Hillsdale, ILL.,, April 29th.-Much in
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in q dying condition for several
months with an apparently incurable
Kidney Disease.
The kading physicians OF this place
had pronounced his case hopeless

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 a 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 a few weeks was able to
be up and about, completely cured.
Els cure is the talk of the neigh
hood, and is considered nothing short
of miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that

home grounds before rsturning to-
the hotel to look after another
charge.
The big fellow was making his
usual rounds of inspection in the
woods one day when he found an old
veteran who was lying in the snow
in an unconscious condition. He at
tempted to arouse him by pulling at
his garments; failing in this he went,
to the hotel, where he attracted the
attention of the landlord and a num-
Der of veterans by his queer actions.
They followed him to the woods,
where they found the unconscious
man almost frozen. The rescue par
ty picked him up and carried him to
the home hospital, preceded by the
faithful dog, who showed by his ac-
tons that he was grateful to the res
cue party for their assistance and
that he was also an important factor
in the matter.
The dog has positively saved the
lives of four veterans. His actions
are purely from instinct, as he has
never been trained to do the work.
He takes no interest in a civilian, but
devotes himself exclusively to those
who wear the blue uniform of the
government.-Natio Advocate.

A MISCALCULATION.
The Old Doctor Didn't Stop to Con-
slider That His Horse Could
Be Beat.

When there is told a real-thing horse
race story, out of the common. it is
orthodox and traditional to introduce
deacon. This being a true story,
based upon the veritable information
of a breeder and owner in attendance
upon the Blue Ribbon meet. it is oh
ligatory to cut out the deacon, remarks
the Detroit Free Press.
In little Pennsylvania town there
were two doctors. By a iudicious
combination they might have coined
money. but they were rivals. Each
was horse fancier and they pleased
their bucolic constituency by having
one or more entries at the county fair
races. where the local flyers tried con-
ciusions over quarter-of-a-m mile
track; four times around and an
eighth of mile extra before the foam
ing chargers could be halted.
One year the doctors got into a
wrangle over their respective steeds
and reached a point in their how,ing
debate where nothing but money
could talk.
Say, announced the younger doc
tor, who had only been in the COM
munity two years, your horse is a
PAGER, mine trotter. That calls for
time allowance"
"Not from me- shouted the Old doc
tor, who had helped plat the town.
you've been making your cracks that
you have faster critter than have.
Here's a hundred dollars that says you
haven't. and no gait is barred
We'll. I'm not the man to weaken. :"
declared the younger one. "'No gait
barred seems to be in your favor.
Even up by adding that no horse
owned by either of us is barred"
This was done. The old doctor ap-
peared with his famous PAGER and the
young one with what looked like a
compromise between a greyhound and
wild Texas steer. The first score
was good and the doctors got away
amid the widest excitement. The
PAGER settled to his work like clock
The nondescript made few KANGAROO
jumps and was then off with the low.
level leaps that would win DERBY.
The PAGER got the flag and the old
doctor kicked in vain. for "any gait"
went. A year later the old man was
running truck farm and the younger
one was monoDolist.
