"1 AM AS INNOCENT AS EITHER OF YOU.


ty years. The managers of the Nelson
department store, which lay Oh Johns
route, claimed that their mail had been
systematically robbed Of money orders
lodging any complaint they had con-
Quoted q small detective campaign Of
their own. Twenty letters containing
money had been sent to as many places
to be forwarded to the concern. Only
fifteen came to light. 1t could not be
argued that the missing five had been
lost in the mails. The Nelson people
pointed the finger of suspicion ut old
John.
John had gained white hair and hon.
or in the postal service. During the
first ten years Of his work there was
not single mark against him. In the
second term there was just one-he
had been marked Late" because Of the
illness of his daughter.
Rugby was detailed on the case and
prepared ten decoy letters inclosing
marked money. He took them to va
rious points within few miles Of the
city and had them directed by strange
hands. He saw them arrive In the
postoffice, saw them placed In the old
mans pouch, saw him start out with
them. Then he followed the old car
rier with feeling almost self con-
demnatory.
After covering half Of his route
Compton stopped for ten minutes at
his own home. which was in a fat
house. He came out whistling and
went on his way. Rugby WAS seated
in a dim nook of the Nelson Office
when Compton reached the little win
dow and handed over the mail. In
stantly he counted the decoy letters.
Only six of the ten had been delivered.
These were the facts that Inspector
Smith was reviewing as he sat In the
dull twilight. When Rugby and Comp
ton entered Smiths office there was
look of wonder in the old mans eyes,
but no trace Of guilt or anxiety. When
told Of the charge, he smiled almost
childishly. When ordered to empty
his pockets, he complied without the
least hesitation, yet Of the SIP he laid
on the table no less than $40 was In
the marked money. When this was
pointed out to him, his confding smile
vanished. and he turned pale as he
said:
"Why. got this money only two
hours ago. l gave ten dollar bill In
exchange"
"Then Of course you can name the
party and clear yourself?" asked
Smith kindly.
"Of course can. It-was-was"-
There he stopped. A queer change
came over his face. His lips quivered
like those Of Il trusting child who had
unexpectedly received blow from the
hand it loved. Suddenly he drew him
self up and looked from Smith to Rug
by.
do either Of you gentlemen believe
age"
I'VE don't want to believe 1t, was
the reply. "but letters have been stol-
en-. and you have the money that was
inclOSed in them"
"And yet am Us innocent as either
of you"
Il hope so. Where did you change
the money!"
Il cannot say" he replied. with tight
ly compressed lips.
"Do you know who took those let
ters"
A spasm Of pain crossed the old mans
face, but he quickly recovered.
IL do not know"
Smith and Rugby looked at each 9th
er helplessly. Finally Smith spoke.
"Nnu know, of course, Mr.. Compton,

\ SIMPLE CIIANGE.-The little daugh-

NOVEL LABOR LAW.
THAT Passed by Kansas LegisIature-Its
Provisions.

prOvIStOnSs
Kansas. always to the front with some
thing new, original and out of the ordi-
nary, has produced a labor law which is
beyond all precedent and a novelty, to
those interested in labor legislation. The
act authorizes and requires the coal min
ers of the state to form a state assocfa ton
and elect secretary who becomes ex-
OfficlO state mine inspector and secretary
Of mine industries. A salary Of $1,5OO a
year and $1,000 for expenses and the pow
er to appoint deputies goes with the office.
The striking feature of the act is that
the office is beyond the appointive power
of the executive, the people at large have
nothing to say about the election. and the
state possesses no authority as to the
removal &Of the official. The law pre-
scribes that he shall be elected each year
by the miners themselves shall be sub
ject to their control and draw his salary
from the state. The law also defines the
representa- ton to which each local union
shall be entitled in the annual convention,
and in detail outlines the manner In which
1t shall be held. The date is fixed for
holding the convention each year in the
state capitol, and the law specifies that
seven or more miners shall organize them
selves into a union. - The manner of
holding the state convention and the rem
resentat1on is almost identical with that
prescribed in the constitution of the
United Mine Workers Of America from
which large part Of the law appears to
have been copied.

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges COM
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With SO many children to take care OF
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Perura aneverfailing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DIR. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear SiE-"The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from iaryngi.
It's, and loss of voice. The result OF
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
TO be able to say she Is entirely cured. .

the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re-
suits as the above letter testifies.

HORSES IN THEIR KNApsAcKs,
I.awtons Cavalry Were Provided
Against Any Sort Of Expedi-

A well.known Boston lecturer, Peter Mac
Queen, has seen military service in more
than one campaign, having been with Roose-
welt at Santiago and with Lawton in the
Philippines. He is an enthusiastic admirer
of the regular army private, whose sense
of humor, he declares, is unfailing. The
following is one of his favorite stories:
"In the last expedition Gen. Lawton made
against Santa Cruz two regiments, the
Fourth cavalry and an Idaho regiment,
were sent up the Laguna de Bay in native
boats. In the darkness two regiments ran
into one another and great confusion re-
suited.

".Fine cavalry was the answer. Where

Too Many State Boards.

Gov. Stanley says great saving
to Kansas taxpayers could be made
by wiping out several useless boards.
He says two men do the work in his
Office where five were formerly re-
CURED. Too many men, he says,
are kept on the states payroll. He
says one man could do the work of
the state board of charities. "All
three educational institutions should
be put under one board" he says.
each is now governed by different
board and there is a rivalry between
them that should not exist. AS a
result, each institution is overlap
ping the boundaries for which it
was created. The two boards which
now govern the penitentiary and re-
formatory should be wiped out and
one man appointed to look after
those institutions, the same as ] sug-
gested concerning the charitable in
situations"

CONVINCING PROOF.

Case No. 41,2oe.-Capt. Alfred q.
Ripler of Hose Company No. 4, Can
ton, Ohio, says: ~ had weak back
ever since was q boy, and about SIX
years ago the cause developed into
rather a bad case of kidney complaint.
Il was not little backache now and
then but backache which caused actual
suffering day and night, and the harder
I tried to get rid Of 1t the worse 1t
became.
"When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down it was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account OF
the twinges of pain in the kidneys.
I can only describe some of the pangs
rs similar to that received from q
knife thrust.
"In time, distressing and terribly in
convenient urinary weakness resulted,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss of sleep during the
night.
1T took everything which came tony
notice from reading, from observa-
ton, and which my friends and ac-
uuaintances advised. I consulted
physicians, but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.
"It became so we'll known that had
pronounced case of kidney com
plant that I often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier.
"When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted
my attention I wanted to try them
Just as had tried everything else, and
Mrs. Rigler went to Durham & Wright
Co.'s drug store for box. Relief fol
lowed. 1 knew after q dose or two
that the medicine was acting directly
on the kidneys from the altered con
dition of the kidney secretions. and
encouraged, I continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
"Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, I would
willingly pay one months wages fol
q box of them if I could not buy then
for less. You can refer anyone to mt
about Doan's Kidney Pills and l viii
convince them that they act just Of
represented"

Four Years After.

"Lapse of time has strengthened
my appreciation of Doan's Kidney
Pills. I gave this remedy my unquali.
fed endorsement in the summer OF
1896, because of the results obtained
from a course of the treatment.
can now add to my original endorse
ment the experience of q number OF
others who are just as enthusiastic,
