A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. Oak, April 17.-Quite
a sensation has been created here by
the publication of the story of G. w.
Gray, who after a special treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given up to die with
Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr..
Gray, there is a remedy which will
cure it even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
81 was helpless as little babe. My
wife and | searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright Disease, hoping that | would
be able to find a remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. praise God
for the day when | decided to do so,
for this remedy met every phase of
my case and in a short time / was
able to get out of bed and after few
weeks treatment | was strong, well
man. Dodds Kidney Pills saved my
life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodds Kidney Pills are GER
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
given to the world.

"This is too good for me, Samuel"
she said, holding his hands and look
ing fondly into his eyes. But you
must be hungry. I'll change my dress
and get dinner. Where's the kitchen,
Samuel?"
Never mind erbout the Kitchen, -
said Sam. There amt no kitchen fer
you. Dinners all ready, anyhow
Come on, Ma Rounds. II show you
the cutest dinin'-room We ever sot yer
eyes on"
1t was a pretty dining-room. A
broad bay window, framed with morn
ing glories, looked out on a well-kept
lawn. The table was decorated with
flowers, and the table linen was flaw
less. To the old farmwife these mod
est comforts realized her dreams Of
prodigality.
Sam touched a bell, and a trim,
white-aproned maid responded. She
placed a tureen in front of the mas
ter Of the house and moved noiseless-
ly away. Mrs. Rounds gazed search
ingly, first at the young woman and
then at Sam.

"Who is that woman she asked.

in New York, Sam Co. by all means
This settled it with Sam. A month
after the Segregansett sailed away
with John Burt, a Providence steam
er carried Sam Rounds and fifty
carefully selected horses to New
York. Since the death of his father
Sam had provided for his mother, who
lived with him in well-built house
on his bingham stock farm.
Mrs. Rounds was a faded little
woman who had reached her three
score of years. She looked frail, but
was seemingly incapable of physical
fatigue She had reared a family OF
ten children, and for more than forty
years had averaged sixteen hours of
work a day. Her girlhood was spent
in factory and her honeymoon in a
kitchen.
When Sam was able to build
house he declared that it should be
his mothers home. He registered a
VOW that she should do no more work.
The good old lady was astonished
and bit dismayed when she examin-
ed the modest house Sam had erected.

The reproving look on his mothers
face vanished when Sam threw his
strong arms around her and kissed
her with a resounding smack. They
entered the house, and Sam escorted
his mother to coy room and told
her that it was her own. She looked
at the tasteful furniture, the snowy
linen, the bright rugs, and the pic
lures, and tears stood in her eyes.

KEEPING BODY IN CONDITION.
Hardening" Process a Good Prevent.
i've of Colds.


Modern research seems to have es.
tablished the fact that, after all, the
'old-fashioned" ideas with regard to
colds are not far wrong 1t is, OF
course, true, says the Literary Digest,
that cold" Is a malady due to
germs; but there seems to be no doubt
that the chilling of the body lessons
its resistance and so renders 1t an
easy prey.
In the Arctic region, where the In
fluenza germ cannot live, and where
colds are said to be unknown, 1t may
be safe to sit in a draught or to get
ones feet wet; but in the temperate
zone these indulgences will continue to
be risky for the average man.
Reviewing experiments and observa-
lions made in this field, the Medical
Record says:
"A point of practical Importance Is
the fact that 1t was found that repeat.
ed exposure to slight degrees of cold
brought about an increase of anti.
bodies, and this observation therefore
affords theoretical justification of
the practically approved methods of
hardening the body by hydrothera-
peuttc and other methods of training.
Such procedures should not only serve
to protect against cold and allied con-
ditions, but also should render the
body better able to cope with bac.
terra of all kinds"

MONKEYS AS GAY WAcs.
Observation Proves They Have a
Sense of Humor.


Recently monkey got the better of
the common enemy, the carrion crow,
by feigning illness. He was fastened
to bamboo pole with a running ring
When he was on his perch the crows
annoyed him by stealing from his por.
ringer on the ground.
One morning they had been special
iy disagreeable. He closed his eyes
and feigned bad illness. When his
days food was brought the crows de-
scended upon it, and he had scarcely
strength to defend it.
BY good acting he managed to cap.
ture one of the crows. To pluck it
alive was the obvious course. Then
instead of pulling it to pieces, like the
king monkey whom Kipling and Sir
Edward Buck watched enjoying a sim
liar triumph in Simla, this monkey
tossed the crow into the air, where
its own companions fell upon it and
killed it.
Monkeys certainly have a sense OF
fun. Darwin used to spend hours
watching young female orang-outang
in the geological gardens, and was
sure that she had the comic sentiment
She delighted to put on her head,
like a cap, a peculiar shaped bowl,
-, which had a droll effect, and she was
sensitive to the effect which her joke
produced upon the observation-disclosures

The government maintains troops at Fort
Nobrara as economically as at any other
post in the army and officers expenses are
greatly reduced
Some Manifest Advantage.

The surrounding coutry could easily raise
vegetables enough to supply any size of a
garrison and the corn and oats now raised
are abundant enough for all the mounted
troops that could be put on the reservation
and the quality of these products is as
good as can be purchased anywhere. The
grazing land available is a great factor
in considering this reservation. either as a
permanent post or for maneuvers.
In rebuilding it might be designed, prefer
ably, for field artillery or for all arms,
cavalry, artillery and infantry The ex-
tensive reservation presents many target
ranges for field guns. There are many loca-
tions where guns could be fired at objects
from one to six miles without any danger
to private citizens or their property. This
is one of the few reservations where the
artillery could have long range target
practice without any chance Of doing dam
age to private individuals.
1t is probable that the present congress
will authorize the organization of some
field artillery regiments, owing to the sue
cess these organizations had in the late war
in the Orient Not better place can be
found to organize and train one Of these
new regiments than at Fort Niobrara.
Better ranges, better climate and better
country in general, does not exist in the
United States, Opportunities are offered
here that would make our artillery arm the
equal. IL not the Superior to any in the
world.
As a maneuver ground Fort Niobrara is
without exception. In the first place the
government would not be at any expense
for renting ground. The government owns
the whole place, There is not fence on
the reservation to cut and the few excepted
pieces of land would not interfere with any
maneuvers. In fact the government could
buy all the excepted pieces of land cas-,
OF the Niobrara river for a few hundred
dollars. thus doing away with the slightest
possibility OF damaging private property.

Tho country for miles around is open
and the climate is excellent. Malaria is
unheard of in this part of the country.
The reservation abounds in springs of the
purest water, and many small streams flow
through the canyons that would furnish
water for several large commands. The
water used by the present garrison is fur
nished by a spring just east Of the post,
and the supply is abundant enough for
several large commands. AS a result Of
hard service in the tropics many of the
officers and men of the present garrison
were greatly run down when they arrived,
but their appearance now would be evil
dence enough that this is the most healthy
spot in the United States for troops to
serve.
North of the Fort Niobrara reservation.
separated by only four miles lies the great

reservations are open country with scarcely
a ranch and few fences. The Indian reser-
walton abounds in small streams of pure
spring water and along the beautiful Keya
Paha creek is an abundance of wood. The
grazing is the best and from the few
ranches sufficient oats and hay can be pur-
chased for commands of any size. The

miles can be found streams of pure spring

After considering the many ideal places
for camps, the many springs of water sufti-

portant factor in selecting maneuver
ground is the climate during the fall months
when maneuvers must be held. So very
little rain falls after July in northwestern
