AMUSEMENT FOR THE ARMY.
Hsped TO Prevent Desertions and Con-
sole Soldiers for Loss of canteep.

HGped 10 Prevent Desertions and Con-
sole Soldiers for Loss of canteep.
Amusement halls are to be pro-
vided for the soldiers of the army at
the cost Of the government, says the
Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Record, to replace in
part the advantages taken from them
by the adjustment Of the canteen
TWO years ago. the privileges Of which
have been sorely missed by the troop
ers.
II the records for desertion and
petty offences are compared this year
with those of last year, it would APP
pear as If the abolition of the canteen
had other than a wholesome effect
upon the morals Of the service.
Last session, in orner to provide
reading rooms. gymnasiums and rec.
reation halls which the profit of the
canteen allowed, Congress authorized
an appropriation of half million dol
lars to establish amusement halls at
the army posts throughout the coun-
try, and a board Of officers will short
ly be appointed to visit the various
posts. In many cases it will be neces-
sary to erect a special building for
this purpose. Al other places it viii
be possible to utilize buildings already
in existence
The abolition Of the canteen feature
of the post exchange materially re-
duced the revenue from that source,
and it has become necessary for the
government to provide some means
Of entertaining the soldiers when they
are of duty.

DON'T GIVE UP.

Don't be discouraged by past ef.
forts to find relief and cure from the
myriads Of ills that come from sick
kidneys. You may pass nights OF
sleepless tossing, annoyed by frequent
urination. Your back may ache like
toothache or sudden twltches and
twinges Of backache pain make life a
misery. Perhaps you have nervous
spells, are weak, tired-out, depressed.
There is a cure for all Of this and for
every trouble OF the bladder and kid
neys. Read this case and note it
tells how well the cure was tested:

began taking them and made a pub
lie statement Of the result. At that
time / had suffered with Iameness
and soreness Of the bacE, which was
so excruciating that I could scarcely
turn in bed, and Doan's Kidney Pills
completely cured this trouble. / am

ALARMING THE YOUNG MAN.
One Way Of Keeping Possible Suitors at a
Distan e.

1t was the second time that the
hero of the story had accompan-
led the young lady home. She
asked him if he wouldn't come
in. He said he would.
Sarah took his hat, told him to
sit down, and left the room.
She was hardly gone before
her mother came in, smiled
sweetly, and, dropping down be-
side the young man, said:
81 always did say that if a
poor but respectable young man
fell in love with our Sarah, he
should have my consent"
The young man started with
alarm.
"She has acknowledged to me
that she loves you," continued
the mother, "and whatever is
for her happiness is for mine."
"I-I haven't" stammered the
young man.
"Oh, never mind; make no
apology. l know you haven't
much money, but, of course,
you'll live in my house,"
81 had no idea Of" he began.
81 know you hadn't, but it's
all right" continued Sarah's
mamma, reassuringly. "With
your wages and what the board
ers will bring in we shall get
along as comfortably as posi-
ble."
The young mans eyes stood
out like hat pegs, and he rose up
and tried to say something.
''Never mind about thanks"
she cried; 81 don't believe in
long courtships. The Goth Of
May is my birthday, and it would
be nice for you to be married on
that day."
But-but-but," he gasped.

And what good has been ac-
complished by all this expendi-
ture of money? The mines of
Hopkins county are no nearer
being organized now than they
were is months ago. There is
not a mine that is not running
with a full force of men and or
ders coming in for coal faster
than the order can be filled. Not
more than 10 percent of the men
who were at work in the mines
at the time of the advent of the
Nine Workers ever joined the
organization, while the places of
those who quit work have been
filled without the least trouble
to the operators. 1t is a fact
that for every man who has
thrown up his job, that two men
have been ready to fill his va
cancy. There is not now mine
in the county but has every man
it needs for the successful man
agement of its business.-Glenn's
