REMINDED HIM OF HOME.
Kansan Think He Was Back
on the Farm.

A Kansan crossing the Atlantic in rough
wedthe, went out on deck when a big
gale was. blowing. Nobody was in sight
except the captain, relates the Kansas
City journal.
Go below there" the captain shouted.
The passenger looked around to see
whom he was talking to.
You mean me?' he yelled back when
he saw there was no one else in sight.
''Of course | do; go below" and the
captaing came alongside.
well ] guess not" protested the Kan
san. '1'm up here to see how one of
your mountain-high waves and terrific
gales compare with what we have in Kan
sas in the way of cyclones. This amt a
patch to what I've seen out our way"
A big wave broke over the deck, sweep
ing the Kansan aft They picked him up
with broken leg. twisted shoulder, a
spralned wrist. and his face looked as if
il had been dragged backward through
briar patch. When he came to he saw
the captain.
'By gravy, cap" he said, feebly, ''that
reminded me of home, only it was dern
sight wetter."

asked how long before they would
know what it was all about, and said
my ene-mene, aud looked solemn, and
dad said, What you giving u.s." and
l said, Never you mind, this is my
show and l am the whole push," and
everybody had raised up out of his
chair and each was scratching for all
that was out, and finally the emperor
said, Il like joke as we'll as any
body, but can't laugh until I know
what l am laughing about and he
told dad to make me show what was
in the bottle, and l showed the bottle
and there was nothing in it, and there
they stood scratching themselves, and
I told dad we better excuse ourselves
and go, and we were going all right
enough when dad said, What is it
you are doing" and as We got almost
to the door l said, your majesty,
have distributed, impartially, l trust,
in the royal family of Germany, half
pint of the hungriest fleas that Egypt
can produce, for they have been in
that flask three weeks with nothing to
eat except themselves, and I estimate
that there were a million Cairo fleas
in the flask, enough to set up house
keeping in your palace, with enough to
stock the palace of your<crown prince
when he is married, and this is that
you may remember the visit of Peck's
Bad Boy and his dad.
The emperor was mad at first, but
he laughed, and when we got out Of
the palace dad leaned against lamp
post and scratched his back, and said
to me, "Hennery, you never ought to
have did it," and 1 said, What could
a poor boy do when called upon sud-
denly to do something to entertain roy
alty?"
"Well," says dad, 81 don't care for
myself, but this thing is apt to bring
on international complications" and l
said, eyes, it will bring Persia into it,
cause they will have to use Persian
insect powder to get rid Of them" and
then we went to our hotel and fought
fieas all night, and thought of the
sleepless night the royal family were
having.
Well. SO long, old Pummernickel.
Yours truly,
HENNERY.

Cure to Stay Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Sept 18th, (SpeciaD.-
One of the most remarkable cures ever
recorded in Louisa County is that of Mrs
Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs Hart was
il bee for eight months, and when she
was able to sit up she was all drawn up
on one side, and could not walk across
the room. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her.
Speaking of her cure Mrs. Hart says:
Eyes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after L was in bed for eight months, and |
know the cure was complete, for that was
three years ago, and l have not been
down since. In four weeks from the time
| started taking them was able to make
my garden. Nobody can know how
thankful I am to be cured or how much I
feel | owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how much
the general health depends on the Kid
neys. Cure the Kidneys with Dodd's
Kidney Pills and ninetenth of the suf-
fering the human family is heir to will
disappear.

slightest sound. I was so weak that
had to sit down and rest every few steps

Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation.

Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get
bottle of Lydia e. Pinkham'sVegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
ham, Lynn. Mass. for special advice.
When a medicine has been successful
in restoring to health so many women,
you cannot well say, without trying it,
81 do not believe it will help me-"
