Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend, Ind, Oct. "a Especially
After suffering from Kidney Disease
for three years; after taking treat
ment from six different doctors with
out getting relief, Mr.. ]. o. Laudeman
of this place found not only relief but
a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's S
Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure
Mr.. Laudeman says:
Yes, | suffered from Kidney
Trouble for three years and tried six
doctors to no good. Then ! took just
two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
they not only cured my kidneys, but
gave me better health In general. OF
course | recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to others and | know a number
now who are using them with good re-
suits"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
periences. For there never yet was a
case OF Kidney Trouble from Backache
to Bright's Disease that Dodd's Kid
ncy Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured
Brigbt's disease.

"A chair of what?" said the profes,

Gambling. 1t is the great occupa-
tion of many IL not most of us, and
the average college graduate is apt
to take 1t up in some form or other
in spite of all the warning he may
receive. Therefore, why not train him
to follow it with skill and success
Why not have, say, lectures on how
to play poker, on how to play the
races, on how to speculate in stocks.

They obeyed her, but their gay
chatter died on their lips. If the road
bore none of the responsiveness of the
shambles, il was still little more
cheerful than the graveyard. On
their right. an ice-stiffened marsh
reached to the great city wall while
remnant of the primeval beech for

WHAT A euLL FROG Will EAT.
Il Thinks Nothing o. Swallowing
Birds and Young Ducks.

Many years ago when collecting
birds in Southern New England, /
shot on the salt marshes a swallow,
which fell in a shallow pool in the
marsh. says writer in Forest and
Stream. My brother. who happened
to be sanding near the pool, saw the
bird fall. and saw a huge bull frog
make two or three sprawling leaps
over the mud and through the water
and swallow the bird. When ! came
up the head of the bullfrog remained
above water with the wings of the
swallow sticking out the corners OF
his mouth.
Recently a story was told me by a
friend who resides at Flushing, l.. L.,
of certain happenings on a neighber's
place. This neighbor has some wa
ter inclosed in which he keeps some
domesticated wild fowl and not lGng
ago, the opportunity occurring to pu.
chase FIVE gigantic bullfrogs, he in
troduced them into the water.
This spring, as it seemed possi-
bility that some of his wild duck could
breed, an effort was made to get rid
of the frogs for fear they might in
jure the Gucklings, and three of them
we're killed, but the other two could
not be found. Some time in May a
female pintail duck came off with
three young ones, which after two or
three days disappeared and were not
seen again. A day or two after their
disappearance the missing bullfrogs
were seen and killed and in their
stomachs were found the remains of

is nothing living that bullfrog will
