Panama is much in the public eye
Just now, but with IT'S romantic early
history the general public is not readily
familiar. Cyrus Townsend Brady has
taken the subject up. and in the April
Cosmopolitan" writes on panama
and the Knights Errant Of Colonial

Of Ojeda and Nicuesa is more thrilling
than many an imaginary story Of ad-
venture. Seymour F. Stone contributes
some spirited illustrations to the mar
.rative.

The struggle is ultimately to maintain

Running the River"
BY George Cary Eggleston


With an enthusiasm and spirit which
readers will feel at once. Mr.. Eggles-
ton has written a wonderfully vivid
and varied story of American boys and
girls pluck and success in the pictur-
esque and adventurous life of the
great river. Mr.. Eggleston has chosen
a most stirring period, when the Mis-
slssippi and other rivers were crowded
with steamboats,, and the scenes of
thrilling adventures. The adventures
of his characters are accompanied by
fascinating sketches of actual life and
historic happenings. The author has
written book that is not only good
story. but picture of, fresh and quaint
phases of American life which will de-
light readers young and old. CA 8.

ployed in driving or removing dogs
often alluded to in vestry accounts, as,
for example. paid the dog whipper 10
shillings;" ito Widow Sandys the
years sallery for (dog) whipping

tongs were also used by these dog
whippers, many of them being spiked
at the end and capable of giving q
cruel grip; they are still preserved in
some of the old churches.

Mount Pleasant, Utah, May 23.-To
hnd medicine that will cure every
ailment due to diseased or disordered
Kidneys has been the aim of many
physicians and chemists.
Mr.. c. E. Peterson, farmer of this
place says he has found such rem
edy and that he has tried it with sue
cess in his own case. Mr.. Peterson
says the remedy is Dodd's Kidney
Pills, a medicine introduced here
about seven months ago.
Il am glad to be allowed to testify
to what good things Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for me. I used this
remedy for Kidney trouble and IL
cured me completely.
II can heartily recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills to all who suffer with
any kind of Kidney trouble"
Mr.. Peterson's case is only one Of
many just as convincing that have
been reported recently. This new rem
edy seems to have conquered Rheu-
matism completely, not single case
having been reported where podd's

MONEY FOR THE CHOIR soYs.

Youngsters Collected Fines From
Those Who Wore Spurs in Church.

the levying Of spur money by the choir

POUR silver spurs clog your heels and
then the boys will swarm about you

votion to wondering-and QUOT silver
Into the boys hands that 1t may be
heard above the first lesson, although
It besread in a voice as big as one Of

appear to have originated from the
disturbance of divine service In the
cathedrals by the jingling Of the spurs.
Of persons walking within their pre-
cincts. a trifling fine being imposed
upon offenders, called spur money"
the collection of which was left to the
beadles and singing boys. If. how
