 1 took his little hand and then picked up the carpet bag. which was as heavy as lead. In 1t he had put Q train of cars, an old broken kite, lump of wet clay and . dead sparrow. pr. Johnson didn't know what he'd missed.
 I hugged the boy all the way homo, and believe I'm getting as idiotic over him as William. When loves been adrifting for nigh on to 20 years. and is awakened by little innocence who falls pell-mell right into your frozen, numbed. old heart, you begin to realize there's something in life besides yourself. your dog and your hoardings.
 Then came that awful day. It was Friday. Black Friday. indeed.
 It appeared that one of the men driving sprinkling cart through the park was sunstruck. Norman Gray working near the spot, jumped upon  the seat to drive the impatient team and wagon back to the stable. The vehicle was an unusually high one, and always kept in a shed built for 1t. This Norman did not know, so, while driving in the stable he was caught between the low door frame and the high seat of the cart, which doubled him up and killed him in. stantly.
 The poor. young wife recovered and bore her great sorrow like the brave little woman that she was. When it came time for her to take Nibsey, who chung to me like young tendril around an old oak. I concluded, aad so did William, that the best thing for Nibsey and his mother (who had got position packing flower seedsl was to make their homes with us.

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord, nor will sick kidneys cure themselves Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia. gout, headaches, dizzy spells, nausea, indigestion. weak heart, gravel. stone in the kidneys, dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small of the back, Of first notice anything wrong with the urine, don't delay a moment. Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have a quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood. cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine, cure hack ache, dizziness and languor, and per- manently heal the kidneys.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Doan's Kidney Pills is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.
 WATERBURY PROOF.
 James Dews, of 33 Hospital avenue, says:
 "Doan's Kidney Pills are fine rem edy and I can most highly recommend them. I suffered considerably from severe pains through my loins and across my kiyneys, more severe during changeable weather or when I caught

RUMANIAN's HARD LOT.
Poor Homes of Laborers and Long Hours of Work in the
 Fields.

. Probably no workman in the world to-day is more to be pitied than he of Rumania, the little Danubian princi- pality in which agragrian conditions are so acute that revolution parallel to that of France. though on a smaller scale. may be anticipated at any time. says the Southern Workman.
 The Rumanian laborer is a simple hearted, kindly fellow. He Is rather tall. with the sallow complexion of the French and with an unmistakable sad- ness of countenance born of long con- turies of misery. The homes of these laborers are grouped in villages and these villages are like those of the Dahomey people at the worlds fair mere novels of earth, for the most part, consisting of single room, with a protruding roof to form portico, in which the, ,laborer spends his few hours of ease.
 Inside these homes show varying de- grees of culture. Some of them have their walls covered with white cloth much fluted and adorned with rows of lace in lieu of wall paper. Still others, however, and these are in the majority. are forced to content them- selves with a coating of whitewash tinged with the blue that is SO popular in Rumania. The humbiest simply have the wattlings filled in with earth to keep out the winter winds. Here the laborer sleeps and spends the wins ter.
 In other seasons at sunrise the men of the family and all the women ex- cept the one whose duty 1t is to attend to the home take the ungainly Cape buffalo and make their way to the fields. there to blow and SOW and reap in most primitive fashion. To keep the blow down firmly in the furrow the little ones sit upon the frame while the father guides the team.

As to Hats, Gloves and Neckwear

The princess yoke will be in favor this fall. It will be made of lace or have a certain amount in its construc. tion. Heavy silk lace is considered particularly good for the purpose. al. though Venice and Irish will also be used.
 As to boas and ruffs there Is little question that they will again be pop. ular. Nadine will probably be the leading material used. both in plain and in small figured effects, and in black. brown and blue more than in any other colors. some of these being dotted with white.
 But to come back once more to the present. very handsome volle dress Is shown herewith. The skirt Is simple full shape gathered to shaped yoke: 1t is trimmed at the foot with two bands of lace insertion. The deep corselet belt Is mounted on a Featherbone foundation. and Is worn with an embroidered net slip. The smart little bolero Is trimmed with a band of lace insertion threaded with ribbon. which Is formed Into loops and ends each side the front Beneath this iusYtlon is a friIl of the voile: the sleeves are trimmed in the same way. and are finished with deep lace rufiies.
 Hat of pale blue straw. trimmed with white roses. ostrich tips. and black ribbon velvet
 Materials required for the dress: Seven yards 4c inches wide. I2 yards insertion. five yards ribbon. 2h yards lining silk.

As to the dress. accessories for fall wear there are several striking inno- vations. One which promises to meet with success Is the Peter Pan hat. During the summer this shape found much favor in straw. and now 1t is to take its place as winter article. The Peter Pan Is somewhat similar to Scotch cap. being long and narrow. with a dent in the crown. These hats for winter wear will be of felt or velvet. although other material may be used.

What rage for white there has been this summer. White gowns, white shoes. white hats and veils. and shall we say it-even white faces. for no longer ls the beaming face of old Sol courted for that delicious tan tint erstwhile so popular. Much as l dis. like the lily wilderness, 1t nevertheless Is true that 1t Is not considered cor. rect at this season of the year to have more than the taintest tinge of color in the cheeks. And the ultra.fashion. able woman exploits a complexion of Ivory. dusted with pearl powder.
 It is not expected that women shall be quite reasonable. and 80 no one unless 1t be an unregenerate man will be surprised when I say that the very latest fad Is white mourning.
 Of course this Is not really novel. ty. The women mourn in white in at least one European capital, but in France 1t will be very real change, for there the robes of sombre crepe hold rigid sway. But this new idea of white mourning comes from Paris, and 1t Is hard to say just at present whether the idea will obtain favor with the women who control the fashions. but famous dressmaker Is strongly advocating the innovation, and already pure white crepe gowns, accompanied by pure white crepe toques. with long wells hanging at the back, are to be seen.
 But to turn from so somber a sub ject Wells are playing a very i'm. portant role in the world of dress this summer. They are long, extremely voluminous, and of every possible tint. The very latest novelty Is a Turkish arrangement of lengths of chiffon-tulle. Two distinct veils are worn. one to cover the hat and fore. head and the other the lower part of the face from the nose down. It is a truly hideous arrangement. but a per. feet disguise.

 Tailored costumes in soft rose Irish linen are much fancied this sea. son and the biscuit and brown linens have a great vogue.

Contrary Old Man

Prof. Lombroso. the Italian scientist, Is now 70 years old. but extremely will- full. and although he asks the advice of his family :n everything always acts contrary to 1t. When asked to put on evening clothes he often instead dons a lounge suit His Indifference to money Is proverbial. When he goes out he puts bank notes in the same pocket with bis handkerchief. 80 that when he draws out the latter the bank notes are lost. Now. however. after frequently finding himself without money while travelling the professor fills all his pockets with bank notes, thus hoping never to be entirely with out funds. even if the contents of one pocket should be lost

A Wonderful Escape.

Fieschi tried to assassinate King
Louis Philippe Of France in July, 1885.
The king was riding along the lines of
the national guard in the Boulevard du
Temple. There came a crash and q
rush of bullets. Louis Philippe's arm
was grazed, his horse was shot in the
neck, Marshal Mortier fell dead and
about thirteen other people were killed
and thirty wounded. Fieschi had taken
the upper floors of a house several
weeks before and there rugged up an
oaken frame four feet by three feet six
inches, supported on four posts Of oak
and Itself supporting twenty five gun
barrels fixed In grooves at various
angles so as to command an area Of
twenty-five feet In length and ten feet
in height. When he fired the train of
powder that let off his battery the king
would have been killed If four. barrels
had not burst and two missed fire.

DANGER IN DELAY,

The Crookston Times is Justly
alarmed, it seems to US. over the
danger in the plan of the state
central committee not to begin
the active campaign until after
the primaries. AS has been
often pointed out, Mr.. Cole is a
comparative stranger to the
greater portion of the state, and
it takes more than a month and a
half to get acquainted with the
people of this commonwealth.
Had Jacobson or Block been
nominated, the case would be
different. "
Mr.. johnson, on the other
hand, is better known than any
other man, perhaps, in Mime
sofa. His administration has
been popular, and the candidate
who snatches the governorship
from him has got to do some vote
winning that is rot slow.
There is plenty of time if work
is begun now, but it is time to be
up and doing.

DIR. DODDS.

DR.. Dodds, presiding elder for
the Crookston District of the
Northern Minnesota conference
Of the Methodist church, will
close a six-year term October /,
and we are safe in saying that
every church under his juris-
diction regrets that his time has
expired, as the church rules do
not permit him to longer serve.
During his term peace and
harmony have reigned throughout
his district. His kindly DISPOSE
ton, his tactfulness in handling
matters pertaining to the govern.
ing of the church, his manner of
disposing of vexatious questions
which arise, and his untiring
efforts for the upbuilding the
church and the furthering of the
work in the frontier settlements
and in the established churches,
has won for him the highest re.
spect from pastors and. the
layman alike.
There is some talk of a division
of the Crookston Conference and
the establishment of d new dis
trict. Should this be done, the
Pioneer, as well as the pastors
of the churches, the laymen and
the settlers whoknow DR.. Dodds,
wish that he might be assigned
to the new district with Bemidji
as his headq uarters.

THAT LEPROSY CASE.

A Cass Lake correspondent to
the Duluth Herald is responsible
for the story that the physicians
of Cass Lake scott at the idea
that Arndt Reton of this city can
possibly have leprosy. He fur
thermore says that Reton has
left the village and has presum-
ably started for Norway.
If the report it's true, the Cass
Lake doctors and the village
authorities are taking a large re-
sponsibility on themselves, allow.
ing man whom skilled physi-
clans have pronounced a lepor to
leave town without making an
effort to have his case passed up
on by higher medical authority.
The Bemidji city physician
took the only correct course; he
made preparations to place the
man under quarantine, and re-
ported the case to the state
board Of health. Through the
aid of friends Eeton was enabled
to make his escape before he was
quarantined, and went to Cass
Lake. BY
When the sick man arrives
there the physicians boohoo the
lep-osy theory and allow him to
roam at large, mingling freely
with the populace, as he pleases,
making no effort to place him
under quarantine until the state
board Of health can pass on his
case.
The chances are that Reton
has the leprosy. If 50, how can
the Cass Lake doctors and au-
thorities defend their action?
But even should it be shown
