The honest, earnest, straightfor-
ward experiences of real living men
and women are the only material used
in advertising Dodd's Kidney Pills.
One such testimony is worth more
than a thousand unsupported claims.
The people who have used Dodd's
Kidney Pills are those whose evil
dence is worth consideration and
surely nothing can be more convinc-
ing than a statement like Mr. Bar
ber's. There are thousands of others

CHAPTER x.
The Chase.

The summer famed up into sudden
heat, and scared all the grasses. and

Winter on the plains. was a season of
severity for the early settlers, whose
resources alike in fuel and food were
not too extensive. Franklin's fore
thought had provided the houses of
himself and Battersleigh with proper
fuel, and he was quite ready to listen
to Curly when the latter suggested
that it might be good thing for
them to follow the usual custom and
go out on hunt for the buffalo herd,
in order to supply themselves with
their winters meat.
Franklin, Battersleigh and Curly set
out These three had a wagon and
riding horses, and they were accom-
panied by second wagon, owned by
Sam, the liveryman, who took with
him Curly's mozo the giant Mexican.
Juan. The latter drove the team, a
task which Curly scornfully refused
when it was offered him, his cowboy
creed rating any conveyance other
than the saddle as far beneath his
station.
At night they slept beneath the
stars, uncovered by any tent. and
saluted constantly by the whining coy
otes, whose vocalization was betimes
broken by the hoarser roaring note
of the great gray buffalo wolf At
morn they awoke to an air surcharged
with some keen elixir which gave de-
light in sense of living. All around
lay new world. wild world. . virgin

of distress and all the party feeling

had been exhausted. They pushed on
in silence. intent upon what might be
ahead, so that when there came an
exclamation from the half-witted
Mexican, whose stolid silence under
most circumstances had become a
proverb among them, each face was
at once turned toward him.
"Eh. what's that. Juan?" said Curly
Say. boys. he says we're about out OF

WE ARE THE PEOPLE.
That Is Why the American Govern
ment Is So Strono

Some time ago committee of Brit
ish educators called the Mosely Com
mission. visited this country to inyesti-
gate its public school system. One of
these commissioners at a banquet Civ
en- them in New York City was seated
next to Brander Matthews and re-
marked: Il am beginning to think you
educate the people very well here" Mr..
Matthews replied: Not at all. we are
the people and we educate ourselves"
After considerable reflection the Eng
lishman said. he thought that remark
gave HIN the key to the mystery be-
tween America and the rest of the
great nations of the world Yes, that
. the mystery. which is no mystery
at all to Americans. In almost all
other countries rulers are born as such
under the old superstition of 1.-THE di-
vine right of kings" while in the
United States all citizens are rulers by
the divine right of the people" and
this has proved so successful as to
place this country in the very fore
front or the nations of the world in lit
tie more than a century.
VI course. there are bitter political
lights here, which seem to foreigners

But what she would have thought
was broken into by sudden exclama-

The driver OF the wagon sat silent

with no comment, he unbuckled the
reins and threw them out and down
upon the ground on either side of the
wagon.

that they were no longer asked to go

REMARKABLE BEpoUIlr
Work of Former Slave Will Be In
Colorado Exhibit.

One of the unique features of the
colorado exhibit at the st. Louis Fail
Will be silk quilt, the work of Mrs
FLORENCE Bell of Denver, former
slave, who, previous to her death. in
1893, was in the household of MIR
Bambright in Jackson county Mis-
souri,.
The quilt is made of the finest quail
lty OF SILK thread and contains BIS
spools. Mrs. Bell spent three years in
finishing it. and the quilt is odd ON ac.
count OF the interesting history sur
rounding the owner and the manner in
which it was made
Mrs. Bell. although a slave, acquired
a good general education through her
own efforts. She was born in 1858 and
after she became the property of the
Bambright family during her girlhood
she never left the place. She began to
make the quilt in 1890.
The quilt was submitted to Herman
Lueders. secretary of the board of cap
itol managers, by John l.. Bell, the
janitor on the second floor of the cap
itol husband of Florence Bell. Bell
himself is an eX-slave and before the
abolition of slavery he was owned by
Octavis Wall of Ray county. Missouri
Bell was born in 1849 and although he
never learned to read and write until
he was twenty-eight years old. the let
ter accompanying the quilt is excep-
tionally well written, with few mis-
takes in the spelling. Bell states that
when he was purchased forty-four
years ago, he was chosen among nine
other slaves, and that next July he
will visit his former master for the
first time in thirty-three years.
