Jones of Burdett. and one of the most
popular ladies in Hodgeman County
has been a martyr to headache for
years. 1t has made her life continual
misery to her. She suffered pains IN
the small of the back, and had every
symptom of Kidney and Urinary Trou-

Today she is as well as any lady in
the state.
This remarkable change was due en-
tirely to a remedy recently introduced
here. It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills
and many people claim it to be an in
fallibie cure To- Kidney Diseases

Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid

dose, she grew better. In a week, heI
headaches and other pains had gone
and she had left behind her all her
illness and days of misery.
A medicine that can do for any one

Unfortunately for an invalid with
the terrible affection called nerves,
Rudd Street was a regular nest OF
boys. They were boys everywhere on
1t. You ran against boys when you
went east, and boys ran against you
when you went west. BOYS sprang up
in the most unexpected places. The
houses seemed to be running over
with boys. And really, there was at
least one boy-and on an average two
or three-in every house on Meredith's
side, except in the Crosspatch Mans
house. Oh, dear me, no, there weren't
any boys there!
On the other side of the street you
had to skip the "middlest" house and
Miss Quilhot and Miss Eromathea's-
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 a
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
| Crosspatch Mans house, he heard
voices distinctly issuing from an open
| window. He couldn't help hearing, 1t
was so quiet in the street. Perhaps ii

1.-THE sahib cannot bear IT, a gentle
soothing voice was saying, but Mere
dith recognized the indignation mixed
with the pity in it. THE sahib will

Then came Meredith's 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

had sounded, too. It made him sorry
for the crasspatch Man-sorrier than
he had ever been before.

aloud. tits goin' to make him sick,
OF course-that's what he said to the
turban-man. An he was a little chap
once, an his voice was kind an tired

Then Meredith went home and
perched himself up on the banister
post in the hall, to think That was
where he always thought things-Sig
things, you know. This was, oh my,
such big thing!
I'm cap'n,' unused Meredith, knit
ting his little fair brows. 81 can say,

course he used to bang things an
make noises. l don't think he sound
ed much like Crosspatch Man."
In little while, after 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 captain may, to his men.l
The next day the city and all Amer
ica 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 Hon. Joel r. Poinsett, natiTs
Of South Carolina, and one Of her
most gifted sons, during the latter part
of the administration of John Quincy
Adams, it will be remembered, repre-
sented the United States at the capital
OF Mexico, which was then much dis
tracted by internal discussions. While
Mr.. Poinsett resided there, the city
was captured by one of the contending
factions, and he and his family in-
CURED no small degree Of personal
danger from the violence of the SOL
diers, by whom they were suspected
of affording concealment to certain OBJ
noxious individuals. In the height OF
the notification controversy after his
return, in an address delivered to the
people of Charleston, the following elo-
Quent passage occurs:
Wherever 1 have been, have been
proud Of being citizen of this great
republic, and, in the remotest corners
of the earth. have walked erect and
secure under that banner which our
opponents would tear down and tram
pie under foot. I was in Mexico when
that city was taken by assault. The
house Of the American ambassador was
then, as it ought to be, the refuge OF
the distressed and prosecuted; it was
pointed out to the Infatuated soldiers
as a place filed with their enemies
They rushed to the attack. Ny only
defense was the flag of my country,
and it was flung out at the instant that
hundreds OF muskets were leVeIed at
us. Mr.. Mason and myself placed
| ourselves beneath its waving folds.
| We did not blench. for we felt strong
| in the protecting arm of this mighty
republic. We told them that the flag
| that waved over us was the banner OF
| that nation to whose example they
| owed their liberty, and to whose pro-
| lection they were indebted for their
safety. The scene changed as by en-
| chantment, and the men who were on
the point Of attacking my house and
menacing the inhabitants, cheered the
flag of this country, and placed senti-
| ne-s to protect it from outrage. Eel
| loW-citiZens, in such a moment as that
| would it have been any protection to
| me and mine to have proclaimed my
self Carolinian? Should have been
here to tell you this tale, if 1 had hung
out the Palmetto and the single star!
| Be assured that to be respected abroad
we must maintain our place in the
| Unioni"
