Idaho Joins.

Fraser, Idaho, Nov. 27.-(Special.)
Mrs. Martha ]. Lee has given for
publication the following statement
concerning Dodd's Kidney Pills:
II was down with Rheumatism three
times" she says, "and each time
Dodds Kidney Pills helped me. The
last time they cured me, and now l
am able to get around and do all my
work, though 1 am fftyeight, and I
can walk to Sunday School every Sun
day. Before | took Dodd's Kidney Pills
l was SO bad / could use neither hand
nor foot. l shall keep Dodd's Pills on
hand all the time"
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy
kidneys remove all Uric Acid from the
blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot re-
move this acid, which collects in the
blood and poisons every vein and ar
terry. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure Rheu-
matism by curing the Kidneys; by heal
ing and strengthening them, so that
they can rid the blood of all impuri-
ties

PAYS PEOPLE TO EMlGRATE.

British Government Seeks to Re-
ieve Overcrowded barbados.
The Barbados have become SO full
Of people that the English government
offers cash bonus to any inha bitant
who will agree to leave the island and
stay away for five years. Ordinarily
the offer is 500, but during those
months when Barbados people are least
inclined to leave the island is is raised
to $50.
There is much red tape connected
with this transaction. First the can
didate must pass a medical eXamina-
ton, for the government will not, to
all appearances at least, take the re-
sponsibility Of unloading inyalids on
other countries.
Then there must be recommends
tons as to the character of the would
be emigrant, and lastly there is the
signing Of an agreement that the
money will be refunded to the govern
ment in case the person returns to
Barbados within five years unless he
comes with a written statement from
physician that the country he has
elected is prejudicial to his health.
Barbados is principally an agricul-
tural country, sugar cane being the
chief product. There are but three Or
four villages on the island and these
have become SO overcrowded that the
government has found it necessary to
adopt this means of thinning out the
population. The people who accept the
offer are by no means of the low class
which SO many European countries are
glad to get rid Of
There are many nurses, teachers,
seamstresses and people Of like occupa-
ton among the emigrants. In Barba-
dos a seamstress earns % cents a day
and consequently the So or So she can
earn in New York is in itself an in
ducement for her to make the change.
At first she may find it hard to eat
American food, for in Barbados such
vegetables as onions and tomatoes are
never eaten raw, and she finds it hard
to eat food prepared with cream, one
declaring that she believed an Ameri-
can would not be able to cook an egg
without putting a cream dressing on
it. But on the whole they seem in
clined to like America and as soon
as one gets settled and finds work she
is likely to send back for other men,
bers Of the family.

A DEED OF REAL CH!VALRY.

'NC~S~~N~~~~N~~~~~SNS
The noblest act which the author of
An Observer in the Philippines
saw in his journeyings was not per-
formed on the battlefield, nor yet in
the hospital, civil or military. But it
was the spirit Of self-sacrifce display
ed by one American physician toward
another-a man whom he did not
know even by sight
On the Logan were a young doctor
and his wife and three small children.
When we boarded the Sherman we
saw the children and their father,
from whom we learned that the
mother had without any warning de-
velOped tuberculosis. An examination
ordered by the surgeon Of the depart
ment resulted not only in directing
the Immediate return Of the mother
and children, but also in the recon-
mendation that the husband should
accompany them. When the request
was made to the surgeon of the divi-
sion, great difficulty was experienced
in securing the desired permission.
Another physician, who had been
three years in the Philippines, and
had secured stateroom upon the
Sherman, was so impressed by the ap-
parent need OF his brother physician,
whom he had never seen, that he did
all in his power to aid him. It was
said that there was no room on the
Sherman for the family; that all the
state rooms were taken.
'sTnen 1 will give up mine to them,
for I feel that they should go home"
'The doctor cannot be spared. He
has only recently come to the Philip
pines, and we need his services"
II have served three years, and
want to go home very much, but l
will take his place and serve his
three years, in order that he may co."
was the reply Of Dr. Patton.
Later it was found that an arrange
ment could be made which would al
low the husband a leave Of absence
for one month after reaching San
Francisco.
When one considers the trying ell
mate Of the Philippines and the ardu-
GUS service which an army surgeon is
called upon to perform, he is glad to
lift his hat to DR.. Patton.

had been cleaned up. a small garden
on the other had received its winter
covering, and the porches Of the house
had been scrubbed as clean as wax.
Suspicious that the tiny cottage had
been occupied, the owner securely
boarded up the front door.
That night "BilI' crawled through
the fence to go to the cottage. He had
lived in it for three weeks, although
it was barely wide enough for him to
lie down in. In immaculate arrange
ment he had placed his blankets and
clothes In the cottage and he had hung
picture Of President Roosevelt on the
wall. He wanted to vote for the Pres
ident, but his residence had no number
and he couldn't state where he lived.
AS he crawled up the stoop he saw
the front door boarded against him
and, worst Of all, separating him from
his worldly possessions.
But "Bilp' found a way in. He
climbed up onto the roof, squeezed
himself as thin as he could and then
slid down the chimney.
TO get out the next morning "Bill'
stood on the box he had brought his
clothes there in and, reaching his arms
out Of the chimney, dragged himself
up and out.
bill" is still living there, meeting
all efforts to make him give up his
abode with stout defiance. He doesn't
want to quit, because instead Of living
the life Of recluse here and there he
has what he calls castle all his
own.
The house affords poor shelter from
the cold. Several of the small windows
are out and there is no stove in it. But
'Bilr' smiled when told be would not
be able to stand the cold weather in
his castle"
Last wilmer he had a narrow escape
from freezing to death. He was found
by several west side citizens lying in
the snow. They carried him in the
only available vehicle, a wheelbarrow
to the warmth of a nearby basement.
"Bill' was shaking like an aspen leaf
and nearly frozen, but he same around
all right.

LIVES IN A TOY HOUSE.
It Has One Room Just Big Enough to
Squeeze Into


Squeeze Into
The smallest house in New York, the
highest gable Of which is only ten feet
above mother earth, has a tenant, and
around it has been woven a life ro-
nance.
It's occupant is William Darling, a
character on the upper west side for
several years, says the New York
World, about whom little has been
known except his own proud asser-
ton that he is IAN American citizen
Of American BIRTH"
Where he lived has been as much
of a mystery as his identity, and only
recently it was discovered that he had
taken as his abode that wee bit of a
house that stood for many months an
advertisement on top Of the high board
fence at the northeast corner Of Broad
way and 31st street. Wlth this discoy-
cry came a strange story.
Darling, who is better known as
"Bill' and Duane" found his fancy
turning last summer to Mamie
O'Hagen, a Tipperary lass, who lived
in Amsterdam avenue. When at the
height Of his love dream the woman. s
affection for him cooled and his life
was embittered.
Broken-hearted bill" cut himself
off from humanity, except the doing
Of odd jobs in the neighborhood. But
the spirit Of his love was not dead. and
strangely enough he made every effort
to keep it kindled.
The 1st of September he CHANGED
to spy the little house back in the LOT.
where it had been removed from the
fence. He had told Mamie Of coy
little cottage they were to occupy some
time, and here was IS pretty q little
cottage as the one OF his love dream.
It's front door, not quite three and
one-half feet high, was open. and
BILL" crawled in. There were tiny
windows on all sides, three porches
around it, and, exception furniture. it
was as complete a dwelling for a Lii
putian as was ever built.
Not long after this the owner of the
lot noticed that the tiny house and its
surroundings had taken on a new
aspect. A pile Of rubbish at one side

Instances where "a months work on

prompted the highway commissioner Of
an Eastern State to suggest that dur

and frequently relieve such drains

Life is largely made up of neglect
ed opportunities. Not long ago a man
died, down in old New York, whose
boast had always been that during his
three score years and ten he had never
been off the island; in fact he had
never been north Of Central Park. He
was one of those proverbial New York
ers whose universe is Manhattan and
who believe that the sun sets on the
Palisades. That mans life was one Of
neglected opportunities. He was an
atomic part Of Il community Of which
he had no appreciation. His horizon
was so contracted that his powers Of
observation never developed. Sur
rounded by opportunities for improve
ment and enjoyment he neglected
them because he had no conception Of
his advantages.

Their WonderfuI Horns.

After all has been said about the
horns Of the worlds greatest horned
animals, there are positively none that
equal in impressiveness the gigantic
mass that crowns the head Of Il really
big Alaskan moose, says Scribner's
Take them in stu, as the geolcgisrs
say on the head Of their rightful own

an intelligent dog or horse can behold
a pair Of seventy-inch moose antlers
without being profoundly impressed
The antler springs Horizontally from
Of solid bone that is like the trunk Of
a hickory sapling, A foot or so from
the burr it throws off toward the
front, quite gratuitously as it were,
two or three big spears of Done that
are Of much use in a fight. AS soon
as there is room for real development
the main stem fattens out into m
enormous slab of bone, perhaps two
inches in thickness, from twelve to
eighteen inches wide and from two to
three feet long. This is the palma
tion," and very appropriate name it
is, too; for in the center it is followed
like human palm, and studded along
it's upper edge with from six to twelve
fingers and thumbs Of solid bone.
In sheer exuberance of strength, and
excess Of horn material, an Alaskan
moose antler occasionally throws off
from the lower surface of it's palm, or
it may be from the front of the beam,
a big, rugged spur-rOot Of bone, which
always has an extra-impressive effect
on the beholder. The largest antlers
Of Alaskan moose are in the Field mu-
scum at Chicago. They have spread
of seventy eight and one-half inches
and weight ninety-three and one-half
pounds.
