Patch Long enough.

A Virginian whose home adjoined the
early one of Thomas Nelson Page tells
this story of the authors father. The
family, like many other Southern ones,
was much impoverished by the war,
though the old time hospitality was as
warm as ever. One day guests were
expected upon whom Mrs. Page wish
ed to make good impression, and the
furniture and fittings were furnished
for the occasion. The good DANES
heart was much disturbed by the worn
condition of the upholstery of a rare
sofa and she petitioned her husband
to stand before it when receiving the
visitors, and then sit carefully over
the ragged spot. With fine chivalry
Mr.. Page greeted the arrivals and dis
coursed entertainingly until the neigh
ing of his favorite horse attracted his
attention, as a stable boy led it past
the window. Then rising, he said to
the guests: "Will you excuse me for
a short timer" and to his wife: my
dear, 1 really cannot act any longer
as a patch for that New York
Times

Mr. C. L. Smith, painter and decorator
whose home is at 800 Anne street, this
city, makes the following statement:
Il was laid up with some KIND OF
pains. Some said it was LumDago,
others Sciatica, and others again Rheu-
matism. A few of my friends suggest
ed that it was lead poison, but what
ever it was it gave me great deal OF
pain, in fact, almost completely Grip
pied me. l had to use two canes 10
walk about and even then it was
very painful task.
"a friend advised me to try Dodd s
Kidney Pills and l began the treat
ment. After l had used the first BOX

canes and was considerably improved.
The second box Strengthened me up SO
that 1 could go about free from pain
without any assistance and very soon
after / was completely cured, wek and
happy, without a pain or an ache.
Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed to go
right to the spot in my case and they

HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure man suffering from heart trou-
BILE. The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future Of his dear ones. Often the
heart trouble is caused by an unexpect-
ed thing ana can be corrected if taken
in time and properly treated. A man
in Colorado writes:
Il was a great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware Of the
injurious effects of the habit till [ be-
came a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, Indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made me
Wretchedly miserable myself and a
nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
Il continued to drink Coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause Of my tll-health, TILL on dpplying
for life insurance I was rejected on
account Of the trouble with my heart.

leaving off coffee helped me quickly, SO

LAND GRAFT ON INDIANS.
Claims to Have Found Big Frauds IN
Wisconsin and Michigan.

Joseph r. Farr, formerly of Philips.
Wis, exAssemblyman and at present
general timber and land inspector on the
Indian reservations throughout the Unit
ed States, is in that vicinity on his work
of detecting the CRAFTS upon the poor
Indians and saves them thousands OF
dollars annually. The Indians are sell
ing small quantities of land and my busl-
ness is to see that they receive a tar
price for it," said Mr.. Farr. 1T is gen
orally found that the price paid to the
Indians is too small and before the deal
is finally closed l appraise the land
often finding in my judgement that the
land is worth three times as much as
was anticipated to be paid in the bar
gain. One of the greatest works l nave
undertaken is now nearing completion;
that is, the appraisal of all the Indian
lands in Michigan. In about three weeks
more the work will be completed.

President Roosevelt is said to have OBJ
jected to the unusual precautions taken,
but acquiesced when positive orders from
President Underwood of the Erie were
shown him. These orders We're issued as
a result of a letter received by the fat-
erson police, which said there was plot
to blow up the Presidents tram near
Ridgewood, n. J. The Chautauqua spe-

Numerous robberies have been commit

HAILsToRM is DESTRUCTIVE.
Damage in North Dakota Is Estimated
at ST, 100000.

A destructive hailstorm passed over
Bottineau, McHenry, Rolette, Pierce and
Benson counties, North Dakota, Monday
night and the damage resulting is esti-
mated at Bottineau at $1,O00,O00. The
storm started in the vicinity of West
Hope, Once and Willow City and ex-
tended as far as Leeds in Benson county.
The hail strip was three miles wide, Re
ports from the hail district are meager,
but the estimated damage $1,OOO,000, if
the strip was three miles wide and ex-
tended as far as indicated in reports at
hand, seems conservative. The best crop
in the State was in this section.

CHILD SWALLOWS POULTICE.
System Infected with Virus and In
FAINT May Die.

Elwood, the 9-months-old child of Mr..
and Mrs. Louis w. Romoser of Balti-
more, is in a serious condition at the
home of his parents suffering from an
infected system, which resulted from the
child swallowing portion Of poultlce,
which the father had worn on his neck
to relieve a carbuncle. The child was
sleeping with its father and when the
poultice slipped from the latter's neck
during the night the child is supposed to
have picked it up and swallowed 1t. The
infant showed no signs of being i'll for
several hours, and neither of the parents
had any idea that it had gotten posses
sion of the missing poultice until it was
removed from it's stomach by the physi-
clans the following day. The poisonous
virus from the carbuncle so infected the
entire system of the infant that it is not
expected to live.
