If you neglect the aching back,
Urinary troubles, diabates, surely
follow.
Doan's Kidney Pills relieve back
ache,
Cure every kidney i'll.
Philip Jocob, wood carver, Of TAI
Fifth St., Milwaukee, Wis, says:
81 have had no cause to change my
good opinion of DOan's Kidney Pills
that I formed in 1898 when they cured
me of kidney complaint. That cure
has remained permanent. While L
was never confined to my bed from the
trouble, l was not far from it, and for
while [ did pot know what was the
cause, but finally [ concluded that it
was kidney and bladder trouble.
There was a soreness in the small of
my back and considerable pain. [ let
it run on for a time, thinking it would
get better, but finally found I had to
do something. [ procured a box Of
Doan's Kidney Pills at a drug store,
and [ noticed in few days that there
was a great change for the better, and
il q short time [ was thoroughly
cured. l have not felt any pain or
soreness since that time. l am glad
to recommend Do2n's Kidney Pills"

RichIand Center School Census.


The Repu blican-Observer: What is
becoming of the school children in
Richland Center? The school census
just completed shows loss of nine
teen since 1906. This year there are
666 persons 81 are boys and 355 are
girls; last gear there were 308 boys
and 377 girls.
The number of school children in
this city is decreasing each year and
it would be interesting to know where
they have gone. The population of
the city is steadily increasing while
the ranks Of the school children are
being deplented at rapid rate.
A comparison of the past three
years show a big loss. In 1905 there
were 769 school children; in 1906
there were 685 and in 1907 but 666,
showing a loss in two years of ninety
two.

Occidental Present Holder
of the Pennant

College baseball rooters and players will
be in evidence this afternoon when two
of the most important championship
games of the season will occur on the st.
Vincent and Claremont diamonds.
Occidental will probably prove today
whether she is to retain the champion
ship won from st. Vincent last year. For
five seasons the Saints held sway over
all amateur mines in Southern California.
Last year. however, Occidental won the
coveted title. The Saints were naturally
disappointed and have been working to-
ward one end. and that the winning back
of their lost laurels.
The st. Vincent Occidental game will
occur on the Saints diamond and the
student bodies of both institutions will
be out in force to cheer their mines.
st. Vincents lost a thirteen-inning game
to St. Marys and scored a to victory
over Berkeley. The Occidental boys have
done little playing thus far and their real
strength is not known
At Claremont the University of South
ern California nine will meet the Pomona
team.

The WREN

Criomthan came into Scotland a-foraying
with his men,
And always on ahead of him there flew q
small brown wren.
When the fires were lit at nightfall, and
the tongues of them spoke wide,
The wren was woman; and she slept at
Criomthan'S side
Her face was white as moonlight, and o
her face was fair!
Her lips were red as rowan is, and coal
black was her hair.
There never was such music as came
lifting from her tongue;
But Criomthan tired of hearing it, for
Criomthan he was young.
He stormed a Highland fastness and he
took a Highland maid,
The wild heart in his bosom beneath her
feet he laio.
He bade the fairy woman to Ireland turn
again;
Let man with maiden marry, but wren
should mate with wren.''
The Scots arose against him; like a rag
ing spate were they;
They dirked the new love in his arms
when sound asleep she lay.
They slew his men by force and guile,
they prest him day and night,
Till sudden madness fell upon the reiver
in his plight,
His heart was gone out of it's place and
lay with Morag dead.
And In the hollow breast of him a wren
had built, he said.
It's chirp was ever in his ears; he felt
it's feathers stir,
When his tears were hot for Morag, or
his dreams cold wanting her.
The wren came back to Ireland safe
sheltered in his breast.
Not all the charms in Ireland could give
him peace and rest.
Nor all the prayers said over him by
holy priest and clerk,
For a woman's anger hunts with owls
and wakes before the lark
And Criomthan perished In his fear, be-
seeching gods and men
To fling his body in the fire that his soul
might scape the wren.
Nora Chesson.
