The Question Answered.

Estill Springs, Tenn, Aug. 24th.-
Many questions are being asked of
Mr.. G. d. Holt Of this place in regard
to his wonderful recovery. For over
two years he has been down with his
back. He was so very bad that he
could not even lace his shoes, and
from this condition he suddenly ap-
peared we'll and strong as ever.
1t is no wonder therefore that his
friends are asking him How did you
do it,"
He tells them ALL "Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it." and adds This remedy
is genuine good medicine and one
that l can heartily recommend to
everybody.
Everyone around here knows how
very bad l was. was so weak in
my back that couldn't do anything
that needed stopping or bending over,
and three boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills made me as you see, as well as
ever was"
"They certainly had a wonderful
effect on my case"

Ideals.


I look to find Perfection; and the mock.
ing stars disclose
A soiled spot on the lily and canker in
the rose,
A lovely woman burdened with self-con-
sciou9 unrepose.
I look for Wisdom: and see a preach
err, fresh from school,
Lay off the way to heaven with a COM
pass and a rule
A doctor that's a charlatan-a teacher
that's fool.
I look for Virtue; men are flies, who lose
their souls for honey;
The women see their dragged wings and
laugh and think It's funny
And scOrn their fallen slsters-and wed q
man for money!
1 look for Inspiration; from what cess
pools poets pump It!
Why. even Kipling tootles on penny
pewter trumpet
And Homer sang the Trojan war-a
struggle for strumpet!
l look for Honor; stay awhlle-what hon
est men are these?
A politician out for plums, lawyer out
for fees
Go to- m get a lantern and join do
look for Gods; find poor things that
make the angels weep
Jehovah killing Canaanites and eating
slaughtered sheep,
And Jove debauching women and Bud
dha sound asleep!
Perfection, Wisdom, Virtue. Inspiration.
HOnor-puff!
They all SO up in smoke-they're made
of very fragile stuff
And yet I'll find them II keep on look
ing long enough

TRAGEDY OF THE CAUCASUS.
Peasant Murdered His Son "at the
Command of God"


III the village of Bayandour, in the
Caucasus, lives man named Ivan
Aslamazoff, who a few weeks ago
started the community by cutting the
throat Of his seven-months-old son on
the threshold of the church. He was
at once arrested and taken before q
Judge, whereupon he gave an extraor'
binary explanation of his conduct.
A few years ago, he said, he was
very sick, and one night st. John ap-
peared to him in a dream and took
him into valley, where he saw God
seated on a throne Of gold. The Al
mighty, he continued, then said to
him: Ivan, l will restore your good
health to you, but in time you will
have son, and as soon as he is sew
en- months old you must offer him up
as sacrifice" Aslamazoff said that
many times since then he had prayed
God to spare his son, but that, as the
Almighty made no response, he con-
sidered 1t his duty to sacrifice him.
His story made great impression
on the people. and the general opinion
was that he had acted like a saint and
that the authorities had no right to
arrest him.-New York Herald.

GOT TO
Have Sharp Brains Nowadays or Drop
Back.

The man Of to-day no matter what
his calling, needs a sharp brain and
to get this he needs food that not only
gives muscle and strength but brain
and nerve power as well.
A carpenter and builder OF Mar
Quette, Mich, who is energetic and
wants to advance in his business,
read an article about food In a re-
ligious paper and in speaking Of his
experience he said: up to three
year ago had not been able to study
or use my thinking powers to any ex-
tent. There was something lacking
and / know now that 1t was due to
the fact that my food was not rebuild
ing my brain.
About this time began the use

His Eyes Opened

When Natalie Hall married Clarke
Dexter the people who prophesied that
she would not be happy were so
very much in the minority that no oVo
paid heed to them.
"Dexter's opinion of himse,s will
have to be whitfield down several
inches before he'll make any woman's
life what it ought to be-" one man had
said.
But. every one knew that the
speaker would gladly have stood in
Dexter's shoes, so he did not count.
Nevertheless, not many months had
passed before a vague uncertainty be-
gan to grow in the heart of Natalie
Dexter, which, had the minority known
1t, would have caused them to exclaim
complacently, 81 told you sol"
AS to Dexter, while still very much
in love WITH his wife, he frankly ad-
mitted to himself that a woman OF
more penetration, in other words, one
more keenly alive to the rare intellect
ual qualities Of Clarke Dexter at
torney at law, might have proved a
more congenial companion.
1t was warm day in early summer
After a hard five hours in court Dex-
ter assembled the steps of the pretty
suburban villa which he called home
somewhat before his usual time. With
the jangle of the day still on his
nerves he dropped into a low chair on
the piazza.
Presently his own name reached him
as through a haze. Dexter opened his
eyes lazily, realizing that for mo-
ment he had been blessedly uncon-
scious.
But surely, dear, you and Clarke
are very happy?"
The repeated question, coming
through an open window where the
air softly stirred some light draperies,
pricked him into complete wakefV
ness. An aunt OF his wife, who had
been to her as a mother, was visiting
them. Dexter recognized her voice.
He found himself listening intently
for the reply. 1t came gradually.
IF you mean do we get on, Aunt
Grace, suppose we do, as we'll as
nine.tenths of the people we know,
perhaps"
But, my dear, that is different from
the married life l had hoped for you"
1T is different from the married life
I had hoped for myself"
Dexter sat up. too annoyed to realize
that he was listening to a converse
ton not meant for his ears.
"The fact is" Natalie Dexter
paused.
what, dear?"
at seems abomlnable to say, but
you are the only mother | have ever
known. There would be a greater
chance of happiness for Clarke and
me tiff something occurred to disll-
lusionize him little with his own at.
tainments."
Had Clarke Dexter walked against
a stone wall on a clear day he would
not have so surprised as he was By
these words in his wife's voice.
But, my dear, Clarke has surrey
some right to feel complacent with LIS
attachments. Not yet 30, and fast

Lassoed the Lunatlc.

Half a dozen Mexican cowboys rode
into Douglas, Ari., recently, having In
charge a wild man whom they had cap
tured in Sonora, twelve miles below
Cos. The mans hair was long and dis.
heveled, his eyes were set far back in
his head and his clothes were torn into
shreds. The cowboys came upon him
In the mountains near a pool Of water
and had great difficulty in capturing
him. When he finally was caught with
a lssso tne cowboys bound him hand
and foot, tied him on horse and rode
with him to Frontieras. Later the
cowboys took him to Douglas and
turned him over to the American au-
thoritles.

EX-sPEAKER REEDS FORTUNE.
His Literary as Well as Legal Work
Paid Him Handsomely.

The fact that the late Thomas B.
Reed left an estate Of $431, 900, after
all Indebtedness had been discharged,
was a matter Of surprise to people
generally, writes William e. Curtis
in the Chicago Record-Herald. Mr..
Reed always pretended to be very
poor, but some of his intimate friends
were convinced long ago that his pov.
erty was an affectation, because they
knew Of large fees received by him
from time to time for legal services
and literary work. He never wrote
line or made speech for nothing.
Each Of the many articles which
from time to time appeared in the
magazines from his pen brought him
$500, and | know of one instance at
least in which he received 500 from
New York newspaper for an inter-
view he prepared with himself upon
a current topic. His lectures brought
him $500 a night, and occasionally in
large cities like New York and Boston
he received $1,000. The year be-
fore he left Congress he delivered
five lectures in one week. for which
he received a check for $500.
He estimated his legal services at
very high value, and unless his
clients made bargain with him in
advance they were sure to be sur
prised when they received their bills.
There Is a story that, while in Lon
don some years ago, he charged John
" and c. B. Farwell Of Chicago $4,000
for giving some information to their
English solicitor about the laws Of
the United States bearing on the sale
of their Texas lands, and l know
where he made life enemy Of one
Of his closest friends by sending him
bill for advice given on a legal
question In what was supposed to be
friendly conversation.

Three Kinds of Poor.

One of the patriarchs among the
Baptists of this country was Rev. A.
h Bell. He was leader of the earlier
generation Of its clergymen, believing
that charity was only half done I'M
less a smile or a jest went with it.
He was a great worker among the poor
and upon one occasion at a public
gathering was Unexpectedly called
upon to speak on The Poor in Large
Cities. DR.. Bell arose solemnly and be-
gan: Ladies and gentlemen, there
are three kinds Of poor. There are the
Lords poor, the DEVILS poor and the
poor devils. This will conclude my ad.

More than once he had risen and
