one man was cured by Doans Kidney
Pills after eight years Of torture:
Henry Soule, Of Pultney ST., Ham
mondsport, N. Y, says: "For eight
years suffered constant agony from
kidney complaint. / endured the worst
torture from gravel and the kidney
secretions were excessive and con-
tanned sediment like brick dust. I had
to get out of bed from ten to twenty
times night and the loss Of sleep
wore me out. Indigestion came on and
the distress after eating was terrible.
Doan's Kidney Pills effected COM
plete and lasting cure, and after the
symptoms Of kidney trouble were gone
my stomach began to work as it
should. This lasting cure, especially
in person Of my age, proves the great
value Of Doans Kidney Pills NOR
convincingly than could any words Of
mine.''
Doan's Kidney Pills sold by all drug
gists; price so cents per box, or mailed
on receipt Of price by Foster-Milburn

WAS DONE BY POWERFUL MEN.
That County Fair Candy that Was
Pulled Over Hook.

That County Fair Candy that Was
Pulled Over q Hook.
People who resided in Western towns
In the days following the civil war
doubtless remember the candy pullers
who followed the fair circuits, making
delicious taffy (red, yellow, white,
strawberry. molasses,- or vanilla) at
every country fair. They sold this
candy, not by the yard, but by the
half foot or quarter Of foot. and very
good candy it was at that. The prepa-
ration and making Of it was open to
the inspection Of all corners, in an
open-air kitchen, which stood not far
from the hook where the candy was
pulled. When the sugar, ising-glass,
water, and other ingredients had boil
ed down to the proper consistency, the
sticky mass was turned out on greas-
ed marble slab, kneaded, and worked,
until, at a word from the head candy
maker, 1t went to the hook and was
there pulled and favored. When
pulled until 1t had reached proper
whiteness it was removed, laid on an
other slab, having foot measure grad
uated to inches in the marble. There
it was cut to the proper lengths with
an immense pair Of shears, wrapped in
paper, and sold to the candy-hungry
crowd, who stood open-mouthed with
establishment.
Those who remember such scenes
would have been forcibly reminded Of
the old fair days in Kentucky or Mis-
souri, had they dropped into certain
store last week, where they sold candy
by the yard. The candy is made and
favored in the usual way, but instead
Of being pulled by hand is brought to
the proper consistency by means Of a
very peculiar machine, in-Which the
pulling is actually done by two iron
arms which when the machine is set
in motion, yank and twist the candy
in manner so strikingly human that
one wonders at the genius of the per-
son who invented it. From the auto
matte puller it is removed to a greas-
ed marble slab, heated by electricity
from beneath, where the candy is run
out into yard lengths by means Of a
yardstick, and severed at the proper
graduation with pair of scissors.
This candy is then sold at 5 cents per
yard, and excellent stuff it is, at that.
1t is favored and colored in such fash
ion that when spun out into yard
lengths it looks for all the world like
silk ribbon, and the cook who does the
cutting up has been several times mis-
taken for the clerk Of the silk ribbon
counter.
The pulling Of candy by means OF
a machine, which in all truth is equip
ped not only with pair Of arms, but
a pair Of hands, with which to grasp
the ends Of the candy, into the bar
gain, is great improvement over the
old hand process. In the old days it
was noticeable that the candy pullers
Of the Western fairs were usually
large, and the work was so fatiguing
that when they had completed their
task they were bathed in perspiration,
the effort of keeping a stiff, resistant
mass in constant circulation and mo-
ton being harder work even than log
rolling or coal Distinguishing

rience with Peruna:
"IWiH ever continue to speak a good

John 0. Atkinson,

When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
SO indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them. This is exactly what
Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and sat

Army Drums Hauled by Dogs.

A curious feature connected with the
Servian army is the manner in which
most Of the regiments carry the big
drum. 1t is not, as in most countries,
slung in front Of the man who plays
it, but is placed upon a small two
wheeled cart drawn by a single dog,
which has been so trained that it keeps
its place even through the longest and
most tedious Of marches. The drum
mer takes up position behind the cart
and performs on the instrument as the
animal pulls it along.

Tension of Mental Effort Sometimes
Disastrous.
1t has long been known that man
Is not at his best for hard mental work
directly after a hearty meal, but the
real dangers Of work under such con-
ditions are perhaps not only lin the
arteries of the body, but also, in all
probability, in those of the brain and
this makes it easy for a weakened
point to give way.
We recently have had a striking in
stance Of death from apoplexy occur
ring in a prominent physician while
making an after-dinner speech, and the
notable death Of William Window,
few years ago, under similar circum-
stances will be remembered; and still
other cases might be mentioned. The
danger from this cause has not been
recognized, but when we remember
that these public banquets involve q
pretty hard ingestion of food and a
consequent rise of blood presence, It
need not be wondered at that sudden
deaths from "apoplexy'' during after
dinner speeches are often recorded.
Apoplexy is well known possibility
Of mental strain; the weak point may
be unknown to the subject himself and
not revealed by any objective symp-
toms. The individual may have passed
a life insurance examination success
fully, only a short time before, as Is
reported to have been the case with
the physician referred to, but the spe-
cial stress becomes too strong for some
point Of weakness, and the result is
fatal 1t iss not work, whether men,

A Useful Hole.

The interesting announcement was
made at the congress of geographers in
New York City recently that there are
depressiens in the floor of the Pacific
Ocean more han $4,000 feet deep. Into
one of them, then, the tallest mountain in
the world could be plunged and be en-
tirely submerged-with room for deep
draught vessel to sail overhead without
danger of grounding.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that those
who found those deep holes took note of
the precise location of them, so that they
can find them again. At least one of
them may "come in handy" some time
this fall, Just after the Tuesday after the
first Monday in November. The Hill of
Wolfert's Roost isn't the tallest hill in
the world, by good deal, and might cas-
lily be put out of sight in much shallow
er hole than one of these Pacific "deeps."
Nevertheless, it is sometimes well to do a
good job thoroughly, with an ample mar
gin to spare.
Let us have the longitude and latitude
of one of the very deepest of those holes.
No matter il the interior of it is lined
with the slime which covers so much of
the ocean floor. That will only make the
place more homelike to its prospective
tenant.

A FEW days ago, when Judge Parker
made an address to the Democratic edi-
tors who called upou him at Rosemount.
he said: 81 shall not take up vour time
with any reference to the great issues up
on which our party appeals to the peo-
pie" This was certainly very wise and
conservative on his part, since the public
is gasping to know what the issues are
and what Judge Parker thinks about
them. As the case now stands it would
puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer TO state the
issues. A bill of particulars would be
very acceptable from the Judge, so that
the jury can determine whether there is
any issue save Parker VS.. Roose-
welt. But the American people will soon
decide the case.

THERE is something radically wrong
with the Democratic campaign. The can
didate himself has been spending his
days and nights at Esopus waiting for the
Democratic victories in Vermont and
Maine which never came. Meanwhile
the Democratic party has been drifting
driiting-and one can readily imagine
Judge Parker, as he drifts with it, batting
his hook and casting his line and ex-
claiming, "Oh, ifI could only catch a
real live issue" Inspiration did not
come to him at Esopus, and he went to
New York to look things over. A change
of bait seems to be needed.
