L'ENYoI.
Could Not Stop His speech.

One of the justices of the Supreme
Court tells of a young lawyer in the
West who was trying his first case be-
fore Justice Harlan.
The youthful attorney had evidently
conned his argument till he knew 1t
by heart. Before he had proceeded ten
minutes with his oratOrical effort, the
justice had decided the case in his
favor and had told him so. Despite
this the young lawyer would not cease.
1t seemed that he had attained such a
momentum that he could not stop.
Finally Justice Harlan leaned for
ward, and III the politest of tones said,
mir. Blank, notwithstanding your ar
guments. the court has concluded to
decide this case in your favor"

The chief and underlying cause OF
the political disorders so prevalent in
our Spanish-American republics of the

the almost universal desire of Presi-

that, to choose their own successors.
Only In very rare instances are they
content with the honor and the oppor-
tunlty conferred upon them by the peo-
pie and willing to restore authority

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the CaaSe Of Your

10 Cure Them.

Many people never suspect thcir

lame, weak or aching back they
think that it is only muscua.
weakness: when urinary trouble
sets in they think it will soon cor
rect itself. And so it is with all
the other symptoms Of kidney dis
orders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they lead to diabetes or
Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. Il
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys.
Samuel Rice, the brick manu-
facturer who lives on Second
street, Richmond. Ky, says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills are without
doubt the best kidney remedy in
the world, and you may use my
name as reference. Until | tried
them | was continual sufferer
from kidney disorders and weak
ness, accompanied by severe back
aches. | happened to read one Of
the advertisements for the remedy
and was influenced thereby to buy
a box. The results were entirely
satisfactory"

filter and strain the uric acid and
other waste matter from the blood
which causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with

have tried it say the results aK
simply surprising, the relief beinl
