Kaiser complimented the new Chinese
Minister on his excellent German, the
Oriental replied:

number Of your majesty's soldiers, one
of whom, thinking that [ would not I'M
derstand him, took the liberty to adj
dress me as follows:
"'Wait, you Chinese baggage-if ever

"'Shut up, you Berlin weiss-bier pot,

will knock all your teeth into your

ister. eff you yourself had addressed

A BOYS Victory.

Crossroads, Tenn, Sept 14.-Orbra
Young, the 10-year-old son of Lester
Young, of this place, is q bright boy,
and one who is very well liked by ali
who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered
a great deal with a form Of Kidney
Trouble which was very annoying, and
which made him miserable all the
time. He had to get up three or four
times every night, almost all his life.
His father heard Of a remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and bought some
for the little fellow, with the result
that he is now completely cured Of the
old trouble. He says:
"Dodds Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief, and now l can sleep all
night without having to get up. We
will always praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles.
These disorders should be promptly
corrected Dodd's Kidney Pills is a
safe and sure remedy for all such de-
rangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made we'll boy of HIM
self, by using Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and any one may do the same by the
same means.
Parents should see to it that their
children are given fair chance in
life, and there is nothing that can I'M
dermine the health of growing child
as much as Kidney and Urinary de-
rangements.

The Greek Executioner.

In Greece the death penalty is said to
be often pronounced, but the difficulty
Of obtaining executioners was for a
long time insuperable, says letter
from Athens In a London print. 1t
was at last surmounted by giving to
a murderer the choice between his
own death or acceptance Of the office
Of permanent executioner. The man
lives alone in an old tower built by
Venetians on an islet outside the port
of Nauplia, where necessaries are
taken to him every morning by the
boatman, who Is careful to exchange
no word with him. Twice a year q
steamship calls for him and his instru-
ments Of death, and he leaves upon a
tour of executions.
