Taste of Real War.
In the skirmish of the Little Blue and
what is known as the battle of West
port, which occurred six miles out from
Kansas City, the boy had a serious taste
of war. From a Quaker City lad out
West on a vacation he found himself,
of his own volition and without fully
realizing the gravity of the situation, a
soldier in the defense of his country.
When the kanSanS took their stand
at the Big Blue Reyburn was put upon
picket duty, and had the novel expert
cnce of capturing a prisoner. The story
is worth repeating. While alone in a
woods. Reyburn, who was behind a big
cottonwood tree, saw a man walking
thru the thicket. He called a halt, and

Up Salt Creek the tide is running.
As with straining sail and chord
Goes the good ship Jolly Failure
With her passengers aboard.
And she's crammed with merry people
All, in fact, that she can hold,
Many Voy'gers of distinction
From the Land of Fame and Gold.
Up Salt Creek there lies an island
'Twixt Has Been and Never Was.
'TiS the Isle of Disenchantment.
Where the passengers shall pause,
See themselves as others see then,
Drink the Waters of Despond.
Ere their ship again shall bear them
To ObScurity beyond.
Up Salt Creek the Jolly Failure
Takes her boatload every day:
Anyone can catch the ferry
'TIS an easy trip. they say.
But the men who take the journey
On that placid stream, alackl
Shall shed many tears and weary
Ere the boat shall bear them back.

Ship ahoy there! Can YOU guess
How Your crew must pass forever
From the Ocean of SucCeSSl

Where the sunset is unfurled.

Told by the Cards.

A young woman told tale of cruel
desertion to the officers of an east side
charitable institution in New York, and
when her case had been disposed OF
she started to leave the room, wailing,
IF I had only believed the cards."
She was asked to explain and said:
1--WE were engaged in Bohemia and our
parents were pleased with the match.
1t was all agreed what I should re-
ceive, and we were happy. Then my
father, to find out more about the
young man, invited him to play cards
with him three times, and when the
third card evening was over he said
No Only in cards a man shows his
true nature he said, and this man
showed me enough to show me that he
will not be good husband And then
when the match was broken came to
this country to my brother Then Max
came too, and we were married. But
the cards were right, and my father
knew" And dwelling on that point
and sobbing Historically she left the
ofice.-New York Tribune.

leaders cry of warning there was a
binding flash as the burning powder
exploded. Flames, smoke and nause-
Gus gases filled the little superstruc,
tlIre. in which more than score OF
men was confined. AS the powder was
not confined there was no report, nor
did the vessel suffer any injury, tut
every nook and Granny of the turret
was filled with fame.
The loader, who was. Of cou sE
nearest the powder, was terribly
burned, as was every other man in the
turret, with the exception of Eich and
Hansell, who, although scorched, es-
capped with injuries much less severe
than the other.
Two theories are entertained. One
belief is that a spark from the dis
charge of the guns f1oated back into
the turret through gun port and
settled onto the powder cases. An
other theory is that the spark that
caused the trouble came from the fun
nels Of the ship and fioated through
the gun ports.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS!
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame. weak or
aching back they think that it is only
muscular weakness; when urinary trou-

itself. And so it is with all the other
symptoms of kidney disorders. That is
just where the danger lies. You must
cure these troubles or they lead to dia.

Silence and Science.

Before 1t was determined scientific
ally that smoke is waste, smoke was
fixed as the final indication and proof
of prosperity. Today a smokeless
chimney means nothing less than
thrift and good management Similar
ly we now hear that noise is proof of
urban life, progress and activity. We
may answer that noise is loss as surely
as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort
Is loss and noise decreases comfort.
Disturbed minds are loss through re-
duction of mental force. But these
and similar consequences are indirect
loss. There is direct loss also. A rat
