order by the tfnsmith, and are fitted
with common flat-wick burners; four
of them can be placed under each
boiler. Thus in the %severest weather
there are eight lamps burning, and
they may burn 25 cents worth of oil

H TEST OF TIME.

Mrs. Clara j. SherboNrne, Profess
sional Nurse of PSF Cumberland ST.,
Portland, Maine, says:-
81 heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the
kidneys would try Doan's Kidney
Pills. They would, like me, be moro
than surprised. My back annoyed
me for years. Physicians who dag
nosed my case said it arose from
my kidneys. When the grip was epi-
demic, l was worn out with constant
nursing, and when 1 contracted it
myself it left mt in a very serious
condition. 1 could not straighten
nor do the most trivial act without
being in torture. The kidneys we're
too active OF the secretions were too
copious, and 1 knew what was wrong,
| but how to right it was n mystery.
1t seems odd for a professional
nurse, who has had n great deal of
| experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go
to H. II. Hay &c Sons drug store for
a box. But I did, however,; and had
anybody told me before that it was
possible to get relief as quickly as
I did 1 would have been 10th to be-
lieve 1t. You can send anyone who
wishes more minute particulars
about my case to me, and / will be
only too glad to tell them PERSONAL
ly. AS long as 1 live / will be a firm
advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills."
Cure Confirmed S Years Later.
"Lapse Of time has strengthened
my good opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills, first expressed in the spring
of 1896. I said then that had any
body told me that it was possible
to get relief as quickly as 1 did I
would have been 10th to believe it.
Years have passed and my continued
freedom from kidney complaint has
strengthened my opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills and given me n much
higher appreciation of their merits"
A FREE TRIAL of this great kid
ney medicine which cured Mrs. Sher-
bourne will be mailed on applica-
ton to any part of the United States.

BOBBY JENNER.
"P. s. I like candy. but 1 don't ever

When the governor had finished
reading the letter he was besieged
by the children: "You will, won't
you, papa? You won't disappoint the
little fellow; just think, he knew
you were so good justfrom seeing your
picture. Say, let us get the things;
we can fit the overcoat and mittens
on our Robby, he's just past eight,
and big for his age; and, oh, papa,
won't you let us send some things
he didn't ask for?"
The children were all talking at
once
Hold on" said the governor. 81
haven't said that l would send the
things that Ia did ask for yet"
His own Robby looked up into his
face and said, gravely: 81 think you
won't be good like your picture looks if
you don't"
This speech settled the question. and
1~4-year-old Winifa,d was appointed
chairman of the purchasing commit
tee by the governor, who gave her a
bill that sent them all flying at him,
until he fled down the steps to keep
from being smothered by their raptur-
Gus embraces.
Bobby Jenner and his thanksgiving
became the topic at breakfast, dinner
and supper, until the governor and
his wife became almost as interested as
the children.
Oh, the bargains the purchasing com
mittee found in the hours after school.

GOOD COUNTRY A
National Government should Foster
Improvement of Land AS Well
ms Water Highways.

There is no question that bad
roads cost nearly or quite as much
as their improvement would amount
to. Probably there is no locality
which has been TO the trouble and ex-
pense of improving it's own roads,
that would not testify that the i'm
provement is worth all that it cost.
The market value of Ohio farms has
increased but three-tenths of one per
cent. in the last decade. Doubtless a
large part of this retrograde move
ment is due to inaccessibility during
a large part of the year. 1t has been
estimated that Kansas farmers lost
more than $50,0O0,O 900 in one year
through bad roads. The plan of
building specimen sections as object
lessons to communities in which they
lie, is perhaps the most persuasive
and convincing argument hat can be
arranged to educate taxpayers to the
knowledge that road improvement
means money in their pockets even
tually, and will be a good investment.
And when taxpayers get generally
aroused to the equal Importance of
good roads to good water or rail
transportation, then we shall have
our congressional committees har-
arguing and scheming for road i'm
provement appropriations with the
same zeal now displayed in asking
for river and harbor appropriations.
There really is no more reason for
obliging the local communities to
bear all the expense of road build
ing in their vicinities than for re.
quiring the vesselmen to make all
their river and harbor improvements,
The former is just as much a public
service and public improvement OF
widespread influence as the latter
1t therefore becomes the govern,
ment's business to foster the i'm.
provement of its land as well as its
water highways.-Ohio Farmer.

Klon dixie Crop Exhibits.

Those who have thought of the
Klondike as a barren, frozen waste,
incapable of growing agricultural
products, will be astonished to learn
of the fine exhibit shipped from Daw-
son City, which has been shown at
various fairs in the northwest. The
land in that region is fertile, and the
summers, while short, are warm, af-
~fording excellent opportunities for
grin farming and grazing. Clover,
oats, rhubarb, celery, cabbage, turn
Ups, carrots, beets and potatoes all
make marvellous growths in the short
season. The timber and
fisheries are vast. The pine and fir
forests afford a guaranty against a
wood pulp famine and it is believed
that within a short time the output
of the fisheries will equal in value that
Of the gold fields.

Making Preparations.

II want to get a turkey and a
bottle of paregoric, and some mince-
meat, and some pepsin pills, and some
cranberries, and some furniture pol
ish, and a quart of oysters, and a
package of court plaster, and some
sweet potatoes, and a fire insurance
policy" Here the marketman smiled
merrily and inquired: "Going to eat
all that?" NO." responded the
customer, "but the family Thanks
giving dinner occurs at my house this
year."-Baltimore American.

came twice a day, and the question:
SIS they anything for the Jenners?"
came to be a familiar sound in the post
Office, and the clerks listened for it
with much amusement, but the girl
at the window came to dread it.
She was haunted by the mournful
look that came into his eyes every time
she shook her head, and tried to con
sole him one day by saying: "Your
letter will surely come soon; you have
been expecting it so long"
Letter he said, scornfully, "Inever
said l wanted a letter; / want a bundle,
and ! wan it pretty soon, too. I've
been speeding it a long time, and-and
I'm just tired of you shaking your
head, l am" The defiant little voice
ended with something very like a sob.
The girl at the Office window was ac-
customed to hearing complaints from
people larger than Bobby, who Wanted
their mail and wanted it pretty soon,
too; but one of them had ever affected
her as this one did.
She came through the door into the
outer Office, and taking Bobby's hand
asked, kindly: Had you written to
someone to send you something's"
Seeing the look of sympathy on
her face, he told her all about it.
"You see, it's this way: Mamma used
to let me write to Santa Claus and
tell him what / wanted a Christmas

SMALL PLANT U
A System OF Heating Which Is Quite
Effective and Costs But n Quar-
ter n Day.

I have had nearly ten years ex-
perience in heating a plant house
measuring about Sx17 feet, and al
confidently recommend my method.
1 use a hot water circulation in iron
pipes, and the heating is done by
Kerosene lamps under two tin, boil
ers. The boilers are b~ell-shaped and
set up with mouth down. The hot
air, after having done it's work of
heating the water, is controlled by
a tin drum at the top of which is a
smoke pipe, by which all fumes are

and laughed, and then she showed
me his picture in the paper, and he
was a man 'thout no white beard
like Santa's, and she said they call
him guv'nor. He looked so kind and
good cut of his eyes, l just thought
maybe he would help us n little if he
knew how hard up we was this fall,
Mamma can't wash ms much as she
used -, and / can't help much yet,
so | wrote a letter to the guv'nor one
day when mamma had gone to the
Judges to help clean house. 1 made
my en-vl'up out of paper like 1 wrote
my letter on; the teacher in the first
room showed me how, but it didn't
stick good, and I'm afraid it lost my
letter out and the guv'nor didn't get
it, and it's only one more week till
Thanksgiving"
His voice trembled, and the girl
turned her head for a moment to give
him n chance to choke back his tears,
"Where did you mail your letterT'
she asked.
He pointed to q tiny crack under
the shelf of the general delivery
window. fright here" he said. 81
couldn't reach the holes where the
big folks put their letters"
The girl told him to run 1long
home and be patient, and pulling out
the stamp drawer reached in behind
it and found a crumpled paper. II
was Bohby's letter to the guv'nor.
1t dropped out of the envelope into
her lap, and she read the pitiful APP
peal; then taking a sheet of paper
she wrote:
Dear Sir: This important letter ha.
been mislaid in our office, but 1 hopt
II is not too late for you to answer 1
before Thanksgiving. Yours very truly
THE Girl at the Office Window"
She folded this inside Bobby's let
ter, fastened the corners of the
brown envelope with mucilage, ad
dressed it properly, and taking O
stamp from her stamp book put it or
the corner. She took out her purse
and counted her scanty savings; ther
she put n dime in the stamp drawer
and put a special delivery stamp OF
the brown envelope, too.
The governors mail was brought
to him at breakfast time. In the
package was the queer brown en,el
ope, and the governor opened it frs
out of curiosity. He read it through
once and smiled. He read it agar
and whistled softly; then the chill
dren called for an explanation, ant
- read aloud:

the clerks were chatting socially or
reading the morning papers.
The girl at the general delivery win
dow was startled by the sudden in
quiry: Say, is they anything for the
Jenners?"
Looking through the window she Jaw
a boy, with big, brown eyes, just on u
level with the shelf outside.
She took down the package of let
ters remaining in the general delivery
box, looked all through them, then
shook her head, and the boy turned
away with a disappointed look.
In the afternoon, after the crowd had
left the Office, he anne again and called
up the girl: rs they anything for the
Jenners yet?"
The girl shook her head, but he was
not convinced. Look for Bobby Jen-
ner," he said. Maybe you didn't look
for that name"
She knew there was no such name in
the package of letters, but to humor
the little fellow, she looked carefully
through them and answered, kind,
ly: Not yet; perhaps it will come to-
morrow"
