Kidney trouble.
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.

NOTIFYING ADVICE.

A federal ofhceholder tells of cam.
paigning in Kentucky with another
stump speaker. The latter thought
to make good impression in the IA
nous distillery town Of Owensboro,
and in his speech there sounded the
praises of whisky. "Why gentlemen"
said be, II have noticed in my read
ing of history and biography that you,
great men drank liquor. I toll you,
whisky makes men smart"
"What's that ?" said an old farmer
who was noted teetotaler.
"Whisky makes men SMART" reit-
Grated the orator, land l challenge
denial"
"Then," said the farmer, "you'd
better get a couple of barrels and be-
gin on it at once"

JONES' TIMlD WIFE.

Jones and his wife were going to
the theater the other evening. They
strrted out, leaving Mrs. Jones' moth
er, an old woman of eighty, and a
little girl alone in the house.
Just as they went out they noticed
a couple of suspicious looking men
lettering about the corner.
II wonder what those two toughs
are up to-" said Jones. cit certain
ly isn't anything good. Perhaps we
had better go back to the house."
But Mrs. Jones only laughed at the
idea.
"That would be foolish, Tom," she
said. 81 don't suppose they are going
to break in our house anyway"
They were certainly watching US
put on our wraps" said Jones, "and
they're watching US now"
Jones and his wife turned corner
and started over to Indiana avenue to
catch car. One of the two suspici-
GUS characters followed close behind
The other quickly disappeared. This
time Mrs. Jones was alarmed.
"Perhaps we had better go back and
telephone to the police station" she
said. II wouldn't care if they weren't
such desperate looking fellows"
Jones called up the police station
and told his story.
Cali right" said the lieutenant in
charge. "Just wait a minute. There's
couple of men on the wire now right
near you, and I'll send them over"
Presently the door bell rang and
Jones opened the door.
The two suspicious looking men
stood outside.
"The lieutenant sent US over to see
what was up" said one of them. Jones
almost tainted, but he finally asked
them in and told his story over again.
He and didn't known what else to do
"That's queer" said one Of the de-
tectives. "We were on the corner
when you came out, and we didn't see
soul. Then when you went round
the corner my partner walked that
way after you and called up the sta
tion on the box. I was talking when
you called"
"Well," said Jones, who had to get
out of it someway, II expect we got
little excited. I don't suppose there
was any real reason for it. Ny wife
is exceedingly timid," he said.

The Man In Blue.

| am the youngest son Of the l3 chill
dren of Burgermeister Kraus, of Bin
gen, and his wife Frau Maria. My
father adored music, and we were
taught to play on some instrument or
other, or else to sing, and, by my faith!
| hold we did considerable credit to
our musical education. When l was
l6 my father presented me with fine
old "Cremona," which l christened
"Fortunato,' and which eventually
became my lifelong friend and CON-
panion.
Nothing gave me greater pleasure
than to take my dear violin into the
woods and there, by the murmuring
brook, beneath the rustling trees,
dreamily improvise new melodies and
vary old ones. So greatly did my
father delight in our accomplishments
that he organized an amateur concert
every Thursday afternoon, at which at
least quarter of the town assisted to
admire or criticise about as much music
as could be crowded into three hours
performance, divided into two equal
parts by tray Of light refreshments
handed round by Karl and myself.
One fine autumn afternoon, just as
our first sonata was concluded, a very
singular looking individual entered the
concert room. He was as thin and
pale as an apparition and entirely
dressed in shabby garments Of light
blue corduroy. His well-worn knee
breeches were blue, his jacket was
blue, his vest was blue, and the hugh
cravat that fastened his great tapping
shirt collar was also of varied and
faded shades of blue. He had big
hooked nose, thin, hungry-looking jaws;
and the only redeeming feature that
he possessed were his dark and intelli-
gent eyes, and these were hidden by a
pair of blue spectacles. His long, un-
trimmed hair was ginger red, and his
beard, verify believe, had never been
cut since it first began to grow
He did not attempt to apologize for
his intrusion, but without looking to
the right or to the left made straight
for vacant seat and began 70 pay
marked attention to the music. 1t
was my turn to play, but l was so con-
fused, so utterly dumbfounded by the
appearance Of this strange creature
that when l struck my violin with the
bow my hand trembled so that could
not produce a single note. Again and
again l tried, and at last was about to
give it up in despair when the man in
blue rose from his seat and came
straight to me. "Young man." he
said, "you have a more difficult instru-
ment there than you think. Hand it
to me and l will play in your stead.
| mechanically gave him "Fortunato''
and he at once commenced his per-
formancc. Never had / heard such
playing before. The instrument seemed
to receive from his bow soul capable
of expressing every emotion,
| should have mentioned that we
were on the eve of our grand annual
musical festival at which some of the
greatest musicians of Germany had
announced their intention of attending

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance Of
health causes serious trouble. No.
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the
least imprudence brings on sickness,
weakness, or debility. The system
needs tonic, Graves it, and should
not be denied it; and the best tonic Of
which we have any knowledge is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this medi-
cine has done in keeping healthy peo-
pie healthy, in keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as preventive that it en-.
joys as a cure. Its early use has
illustrated the wisdom of the old say.
ing that stitch in time saves nine.
Take Hoods for appetite, strength, and
endurance.
