AGE NO BAR.

1t Does, OF. Enter Into the Question
You may have it and not know 1t.
You may be young; you may be old.
Symptoms the same in both.
4 babe with weak kidneys has back
ache.
A man of so or so with weak kidneys
has backache.
That's the way 1t talks with all ages
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cure the
babe and the man.
That's the way they do in all ages.
+ No wonder. though, they're made

They couldn't cure a simple case OF
collie
But they cure bad cases of kidney
trouble.
If your back aches, try them.
Writing under date January 10th
1899, Jurgen Walter of this city tells
us as follows: my age is 79-weII
past the ordinary span OF life, and
am the parent of eight children. Be-
ing so far advanced in years, l regard
the relief obtained from Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills.
I suffered from lame back for years
but after taking some of the pills (pro-
cured at HOLSTERS drug store) was
greatly benefited, and am satisfied the
pills did me much good"
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
becoming popular in Honolulu because
they are always endorsed by Honolulu
people.
Our kidneys filter our blood. They
work night and day. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains Of i'm
pure matter daily; when unhealthy
some part Of this impure matter Is
left In the blood, This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, dis.
ordered eyesight and hearing, dizzi'
ness, irregular heart. debility, drowsi-
ness. dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc

However refined the people of Butte

a drummer at the Thornton this morn

stores here to see If could buy any silk

majority of the population OF the coun-

Horse Thief Goes Through.

Sheriff George Harvard of Billings
was here last night and this morning on
his way to Deer Lodge with a horsethief
named George Sergeant, sent to prison
from Billings.
The sheriff of Billings was the guest Of
Sheriff Furey's Office. and his prisoner
was lodged in the county Jail over night
The horsethief has light sentence to
serve-only one year. He stole a sorrel
skewbald from a widow with nine chill
dren. who drove the skewbald to a milk
wagon.
The horselifting interrupted the milk
business. and the punishment of the
horseraider was very small considering
the circumstances.
Sergeant is a small man with red
complexion and peculiar look. about 40
Years old. and it was considered the
heighth of impertinence for one of his
insignificant appearance to loot horses.

GOOD MONEY THROWN AWAY
Butte Mathematician Says There I
Evil in Euntiug-Case Watches.

Did you ever realize how much time

maticians. today, as he observed a

is a clear waste of valuabl time, and in
this day and age time is money as we
all know. Hence, you are simply
throwing away money, good money, thar

heather. ...-=. .-sss,3s@.. -sss..s s,.ya
There are thousands Of aneh IN Butte
who carry hunting-case watches. and
each one daily loses considerable time in
opening it, After a whole lot Of careful
figuring I have come to the conclusion
that the time lost. which is money, as I
have stated, would amount in the course
of year to more than a year for the

watches.

weeks in a year. and at s25 per week the
money would amount to $1,000.
THE sum Of $1,000. if properly applied
in heather country. would pay the sal
airy of one, perhaps two. missionaries
and it is safe to say that each mission
airy could save at least so souls.
There you are. sir. B, carrying a
hunting-case watch you are deliberately

of humanity Why. you ought to be

one of them was concerned. at any rate.
Il went to two or three other places
and found that they did not have any
silk hose in stock. My bluff was working
elegantly and I was getting as much in
formation as some people who pay for it.
Finally 1 went into a large mercan-
tile establishment, and when I asked for
the article which might have been de-
clared a staple from the frequency with
which 1 called for it I nearly had heart
disease when the clerk told me that he
could supply me with what wanted.
Il began to wonder how I was going
to make a getaway without paying for
my experience and knowledge. looked
at perhaps half the stock the firm carried
in the way Of silk hose and could not
find anything to suit me.
Uses His Nerve.
II was tough customer, admit, but
when a man is wising up he has to use
his nerve a little sometimes. I was right
in on one of those times.
IT got away without buying any hose,
and I learned that the line is not repre-
scented very extensively In the stocks in
the Butte stores.
Probably people in other cities wear
silk stockings just as little as they do in
Butte, but I am not sure about it. I
have taken the pains to find out about
the matter with reference to this city.
"If anyone else is looking for the same
| kind of information with reference to
other cities I viii leave him to make his
own report. My duty in that line ends.
now that have covered the territory Of
Butte.
IT was informed by one clerk that the
| reason his firm did not carry silk stock
ings was because it had little or no call
for them.
THAT seemed to be a pretty sensible
reason. I suppose 1t would apply equally
we'll to other stores which do not handle
the line.
