Apple Savings.

Apples we're at one time underesti.
mated; they we're scarcely considered
fruit rare enough for the epicure,
unless, indeed, they formed part OF
somo elaborate desert, compounded
and cooked by skilltul housekeeper.
Apple jellies, puddings, plea and
cakes might do, but plain raw apples
were iit only for school children, veg
etaI isns or the poor. All this is nov
changed, and the apple has come to
it's own again.
but IL its flavor has been at various
times esteemed or disci dited, at least
its wholesomeness had been steadily
recognized. "Apple sayings" are fre-
quent, both In our country and in
England, all of which testify in favor
of the fruit. la the "west countree"
theie are four such:
"An apple day
Sends the doctor away"

more:
"Apple in the morning
Doctors warning"

Eat an apple gong to bed,
KNOCK the doctor on the head.
A little less aggressive is one of the
midlands:
"Ihree each day, seven days a week
Ruddy apple, rnddy cheek.
More interesting than these is an old
orchard verse which used to be recit-
ed on certain ancient farms on the
pluoking of the first ripe apples of the
crop. Misfortune was supposed tc
follow Its omission, and it's utterance
was quite little ceremony, the first
apple over which it was spoken being
presented to "A young girl, who halved
and bit before auY further fruit was
gathered, or at least tasted. Thus it
ran:
"The fruit of Eve receive aud cleave,

And since tits sweet, why, pluck and
eat,

For that which Eve did grieye, be- |
lieve,

IA n ARK TWAIN is going to settle
M down. Don't laugh. He says
VH so himself, and when was he
known to tell lie? He Is not
even on the official administration list
of Ananiases. He has spent fully for
ty years telling the serious, sober truth
in his own way, and when he makes
the solemn declaration that he is go
ing to build home at certain spot
and stay there it behooves the public
to give him the benefit of the doubt.
For nearly seventy years Mark Twain
has been wanderer. He was forci-
bly, removed from the place of his
birth at the tender age of three by be-
ing carried in arms to farm wagon
that was bound to another town with
the Clemens household goods. The e1-
ample thus set him by his elders he
has been unable to resist, SO ever since
about 1893 he has been moving. Now
and then he has tried to settle down.
He has made brave efforts in that d.
rection, but always the pesky little mi
crobe of wanderlust has stirred him to
be up and away. In his time he has
enjoyed living at many places, but al
ways he has preferred somewhere else.
Mark Twain has been constitution
al tramp all his life. He was actually
tramp printer in his later boyhood,
though by no means one Of the pan
handling sort. Throughout his III,

Oddly in the Mems
Finds Child; Both Old.


Norfolk, Neb.-Miss Ella Daniels OF
Crystal Lake, near Chicago. in Nor
folk found her father, Josiah Daniels,
from whom she had been separated for
forty-two years. They had lost all
trace of each other during that time.
Miss Daniels was reared by her un-
Gle and aunt, Benjamin Brown and
Miss Jennie Brown, who live at Crystal
Lake. The father and daughter met
here for the first time since 1855, when
leaving his child to others, Josiah Dan
iels, whose wife had died five years
before, turned to the new west.
He came west to Kansas, where he
lived thirty-two years. In the mean
time Benjamin Brown and his sister.
with their foster child moved to Polo.
Daniels lost trace of them. He came
to Norfolk and made money farming.
Now he is retired.
Six years ago the lost daughter left
Pola and began teaching in New Mexi-
CO. Accidentally thru a distant rela-
tive, she learned of her fathers where
abouts Letters followed and yester-
day Miss Daniels stepped from train
to greet her unknown parent. 1nstinc-
lively she knew her father, and as she
sprang into the arms of the Il year old
stranger she said:
You're my father
II am if you're Ella" he replied.

WHATTHE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Uneeasing Work Keeps Us
Strono and Healthy,

Their Onceasing work NeePS Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
thru the kidneys once every three min
utes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is
left in the blood. This brings on
many diseases and symptoms-pain in
the back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, dis
orders OF the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness. irregular heart. debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
o. r. Wilson, of SO North Second
avenue, Marshalltown, Iowa, says:
"For the last seven years have been
sufferer with kidney disease, my con-
dition at times, especially Of recent
years, being quite severe. The kidneys
became very weak and irregular in
their action, and the secretions depos-
tied a brick dust sediment if allowed
to stand. Together with this annoy
ing condition, had heavy aching pains
On my back so that to bend or lift any
thing only increased my suffering A
short time ago, procured a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills, at Mcbride &
will Drug Co.'S store and began using
them as directed found that they
gave me great relief from my trouble,
and am still using them with the re-
suit that the pains in my back are not
SO severe and the kidney action is more
regular and natural My wife has also
used Doan's Kidney Pills with good re-
suits. and we both can testify to the
merits of this valuable remedy"

mature life he has been a high class
tramp. for which he need offer the
world no apology. He has paid his
own way and more, for everywhere he
has scattered garlands of good cheer.
II have lived more and in more
places than any one else ever knew -
he once confessed.
There is none who will dispute him.
Mark Twain probably holds the worlds
record as wanderer. If anybody ever
lived who has had more homes than he
the world has forgotten the individual,
for Mark Twain surely holds the cham
pionship so far as human chronicles In
dictate.
The present writer, being q fellow
tMissoufian. once boosted that Mark
Twain is the most famous man In the
world. The other party, after a mo-
ment's reflection, replied:
''Well, he probably is, for he has
lived everywhere in the world, and
everybody knows him personally"
Mark Twain, who has changed his
home SO often, has changed his name
only once. Off the stage and in pri-
vate life he is still known to his init
mates, when they happen to reflect, as
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, LII. D.

gree, which was conferred by Yale and
the University Of Missouri, that was

carried away from his first home, going

started from Florida, Mo-, to Hanni-
bal, thirty miles away, in the same
state.
Where He Was Born.
Florida was boom town in the thir-
ties. 1t now has population OF about
twenty-five people. The hamlet lies IN
Monroe county, northeast Missouri,
about midway between the two forks
Of Salt river. This noble stream, cele
brated in politics, runs into the Missis-
sippi river Just above Louisiana, Mo-.
in/Pike county. Down at its mouth 1t
is wide enough to make an impression
and deep enough to fish In, but up
above It's fork 1t is merely couple Of
silvery streaks,. Yet Florida was locat-

eel between the forks because the pfo,
neers imagined that Salt river was
navigahe for steamboats, or could be
made SO and with boat traffic touching
both sides the town would become q
metropolis. There never was water
enough to float washtub, and that is
why the Clemens family finally moved
away and most Of the other people
vanished.
Mark Twain's first home, where he
was born, was small one story house.
Opinions are divided as to whether 1T
still stands. Some persons aver that
1t was chopped up for stove wood years
ago and burned in the larger house
which now occupies the site. Others
declare that the original house, like the
star spangled banner, is still there.
His BOyhOod Home.
But the one really important Mark
Twain home in Missouri, the house as
ISOLATED with his boyhoOd, is still IN a
fire state Of preservation and still oc-
cupied. It stands smack up against
the brick sidewalk on ELL street in
Hannibal. This 1 set forth of my own
knowledge. for on Memorial day of
1902 Mark Twain himself positively
Identified and acknowledged it, and I
took photograph of the wanderer
standing at the front door OF his old
home. The illustration on this page
is redrawn from that photograph. That
was the occasion of the humorist's lat
est and perhaps last visit to his boy
nood home aud haunts. 1t was the st.
Louis Post Dispatch and not mere curl
,osity that was responsible for my pres
erce in Hannibal at the time. am
positive that it was Mark Twain who
stood at the door Of the old house, for
went up on the train with him and
witnessed his signature, s. L. Glenn
ems" on the hotel register, heard him
ask for a room with private bath and
heard the clerk inform him that he
might have room near the bathroom,
but the bath was not private.
> Mark Twain lived in that house =
dozen years or more before he began
to rove again, and after that at inter-
walls for q few years he reappeared.
Then for nearly fifty years he never
spent more than day at time In
Hannibal until the occasion mentioned,
when he went back and paid the old
town a visit Of nearly q week.
The house stands block or SO up

from the Mississippi river. Tom Saw
yer, who was Sam Clemens, could slide
Ieout of his back yard and into the BACK
yard of Huck Finn, whose family name
! was Blankenship, without leaving the
block. Huck lived on the next street
north. OF Huck's house / also took
photograph, but that house has burned
down since. The reason / am positive
that Tom Sawyer's house has not been
destroyed is that 1 could not have fall
ed to learn Of it, for 1t would have
been an International calamity. Con-
seQuently that house must be there,
and you can find it easily If you visit
Hannibal.
The Mouse That Mark Built.
The next home Of Mark Twain which
history records and which still stands
ia shack in the town of Aurora, Es-
me.ralda county, New, on the cactus
desert. 1t is stated by lady journal
ist of San Francisco that Mark Twain
built this house with his own hands.
That may or may not be true. Let us
not take issue with lady. The shack
Is built Of clapboards and other things,
with little board porch In front and
q stovepipe sticking up through the
roof. Here dwelt Sam Clemens and his
partners, subsisting upon canned beans
and hope while they tried to discover
silver in the rock regions roundabout.
1t Is Of record that they failed. Mark
Twain moved out, went to San Fran
cisco, Honolulu and scores Of other
places, not to forget Virginia City,
New, where he began to write for the
newspapers and found his calling.
OF course Mark Twain had many
temporary homes along the Mississippi
river, from Hannibal to the gulf, be-
tween trips as steamboat pilot or help
err. But they do not count. He has
said himself that when you stay a cou-
pie Of months in place 1t begins to
lock familiar, but that 1t requires at
lesst two years to make place your
home. In his wanderings he seems to
have adhered consistently to this the
Dry, for he lived two years each at half
dozen places in Europe-LOndonl,
Paris. Berlin, Vienna, Florence, Ven

Where He Will Settle Down.

$50 Mark Twain has settled down at
last" said the public when he took
this house. But once again the public
reckoned without its guest. Mark
Twain was born in the country. or
practically SO, and now in his seventy
second year the country entices him
again. So he has purchased a farm In
Connecticut near West Redding and Is
preparing to build house there land
settle down! It Is averred very stoutly
BY those who know him best that he
really means 1t this time.
The new house will combine several
European ideas with some American
notions Of architecture.
The farm has 100 acres-large enough
for wandering around in. But Mark
Twain is welcome to the rest Of Con
necticut and the world outside, and no
bars will be set against his wandering.
The world Is his home. His hulnor
and philosophy have made it q filter
place for human life than 1t used to be.
