An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Oct. 16th.-(Spe'
cial. THAT sure cure has been dis
covered for those sciatic pains that
make so many lives miserable Is the
firm opinion of Mr.. d. S. Colson, a
well-known resident Of this place, and
he does not hesitate to say that cure
is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The reason
Mr.. Colson is so firm in his opinion
is that he had those terrible pains and
is cured. Speaking of the matter he
says:
81 am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots OF
good. l had awful pains in my hip so
I could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney
Pills stopped it entirely. | think they
are a grand medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid
neys and healthy kidneys strain all
the Uric Acid out of the blood. With
the cause removed there can be no
Rheumatism or Sciatica.

EMPTY LIFE OF THE IDLE RICH
Why Many Men of Wealth Find no
Pleasure in Existence.

The suicide of w. r. Iravers, the
New York millionaire, was the out
come of one of the defective conditions
of American life-the general failure
of members of the second generation
of wealthy families to adjust them
selves to their surroundings. If the
sons of wealthy parents happen to
have taste for business they can get
on comfortably, as the Vanderbilts,
for instance, have shown. But if they
are so unfortunate as to dislike a COM
mercial life their lot is apt to be
wretched. There is no lack of oppor-
tunity outside of business for the sons
of millionaires. But, unhappily, many
of them have been allowed to grow up
without acquiring rational knowl-
edge Of or interests in public life. liter
ature, painting or any of the arts and
sciences. So they are practically help
less and drift about aimlessly in a
quest for the pleasure that constantly
eludes them. Such overt tragedies as
that of William r. Travers are rare.
But there are innumerable bankrupt
cies of character of which the world
hears nothing and that are the direct
outcome of the failure of well-to-do
men and women. to find rational
basis for living.-kansas City Star.

FRIDAY AMERICAS LUCKY DAY.
United States Can Not Join in Old
World Superstition.

Commenting on the Russian pleni-
potentiares' unwillingress to sign
the treaty of Portsmouth on Monday,
which they considered an unlucky
day, an English writer says: Per
haps the United States would have
taken it as a pretty compliment if the
ceremony had been arranged for
a Friday, that being Americas own
particular lucky day of the week. On
Friday Columbus sailed from Spain,
discovered America, sailed for home
and arrived safely there; the pilgrim
fathers landed at Plymouth rock
George Washington was born, Sara
toga and Yorktown surrendered and
the decisive motion for independence
was carried in congress. It would
almost seem as if the United States
was expressly desigred to reverse the
superstitions of the old world. Were
not thirteen colonies the beginning of
the present mighty nation?"
