T,ivinq Man Turns to Bone.

There has just died at Uberlinger,
in Baden, man who has been slowly
ossifying for forty years, says the
London Express. ,
He was attacked by the rare dis
ease known to doctors as myosltis os-
sificans when fifteen years old. The
first symptoms of the disease, which
attack them uscular tissues and turns
them to bone, appeared in the feet,
and slowly the muscles of the legs and
the thighs became quite hard. When
the disease reached the muscles OF the
heart death ensued.
The man was perfectly contented
with his fate, and knew exactly when
the end was coming. He was visited
recently by the Grand Duchess Of
Baden, who sent several specialists to
see him. None of them were able,
however, to relieve him.

Upheld The Law.

When iHogg learned that the case
against Mcdonald was to be taken up
by the grand jury he went before. that
body and declared that if an indict-
ment was returned against Mcdonald
he would have the case dismissed in
Court.
"When I heard what Jim Hogg had
DONE" Capt. Mcdonald said the other
day in. discussing the matter, ~ went
to him and extend my hand saying:
"Jim, there's no use in you and 1
being enemies; let's shake hands and
make up .."
"Well, sir, Hogg grabbed my hand
and wrung it with his usual hearty
grasp. He declared that he was
mighty glad that we were friends
again. He said he never had felt
hard toward me.'
There two men remained warm
friends ever afterward. When Hogg
was elected Governor Capt. Mcdonald
was peace officer in one of the Pan
handle counties. He let it be known
that lie wanted to be appointed cap
tain of one of the Ranger companies.
He had been making fight against
some big cattle thieves in the Panhan-
die, and these men got up big pro-
test against his appointment. Nc
Donald went to Austin to see Hogg
and told him what he wanted.

Capt. Mcdonald said, "but if you
want them I can get them"
"I've got all the recommendations
concerning you OH file that I want, -
the Governor replied, and he reached
! up and took out Il pigeon hole in his
desk Il big bundle of letters, all pro-
testing against the appointment Of
Capt. Mcdonald.
} The letters and petitions were writ
ten by men with whom Capt MeDon-
aid had had trouble. Mcdonald got the
appointment, and he has held the
position ever since.
When Hogg was justice Of the peace
at this place he settled the cases that
came before him in a practical man
ner. He acted upon his judgment
and did not pay much attention to
the arguments of lawyers.
On one occasion an Irishman
brought suit against a farmer for

the ditch was not du pgroperly, and
refused to pay for the work on that
ground.
The question turned upon this point,
and the testimony Of the parties to
the suit was conflicting. Hogg stop
ped the proceedings and said:

myself, and I think I know when a
ditch is dug right. III settle this case
by going out and inspecting this
ditch.'
He adjourned Court while he went
to the farm and made an eXamina-

Enthusiasm The Thing Most Needed


a true and experienced evangelist
has said that teaching gospel never
brings sinners to decision. 1t is not
new thoughts, however true. nor new
revelations of Scripture truth, but the
truths already known pressed home to
the heart, that lead to conviction of
sin and reception Of Christ as Savior
and Lord. But the evangelist himself
needs an ever-increasing and deepen
ing knowledge Of Gods salvation, as
revealed in the Little Book, which is
given us to be eaten up, and habitual-
ly fed upon; then we "must prophe-
sy," for "out of the abundance Of
the heart the mouth speaketh."

STRIKES YOU ANYTIME.

Kidney troubles lame the back. so that every exertion or sudden twist sends keen stab of pain through the loinas and kidneys. Those paralyzing twinges are sure proof of trouble in the kidneys. Backache is but the dull throbbing of congested. inflamed kid neys. Headache dizzy spells and lan- guor are the effects of uric acid poison ing. Puffy swellings beneath the eyes. bloating of the ankles and limbs, weak heart and rheumatic pains are due to inaction of the kidneys.
 The kidneys are the filters Of the blood Their business is to remove the poisons and to pass them off in the urine. together with the waterv waste from food and drink. If the kidneys are inactive. these poisons and this waste are left in the body, to do dam age everywhere. The kidneys them selves become affected in time. and fall prey to wasting diabetes or fatal Brights disease.
 It Is best to give the kidneys help as soon as pain or uneasiness Is felt in the small of the back or loins. or whom any disorder of the urine Is noticed. Rouse the kidneys from their fatal sleep. Cure them with Doan's Kidney PillH the great modern kidney specific. No other remedy so we'll adapted to the
