FREDERICK AND VoLTAlRE.
Stormy Relations Of the Misery King
and The lavish Author.

The world knows plenty about the
elements Of strength in the characters
Of great men, but less about their
weaknesses. Here is story that
shows the other side Of the natures Of
Frederick the Great and voltaire:
Frederick the Great had a leaning
toward literature. He wrote poems,
plays and booklets that. in his opin-
ion. possessed rare merit. So It
seemed fitting to him that great liter
airy men should fraternize. and be sent
an invitation to voltaire to be his
guest. Accompanying the invitation
was a sum Of money to defray the
great Frenchman's travelling expenses
to the Prussian capital.
Let 1t be explained at this point that
Frederick was extremely penurious
and that voltaire was not only ex-
travagant, but had many Of the char.
acteristics Of what we would now call
a CRATER. II should also be under
stood that Frederick despised graft
ing. and voitaire abhorred miserli-
ness.
IN Voltaire accepted the inyitatlon-and
then had an afterthought. Why moi
take a favorite niece with him? So
he wrote to the king that II he would
send an extra thousand louis he would
bring the girl,
'Sir,'" replied the king, Il did moi
ask the young lady to do me the honol
Of visiting me. and shall send moth
ing to pay her expenses"
'sThe old miserp' said Yoltaire to /
friend. "He has tubs Of money in hi'
treasury. yet win not grant me thil
wish"
However, voltaiFe went to Berlin, bu
each found that he hated the other to-
much to make their friendship peFmR
nent.
The king once gave voltaire q pack
age Of poems to revise.
"See." said Foltaire to German no
bleman, what a quantity OF dirt.
linen Frederick has sent me to washI'
The king thought his guest was to-
free with the chocolate and sugar AMI
gave orders that he be put on Ee
strlcted daily allowance.
Voltaire retallated by gathering al
the wax candles he could find in tn
halls and storing them in bis, trunk

THE STORAGE WAREHOUSE.

Il Sheds Some Side Lights Upon Life
and Morals.
For few dazzling side lights upon
life aud morals apply to the storage
warehouse. You can find almost any
thing there from baby alligators to
blocks Of ice cream and from Teddy
bears to sauerkraut. So you won't be
amazed at what the institution has
most recently dlvulged. Here you have
the story:
Mrs. Q. repaired to the storage ware
house to extract her soup spoons,
though It may have been aunts or un-
cles or popcorn or guinea pigs, At any
rate, her property declined to come out.
1t had been tucked in by Mr.. @. Only
Mr.. Q. might tempt 1t forth. Mrs. @,
protested. She wanted her catnip or
theology or safety razor. or whatever
It was, and made representations with
great emphasis. She moved upon the
management. She stormed and wept.
After long wrangllng the warehouse
decided II would yield mp the college
ice-or was It the pianol--it Mrs, Q,
would swear she was stilI married to
Mr.. Q. and would send him a written
statement he was in Quebec, and !
lost track Of him owing to bewilder-
ment produced by merely thinking Of a
storage warehouse) and make him re-
turn the statement, counterslgned, to
the management This, then, Is how
Mrs, G. regained possession Of her golf
links or prayer book or sugar tongs.
Well, say 1t was sugar tongs, though
golf links would be likeller.
Pressed for an explanation, the ware
house remarked: "Have to be careful,
you divorces, separations, af-
fnities, you know. Minute such things
start up there's a race to the storage
place. Game Is for each to snatch out
everything first. Becomes embarrass-

THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily. when unhealthy some parts of
this impure matter is left in the
blood. This bring on many diseases
and symptoms pain in the back,
headache, nervousness. hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders
of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart. debility, drow-
siness. dropsy, deposits in the urine,
etc. But is you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.

living on Flynn ST., Redwood Falls,

DEATH OF TWO RULERS
PUTS LITTLE CHILD
ON THRONE
Prince Pu vi. Three Years Old.
VIII Direct lhe Empire Of
China Hereafter.
DOWACERS DEATH
ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY

Pekin, Nov. 16.--The Dowager Ems
press of China died at O'Clock sun
day afternoon. according to an off,
cial announcement. The same au-
thority announces that Prince Pu vi,
the three-year-old son of Prince
Chun, the regent, has been placed on
the throne by an edict Issued by the
empress shortly before her death. 1t
is expected that the installation of
the new emperor on the throne and
the naming Of the new era will take
place on the Chinese New Year,
January 21.
AS finally announced official the
emperor died at o'clock Saturday
afternoon, although 1t is believed that
his death occurred a considerable
time before that. The empress was
taken seriously Ill Friday at a meet
ing OF the grand council, when the
serious nature OF the emperor's ILL
ness became known. The announce
ment of her death followed closely
the official statement concerning the
death of the emperor.
Shortly before her death she Is
sued an edict, designating PRINCE Pu
vi emperor, he having already been
made their presumptive by an edict
Issued Friday. 1t is not believed that
