A. A. Boyce, farmer living three
and a half miles from Trenton, Mo-,
says: "A severe cold settled in my
kidneys and developed so quickly that
1 was obliged to lay off work on account
of the aching in my back and sides
For time 1 was unable to walk at all,
and every malIeshift tried and all the
medicine l 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 a sure-cIre for just such
conditions and one dry when in Tren-

Chas. A. Fosters drug store. l followed
the directions carefully when taking

notice the backache disappearing

ejaculations of dismay. Over all the
eternal stars brooding peacefully
above the trivial tolls of man.
Lance splashed along with dogged
determination, spearing founders, and
saying nothing. He would say some
thing presently-while the speeches
were being made. After they went
ashore the oracle would be void. He
saw no hope of word with Cedoni
until the orator should be called to
attend his public duties. Even then
she would probably be invited inside
the circle of light. But he would see
that she did not go. Like all quiet
men, when a deed was once deter
mined upon, Lance expected to carry
it through. He had not an idea what
he would say-only that Cedoni
should stay and listen. SO it hap
pened that when the grand stand-a
bay of shallow WATERWAYS reached
and the torch bearers began to cir
Gle around the speakers, Cedoni felt
a strong hand upon her arm.
"Nou wish something?" Her tone
was distant, as it had been ever since
he reproached her for that bit of idle
gossip.

replied, quietly.
"Wen?"

JULY 4. 1916.
The Dramatic Moment when the Dec
Iarntion of independence
Was signed.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Mr.. Landon Knight gives a graIhic
description of the dramatic moment
when the Declaration of Independ-
ence was signed. lie says: Tho
fourth day of July, 177G, arrives, and
every member is in his seat. No,
Caesar Rodney, of Delaware, does not
answer the roll-call as his name is
called. \ week before he had gone
home to get influence to bear on one
of his colleagues VIII Dposed the
resolution. The night before Thomas
jefferson and DR.. Franklin had sent
post-haste for Rodney to come, if he
wished to save the resolution, for his
vote would decide it. And now, as
the friends of the measure looked
upon his empty seat, there is un-
easiness, almost CONSERVATION. The
debate begins, and wakes warmer as
the day grows; the noon recess is for
gotten; the calm, telling logic OF John
Adams, the quaint, clear sentences of
DR.. Franklin, the impassioned. ord
tory of Henry, are still falling upon
attentive ears. Never was such q
scene witnessed as that now being en-
acted here. There is no confusion,
no excitement, but the gravity of the
occasion rests heavily upon all. Now
the hour has arrived. The roll-call
has begun. Delaware is reached.
'Ceasar Rodney, of Delaware!' calls
the clerk. There is a clatter OF
hofs, a changing of spurs; the door
is thrown open; man travel-stained
and flushed with eXcitemnt rushes
into the chamber. Caesar Rodney, of
Delaware! again calls the clerk, ana
in ringing tones the reply comes:
Caesar Rodney votes aye!' The roll
call continues; is finished. The Dec
laration of independence is adopted,
and the United States of America is
born as nation upon the earth!"

an do it," he muttered, "if ! live
until the Fourth. At any rate" he
added, after pause, "I'll be done
with this sicltening uncertainty" by
which it may be inferred that Lance
was not in a very hopeful mood.
He was in a still less hopeful mood
when he joined The flounderers upon
the momentous night. Cedoni was
flirting with the orator, who carried
her basket, 2nd threatened to grow
sentimental. 1t was a large party,
and a gay one; the long line of
torches, the flashing waters and
laughing voices, shouts of triumph,

Not every student of American his
tory is aware that the Declaration
of Independence signed at Philadel-
phia on July A, 1776, glorious old doe
ument that it is, cannot claim to be
the first expression by American peo-
pie of revolt against British rule. The
first Declaration of independence was
put forth more than year before
the immortal second, and its birth
place was the little town of Char
lotte, Mecklenburg county, n. c.
The two CarClinas were settled large
ly by strenuous folll-refugees from
religious persecution in Scotland and
France. followers of Knox and Cal
win. Covenanter and Huguenot
brought with them over sea the stur-
dy independence and the fearless adj
herence to principle which had led
them to dispute the divine right of
kings and uphold to the death the di-
vine right of conscience. Rheta

SAILANT OF LITTLE GIRLS.
His own Daughter Among Those the
Prisoner Was Accused of Trying

NIAGARA FALLS, n. ", Sept. 12.-Chief
of Police Maloney tonight made an at
tempt on the life of w. IL. Davey, a BUSH
ness man, who is locked up on a charge of
attempted assault on Elsie Christie, Lizzie
Sacht and other girls from eight to thirteen
years old.
1t was only tonight that Chief Maloney
learned that an alleged attempt had been
made by Davey to assault the chiefs
daughter. Maloney had Davey brought
from his cell, and when Chief Maloney's
daughter identified Davey Maloney drew a
revolver and attempted to shoot Davey. A
police sergeant jumped on Maloney and dis
armed him.
This afternoon Judge Horne fixed Davey's
bail at 5000. But L would advise you,
Dayey, to waive examination and go
straight TO JAIL" said the court. 1.-THE po-

ATTACKED BY A COYOTE
LITTLE FAY DEAN TERRIBLY IN
JURED BY VICIOUS ANIMAL.
1t Was Kept Tied in Front of
ID. L.. DOrner's Store as an
Advertisement.

Attacked by a coyote last night at the
corner of Vermont and Senate avenues,
little Fay Doan, daughter of Mrs. Anna
Doan, CT 4S North senate avenue, was
horribly bitten about the face, and as a
result is in a serious condition.
The coyote was owned by D.. l.. Dover,
who owns a second hand store at the cor
ner of Vermont and Senate avenues and
was kept tied in front of his store as an
advertisement. The child was playing
about the store and ventured too close
10 the animal, which turned on her and
sank his teeth in her cheek.
Before her screams brought assistance,
the animal had lacerated her cheek. Police
men Mullen, Silver and Winn were the
first to arrive, and they beat the coyote OF.
A doctor was summoned and the child was
given medical attention, but it is feared
that blood poison will result, and her con
dition is now dangerous. The policemen ar
rested Dover and took him to the police
station, where he is held on the charge OF
harboring a vicious animal.

Rat. Destroy the Corn

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
UNION CITY, Ind, Sept. E1-Farmers IN
this section are confronted with a new evil
and one that is doing great damage to the
new corn crop. The destroyer is the COM
mon field rat, which seems to have taken
possession of the cornfields. 1t begins its
work toward the dusk of the evening,
when il goes forth, climbs a cornstalk. and
If not disturbed, never leaves its perch
until every grain of corn has been removed,
leaving nothing but the bare cob ticking
I'm the air. On the farm OF q. h. touts,
two miles east of this city, whole acres of
fine corn AVE been consumed and the
loss through the district is large.
