ALL WRONG
The Mistake is Made by Many
Providence Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause OF backache
To be cured you must know the cause
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys,
A Providence resident tells you how this
can be done.

employed in the cotton mills as overseer
OF the weavers, says: "For some years I
was subject off and on to frequent at
taeks OF backache, accompanied with
heavy dull aching through my loins.
while at work or sitting in one position
for any length of time. A friend told
me about Doan's Kidney Pills and went
to a drug store for a box. was soon
relieved OF the backache and lameness,

Pills to others as n reliable and effective
preparation and the best remedy l ever

few minutes later Young came down

the trunk ready and that II was very
heavy and must be handled with the
greatest care Dolby assured Young that
he was good and strong. and the two
went upstairs, where Young led the way

into the parlor OF the fiat. The trunk
was In the middle OF the room securely
fastened Dolby took hold OF one end
and Young of the other. and they started
down the hall Going down the stairs.
Dolby noticed that the contents or the
trunk moved slightly and mentioned II to
Young
"Oh. it's lot OF books" said Young.
II didn't get them In I'm very good shape.

Dolby doesn't recall saying anything
else 10 Young. or that Young said any
thing more to him. They finally got the
trunk out on the street. whore they rest

then they put II Into the rear or the bug

Young took a rope from the bottom or
the buggy and tied II In. Then he jumped

away. That was the last Dolby saw OF
him on Wednesday.
The police traced Young and his trunk
beyond this place. They found a Janitor
named Johnson who is employed I'm the
saloon OF Henry Graveman, opposite the
Clarence Apartment house. who was sit
ting In front OF the Saloon on Wednesday,
and saw Dolby and Young put the trunk
In the buggy. He thought that II was

attention OF Graveman 10 Il. Graveman
buggy and remarked TO Johnson that he
would bet II would fall off before II had
gone far.
YOUNG LOST NERVE.
The amazing coolness which Young had
shown thus far evidently deserted him
when he got started on his Journey. He
went down Broadway with his buggy.
and as a rig OF this kind with a tall
trunk up behind the hood is not a COM
mon sight in New York this one was no.
ticed by several persons.
Captain Schmittberger last night found
two trustworthy men who saw Young
driving down Broadway. Their atten-
tion was drawn 10 the man by the reck-
less way in which he was driving They
say that the horse was going at a rapid
rate, that the buggy was swinging from
side 10 side and that the trunk was In
imminent peril OF falling off
At the corner OF Fortieth street. they
say the man almost ran into a trolley
car and little further down the block a
trolley car almost ran into him few
yards further down Broadway he seemed
to lose control Of his horse and buggy.
Horse, trunk and all came pretty near
going into the Subway.
Another trolley car bumped the buggy.
but by luck. rather than skill Young
managed 10 extricate himself from his
difficulty and 80 far as is known he en-
countered no more difficulties.
The police OF Hoboken and this city
agree that beyond doubt Young and his
buggy crossed the Fourteenth street ferry
TO Hoboken and last night detectives were
all the ferry hands who were
on duty that night In the hope OF finding
one who saw the man.
The murderer is a grandson OF Brigham
Young, the noted Mormon. He was liv-
ing In an apartment belonging TO John
w. Young. his father, while the latter
was in Eyrope.

No Salvation Army Divorces.

In these latter days, when the d.
vorce courts are crowded with mis-
mated pairs, the claim of the Salvation
Army that in its ranks divorce is I'M
known where the weddings were per-
formed by the hallelujah ceremony pre-
scribed in their ritual, comes as a
bright spot in the view OF tho domes-
tic life of America, which has been
painted in most pessimistic colors by
social students.
The Salvation Army Is the first re-
llgious society to lay claim to tho
honor of being unstained In its record
by an example Of broken VOW which
were taken with its sanction. For thir-
ty-Hve years the army has been marry

ceremony which binds the persons not
only to each other, but to work In the

DR.. John Marshall, dean Of the Uni

There lived in n small English vii

drive his horses tandem. His parish
toner's evidently thought such a style
was u~nbecoming for a minister and
spoke to him on the subject. Their
words had no effect, and they COM
planned to the bishop. The bishop sent
for the curate and advised him to drive
his horses side by side.
But said the curate, what diff
ference does it make whether | drive
my horses side by side or tandem? The
horses are the same, and there is only
a difference of position

NATURE PROVIDES ICE HOUSE.
rood for Birds That In Prossrv sd In
the Arctic Regions.


The humble Of birds that go to the
arctic regions to breed Is vast beyond
conception. They 20 not by thou
sands. but by tens and hundreds OF
thousands, and because nowhere else
In the world does nature provide Mt
the same time and IN the same place
such a lavish p~rodigality OF food.
The vegetation consists of cram
berry. doudberry and crowberry
bushes. and these, forced by the per-
petual sunshine OF the arctic summer,
bear enormous crops of fruit. But the
the crop Is not ripe until the middle
and end OF the arctic summer, and II
the fruit-eating birds had to wait until
II was ripe they would starve In the
meantime. rs they arrive on the very
day OF the melting of the snow.
But each year the snow descends
on an immense crop of ripe fruit be-
fore the birds have time 10 gather 1t.
1t Is thus preserved perfectly fresh
and pure. and the melting OF the snow
discloses the bushes, with the uncon-
sumed last years crop hanging on

The frozen meal stretches across
the breadth Of northern Asia. 1t never
decays and is accessible the moment
the snow melts. The same heat which
thaws the fruit brings into being the
most prolific insect life in the world
the mosquito swarm 3 on the tundra.
No European can live there without a
veil after the snow melts, The gun
barrels are black with them and clods
Of them often obscure the sight.
Thus the insect eating birds have
only to open their mouths to I'LL them

ence of swarms OF cliff chaffs, pipis
and the wagtails in this arctic region
Is accounted for.

That portion OF the west comprised
in Oklahoma and Indian Territory Is
the center OF interest for the ever
present emigration movement that
marks American civilization. The
states to the north and south have
been drained Of their surplus popu-
lation for u de ,ade to build up these
virgin lands. but the process Ia not
complete. The land Offices OF Okla
homa. outside OF the newly opened
reservations, have done during the
last summer. the largest business in
years.
Western Oklahoma lands that were
considered fit only for the herder are
being taken for small ranches. and
the cattlemen are ~nervously watching
the destruction OF their barbed-wir
fences by the advent of the man with

tion of western land outside the irri-
gated areas that can be secured for
new settlement. While vast tracts are
yet open to homcsteading In other
parts OF the west. they are the refuse.
