Pain is natures signal

FdlU lB ndIuFe slgnal or distress. 3 warning that must not be ignored Those sharp twinges in the back. those stabilize pains that follow any sudden twist or turn, are simply signs of hidden danger in the kidneys.
 No trouble starts more easily, gains ground more rapidly, nor proves more often fatal than any disorder of the kidneys. All the outward ap- pearances of health may remain until a terrible disease had taken root.
 IL Is best to learn the duties of the kidneys. to watch for early signs of trouble. and to correct any irregular fly before it's serious stage begins.
 The blood goes to the kidneys in an incessant stream. to be cleared of poi con and relieved of surplus water. This is passed of by the kidneys in the urine IL Is the retention of poi son in kidney trouble that breeds fatal disease.
 Don't wait The moment you feel any uneasiness. lameness or pain in the back. the moment the urine shows irreguIarity- either in it's ap- pearance. or in the quantity or num- Der of the passages. begin with Deans Kidney Pills This remedy has been euTing kidney troubles for seventy sin years. and never yet has failed

The Tenors' Parts,

Probably the composers are largely responsible for tenor worship. In Yer dis operas. with hardly an exception. the tenor plays q more important part than the baritone CT bass. and the same i3 true of other opera writes, Mozart's Don Giovanni being a nota- ble exception. Wagner wrote one opera. 'The Flying Dutchman," fin which the baritone is king whereas in six of his works the supremacy of the tenor Is indicated by the very titles "Eicnzi." 'Tannhauser." "LOhnngrin." Tristan und Isolde" 'Siegfried.' "Parsifal." This being so. we shall probably continue to be subject to the tyranny of one tenor or another. unless il be true. as was maintained at a con clave of French savants. that the teno. voice is a relic of barbarism, destined 10 become extinct.-Argonaut.

The compensated supporters of the president and his policies, including most of the pOstmaSters and other small and great office holders, and some newspaper writers, now claim that he has won the heart of the south, as well as that of other sec tiOns. They seem to imagine that the southern people, like themselves, are willing to barter away their princi- pies for a personal largess. But they are sadly mistaken. For, while those people earnestly desire the improve ment of the Mississippi and it's tribu- taries, they have not lost their man. hood yet There may he Esaus among them, as among other peoples, but in the main. they still prize their birth right of honor too much to sell it for a mess of pOttage.

DIET AND SLEEP.
Eating Before Retiring and Digestion
 During SIumber.

[ During SIumber.
 Diet has little influence on sleep eX- cept in so far as it may produce dis turbances of digestion and through these of the general balance of health.
 The hypnotic effects of certain foods, such as onions, lettuce, milk, etc, are chiefly imaginary. Even the time of the last meal of the day is of relative ly little importance except that it is well to let this be at least two or three hours before retiring But even this rule has many exceptions, as many healthy labOring men habitually fall asleep over their pipes directly after supper, and children after poking the spoon into their little eyes nod off over the tea table. with the bread and but ter still clutched in their chubby fists.
 The processes of digestion probably go on more slowly during sleep. but they are perfectly carried out, as is il- lustrated by the almost invariable hab- it among animals of going to sleep directly after meal
 Indeed, moderate amount of food in the stomach or intestincS seems to promote slumbcr. Many night workers. for instance. sleep much better for talk ing light or even full supper just be- fore retiring Woods Hutchinson in American Magazine

Poems. Pictures and snnns-

It takes all kinds of people to make up world and all kinds of poetry to make up a world literature. Despite thc efforts of the critics to lay down definite canons of judgment for tho literary, pictorial and musical arts most of us continue to like a poem. a picture or song for no better reason than because We like it. It appeals to uS. and if it does that it is for US true poem. picture or song. Whether it is tO be ClasScI among the great products Of art is another question. That depends upon the universally and pcrmanence of the appeal it makes.-Currcnt Literature.

The Spleen as Food.

In France and Italy many persons eat the spleen, what We call in French "ratte." I have eaten it myself. Gen erally from pig it weighs about eight ounces, and it is situated on the right side of the pig, touching the liver. A spleen from a COW or bull weighs about two pounds. but is a little more spOngy than the pigs spleen, which is the best.

CAUGHT THE THIEF.
An Incident Which Illustrates Japanese
 Detective Methods.

Detective Methods.
 Recently in the village of Tahara-
 mura, Japan, all the male inhabitants above the age of fifteen years were as. sembled in front of the local Shinto shrine at the call of the village chief. A thief had been making deprcdations in the local tobacco plantations, and the chief sought to discover him. Out lines of the feet of all the villagers were taken on sheets of paper, and then these were compared with tAc tracks left by the thief in the tobacco fields. Nothing resulted from this eX- pertinent. The next day the inhabit- ants were called together again. A great hole was dug in the ground, and q raging charcoal fire was built ill it. All persons present were ordered to walk through the fire baref0oted, it being declared that no person would be burned except the guilty one. All advanced to undergo the ordeal except one. Shukichi Shihata, a man of evil reputation. He declined to trust his feet to the redhOt cOals. Accordingly he was arrested and soon confessed his guilt.

Indian WummieS Found in
 Alaska.

Students and those interested in the past will have an opportunity, at the Alaska ka-Yukoa-Pacifc Exposition at Se- attle in 1909 to examine side by side two mummies, which although they be- long to different ages, peoples and DOT tions of the world, yet are the most perfect of their kind that archeologists have yet discovered.
 The wonderful mummies of Egypt are known to every school child; the no less wonderful mummies of the natives of the Aleutian archipelago have sell dom, if ever, been exhibited. The big Exposition that will be open for the four and half months succeeding the first of June, 1909, will have several Egyptian mummies in it's curio eXhi- bibition, New York, Philadelphia and McGill in Canada, each having some very perfect specimens of the Royal family of the land of the Nile
 H. A. Bauer of Seattle and Sitka on a recent trip to Seattle brought with him a story of newly discovered cave tiled with mummies. The cave is on small island of the Aleutian group-evidently a sacred isIe-where the ancients of the northern races buried the great of their nation. Chiefs, medicine men and witch charmers, as we'll as great warri- ors were embalmed and laid in the sea cave where the dry air kept them for ages undisturbed. It was the universal belief among the Boring Sea Indians that so long as the bodies of these war riors were preserved from natural de- cay, their spirits lowered about the tribe and fought off the evil spirits of their hereditary enemies. There are about fifty mummies in the cave from which Bauer obtained the one now in the city, and the best of these will be selected by the commissioners of the Exposition and will be brought to Se- attle and laid side by side with the mummies of the kings who lived in lower Egypt before the Parthenon had been built on it's great hill, and before the wolf that mothered the Roman Em- pire had wandered in the forest of the Seven Hills.

Father of Alaska Will be.
 Honored.

Of Seattle's three plans to honor men famous in the early history of the northwest with statutes at the Alaska. Yukon. Pacific Exposition, the one in connection with the statute to William H. Seward has progressed fnrthest The plans for the statute to John Jacob Astor, the founder of Astoria, Oregon the first trading post on the Pacific slope, and to Ranald Mcdonald, the first American trader to cross the Pa cific, are still being worked upon, but the preliminaries as regards the statue to the father of Alaska, have all been settled. Richard E. Brooks, the we'll known sculptor of New York and Paris has been commissioned to submit de- sign for the statue, and Cass Gilbert, the architect, also of New York, has been requested to design the pedestal.
 The Seward monument committee made these selections from long list of the most prominent American sculP- tors, the work and record Of each being carefully considered. Both men agree to have the work completed in plenty of time for the opening of the Alaska Yukou-Pacifc Exposition on June l, 1909, for the Seward statue as we'll as that of Astor and of Mcdonald will stand upon the grounds of the Expo- sition, and the unveiling of these will be among the early ceremonials at the Exposition. The qualifications of Brooks aod Gilbert for the work are admitted on all sides. In the case of Brooks some of his work entities him, in the estimation of member of the committee, to place in the front rank of American sculptors; it has been fa- vorably received in the salons of Paris. Among the statues turned. from his hand is that of Thomas Class, i'll the public gardens of Boston, recognized as one of the masterpieces of American art. For this he was awarded gold medal at the Paris salon in 1899, first class gold medal at the Paris exposition in 1900, and similar recognition at the Pan-American at Buffalo, in 1901. Other pieces of Brooks work are the statue of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, fam ous as a signer of the Declaration of Independence; and John Hanson, both of which were executed for the State of Maryland and placed in statuary hall at Washington, D. c. Mir. Brooks chiseled also the statue and pedestal of Robert Treat Paine, a prominent revolutionary patriot for Taunton, Mass.
 Cass Gilbert, the architect selected for the work on the pedestal, has made a splendid reputation in New York and elsewhere iu the East.

It wasn't Missouri editor but a printers devil who was going through his first experience on making up" forms. The paper was late and the boy got the galleys mixed. The first part of the obituary notice of pecunious citizen had been dumped in the forms, and the next handful of type came off galley describing recent fire. 1t read like this. "The pallbearers lower ed the body into the grave and as it was consigned to the flames there were few if any regrets, for the old wreck had been an eyesore to the town for years. Of course there was individual loss, but that was fully covered by in- suranco."
