Mrs. A. Lind, of l Chestnut street,
Brattleboro, says: my experience with
Doan's Kidney Pills proved them to be
the finest remedy of the kind ever used.
For five years I suffered with a dull,
heavy pain across the back, so bad at
times that I could hardly get around to
do my work. If I attempted to rise
quickly from a chair a sharp pain would
take me across the kidneys and extend
up between my shoulder blades. 1 had
frequent headaches, and a cold always
made the whole trouble worse. saw
Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended
and procured a box at F. H. Holden's
drug store. They proved to be just what
I needed and I noticed an improvement
after the first few doses. In a short time
my back felt better and stronger in every
way. 1 know of many of my friends
who have used Doan's Kidney Pills with
equally good results"

Narrow Escape from Burning to Death.

Narrow Escape from Burning TO Death'
Mr. and Mrs Alamander Wheeler had
narrow escape from being burned to
death last week. Mr. Wheeler had Open
ed a can of quick drying floor paint and
thought If he warmed it before using ii
would spread easier and better. The
stove was hot and as he set the can on it
spilled over little and the whole gallon
of paint was on fire in an instant. He
managed in some way to get IL out of
door, but his hands were both blistered
In doing so. His clothes were set on fire
and the room was on fire in several
places. When Mr.. Wheeler returned
from getting the can out of the house,
he found that Mrs. Wheeler's clothing
was on fire. which he eXtinguished by
wrapping her in a blanket. She, in turn,
aided him in extinguishing the fire in his
clothing. Several pieces of clothing
hanging in the room were spoiled. Wa
ter was close at hand and in some way
they extinguished the fire in the room.
His advice dearly bought to all is, dom
set paint on the stove TO warm ii before
using 1t worked a very different way
from what he expected in his case.

THE LEGION OF HONOR.

Z Mr. Andrew Carnegie, distinguish
ed countryman of our forefathers-he
of Homestead horror, notoriety and
library fame, has recently been de-
corated by the French government
with the cross Of the Legion OF
Honor.
At the conclusion Of the ceremonial
DOW WOW incident to the decoration,
Mr.. Carnegie said: 1T is not deserv-
ed by anything I have done. but If a
heart that grows larger as it grows
older merits the medal, l believe
deserve it. for I find with each sue
ceeding year that l think more and
more of humanity
We are just one Of those peculiarly
constituted mortals, who take mighty
little stock in the "heart expansions"
of millionaire old men, with one foot
in the grave, whose hearts during their
entire period Of greedy money getting
never once expanded" to the cries of
humanity.
Mr.. Carnegies cold-blooded Offenses
against justice and humanity during
the homestead horrors, are not con-
doned by old age heart expansions, or
any other kind Of expansions. His
name is forever furnished with crimes
against, men, women and children,
country may forgive, but shall never
forget.

stars Of "Burgomaster." When the
big revival of the piece was made
two seasons ago. Figman has taken
front rank among the comedians of
the day by his portrayal of the char
acter of Professor Pettibone in "The
Tenderfoot." His delightful comedy
and dancing have been a surprise even
to his warmest admirers, audit is said
by the Chicago critics, where 1.-The
Tenderfoot'' has just finished a run,
that he is the best Pettibone that the
piece has yet made. Miss Ruth White
has fine soprano voice and acts the
breezy western girl, Marion, to perfsc-
ton. Other members of the cast are

THE CHILD-TQjLERS.

For the Public.
O children caught beneath the burd-
ened wheels
OF modern business! soon the I'M
purchased breath
OF God shall move the greed
which conceals
Our baseness that we profit by your
lifelong death.
Then shall we see ourselves as Justice
sees:
Blood guilty of these stunted lives,
these graves.
Then shall we ask ourselves: What
profits knees
Bent in God-worship while these live
and die like slaves?
Then shall we know the doom that has
denied
Soul growth to us while satisfied with
this.
o We child-toilers! crust is wealth,
and pride
OF place and power, so purchased by
the things We miss.
The greedmist lifts; for those who
see, thank God!
Loud voices now, uplifted 'gainst this
wrong!
Ye are avenged. O children, for the
nod
OF business stays the souls that else
were justice-strong.
Avenged are We: the final los sis our,
Base slaves to business, believing we
are free,
Constrained to close our eyes continu-
ally,
Greed hath one gift for us-and with
the hard heart bowers.
Avenged are ye!-since, sowing. we
must reap.
Accurst the toil-wSn coin accumulates.
Blood-stained, to bloodshed bring. The
end relates
TO those who make their souls like
childs forced labor-cheap.
But business shall not blast child Lives
for aye.
Men shall be masters cen of BUSH
nesss, soon,
Decreeing your release from toll. The
boon
Ye pray for now shall come in mans
sane justice-day.

KIND WORDS-THE GOOD
THEY DO is UNLIMITED

Drop pebble in the water, just a
splash and it is gone,
But there's half a hundred ripples
circling on and on and on,
Spreading, spreading from the center,
flowing on out to the sea,
And there amt no way Of telling
where the end is going to be.
Drop a pebble in the water, in a
minute you forget.
But there's little waves ALLOWING, and
there's ripples clrcling yet,
And those little waves ALLOWING to a
great big wave have grown,
And you've disturbed a mighty river
just by dropping in a stone.
II
Drop an unkind word or careless, in
minute it Is gone,
But there's half a hundred ripples
circling On and on and on.
They keep spreading, spreading, spread
ing from the center as they go,
And there amt no way to stop them
once you've started them to flow
Drop an unkind word or careless, In
minute you forget,
But there's little waves Allowing and
there's ripples circling yet,
And perhaps in some sad heart a
mighty wave Of tears you've
stirred,
And disturbed life that's happy when
you dropped that unkind word.
III
Drop a word Of cheer and kindness.
just a flash and 1t is gone,
But there's half a hundred ripples
circling on and on and on,
Bearing hope and Joy and comfort on
each splashing, dashing wave,
Till you wouldn't believe the volume
Of the one kind word you gave
Drop word Of cheer and kindness, in
a minute you forget,
But there's gladness still a-swelline
and there's Joy a-circling yet
And you've rolled wave Of comfort
whose sweet music can be hearG
Over miles and miles Of water just by
dropping kind word.
