TYSON SAYS SIX MONTHS.

The medical term for kidney trou-
BILE" is Nephritis. Medical works
agree that It is durable during the
acute or first stage and that 1t is in
durable in the second or chronic
stage.
When is the line crossed? One OF
the latest authorities, James Tyson,
NJ. D.. professor of medicine in the
University of Pennsylvania, says in
his late work. page 121, that the
changes have been observed as early
as the tenth week and are probably
established in all cases by THE
SIXTH MONTH.
The name Nephritis means infiam-
nation of the kidneys and the books
having nothing for it physicians
have been helpless (the deaths have
grown TOTO daily, and Prof. Tyson
plainly says: Page 156 as to cura-
tive measures to restore the kidney
to its normal condition, 81 BELIEVE
THERE ARE NONE"
The inevitable logic of this sltua-
ton is that as Fulton's Renal Com
pound is the only thing known that
reduces Inflammation Of the kidneys
after 1t has become chronic, Il is the
only thing in the world that people
can look to for recovery who have
had kidney trouble longer than six
months.
(Note-in fact, 1t is the only thing
that acts directly. on kidney inham-
nation at any stage. first or last.
But it naturally reduces It more
quickly before than after it becomes
chronic).

HERE'S A WEIRD TALE.
Queer Brand of Liquor Must Be Used
 in Tennessee.

Dickson CTenn.) Cor. Nashville American.
 Waiter Stephenson, while out training pair of bloodhounds, near the Dikeman Springs today was subjected to a unique experience. He had just finished a long chase with his dogs and sat down on T log to rest, when he espied upon the eastern horizon a specis, which he took to be a large kite. He paid but little at tention to the object, and shifted his gaze temporarily to other scenes. Soon his attention was attracted to whirr1ng noise, and looking upward he saw that the speck which he had a few moments be- fore discovered in the eastern sky had approached almost directly over him, and that the object was in reality a huge balloon, but of pattern and appear ance he had never in his life before seen. He discovered that the floating mass was rapidly approaching the earth. Of a sudden the observer says strains of music calculated to charm the spheres burst from the balloon which circled round and round and finally landed at Dkeman Springs. A number Of strange looking people emerged from the car, which was closely curtained with sub stance that fairly glistened in the sun shine that temporarily burst through the obseuring clouds, and all going to the big, flowing spring. knelt by it in sup plicating attitude and so remained for minute or more. MT. Stephenson says that while this was going on he sat quiet ly within speaking distance, and when the strange visitors arose to their feet and he supposed their devotional exer- cises were over, he asked if he might be permitted to inquire who they were, and what their mission? He said that in stantly a visard was lifted by one of the company and the benign face of lady showed rom underneath and said in Ger man, 'Haben sic Bete1?" (dld you pray?) and instantly all were aboard, the air ship rose, circled about or minute or more and was gone in a westerly direc- tion.
 MT Stephenson says that the incident left an impression upon him that he can never forget, and while he knows that 1t was some human invention, 1t looked and the music sounded. more like that of angels than of mortals.

\ LOGAN was Irish, ambitious, and
 regenerate. The two adjectives \ qualified the noun If he had not been Irish and ambitious. the many fac CTS" he had received in his thirty five years of>lfe would long since have ham mered the impregnable smile from his countenance. The two principal factors in Hogan's life had both been women, and they, the greatest determining influences that ever mold mans character-his mother and his sweetheart. Hogan's mother had died when he was 12 years old. The clay of his character had been soft then, and she the potter. had molded 1t as q mother should; fashioned it by precept and example. Now 1t had hard
 ened and the chief attributes embodied in 1t were Duty, Honor, Love and Char ity. Of course Hogan once had father. Sometimes he regretted the necessity of such factor in the scheme of generation. But what his father had lacked his moth CT had overbalanced, and it is always the mother that touches the responsive chord in the heart of the child.
 Hogan's mother had left in his soul, as a heritage, a strong vein of pure gold. His sweetheart had left a lode of pure iron. She had entered his life when he was 20; she had departed it two years later. She had found it happy, ambitious, commonplace; she left 1t unhappy. for the time being, unambitous and decidedly uncommonplace. For Hogan suffered moral relapse and took to drink and the level of the sodden. She had tilted him for a nt3R of better family, but personally of poorer moral stamina than Hogan. Hogan never even knew the name of him who had supplanted him. At any rate Hogans sweetheart passed out of his life twelve years ago, and he never heard whether she had made a permanent wreck of her own fortunes as she had made temporary one of his. And the bitterest part of all was that he still loved her and always would. It was his nature.
 Hogan had been an unfortunate for two years when he suddenly braced up and started in to repair his fallen fortunes. It required all the grit he possessed to suc- cessfully retrace his floundering footsteps, but he eventually succeeded. His moth- CTS heritage the vein of pure gold, had been temporarily smothered by the lode of iron But the latter had melted in the fierce fight for self-respect, while the gold had but emerged refined He was Irish. of noble birth. He had been an electrical mechanic; now he determined upon the police force. By hard work he passed his civil service examination and won his ap- pontment as patrolman. Then his edu- cation and grit came to the front and in six years time he had earned promotion to a plain-clothes man, and now headed the eligible list. His fight for promotion had been against odds internally and ex- ternally, and his probation of hard luck

glare from a neighboring arc light struck full upon the childs frightened eyes. Large, gray eyes they were, and as they met Hogan's vague memory thrilled through the latter. But it was not the eyes that had sent the blood pounding Tn the plain clothes mans breast. It was a triangle upon the childs right cheek.
 Hogan's voice was steady and soothing.
 And where were you going when you got lost?" he asked
 "To-to see favver," said the boy, strug- gling to keep back the tears.
 And don't you live with your father?' pursued Hogan gently. The child shook his head.

 "Oh," said Hogan. And so your father has just come back. eh?'
 The boy nodded slowly.
 Well, why didn't he come home to see mother and his little boy? All fathers do that the first thing. you know" sug- gested the plain-clothes man.
 The child eyed him in grave surprise
 "Oh. but you know, favver-favver can's,"
 Better let me take him to tn house. Ye're wastin' time quizzin tn lad," in- terrupted Mullaney.
 But Hogan impatiently shook his head.
 And why can't father come home to see mother and his little boy?' he asked gently.
 'Muvver says there is a lot of bad men who want--want to hurt favver."
 "Oh," considered Hogan And so you were on your way to tell your father to come home. that the bad men had gone away? Is that it. eh?'
 The child nodded.
 "Favver was going to take us away away"
 Hogan turned to Mullaney.
 q guess I know who this kid belongs to. I'll see him home" and taking the boy in his arms he started toward Sixth avenue.
 Have you ever been to your fathers house before?" he asked, while on hls way.
 Yes said the boy. "Once muvver says favver's been home for four five, days You're not a bad man?" he asked suddenly. looking trustfulIy into Hogan's eyes and tightening his hold.
 A queer thrill of self-contempt shot into the plain-clothes mans heart. For six years now he had been a stranger to that feeling It was dirty work he was en- gagged in-but duty and ambition stified his conscience.
 'No, I'm not a bad man." he answered, hurriedly And what does your father s house look like?" Jne DOy cOilSlueItu.

 Are WIG going toto favver's?" asked the boy happily laying his drowsy head upon the broad shoulder of the detective.
 Yes" said Hogan. But his eyes would not meet the trusting gray ones so near his own.
 On his way up to Thirty-seventh street Hogans big heart was raked by many feelings. For the first time since joining the force he despised his callng-and vet he was about to earn the much-coveted step in promotion. The boy whose golden head was so near his own had touched a chord in his nature that had not actively vibrated for many years. It brought to his mind his mothers face and her her itage of duty, honor, love and charity. But he was only doing his duty. Yes, his duty, not his ambition. He crushed down the momentary spasm of weakness, of self-contempt.
 The boy was very tired and happy when they reached Thirty-seyenth street and after a brief period of indecsion he finally located "favver's house." Hogan a grim smile on his lips. pushed open the hall door and ascended the narrow. meanly carpeted stairs. At the boys instructions he mounted three flights, then knocked at 'favver's' door. There was silence, then ed half an inch.
 N"Favveri" called the boy. The next moment he was in the arms of a fair haired man with a Van Dyke beard and brown eyes. He had a brthmark upon his right cheek-three moles formed like a triangle.

China's New Warships.

 It is stated in well informed official circles here that Admiral Sah has been notified by II E.

If the armament of these vessels could be provided by China her self 1t would mean the saving of large sum of money, and therefore the ad- mral is to inspect the guns which were saved from the wrecked cruiser Haitlen and see If they are fit for service on the new gunboats or not. These fine weapons have all been thoroughly over hauled and repaired and 1t may be well that they can be advantageonsly used in the way suggested. If so, Admiral Sah is instructed to notify Capt.

 How did you find him. Charley" For the first tme apparently. she noticed the big figure of the plain-elothes man stand ing silently by the door.

 Hogan's gaze never finched. He knew now why the boys eye had drawn hls soul He was looking into q pair of gray eyes he had not seen for twelve long years The eyes of the woman he loved. And by every law of God and man the boy he had held in his arms should have been his.
 There was inten$e stiffness in the shab- by little room. The mans eyes were travelling from Hogan to his wife and back again He was too stunned by the sudden wreck of his life to understand.
 Then Hogan turned slowly to the door.
