repairer on the Northern Pacific rail

ject to kidney trouble for quite a
while and during that time took diff

but without much success. There
was a dull, tired aching in the small
of his back over the kidneys, accom-
panied with other very marked symp
toms of kidney trouble. He read OF
Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box al
the Chapple Drug Co.'s store, corner
of Montana avenue and Twenty-eighth
street, and obtained prompt relief
from it's use. Anyone who will
give this remedy a trial cannot hell

ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY.
I8Io.April 76.I0o3.

One of the best sermons on Oddfellow-
ship we have ever listened to was deliver
ed last Sunday morning at the Christian
church by Rev. E. L. Davidson, the pas
tor, member Of the order. The place
was we'll filled and close attention of the
audience marked the interesting and
eloquent discourse from beginning to end
the occasion being the observance of the
S4th anniversary of the greatest benevo-
lent organization the world has ever
known;
"The little beginning in the obscure
tavern in Baltimore has been fraught
with results which those who then parti-
cipated in that gathering little thought.
1t was the beginning of movement that
was to extend to almost every civilized
nation upon the earth. Within its lodge
rooms are today hailed by over a million
and quarter of men and women bound
together by the same faith, with same
hopes and animated by the same great
charity. Not yet century old. and yet
known of all the world as the greater
Order, under whose ministrations the
wants of millions have been relieved,
whose love has dried up the fountains
of tears of the bereft, and whose traternal
arms hold up the orphan and fit him for
lite Of usefulness. 1t is meet that the
natal day Of such an order should every
where receive just recognition and all
should sing its praise.
"Odd Fellowship looks forward to
time when the law of Brotherhood will
bind all nations of the earth, time when
war shall cease and strife shall be no
more; time when greed and selfshness
shall yield their place to love; time
when the Golden Rule shall be mans
guide to be followed in all the relations
Of life. With face turned toward this
hoped for time. Odd Fellowship entered
the century more than million strong.
Augmented by the forces of kindred fra
ternities. it is marching forward toward
that looked for day whose millenial dawn
has been the dream of prophet. poet and
sage. through all past ages. The church
is awake as never before, to the great
fact that Gods Fatherhood includes
mans brotherhood and are ready to unite
with fraternities to bring to pass the
prayer of the carpenter of Nazareth. who
said, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven" Before
such forces mems standards of success
must change; goodness shall be sought
rather than gold, and men shall learn the
lessons taught so many centuries ago.
that he is the greatest who serves the
best"

A Furious Battle Between Two OF
the Big Birds.

A Furious Battle Between Two of
the Big Birds.
A small party of gentlemen, most all
Of whom had tinges of sporting procliv-
tiles in their blood, were discussing the
subject of chicken fighting. An old
farmer from Rappahannock county,
Va, broke into the conversation.
Gentlemen" said he, 'in4gSly time l
have seen some bang up chicken fights,
but the greatest fight L ever saw be-
tween birds in all my, born days was a
contest between a bald eagle and a
gray eagle near my old place in Kappa
hammock.
This fight took place on the bank Of
the river. couldn't forget it if lived
to be as old as Methuselah. / was the
only spectator and saw the struggle
from start to finish. The bald eagle
had caught a muskrat and was about
to eat it for breakfast when the gray
eagle scared down and attempted to
rob the other one of Its FAey. Then
commenced the combat, and, Lord, how
the feathers flew! They fought with
wings, peaks anu JdIOIlS, anu 4 COulO
hear the talons crack when they struck
and tore each other. The sounds made
by their wings as they buffeted one an
other were like explosions of musketry,
while their screams and yells sounded
demoniacal. The battle lasted fully
fifteen minutes and wound up with a
victory for old badly, who drove the
gray eagle away and then resumed his
interrupted breakfast.
ooh, yes, there are a great many ca
giles up in my part of the state" said
the old agriculturist in reply to ques-
ton. There are plenty of high rocks
and lofty trees wherein they build
their nests. We farmers do not give
them any latitude, however. Whenever
one of these big birds is seen soaring
about the poultry yard, or, in fact any
where about the farm, it's Johnnie, get
your gun,' because it not infrequently
happens-that good sized chickens, young
lambs or little pigs are carried away by
them, so they're very unwelcome visit

YACHT RACING.
This Expensive sport Was Begun In
England In 1862.

This Expensive sport Was Begun In
England In 1862.
Though vessels answering to the
character of yachts were in use by
royal personages from an early date
Queen Elizabeth, for instance, had one
built at Cowes, Isle of Wight, in 1888
the word yacht was not used until
the year 1860, when the Dutch present
ed "jacht' named the Mary to
Charles H., says the London Chroni-
Gle. In Evelyn's Diary, under Oct. /,
1861, occurs the entry, Il sailed this
morning with his majesty in one of his
yachts, vessels not known among us
till the Dutch East India company pre-
scented that curious piece to the king,
being very excellent sailing vessels"
Yacht racing commenced in 1862,
when Charles H., who had some yachts
built for him by Sir Phineas PETIT,
wagered $500 that yacht of his would
beat Dutch one owned by his brother,
the Duke of York, afterward James II.
But the growth of yacht sailing was
slow, and 1t is not until 1920 that an
authentic record of yacht club is
found, in which year the Cork Harbor
Water club now known. as the Royal
Cork Yacht club, was formed. In 1872
a similar club, the Yacht club, was
formed at Cowes by some fifty yachts
men. This club In 1920 attracted the
notice Of the Duke Of Clarence, after
ward William ", when its title was
altered to the Royal Yacht squadron,
Cowes. Fourteen years later William
w. presented the first royal cup to this
club. But in 1851 only 500 yachts were
in existence. Since the international
yacht race of that year the increase in
the number has been immense.
In America, the Chronicle says, 'the
sport may be said to have commenced
in 1914, in which year the New York
Yacht club was formed, and the his
tory Of that club is practically the his
