makes are so busy they are unable
to fill orders until several months
after the time they are received.
Some shrewd men started in months
ago and invest each in several
machines of popular makes. They
filed their orders and made their
payments. When the time ap-
preached to have their machines
delivered they sold for prices rang
ing from $500 to $1,000 above the
price of the car their rights to the
machines about to be delivered.
The purchaser in each case were
persons further down on the order

rights to FIVE cars turned out by
one factory.-New York letter,

NATURE TELLS YOU.
As Many a Brownsville Reader Knows
Too Well.

When the kidneys are sick
Nature tells you all about it.
The urine is natures calendar.
Infrequent or too frequent action;
Any urinary trouble tells of kidney
ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
G. K. Page, real estate and in
surance agent, of Corpus Christi,
Texas, says: My wife thinks a
great deal of Doan's Kidney Pills
and says they relieved the dull
aching pain in her back which
had given her considerable annoy
ance for over year. They also
corrected the action of the kidney
secretions which had been rather
irregular. Knowing this to be a
fact 1 have no hesitation in en-
dorsing this remedy, and thus it
may be the means of helping
others similarly afflicted. "

NO THINKING HERE.
a Sensible Motto to Hang Up In Your
Bedchamber.


Bedchamber.
A prominent business man told
me recently that his great weakness
was his inability to stop thinking
after retiring. In this way he is
robbed of so much sleep that he
feels all used up the next day.
1 advised him to cultivate the
habit of closing the door Of his
business brain at the same time
that he closed the door of his bust
ness office. 'FYou should" I said,
'finsist on changing the current Of
your thoughts when you leave your
business for the day just as you
change your environment or as you
change your dress for dinner when
you go home in the evening. Turn
your thoughts to your wife and chill
dren, to your joys and cares. Talk
to them, play games with them
Read some humorous OF entertain
ing story or some strong, interest
ing book that will lift you In spite
of yourself out of your business rut.
Go out for a long walk or a ride.
Fill your lungs with strong, sweet,
fresh air. Look about you and OBJ
serve the beauties of nature or have
a hobby Of some kind to which you
can turn for recreation and refresh
ment when you quit your regular
business. Be master of your mind.
Learn to control it instead of al
lowing it to control you and tyran-
nize over you.
Hang up in your bedchamber in
a conspicuous place where you can
always see it a card bearing in bold,
illuminated characters this motto:
'No Thinking Here"
Shut off all thinking process Of
every kind when you retire for the
night, relax every muscle, let there
be no tension of mind or bSdy, and
in a short time you.wiR find that
sleep Will come to you as easily and
naturally as to a lttla child.
The habit Qfrthinh G after going
to bed Is faa TO all freshness of
brain work. f4lese men have not
learned to lock their business in
their Offices OF factories when they
quit for the night, so they drag it
home, bring it up at the dinner Ia
bic and depress the whole family,
or if they do not talk about their
problems their anxiety and absent
mindedness totally unfit them for
the pleasant companionship of their
families. They are so absorbed in
the problems of their vacations that
they do not know what is going on
around them. They do not know
how to relax, to unbend, to rest, so
they lie down to sleep with all their
burden, just as a tired camel lies
down in the desert with its great
burden still on its back.
It is a great art to be able to
shut the gates in the great mental
power house on retiring, to control
oneself, to put oneself in tune with
the infinite, to put oneself in sym
pathy with those about him, in har
mony with the world, to expel from
the mind everything which jars, If
ritates, all malice, envy and jeal-
ousy, the enemies of our peace and
happiness, before we go to sleep

A Rooted Lake.

A rooted lake exists in Siberia
near Obdorsk. This lake is nine
miles wide and seventeen miles long.
Its roof, natural one, is made OF
salt. Biologists say that long ago
a great part of the water of the lake
of Obdorsk must have suddenly
evaporated, leaving huge salt crys-
tails afoat on the surface These
crystals in time caked together.
Thus the water was entirely covered
over with them as though frozen.
The lake in 1878 dropped three feet.
1t found an underground outlet into
the Obi river, but the salt crust was
so thick upon it that it retained its
own level. Not dropping at all, il
formed roof Of salt three feet high
over the whole body of water.

The Old Buffalo DAYS.

There is on record at the war de-
partment, Washington. a document
bearing witness to how plentiful buff
faloes were within the memory of
many men now living. 1t is the ''re-
turn" for several rounds of cannon
ammunition expended in Kansas in
1867 to divert the course of a great
herd of buffalo that was bearing down
toward a camp of soldiers with a
force that threatened to overwhelm it,
At least one officer is alive who saw
these shots fired, and he describes the
herd as literally reaching rs far as the
eye could see. 1t was long time in
passing the camp, whose occupants
watched it in silence, awed by the
spectacle. General Philip st. George
Cooke at once halted regiment of
cavalry on the plains to permit n great
herd of antelope to pass. and he was
not a man easily halted when on duty.
His humanity impelled him to with
hold the regiment from mangling and
manning the antelope, which were al
lowed the right Of way.-Boston Tran

A Queer Servian Belief.

To hatch a chicken by holding an
egg for the allotted time In the left
armpit is believed in Servia to be a
certain charm against violent death,
more especially If the bird be swal-
lowed whole forty days after 1t comes
to life. A robber who had devastated
the district Of Kolubara for many
years was, writes Belgrade CORE
spondent, known to have accomplished
both these feats, which accounted for
the apathy of the peasants in pursuing
him, persuaded as they were Of his in
vulnerability. He was finally, how
ever, killed by the mounted police,
thus discrediting time honored Ser

Thomas A. Edison, the great American inventor, says ''Fully eighty per cent ot the illness of ankind comes from eating inn proper food or too much food; people are inclined to overin- dulge themselves. y This is where indigestion finds it's be- ginning in nearly every case The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the diges- tive organs cannot possibly do the work demanded ot them. It is at such times that the stom- ach needs help;it demands help, and warns you by headaches, belChing, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stomach. Kodol will do this.

From the Mail. DEATHOF SAM SLOAN Caused by Injuries Sus- .tained by Falling off
 an Engine

Sunday forenoon Sam Sloan, the day clerk at the rOund-house, while stepping down from an en- zine, slipped on the steps and fell to the ground, causing internal injur1es from which he died al most instantly. It developed at the Coroner's inquest that the fall ruptured one of the main ar teries leading to the heart.
 Nivens $. Sloan was born in Yates City, Illinois, on Novem- Der IT, 1856, and was 49 years of age at the time of his death on October 9th. Mir. Sloan had been an employe of the Santa Fe for many years and was a good citizen and pioneer of Winslow, where he has many friends who mourn his untimely death. He was married at Tucola, Illinois, on February 22, 1888 to Miss Laura l.. Lewis, and one girl, now aged 10 years, was born to this happy union. Besides leav- ing a wife and daughter, Mir. Sloan leaves his mother, Mrs. $. K. Sloan; one brother, T. M. Sloan and Mrs. Fanny Richter, all of Los Angeles, Cal. and an other sister, Mrs. Annie Widmey- CT, residing in Wickenburg, Ariz The funeral was held at his home Monday afternoon and was largely attended by the c1ti- zens of Winslow. Rev. See con ducted the services, assisted by the local lodge of Foresters, ot which he was a member. Mir Sloan was also q member of the Odd Fellows. The remains were shipped to Los Angeles for intern ment in the Rosedale Cemetery accompanied by the family and Engineer Edgar.
