Of the tipping system. but 1t is hardly
fair to blame the college boys for ac-
cepting tips when they work under a
system of which tipping is a recognized
part. Moreover, any young man who
has the stuff in him to work through a
summer vacation in order to earn
money to pay for an education. Is not
the kind of man who becomes CRATER
in later years.

six Doctors Failed.

South Bend. Ind, Sept. 25th (Spe-
cial)--After suffering from Kidney
Disease for three years: after taking
treatment from six different doctors
without getting relief, MIR. j. O. I.au-
deman of this place found not only
relief but speedy and complete cure
In Dodd's Kidney Pills. Speaking Of
his cure Mr.. Laudeman says:
Yes, | suffered from Kidney Trou-
Bile for three years and tried six doc
tors to no good Then took just two
boxes of Dodds Kidney Pills and they
not only cured my kidneys, but gave
me better health in general OF course
I recommended Dodds Kidney Pills
to others and I know a number now
who are using them with good re-
suits"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
periences, For there never yet was a
case of Kidney Trouble from Back
acne to Bright's Disease that Dodd's
Kidney Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured
Brights Disease.

Oh, Summer, with your wooing breeze
That stirs my blood like wine
Oh. Summer, with your purple seas,
You call the pagan in my breast,
The pagan centuries at rest,
Who worshiped at your shrine.
The pagan loved your fields and hills
And woods, as | do now;
The pagan knew the joy that thrills
My being when / hear the song
OF birds at twilight and the long
Long thoughts that calm my brow.
Oh Summer, let me be again,
AS centuries ago,
A pagan worshiping. as then,
Your glorious sun, without a thought
OF greed or gain that men have brought
To fill our world with woe.
A pagan quaffing life with love.
And laughing when the whole
Is done-the morning stars above
Sing in his ears their song sublime
OF joy beyond the touch OF time
The passion of the soul.
Oh, Summer. let your splendor steal
Me from my trodden ways,
And let me live and love and feel
of right and wrong or vengeful Cod
Bring back those fair. glad days.
Sweet Summer, with your wooing breeze.
That stirs my blood like wine:
Oh, Summer, with your purple seas
The pagan centuries at rest
Is here forever in my breast
To worship at your shrine.

time the royal edict put them out of
business about a month ago. The EN-

nasty was established by means of the
bow and arrow and the art is still
therefore kept up in the examination
of officials and the drilling of troops.
Lately, however, military science has
improved and weapons are being mod
ernized every day and we must imi-
tate the martial spirit of our ances-
tors by using our best endeavors to es
tablish a strong government Here
after the princes. dukes and ministers
of the eight banners must all earnest
~ practice military art and attain the
utmost proficiency, which will leave
no time for the observance of mere
forms, and we order all officials in fu-
ture not to carry the bow and arrow
when they attend state ceremonies,
nor are imperial bodyguards or the
palace guards to use Them but the
best weapons must be provided for
them. Let the board of war draw up
the necessary regulations for the prop

soldiers and let the said board report

HORSE SENSE.


The question of remuneration for
labor. always a mooled one, Is sus-
ceptible of being viewed from various
standpoints.
In a small community in Texas,
where water is hard TO find Mr.. Hen.
derson, the owner of a well, fitted out
with a patent pump, was a person OF
consequence. II was. also, matter OF
public concern when the pump go, out
of gear anu refused 70 perform its
proper functions.
All the men in the locality spent the
day in Henderson's back yard, con-
sulting and '-tinkering," jointly and
severally, at the pump; but all to no
avail.
Finally along came a young fellow,
10 Brady by name, from neighbor-
ing ranch. He looked the pump over,
raped it on the head with a hammer,
thought a couple of minutes, and in
side of two minutes more had it in
working order again. Appreciation
was general.
Just name your price, 10, my boy"
said the owner of the pump heartily.
10 considered a bit and then said
that he guessed five dollars would be
about right.
There was change at this. and re.
marks of different natuT@ from ap.
probation were freely INDUCED in.
Now, see here, Jo," said the ag-
grieved Henderson, II thought you

and you want more'n five minutes

10 considered agair.
"All right" he said, "I'll make
another charge. I'll send you my
