most experienced accountants in Sa-
vannah, and in that capacity COM
manded high salary. The lessees, it
is said, were not aware of his value in
this respect when he was turned over
to the penitentiary authorities. The
prison commission sent him to a min
ng camp at Fargo, in Cinch county,
Wnere ne is still located.
1t was not long after this that,
learning what valuable accountant
Haupt is, the officials of the Chatta-
hoochee Lumber company, in Decatur
county, made application for him.
They offered to furnish a cottage for
himself and his family and to pay him
500 per month during his term in
the penitentiary, if the penitentiary
authorities would assign him to them.
There was some correspondence with
the Fargo people about him, and they
refused to give him up. They state
they had had considerable trouble
with Haupt when he first came to the
camp. Just what the nature of this
trouble was was not stated, though.
! being somewhat high-strung man,
he was no doubt rather obstinate in
his Discrimination to go to work. The
Fargo people had finally got things to
going smoothly, and themselves dis.
covered what a valuable man he was
in office work. The result was a per-
emptory refusal to part with him.
The penitentiary officials did not feel
like taking him away, as they could
do by asserting their authority, and
there he remains.
| There have been several instances
recently where lessees have paid such
convicts $25 or $50 a month, but the
offer of home and 800 a month for
Haupt was something rather unusual.
