A CASE OF IT.
Many Like It In sistersville.

The following case is but one of
many similar occurring daily In
Sistersville. 1t is an easy matter
to verify it's correctness. Surely
you canont ask for better proof
than such a conclusive evidence.
Thomas Fleming, proprietor OF
the Commercial House, on Tenth
street, Noundsville, says: -Four
years ago my back ached so ex-
cruciatingly that if l even took a
long breath I felt it. When the
attacks were in the acute stage |
could scarcely get around, and
even in bed there was not single
position I could assume which
brought rest OF comfort. To stoop
or to lift even pound caused
twinges across the small of my
back; in fine, despite the fact of
doctoring and using unlimited
quantities of medicine, all guar
anteed to cure kidney complaint,
1 actually think I grew worse in
place Of better. Doan's Kidney
Pills came to my notice and / took
them as directed. The result turn
ed out as predicted, and the at
tack ceased. Since then I have
not had a symptom of return
After this positiye proof of the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills all

sadly in their own light if they
do not give Doan's Kidney Pills

RULE AGAINST AUTOS
CANE FROM ALEXANDRA
London's Queen Objected to Their Pres
ence IN Hyde Park-Society
Women Furious.

LONDON, July S.-If the ultra-Tory
newspapers, which make such point
of Ticking the boots of royalty, only
knew the real facts they would not be
so indignant about the recent rule pro-
hioiting all automobiles from entering
Hyde Park during the fashionable hours
IN the afternoon. The truth is that 1t
was Queen Alexandra herself who caus-
ed Lord Windsor, of the office of works,
TO make the decree.
Her majesty declared that unless
motor cars were prohibited during GER
tain hours she would cease to enter the
park Lord Windsor unfortunately did
not stop to draw the line hesween petrol
and electric carriages, Sc anxious was
he to obey her majestys command
The result IS that society women who
have given up their horsas and car
riages in favor of electric broughams
and landau!ettes are furious at the new
rule.
Lady Maud Warrend. who has one of
the prettiest electric carriages in Lon
don, and who is personal friend OF the
Queen, intends to approach her majesty
on the subject, and it is expected that
the rule will shortly be relaxed The
smoke given out by over-lubricated
petrol cars certainly was a nuisance
when the park was crowded with horses
and carriages, and on more than one
occasion the Queen showed her annoy
ance by turning back in the middle of
a drive and returning to Buckingham
Palace

THE CENTER OF POPULATION.

There IS a strong proba ability that the
center of the country's population. which
from TIE beginning along to 1900 had
been pushing westward has reversed It's
course Some light on this point will
he obtained in few weeks Man,
states make count of inhabitants hais
way between the national enumerations
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island. New York.
New Jersey. Florida, Michigan. Wis
cOnsin, Minnesota North and South Da-
kota. Iowa, Kansas. Utah. and Oregon
do this in 1905. Iowa is predicting a
practically stationary population for it
self Only small increase is looked for
in Michigan. Wisconsin, Minnesota. and
Kansas An average Is predicted for the
Dakotas. Utah. and Oregon. On the
other hand. considerable gains are ex-
pected in New York. Massa chusetts.
New Jersey and Rhode Island while
Florida believes it shares in the ex-
pansion which is making the South the
most rapidly growing section in the
country today.
All this would indicate a movement of
the population center toward the East
for the first time in the country.s annals.
The South is having a prosperity un-
known in its previous history. and it is
attracting settlers from the North and
West and from Europe. The National
Bureau of immigration is helping to d.
vert immigrants to the South, and thus
relieving the congestion In the great
Eastern centers- In 1900 the population
center was close to Columbus, near
the middle of Indiana. having moved
westward only fourteen miles in the ten
years after 1890, as compared with forty
eight miles in the decade immediately
previous and fifty-eight miles In the
ten years just before that While this
movement Of the population center to
the West was steadily slackening. a
Increment TO the South. which brought
the center two miles nearer to Mason
and Dixon's line in the ten years end
ing with 1900. was In progress. and is
still under way. The chances are that
the population pivot Is now marching
eastward. thus reversing the course OF
the star OF empire hitherto, and that IL
is slowly veering at the same time 10
the southwark. This change, II 1t Is
really under way. will have vast social
and political consequences for the
country.-Leslie's Weekly

WANDERING STORY TELLER.

s'Tyhe Mexicans are great STORY teh-
ers., said an American mining eng,-
neer. who, according to the New York
Sun. is now operating south OF the
border. ''The percentage of flltteracy
il very large, and stories told by word
of mouth take the place of reading.
TN every mining camp, every cattle
camp, the fireside diversion when
work stops is listening to folk-tales.
The man who knows many of them
and tells them well IS sure to be pop
ular. In fact, they have professional
story tellers, who wander from camp
to camp, amusing the poems for few
pennies.
AFTER I got easy with the language
/ used to listen to these tales when
ever I could. I found that about q
third of the standard stories were
Boccaccio translated into Aztec terms.
There would be different incidents, diff
ferent names, different localities, but
there were the same plots.
'I asked a priest. an authority on
Mexican history, how Boccaccfo ever
got a start down there. He explained
It in this way:
"A great many Of Boccaccio's tales
are only the folk-tales Of the world,
picked up by him from the common
people and gathered by him into the
Decameron along with stories OF f1ig
own. The French writers O., fablieux
before and after Boccaccio used many
of the same stories. They are in the
Roman de Id Rose and IL half a
dozen others.
The PADRES. in the carly days of
the Spanish occupation. brought over
these French works, which -ere al
ways popular in the monasteries. They
weren't much on Boccaccio. for Ills
trreverence always queered him with
the. church. But they all knew the
fablieux. The priests and friars told
these tales to their Indian acolvtes,
and they became 1ncorpor ated with the
national folklore
There was one tale, not a pretty
one, which l used to hear about ths.
campfres, and which l never could
place in Bcccaccio or any other writer
whom | knew. Last year / visited
Pompeii-and there was that whole
tale told in pictures on a wall
Il got some of my scholarly frieuds
to look 1t up. They found that par
ticular story, or traces OF It. IN Greek.

UNION STATION AND VALUES

The value of handsome bank build
ing as an asset has been the subject of
a great deal Of discussion among Wash
ington business men, bankers and brok-
ers, since several of the local banks
have been. putting ny new buildings.
The consensus of opinion is to the
effect that there is no better advertise
ment for bank than handsome and
tastefu1ly decorated quarters. The Rige
National was the pioneer in this field
and now the American National and
the Metropolitan have followed the
lead.
''In my opinion" said prominent
Washington financier yesterday, this
city will be greatly benefited by the
erection of handsome bank buildings II
Is bound to create an impression on
visiting financiers as being indicative OF
a prosperous condition. OF course, l dc
not mean that banks should be reckless
In the expenditure or money on their
buildings. but they should have the best
architects they can get and insist on
having everything tastefully done"

MUST SEE TO ENJOY SMOKING.

why is it that a blind man never
srnokes?" asked Smith the other day,
Because he would not know whether
he was pulling on a lighted cigar or an
unlighted one replied Jones. IF a man
shuts his eyes he can't tell whether he
is smoking or not. unless he inhales
his smoke. The inhaler is generally able
TO feel its passing through the double
fiues of his chimney nose. But I have
seen the experiment made of nEndfold-
ing a smoker who doesn't inhale. and
then placing lighted and an unIighted
cigar in his mouth alternately. He was
never able to say when he was smoking.
He was absolutely unconscious of the
cloud Of blue vapor that was blown from
his mouth when he had the lighted Ha-
vana between his teeth. A man has to
see 1t In order to enjoy a smoke. -
