Rockbridge, Mo-, June 24th:-The
neighborhood and particularly the
members of Rockbridge Lodge, No.
435, A. F. & A. NJ, are feeling very
much pleased over the recovery Of Mr..
Ambrose Mckay, a prominent citizen
and an honored member of the Mason
ic Fraternity.
Mr.. Mckay had been suffering for
years with Diabetes and Rheumatism.
which recently threatened to end his
days. His limbs were so filled with
pain that he could not sleep. He was
very bad.
Just then, someone suggested a new
remedy-Dodds Kidney Pills-which
has been much advertised recently. as
a cure for Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
Dropsy, Rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr.. Mckay had used few
doses he commenced to improve. His
pain all left him, and he is almost as
well as ever. He says Dodd's Kidney
Pills are worth much more than they
cost. They are certainly getting great
reputation in Missouri, and many very
startling cures are being reported.

The Best of 1t
A Juvenile Sketch
for
Independence Day

The Crosspatch Man was sick again,
and this time it must be pretty bad,
for all the morning Meredith had been
watching the servants spread straw
before the house and muffle the big.
shiny deorbell.
Poor mani" mamma said, pitingly.
''He is sick so often!"
''But he's a Crosspatch Mani" NUT
tered Meredith stiffiy. Then he re-
pented and looked as shamefaced as a
very little boy with a very round, dim
pied face could look. I'm so sorry
he's very SICK" he said slowly. 81
s'pose it hurts even Crosspatch Men"
Mamma did not notice. She was
having her little noon gossip" with
papa, and they were still talking about
their invalid neighbor.
1T isn't quite so bad as 1t seems.
you know" papa was saying. HE al
ways has the straw laid down and
things mufIled when he has one of
his worse nervous attacks. 1t doesn't
mean all that 1t does in most cases.
He is terribly afflicted by noise at al
most any time
Noise! | should think SOL" That
was from Meredith, who pricked up
his ears at the word. Didn't he know
how the Crosspatch Man felt bout a
noise? Didn't he belong to the Rudd
Street Second? Wasn't he captain?
And oh, my, the times he'd seen the
Crosspatch Man a-scowling and a
Tuning when they marched past his
window!
but Fourth of July will be terri
bic day to him-poor mani" went on
mammals gentle voice. That made
Meredith start little. He had been
thinking about Fourth O. July, too.
(Did he think of much of anything
else nowadays?) He had been going
over in his mind all the glorious pro-
gram of the day. For the Rudd Street
Second was going to celebrate in a
worthy manner. They were going to
even Guido themselves this year-and
hadn't they had the proud honor of
being the noisest street in the city for
two Fourth o. Julys a-running? Let
'em just wait till they heard this
Fourth o. July!
1t was three days off. That would
give the Crosspatch Man time to have
the straw taken up and the bell UNI
muffled, for his worst times" never
lasted more than two or three days.
'Then he'll have to cotton up his
ears" unused Meredith, philosophic-
ally, watching the big foreign servant
that wore a turban go back and forth
past the Crosspatch Mans window
The house Meredith lived in and the
Crosspatch Mans house were quite
close together, so it was easy to watch
things.

Crosspatch Mans house, he heard
voices distinctly issuing from an open
window He couldn't help hearing, it
was so quiet in the street. Perhaps it
was the ''lull before the storm"
THE sahib cannot bear it." gentle
soothing voice was saying. but Mere
dith recognized the indignation mixed
with the pity in it. "The sahib will
be again sick"
Then came Merediths establishment,
for the Crosspatch Mans voice was
answering, and it was quite calm and
gentle; and it said:
"Of course l shall be sick again,
HariiTve made all my plans to perish.
But what can you expect? The little
chaps must have their Fourth o. July
l was a little chap myself-once. Shut
the window ,Hari. There's suspicion
of draught."
Meredith stood still in sheer amaze
ment, and watched the turban-man
close the window. He was little
chap himself once, the Crosspatch
Man was! And how kind his voice
had sounded, too. 1t made hiS. sorry
for the crasspatch Man-sorrier than
he had ever been before.
Hes a-dreadin' it like sixty. He's
'spectin' to perish" Meredith said
aloud. "It's goin' to make him sick,
of course-that's what he said to the
turban-man. An he was little chap
once, an his voice was kind an tired
out"
Then Meredith went home and
perched himself up on the banister
post in the hall, to think. That was
where he always thought things-big
things, you know. This was, oh my,
such big thingl
I'm cap'n,' unused Meredith, knit
ting his little fair brows. 81 can say,
Go, an thou ghost" like the man in
the Bible; but they'll be dreadful
dis'pointed, the Rudd Street Seconds
will be. Still-well, he sick an he
had kind spot in his voice, an he
used to be little chap too, SO of
course he used to bang things an,
make noises. | don't think he sound
ed much like a Crosspatch Man"
In a little while, after a little more
tough thinking, Meredith slipped
down and out of the door, up the
street. He got together the Rudd
Street Seconds and made a little
speech, as a captain may, to his men,
The next day the city and all Amer
lea celebrated Fourth o. July, and
Rudd Street was famous again, but
this time for being the very quietest
street in all the city! There were just
as many boys in it, too, as ever.
The Crosspatch Mans white, ner-
vous face smoothed and Gained as the
day wore on, and at last 1t actually
smiled in a gentle way, as IL he was
thinking about something pleasant.
And the captain of the Rudd Street
Seconds and his brave men, drilling
and popping and banging in a distant
street, were happy, too.-Annie Ham
ilton Donnell.

oh, yes, and the minister's house. OF
which Miss Quilhot and Miss Eroma-
thea were old maids, and the minister
oh, no, he wasn't an old maid, but
you couldn't expect him to have boys
in the house, for how could he ever
write his sermons?
So it was, as l said, an unfortunate
street to ha7, NERVES" on. And the
Crosspatch Man had SO many!
The three days between soon went
away, and it was the night-ths very
night-before it! There were only
few hours more, for, of course, you
didn't have to wait till the sun rose on
Fourth of July.
Meredith had drilled the Rudd
Street Second for the last time and
dispersed his men. He was on his
way home to supper. Going by the

OF Engravor's SKILL
The new 81 bill issued by the Domin.
ion OF Canada promises to become pop
ular. for artistically II is a MASTER
piece of the engraver's skill. On It's
face 1t bears fiattering picture of the
lock on the canal at Sault Ste. Marie,
an engineering work purely American.
This vignette Is regarded as a delicate
compliment to the United States. A
Canadian paper, commenting on the
circumstance, asks: who would travel
by the Canadian canal after the Can
adam government gave such a certif-
cate as to the superiority of the Amer
lean lock? II is true. our own canal
is a grand work, one of the wonedrs
OF engineering science, but the gov
eminent fancies the one on the other
side OF the river more. AS these "a notes
pass from hand to hand the wistful
gaze Of those who part with them will
rest on the American lock-the gate
way through which the government
would direct their travels. Since they
came into Office the Canadian ministers
have tried to forget their old disparag-
ing language about our canals, and
have lately spoken very favorably OF
these. But money talks. A picture of
our Sault canal or of some other great
Canadian work or scene should oc-
cupy the place given up to the Ameri-
can canal. This foreign canal lock de-
picted on our 81 bill is humiliation
to us. That picture is record OF
laundering or something worse that
will never be forgotten. Specimens of
these 81 bills will be preserved where
ever there is a collection of monetary
curiosities. The people of Sault Ste.
Marie are deeply offended at the gov
eminent for its selection of the Amer
lean canal as the object most worthy
of depletion"

The gold ring was the only thing
