WATCHING A TENDRILL GROW.
It Carefully Examines Objects and
 Works With Wonderful Rapldity.

TendriIs will reach out toward us if we place our hands in contact wun them, and will even use nnger as support to climb upon.
 They are indeed capable of exhibit ing faculties and going through avo- lutions more wonderful perhaps tAa many of us realize.
 Tt is only after we have seen them at work" says a writer In 'Iarpers Monthly testing with their sensitive tips the objects they come Tn contact with. apparently considering their suit ability as a support. and thea i'cep.- flag or rejecting them. as the case 'hay belt is only then that we rei''Ze how Justly they have teen called the brains of plant life.
 "The thoroughness with which these wandering tips explore their surrounC ings is illustrated by an instance l ob- served in grape vine tendril. A cherry branch, whose leaves had been variously punctured and scalloped by inse ts hung near the tendril. ana particular leaf had just one small hole in its blade, not more than three-slx- teenths of an inch in diameter.
 'So careful had been the exploration of the leafs surface that this one small hole had been discovered by the tcn- drll, which had thrust itself, nearly

Cat. on Federal Payroll.

The retirement of William R. Will cox from the postmastership of New York to become chairman of the public service commission may mean much to three veteran cats who police the depths of the Federal building at night and for whose service in exterminat- Nng rats the United States government makes an allowance of $50 each year for food supplies. That is 1t may mean much unless Mir. Willcox's suc-. csssor as postmaster shares his great fondness for the feline family. Mr. Wilcox like cats and is frank in show ing his liking. but the same cannot be said of all of his former subordinates in the postal service. Assistant Post master Morgan thinks cats are al(l right-"in their place. and that place in the cellar" But Tom Platt" and Teddy Roosevelt and Dave Hill" like tho big, soft rug in the postmaster's office and disagreed with Mir.

Home testimony proves the unfailing merit of Doan's Kidney Pills.
 MONTG0MERY TESTIMONIAL.
 J. P. Howell. living at Bibb Street. Montgomery, Ala, says: For long time l suffered with kidney trouble. The disease first showed itself in an attack of backache and later on my kidneys became disordered. 1 thought these symptoms were due to a cold which I had contracted and that It case. however. for instead of getting better. 1t became much worse until finally l had to see a doctor. What bothered me the most was the dizzy spells which attacked me, I procured box of Doans Kidney Pills and they gave me so much relief that I got an other and kept on taking the remedy until I was cured. The dizzy spells. the headaches and the backaches en- tirely left me, and 1 am now in the best of health, have no kidney trouble and have not had any in over a year. It gives me pleasure to endorse a rem edy of such real merit as Doan's Kid. neY Pills"

Does your back ache7 Do you get up lame in the morning? Do you feel dull and tired? Does it hurt you to bend over to life anything. to get up from a chair? Do you have sudden "catches," or stitches, of pain in the back. Does a dull throbbing ache settle in the small of your back and bother you day and night? Do you sometimes feel that you simply cannot straighten up?
 If you have backache, be careful not to make the very common mistake of treating IL as a muscular trouble. Do not rub the sore place with lni- ment nor put on plasters. for the seat of the trouble is inside-in the kid neys, which lie just beneath the small of the back. on either side of the spine.

 The herd will raise the standard of the dairy stock in this valley very materially and is a vast display of enterprise on the part of NIT. Free stone.
 Carlsbad Current: Live stock Inspector Toner returned Saturday from trip to the southeast corner of the county where he inspected cattle for shipment over the T. & P. to Ft. Worth. The Drapers shipped 120, San Simons 434, J. O. King 23S, and Bill Hudson 3l4, all fat COWS. The stock cars were wait ing on arrival of the cattle in Mon- ahans. The T. < P. seems to have no trouble whatever on account of cars and all Eddy county will shortly be driving to the T. < P. unless the Santa Fe can furnish cars on time Tn the future.
 Albuquerque Journal: William Farr, the we'll known cattleman and meat merchant, is considerably mystitied over the rather remark able disappearance of thirty-two fat beef cattle which he drove into his pasture south of the stock yards Tuesday night. The pasture is in- closed in a good fence in which no breaks are visible but when the owner came to look at the cattle yesterday morning they had entire ly disappeared. At last accounts last night Mir. Farr and a number of men had searched all over the locality in vain for the cattle. It IS hardly conceivable that any stock thief would be so enterprising as to attempt to trek for the tall timber with thirtv-two fat cattle. Meanwhile Mir. Farr is consider ably puzzled. The cattle had just arrived to MT. Farr's order on a train from the south.
