An Old Lady's Discovery.

Garrett, Ark, May 1Sth.-For 10
years Mrs. Mary Dunlop of this place
has suffered with Kidney trouble,
which was so bad at times that it
made her life a burden. She tried
much medicine and many treatments,
but got no better.
At last, however. Mrs. Dunlop,
claims to have found a perfect rem
edy, and she is so pleased at the won
derful cure she herself has received,
that she is telling all her friends and
praising the medicine to everyone
she meets.
The name of this medicine is
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and it has done
wonderful work for Mrs. Dunlop.
Everybody is talking about it. and
some people are claiming to have
been cured of Rheumatism by it.
A Mrs. Garrett who lives in Brazils,
this state, was at the point of death
with some Cerebro-Spinal trouble
and was saved by Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
1t is certain that no other medicine
ever introduced here has done so
much good in such a short time.

Ambition is a whip; contentment,
a beautiful aromatic flower that never
fades. Often lives are ruined by
desire to be great. Cultivate in your
boy or girl desire to aspire to lofty
things, but teach also that content
ment is greater even than success,
for success without contentment is
dross. Inculcate in the youth the love
of country. Take from his eyes the
film of tinsel that makes city life
attractive. The young man who has
forty acres of good farm land is bet
ter off than the city resident with
clerkship or a $4,000 salaried position
in the city. About the latter is tempta-
ton, smoke, filth, suffering, lewdness
and the hundred and one things that
we regret in the cities. On the farm
is health and pure air, clean associa-
lions, elevating influences. 1t is not
all sentiment that pictures the cottage
in the foreground of a good acreage.
There is more to the flowers, the in
dependency, the gurgling brook, the
singing birds, the neighborly sympa-
thies, the shelter from the inclemen-
cies of life, than those who scoff, feign
to believe. Be not deceived by the
glitter and the candelabra of the me-
tropolis. The age has not yet come,
and undoubtedly never will, when life
in the city can outbalance for pure
enjoyment and satisfied living the life
in the country. Ennui enters the pal
ace on the hilltop, just as it does the
log cabin in the vale, and the Texan
cattle have long been noted for their
attenuated horns.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Sept. 25.-Does
the ghost of Herman Neitzell walk?
If you ask any one of the five men
comprising the section crew OF the
Great Northern just east of Sauk Cen
ter he will answer in the affirmative
and involuntarily shudder as he makes
reply.
Neitzell was killed by the cars two
weeks ago between Sank Center and
Melrose. 1t is believed that seven
trains passed over his mangled re-
mains before they were found by the
section crew in the gray of an early
morning and taken to Melrose, where
an inquest was held. The grewsome
sight that met the gaze of the crew has
not been forgotten, for they say that
every day they see the ghost of poor
Neitzell walk down the railway track
Neitzell was young carpenter liy-.
ing at Evansville, and it Is said that
there is positive evidence that he
bought a ticket at Evansville for Mel
rose, and that he had $40 in money in,
his clothing. When his mangled re-
mains were examined at the improyis-

rewarded the searchers. The fact In
dicates robbery, and the theory pre-
walls that Neitzell was held up and,
robbed and then thrown from the train
to conceal the evidence of crime.
Tramps are naturally suspected of the
deed
And now the section men maintain
that the unquiet spirit of the murdered
man haunts the place where he met so
horrible a death. They say that in
the early morning, and toward even
ing, as they approach the place where
the body was found, the mans wrath
may be seen walking steadily down
the railway track until he comes to
the place where he met his end and
then 1t suddenly vanishes into moth
ingness. The section men are intelli-
gent and their statements are founded
on an absolute belief in what they say.
Money cannot hire them to go over the
track alone at any time during the
day and when nightfall is coming down
the whole crew manifest an uneasiness
in approaching the spot that is thrill
ing. The section men make no effort
to explain. Seeing is believing with
them, and they do not care to investi-
gate too fully.
