What an Almanac Did.

an almanac saved her life.
Il have been troubled a great deal

Almanac for 1902 and in It read some
stories of how Dodd's Kidney Pills
had cured many very bad cases OF
Kidney Trouble.
My husband bought q box and
began to use them and in a short time
we were surprised and delighted at
the wonderful Improvement In my
case.

What Constitutes "News."

The Buffalo Commercial says that
Charles A. Dana once defined news
in this way: IF you see dog biting
n man don't write it up. But if you
see man biting dog spare no pains
or money to get the details to the
Sun office" This is poor paraphrase
of a good story. When Doc" Wood
was night editor OF the Sun young
reporter asked him: What consti-
tutes news?" MIR. Wood considered
for q moment and then replied;
Here's an illustration which will
probably give you correct idea of
what | think on that subject. If you
should see dog running down
Broadway with a tin can tied to his
tail it isn't worth line. But if you
should see a dog with a tin can tied
to his tail-walking down Broadway
it's worth a column"

nowadays will advise you as to a

stanch admirers, yet we hope IL will

All through the hot July forenoon a
movers outfit had dragged slowly
along the red, sun-hardened road.
When IL reached the top of a long hill
il swerved in under the shadow OF
some trees and halted. A tall, broad
shouldered man clambered down from
the wagon, and was presently followed
by young woman in a sunbonnet and
On old man who peered eagerly from

wagon and turned loose to Craze,
Then the man took a fishing pole and
started leisurey toward a green line
of bushes, which could be seen wind
ing along in the distance; the woman
went into the woods to gather fuel.
The old man watched them depart
with evident uneasiress. He loitered
about undoubtedly, and at last walked
slowly down the road A big brindle
Cog rose lazily and followed him.
The wagon was concealed from be-
low by an abrupt bend in the road.
Along this were dropping masses If
cbincapin bushes. The old man paused
near them and gazed wistfully into
the valley. Every building. field and
orchard passed successfully under his
gaze, and his dim old eyes grew misty
with loving recognition. Presently he
saw a horseman in the distance, and
he looked at him curiously. After
awhile his curiosity changed to in
terest. and then to apprehension. As
the horseman came slowly up the hill
he trembled violently and at last
turned and hurried toward the wagon.
As he did so the dog sprang forward
with loud barks of suspicion and de-
fiance.
Suddenly there was a sharp report,
and a thin cloud of smoke rose hazi'y
into the air. AS it floated out over
the chincapin bushes the horseman
came into view There was a smile
of amusement on his face, which in
stantly disappeared as he glanced to
ward the wagon Underneath it. ana

figure. Az the same moment the
woman emerged from the woods.
What's the matter?" she demanded
fiercely. "Eave you shot him."
''N-no, reckon not" The man rose
and stood aside as she bent solicitous-
ly over the figure "He seems 10
breathe alright and can find NO trace
Of bullet" He paused a moment bur
as she did not answer, added deprecat-
ingly: you see | only intended to
brighten the dog and fired high"
The old man groaned and threw
out his arms as though to ward of
something. The woman stroked his
head softly.

a pedestal as compared with other

line comes clearly from the thirteenth
century, but it was not until 300 years
later that they became merchants

stranger was tall and of commanding
figure, and she evidently believed him
to be a person Of consequence in the
neighborhood. Possibly he owned the
