SOMEBODY'S BIRTHDAY.

This Is somebody's birthday,
Just as sure as fate;
Some little boy Is six years old,
Some little girl is eight,
Some little boy is three to-day,
Some little girl thirteen,
Some little twins are exactly two
Two apiece, mean.
Some one is eating his birthday cake
And laughing over the plums;
Some one is counting her birthday dolls
On all her fingers and thumbs.
Some one is bouncing his birthday ball
Or winding her birthday watch,
Some one is not too wise or tall
For birthday butter-scotch.
Think of the beautiful birthday books.
Think of the birthday cheer,
Think of the birthday happiness
Every day in the year!
Every day in the year, my dear,
Every day we're alive,
Some happy child is one or two
Or three or four or five.

house it was learned that Bundy had
left that morning with his basket as
usual, and was seen going up the side
of the mountain and hurrying on un'
til he was lost to view among tho
trees.
The mystery was now intensified,
but no suspicion of wrongdoing had
ever attached to Bundy's good name,
and his master would not believe him
guilty of unfaithfulness in this in
stance. A new basket was procured,
the daily trips were resumed and
Bundy's punctual regularity liz
creased the belief in his innocence,
The days and weeks passed on and
the mystery still remained as deep
as ever.
Perhaps as long as two months after
the incident described one day late
in the afternoon Bundy was seen APP
preaching the house carrying the
missing basket in his mouth. Slowly
walking up to the kitchen door he
dropped the basket and then quickly
ran away, hiding himself in the shad-
ows under the big porch. The lunch
ecn was found intact, just as it had
been placed in the basket on the
morning it was prepared for his mas

On the same day. up on the noun
tain side, just little back from the
path leading to the weighing Office, a
hole in the ground was found and the
pile of leaves and earth freshly heapsd

ing basket.
Since the discovery, Mr.. Anthony
loves the devoted dog more than ever,
for he insists that Bundy has proved
he has conscience and that he obeys
it, following its promptings even at
the risk of disgrace and punishment.

A DOCTOR THIS TIME.

Portland, May Cdr. Z. A. Rose,
practicing physician, formerly of
Yates Center, Kan, was on what
everyone supposed was his death bed.
He had Diabetes, and six of his brother.
doctors were in attendance and con-
sultation at his bedside. They had
done everything that medical skin
could suggest to save his life, but they
were at last reluctantly forced to tell
him that he must prepare for death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she insisted that
as last resort, he be given treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the lido
turned in his favor. His life was saved,
and he is hale and hearty to-day.
This case and it's cure has amazed
the physicians, and is the sensation OF
the hour. 1t is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured by this great discovery in medi-
cine, the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as rheumatism, Sciatica,
Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe-
male Weakness disappear before it,
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy,
which have always been regarded as
incurable, are yielding just as easily.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
seding all other treatments for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has it's origin in the
Kidneys, the use of this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal

The origin of baseball-"our national

first club organized to play it was in

this club. like the one first organized to
promote rowing, was called "the
Knickcrbocker Club" After 1851 other
amateur baseball clubs began to organ
ize, including the Atlantic, Mutual
Union, etc. In 1857 a convention oi
delegates from sixteen clubs in and
around New York and Brooklyn was
held. About ten years later, at the an
nual convention OF the National Asso-

clubs from seventeen States and the
District of Columbia were represented.
