When Well Known Langdon People Tell
It So Plainly.

When public endorsement is made by
a representative citizen of Langdon the
proof is positive. You must believe it.
Read this testimony. Every backache
sufferer, every man, oma or child
with any kidney tronble will find profit
in the reading.
w. B. Gordon, Real Estate Agt., living
in Langdon, N. d., says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills deserve the endorsement of all
who use them and 1 am in a position to
state that they are a most reliable
remedy. Previous to using them, I
suffered from grinding pains across the
small of my back, directly across the
kidney regions. The secretions were
irregular in action at times and all sthe
remedies I tried failed to give me relief.
At last Doan's Kidney Pills we're brought
to my attention and I procured a box at
b. l. Donovan's Drug Store. A few
doses brought my relief and eventually
banished every symptom of the com
plant. I feel better in every way since
using Doan's Kidney Pills."

Joe. bewildered, looked around upon
the gathering teams and pointed to a
tract around which the boys had made
several struggling burrows.
Cali right. Now, fellows. hurry up!"
shouted the storekeeper.
There was a great rattling Of chains
and much laughter as team after team
went with it's plow to the corner of the
field, presently to send a long choco-
late ribbon of sod rolling after as it
took it's way around the great square
piece of prairie.
"Twenty-four of Them" said Mrs.
Mangold. counting with extended fin
ger, her worn face lighting up with
pleasure. The strange visitation and
the pile of provisions that had been
brought by the settlers had almost
overwhelmed her.
Following the plows were harrows,
and the land rapidly took on the ap-
p%earance Of a field long titled. The sun
was halfway across the sky when all
stopped at a signal from the store
keeper.

Correct. Too bad the old man puts
1t all on those two boys"
Buttoning up their heavy coats, the
settlers mounted their ponies and rode
homeward together.
There's the two boys now," remark
ed Squire Gillett when they had ridden
two miles or more across the brown
prairie. Looking off to the west, they
saw two small boys mounted on large,
rawboned work horses, their outlines
distinct against the sunset sky.
The two boys were jogging along
slowly and in silence. Their slender
forms seemed oddly in contrast with
the size of the horses they were riding.
They shivered in the raw evening air.
Heavy clouds were coming up in great
black masses from the northeast.
"We must hurry, joe" said n of
the boys. cor We'll get wet"

quite waterproof" said the other.
Say, Clive.' Joe went on after a
moments silence, don't you think it's
been a pretty lonesome winter?"
Joe nodded three or four times rather
ruefully.
"I shall be glad enough when spring
comes" he continued, "for then papa
can get out Of doors and see all the
folks"
"He's pretty sick, don't you think?'
Eyes, Joe, but mamma says he's feel
ing better, and if we're brave. strong
boys he'll get well again."
"But the blowing! Can we do it ALP
"Do it? We've got to do it, and there
are only a few days left before the
time will be up, and if we don't have
it done we shall lose the claim. It's
too bad the harness broke this after
noon, but if the storekeeper has some
straps we'll be all right"
The horses had started into a gallop,
and the boys bobbed awkwardly in
their seats. Over the swells, down the
grassy slopes they went and then, with
a still faster pace, whirled down an.
other declivity and crashed through
the dead sun1ower stalks and tumble
weeds that covered the bottom Of the
slough.
They had gone but a few yards here
when the horses suddenly stopped and
sent the young riders sliding forward

"More'n that, boys, l found out that
