Henry Jackson was a Yorkshire farmer.
one of the tallest and handsomest men in
all the countryside. and great prepara-

pretty Mary Howarth. the daughter OF his
nearest neighbor.
He was actually leaving his house on his
way to the church when a messenger
rushed up with the naws that his BRIDE
to-be had disappeared and was not to be
found anywhere.
Il think I'll go bed again and wait TIL
she turns up" the young bridegroom said,
philosophically, and he forthwith retired
to his room.
Later in the day news came to him that
the fickle Mary had been seen driving
through a distant village in company with
a former lover. IF that's 30" Henry
placidly answered. II may as well stay
where I am. and, true to his word, he

EASILY PROVEN.
THERE Is NOT THE SLIGHTEST
NECESSITY FOR LEAVING
PADUCAH TO LOOK
FOR PROOF.

The experience given below by this
well.known citizen of Psducah is
easily proven. The proof he offers for
his convictions can safely be left with
the reader. 1t is a difficult matter to
describe an aching back OF any of the
ills caused by disordered kidneys.
How TO cure the trouble is Of much
more Importance, and the most exact
ing resident of Paducah cannot ask for
any better authority on this point than
that given by
Mrs. K. b. Barnard, residing at
1908 Broadway, says: my husband
had to give up the grocery business
on account Of so much sickness in the
family, and / believe for the last six
years have hardly seen a we'll day
until I got Doan's Kidney Pills at
Dubois e. Co 8 drug store. / heard
of them and knew of their benetiting
others right here in Paducah so
made up my mind to try them. My
son and each used box and we sonn
found they were just the remedy we
needed for we were both troubled
with kidney ailments. The lameness
left my back entirely and the rheuma'
tism with which have been afflicted
was much improved. We can both
highly endorse Doan's Kidney Pills as
a kidney remedy of great merit"

death and inflicted serious injuries

wears of age.
