COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

| Sumpter, ILL.,, June 1O.-Mrs. J. B.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was so very bad that for the last
three years, she has not been able to
wear her shoes. She had doctored all
the time, but was gradually getting
worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug
store in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and well as ever she was, COM
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever of
Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance, does not
half express her feelings, and she
and Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their
praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won
derful remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known in White
County.

SWIFT RUNNING DOGS.
ereyhounds Are the Fastest Of All
FOur-Footed Crea-
turea.

Some remarkable statistics in re-.
gard to the speed of dogs have been.
gathered by NJ. Dusolier, French sci
enlist. After pointing out the marvel
Gus endurance shown by little fox ter
r1ers who follow their masters pa
tiently for hours while the latter are
riding on bicycles or in carriages, he
says that even greater endurance and
speed are shown by wild animals that
are akin to dogs, reports the New
York Herald. Thus wolf can run be-
tween so and 100 kilometers in one
night, and an arctic fox can do quite
as well, If not better. Nansen. saws
81. Dusolier, met one of these foxes
on the ice at point more than 100
kllometers northwest of the Sannikow
territory, which is 500 kilometers from
the Aslatic coast. Eskimo and ST.
berlan dogs can travel IS kilometers
ON the ice in five hours, and there is
one case on record in which team of
Eskimo dogs travelled II kilometers
in % minutes.
According to M. Dusolier, the speed
of the shepherd dogs and those used
Tor hunting ranges from 10 to Is
meters second. English settlers and
pointers hunt at the rate of 80 to 35
kllometers an hour, and they can
maintain this speed for at least two
hours.
Foxhounds are extraordinarily
swift, as is proved by the fact that a
dog of this breed once beat a thor
oughbred horse, covering four miles
In SIX minutes and a half, which was
at the rate of nearly IS meters a sec
ond.
Greyhounds, says NJ. Dusolier, are
the swiftest of all four-footed crea-
lures, and their speed may be regarded
as equal to that of carrier pigeons.
English greyhounds, which are care
fully selected and which are used for
coursing, are able to cover, at full
gallop, a space between IS and %
meters every second. How great an
achievement this is may be judged
from the fact that thoroughbred
horse rarely, if ever, exceeds 10 me-
tiers. Moreover, it is said that hare
at its greatest burst of speed never
goes faster than at the rate of 1S
meters.
These interesting statistics are ex-
citlng much comment among sports
men and other lovers of dogs, and the
opinion is unanimous that NJ Dusolier
mas fully proved the right of the grey
Mound to rank as the swiftest of all
QuadrupedS.

quadrupeds.

do you know that if a tenant in a
skyscraper gave you bis keys on Sat-
urday night and told you to go to his
Office on Sunday to read or to work,
that you couldn't get IMP" the agent
of an Office building asked the other
day, says the Chicago Tribune
Il knew nothing of the Sort" said
the man to whom he was talking and
who had come to him with complaint
that the janitor had prevented him
from going up in the elevator on las
Sunday afternoon, although he had
had the key ito the Office which he
wanted to use. 81 supposed that when
a tenant paid you the rent he could
use the Office when he liked"
He can, but you can't, and neither
can anyone else who only has the key
to show that permission has been
granted. That rule is one of the
strictest we have. Our elevator man
who is on duty on Sundays has strict
orders to allow no one to go up in the
elevator who has not a pass. In fact,
there have to be two passes. One
must be signed by the tenant and de-
posted with the elevator man the day
before, and the other must be in the
possession of the man who wants to
use the Office. If he has not got. it
he will have to be identified to the sat
isfaction of the Sunday elevator man,
who, by the way, is careful. If he
lets man go upstairs who has no
right there his job is in danger. There
are no exceptions to the rule. In some
office buildings clerks must have ere
dentials before they get in on Sum
days. In others this rule is not in
force, but in all of the buildings the
closest care is exercised about letting
strangers in. BY strangers I mean
every one who has not a lease for an
Office in the building"
Whats your reason?'
Thieves. We used to have many
cases of sneak thievery and one or two
of more than small proportions before
the rule went into effect. The keys
are no passport. We recognize the
fact that holdups sometimes occur in
Chicago and we take no chances. You
or some one else might have held up
our tenant and taken the keys from
him. Before you go upstairs you have
to have an order from him and it has
to be signed"

To share our plenty, bear our dearth.

And solemn stars above us sweep,
Think on Thy nights of earthly sleep;
Remember, Lord, and love US.
by every dawning, fresh and dear,
When choiring birds sing round us clear.
Think on Thy mortal wakings here
Remember, Lord, and love US.
"By suns that shine with cruel stress,
BY winds that vex us and Cypress,
Remember Thine own weariness;
Remember, Lord, and love US.
"By springtime days when joy Is rife,
BY winter nights of storm and strife,
Remember Thou hast lived EARTH life.
Remember. Lord, and love us.
"By all our slow decaying saith
OF doom drawn nearer with each breath,
Think how Thy life went down to death

The morning sun, the evening dew
Wilt Thou not hear us praying, too?

A GLORIOUS SIGHT.
Fields OF Wheat in which the stocks
Were So Thick II Was Impossible
to Drive Between Them.

To the Editor:
A gentleman from Duluth made a
trip through portion of Western
Canada last summer, and writing of
what he saw, says:
Wheat, for instance, will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the
acre. / saw shocks so thick in the
field that it would be almost impossi-
bic to drive between them. Winters,
1t is said, are longer than near Duluth.
but the japan current, warm chinook
winds and dry atmosphere make the
winters comparatively mild
Thousands of such testimonies are
to be had from settlers who have
taken advantage of the low-priced
lands of Western Canada. During the
present year new districts will be
opened up in the Saskatchewan VAL
ley, and advantage should be taken of
this at once. Information can be had
from any agent of the Government,
whose advertisement appears else

Another defeat came the Senator's way

carrying off the ball by the score OF TO l.
President Ban Johnson reached Chicago
yesterday direct from Cleveland, where ne
had been Investigating last Tuesdays

Spiders on account of the umpire allowing
Jack O'Brien to score the tying run
through cutting third base on his way
home Mr.. Johnson at once issued no.

and instead placed fine Of 500 on Man.
ager Manning for the withdrawal OF the
team and $50 on OBrien for his tricky
play. In addition, the game was thrown
out of the records, as Mr.. Johnson says
he will not stand for victories achieved
in the way the one was pulled Off In
Cleveland.
This decision of President Johnson per-
mitted Captain Clarke to get in the game
at Chicago yesterday, and Grady went to
first, DUNCAN to right, Waldron to center
and Farrell still on second in place of
Quinn The shifting of players resulted In
a better game, but Patterson, who did the
twirling for the white sox, outpitched
Lee and as result the Senators went
down to defeat. The fielding of the Chica-
go players was simply perfect, while the
Waldron, Coughlin anu Clingman being
the transgressors. The latter'S mlsplay
was a short throw to first, and as other
reports give the error to Grady, saying the
latter dropped the ball, the best shortstop
in the league should be given the benefit
of the doubt.
Chicago began doing business with Lee
in the first inning, two runs being sent
across the plate. After Hoy had been re-
tired at first, Jones singled to left and
Mertes followed with a high fly In the
same direction. Foster obligingly mis-
judged the ball. Jones scoring and the bat
ter getting to third. Isbell then hit to
Clingman and on the latters short throw
to first Grady dropped the ball and
MerteS scored.
After resting in the second inning, the
Comiskeyites went to work again in the
third, scoring pair of runs, their last Of
the game. Hoy sent out a ringing hit
which was good for three bases and the
center. Mertes then pushed Jones to Sec
ond through the medium Of pretty sacri-
flee and the latter crossed the plate when
Mcfarland sent out timely single. Five
ciphers came the Chicagos way for the
rest of the game, as Lee let out a few
kinks in his good left paw and the batting
of the white sox ceased there and then.
1t looked like shut-out for Washington
as Patterson was pitching great ball, and
six innings had gone by without a tally
being chalked up to the Senator's credit.
In the seventh they managed to get cou-
pie of hits together and one run resulted.
Jack Farrell led off with ringing double
and went to third as DUNCAN was being
put out at first. Mike Grady then slammed
one through the center of the diamond
good for one base, Farrell racing home
