A DANGEROUS MISTAKE.
Brownsville Mothers Should Not Neglect
Kidney Weakness in Children.

Most children have weak kidneys,
The earliest warning is bed-wet-
ing.
Later comes backache, headache,
languor.
It's a mistake to neglect these
troubles,
To blame the child for its own
distress.
Seek to cure the Kidneys
Save the child from deadly kid
ney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
Parents recommend them.
Mrs. c. H. Blain, of Corpus
Christi, Texas, says: MY grand
child, about eight years of age,
was troubled with a kidney and
bladder ailment about a year ago.
The symptoms became more pro-
nounced and at night l had to watch
her and wake her up or she would
wet the bed as she seemed to have
no control over the action of the
kidney secretions. She also COM
planned of pain in the back of her
neck and head. Procuring Doan's
Kidney Pills, 1 was grateful to see
the change for the better within
a short time. 1 have great faith in
Doan's Kidney Pills and can hearth
ly endorse them.

water harbor at Corpus Christi,
have experimental irrigation sta

benefits of the reclamation acts are
extended to the district. This is

It is evident that DR.. Moore

We do not think that they will
prove credulous to the extent of
taking him at his word and pre-
senting him with the front seat in
congress now so satisfactorily occu-
pied by the Dr's. opponent.

The Devil.

Late one summers evening dreary
was sitting weak and weary
Mailing papers to subscribers behind
hand year or more.
Suddenly I heard a rustic
Something like a paper hustle
Welded by a man of muscle, just outside
the Office door.
IT'S the foreman low rnuttered standing
at the Office door
Wanting money-notlling more.
Or perhaps it's some blue stocking
And before I heard a knocking
Up I sprang and quick unlocking, open
wide flung the door.
But I scarce maintained my level
For before me stood the devil
With his tail crooked Ikea bevel trailing
on the Office floor
Hanging on his arm and trailing down
behind him on the floor
Twas the devil-nothing more
For moment I stood gazing
At the feet of this amazing
Spectacle; then raising my dazed eyes up
from the floor
I perceived his teeth were crashing
And his burning eyes were flashing
And he frightened me by dashing his
pitch fork against the door
Frightened me by Misunderstanding this
against the Office door
Slightly scared nothing more.
Say, he cried in tones of thunder
While l stood in silent wonder,
When your paper every Friday is carried
from Post master Campbell office
door
Do not some-tell me pray you
Who subscribe refuse to pay you?
Do not some at these delay You prizing
not your wondrous lore
Having no appreciation for your labors
long and sore
Tell me truly irnplore?
Quickly then before him kneeling
q confess a slavish feeling)
Secret sacred thoughts revealing all my
griefs did outpour-
Told him that with all my saving
I could scarce allay the craving
Of my stomach unaccustomed to the tan
nellie bore
This 1 told him while before him I was
kneeling on the floor
Told the devil this, and more.
Rise, said he, dismiss your sorrow
Try to 1ive-beg steal or borrow
Means to live until the morrow in which
time shall be no more.
Then shall all hell's fercest fires
Burn eternally the liars
Sisters, mothers, sons, and sires who owe
you for year or more
'corch and bake and burn subscriber who
add nothing to your store
I'll torment them ever more.

attention to the metropolis, but
pushed on to the West. Chicago
was seen only in changing cars,
and as the train gilded along the
Mississippi and approached what
is beautiful city, surrounded by
the rich verdure and romantic bluffs
of the Upper Mississippi, the
Frenchman was enchanted.
The train slowed up before stop

half rose from his seat in feverish

in his seat, heart-broken and did

often intensely warm in March, April and

there are the wonderful mountain plateaus
