Rutledge, Mimi, Feb. 16th.-Mr. E..
G. Getchell of this place relates q
happy experience which will be read
with interest by all those who have a
similar trouble.
1t appears that last winter Mr..
Getchell was seized with a lameness
and soreness in his back which grew
worse and worse till at last it became
very bad and made it very difficult for
him to get about at all
After time he heard of a new
remedy for backache which some of
his friends and neighbors said had
cured them and he determined to try
it. The name of the remedy is Dodd's
Kidney Pills and Mr. Getchell has
proven that it is a sure cure He says:
81 used two boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills according to directions and my
lame back was entirely cured and |
am all o. K. again. Dodd's Kidney
Pills are as good as represented"
This remedy is very popular here
and has worked some remarkable
cures Of Backache and Kidney
Trouble.

Mountain Sickness,

No doctor yet has ever accounted
for the cause of mountain sickness, a
malady infinitely more distressing and
more lasting in its effects than sea
sickness 1t is only in comparatively
very high attitudes that mountain
sickness attacks the climber. To pre-
monitory symptoms are an uncontroll-
able attack Of nervousness. Though
the mountaineer may be in a place
that is absolutely safe, he feels when
attacked by this sickness that his
last hour has come. AS a rule he
lies nat down and shouts for help.
Then he gets violently sick, and
usually weeps. During the making
Of the railway to Jungfrau several
medical men made various expert
ments to ascertain the actual cause
OF this mountain sickness, but with.
out much result. Like seasickness 1t
seems to attack all sorts and condi.
lions of people. and those who do not
suffer from it are seriously enough Of
ten the most nervous.

.AROYAL SCANDAL IN SAX0NY;
RECALLS A BIT OF HISTORY.

make young Eginhart a count, and
some weeks later marry him to his
daughter Emma.
Married Young Eginhart.
The engagement with the duke,
whom her father intended placing on
the throne of Saxony, was. therefore,
broken off and he was shelved in favor
of another aspirant to the latter honor,
who became prince of the Saxons. The
story might perhaps have sounded bet
ter had he conferred the Saxon crown
on Eginhart, but the Saxons we're an
unruly people and half heathens at best,
and they would have rebelled had he
undertaken to give them an ex-secre-
tary, a base-born scribbler, as their
ruler. They were accustomed to owing
allegiance to one who welded the
sword instead Of the pen and who spill
ed blood in preference to ink. SO in
order to satisfy all parties he gave the
Saxons a ruler after their own heart,
created dIchy for the rejected sutton,
and made Eginhart count Of Erbach.
Then the two 'lived happily ever after
ward" as the fairy tales conclude.
It is perhaps worth mentioning that
today some of the noblest families Of
both France and Germany trace their
descent back to Eginhart and the Lady
Emma, and that, in addition. this was
one of the few cases during the Middle
Ages where the law that prevented COM
moners from wedding those Of royal
blood was broken. Thus the first act In
the drama Of Saxon history was played
by an erratic and willful princess bent
on overturning old and established Gus
tom, while other have since then torn
the little kingdom up by the roots by
acts quite as sensational as the fore
going, the present crown princess being
the last to keep up the reputation of a
kingdom which began with the es-
capade of lady Of the blood royal

What the Lord Mayor of London Doe.

What the Lord Mayor of London Does
The new lord mayor of London is a
Jew. Unlike a great many OF the
chosen people in England, Sir Marcus
Samuel is also practicing Jew, proud
of his race, publicly devoted to his
faith. The lord mayor is not the all
powerful official he Is thought TO be on
the continent He Is not the mayor Of
all London, but only Of the city OF Lon
don, and the Getty" is but fraction Of
the whole. Greater London has, rough
", a population Of 100000, but in the
$50 acres that comprise the "city" there
is a resident population at night Of only
$4,000, and by day OF little over 300,-
900. II is as though Seth Low ruled
New York only from the city hall to
Wall street, and some other authority
looked after the rest. And even within
this area the powers OF the lord mayor
and Of the &c aldermen and the 200 odd
common councillors are by no means
autocratic Much of what used to lie
within his and their province has been
taken over by the London county coun-
ell. In fact, the average Londoner never
thinks Of the lord mayor as an edlct-
making, law-giving Official. He stands
altogether apart, in the popular mind,
from questions Of rates and assess
ments, schools and police. Very few
people could say what legislative func-
lions, II any. he fulhlls. They may have
heard that he is the chief magistrate
OF the courts, but beyond that their
knowledge OF his precise duties does
not stray. II is the social and decora-
tive side Of his position that impresses
the public The lord mayor is never
without his badge and rarely without
his robes and chains Of Office. He rides
abroad in a magnihcently gilded coach,
with powdered coachmen and footmen
in cooked hats and silk knee-breeches,
sending a CLEAN Of gold through the
dirty drab OF London. The lord mayors
show on Nov. is one Of England's few
annual pageants, and, uncouth a. Il f..
has a warm place In the hearts OF the
populace. And, besides all this, he has
some rights and privileges Of 400 years
standing. No troops may pass the city
boundaries without his leave. The Gov
ereIgn himself has to ask for permits
sion to enter the city walls. Just as he
has to ask for permission TO enter the
house Of commons.-Hsrper's Weekly.
