Mrs. M. Taberman OF Third St.,
Washburn Wis, says: 81 was a
victim of kidney trouble and rheu-
matism. I suffered great deal
from pain in the small of my back
and in my sides and limbs. I had
dizzy spells and dull pains in the
back part of my head, felt weak
most of the time and had no energy.
The kidney secretions were also un-
natural. finally heard of Doan s
Kidney Pills and went to Sweet s
drug store for them. l have been
improving steadily since I began
their use. My back seldom hurts me
now, my kidneys are much better

How Red Herrinqs Came.

The first red herring was accidental
~ produced in England many years
ago by a fisherman who, having a sur

around the country as strange mon

The Mississippi Way.

The Mississippi Way. -
John Allen was defending in the
house with unusual warmth and vigor
the manner of conducting elections in
his own state, Mississippi. He waxed
eloquent on the subject and was in the
midst Of a most forceful argument
when, noticing looks Of incredulity and
amusement on the faces of some of his
colleagues, John stammered, halted and
closed with:
"Well-well, it Is true that we have
fair elections in Mississippi, but every
election morning just before the polls
open we fire off few guns and can
non. Just to let the negroes know that

There was Indignation IN. the veins of
Mrs. Caroline Jones when she testified In
a Boston court how her husband, Frank
NJ, had treated her. 1t seems that Mr..
Jones had a little way of his own with
regard to the support of his wife. Once
in a while-no Otter er-he would slip into
Mrs. Jones' room and pin a 81 bill on the
pincushion. Mrs. Jones could spend this
just as she liked, and when it was gons
she could whistle until some more was
pinned on. In many ways 1t Is the only
authenticated instaI ce of real pin money.
One day Mrs. Jones grew bold and asked
her husband IL he couldn't pin something
bigger to the cushion. or pin a littl ,
oftener. Dc you suppose Jones gathered
her to his arms and explained that he wss

He Just couldn't leave her alone. John had
a fund Of humor for every day. a joke for
every hour, a quip and a grin for every
minute; he teased and he tormented. 1t
was unbaarable she declared.
Finally, one day, it became more than
she could stand, so she switched right out
of the house and stayed away for sixteen
years. This is no typographical error-it

The first sentence. she heard through
the close drawn curtains banished all
qualms at eavesdropping. She stood
for many breathless minutes drinking
In the plot that came to her plainly
from within, then turned, gathered up
her skirts, and tiptoed back to her
room. Here she made haste madly,
tearing off her house clothes and don
ming others.
She pressed her face to the window
and noted that the night was like Il
close hung velvet pail, without n star
in sight. Nevertheless, she wound a
heavy veil about her hat and face be-
fore she extinguished the light and
stepped into the hall. Hearing McNa-
mara's GOOD night at the front door,
she reiterated again while her uncle
slowly mounted the stairs and paused
before her chamber. He called her
name softly. but when she did not an
swer continued on to his own room.
When he was safely within she de-
scended quietly, went out, and locked
the front door behind her, placing ,he
key In her bosom. She hurried now,
feeling her way through the thick
gloom In panic, while In her mind
was but one frightened thought:
"I'll be too late. I'll be too late"

But she said mo" firmly, and quietly
went to her own room, where, behind
the locked door, she sat for long time
staring with unseeing eyes, her hands
tight clipched in her lap. At last she
whispered:
Pm afraid it's true. I'm afraid it's
true"
She remained hidden during the
dinner hour, and pleaded headache
when Mcnamara called In the early
evening. Although she had not seen
him since he left her the night before,
bearing her tacit promise to wed him,
yet how could she meet him now with
the conviction growing on her hourly
that he was master rogue? She
wrestled with the thought that he and
her uncle, her own uncle who stood In
the place OF father, were conspira-
tors. And yet, at memory of the
judges cold blooded request that she
should turn traitress, her whole being
tevOlted. If he could ask thing
like that what other heartless, selfish
act might he not be capable OF? All
the long, solitary evening she kept her
room, but at last, feeling faint, slipped
down stairs in search Of Fred, for she
had eaten nothing since her late break
fast.
Voices reached her from the parlor,
and as she came to the last step she
froze there in an attitude Of listening.
