Yorktown, Ark, Jan. 1S.-Last week
a statement was published from Le-
land Williamson, M. D., Of this place,
to the effect that Dodd's Kidney Pills
are the best medicine for all Kidney
Diseases and that he uses them with
uniform success in his daily practice.
No one who knows DR.. Williamson
will doubt for a moment the complete
truth of his fearless declaration, but
to completely clinch the matter in the
minds of those who may not have the
pleasure of a personal acquaintance
with this celebrated physician, DR..
Williamson has appeared before Mr..
H. E. Greene, ]. P. for Montgomery
County, and made a sworn statement.
In this sworn statement the doctor
has cited a number OF cases which
have been completely cured by Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Here is case No. i:

can, attacked with Malaria HaemR-

But Eieht-Year.oId Prize Winner Was
No Table Delieacy.
The carl of Denbigh, who command
ed the Honorable Artillery Company
of London during it's recent visit to
America, told at a dinner party in New
York one night a story which, he said,
Andrew Lang had related to him.
There was, according to the story,
an aged Scot VINO had reputation
far and near for his fine fowls, which
took prizes at all the fairs and shows
of the countryside.
A gentleman, stopping in the neigh
borhood, heard so much of the Scot
and his birds that he decided to give
the old mans stock a trial. Accord
ingly he sent an order for the finest
turkey that could be procured, and in
due season was delighted to receive
an exceedingly large and plump fowl,
The fowl was roasted and served,
but so tough and dry did 1t prove that
the gentleman could not eat a mouth
full of it. Very much chagrined, he set
forth to find the old Scot.
The latter, after listening to his
patrons outburst of disappointment,
said with a sneer: ''Hoot, man, why
We kenna tell guild bird when We see
it. That turkey sent ye has ta'en
the first prize at all the shows for the
last eight years"

Too Literal Obedience.

Superintendent s. D. Smith of the
Manhattan elevated lines illustrating
to some employees who we're up on

the carrying out of orders, told this
story:
"a was going through Washington
street the other day when / saw a boy
lug out watering can and begin to
sprinkle the pavement while the rain
was coming down brislsly.
What are you doing that for?' 1
asked the boy.
""The boss told me always to sprin-
kle the pavement before sweeping It,

commeudable spirit of obedience, but
an utter lack of appreciation of the
purpose of the sprinkling. New

BIRDS IN "cAkE WALK"

Naturalist Tells Of Peculiar Anties Of
the Albatross.
In the Laysan islands of the Pa
cifc the albatross is very tame and
very abundant. A naturalist thus de-
scribes the so-called dance or cake
walk" as the sailors call 1t, Of these
interesting birds: 1.-TWO albatrosses
approach each other bowling profound
ly and stepping rather heavily. They
circle around each other nodding sol
EMMY all the time. Next they fence
little, crossing bills and whetting
them together, pecldng meanwhile,
and dropping stiff little bows. Sudden
ly one lifts its closed wing and
nibbles at the feathers underneath,
or rarely IL in a hurry merely turns
its head and tucks its bill under its
wing. The other bird during this
short performance assumes a statu-
esque pose and either looks mechan-
ically from side to side or snaps it's
bill loudly few times. Then the first
bird bows once and, pointing its head
and beak straight upward, rises on its
toes, puffs out its breast and utters
prolonged nasal groan, the other
bird swapping its bill loudly and rap
idly at the same time. When they
have finished they begin bowling at
each other again. almost always rap
idly and alternately, and presently re-
peat the performance"

his ambition, like his collar, was high.
At home the all-engrossing subject
was the young mans future career,
and he was discussing with his par

most in need Of his genius. The
fathers idea of his sons ability was
disgustingly low.

1 scarce know how.
She does a thousand kindly things
That no one knows;
A loving woman'S heart she brings
TO human woes;
And to her face the sunlight cllngs
Where'er she goes.
And 80 she walks her quiet ways
With that content
That only comes TO slnless days
And innocent:
A life devoid Of fame or praise.
Yet nObly spent.
