Minnesota Mans Discovery.

Adrian, Mimi, June lst.-Philip
Doyle of this place says he has found
out a medicine that will cure any
case Of Kidney Trouble. AS Mr..
Doyle was himself very sick for
long time, with this painful disease,
and is now, apparently. as well as
ever, his statement carries the con-
firnation of personal experience.
The remedy that cured Mr.. Doyle is
called Dodds Kidney Pills.
In speaking Of the pills, Mr.. Doyle
says:
an regard to Dcdd's Kidney Pills,
they are certainly wonderful medi'
cine-the best that have ever taken.
Il was very bad for long time
with Kidney Trouble and could get
nothing TO help me until tried Dodds
Kidney Pills.
Il used altogether about ten boxes,
and | can say emphatically that l

well, without a symptom of Kidney
Trouble left.
81 can heartily recommend Dodds
Kidney Pills to any one who is SUI
fering with Kidney Trouble, for they
made me all right,
IL have advised several Of my
friends to try them, and not one has

The Time for Recreation.

In this insistent age, when life ev.
erywhere is at high pressure, there Is
great need of emphasizing the impor.
tance-yes, the absolute necessity-of
recreation.
What is work worth, especially brain
work, when it is performed with faded
faculty, the energy of the brain cells
being exhausted?
One ambitious of becoming a writer,
for example, tNnks he is saving time
by forcing his brain beyond natural
limits. He believes that what he does
over hours is clear gain, and that writ
ing a chapter or an article after his
days work in an office, a factory or
store, is to his advantage. But sooner
or later he will realize his mistake.
Nature will not be cheated.
A man may probably occupy his
evenings in study or in some other oc-
cupation than that by which he earns
his daily bread, but he cannot do fun
days work of any kind and then wisely
attempt to do creative work in the
evening. A fresh brain is absolutely
essential to the production of original
thought. Even a recognized author
who forces too much work upon his
brain will soon see that his writings
are not in as much demand as they
have been, and that his reputation Is
waning.-Success

THE SOUTHERN WAY
RAILROAD SURVEYOR TELLS OF
TEXAS HOSPITALITY.
Situation In Which He Was Placed
Made Him Think II the Greatest
Welcome He Ever Reeeived-First
Impression Not Favorable.

The man who had been in south.
west Texas looking over the route for
a prospective railroad had been inter
ested in a reference to hospitality In
it's truest sense.
"All day long had been driving
with a man in the dust and the ques'
ton of a camping place involved ind
ing the necessary water" he said.
There were no streams, no water
holes, only dust and hills and alkali.
Just before shutdown we came in
sight OF some scrubby timber rising
from a draw ahead Of us and we start
ed for II. Just as we turned the ridge
we noticed a lonesome looking shack
in the edge Of the trees, and we drove
up to it just as darkness came on.
THE first sight of anything living
was a lean foxhound that dashed out
at us, baying; he was followed by two
more and after these a pair OF collies
and then a miscellaneous collection Of
dogs of all shades and breeds, bent
upon attacking US, but snarling and
biting even among themselves.
Suddenly a long, lean figure OF
man with a hairy face out Of which
only a pair Of eyes and the tip OF
nose was showing charged upon the
dogs with a stick, sending them scut-
Ting under the house again. Then
without word he came up to us with
his eyes fixed on the horses.
1T was not an ideal situation for a
tagged team and two worn, thirsty
men, but tackled the proposition. |
didn't mention anything about rail-
road, but laid beautiful stress upon
our condition and our needs for a
camping place where there was water.
And while talked he was looking
over the team from the front. AS |
talked some more in my most engag-
ing manner he stepped around to the
side of the off horse to look him over,
broadside.
at ould be the greatest favor i'm
aginable if only we might stop here" l
continued. We will make you no
trouble and are more than willing to
pay for feed for our team
HE was at the side of the off horse
by this time, and l was almost too
discouraged TO say anything more,
thinking perhaps that we had been
taken for a pair of horsethieves. l had
made another attempt to move him,
however, when he Strengthened up, ex-
perforated an immense charge of to-
bacco juice under the horse and looked
into my face for the first time.
"'Want to stay all night, hey?
81 was trying to tell him again just
how much we wanted to do that very
thing when he broke in:
"'Well, eff you want to stay all night,
| reckon you've struck the damnedest
most lively place this side of the Pecos
river"
"Hospitality?" repeated the man
who had been in Texas. Say, that
was the greatest welcoming ever
had in my life!'-New York Sun.

The Reliance.

OH here's to the ship whose rollicking

Shall lower old England's pride!
To her our colors and pens we dip

That soon shall rake the seas,
And notice the bend of her bow abast
That bendeth before the breeze, yoho!
That bendeth before the breeze!
Oh! here's TO the rollicking yankee crew
That cruises her fore an aft!

And gloat on a gallant gale.
So lower away at the anchored
And swing to the swelling sail, yoho!
And swing to the swelling sail!
Oh! here's TO the rollicking random verse

1t can't tell a halyard hitch from a

about the average, and possibly little
better than last year.
Nutmeg and musk melons are like
the water melon, several weeks behind
because of the same reason. The
crop, however, will probably be about
the average and the quality fairly
good.
1t has been reported that the sweet
potato crop will only yield about half
the usual average, but this is denied

that the crop will be fairly good with

the crop will be but everything is very
