A sure Protection.

Barton. N. Oak, May 9th.-Many
cases are being published of how dis
eases have been cured and lives saved
by Dodd's Kidney Pills, but there is
a family in this place who use this
remedy as a protection against the
coming on of diseases and with excel
lent results.
Mr.. w. A. Moffet says: 1--WE have
no very serious illness or complaint
for we always use Dodd's Kidney Pills
the very moment we feel the least
symptom of sickness and they soon
put us right. II we have a touch of
lame back or think the kidneys are
not right, we take a few Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and the symptoms are SOC
all gone.
my brother had diabetes and the
doctor told him he could not live until
spring. | got some Dodd's Kidney
Pills for him. and although that was
several years ago, he has lived
through all the winters and springs
since and is still living. Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills are a wonderful medicine"

Keep Your remper.

The unwritten laws both of society
and good are innumerable,
but there is one that we cannot pass
over in silence, and that is-never
lose your temper.
This applies especially when play
ing games.
Bridge and croquet in particular
have much to answer for. Lifelong
friendships have been shattered,
ideals broken and cast to the ground
by a wrong lead, and the frown or
sigh with which it is greeted; or a
bad miss at croquet and the ill-con-
eealed annoyance of ones partner in
consequence.
To lose ones temper in private is
bad enough, but to do so in public
is objectionable. 1t is a crime which
no hostess can forgive, for it makes
all the other guests feel uncomfort-
able, and disturbs that outward calm
which is the essence of all good So
ciety,

The First MovIna pau.

1t was a touching scene. The hus-
band was sitting heavily against the
wall, his hair was disheveled and his
eyes were staring vacantly at the
dreary waste before him. The wife
was sobbing disconsolately and toying
with a few faded flowers. They were
without a home-dispossessed. There
were no household effects scattered
about; no furniture van backed up to
claim a parlor suite that had been
purchased on the installment plan;
no plying throng was there to look
on-they were alone. homeless, forced
to move!
Suddenly the man scratched his
head ~abstractedly and asked:

veaetatIon on the Moon.

Whether or not there really is
vegetation on the moons surface Is
a matter of some dispute. Prof. Pick
ering believes hat there is, basing
his belief upon observations of what
he has called variable spots"-por-
lions which exhibit a rapid darkening,
beginning shortly after sunrise, fol-
lowed by an equally rapid fading
toward sunset, accompanied by a
dimtnution in size as they darken.
From the peculiar character of the
variation observed, Prof. Pickering
concludes that organic life resembling
vegetation is the only simple explana-
ton of the changes which he has OBJ
served. Considering the long lunar
day as a miniature terrestrial year.
the theory Of such life becomes color
able. The vegetation. If there be
any, shoots up, fiourishes and dies in
a lunar day just as 1t grows and
withers on the earth in a terrestrial
year.

A pedigree undoubtedly adds to the
value of an animal, but all pedigrees
are not so much in evidence as the
one herein described. When little
Marjory heard that the Maddens had
an Angora cat with a splendid pedi-
gree" the child was naturally desir-
of beholding a quadruped with
such an unusual attachment; she had
known and loved many kittens, but
never one with a pedigree. At last
her curiosity was satisfied, she saw
the favored animal in the flesh and
returned home in a great state of ex-
citement.
"Oh, mother!" she cried. You
should see the Maddens' cat. 1t has
a pure white pedigree that measures
six inches around and looks exactly
like the ostrich plume on your Sun
day hat!"-Chicago Record-Herald.

zebras as Beasts Of Burden.

South African native traditions
have 1t that in the long-forgotten days
the zebra was a domesticated animal
and was held In complete subsection
by Its master, man. In modern times
several attempts have been made to
train this hardy beast. Experiments
at the London geological gardens in
dictate that zebras can be readily
made s~erviceable. There are innu-
merable herds of zebras running wild
in South Africa and if they could be
broken to domestic use their subjec.
ton would solve a problem which for
generations has been a puzzle to the

Africa are immune from the tsetse

are many dwarfs, very many, which
go for low prices, owing to the imper-

The story is of a youth who took
1t into his wise head to endeavor to
convert an inidel companion of his

He accordingly dressed himself up in
the usual ghost attire. having previ-
ously extracted the ball from a pistol
which always lay near the head Of
his friends bed.
Upon first awakening and seeing
the apparition, Brown, the youth who
was to be frightened, very coolly
looked his companion, the ghost, in
the face and said:
II know you; this is a good joke;
you see | am not alarmed. Now you
may vanish"
The ghost stood still.
GO on, now said Brown. THAT
is enough. | shall become angry. Get
out of here"
Still the ghost did not move.

you don't get out of here in three
minutes I'll show you"
He waited the time stated, DELHI
erately leyeled his pistol and fired.
When he saw that the immovable
figure stood stock still Brown uttered
a shrek of fright, became convulsed,
and soon afterward died.
The very moment he believed it to
be a ghost his human nature gave
