Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.

by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

enc EsampIe OF raeanInI.

A story is told of how Paganini once
came into the concert room, took the
violin and touched the strings. First
one string broke, and a smile went
round the room; then another string
broke, and there was more audible ex-
preston of mockery. When a Third
string broke, many people laughed out
right at his discontinue. But Paga-
mini stood forth with his violin as
though nothing had happened and
played on the one string, and the peo-
pie ceased to smile, but listened spell
bound. Some Of those who had derid-
ed him began to weep, and some even
prayed.
Many a man had fallen helpless hy
the wayside when some great catas-
trophe turned the current of his life
aside. The brave man pushes forward
with one remaining talent and plucks
victory from defeat.

The Common Chord.

James Buckham, one of our minor
poets. put into beautiful verse an Incl
dent which occurred during the civil
war. He calls it "The Common Chord"
The incident was this: Two great az
mics one wearing the blue and one
the gray, were drawn up in prepara-
tion for battle. As the evening fell the
bands began to play. Dixie by the
southernersSwas followed by Yankee
Doodle" bytthe northerners, and MA
ryland, My Maryland" drew out Hail
Columbia" Beautiful Girl Of the
South" was answered by "Just Before
the Battle. Mother" Each side mock
ed and jeered the. others music and
cheered their own until the stars came
out and silence fell.
Then, sweet and low, band far up
the line began to play Home. Sweet
Home" Another and another joined
until all the bands on both sides were
playing In unison, and, stronger and
more beautiful still, the men on both
sides were singing the words. The
common chord had been struck, aud
the thousands of combatants were at
one with the sentiment, "There's no
place like home"

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
His Boyhood Days Recalled

Officer Frank Kane is one of the
most popular policemen in Whining
ton He not only is fearless as an
officer. but he is man enough to re-
member that once upon a time, how
long we will not say. he was a boy,
and enjoyed just exactly the same kind
of pranks that the boys Of today in
dulge in.
It was in the West Side of the city
yesterday that the officer showed that
he not only had a big heart, but he
also had good use Of his thinking ap-
Daratus.
There were several Christmas trees
lying on a lot where they had been
thrown after being removed from
nearby houses. One of these trees was
of good shape and caught The eye of
the boys. Come on, boys. let's have

start the blaze. The other boys soon
We're engaged in picking up paper,
when one of them espied Officer Kane
approaching leisurely

Every boy Strengthened, the paper
being in his hands behind him.
Officer Kane approached, and after

with hanging heads, for they felt that
they had been caught in the commits
sion of an illegal act.
Each one of you put your 'paper
under this tree"
They did as they were told.
Now, then, get all these other trees
and pile on top of this one"
They were not long in obeying this
order.
Now. here's a match. Light that
paper and we will have a big bonfire. -
The boys looked at the officer as If
they thought he had lost his senses
but they struck the match and had a
bigger fire than they had hoped for.
In explanation, the officer said: Il
had Just about enough time to see that
those trees were burned and thought
it better to have them all in a pile
than to let those boys have half a
dozen fires on the lot with no one
around to protect the property"
The boys now are Officer Kane.

NEurRAL NATIoN

11vCry American with "a particle OF
human feeling must sympaUhize with
that heroic little band OF men strug-
Cling 10 maintain The independence of
their Republics in South Africa. Since
the beginning OF hostilities il is esti-
mated that $1,000 Beers have been
slain, and an even greater number Of
King Edwards troops. The suffering
and the destitution in South Africa are
appalling, and naturally a people so
humane as our own must long fer a
cessation of hosti.ities. But the criti-
cisms OF the attitude Of our Govern
ment in the matter, are. most of Them,
Wide of the mark, and are made eit.her
with hack of information or with a
desire 10 embanass the Administra
ton.
President Mckinley, early in the
struggle, proffered THE good offices of
our Government in settling the dis
pute These England courtcously. but
firmly declined. There were then. and
are now. two courses open to us; either
Ito interfere. which means war with
England, or to preserve strict neutral
lty. The latter course being the only
sane position. we have chosen. and we
are not violating the international
code IN carrying out our purpose.
IL is said that horses and mules are
being shipped from America to the
English army, and our Government is
asked to stop It on the ground that II
lis in violation of neutrality. This is
based on a wrong assumption. The
principle of neutrality is well defined
and understood by the nations. We
have no right to ht out expeditions in
the interests Of either belligerent, but
our people have the right TO sell such
supplies as either desires to purchase.
.Of course. such articles have no pro-
lection of our Government while in
transit as the buyer or seller runs all
The risks. If the Government had the
right to stop such sales, which it
hasn't, It would be setting a dangerous
precedent. Suppose two great nations
like England and Russia should engagein
war. We would be shut Off from our
natural markets, even when the de-
mand would be largely increased. There
are many things which we deplore
which we cannot prevent, and one Of
these is the continuance of the South
African war.

] wish I had been there. too
She had to touch a crack in the floor
With the tip of each little shoe.
She spelled the name Of her pussy cat
And her little doggie. too.
! don't know how to spell or to read;
l fold and weave and paste
And do lot Of other things
That Gradma thinks is waste.
She SAYS il would be better, far,
For me to hem and baste.
My school is not like Grandmother'ss
Where she went long ago;
/ cannot sit and swing my legs,
Ny chair is very low.
We all play games and dance and sing
Ny schools more fun, l know.
MY Grandmother's mother made hel
wear
An apron of gingham blue.
That came way down below her dress
And covered her sleeves up. too;
l don't think I'd like it quite as well
As a pretty dress, would you?
| asked my mother If couldrgo
j Just for a single day,
To the school that Grandmother tell
i about.
But she said MY little May,
Her school lives only in Memory-land
And that is too far away"
