WHY WOMEN SUFFER-.

Women have SO much to go through in life that it is pity there is so much needless suffering from backache. headache. dizziness, lan- guor and other common aches and ills of kidney complaint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trou- ble. They have so much indoor work to do. so much lifting. bending and stooping; they are bound by custom, to tight. heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise. and any little cold may bring on a kidney weak ness.
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backache and bearing-down pains. headache. dizzy spells, faintness and lack amb.- ton. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question:: "Arc my kidneys we'll. The condition of the kidney secretions may give you an answer. If there is a brick dust sediment. or a stringy settling In the urine: if passages are too frequent and copious. or scanty and painful. 1t is time to begin using Doan's Kidney Pills.

Austrian Authorities Collect the Min
 eral For Use In Hospitals.
 There seems to be a chance of a radium clinic or special hospital for the use of radium being opened before long in Austria, according to n special cable dispatch from Vienna to the Chicago News. For months the Joachimsthal mines, have been sending uranium ore to firm of light works at Vienna, amounting to 10000 pounds, which has been treated by chemical experts in charge of. pr. Hietsinger: The result has been the acquisition of some $2OO,- 900 worth of pure radium, which will be given to various hospitals and scien- tific laboratories.
 The Physical institute of Vienna, in view of this experiment, proposes to set up laboratory at the Joachimsthal mines for the manufacture of radium salts. From this has sprung the idea that the radio active springs, which abound in the mines. might be used for drinking purposes. Samples of the wa ter are undergoing analysis in Vienna and if the results come up to expecta- tions a bath establishment probably will be immediately called into exist ence. The question is exciting wide spread interest in medical circles and among people generally.

NAY0 D sat looking at him moment " in silence. It was evident
 Ss that he was suffering some
 exquisite mental anguish, though I suspected, somehow, that 1t was not because of his imprisonment. There was something deeper than that; something that touched him more closely.
 "Oh, come, Jack," protested God frey, at last, "this is no time to put on the high and mighty. You don't seem to realize what an exceedingly serious position you're in"
 T know one thing, Godfrey" re turned Drysdale, with forced smile, land that is that didn't kill Graham nor steal the necklace. So know they can't convict me"
 T wouldn't be too sure of it. Things Ike that happen occasionally. How did Graham get hold of that button of your raincoat~
 'rm sure don't know"
 You wore the coat that eveningY SYes."
 "And the button was on it?'
 "Yes. I'd have missed 1t if it hadn't been. Besides, buttoned the coat up when started back to the house."
 Godfrey's face flushed, and his eyes began to glisten.
 You're sure. then, that 1t was on the coat when you returned to the house"

house and down to the beach. Along the edge of 1t he walked, scrutinizing every inch of the sand. Suddenly he stopped. with little cry of triumph, and caught up small bottle. It was quite empty. He removed the cork. sniffed 1t and replaced 1t quickly.
 Do you mean to say. Godfrey" de manded in astonishment that you have been looking for that bottle?"
 Its precisely what I've been look ing for" he returned exultantly. And I've learned one thing-never to mis- trust a logical deduction. Now let's go back to the house. And, Thomas" he added to our guide. take us back by the way that will bring us opposite the room occupied by MT. Tremaine."
 All right, sir" said Thomas. His room was right next to MT. Drysdale's in tn east wing-there it is now sir tn third and fourth windows from tn end"
 And the fifth and sixth windows be long to MT. Drysdale's rooh?"
 "Yes, sir."s
 A sort of balcony ran along the en- tire wing just beneath the windows, half covered with creeping vines, which in summer no doubt completely draped it. Godfrey examined 1t with shining eyes. Then he walked straight to the end of the building.
 'sNow, Lester" he said, I'm going to make prediction. I predict that we'll find the wall at the corner fresh. ly scratched in more than one place. Ah, now, see there"
 The marks were plain enough, and the cluster of heavy vines which ran up here against the house also showed signs of abrasion.
 "What would you say those marks meant, Lester?' Godfrey asked.
 ''I should say" I answered, readily enough, "that some one had recently climbed up to the balcony or down from it.'
 Both ways, Lester; both up and down. Oh, this is much simpler than I'd expected! Now take us up to the
 
 rooms, Thomas"
 But in the vestibule he paused.
 ''Is that the rack whore the coats hang, Thomas?" he asked.
 "Yes, sir"
 And where Mir. Drysdale hung his coat that nightY"
 'sYes, sir"
 Did you happen to notice, Thomas, when he came in whether or not the top button of his raincoat was miss. ing?
 "Yes, sir" answered Thomas slowly. T thought about it afterward. and it's mighty funny, sir, but I'd swear he had bis coat buttoned up tight around his throat. How could he "a done that If tn top button wasn't there?
 ''How indeedT' unused Godfrey, gag ing at the rack with eyes intent.
 Then they softened, frightened; his face broke into smile.
 "Of course" he said, half to himself "How dense of me not to have thought of it! Now. Thomas. we'll go upstairs"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-10-03


 s at first, sir?" he asked.
 Let us see Mir. Tremaine's room first"
 "very well, sir" said Thomas, and opened a door and stood aside to let us pass.
 There was nothing at all extraordi. nary about the room. It was large. well lighted, we'll ventilated, well fur nished-just the sort of bedroom one would naturally expect to find in a luxurious country house.
 Godfrey cast glance about 1t: then he went to one of the windows, opened it and stepped out upon the balcony. He walked along the balcony to the end where tEe heavy creepers were, took look at them and finally came back to the window.
 That's all," he said, as he stepped through into the room. "Of course l didn't expect to flEd anything here; our friend is much too clever to be caught mapping that way. Thomas. Iruppose this table is just where 1t was when Mir. Tremaine had the roomT
 "Yes. sir"
 Godfrey sat down at 1t, measuring the distance from 1t to the window.

 "Why, yes" answered Drysdale, look. Ing at him in some astonishment, "rea- sonably sure"
 Godfrey fell moment silent; then he shook his head impatiently.
 There's another thing" he said. "How did your pistol get out there in that boat?''
 That's another puzzler."
 "Now, see here, Jack" continued Godfrey seriously. there's one thing certain. either you killed Graham or Tremaine did"
 "TremaineT repeated the prisoner, with tightening lirs.
 "Yes. Do you know of any evidence e;ainst himT

One Kitchen to a Block.

A cooperative kitchen in the middle of every block to serve all the residents of that block is the latest solution of- fered for the eternal problem that faces every housekeeper.. says a New York correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch. The plan seems feasible In view of the fact that the new Art club studios have Kitchen in common for the use of small army of students who occupy bachelor apartments. It has been suggested by economists that a large kitchen be established In every block and that the place be under the direction of a chef, with several as- sistants. The housewife could take her food there to be cooked, thus saving the price of fuel and keeping the house free from the odor of cookery. and be- sides, in many cases. dispensing with the cost of dyspepsia tablets and pep sin.

Not Caught Up,

A man who was travelling through
the Ozark Mountains on horseback
stopped before typical Arkansas
farmhouse to inquire theway. whats
the news?" asked the mountaineer, as
he leaned his lank frame against the
fence and pulled his long beard
thoughtfully.
On finding that what had become a
part of history was news to him, the
traveller asked why he did not take
some weekly or even monthly perlodi-
cal, that he might keep in touch with
the world at large.
"Wal," said the old man, when my
pa died, ten years ago, he left me a
stack Of newspapers that high"-indi-
eating height Of about three feet
"and I amt done readin' Of 'em yet"

MercifuI Rabbit Trapping.

1t is confidently stated that the
shocking cruelties of the steel trap in
common use for catching rabbits can
readily and cheaply be prevented by
twisting few turns Of copper or brass
wire closely around each jaw, below
the teeth, where the spring flies up, 90
as to insure the teeth being always
fixed a full quarter Of an inch open
when the trap is sprung. Rabbits are
thus caught with equal ease, and
when tascn out Of the traps are found
uninjured. To complete their purpose,
the traps must be placed far down in
the holes and be regularly visited early
and late. These modified traps are
most successful, with advantages rela-
tive to food, while dogs, cats and
birds derive proportionate freedom
from suffering when trapped by mis-
take.

Deservedly known as the prettlest
Of the kings daughters, Princess
Maud long before her marriage to
Prince Charles Of Denmark had gain
ed reputation for originality. In her
childhood she was always the life and
soul of the English family party.
Apparently the only shade on her
early life was the totally inadequate
supply Of dolls allowed to her and her
sisters. So austere was their training
that very few toys were allowed and
no luxurles whatever. The Marquis
Of Lorne, however, managed to snug
gle some fascinating dolls into the
hands of the princess, and as the
youngest of the family she enjoyed a
few privileges which were denied to
her sisters
The simple training Of early days
may have been responsible for her
avowed dislike to all ceremony. So
entirely unaffected is her manner
that on more than one occasion people
have been entirely deceived by it. For

to allow her to say goodbye" to the

RAILROAD RUNS A LOTTERY.
Scheme Tried in Mexico to Keep Con-
ductors Honest.

Scheme Tried in Mexico to Keep Con-
dnctOrs Honest
George w. Hibbard. who recently
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
Railroad to take similar position
with the national lines of Mexico
writes Of a novel method adopted by
City of Mexico to protect itself from
loss through the dishonesty of its en-
ployes, says a dispatch to the Chicago
Chronicle. Mr.. Hibbard says that it
is estimated the company has been
losing $1,000 day by reason Of the
failure Of the conductors to turn in
all the money collected. The plan now
to be experimental with to stop the
practice is lottery ticket scheme.
The feature which Is of greatest in
terest to the public is that duplicate
numbers Of the ticket or checks issued
by the conductors to passengers are
to be placed in lottery to be drawn
under government supervision at the
end Of each month. The holders Of
the fortunate numbers are awarded
cash prizes which range in value from
$3.50 to 500. Tickets in the draw
ing are given free to passengers, the
only stipulation being that they shall
preserve them until the end of the
month. Notices to this effect have been
posted in the cars and in addition the
company is distributing a pamphlet
printed in Spanish, French and Eng
lish, describing the operation Of the
scheme.
Mr.. Hibbard says that 1t Is quite
certain all passengers will insist upon
getting from the conductors a ticket
representing the amount OF the fare
paid. Many patrons of the tramways
are providing themselves with small
card cases in which to preserve their
tickets, and it is expected that the
business Of the company will show a
considerable Increase as result Of
the general desire to secure all the
chances possible.
The greater part Of the patronage Of
the cars comes from people of the
poorer classes and those of moderate
means. 1t is, therefore, quite probable
that the larger number of prizes,
which are 209 in number, will be dis
tributed each month among people to
whom the money will come as a real
benefaction.

driving to the station in a dog cart,
could be a princess.
On another occasion, when she was
cycling in one of the royal parks, she
was stopped by a conscientious police
man who felt considerable nervous
ness when he discovered later the
Identity of the bicycling trespasser. 1t
is also related, with what truth II is
difficult to say, that at one time, when
under the assumed name of Miss
Mills. she was staying with an old
friend, youthful clergyman, imagin-
ing her to be young lady of his own
station, fell seriously in love, and one
day startled her by a proposal.
Open-air sport of all kinds attracted
her from her earliest days. When quite
young she was a plucky rider, and
used to set her brothers, Prince
George and the late Duke of Clarence,
lively pace.
Though the open-air life has always
been the one Of her choice, she Is a
hard reader, and Is also to be included
in the list of royal authoresses. In
Denmark much of her time was given
to writing, and under the nom de
plume Of Graham Irving she was
the author of one play.
1t has often been confidently stated
that on two occasions the prospective
crown Of an heir-apparent was laid at
her feet in vain, and more than one
minor potentate would have been glad
to have remained in England as the
accepted wooer of the kings youngest
daughter.

Bill is a handsome red and white
steer and he makes his home in the
stock yards Of Swift & Co. in st. Jo-
seph, Mo. He Is 2 years old and is
one of the most intelligent animals i'm
aginable He Is employed as deeoy
and he has led many thousands Of his
kind to their death during the time
he has been in the business of siaugh-
tering.
At one time Bill was the widest Of
the wild steers in the yards. He came
fresh from the Texas ranges and was
as full Of life and yigor as 1t is possi-
BILE for a steer to be. That was the
reason he was selected to take the
place IN the killing chutes Of his pred
ecessor, who had grown old and lit
tie bit lazy. 1t Is necessary that the
animal used in this business shall not
grow fat or slothful. He must be en-
ergetlc, full of life and willing to
work.
The task Of tanning Bill was under
taken and he was soon docile animal
and yet full Of vigor and fire. He was
then trained to /his work. 1t took n
long time to teach him, but he finally
learned what was wanted Of him and
he is now perfect decoy. Brig. Peb-
bles Of the western territory of the
Salvation Army, recently took trip
through the yards Of Swift & Co. and
he took great interest in Bill. Said
Brig. Pebbles:
II never saw more intelligent ami
NAL than Bill. He leads about 1000 Of
his kind up the killing chute every day
and does it with an intelligence that
Is remarkable. He takes his place in
front Of bunch of cattle and tries to
attract their attention. After he gets
them all to looking in his direction he
starts up the chute and as the leader
nears the end he curls up and allows
those following to pass by. II the
cattle are inclined to hesitate he will
start again for a few feet and then
curl up again, and in this way he
teases them on until they arrive at the
fatal pen. The animal seems 10 be
gifted with almost human intelligence,
and it Is wonderful the way he has
been trained. He seems to take pride
in his work and at times seems to dis
play almost a mischievous delight in
Turing the herds to their DEATH"
Brig. Pebbles tells also of big
black ram who leads the sheep to the
slaughter pen. He employs the same
methods as Bill does, but of course he
has an easier position, for sheep are
proverbial for their tendencies to fol-
low the leader. 1t is no difficult mat
ter at all for this black sheep to get
big flock to follow him up the long
chute that leads to the killing pens
The foolish animals fall into line and
trail up the steep pathway with pat
tering feet and are soon in the pen,
while the black sheep who lured them
on remains huddled against the side
of the fence, ready to go back and call
another bunch of bleating animals up
the narrow way.
