DIFFERING VIEWS OF JOBS.
The Man in the Air Feels Sorry for
the Man on Firm
Footing.

A Chicago architect says that one day
he was obliged in the line of duty. in
order to consult with the foreman of the
iron-workers, to go up to the sixteenth
story of the steel frame of an office build
ing then almost completed When he
had finished his talk with the foreman, he
was about to go down when he overheard
an amusing conversation between one of
the iron-workers and man who was
cleaning the windows of similar struc.
ture adjoining the new building.
The man who was cleaning the windows
was husky Irishman; and as he swabbed
away he whlstled merrily. Suddenly he
ceased his tune, and, peering into the
window on the ledge of which he was
standing, carefully surveyed roomful of
pale, unhealthy, looking clerks. Then he
called out to the nearest iron-worker on
the building next door: Say, my boy,
just have look at the lads in here"
The iron-worker did as requested.
Poor fellows!" exclaimed the Celt. in
a tone of deep commiseration; 'but, thin,
scme men will do anything for living!''
And he resumed his task.
That's right" agreed the iron-work-
er, turning again to his beam some hun
dreds of feet in the air.

Idaho Joins.

Fraser, Idaho, Nov. 9th (SpeciaD.-
Mrs. Martha j. Lee has given for publica-
ton the following statement, concerning
Dodd's Kidney Pills:
81 was down with Rheumatism three
times" she says, "and each time Dodd's
Kidney Pills helped me. The last time
they cured me, and now 1 am able to get
around and do all my work, though l am
ffty-eight, and l can walk to Sunday
School every Sunday. Before 1 took Dodd's
Kidney Pills 1 was 50 bad l could use
neither hand nor foot. l shall keep
Dodd's Pills on hand all the time"
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy
kidneys remove all Uric Acid from the
blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot remove
this Acid, which collects in the blood and
posons every vein and artery, Dodd
kidney Pills cure Rheumatism by curing
the Kidneys; by healing and strengthen
ing them, so that they can rid the
blood of all impurities.

The Divine Sarah

From over seas comes this year to our shores
and sufficiently big inland towns the great Sarah
Bernhard. She, at least her manager does,
calls this her farewell American tour. wag

Reports tell of the need the famous actress
has for the American dollar, that her theater in
Paris, the Sarah Bernhard, may not again be
opened unless she reap a rich harvest in this
country. Undoubtedly the rich harvest will be
forthcoming.
Bernhardt is 81 years old, according to the
records but regards vitality and spirit she is

of her as thoroughly French, but she really is of
French and Dutch parentage, and though bap-
