A. A. Boyce, a farmer, living three
and half miles from Trenton, Mo-.
says: "a severe cold settled in my kid
neys and developed so quickly that
was obliged to lay of work on account
of the aching in my back and sides.
For time was unable to walk at all,
and every makeshft tried and all the
medicine 1 took had not the slightest
effect. My back continued to grow
weaker until was unfit for anything.
Mrs. Boyce noticed Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised as sure cure for just
such conditions, and one day when in
Trenton she brought box home from
Chas. A. Fosters drug store. l fol-
lowed the directions carefully when
taking them and I must say l was
more than surprised and much more
gratifed to notice the back ache dis
appearing gradually until it finally
stopped"

About fortnight ago, in a bleak

Fifty-sixth street, the dead body Of
a man was found, writes Tip in the
New York Press. 1t had been cold for
five days and was in state of decom-
position. The police being informed,
1T was duly sent to the morgue, where
the name "Hardy"-discovere by
letter in the pocket Of the coat-was
recorded. The initials were destroyed,
therefore the identity of Hardy was in
doubt. A man Of the name Of w. ].
Hardy was missed from his usual
haunts, and as he had been school

John B. Mayo, that gentleman made
inquiry concerning him. Some one
mentioned Hardy at the morgue; the

old friend, rotting on slab. In an
other day the body would have been

Straw Hats Need Brushing.

"Its strange thing" said the ha\
man, after he had sold a three-dollar
Panama to an upstate man, that men
who brush a derby or soft hat every
day never put brush to straw hat.
There is no reason for the neglect.
Straw hats need brushing more often
than the others, for the dust clings to
them and Is more noticeable. II you
brush your straw hat every day, and
scrub it with a stiff brush dipped in
tepid water once or twice a season, 1t
will last two years with proper care"

COTTON GOSSIP

Continued manipulation; good cables and
heavy receipts kept up the bull movement
in cotton yesterday and the market was
strong all day, closing at top figures
and with a very strong tone. AS near as
could be estimated, 10000 notices have
been issued and most OF them were taken
care OF.
J. S. Bache s. Co: Tho course Of Tues
days market showed that the offers OF
a prominent bull leader to provide posi-
tons on January cotton were made good:
and While $4,000 bales Of notices TO deliver
were issued with smashing intent, the
market instead Of yielding, advanced,
January leading the upward movement
1t is now declared that the parties issuing
the notices have made their position

other directions already, a phase OF the
situation suggested by the special
strength Of the January position"

OUTLOOK FOR MONEY.

The last day Of the year finds the
money situation very different from that
which was pictured by alarnists few
weeks ago.
The banks have pursued very wise
course in making their preparations Tor
the January disbursements.
First they gave notice that the $4,000 600
pool had been formed to b6 loaned at
the market If an emergency should arise
calling for such action. This prevented
bidding up, money rates for the purpose
of depressing the stock market
Then they eSerted a steady pressure
for the reduction of loans and against the
creation of new commitments. The ac-
tual decrease in loans for the past three
weeks is $6115.5o0. If tins had been forced
in a single week, under existing condl-
tons. the effect upon the stock market
would have been depressing. Distributed
over three weeks it has not seriously
affected values. The decrease in loars
has been supplemented by the refusal
of the banks to make new commitments
for speculative purposes.
Money on call has ruled higher during
the last week in December than in any
year since the panic of 1889. but there has
been no sign Of panic
If money does not come here from the
interior in large volume during the mex
three months it will be the first instance
of failure to do so since New York be-
came the financial centre Of the United
States. High rates for money after this
week will have a tendency to hasten this
movement of currency from the interior
