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 new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pflls-which
have been much advertised recently, az
a cure for Bright's Disease; Diabetes,
Dropsy, Rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr.. Mckay had used a few box
es he commenced to improve. His pain
all left him, and he is almost as well an
ever. He says Dodd's Kidney pills are
worth much more than they cost. They
are certainly getting a great reputa-
ton in Missouri, and many veryssart-
ling 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 muffIe the big,
shiny doorbell.
"Poor mani" mamma said, pitingly.
''He is sick so often!"
But he's Crosspatch Mani" NUT
tered Meredith stiff1y. 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. II
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 it seems,
you know" papa was saying. Gle al
ways has the straw laid down and
things muffled when he has one Of
his worse nervous attacks. It doesn't
mean all that it does in most cases.
He is terribly afflicted by noise at all
most any time
"Noise! l 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
BILE 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
worthy manner. They were going to,
even Guido themselves this year-and
being the noisest street in the city for
two Fourth O. Julys a-running? Let
'em just wait till theys heard this
Fourth o. July!
It was three days of. That would,
give the Crosspatch Man time to have
the straw taken up and the bell un-
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 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. ~

ORCHIDS THAT RIVAL THE UPAS

Brazilian Forest That Is Guarded by q
Veil of Chloroform.
From Golfers Weekly: Serge Bal
aguine, Russian explorer of Brazil,
states in an interview recently pub
lished in the Gaulols of Paris, that a
few degrees below the equator he dis
covered a forest of flowers that pre-
vented him from approaching them.
With every Difference to Mr.. Bala-
guine, that forest seems to have been
discovered before. Two years ago
there. appeared in San Francisco
paper an account provided by a bulb
hunter returning from the same re-
gion, who declared that after MOTTO
ing in forest an odor, vague and
sweet at first, but which increased as
he advanced, ultimately he reached a
clearing, and there, straight ahead,
was wilderness of orchids. Trees
were loaded with them, underbrush
was covered with them, they trailed
on the ground, mounted in reckoning
contortions, dangled from punches,
ASAA ~ 0ASVt0 oAAu OAOA60IOu oAO ga
panded as far as the eye could reach.
A breeze passed and they swayed with
it, moving with life of their own,
dancing in the glare of the quatorial
sun, and as they danced exhaling an
odor that protected them more sheerly
than a wall. In vain did that hunter
endeavor to approach. There was a
veil of perfumed chloroform through
which he could see, but through
which, try as he eight, he could not
pass. It held hiIa sack more effect
ually than bayonets, and it was tor
ture to him to see those flowers and
to feel that before he could reach
them he must lie, suffocated by the
very splendors of which he was in
search, poisoned by floral jewels such
as no one perhaps had seen before.
At the time the place was known as
the village of demon flowers.

Lib MADE A LITTLE SPEECH.
!; 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 it
was the ''Iull 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 ss4
Then came Meredith's establishment.
for the Crosspatch Mans voice was
answering, and it was quite calm and
gentle; and it said:
"Of course shall be sick again,
Hari!I've' made al my plans to perish.
But what can you expect? The little
chaps must have their Fourth o. July.
| I was a. little chap myself-once. Shut
the window, Han. There's suspicion
