ANIMALS NEVER III ipLgHxss.
They Reap Not, Neither Do They Spin,
but Are Alwavs Rusv.

How is it that birds and beasts
manage to pass through life without
succumbing to ennui. or at least with
out being bored nearly to death? asks
the Indian Times Animals, as
rule, do-not loaf: 1t is MT thus that
they solve the problem. J.oafing is an
art which but few living creatures un-
de:stand. Lizards, crocodiles and
chaprassies are the greatest authori-
ties on the subject. Animals have ac-
CURED the knack of making much
ado about nothing; they haze learned
TO be very busy without doing any
thing. This accomplishment obvious
" differs from that of loafing. 1t is
one which animals have brought to
perfection. and OF which many human
Deings-chiefy women-are very able
eXponents. There Is overhead wasp
busy exploring the holes in the trunk
of a tree. Why he does this he prob
ably does not know; he has no time to
stop and think. He is quite content
TO explore away as though his life de-
pended upon it. Five times within the
last six minutes he has minutely in
spected every portion OF the same
hole. All this labor is useless, in a
sense. Without 1t. however. the wasp
would in all probability die Of ennui.
The wasp is not an isolated case.
Most animals are experts at frittering
away time; they spend much Of their
lives in activity doing nothing. Watch
a canary In cage. He hops back
ward and forward between two
perches as though he was paid by the
distance for doing so. Look at but
terhy. He leads an aimless existence.
Nevertheless he is always busy. A
bee probably visits twenty times as
many flowers in a day as butterfly:
for all that the butterfly is always on
the move.

JUDGE BROWN WOULD SETTLE.
Invited Guest Had No Use for the Bill
of Fare


Judge Brown, whose boyhood home
was in small New England village,
had the reputation of being very
kind-hearted man. He was always
glad to see his old friends, no matter
how rustic they might seem.
On one occasion the judge had some
legal business in the capital OF his
native state, and there met an old
farmer from his birthplace, who was
taking an unwonted holiday and
looked rather bewildered. The judge
invited the old man to dine with him
at the hotel.
When the farmer took his heat at
the table one of the walters laid 4
bill of fare before him. The old man
looked at it. and then facing round
to look the waiter squarely in the
face, he said, In tone than rang
through the dining room: mo need
to gimme that, young feller. Judge
Brown cal'lates to settle my bill. He

ailments of the stomach and kidneys,
which interfered seriously with my

"At last l took the advice of friends

Il found that | was at once benefited

that the pains in my back from my
kidney affection had ceased showing
that those organs had been healed, and
that my nerves, which used to be un-
steady. and my brain, which was slow
and lethargic from a heavy diet Of
meats and greasy foods, had, not in a
moment, but gradually, and none the

and my brain and thinking faculties
are quicker and more acute than for

REORGANIZATION BY BRYAN
An Alluring Programme Laid Out by
the Self-Constituted Dem
ocratic Leader.

Soon after poor Parker's nomination
in st. Louis last summer William J..
Bryan said that he would start out i'm
mediately after the election. to reorgan-
iZe the democratic party on democratic
lines, whether the St. Louis ticket were
elected or not Mr. Bryan has evidently
made his start, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. He appeals to every demo-
crat to send him. on a blank which he
has prepared, a pledge to attend every
primary between now and the meeting
of the national convention in 1908, the
individual voter to work at each primary
FOR what he calls democratic ideas. In
this way Mr.. Bryan hopes to get pretty
good knowledge of democratic senti-
ment on every issue before the country.
This is an alluring programme. II
any considerable number of democrats
10 what Mr.. Bryan wants, and keeps
MIN informed of their wishes, he will
know where the democratic party
stands by the next campaign. One of
the many blundeTs of the St. Louis ma
tional convention of 1904 was that it
did not know what the masses of TIE
democracy wanted 1t put up the weak
est candidate it could have selected had
it made a thorough search of the entire
country. The strongest candidate it
could have named would have been
badly beaten at the polls, but the beating
would not have gone quite SO far into
the dizzy heights of arithmetic as did
h n nf tho Ilnfnrttlnata q bn
selected.
Mr.. Bryan is immeasurably the
strongest man in the democratic party.
There is not likely to be any doubt on
this point, even among the Cleveland
ties. From present indications he will
be nominated in 1908. The masses of
the democracy are with him. His can
didacy may drive Cleveland to cast re-
publican ballot in that year. as he did
in 1896 and 1900, but this will not alter
the fact that Bryan has the affection of
the democratic rank and file to an ex-
tent not approached by any other man
in the country. His plan to find out
what the democratic voters want, and
then to give it to them, is good. The
democratic party needs reOTSahlZlhB,
and the man to do it has started out on
that work. The republicans and demo
Gratis who have been writing the eX-can-
didate's obituary will be called upon TO
add pretty lively chapter to it little
over three years hence. William J. Bry-
an will never be president of the United
States, but he is parsonage with whom
the republican party will have to reckon
in 1908

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me, March 2l.-Mrs.
A. L. Smith, of this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith empha-
sizes her recommendation by the follow
ing experience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November, and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and would
then pass off. In a month she would
have the spells again. At these times
she would eat very little, and was very
yellow, even the whites of her eyes would
be yellow.
The doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, We continued the treat.
ment until she had used in all about a
dozen boxes, and we still give them to
her occasionally, when she is not feeling
well. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly
the best medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and sick
ness and ensure a healthy, happy future
for them.
