TWO SINNERS.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

There man, it said time
Who went asray in his youthful prime,
Can the brain keep cool and the heart keep quiet
When the blood is river and a running riot?
And boys will be boys the old folks say,
The sinner reformed; and the preacher told
or the prodgal who returned to the fold
And the Christian people threw open the door
With warmer welcome than before
Wealth and honor his to command,
And spOtess gavehim her hand:
And the world strewed their pathway with blossoms
Crying, "God bless ladye and God bless groom"
There maiden who went astray
In the golden dawn Of of her LIES young day.
She had more passion andheart than head,
And she followed blindly where fond love
And ove.unclecked is dangerous guide
To wander at will by fair girls side.
The woman repented and turned from sin.
But no door was open to let her in.
The preacher prayed that she might be forgiven,
But told her to look for mercy in heaven
For this is the law Of eartb know:
That the is stoned, while the may CO.
A brave welded her after all,
But the world said frowning, 1--WE shall call"

A Physicians Statement.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan 11.-Leland
Williamson. M. D., one OF our cIeverest
physicians, has made a statement, en-
dorsing Dodd's Kidney Pills and say
ing that he uses them in his daily prac-
tice in preference to any other Kidney
medicine. His statement has created
a profound sensation, as it is some
what unusual for a physician to pub
licly endorse anything in the shape OF
a patent medicine. DI Williamson
says:
After twenty years practice in a
sickly and malarious country I have
come to the conclusion that it is al
ways best to use the remedy that will
relieve and cure my patients, whether
ethical or not.
II have used Dodd's Kidney Pills
with uniform success ID the various
forms Of Kidney Disease, Pain In the
Back, Gout, Rheumatism, Infamma-
tion and Congestion of the Kidneys
and all kindred diseases; ! always pre-
scribe Dodd's Kidney Pills in such
cases and can testify that they in
variably restore the Kidneys to their
normal state and thereby relieve the
blood Of accumulated poisons. produc-
ing prompt and effective cures"

Would Protect Philippines.

A report sumbitted by the joint
army and naval board of which Ad-
miral Dewey is the senior member,
relative TO Notifications for the Philip
pines, transmitted to the House by
Secretaries Root and Moody, says:
THE policy Of Congress may be as
sumed to be to hold the Philippines
an American possession as against any
foreign enemy, but although the islands
have been in our possession now more
than five years, not q gun has been
mounted nor an earthwork raised to
protect any of our harbors."
The board, it is stated is unanimous
ly of the opinion:
That without fortified naval base
in the Philippines the Asiatic feet can
not keep open the lines of communica-
tion for supplies from the United
States or between the army posts
within the Philippines, without which
supplies the military forces of the
United States could not hold command
of the islands.
That Manila is not. but that Subig
bay Is, suited for naval station, and
OF all harbors in the archipelago it Is
the best for the purpose.
THAT the fortification of Subig bay
is essential to the security for naval
station located there.
That fortified naval base on Su-
big bay will contribute materially to
the defense of Manila bay"

hrium tremens. The death rate from
alcoholism was 1872 males and 95 fa.
males per 100000. Both these rates
