WHY so WEAKP

Hopkinsville People Have
Learned This Fact.

When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without appar-
ent cause, becomes weak, languid,
depressed, suffers backache, head
ache, dizzy spells and urinary dis
orders, look to the kidneys for the
cause of it all. Keep the kidneys
well and they will keep you well.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid
neys and keep them well. Here is
Hopkinsville testimony to prove it..
R. C. Moorefeld, ST., real estate
dealer and associated with the Chris
tian County Title Co., residing at 222
w. 18th St., Hopkinsville, say: "For
several years the condition of my
back and of the kidney secretions
furnished ample evidence that was
suffering from kidney disorders.
The aching in my back would come
on by spells often, so severe that it
was painful for me Cto stoop, to

Obituary..

The death angel has visited the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Binklo
and made-it sad and lonely by TAX
ing away their sweet little Rob, who
was the joy and comfort of their
home.
Robert James Blnhlo was born
September Is, 1905 and died June
Ii, 1907. He was an intelligent,
lovable little fellow and favorite
with all who knew him. He had
just begun to say those precious,
sweet words, papa and mamma. y
But that sweet little voice is still
and the noisy little feet will be heard
no more in this land of sorrow He
had the terriable disease, fux and
all that could be done By faithful
physician, fond parents and loving
friends was done, but of no avail, it
was the Lords will to take him home
to that bright world above to live
with God and the angles.
Dear father and mother you can
say a. David said, ''he can not
return to but you can 60 to him and
Jesus said, "sutfer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not
for of such is the kingdom of heaven y
Little Rob was tenderly LAID to
rest in the Tyners Chapel cemetery
to await the resurrection and when
the trumpet of God shall sound,
then he will rise clothed with all the
beauties of glory and he. with all
the redeemed of the Lord, shall be
caught to meet the LORD in the air,
so shall We ever be with him. So
weep not as those who have no hope.
Dear father and mother bow in
humble submission to Him who doth
all things we'll be faithful and it
won't be long till you will meet your
precious loved one in heaven, where
diseases and death never come and
where We will never say good bye.

RICE SCARES TEAM
Girl Pinned Between Door and Carriage
is Dragged by Horses and Badly Hurt

New York, June 29.-Guests at
the wedding yesterday afternoon of
Miss Josephine Heine and Freder-
lex Dawson gathered around to con-
graduate the couple as they were
the home of the brides parents at
No. 1875 West Twenty.third street,
West New York.
May good luck always attend
you! cried the guests as the pair
walked to the gaily decorated CARR.
age. The coachman stood at the
carriage door, leaving the horses,
a mettlesome team unattended. As
the brides foot was on the step part
OF a shower Ct rice and old slippers
intended for her struck the horses
and they leaped forward as H. uck
with a lash
The bride was caught between the
door and the carriage and dragged
for dozen yards before she fell un-
conscious. Her leg was broken in
two places, her body bruised and her
pretty gown sadly torn. Dawson,
well-nigh heartbroken, raised her in
his arms and carried her into the
house.
Henry Dawson, the father, was
near the horses heads when they
bolted la the excitement of the
moment he thought his son bride
had entered the carriage and that
her life perhaps depended upon his
stopping the team. He clung to the
headstalls and was dragged for half
a block before his strength was ex-
hausted. The wedding guests found
him painfully cut and bruised and
assisted him to the house.
The team ran to Hudson Boule-
ward and thence a mile and a half to
Plum street, in Iron Hill, where the
carriage valued at $1,000, crashed
against telephone pole and was
totally wrecked

Pearl Found In Fish Eve

fish with an eye of pearl, fabulous as
the assertion may seem, was caught
here BY Peter Cummins in a we'll
known fishing place in Brandywine
creek. The prodigy Of the fnny
tribe had lost, by some freak, its
left eye. The socket was there, but
the eye which had rested therein was
absolutely solid. When distracted
from its resting place and submitted
to the blows of a light hammer, ii
was found to be as hard as stone.
By experienced fishermen it is said
that it is genuine pearl, such as
are found in river mussels of a pecu'
liar kind.

MYSTERY OF THE NILE
How Water In the Historic River Is
Regulating the Harvest.

Every morning from a little room
of a great white house on the east
ern shore Of the Nile, at Assuoan, is
clicked by telegraph to Cairo the
question, How much water?'
The answer comes. 80 many thousand
gallons more, or so many thousand
gallons less. \ button is pressed,
the water which flows under the iron
bridge at Cairo is increased or d.
unfinished some ten days later in
accordance with the Geographic
answer, and the intervening valley
between Assouan and Cairo has lit
tie more or little less water on its
surface. The man at the button
may bring joy or sorrow to thousands
Of little farms--it is all according to
the message he receives.
From the great white house there
extends across the river a granite
wall or dam $50 feet high. half
way up this wall, and stretching its
entire length, line of shutters open
or close by pressure of the button.
In the winter months huge lake
expands to the southwark, which has
every appearance of being food,
for, in certain places, the tops of
palm trees are observable above its
surface. and the SUBMITS of inundat-
ed ruins apparently mark the site of
sunken cities. As the days 60 by
and Cairo demands more and more
water, the palm trees and the ruins
seem to rise from their watery beds,
until, in June and early July, the
river flows freely with all its historic
Incidence.
Still the cry for water is unsat-
liable, and now the $50 feet of granite
wall will be heightened by % feet,
which will double the power of the
man at the button, and after that no
more palms or ruins will unfold them
selves, as the hot months come, from
the surface of the lake. The palm
trees will not be missed, but what of
the ruins? That is the tribute of
the past which modern agricultural
Egypt is called upon to pay.
Just south of the granite wall is
the island which holds the amphibi-
Gus ruins. Twenty-three feet of
granite now stand between it and
oblivion. 1t is named Phllae, and
is the burial place Of Osiris. a
temple of II columns rises on Its
