An Honest Opinion.

Mineral. Idaho. Nov. 14th.-(Spe.
c!al)-That sure cure has been
discovered for those sciatic pains that
make sc many lives miserable, is the
firm opinion of Mr.. D. S. Colson, a
well Known resident of this place,
and he does not hesitate to say that
cure is Dodds Kidney Pills. The
reason Mr.. Colsor os SO firm in his
opinion is that he mad those terrible
pains and IS cured. Speaking Of the
matter he says:
Il am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots Of
good. l had awful pains in my hip
SO l could hardly walk. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills stopped 1t entirely. think
they are grand medicine"
All sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
Kidneys, and healthy Kidneys strain
all the Uric Acid out of the blood.
With the cause removed there can be
no Rheumatism or Sciatica.

! HANtsGlYlNN story
By G2z8HO-

He had never had a home. He had
never looked in the face of a mother
or seen his father. A dim tradition
fingered in his mind that when he
was tiny babe young mother had
laid her white hand on his heart and
said. God bless and keep my baby
boy" and had then gone away to the
angel world. And another tradition
said that his sorrow-stricken father
had left him with an aunt, and after
ward went West to seek a fortune
among the mines, but was thought to
have perished in disaster.
But he had no strong recollection
of anything before the night on which
he slipped out Of the window of a
house where there was no love for a
homeless boy, and with a little bundle
OF old clothes under his arm trudged
through the dark to the nearest town.
He had worked his way through a
hard experience to a fair education.
and to good success for a man who
had not been long in the thirties.
Everybody thought him fine fellow.
headed toward larger place among
men, but strongly tinged with a
bachelors independence, not to say
Indifference.
But one morning when the IL"
train stopped at a downtown station
a young lady swished by, and King
don glanced up from his paper. She
nearly took his breath way. He had
never seen so beautiful a girl in all
his life. He looked through the win.
dow until she disappeared from the
Esatform. Then he sat dazed.
The next morning he looked Up
from his paper often, but only big
fat man and lean-faced girl were in
front of him. The next morning he
looked again, but she was not there,
and the next, and the next, and the
next. But at last. there she was, sit
ting half way down the car. He held
his paper higher and glanced around
the edges. He wanted to punch holes
In it. or make telescope of it. After
that he saw her nearly every morning
for a week. And about that time
Goodby said to him: Kingdom,
where did you get that beautiful neck
tie?"
"Oh. that tie is all right. l read the
other day that mans dress is more

setter man salary.

A boy or man who works simply for
his salary, and is actuated by no higher
motive. is dishonest. and the one whom
he most defrauds Is himself He is
cheating himself. in the quality of his
daily work, OF that which all the after
years. try as he may, can never give
him back. If l were allowed but one
utterance on this subject, SO vital to
every young man starting. on the jour-
ney of life, l would say: Don't think
too much Of the amount of salary your
employer gives you at the start. Think.
rather, of the possible salary you can
give yourself. In increasing your skill,
in expanding your experience, in en-
larging and ennobling yourself"
A mans or boys work is material
with which to build character and
manhood. 1t is life's school for prac-
tical training of the faculties, stretch
ing the mind, and strengthening and
developing the intellect, not a mere
mill for grinding out salary Of dol

HISTORIC FAKES
Capture Money of American sishtseers
in London.

in London.
Not long ago a more or less official
investigation was made into the his
tory OF the picturesque Fleet street
barber shop in London that for years
has been described by its proprietor
as formerly the palace of Henry VIII.
and Cardinal Wolsey." The investigat-
ing committees findings" have just
been made public. says the correspond
ent of the Washington Post, and they
prove conclusively that the place never
was palace" at all and that neither
the much married sovereign nor his
much-tried prelate ever lived there.
This Is an uncommonly interesting
development, because it means that Of
the three London establishments that
Americans practically support because
they believe them to be interesting
links with the past. two are absolute
fakes" And 1T has been pointed out
in the London press only recently that
while the third Of these places has real
claims to historic interest, its right to
the distinction on the strength Of
which 1t has been gold mine to its
To the thousands of Americans who
have visited and patronized the quaint
little waste paper establishment in
Portsmouth street, Lincoln's Inn
Fields. that is called "The Old Curl
osity Shop Immortalized by Charles
Dickens" it may be rather shock to
hear that-its proprietor's assurances
to the contrary Notwithstanding
building is no more the one where Lit
tie Nell and her grandfather lived than
the Fleet street barber shop is for
mer residence of Bluff King Hal.
And though it seems pity to upset
a pleasing tradition, investigation
proves that while THE Old Cheshire
Cheese" in Fleet street may have been
visited by DR.. Samuel Johnson, it al
most certainly was not one Of his ia
vorite haunts and not the scene Of his
favorite symposia with Boswell and
Oliver Goldsmith. Yet probably nine
out of every ten Americans who visit
London make point of either lunch
ing or dining at the Cheese" in or
der to see "Johnson's Seat" there. just
as nine out of every ten pay visits to
and increase the revenues Of the "Old
Curiosity Shop" and the palace of
Henry VIII. and Cardinal Wolsey."
