Roberts. w. Va, May 16.-Many in.
teresting discoveries are being made
and many wonderful cures reported
recently, but nothing has been seen
or heard Of in this state to equal the
wonderful work of a remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The people are
very enthusiastic about it for II seems
that there is no case that this won
derful medicine cannot cure.
Among many cases reported that of
Mr.. John j. Ash of this place is con-
spicuous for its completeness. Mr..
Ash was a great sufferer with Kidney
trouble. He was gradually growing
worse till at the last he was forced to
get up three or four times every night.
He had tried many medicines with
out any good result, but at last he
found the right one in Dodd's Kidney
Pills. He says "The very first box
Of Dodd's Kidney Pills did me more
good than anything took in my life" p"

all night as comfortably as he ever
could

"Yessah, seems like" said the driv-

In perhaps five or ten minutes, per

heard the tapping of another cane,

portly, and wearing white beaver in-
stead of soft Panama, would appear
from the opening of yet another side
street tributary to the car.

So the judge and the doctor sat
down in the car, and conyersed, easily
and in no haste, perhaps for five or
ten minutes, perhaps for half an hour.
Now and then the driver cast a glance
out of the side of his eye over toward
the lion-headed gates, but no one was
uneasy or anxious. The mules were
to apparent view very sad and still,
yet really very happy within their
souls.

"Oh, yes, but she'll be long direck-

A well-known mining man of San
Francisco who has a country home in
San Mateo county is the father of
flve-and-a-half-year-old girl who is as
sharp as a steel trap"
A few days since the father was
about to leave home for the city when
his wife, in the presence of the child
asked her husband for some money
The mining man slowly put his hand
in his pocket and, taking therefrom a
half dollar, remarked, Darling, that's
all I've got just now"
The mother pouted, looked dis
pleased and was about to say some
thing when the little one. looking up
into her mothers face, said: Mamma,
If you didn't go to that whist club so
often you wouldn't have to ask papa
for money"
The husband patted the little girl
on the head and gave his wife a
glance that meant didn't tell you to
keep away from the club" while
there was look of supreme satisfac-

soon faded away when he heard the
child say: Now, papa, if you didn't
smoke SO many two-bit cigars you'd
have money to give mamma when she
needs it,"

THE RAILWAYS OF EUROPE.
Travel Rates Moderate All over the
Continent,

Most European railways carry three
classes of passengers, and those of
Prussia and Saxony carry four. In
Wurtemberg you can buy ticket
good for fifteen days, which is a
general pass over the railways OF
that kingdom. A third-class ticket of
this kind costs about So. which makes
travelling very cheap indeed, for with

he likes. stop where he likes. or
travel continuously IL he likes, within
the fifteen-day limit. In Switzerland,
where the main lines of travel have
recently come into the hands of the
government. similar pass is issued.
A passenger desiring one of the tick
