was to put the brass lamp away on a
high shelf in the harness room. The
day before he had left the lamp at
the clay banks, and had had to fight
Dick Sturges in oder to regain pos
session of it. He had found Dick
rubbing away for dear life, but, of
course, nothing had come of it, as the
month was not yet up. Yes, some
thing had come of it; Dick had got a
bit of a black eye. Harry was not a
quarrelsome boy, but he and Dick
could not be together five minutes
without bad blood showing, and it was
mostly Dicks fault.
The lamp safely stored away, Harry
went out and laid his hands on the
place indicated by the djinn. All! His
hands grasped two strong, we'll made
stills and pole, all absolutely invis-
ible.
"Ill go wake papa and mamma, &"
said the happy boy, mounting the
stills by way of the barn windoW-sill.
He>was an accomplished stilt-walker,
but at first he felt a little giddy at
being so high in the air with no Wis
ible means of support.
He soon became used to it, and then
he walked boldly around to his par
ents' bedroom, and resting his weight
on the pole he tapped on the window
At the third tap his mother woke
up, and when she saw him she sat up
in bed and shook his father, who also
sat up, but very sleepily, saying:
Whats the matter? F-ire?"
Whats he doing there?" said she
in excited tones, pointing at her son
who, with beaming face, was standing
in the air about two feet from the
window.
You're dreaming" said he sleepily,
rubbing his eyes and lying down
again.
What did you see?" asked she.
You're dreaming that Harry's out
side the window in the air." he num-
bled with a yawn.
Wake up, Mr.. Mum. If you know
what I'm dreaming you must see it
yourself. See if Harry is in his ROOM

ing barn roof. You know I cannot
stay long, and remember that you
have but one more wish until No

Harry burst out laughing, and then
stopped short, fearing that it might
not be polite to laugh at a djinn.
The big giant scowled and said:
What did l say wrong?''
You got the months mixed I'D. It's
November and December. You prob
ably would have said Nocember and

placing them there, although, Of
course, Harry saw nothing but the
pantomimic motion.

The first thing Harry did was to
forget to feed his chickens. The next

The dim had told Harry Mum that
he could only be summoned from his
home in Asia twice month, and,
therefore, when the automobile was
demolished, owing to Harrys careless
ness, there was nothing to be done but
to wait twenty-eight days.
Harry went to bed that night with
the ugly brass lamp wrapped up in
newspapers, so that it would not grease
the pillow case; for he judged it SAT-
est under his pillow. Whatever had
made him so thoughtful of the pillow
case it would be hard to tell, because
while he had been cautioned against
putting his muddy feet on the bed ever
since he was old enough to get them
muddy, his mother had never told him
not to put a greasy lamp under the
pillow.
All night long he dreamed of the
lamp, and of the fun it would bring
him. and early next morning he woke
up and felt under the pillow to see if
it was still there. Yes, it was there;
a grease spot, but he did not notice
that. That discovery would fall to
his mother when she made his bed.
OF course, for the present it was
only an ordinary brass lamp, but when
he went out to the barn to get feed
for his chickens he took the lamp
along, and, spying greasy rag that
he had used in cleaning his wheel, he
picked it up and rubbed the lamp once
or twice, absent-mindedly, and - 10
and behold. there was a djinn curl
ing out of the barn door In smoky
volume. Out of the lamp he oozed
until he was at least twenty feet high
and pretty dreadful looking object
to have swaying around loose.
But Harry was not afraid of him
now, so he said, Hello. 1 thought you
couldn't come again until next month"
THAT is what l said" said the djinn
in so loud a tone that the people next
door, who were early risers, said to
one another, Thunder in the morn

Kidney Disease Kills
Its Victims Numbered by the
Hundreds of Thousands.

Kidney disease should be attended to
at once, for almost 80 per cent. of our
unexpected deaths of to- day are from
that cause. DR.. David Kennedy's Fa-
yorite Remedy is the only sure cure
known for diseases of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism,
dyspepsia and chronic constipation. 1t
is marvellous how it stops that pain in
the back. relieves the necessity of uri-
mating so often at night, drives away
that scalding pain in passing water,
corrects the bad effects of whiskey
and beer and shows its beneficial eff
fects on the system in an incredibly
short time.
George L. Smith, foreman of the
Holley Manufacturing Company
Works. Lockport, N. Y, says in re-
cent letter:
Il have used DR.. David Kenne-
dy's Favorite Remedy with the
most beneficial results. 1 was

complaint very severely, it
bothered me a great deal, and have
found great relief from its use, and

SOME SICK-ROOM
SUPERSTITIONS
Indefinable Influences Which
Will Not Yield to Science The
Girl Who Fought Death Be-
cause the Lines in Her Hands
Babe Her Hope.

The nurse who can control the super
stitions of her patient has fought half
the battle for the physician in charge
of the case. For locked deep in the
twentieth century heart is a ghost of
ancestral superstition which will not
down. When a patient goes to bed
with any fell disease. that ghost stalks
forth rampant, and. unless warded off
by a skilled hand, is apt to come eff
victorious.
A well-known writer in Washing
ton, who is a firm believer and a wide
reader in chiromancy or palmistry,
was operated on for appendicitis.
When the incision had been made the
surgeons discovered that it was a
case of peritonitis instead of appen-
dicitis. The young woman was in a
critical condition, and when she came
out from the influence of the anaes-
thetic, the physician in charge of the
case deemed it best that she should
be informed of the true state of affairs
This was discreetly done by nurse and
doctor, and in delicate way it was
suggested that she send for her
mother and her clergyman.
Now, it happened that the patient
had neither, but she had something
else-an immense amount of grit and
an unshakable belief in the lines of
her hand. With an effort that showed
in her tightening lips, she turned her
right hand and held it where the doc
tor might see it distinctly. Then she
remarked, in weak but determined
voice;
Doctor, do you See the life line
in that hand? 1t says 1 will live until
l am As. Those lines never lie. You
can't kill me with a trife like peri
tonitis. 1 am only So Give me some
water and I'll go to Sleep"
She fought her fight and is to-day
writing specials on social life at the
capital.
Just the reverse of this situation was
shown this fall in a Philadelphia hos
pital where one of the most popular
nurses on the stan underwent a seri-
Gus operation from which she was
apparently rallying without difficulty.
The superintendent of nurses drop
ped in to see her just as dusk and COM
plimented her on her evident progress.
The girl turned questioning eyes to
her chief and said:
Yes, it seems all right, but pray
L
know what that means"
The superintendent spoke reassur-
ingly, but when she had left the ward
the words of the young nurse haunted
her brain.
A wealthy woman living next door
to the hospital owned a magnificent
peacock, which ordinarily was exceed
ingly quiet, but a superstition existed
in the hospital that whenever the bird
cried. death staiked in one of the
wards. In vain had efforts been
made to still this gossip. The rumor
would not die, but the patients did
with singular regularity whenever the
bird raised it's voice.
At in the morning the superinten-
dent found herself sitting straight UP
in bed and seized with a sudden hor-

Pulling on her wrapper and bed

what to him seemed a fight for life.
When at last old Father Time land
ed him safe across his thirty-sixth
birthday this perfectly sane and thor
oughly healthy man collapsed from
pure reaction and took the trip abroad
which he had feared for twelve long
months.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-01-04

For one whole year a New York
man suffered from an hallucination
which he could not throw off, and at
the end of the time he was practically
victim of nervous prostration, be-
cause he could not get away from him
self.
An astrologer had foretold that he
would die when he was 35. At the
time of the prophecy the man laughed
heartily, but as the year approached
he found a certain shadow walking
ever at his side. He tried to think
that it was due to overwork and wor-
ry about his business and determined
to go abroad for a rest.
Then something stayed the purchase
of tickets for the journey, and he real
lied that it was fear-rear that the
steamship might go down. He became
afraid even to go on a railroad jour-
ney and doubled his life insurance
Finally he took several friends into
his confidence, and seldom Travelled
the streets at night without one of
them in his company. He lodged troll

patient seemed like one in the clutch

true men were dispatched to their
eternal home that day; without re-
sketching their burial, more sad in
that desolate, u%ninhabited land
than death itself, if possible; with
out repicturing the night attack,
where musketry, moonlight and the
long roll" were mingled in con-
fuslon-without these the day was
still beautiful, not alone to theweary
command, but to Dakota, and to
the Sioux Indians as we'll, who on
that dav departed forever from
power in, and possession of, the
great plains east of the Missouri
river.
Nearly a quarter of a century has
swept over us like the shadow Of a
flying cloud, with it's varied woes
and fortunes, since we rambled
over the land on which Dakota's
most promising city now stands,
and it affords a pleasure more cas-
lily imagined than described to 90
behind the returns" and in the
light Of that day look upon the
Dakota Of the present. The city
Of Bismarck was innocent of con-
ception then as the American hog
was of a future enemy in the Ger
man chancellor. Otherwise Bis
marck might have been called
Brownsville or Jonesboro. Even
the great Northern Pacific railway
was then but an invisible pigment
floating in the brain Of the genius
who conceived the grand project.
All was wild and gave promise Of
remaining SO for an age, yet an
empire has budded and even
unfolded its glorious petals in that
chaotic wilderness, and today Da-
kota is the empire territory Of the
Northwest. What a transforma-
ton! Where buffalo and antelope
roamed by the thousand in that
day, the domestic herds of tie hus-
bandman now Craze peacefully
where the youth of the untutored
savage gamholed %aimlessly, there
the public school, the dissemination
Of enlightenment, now Hourlshes
triumphantly; where the demoni-
acal war dance furnished unseemly
entertainment then, the church bell
now tells of the march Of Christi
anity and civilization, and society
exists on every hand. ALI this is but
the work Of twenty, years--a scene
a European could not witness,
and imparting an inspiration which
his soul could not feel in his native
land could he live a thousand years.
Verify this great Northwest is a
wonderful country.

The "key City"

Washburn is the county
seat of Mclean county
and is destined to be the
metropolis of the upper
Missouri country. Beauti-
fully located, overlooking
the Missouri river, sur
rounded by an unexcelled
farming country on the
east side of the Missouri,
connected with the best of
ferry service with the
west side country which
affords excellent openings
for farming and stock rails
ing, a line of steamboats,
connecting all up-river
points. The drainage of
the city is the very best
and a system of water
works and electric lights
are among the improve
ments that will be made
in the near future and
which will add to the at
Effectiveness of the city.
Washburn has the best
school facilities in the
county and the leading
religious denominati o n
are represented and have
creditable places of wor-
ship. The B. w. &. q. F..
Ry. company are planning
some extensive improve
ments of their properties
here which will add ma
terialIy to the Importance
of Washburn as a railroad
town.. With the extension
of the railroad new towns
will open up to the north,
the immense coal deposits
along the line of the rail-
road will be developed,
creating a demand for la
Dor, bringing money to the
country and opening a
market for the products
of the farm. With the adj
vancement and the devel-
opment of these new OUT
lying towns Washburn
will derive due benefit,
there will be more busi-
ness to transact and an
expansion of the popula-
ton which will increase
the demand for residence
property and business To-
