seen the constant expression OF praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about
the good work they have done in this

ing the year 1897 1 gave for puohca-
ton a statement about my experience
with Doan's Kidney Pills. They hao
cured me of backache and lameness
through the kidneys which had chung
10 me for some time. When the spells
were most severe I felt as If my back
was broken. I used different remedies
but found little II any benefit until 1
got Doan's Kidney Pills at DanIortns
drug store. As 1 stated in 1897 this
remedy cured me. and now that seven
years have passed il Is great pleas
ure for me to say that the cure has
been permanent and l have had no

DUKE WHO WE'D
POOR GIRL GONE
Rome Discusses the Love Romance Of
a Noble Whose Father Fought
His Marriage.

ROME Feb. Considerable inter-
est is manifested In high circles here
regarding an attempt which Is being
made to annul the romantic marriage
OF the young Duke Della Sale. In
1905 the Duke while at Athens fell in
love with beautiful but poor girl,
named Marika Karusos. and made
TO marry her. The Dukes
father, however. was strongly opposed
to the match and took steps TO prevent
the union of the young people.
While the wedding was In progress
the young Duke was suddenly called
away by an urgent message and went
to the French Consulate What hap
penod there is not known, but it ap-
pears that tho young Duke was ad-
judged a lunaic and as such was con-
veyed TO Vienna. The father Of Ma
rika Immediately began an investlga-
tion OF the bridegroom's disappearance,
traced him to Vienna, and went there
and conducted him back TO Athens.
where the Duke and Marika We're mar
ried according 20 the rites OF both the
Greek and Roman Churches.
Some months later. while the Duke
and his bride were enjoying their
honeymoon. an agent Of the old Duke
succeeded IN winning the confidence Of
the newly married couple and event.
ually induced the young Duke TO go 20
Paris. where his father resided. and
make his peace with the family. But
from that time AN trace of the young
Duke has been lost and his father has
applied to the Vatican authorities here
10 annul the Dukes marriage 20 Ma
rilSa.
The latter appealed 20 the Pope but
received an unsatisfactory answer. AND
later, with her newly born daughter
the young Duchess came 10 Rome and
rs demanding justice from the Vatican
Tho old Duke, on. hearing OF Mari
ka's arrival here. offered her money
but the Duchess, although suffering
from poverty refused 10 accept any
thing from her husbands father. That
is how the affair stands. and the reply
of the Vatican is anxiously awaited.
