He Feels Good.

Caddo, KY, July POI believe l

ing long breath" is the way William
J, Ball of this place describes how he is
feeling.
AS Mr.. Ball has been on the sick list
for long time, this declaration from
him comes as quite surprise.
When asked to explain how he had
become so strong in such short time,
he says:
Il did have Kidney Trouble very
bad, in fact had to get up four or five
times every night to urinate. 1 had
,shortness of breath which distressed
me terribly. l was badly used up, and
, was really of no account for anything.
Il used three boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and that's what has made
me well. l can sleep all night without
having to get up. l feel splendid and
as I said before, believe could climb
a mountain without drawing long
breath. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all"

a New Field for YOUNG wo nen.

Harpers Weekly: A considerable
number Of young women. according to
a rural observer, are engaged in the
poultry business, and seem, from all
accounts, to be making q success o2Sit.
A correspondent tells of being in a
Chicago dry goods store on a Saturday
afternoon, not long ago, when she saw
one of the sales girls receive her wages
for the week. She was paid 81, hav-
Ing been in her place from o'clock i'll

to be well and more or less expensive

and to keep her temper and self pos
session, frequently under trying cir
cumstances. On the other hand, says
our observer, take the case Of the
farmer girl. None makes less than So
per week, and many make IS. They
work only two or three hours day;
their surroundings are conducive TO
good health and cheerfulness, and they
can dress as they feel inclined. The
writer mentions the case Of two young
girls who sold last year an average Of
SIS worth of eggs every week during the
spring and summer. Nor did they sell
all they might have disposed Of, for
they raised over 400 young chickens.

Sleeping in the morning light!'

All the flowers are airing take,
And before they see your eyes
They have calls from butterflies!
While the fairy-winged sweet peas
Invite the golden belted bees
To their breakfast In the shade,
Playing pretty waiter-maid
The cows are eating clover top,
The farmer tending to his crops;
Cocks are Growing hens are feeding,
F!ocks of fluffy chickens leading,
Listen, how the brooklet babbles,
Washing smooth it's shining pebbles,
Iak1ng pictures of the sky,
Talking with the dragon-ay,
Everything is wide awake
Hear the crickets in the brake!

Say, Has It come to such a pass,
That the children sleep so late,
AS we heard the robin state?'
Oh, who would be sleepy head,
Lying In a stuffy bed?

CHAPTER II.
I AM WARNED.

AM WARMED.
The dusk was falling as drew up
before the inn of Rhayader. 1 dis
mounted, and the landlord, who was
standing at his door, came to greet
me. He called the hostler to lead my
horse to the stable, and went with
the man to see Whitesock made COM
Portable. AS I stood in the entrance
of the outbuilding, a pony clattered
into the yard behind me. A man came
out of the house and hailed the rider,
and the conversation which followed
was Of much interest to me. BY their
talk, the men were English drovers,
and the newcomer averred, with many
round imprecations, that he was
thankful to see the signs of fire and
food once more; that such was the
tangle Of hills and ravines beyond the
place that he had lost his way hope
lessly, and had it not been for a lucky
glimpse of the lights of the village, he
must have spent the night upon the
mountains.
thought over this and saw that the
girl In gray knew well what she spoke
OF when she advised a guide. If this
man whose business trained him to
find his way about in all kinds of track
less places had lost his bearings, how
should l fare, an utter stranger to
mountain wilds? After all, reflected,
I had thrown off my enemies clean
enough by now; would have a guide

landlord in the passage.

lights on the table and drew down the
red blind at the window.
Landlord" said I, do you know a
place called Nant-y-Bryn? ?"
Yes, indeed, sir. very well; Sir Ar
thur Vaughan lives there
Il wish to go to it." said I. Can you
find me a guide?"
The man bit his lips and reflected.
WELL" said he, Slowly, there are
plenty who know the road, but they
have no English; that would be awk-
ward, perhaps"
Certainly; I have no Welsh" re-
turned.
Il have the man." cried the landlord,
"Rees Price, the saddler, three doors
above us on this same street. He knows
that country well, and can speak the
English"
II will go and see him after supper"
I said.
The landlord withdrew to see after
the meal, and looked about the room,
saw second door on the opposite
side and crossed to it. It opened di-
rectly on the street, to which the win
dow also looked. AS stood the
doorway, clatter Of hoofs arose and
my acquaintance Of the afternoon
rode up. I thought they were coming
to the inn, for they drew rein opposite
to me; but no, the doors of a house on
the other side of the way opened to
receive them, and the ponies were led
down passage at the side. MY supper
now arrived, and sat down to it and
made great play after my long ridt
through the winter afternoon.

F New York Herald: Workmen have be-

old place famous in New York's annals

OF the original Five Points of historic
memories two of the points were formed
by Baxter street, one by Worth, one by
Park and one by Mulberry. The houses
about to be demolished include six in
Worth street and five in Baxter, the lat

old oyster saloon which for fifty years or
more has stood facing Jimmy Oliver's
