SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION
FINISHES SONG BOOK.

Ever since there have been Sunday
schools a problem met by super nten
dents and workers has been that OF fur
nishing good. singable hymns. that
would not orlv interest the children, but
also carry the Christian message for
which the Sunday school stands. Many
books have been compiled and used. but
it has remained for the American Sunday
School union to attack the problem in a
new way. The uninn appointed a COM
mittee to select the one hundred hymns
and unes that could be considered ideal
Sunday school songs. The committee has
just finished its work and the result APP
pears in Songs Of Service and Praise"
published by the union. Many SUNDAY
school workers are enthusiastic about it
and say the book marks an epoch in
Sunday school work. Certainly the
American Sunday School union has add
ed another to tn. long list Of services it
has rendered the churches of America.

CRYING FOR HELP

The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ in the whole body so
d~eliCately constructed.
Not one so important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood. When they fail the blood be
comes foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the first indica'
lions of kidney trouble. 1t is the kid

Doan's Kidney Pills are what is
wanted.
Are just what overworked kidneys
need.
They strengthen Inc %invigorate the
kidneys: help them do their work:
never fail to cure any case of kidney
disease.

proud, breezy, luXuriant whiskers, too,

LEGISLATIVE SHORT TALKS.

Mr.. Atherly is persistent and con
sistent in his advocacy of pure foods.
His house joint me.norial, introduced
some days ago, asks the congress OF
the United States to speedily enact
sufficient Legislation prohibiting inter
state commerce in adulterated, mis-
branded and deleterious drugs. foods
and medicines. to the end that the
laws of our state relative thereto may
be more effective. The honorable gen.
tleman is on the right track. There
is no reason why our people should be
imposed upon by the sale of stuff that
is worse than the practice of a quack
doctor. What we have should be pure,
even if it costs us a little more money.
During this week the governor will
send all his appointments to the sen
ate, and then quite a number OF anx-
ious ones will cease to worry. The
more important Offices to be filled at
this time are the state engineer, he
state librarian and the state land COM
missioner.
Senator Baird's bill for the establish.
ment Of a normal school at Newcastle
has met with much favor. 1t provides
for the establishment of such a school
in the city of Newsactle. The objects Of
said normal school are to provide an
efficient means of imparting to young
men and young women, without regard
to color, on equal terms, training in
the art and science of teaching, with
such knowledge of such other arts n
sciences as will aid in fitting them for
responsible positions as teachers in
the first eight grades of the public
schools and in the district schools OF
Wyoming, and such as will prepare stu
dents for admission to the freshman
class Of the state university. 1t is in
tended by Senator Baird that his
school shall be an aid to the university
in the preparation OF students there
for. 1t is not at all improbable that
this bill will become a law.

Owen was known to all circles pos
sessing the slightest tincture of science
as the man who could reconstruct an
entire extinct animal II you gave him
the fragment of fossil tooth. The
public would not buy his books. but
they showed their appreciation Of his
genius In various simple minded fash
ions. All reports about the sea serpent
were referred to him for examination.
People who fancied that they had
found live toads imbedded in rock or
coal wrote to ask him what he thought
of It One day, just as he was setting
out to keep a dinner engagement he
was detained for half an hour by
note from a stranger wanting to know
whether something he had found In a
sausage was or was not the tooth OF a
dog and requesting an Immediate an
swer. To the credit of the sausage
vender 1t proved to be the tooth of a
sucking pig.
On another occasion, Earl Russell,
having received as present from
President Grant what purported to be
bear ham, sent the bone for examina-
ton to Owen. One is sorry TO hear
that the great anatomIst at once pro-
nounced 1t to be the ham bone Of an
ordinary pig.-London Academy.

len, seated ON the ground before her,
found his interest in life returning.
Moreover, Thompson had ceased to
trouble him. He began to feel that
some time in the future matters would
adjust themselves properly. As to the
present, he was content to sit at her
feet and listen to her full. rich voice.
One afternoon when the reading was
ended for the day and the sun made
long shadows of the trees Allen rose
and stood looking at her thoughtfully
You see" he said, Il don't know
whether you are real or only a phan-
tom like Thompson, and so may
speak freely. If you are real. love
you. If you are unreal-welI. then
want to stay here like this for the rest
of my days"
The girl flushed scarlet. She dropped
the book and fed across the grounds.
Allen stood watching her flight with a
puzzled frown.
Suppose she Is just another phnn-
tom like hompson-suppose she Isl"
he muttered, and the bare thought of
such possibility made him sick at
heart.
I 1t came like flash. Allen was walk
ing toward the beeches one sunny aft
ernoon when something seemed to snap
inside his skull. He stopped In his
tracks and stood for a moment dazed
and trembling. Then great joy we'll
ed up in him. The numbing fog had
fallen from his mind. Everything was
perfectly clear now 1t was all over;
he was well man again. He could
take up his life where he had dropped
1t.
He made his way to the beeches and
sat down, but as he did SO sudden
fear frightened his throat How about
this girl, who had come to mean so
much to him? Was she reality, or
had she been only an image of his tired
brain? Suppose the latter were the
case,
He heard voices and lifted his eyes,
Across the lawn the superintendent
was approaching. and with him was
the girl. Allen leaped to his feet and
ran forward.
"Thank God" he cried beside himself
with joy.
The superintendent looked at him
narrowly for moment and then seized
his hand
"Ah," he said, II thought it would
come. You may well thank God, Mr..
Allen. 1t was narrow escape from
permanent trouble"
He turned to the girl beside him.
"Oh, by the way, Mr.. Allen, this Is
my daughter"
Allen laughed happily as he saw the
girls face crimson.
"It was because of her I thanked
God" said he quietly.

By HARRY PRESTON

Allen strobe across the grounds in
the mellow warmth of that early sum
mer afternoon and sought his favorite
retreat-a rustic seat in the shadow of
the beeches near the northern wall. He
opened magazine he had borrowed
from the superintendent Office and
strove to interest himself in the pages,
but the articles seemed to be composed
of meaningless jumbles of words, and
the illustrations seemed distorted and
unreal. He dropped the magazine with
a sigh and closed his eyes. He was
very, very tired.
He was afraid, too, that Thompson
would come along and worry him
about the codicils of that will. Thomp-
son had been dead these five years,
and, moreover, those codicils had been
fixed to his satisfaction long before his
demise, but Thompson seemed totally
Indifferent to the trouble he was caus-
ing. Instead of staying peacefully in
his grave he came poking along at any
old hour of the day or night asking
most absurd questions and making all
sorts of annoying suggestions.
Allen had spoken to the superintend-
ent about Thompson that very after
noon. He had said pointedly that IL be
were to stay here they must keep
Thompson out The superintendent
had been very kind. He had assured
Allen the matter would be attended to.
He babe him worry over it no more.
And then the superintendent had look
ed at him pityingly. Allen was keen
enough to recognize the pity in that
glance.
1t was strange that they should pity
him; everything was strange. Nothing
had been real since that day in the
courthouse when he was conducting
the states case against the election re-
peaters-when the walls had caved In
so sudd\ly and he had felt the
strange, iingling sensations in his toes
and finger tips and some one had put
his arms about him just as the black
ness had como on.
They told hin-the doctors and the
nurses-that this place, where he had
awakened, was Il private sanltarium;
that he was overworked and must
