ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made by Many Lara
mic Citizens.

Don't mistake the Of backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys!
A Laramie resident tells you how
his can be done.
James Larson, of 615 First street,
says: owing to a strain caused by
overexerting myself l suffered a great
deal for a year or two from a pain akin
tC rheumatism in my right arm and a
dull ache in my loins. During that
time | tried different remedies. but if
had obtained any marked success |
never would have gone to the Laramie
Drug company's store for Doan's Kid
ncy Pills. They quickly, quietly and
very thoroughly created a healthy nor
nal action of the kidneys and when the
socretions from those organs becomes
normal backache ceased. I cannot
speak too highly of the merits of this
preparation"

spells with loss Of memory and ambi-
ton; they are always tired and list
less, and subjects Of every contagious

Time Tables a. GeoErnphic.,

II never realized the value of time
tables until got hold of class Of
boys old enough to take an interest in
geography" said New York public
school teacher. $50 far as the study of
maps goes, l can get better results
from the use of time tables than from
all the biographies In the market. Maps
that have been prepared for the pur-
pose of cultivating the youthful mind
in the matter of locality are Stunned
as bugbears by all except the studious
few. But just set dozen boys around
pile of time tables and tell them to 10.
cate certain cities, lakes and rivers,
and they will work like beavers and
come out letter perfect every time. For
most children time tables and accompa-
nying maps are source of unfailing
interest both In and out of school
hours. 1t is true that this unorthodox
method may give the boys exagger-
.ated ideas as to the Importance of GER
tain railroads. but they seem to get
enough good out Of the investigation
to counterfeit such impressions"

The aboriginal blacks of Australia
have queer tradition about the flood.
They say that at one time there wa, no
water on the earth at all except in the
body of IN immense frog, where men
and women could not get at it. There
was great council on the subject, and
1t was found out that If the frog could
be made to laugh the waters would run
out Of his mouth and the drought be
ended.
So several animals were made to
dance and caper before the frog to in.
duce him to laugh. but he did not even
smile, and so the waters remained in
his body. Then some one happened to
think of the queer contortions into
which the eel could twist itself, and it
was straightway brought before the
frog, and when the frog saw the wrig-
Cling he laughed so loud that the whole
earth trembled. and the waters poured
out Of his mouth in n great flood, in
which many people were drowned.
The black people were saved from
drowning by the pelican. This thought
full bird made big canoe and went
with 1t all among the islands that ap-
peared here and there above the sur
face of the water and gathered in the
black people and saved them.
