AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
A Lady of Grand Rapids strikes the
Right Thing.

Many extraordinary cases OF the
work of the little conqueror are coming
TO light in Michigan. Hundreds of them
have been investigated by our repre-
sentatives and each but gives added
strength TO those which have gone be-
fore. Such well deserved words of
praise are daily showered on this mod
ern wonder-worker from all parts OF
the Union. Speaking OF her experience
a lady of Grand Rapids, Mrs. John
Gardner, who resides at No. 500 Second
street, says: For over twenty years l
was bothered with kidney trouble, and
despite treatment by physicians and
using almost every remedy that came
to my notice, L received no permanent
relief until tried Doan's Kidney Pills.
No one except those who have been
through the mill of kidney complaint
can tell the torture that.o endures.
The constant pains across my back eX-
tending up the right side; totally un-
able to lie on my right side; the stiff
ness and numbness of my limbs; the
eXcruciating pain; is something much
more easy to think about than to eX-
press. Many time my husband has
had to rub my back to get up the cir
culation before l was able 10 get on
my feet. My family prevailed on me
to try Doan's Kidney Pills, but as L
had used dozens of other remedies l
had very little hope of finding Keller.
They persisted in their advice, and in
the fall of 1897 l used three boxes. l
felt like different person. l was in
better health than had been in years.
The pain in my back left, slept well
at night, 1 could do my homework as
well as 1 ever could, and l give the
entire credit to Doan's Kidney Pills.
make this statement so that other
women who suffer as / suffered may be
in a position to know what TO use If
they wish to get rid of that too preva-
lent disease, kidney complaint"

Choir From South Africa Sang at
Lake Orion.

Orion, Mich, Aug. 19.-Sunday one
OF the most interesting programs OF
the assembly was given by Prof. j. III.
Balmer of Grahamstown, south Afri-
ca. Mr.. Balmer went to Africa sew
eral years ago and began his educa-
tional work by giving instruction to
the Kaffirs in vocal music. He is ac-
companied by Miss Elsie Clark, who
is of English parentage, but was born
and brought up in South Africa. In
the afternoon she spoke of the home
life among the Beers and gave many
fascinating descriptions of native life
in South Africa. Mr.. Balmer brings
with him five young lads.
Their ages range from 10 TO Is
years. They appeared in costume and
simply captured the audience. One of
the finest musical selections was the
singing Of THE Holy City" by the
Zulu lad, who is 10 years old.
While the boys themselves present
great educational lesson, they are
also working for the education OF
their brothers at home, as the pro-
ceeds of their trip will go TO erect
school buildings in South Africa
This afternoon from 3 to 8 o'clock
Mr.. and Mrs John Winters will give
reception to the boy choir, to which
the people of Oxford, Orion and Roch'
ester are invited.

noon last. When we had planted Is in
dividuals in our private editorial grave
yard, we sincerely hoped and trusted
that the limit had been reached, and
for the last two years we have done
our best to avoid adding TO the num-
Der. On several occasions, as many of
our people know, we have let n scrub
man hustle us around a corner rather
than send his unprepared soul into eter-
nifty. At 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
as we were negligently reclining
against the door Of the postoffice, hav-
ing only peace and good will in our
hearts, a man named Bascomb came
along and announced that our carcass
had numbered the earth long enough.
Any enmity he may have had was de-
veloped by our refusal six months ago
to publish poem he had written on
"The Mule" At one time and another
he has thrown out dark hints. but we
have given them no thought. The other
day, however, he opened fire on us with
his words and had fired four bullets all
around us before we discovered that he
really meant business. We were then
forced to pull and shoot, and it is need
less to say that we were fully exoner-
ated by the coroner's jury and by pub
lie opinion. We ordered the undertake
er to spare no reasonable expense, and
we paid for six hacks to make up a
funeral procession. The deluded de-
ceased was given site No. II in our
grounds, and yesterday we had his
headstone up and a rosebush planted
on his grave. No one could have done
better by him, and many would have
done nothing at all, but we cannot help
but feel grieved and cast down. We
have 10 ambition TO kill off the people
OF Arizona to stock private grave
yard. nor are we man looking for a
fuss to show skill with gun. We were
cornered and had TO do it, but from this
time on all poems, no matter whether
relating TO the mule, the horse, the cow
boy or anything else living or dead,
Will be promptly published in the hope
Of avoiding further tragedies.

swired the Pay Roll.

Grand Rap DIS. Mich, Aug. III.
Frank Bennett, bookkeeper for Per-
kins q Co, machinists, drew $3.50
from the bank just before noon Satur-
day for the weekly pay roll and took
the more home in an ordinary
satchel. This has been his practice,
as the bank closes at / o'clock.
After lunch lie took a street car for
the factory and depositing his satchel
on the floor at his feet began talking
with a fellow passenger. When he
reached the factory the bag containing
the money could not be found During
the trip somebody had walked off with
it without attracting attention and left
no clew. Bennett has a faint impress
sion that other passengers were on the
car, but can give no description. He

ing and seldom out Of temper. He
knows he can lick anything he may
come across. and he Is not foolish
enough to let a Goldfish or founder
provoke him out of his dignity. He
just goes swimming up and down the
sea from Sunday morning to Saturday
night, and II there Is anything good
going he grabs on to 1t. 1t is an ideal
life, with nothing to do and the whole
ocean to do Ii in, and II Is no wonder
that the overworked elephant some
times complains Of his hard lot. 1t is
only when man goes forth TO hunt the
leviathan for his oil to grease up the
grindstone that the big fish displays
the other side Of his character. Tic

and harassed by bombs he backs into
a corner like a baldheaded man with
a weak chin and fights to the death.
1t Is said by some naturalists that
whales are subject to various diseases
and that leviathans with the asthma,
rheumatism, liver complaint and con-
sumption are TO be met with now and
then, but even if this be SO no one need
pity them. A whale is big enough to
take care of himself, no matter what
tackles him. and he always has cod
liver oil on tap to use as a remedy.
