great mills and factories. Nathanie!
p Banks was bobbin boy in a Mas

sweet, winsome girl, Mary Palmer, who
afterward became Mrs. Banks. Both
young people were ambitious and en-
ergetic, and, after the mill closed stud
led at the evening schools, tired as
they were. Mrs. Banks has just died,
and the Boston Journal of Commerce
says that she was lady who, start

Walters in Austria are now learn

school in Vienna, where experienced
professors teach them, sltSw .aaxwait at

theoretical and practical. First the
professors tell them what they should
do. then they show them how to do it,
and finally they test them lin order to
see IL they can do it themselves. This
final test is interesting. Four per-

The shorter Dav,

The American Federation of Labor

in which to promote the establishment
of the shorter workday. 1t is adj
dressed to organizers of the Fedora

makes could be carried out with profit
by every one interested In the advance
ment of the wageworkers of America.
After noting that the International
Association of Machinists is about to
inaugurate generally the nine-hour
day throughout that craft, and may
need all the cooperation and moral
support it can command, the circu-
lar continues:
Il would suggest that you place
yourself in direct communication, by
personal visits, etc., with the editors
of your local papers, with public
men, with public speakers, and min
listers of the gospel of all denomina-
tons, and try to impress upon them
the necessity of this movement and the
splendid results that would follow
that is, the economic. social and moral
condition of the workers, their fam-
lies, and the whole people, would un
doubtedly be promoted by the success
of this movement"

HUSBAND AND WIFE.
A Veteran of the Civil War Tells an In
teresting Story.

Seoty'
EFFINGHAM, Ill.,, April 90. (Spe-
cial. -Uriah S. Andrick is now g
years of as. Mr.. Andrick served
through the whole of the Civil War.
He was wounded, three times by ball,
and twice by bayonet.
When he entered the service OF his
country in 1861. he was hale and
hearty, and weighed 1893 pounds. Since
the close OF the War however, Mr..
Andrick has had very bad health.
For fifteen years, he never lay down
in bed for over an hour at time. He
had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew
into Bright's Disease. His heart also,
troubled him very much.
On Oct 18th, 1900, he was weighed,
and weighed only 1902 pounds. being
but shadow of his former self. He
commenced using Dodd's Kidney Pills
on the Goth of last December, and on
Feb. Goth was again weighed, and
weighed LAG pounds. He says:
81 have spent hundreds of dollars
and received no benefit. until on the
Goth of December last, purchased one
box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. am

a hopeless case by everybody, but to-
day am well man. thanks to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
For the last sixteen years my wife
has been in misery with bearing down
pains, pains in the lower part of the
abdomen and other serious ailments.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills were doing for me she COM
menced to use them. She now feels
like another woman. her pains have all
disappeared and her general health is
better than it has been for years.
"She is so taken up with Dodd's
Kidney Pills and what they have done
for us that she has gone to Mr.. Corn
walls Drug Store and bought them for
some of her friends for fear that II
they went themselves they might make
mistake and get something else"
There is something very convincing
in the honest simple story of this old
veteran and his wife.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy. They never
fail.
