The Perfect Way.

Scores of Washburn Citizeus Have Learn
IF YOU suffer from backache,
There is only one way to cure it,
The perfect way is to cure the KID
neys,
A bad back means sick kidneys,
Neglect it, urinary troubles follow.
Doan's Kidney Pills are made for
kidneys only.
Daniel Keaholtz, of Hamilton ST.,
near Geneva ST., Racine, Wis, says:
II had such a weak back that I
could not stand up straight. When
/ got up from sitting, I often had to
catch hold of something with both
hands to support myself and when
at work. my back got so tired |
could not sit still. There was dull
grinding aching always present and
I could not get any relief from any
thing l tried. At last heard about
Doan Kidney Pills and sent to a
Drug store for box and began
using them. They were the first
remedy to reach my complaint,
They went right to the seat Of the
trouble and, ] might say, put new
back on me. [ have not had a pain
in nv back since using Doan's Kid
ney Pills. I can work comfortably
and get up and walk as well as I
ever could. For sale by all dealers

WHAT HE WOULD DO.
Colonel Hayes Had an Answer Ready
For General Scott.

OF Colonel John C. Hayes, who
served with distinction under General
Winfield Scott in the Mexican war, an
amusing story is told by I. E. Parish
In his Gold Hunters of California"
Hayes, with his command, had been
out scouting. On his return he made
no report to General Scott, who sent
FOR him. General Scott was verita,

Hayes began by saying that he struck
the PADRES trail on certain day, fol-
lowed it for two days, and on the third
day, while his command was resting at
noon and taking their siesta, the old
padre came down ON them. The boys
gathered themselves together and whip
ped the Mexicans off, killing quite a
number of the PADRES command. His
own loss was insignificant--One killed
and three wounded. surprised you,

would you do if surprised when

BURNED TO DEATH
Four Coal Passers Meet Hor-

Steamer.

Grand Rapids, Mich, May
II. -Four coal passers were
burned to death, and one
passenger, J. M. Rhoades,
of Detroit, was fatally burned
when the Crosby line steam
er Naomi, formerly the Wis
consin, burned to the waters
edge early today in the mid
die of Lake Michigan. 80
passengers and all the crew
excepting the four coal pas
sers were taken off In small
boats by the steamer STRAIT
ford, and the Naomi's sister
ship Kansas, which was en-
route from Milwaukee to
Grand Haven. The loss of
the Naomi is estimated at
1925, 1000. 1t is considered
marvellous that the passen-
gers all escaped. Many of
them were taken off in night
clothes while scarcely anyone
was more than partially clad.

Here's to the Average Farm Hen.
Important factors in the production
Of superior quality of poultry, breeds
and strains and other conditions az.
fecting poultry raising have been in
vestigated at the Canadian expert
mental farms, and the information
gained in connection with testing and
Matching eggs laid during the cold sea-
son is summarized as follows:
The generous and gently stimulating
rations given to the fowls kept in cold
houses did not seem to affect the
strength of the germs of the eggs laid
by them, as similar rations apparently
did in the case of the hens kept in ar
tifcially warmed quarters.
Eggs laid in early December by the
hens in artifcially warmed houses
showed a greater percentage of strong
germs than did eggs laid by them later
In the season.
Eggs laid by the same hens in early
spring showed satisfactory percent
age of fertility, but the weakest germs.
The most striking and gratifying re-
suits were obtained from the fowls
which, like their parent stock, had new
ed known warm quarters. From-ffty-
five eggs laid by these fowls in early
spring-after laying well during the
winter forty-eight strong chickens
were Matched. In contrast with this
are seventeen chickens from fifty-two
eggs laid by hens kept in warmed but
comparatively limited quarters.
Results were strongly in favor Of
the average farm conditions.

Shout, oh, you that long have sufferedB
Give your sudden gladness voice:
1t is well that in your triumph you
should fearlesSly rejoice;
Drown the griefs you long have carried
in a flood Of happy tears;
Let the very stars be shaken by the vol
ley of your cheers,
But you may as we'll remember while
you sing and shout for glee
That you'll have to keep on working, even
though they've set you free.
Rise oh, you that long have groveledi
You have won the right you sought;
You possess the joys Of freedom, though
they have been dearly bought.
Let the flames upon your affairs cast a
glow across the lands
That so long have lain in darkness; but
there's work still for your hands.
Don't forget that even freedom puts no
goods upon the shelves
And is not thing that causes crops &c
sow and reap themselves.
Sing for Joy and pile your shackles where
they may be gnawed by rust;
Shout the glory of the freedom that is
given to your trust.
Let your cheers ascend to heaven, that
the angels there may know
And be glad tbA1 rfGhk has given wrong
another crushing blow.
D.st remember while exulting over mat
tiers as they are
That your freedom will not purchase
shoes for little Vladimar.

money of the enemy nor the blandish-
ments and offers of high command in
the British navy could pluck these
laurels from his head or the gold from
his shoulder-knots. He was more than
loyal-he was God-given to US!
I'VE all know the grand success of
the negotiations of our ambassador,
Franklin, aided by our special commits
sioner, Colonel Laurens, and the efforts
of the Marquis de Lafayette. How for
tunate the relations thus established.
and what great and crowning glory
came to us through our alliance with
France at that time!
Barry was the captain who was en-
| trusted with the grave responsibility Of
carrying this commission aboard
through the lines of the enemy's
blockading and cruising ships This
was task both greatand honorabl
and would have been quite enough for
most men, but not for our hero. He
was a fighter. 1t was not enough for
him to avoid the enemy so as to carry
his precious cargo in safety to it's des-
tination. Fight he must. And fight he
did, both on his advance voyage to
France and on his homeward trip. AS
result of the engagements he cap
tured ten Of the cnemy's ships, send
ing some of his prizes into French
ports and others to the United States.
He was one OF the brightest and
noblest of those who came to us from
the Emerald Isle, an Irish fisher lad
as the history Of America lasts.
What you are doing today in
honoring his memory is but an earnest
of that better knowledge Of our hero
which will grow with the history of
our beloved country. which he did so
much to make land Of freedom"
