Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend. Ind. Oct. "a Especially
After suffering from Kidney Disease
for three years: after taking treat
ment from six different doctors with
out getting relief Mr.. J. Q. Laudeman
Of this place found not only relief but
a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Speaking OF his cure
MIR. Laudcman says:
Yes. l suffered from Kidney
Trouble for three years and tried six
doctors to no good. Then | took Just
two boxes Of Dodd Kidney Pills and
they not only cured my kidneys, but
gave me better health in general. OF
course l recommended Dodds Kidney
Pills to others and know a number
now who are using them with good re-
suits"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
pe-iences. For there never yet was a
case OF Kidney Trouble from Backache
to Bright's Disease that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured
Bright's disease.

II Your Ship Came In.

II your ship came in to-day
II the ship for which you yearn
When the sea at dawn Is gray.
When the waves at sunset burn,
II it swung to harbor now
With its sails dropped wearywise--
Would the sea not lose, somehow
Half Its glory to your eyes?
II your ship no more should sail
Up and down the distant deeps,
Racing with the rushing gale
Where the jade green billow leaps,
II It should no longer drift
Where the calm sea stretches blue
And the dim horizons lift
Would the sea seem fair to you,
Ho! Your ship--if 1t came in
All majestic. full of grace,
And you heard the hawser spin
AS the anchor sank to place,
II its voyagins were done
And the cargo all were yours
Would the sea. by moon or sun,
Hold for you its hopes and lures?
II your ship came in to-day
And you knew that all you drea n q,
Now at last in harbor lay
All as perfect as it seemed,
You would envy those who wait
Ready for the joyous hail
Those who watch with hearts elate
For the flashing of sail

such great relief to Miss Matte

The other woman smiled. Il can't
see why you don't have time" she
replied. your family is smaller than
nine and we both have a housemaid
and cook. Suppose we talk 1t over"
1t turned out in the discussion that
ensued that one woman got her fam
lily of young people up bright and
early. so that at breakfast time the
conversation could be about topics OF
worldwide interest, and then after.
wards when the family had dispersed
until lunch. and the mornings work
was done, she could take quiet hour
and read or practice. In fact. as re-
CARDS her reading. she was never
without book or magazine at hand
ready to be picked up If even for a
moment, during the day.
In the evening. after the last meal
Of the day she gathered together her

by an informal discussion. This took
but short time and the family thus
kept in touch with the doings Of the
~
truth that does not come to every
one, namely. that a good newspaper
is the connecting-rod between proHn

that, even II one live in small place
