Pa, says: "For two years l had kid
ney trouble and there was such a
severe pain through my loins and
limbs that I could not stoop or
straighten up without great pain, had
difficulty in getting about and was
unable to rest at night, arising in
the morning tired and worn out. The
kidney secretions were irregular and
deposited a heavy sediment. Doctors
treated me for rheumatism, but failed
to help me. l lost all confidence in
medicine and began to feel as if life
were not worth living. Doan's Kidney
Pills, however, relieved me so quickly
and SO thoroughly that l gladly made
a statement to that effect for publica-
ton. This was in 1898, and during the
six years which have elapsed | have
never known Doan's Kidney Pills to
fail. They cured my wife of a severe
case of backache in the same thor
ough manner"

The Deserted COTTAGE.

What do 1 see as l stand. in the sun
shine, alone,
The door ajar in my hand, my foot on
the threshold stone?
What do l hear in the wind, whispering
under the caves?
What do l nope to tind-blossom, or fall
en- leaves?
Here. where the dulled, dim square of a
window, long since blind,
Registers, the deSoluate void
behind:
Here. where a tangled rose, trailing
across the latch.
Tenderly clings and grows up to the
crumbling thatch.
Nay! but 1 see, but I hear, all that the
years ave wrought,
Laughter and smile, and tear; ntimat
jest and thought:
Voices of those long dead. footsteps of
those affair,
Words that were left unsaid, kisses no
time can mar.
If l should venture In, /, from the thresh-
old stone.
Say. should l find the thin ghost of my
youth alone?
Grasplng at joys long fled. would not
the silence be
Sinister, hooking, gri~m-crushingly near
to me?
Whisper thy signs, o wind, Roses, thy
door Defend:
l, on the road of Life, / will go onto
the end.
All that we hold we lose. all that we
give is given:
We shall find our own Beyond, and the
finding will be-Heaven.

circumstances: but, alas, Mary's mas
ter was called away, as an engineer,
to erect a bridge, and during his alb
sence from home his valued friend
was stolen. Five sad weeks passed and
he began to think she must have fallen
into the hands of the Beers. However,
on reaching home one evening, there
she was waiting outside her stable, thin
and tired. but delighted to be home
again, little dreaming what anxious
times were still in store for her. One
fateful day the authorities gave orders
that no more "mealies" must be given
to the stock. Fodder was comman-
deered for the military horses, and the
day broke at last when there was abso-
lutely not a mouthful for poo Mary.
Her master arose that morning, sad
and p~erplexed for her breakfast. But
he suddenly remembered that his wife
had made a new straw mattress and
two pillows just before tho sege be-

OF NO Avail.
The judge had his patience sorely
tried by lawyers who wished to talk
and by men who tried to evade jury
service. Between hypothetical Ques-
tons and it seemed as if they
never would get to the actual trial Of
the case. So when the puzzled little
German who had been accepted by
both sides jumped up the Judge was
exasperated.
"Shudge." cried the German,
What is it?" demanded the Judge.
Il t'ink l like to go home to my
wife" said the German.
You can't retorted the judge. "Sit
down."
But, Shudge," persisted the Ger
man, II don't t'ink / make a good

the judge. "Sit down."
What box" asked the German.
"The jury box" said the Judge.
"Oh, I fought it vas a bad box that
people gets in sometimes"
No." said the Judge; 1.-The bad box
is the prisoners box"
But, Shudge," persisted the little
German, Il don't speak goot English"
You won't have to speak at ALL"

The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea.
%"Shudge," he said, II can't make
holdings out of what those fellers say
1t was the Judges chance to get
even for many annoyances.
Neither can any one else" he said.
"Sit down."
With a sigh the little German sat

DOUGLAS. Sept. 20-The primary election held yesterday by the repub- licans of Douglas has shed no certain light on the race for the republican nomination for justice of the peace ill this city. It is not known who will represent the precinct in the repub- lican county convention in Tombstone and have the naming of the Douglas precinct candidates, but whether the justice candidate will be Baylass, Johnson or Grindell is nightly in the dark up to the present time. The delegates chosen yesterday at the pri- mary are Albert Stacy, E. A. Won Arnim, D. T. Dunlap, Sam Elder, c. E. Rhone, c. O. Ellis, W. Worthing- ton, George Hardiker, L c. Hanks and F. W. Armstrong.
 Up to yesterday morning it was not known that Tom Grindell had an eye on the office of justice of the peace, but at the primary yesterday ticket was presented which bore the unmis- takabie Grindell stamp. Of the del- egates elected it is now claimed by Grindell that four are for Grindell, thre for Bayless and thre for John- son; on the other hand it is claimed

that a clear majority of the delega- ton is for Baylass, and still on the other hand Johnson says all the dele gates will support him with the excep- ton of two.
 Yesterday one of the delegates who was afterwards elected said that John- son was working for a ticket which if elected would most surely give the h. dianian and present incumbent of the justices office the double cross" He claimed a majority on the so-calied Johnson ticket would not support him.
 Albert Sames will most likely be the republican nominee for probate judge and this young man possesses admir- able qualifications for that or any other official position. He is good lawyer and has several years of ex- cellent business training. The only | thing which will keep Sames from at- taining an elevated round in the poli- tical ladder is the fact that he is a republican.
 The fight in the republican ranks in Douglas, while it is not so apparent on the surface, yet is deep seated and determined and whoever gets the nom- ination for justice is sure to get the Der.
