CAN'T BE SEPARATED
Some People Have Learned How to
 Get Rid of Both

Backache and kidney ache are twin brothers.
 You can't separate them.
 And you can't get rid of the backache until you cure the kidney ache.
 If the kidneys are well and strong, the rest of the system is pretty sure Co be in vigorous health.
 DOan's Kidney Pills, make strong, healthy kidneys.
 B. McCarver. of POI Cherry street, Portland, Oregon, inspector of freight for the Trans-COntinentai Company, a man who is very well known among the railroaders of the coast, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are among the few patent remedies which do all that is claimed for them. and they have my thorough confidence, l used them for backache and other very marked symp- toms of kidney trouble which had an- noyed me for months, ] think a cold was responsible for the whole trouble. It seemed to settle in my kidneys. Dosn's Kidney Pills rooted it out. lt is several months since l used them and up to date there has been no recurrence of the trouble ] have recommended them to a number of the boys about the freight house and l know if they gave them & fair trial they certainly must have been pleased with the results 70

Mir. Foy and a "GentIeman."

From Success"
 Edward Foy, the comedian. who played heroic part, at the recent fire in the Iroquois Theater. Chicago, is in private life, quiet, unobtrusive man. Neverthe- less, when occasion demands he Is cap able of exhibiting off the stage much of the dry humor that he displays upon 1t. Not long ago, while the guest of New York club, he was accosted by one of the members-one of the type of those who are politely dubbed 'insufferable cads''- who said.
 50 you're Eddie Foy, eh?" Yes replied the comedian.
 Well" asked the other, aggressively. do you feel at home among gentlemen ?"
 Quite. Do you?' Answered Mir. Foy. blandly.
 'T am a gentleman; V understand?" snorted the aggressive one.
 And I'm an actor-thank goodness" retorted the comedian.
 And a bad. one, at that" was the re- ply.
 How did you form that opinion?" asked the unruffled Foy.
 By seeing you play once-only once. couldn't stand for a second time.'
 "Um, reflected the actor, If I recol- lect right, you were a member of MT. Blanks box party last Tuesday night. I saw you from the stage"
 "Well, what if I was?"
 Nothing, nothing. Only every the atrical manager knows that the grumb- lers. the won't-be-p -peased-at-any- people, the critical cranks. are always the dead-heads' of an audience. You did not pay for ticket on the occasion In ques- ton, for I sent MT. Blank an invitation to the box. with my compliments.

THE BRIDES FAMILY
 NOW AT SANTA BARBARA
The Ceremony Will Be at High Noon and Will Be Followed By a Break
 fast-Mr. Smith and His Bride Will Travel in California.
BY ANNIE KENDRIck WALKER.

MT. and Mrs. W. H, Graves announce the engagement of their daughter, Flo rida Whiting, to MT. Edward Devereux Smith, the wedding to take place March q, in San Francisco.
 It was originally planned to have the wedding take place in June, in Brming- ham, on the return of the brides family from California, where they are passing the winter, but owing to their indefinite stay in the west, 1t was decided to have the wedding take place very soon after their arrival in San Francisco. Miss Graves is now with her family in Santa Barbara, and they expect to go to San Francisco about the middle of March. They will be at the Palace hotel, and the marriage will be soemnized there, the ceremony to be followed by breakfast.
 Mir Smith and his bride will spend sev- eral weeks travelling in California and will later join the brides family in San Francisco before returning to Birming- ham.
 The engagement of Miss Graves and MT Smith is of notable social interest, both in Birmingham society and in Wash ington, New York, Louisville, San Fran cisco and many other cities
 She is one of the celebrated beauties fin this country and for several years has
  elusive society. A few winters ago she made her debut in Washington society un- der the chaperonage of Mrs. John Hollis Bankhead and her beauty and unusual grace made her great favorite in off, eial circles No southern girl ever re- ceived more attention and admiration and she was considered by many people to be the most beautiful young woman who had graeed Washington society in years.
 In New York, where Miss Graves is well known she was the beauty of sev- eral seasons, and she has frequently been pictured as the fairest type of American beauty. Miss Graves is very accomplished girl. She Is finished vio- 1inist and a brilliant conversationalist. Her family have always been prominent in southern society.
 MT. Smith, who is a son of MT. and Mrs Addison G. Smith. is a member of an old and distinguished family. He is a University man, and one of the most bril- liant young lawyers in the state. He is a member of the Southern and Country clubs.
 In addition to his prominence socially, MT. Smith is one of the best known mill itary men in Alabama and is captain and commander of the Brandon Light ar tillery.

field in the Chinese-Japan war a year later. He Is familiar with Russia and the Russians. The Imperial Body Guard is commanded by Lieut.. Gen. Hasegawa. The first army division Is under the com mand of a prince of the Imperial House who is of no special value in the field. Gen. Nogu probably is the active execu- tvie of this division. The second grand division Is ably led by Lieut.. Gen. Oshima at it's head. Lieut.. Gen. Ogawa leads the fourth division. And the fifth grand di- vision is commanded by Lieut.. Gen. Yama- guchi. It is under these chief. leaders for her navy and army that Japan has begun her struggle.

army of France. soleeisnls which had stood unehallenged for generations van ished before the approach of his victori- ous armies and in their stead sane and wholesome ideas took root among the people. He literally smashed the nations to pieces as a potters vessel and no -bet-. ter proof of the benefcenee of his mission could be asked for than the new eombi- nations which have taken place and which have resulted in the isolation and emasculation of the Spanish power. the overthrow of the papacy. the consolida- tioa of Italy and the formation of the German empire.
 For ages to come the character and ex- ploits of Napoleon Bonaparte will be a fruitful subject for discussion and spec ulation. Already 1t is apparent that the wise and we'll informed of all nations are seeking to do him justice. He is no lon ger denounced even by the English as a selfish beast of prey. It is admitted now even by his detractors that the sum of his eforts in the world made for human betterment and a truer civilization, He was in short a thunderbolt hurled into the world by Providence to shatter institu- lions which were a curse to mankind and stench to Heaven itself
 His faults and errors were those of a man. Like all other men he was subject to the influences of his time and his en- yironment. but he knew he had a mis- sion to perform and he set about doing it with all his might and all his ability. The work performed by him in person and during his short career was so prodigious in volume and in variety as to be almost inconceivable. Even his most malignant enemies admit that his mental capacity was phenomenal and that his actual work surpassed that of any other ruler known to history
 The code Napoleon which was the direct result of his efforts and intelligence is alone sufficient monument to his ge- nius. And after all I have read and thought of his career. I would thus siIno up my opinion of his life and work:
 In war he was the peer of any military leader Known to history. As an admins- trator he builded as one who thought only of the permanent welfare and honor of lis people.
 AS man. he possessed genius and fore sight which were preternatural and vet he evinced many of the weaknesses and frailties which is the common heritage of all men.
 As an exile, slowly dying of an incur able maiady, in lonely and desolate island, thousands of miles from his coun- try and his kindred he bore himself with admirable fortitude and equanimity and sank into his grave, which was to show no sign or inscription of his name or rest ing place knowing in his heart that man. kind would accord to his memory the justice and gratitude which were denied him in his lifetime

His subordinates as squadron commanders are Vice Admiral Hitaka and Rear Admiral Dewa. These five officers are Japan's present naval leaders.
