velpen, Ind, June 17.-William o.
B. Sullivan, farmer of this place, and
who is . brother of ex-Representa-
tive Sullivan, of Pike and Dubois
counties. has had . remarkable ex-
perience recently.
Mr.. Sullivan is 40 years of age,
and has been . citizen of Pike county
for 30 years. For two years he has
suffered much with Kidney Trouble
and Rheumatism. His shoulders and
side were very sore and stiff, and his
back was 90 bad he could hardly
straighten up at all. He had palpita'
ton Of the heart, and q smotherine
which was very distressing. He used
three boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills
and is as strong and well as ever he
was. He pronounces his cure mir
acle. Mr.. Sullivan's statement of his
case Is startling:
"a month ago was q cripple. To
day I can do hard days work every
day, and have not single ache OF
pain"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done some
wonderful cures in Indiana, but none
more miraculous than that in thu
case Of Mr.. Sullivan.

CONVERTED THE OLD BELL.
terrain Of How II Became
Truly Conseeratea.

For many years Father Boyle was
one of the most prominent and popular
Catholic clergymen in Washington,
where he had great reputation as =
wit. Many of his most intimate friends
were Protestants and members of the
Protestant clergy. A few months be-
fore his death he erected . missionary
chapel down by the navy yard and
bought at junk shop an old bell which
had been discarded by one of the Pres
byterian churches. He sent the bell to
. foundry in Georgetown and had sew
eral inches Of metal pared on he rim.
Having thus got rid of . crack the
harsh and discordant tones Of the bell
became short and sweet. Meeting Z
Presbyterian parson not long after,
Father Boyle called his atteB ton to
the change and the latter could scarce
" believe II was the same bell. "What
In the world did you do with that bell2''
inquired the Presbyterian pastor, sstc
cause such : change In the tone Z" I'VE
