LISTEN TO THE TALk|
It Comes From Pueblo - It Comes
 Comes the Back.

Did you know it?
 Know the back could talk?
 Tell it's troubles like a child?
 Tell you why it aches and pains?
 Tell you why it's lame and weak?
 Warn you of the kidneys ills?
 Kidneys have too much to do,
 Can't be sick and filter, too.
 Listen to them when they speak.
 Relieve the kidneys; cure the ache.
 Keep the filters free at work.
 Keep the kidneys well and strong.
 Then the back is silent.
 It does not ache; it does not pain;
 It is not weak, nor is it lame.
 It's healthy like the kidneys;
 All backache pains and kidney ills
 Are quickly cured by Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Here's proof of it:
 MT. Wm. Gower, of BIO Santa Fe ave, Pueblo, Col, proprietor of the barber shop at BIO Union street, says: "I was mining up in the hills when my back first began to trouble me. This was four or five years ago and since then my back had aches more or less and while at work it caused me con- siderable misery. If I caught cold it settled in my kidneys and severe back ache would be the result. I read a lit tie book advertising Doans Kidney Pills, and being favorably impressed got a box of the remedy. The treat ment removed the trouble with my back and invigorated my whole sys- tenn

seemed unaccountably embarrassed.
To draw her from this mood l re-

response she only flushed and looked
angry. Finally, interrupting me in
the midst Of little mot which l had
composed carefully while dressing for
the dinner, she said soto voice:
"Ill thank you to stop squeezing

Imagine my embarrassment ! Ihad
been treading upon her toes with my

to do so. She accepted my apology
and then proceeded to injure my feel

Broke Him OF Borrowing.

People who are always borrowing
household utensils and neglecting to
return them are annoying neighbOrs,
The problem of how to cure them Of
the habit was solved in an effective
though somewhat costly way by one
longsufering householder.
A new man had moved into the
neighborhood. One of the first things
he did, after getting his goods into
the house, was to borrow step ladder
from his neIt-door neighbOr, Mr..
Smith. He needed it in putting up
his window shades" and "would re-
turn it shortly"
Next be borrowed tack hammer
to use in putting down his carpets,
Then he wanted a Ratchet, a screw
driver and gimlet. all which things
Mr.. Smith, being an accommodating
man, allowed him to take. Several
days passed and none Of the borrowed
articles had been returned.
"IIl cure him" said Mr.. Smith.
About week later the new neigh
Der came back with the screw-driver,
and apologized for having kept it so
long.
That's all right" said Mr.. Smith,
with genial smile. "But you had
better keep it now. l Lave bought
another"
With a muttered apology the new
neighbor hurried back and returned
with the gimlet, the hatchet and the
tack hammer.
"You are welcome to those, said
Mr.. Smith, cordially. 81 have bought
some others and don't need them"
But"
That's all right. You keep them.
They'll come handy about the house.
Again he hurried away, and was re-
turning with the steP-ladder, when
Mr.. Smith, who was just going out,
met him.
why, bless me" he said, "yOu
needn't bring the ladder back !
have got a new one, so l shall not
need it"
The new neighbor kept the things,
but he never borrowed anything more
of Mr.. Smith.

Thomas Jefferson's Ten Rules.

The following are said to be the ten
rules adopted by the author Of the
immortal Declaration of Independ-
ence, for the guidance of his life:
l. Never put off till tomorrow what
you can DO to-day.
.. Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself
3. Never spend your money before
you have it.
4. Never buy what you do not want
because il is cheap; it will be dear to
you.
5. Pride costs us more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
6 We never repent of having eaten
too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we
do willingly.
6. How much pain shs evils that
never happen have caured us
8. Take things away by their
smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten before
you speak if very angry hundred.

A Quaint Advertisement.

It is sometimes difficult to realize
the changes that areconstantly taking
place in the thoughts and opinions of
mankind except as we observe the
past through the enlightenment of the
present. In no department OF life is
this change more conspicuous than in
the opinions concerning the position
of women in the affairs Of the world.
AS an illustration of the position
assigned to women in this country 100
years ago, the following taken from q
bound volume of the files Of the Berke-
ley Intelligencer, published at Mar
tinsburg, Va, from April l9, 1899, to
May 27, 1901, will be of interest:
ITO be sold-For FIVE shillings, my
wife, Jane Heeband. She is stoutly
built, stands firm and is sound, wind
and limb. She can SOW and reap;
hold a plough and drive team and
would answer any stout, able man
that caE hold a tight rein, for she is
hard-mouthed and head-strong but
if properly managed would either lead
or drive as tame as a rabbit. Her
husband parts with her because she is
too much for him. Enquire of the
printer.
IN. B.-All her old clothes will be
given with her."

Windows Of Paper.

Surgeon Captain X. Tamura, of the
Imperial japanese Army, addressed
a recent meeting of the military sur
geons of this country, and in the
course of his remarks DR.. Tamura
called attention to the use of paper
for windows in Japan in place Of
glass. 1t is shown that where no ven-
tilation can take place through glass,
the air passes through the paper quite
freely. Moreover, the texture Of the
paper is such that while admitting the
air, it prevents to some degree the
passage of germs through it. This
point was determined by counting the
number of colonies of bacteria deyel-
oped op media inside and outside the
house. 1t was thus found that nine
ty-sever per centum Of the bacteria of
the air were removed. The speaker
summed up in the adrOit Oriental
way: ut is well known that citizen
of Paris inhales $500 bacteria germs
in day; one of Berlin 5000 Of them.
We japanese, who live in air contain
ing three times as many as Berlin and
twice ss many as Paris, inhale only
1000 bacteria germs in day, simply
because we use paper for the windows
of our houses.

When Tissot Was Satisfied.

An interesting story is told of
Jacques Tissot, the great French paint
er. While in England he painted
beautiful religious picture and, meet
ing countrywoman, asked her opiu.
ion of his work. "It'sa chef d d'euvre,"
she replied, giving remarkably just
and detailed appreciation Of the various
merits of the painting.
"Are you satisfied ?" asked friend.
Tissot answered in the negative. He
entirely repainted the picture, work.
ing night and day.
When finished, he sent again for his
fair critic, who pronounced it admira-
bic and remained silently admiring it
with smiling criticism.
Are you satisfied asked the friend
again when the lady had departed.
No" replied the artist, and he set to
work the third time.
When the Parisienne saw the new
painting, she gazed at it for some mo.
ments with evident emotion and then
without word sank softly to her
knees and began to pray.
Are you satisfied now ?" whispered
the friend, and Tissot said "Yes.

The late Frank Thomson, president
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was
called upon in his official capacity on
one occasion by a great many friends
of conductor who had been dismissed
from the service because Of intoxica-
tion while on duty. Mr.. Thomson
received the delegation Of pleaders
very courteously, listened to all that
could be said on behalf Of the luckless
employee, and then, while expressing
his sorrow, said he could not see his
way clear to interfere. II was urged
that the conductor had always here
tofore borne reputation for sobriety.
Necessarily" replied Mr.. Thom-
son. ELSE be never could have be-
come q conductor on this road.
"But," one Of the plesders went on,
'he never drank drop until last

dent.

ciplinarian, why didn't be get another

The Tranquil Mind.

Who does not love tranquil heart,
a sweet tempered, balanced life2 1t
does not matter whether it rains or
shines or what misfortunes come to
those possessing these blessings, for
they are ,lwsyssweet, serene and calm.
That exquisite polse OF character
which we call serenity is the last Lesson
Of culture; it is the Towering Of life,
the fruitage Of the soul.
1t is as precious as wisdom, more to
be desired than gold-yea, than even
fine gold. How contemplate mere
money wealth looks in comparison with
a serene life-a life which dwells in
the ocean Of truth, beneath the waves,
beyond the reach of tempests, in the
eternal calm
How many people we know who
sour their lives, who ruin all that is
sweet and beautiful by explosive tenn
pers, who destroy their poise Of char
acter by bad blood In fact, it is
question whether the great majority
Of people do not ruin their lives and
mar their happiness by lack of self
control. How few people we meet in
life who are well balanced, who have
that exquisite pOise which is charac-
teristic of the finished character

AS IT HAPPENS.

Men are like the leaves that fall
Some strike on rough spots hard and bare,
And some float gently down where all
Is green. as il with tender care
Some kindly hand had deity planned
Soft little places for them there.
And oft the ones that fall upon
The places that are soft and green,
Go tumbling from the verdant lawn.
While others from where all was mean,
Through trying ways, when many days
Are ended. reach the pleasant scene
Some 60 with all the winds tha, blow.
By every passing zephyr caught
And where the fields and wales dip low
These castaways at last are brought
While many lie through wet and dry.
Where first they CHANGED to fall and rot

French, the sculptor; is an Exeter hoy
and graduate of Phillips Exeter acad-
envy. Like all Exeter men, he is very
loyal, and has generously donated ex-
amples of his work to both town and
academy.
A few years ago one of the busts in the
academy chapel had the misfortune to lose
nose, and as Mr.. French was visiting
the town he kindly offered to replace it.
Now, it happened that the bust was
not the only thing in the AGA denny that
needed mending, for. the night before a
cold snap had frozen and burst the main
water pipe. The plumber, as usual, was
late in appearing. and the old janitor was
terribly upset. Mr.. French put on his
studio rig, packed what few sculptor S
materials he had with him into a bag. and
went to the academy. He didn't know
what part OF the building the statue was
in, so he rang the bell. called up the
janitor, and said:
