veterate player, came home well

beard was plentifully soiled with
tobacco juice. In answer 10 the

meant, he explained that he had

ded the old man.

Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkhams s Vegetable Compound is the most eff clent treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women. and is the oDly med icine especially prepared for this purpose.
 When q woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins. backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination. swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices q sediment in the urine, she should lose TO time in commencing treatment with Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life.
 For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink ham Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer.
 " cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A Arrangement of the female organs developed nervous prostration and a serious kidney trouble The doctor attended me for year, but kept getting worse. until l was unable to do anything, and I made up my mind 1 could not live | finally decided to try Lydia F..

NOW FOR OSTRICH RACES,
Huge Birds in Training at Phil adelphia RaceTrack for
 the Purpose.

In this age of queer ventures, when no bid for the dollar seems absurd, even the plan of a man to supersede race horses by training ostriches to take their places in the track may strike some as a wise one. This idea, says the Brooklyn Eagle is actually being carried out at the Philadelphia race track, known as Barney owens course, the headquarters of the East Suffolk Park Driving club. About a dozen ostriches have been in training at this track for several months past, and several are in thorough condi- ton broken to harness and ready to race as soon as the time is deemed ripe for sprinGing the new sport on the public.
 It has been no easy task to train the big birds They are by nature a stupid, untractable lot, prone to take fright at their own shadows and ready to strike out blindly with their great feet at the mere suspicion of danger. By unlimited patience. however, the meaning of the harness has been beaten into the stupid heads of the birds, and once the ostrich is hitched to racing sulky it is not ditfi- cult to manage him. The agoniZing part of the performance is getting the bird into harness. This will be done be- hind the scenes, and the public will probably know little of the tremendous amount of labor involved in preparing the racers for the start.
 The only way it has been found po5-
 .l, .fa1, fe, f0 blindfold him. No matter how many times he has gone through the same struggle he will resist the efforts to haf- ness him with all his great strength and unwieldy weapons of defense To be- gin with, therefore, the attendants draw over the birds eyes a black hood. The hood is pulled down on the neck, :eav- ing only a hole through which the beak protrudes. When this hood is on the bird instantly becomes as quiet as a lamb. although up to the moment of the darlening of his sight he will fight like an enraged tiger. When the hood ls on and the ostrich stands meek and still the trainer drags the shafts of the suiky to their place and straps the bird tn the vehicle. Then he slips the harness over the ostrich's bill and the bird stands ready for the race. The hood may then be withdrawn, for these racing OstrIches stand still when the harness is fixed, they probably having grasped. ever with their limited intelligence, the idea that it is exercise time, welcome relis' from the confinement of the zen.
